Designed
to replace the 3-Series Convertible, the BMW 4-Series Convertible is a
topless, high-style alternative to the 3-Series sedan. -----------Also offered as a
coupe, it is quieter, cushier and more tech---------focused than its
predecessor but it continues to serve up an engaging driving experience
to go along with its distinctive look.
The 4's wide stance is accentuated up front by a muscular, creased hood, -----------a flared lower fascia and BMW's new fused-grille/headlight design.
The
4 is fitted with a three-piece retractable hard top that electronically
opens or closes in 20 seconds at speeds of up to 11 mph.----------------- The hard top
provides a quieter ride and better all-weather insulation than a
conventional fabric top while giving----------- the convertible a coupe-like
silhouette when closed.
Backing up the sporty appearance is a choice of two powerful yet efficient turbocharged and directed-injected motors.---------------- The 428i uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque ------------ potent enough to propel the coupe from zero-to-60 mph in the mid-five-second range - while the 435i packs a 3.0-liter inline-six with 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. -----------When properly equipped, BMW says the 435i can hit 60 mph in five seconds flat.
Both motors are available exclusively with an eight-speed automatic with optional paddle shifters;-------- the coupe's six-speed manual is not available.
A 75-pound lower curb weight courtesy of wide-spread high- and ultra-high-strength steel translates to improved efficiency compared to the old 3-Series Convertible.-------------- Also aiding economy is an auto-start system,---------- regenerative braking and an ECO PRO system that provides tips on reducing consumption.
Mileage is rated at 23/34 city/highway mpg for the 428i and 22/30 mpg for the 435i.
The 4-Series Convertible is fitted with a lowered, specially tuned version of the 3-Series sedan's suspension.
Occupant Safety: All 4-Series Convertibles come standard with dual front, front knee, -------------- front side and full-length side curtain airbags in addition to traction and stability control systems and a tire pressure monitoring system.
