BMW 4-Series Convertible (2014)
DRIVING DYNAMICS FROM THE TOP DRAWER-
In addition to the enjoyment of the unrivalled open-air driving experience at the push of a button, the BMW 4-Series Convertible also impresses with exhilarating performance and sovereign handling. BMW engineers have succeeded in making key improvements in areas such as steering accuracy, precision and agility. Sophisticated chassis technology, torque-steer-free Electric Power Steering, 50:50 weight distribution, a programme of fine-tuning in the wind tunnel and a lightweight construction concept enabled them to build an unadulterated driving machine. The sporty look of the convertible is evident in the longer wheelbase, wider track and standard lower suspension when compared with its predecessor model. Among many factors, the extremely low centre of gravity also accounts for the remarkable performance and handling of the new BMW 4-Series Convertible.
EFFICIENT-DYNAMICS-
The sheer driving pleasure of the BMW 4-Series Convertible is accompanied by outstanding economy. The source of this low fuel consumption can be traced to BMW Efficient-dynamics, with innovations that can be found throughout the new BMW 4-Series Convertible. In addition to the optimised fuel economy of the petrol and diesel engines, the intelligent lightweight construction concept and honed aerodynamics - headlined by the Air Curtains and Air Breathers - also help to maximise efficiency. Other features such as the Auto Start Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration, the gear shift indicator, on-demand operation of ancillary units and the innovative Proactive Driving Assistant all do their part to ensure low fuel consumption and reduced emissions, without compromising driving performance. The ECO PRO mode can even lead to fuel savings of 20 per cent. In conjunction with the automatic transmission, the new convertible - like the BMW 4-Series Coupe - also features a coasting mode for the first time.
SIX SPEED MANUAL OR EIGHT SPEED SPORTS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION-
The power from the engines is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. BMW also offers all engine variants with an optional eight-speed Sports automatic transmission that allows the driver to change gears manually by using shift paddles on the steering wheel. Both transmissions are equipped as standard with the Auto Start Stop function.
FIVE INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT VARIANTS-
High-class material combinations, exclusive colours and individual equipment variants boasting unbeatable quality of workmanship define the premium ambience on board the new BMW 4-Series Convertible. The standard trim level is based on a material and colour concept that accentuates the classical side of the car's character. But customers may choose to individualise the interior and exterior of their convertible with the Sport, Modern and Luxury Lines, not to mention the M Sport package, which all embody different takes on the car's character.
MOERN LINE-
Matt chrome and satinated aluminium exterior trim elements define the contemporary aesthetics of the Modern Line. The BMW kidney grille with 11 slats in matt chrome, the satinated aluminium lower roof ends, the Air Breathers, the surrounds for the outer air intakes and the trim strip in the rear apron continue the theme; 18-inch or (optionally) 19-inch turbine-style light-alloy wheels lend a fresh angle to the exterior design. The light-coloured dashboard coupled with a steering wheel in dark oyster (both also available in black) create a very special feeling of space. Leather upholstery in oyster or black and a choice of four trim surfaces with accent strips in Pearl Gloss Chrome, add to the appealing contrast of materials. Door panels in two-tone colours are also available for Modern Line variants.
SIX SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX-
Drivers with sporting tendencies will appreciate the easy gear changes, precise shift travel and optimum gear spacing that are the stand-out features of the six-speed manual gearbox for the new BMW 4-Series Convertible. This gearbox is precisely harmonised with the engine characteristics to handle powerful sprints and rapid, short bursts of speed or relaxed cruising, while also playing its part in helping to reduce fuel consumption.
SPEED LIMIT INFO-
In conjunction with the Navigation System Professional and Navigation System Business, Speed Limit Info helps to keep the driver informed of the speed limit for the current stretch of road. The front-mounted camera ensures that additional signs or temporary restrictions are taken into account.
NAVIGATION-
The new generation of the Navigation System Professional has a significantly greater breadth of functionality and a high-resolution, contrast-rich colour display. It impresses with its new design and optimised ease of use. The familiar menu navigation has been retained, although extra functions have been added. The graphics of the previous user interface have been completely revised, and the navigation system's maps now have 3D elements. The central Control Display is operated in the familiar way using the ergonomically, perfectly positioned iDrive Touch Controller in the centre console, which now has an integral new, touch-sensitive surface and proximity sensor technology for even more convenient use. Users can now use their finger to write characters or to enter destinations in the navigation system.
TWO PETROL AND ONE DIESEL ENGINE-
At model launch the BMW 4-Series Convertible can be delivered with an in-line six-cylinder petrol engine (BMW 435i Convertible), a four-cylinder petrol engine (BMW 428i Convertible) and a four-cylinder diesel (BMW 420d Convertible). These engines cover the performance range from 135 kW/184 hp to 225 kW/306 hp and feature the latest BMW Twin-power Turbo technology. These state-of-the-art engines imbue the BMW 4-Series Convertible with outstanding acceleration and elasticity while intelligently reducing fuel consumption in compliance with the EU6 standard.
