Convertible version too

There’s a convertible version of the M4 available too. Its roof takes 20 seconds to fold down, and you do lose some of the excellent body control the M4 Coupe boasts. As with the regular 4 Series Convertible, there’s a system to lift the roof assembly up to load larger items. You’ve got a choice of some options for convertible motoring too, including an air scarf and heated steering wheel.

As a complete sports car that can offer a modicum of everyday comfort and practicality few rivals come so close.
