2015 BMW M4 Convertible unveiled

BMW has taken the wraps off the Convertible version of its all-new M4 Coupe prior to its debut at the New York Auto Show.

The three-section folding metal roof of the BMW M4 Convertible has full interior lining and “excellent soundproofing and winter-proof construction”. The roof opens at the touch of a button in under 20 seconds – while travelling at up to 18 km/h.

Unsurprisingly, the car is powered by the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine found on the M4 Coupe. The unit produces 425 bhp and 550 Nm of peak torque, which enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds with the seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission and in 4.4 seconds with the standard six-speed manual.
