About BMW CONVERTIBLE

When you buy a convertible, you're making a decision to place style and an exhilarating driving experience above all other considerations. Convertibles are usually two-seaters with a moveable rooftop that allows you to be exposed to the outdoors from the comfort of your vehicle. Some models, however, including BMW's 4-Series and 8-Series convertibles, can seat up to four passengers. More often than not, convertibles also feature more dynamic stylings and sportier performance (like their lower profile and center of gravity) that enhance the thrill of the drive. And when your convertible's top is down, you can hear the roar of the powerful engine in its highest fidelity.

Why Buy a BMW Convertible?


BMW's convertibles, such as their classic Z4 roadster, boast aggressive stylings with powerful engines. Inside, you can expect BMW luxury, from plush materials to advanced safety features. All luxury vehicles are expensive, let alone their performance models that can include convertibles. But going the second-hand route can be a great way to own one at a discount. The largest chunk of its value is lost when it's purchased brand new, so you'll be getting a significant discount when you buy a used BMW convertible. For a fuss-free second-hand BMW convertible purchase, we recommend shopping for auto parts with a reputable used car dealer, such as BE FORWARD.

What to Consider When Buying a BMW Convertible


Practicality & Space


Getting a convertible is rarely a decision based on practical concerns, but you'll nevertheless want to make sure that the car you're getting will be able to serve your needs. Because convertibles are typically smaller than other car bodies, they might not be the best option for transporting whole families and their items. This is especially true of the BMW Z4 roadster. Let's be honest, though: if you're looking at a convertible, a smaller size means a more thrilling and wind-blown driving experience.

Security


Convertibles are more susceptible than other car types to theft and vandalism, especially those with a soft top. If you're living in areas that are not the safest, you might want to look past a convertible or at least get one with a hard top. At the very least, make sure you have a personal garage or another safe place to store it when you're not riding in it.

Maintenance & Repair Costs


The moveable roofs add another part of the car that needs to be maintained. Their intricate mechanisms mean that any repair bill for the roof will be pretty pricey. Plan and budget accordingly.

Soft Top vs. Hard Top


Soft tops add different textures to the exterior of your convertible. If you enjoy the sound of a roaring engine and want to feel more in tune with the outdoors, even with your rooftop up, this is definitely a plus! But as mentioned, they can be more unsafe than hard tops. Furthermore, they have lower sound insulation and can be noisier even with the roof up, and their lower durability can make them more expensive to maintain. Keep these in mind when choosing between the two types.

Best Convertibles from BMW


Z4


The Z4 is BMW's iconic luxury roadster that features classic roadster proportions with its long hood and low and wide stance. Compared to other roadsters on the market, the Z4 was more premium, boasting powerful engines like a 3.0L turbocharged unit capable of up to 340 hp for model years from 2009 to 2018. A coupe version was also available from 2006 to 2013. For its 2018 model year onwards, the Z4 came with Near Field Communication technology that turns the smartphone into a key in case you forget to bring yours out.

4-Series Convertible


The 4-Series was first introduced as the coupe version of the 3-Series, and it came as a convertible with a retractable hard-top. It comfortably seats up to four adults with its large wheelbase. For the 2021 model year onwards, the decision to make the 4-Series a hard-top-only convertible was reversed, with the 4-Series switching to a soft top. This change gave it 80 L more trunk room than its predecessor. The 4-Series also comes in mild hybrid gasoline and diesel engines in addition to the standard gasoline and diesel versions.

M4


The coupe version of the successful touring motorsport M3, the M4, is a performance beast. For its 2014 - 2020 model years, a prominent open grille and air vents on the sides of the bumper gave it an aggressive exterior. This was matched, maybe even surpassed, by what was under the hood - a 3.0L straight-six capable of 431 hp. From 2021 onwards, an all-wheel drive system became available.

8-Series Convertible


BMW's 8-Series was initially released in 1990, but it was only in 2018, with the resurrection of the 8-Series, that the convertible version was introduced. The 8-Series convertible featured top-of-the-line materials and technologies, including an infotainment system with a 10.3-inch touchscreen (the best on the market at the time), standard voice control, and Apple CarPlay. In addition to the 3.0L with two sequential turbos that produce 320 hp, there is a 4.4L twin turbo V8 eight-cylinder capable of 530 hp powering the M850i xDrive version.

2-Series Convertible


As the only premium compact convertible on the market, the 2-Series convertible is in a class of its own. The soft top of the 2-Series consists of seven layers of different materials that add soundproofing and thermal insulation. The 2017 model came with standard flat-bottom styled bi-LED headlights. Eight engines ranging from 136 hp to 340 hp were available. Depending on the model, these came with an eight-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic, with rear- or all-wheel-drive.
