4 Series vert unveiled
https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/4-...tible-unveiled
And as expected you won't get much change from £60k, or more like £65k once you've added the essential extras. And the grille still looks shit. |

I think the grille looks worse on that than the Coupe. Somehow seems to emphasise it more, whereas I thought on the new M3 the overall shape kinda balanced it off a bit.

Quite nice looking, can see why the cloth roof is the better option - less weight, more boot space.
But having come from an A3 cab (and similar to the A5) the back looks far too much like an Audi for my liking... actually don't mind the front end though.

I really like that green, reminiscent of an Alpina green.
But doesn't seem to be available on the coupe in M Sport trim. Just dowdy, boring safe colours. D.

As a vert owner I was quite excited about the thought of a new model being released [not that I could afford a new one] and with the change to a fabric roof I was hoping that BMW would incorporate some trick functions into the roof [like the Mini] with a sunroof function or to copy MB's spoiler on the top of the windscreen and incorporate the wind deflector into the car.
Now I've seen the images and the new car is like an Audi without MB's trickery I let out a deep sigh of disappointment. At least Android Auto is now supported. |

Not a pretty front, is it? There's 'bold new' design and there's crap design.. I won't bother finishing the sentence. The 4 series vert should be BMWs prettiest car, imo.

There's very few convertable soft tops that look good with the roof up or down, unfortunately this isn't one of them, looks far worse than the coupe !

The first few photographs were top down but the first picture with the roof up and at the angle it was taken, I thought it looked amazing, very Bentley-ish or something equally grand. And the grille didn't look so out of place either. (Sorry haters)
At least that grille doesn't look like the large lipped, very plastic looking grille on the 3 series (particularly m-sport). Old BMWs had grilles as tall as those, just not so wide but the overall width of the front seems to make it less painful. |

It does in M440i guise in the pics I’ve seen. You’ve just posted pics of cars that are different spec.

Ah - are the fake exhausts considered a desirable option?
