The New M4: BMW 4 Series Convertible M

by Mike Hunter

The BMW 4 Series Convertible M models are the perfect combination of prolific power and daring design. BMW M engineering delivers incredible driving dynamics and outstanding power — on both the road and the racetrack.

Exceptional in every way, this high-performance convertible combines expert engineering and sporty style — completely captivating. With incredible aesthetics and agility, the BMW M4 Competition xDrive Convertible enthralls at first sight. The high-performance BMW M TwinPower Turbo engine and M xDrive all-wheel drive with active M differential set it apart from all others.

M-specific design features and interior enhancements only amplify the freedom drivers feel in the BMW M440i and M440i xDrive Convertible. Whether it’s a craving for an extremely sporty or incredibly comfortable drive, the 8-speed M Steptronic Sport Transmission answers the call. Owners can choose between automatic or manual based on their mood.

Better traction, faster acceleration is what this BMW M xDrive with Active M Differential is all about. It automatically distributes power between the axles and rear wheels for optimal control and handling.

The front of the BMW M440i Convertible is defined by its impressive kidney grille. Horizontal bars provide an eye-catching contrast with the vertical kidney grille. And the M badge is immediate visual promise that there’s power inside. The BMW M440i Convertible offers a fresh take on BMW’s typical four-headlight design. New vertically aligned Adaptive LED headlights make a bold statement while providing optimal visibility at all times. And then there’s the unmistakable rear lights. Breathtaking as it drives away, the high-precision rear lights with laser technology makes a bold statement. The three-dimensional fiberglass clusters ensure razor-sharp contours for improved visibility.

BMW is known for sleek and sophisticated interiors. The modern instrument cluster adds a refined touch to the interior with black trim, complemented by eye-catching double seams. Available in a variety of sophisticated shades, smooth Vernasca Leather upholstery offers incredible elegance and comfort — even on the longest journeys.

Finally, the new M leather steering wheel is comfortable to grip and exciting to admire — especially with the 12 o’clock positioning strip and M badge.
