BMW 4 Series Convertible: Features explained

When people started getting used to high-performance sportscars back in the day, auto companies were brainstorming on how to break the stereotypes. And come up with something that would blow people’s minds off. Beautiful and fast cars were the thing, and it was amazing how people used to be amazed by their performance.

Then came in the convertibles. They allowed people to convert their brand-new alluring sportscar from a claustrophobic box into an open-roof super cool car. This trend caught up within no time and convertibles became the part of the industry. BMW produced many convertibles, and one of its latest one that you can get in the UAE is the BMW 4 Series Convertible. It is a beautiful and capable car. Let’s see what interesting features does it has.

Captivating design

We can’t just go about talking of every single element of the 4 Series Convertible. As BMW has done such a brilliant job that everything on this car deserves a special mention. So broadly speaking, this convertible has got a captivating design. It is unmistakenly a BMW that you can instantly tell courtesy the signature kidney grille at the front and those low-set aggressive LED headlamps.

While you’d get an impression of the BMW 4 Series Convertible as a brutal sportscar from the front, the side profile tells a different story. It shows elegance, maturity, and calmness which is raised as soon as the hardtop of this convertible gets disappeared into oblivion. The rear of the BMW 4 Series Convertible is extremely eye-catching with its signature LED tail lamps and a BMW badge proudly sitting at the centre of the boot lid.

Foldable hardtop

Yes, it might appear as an obvious feature, but we had to mention this anyway. The hardtop of the BMW 4 Series Convertible when fully stretched makes the car a normal sedan. It has got a perfect shape which not only adds to the looks but also is aerodynamically contoured. And when it is down and folded, well, watching it fold or unfold in itself is quite amazing. It takes approximately 20 seconds to do that, and it reveals the luxurious and comfortable cabin of the car. And surprisingly, the aerodynamics of the BMW 4 Series Convertible don’t get affected even with the hardtop folded.

Feature-rich and luxurious interior

It is understood that since it is a BMW its interior has to be one of the finest. The BMW 4 Series Convertible offers a feature-rich interior that has seen the use of a plethora of exquisite materials. It is a luxurious cabin from which you don’t want to step out. The dashboard is very much driver-oriented which isn’t a surprise since it is a fast BMW sportscar.

The multifunctional instrument display of the BMW 4 Series Convertible features a 5.7-inch display which shows a ton of information. It even changes colour depending on the driving mode selected. This gives an immersive driving experience.

You also get a full-colour BMW Head-Up Display which projects information like the current speed, navigation directions, etc. directly into the driver's field of vision thereby allowing them to fully concentrate on driving. Moving on, we also get a navigation system which supports hands-free facility and comes with a three-dimensional map display.

Impressive performance

The BMW 4 Series Convertible specs list two engine options - a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with 244 PS & 345 Nm and a more powerful 3.0L-litre 6-cylinder mill which churns out 304 PS and 406 Nm. Both of them promise to give a powerful and thrilling experience when it comes to performance. BMW claims that the 430i convertible is capable to kill the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in a mere 6.4 seconds and has got a top speed of 250 kmph. The precise setup of the optional 8-speed Steptronic transmission ensures that you get a unique driving experience that you’ll fall for and get addicted. And since it is a typical rear-wheel drive car, you can have unlimited fun, if you know what we mean.
