Spotted a 4 Series Convertible

mb135is · 11-04-2013, 12:43 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

This 'vert was parked with two other BMW NA cars, one an F30 sedan (with only one exhaust pipe and no badge), and a 428i xdrive M-sport.

Admin Edit:

What's interesting about this particular car is that it's a Modern Line 4 Series Convertible (unavailable for the U.S.), as well as sporting an M Sport steering wheel, M shift knob and manual transmission. The U.S. 4 Series convertible has not been announced as being available with manual transmission. See official 4 Series convertible details.

The 4 Series Convertible will make its world debut at the LA Auto Show next month.

Here's the 'vert (apologies for crappy pics):

I don't really like it..... Especially the trim around the fog lights, those are just wrong IMO

EHDEN · 11-04-2013, 10:40 PM

car looks weird looking IMO.

SJ00 · 11-04-2013, 10:49 PM

not a fan tbh. just like the e92, the rear just doesn't work..

seamasters · 11-05-2013, 06:31 AM

it looked kinda nice in the official video, but in these photos I'm not sure, they have get rid of those silver trim in the front and rear bumper looks cheap,. ??might look nice with M pack

mb135is · 11-05-2013, 07:44 AM

The sedan it was next to must be a euro-only car as well. It had a lot of test equipment in it. The coupe looked like a regular US-spec 428i M-sport. Notice the camo on the front Roundel but not on the back Roundel of the 'vert.

Fail

PhillyNate · 11-05-2013, 09:46 AM

It looks like the Batmobile.

Maybe the F30 was a 328d. That has a single pipe.

I dislike this ore that the e93 I believe....eww

Qunadry · 11-05-2013, 09:53 AM

My 2012 135i will be my last new BMW unless the company gets back to building cars for enthusiasts.

e92dave · 11-05-2013, 10:05 AM

Top down=sexy. Top up=awkward as f. I really hoped theyd get this one right but its another fail. Shouldve gone ragtop

Judge Dredd · 11-05-2013, 10:15 AM

I'm not a huge fan of the fog light trim either but I think it's a good looking car. And with a manual transmission? Awesome!

benbo5 · 11-05-2013, 10:17 AM

Not Good

ad78 · 11-05-2013, 10:20 AM

What the hell is going on with the trim... It's like an American car all over

Get rid of the gypsy chrome / silver. Then it will look ok

Vector Pilot · 11-05-2013, 10:57 AM

Agree with all of the negative comments. Isn't there anyone in that design studio who can stop the excessive styling, example the silver trimmed fog lights.

positiveions · 11-05-2013, 11:10 AM

Looks like a 5 series convertible.

Averdi · 11-05-2013, 11:16 AM

Awkward trimming everywhere..

JunkStory · 11-05-2013, 11:20 AM

The roof looks identical to the e93! Hard to tell difference from side profile.
