BMW 430i Convertible

FEATURES

The 2024 BMW 4-series coupe and convertible offer the same luxury goodness as the 3-series sedan, but they prioritize swoopy styling over practicality with less rear seat room and less cargo space than their four-door counterpart. The 4-series also features a different grille design than the 3-series, likely to help differentiate it from its three-box sibling, but the outcome is a polarizing love-it-or-hate-it design. The 4-series is offered in entry-level 430i and more powerful M440i trims, each with plenty of power. Unfortunately, neither exhibits the sharp handling characteristics we prefer from previous generations of BMW’s entry-luxury cars. Although we consider the 3-series to be one of the best offerings in the segment, the 4-series models we’ve tested haven’t delivered as much driving enjoyment, leading us to believe that there are more favorable two-door options amongst rivals, including the Audi A5. Even so, the 4-series’ posh cabin and powerful turbocharged engines keep it in the hunt with the rest of the class. Those who prefer the styling of the coupe to the sedan but still want four doors should consider the 4-series Gran Coupe, a model we review separately.- Car and Driver Magazine
