BMW 4 Series Convertible Drops Camo and Poses with Coupe

So they are not going to fix the awkward roofline on E93? Now that the coupe and convertible really make a difference

on the E93 there were fins on the trunk lid. For the OP, the new F-Model they displayed in the original post is a Euro model, thus there is no antenna.

Thanks, didn't know this about the us model. Should've checked it before commenting

I like that it's still a hard top convertible.

I sure wish car makers would find a way to integrate the antenna into the car somehow so cars don't have to have shark fins and other protrusions.

It's amazing how every new (re)model no matter what series, receives so much initial criticism, but inevitably grows on you.. Especially after they get mods.

This ones gonna take a lot longer than before to get any used to

It somehow looks better than the 4er coupe.

Love how BMW blacked out the chrome, finally.

exactly my thinking! It almost looks like a 3 series GT

Yeah something in between. It just looks fat in the back.

Current delta is $8k plus. Would expect nothing less.

So a loaded 435 xDrive droptop is going to be deep into the $70's. Oooooof.

The softtop is considered abit less premium than the metal roof, some more noise, but less weight.
So the 2 will(again) get the softtop, and naturally the 4 which is more upscaled, will recieve once again the metalroof.
To me, the metal roof convertibel solutions looks better then the previous generation, but the E46 convertible looks better imo, more flexible design, better cargo space, and better looking!

or two mustang GTs

, honestly i dunno where they are going with these prices, every other part in the car squeaks, a lot of wind noise, going to service once a month for various problems, will think more next time when buying a car

bmbarclay · 06-26-2013, 06:33 PM

it almost seems like they kept the exact same roof as the E93. Like...exact same

Probably not a bad thing, nothing that has changed has really been for the better.

People with E92's and E93's can be happy. They don't have to update straight away!

Safe, safe styling will become a problem for BM. They obviously admire Toyota too much!

Bie-Mo-Wo · 06-26-2013, 07:59 PM

The shadowline trim looks awesome! Should've done on 335is...

ORIGIN M. · 06-26-2013, 10:42 PM

That's eeeasy, go have it wrapped.
