We take a look at BMWs replacement for the iconic M3 Convertible prior to September 2014 launch
It hasn’t been an awfully long time since the M3 Saloon and the M4 Coupe were revealed at Detroit earlier this year. Rather excitingly, BMW have wasted little time in getting the M4 Convertible ready for launch 6th September. This car will be the fifth generation M Sport cabriolet in BMW’s history.
The M4 Convertible boasts a three part metal roof which is up to 2 decibels quieter than the M3 Convertible; in addition, BMW say that it offers improved levels of “warmth and comfort”. Coupe-styling remains in place when the roof is up - in just 20 seconds, the roof will come down when you want to make the most of the sunshine.
M4 Convertible Performance
The stats – as you would expect – are pretty impressive. New, lightweight engineering means that this baby will get to 62mph in 4.6 seconds and it also has a top speed of 155mph. The 431hp Twin Turbo six-cylinder engine is available in six speed manual or 7 speed automatic M Double Clutch transmission.
M4 Convertible Exterior
As you can see from the stunning pictures, the M4 Convertible has followed the classic M styling lines, making it easily distinguishable as being a true sports car. The sporting, sleek lines are similar to the M3 Convertible - it has maintained the distinctive short overhangs, long bonnet and set-back glasshouse that we are so familiar with. However, the M4 Convertible is bigger than its predecessor.
The M design is embedded in the bonnet and three air intakes feature within the front apron to complement the famous kidney shaped grille. All M4 Convertibles will come with 19 inch alloy wheels as standard and the M Sport styling, which includes M side gills, four shiny exhaust pipes and flared forward wheel arches.
M4 Convertible Interior
Inside the M4 Convertible, you will find a very sporty cabin with abundant M highlights. You will find the M logo on the seats, seatbelts, front head restraints and the M steering wheel. The chrome trim and tri-colour stitching is also a theme that features throughout.
M4 Convertible Standard Equipment
The M4 Convertible will come with BMW Professional Media Package, the upgraded Bluetooth and USB pack, front and rear parking assist, folding mirrors and heated seat.
M4 Convertible Practicality
It is good to know that the convertible hood can be raised at speeds of up to 8 miles per hour, just in case of the odd (or not, as the case may be in England) shower! The rear features two individual rear seats making the M4 Convertible a comfortable 2 + 2.
More practicality includes a new load-assist feature that raises the folded-down roof enabling access to the contents of the boot in 6 seconds. In addition, the boot space is better than the M3 Convertible – it is now 370 litres when the roof is up and 220 litres when the roof is down.
M4 Convertible Pricing
The new M4 Convertible will start from £60,730 OTR – online contract hire, leasing, personal contract and finance quotations will be live onwww.allvehiclecontracts.co.uk website very soon (we will keep you updated!)
Summary
We can’t wait until launch; we can assure you this is one that we will certainly be attending. We will keep you up to date in terms of pricing and pre-order status but one thing we are sure you will agree with is that you could never beat a good M3 Cab, so it’s highly unlikely the M4 Convertible will let us down..
