Recently revealed was the 2015 BMW M4 Convertible at the Javits Center in New York City.
This new car offers more headroom, fresh air and lots of sunshine to those who want a little greater outdoors and tousled hair with the M experience.
One of the most notable features of this convertible is its expressive face; the facia has the company’s signature twin-bar kidney, squinty LED headlights, and a trio of air intakes.

Engine & Performance
This new convertible uses the same engine as the coupe. This means it’s powered by a high-revving, twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter engine. This engine is mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed manual M dual-clutch transmission.
The engine produces 425 hp and a torque of 406 pound-feet. According to BMW, this car can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.4 seconds when equipped with the manual.
Exterior
The 2015 M4 convertible is similar to the coupe. It carries on the hardtop’s athletic stance with its long wheelbase, aerodynamic mirrors, short front overhang and some optional painted brake calipers.
To reduce weight and preserve rigidity, this car features carbon-fiber reinforced plastics in some areas.
The top takes only 20 seconds to raise or lower and can even be operated at up to 11 mph. Once the top is stowed, the cargo space in the trunk is reduced by almost half; 18 inch trims are standard, while 19-inches are optional.
Interior
Inside, you will find driver-friendly analog gauges together with a 6.5 inch display screen that is mounted at the top of the dashboard. The screen displays audio and car information.
Redundant controls are on car’s steering wheel and the dashboard provide alternate ways of accessing all the electronics. Optional navigation is also available with the Google point-of-interest -search and real-time traffic information.
The navigation system also comes with a touchpad on iDrive knob that allows you write phone numbers, your contact names and all your navigation destinations.
The cargo space measures 13 cubic feet when the top is up and about 7.8 cubic ft when the top is down.
