BMW 4 Series offers a convertible version, along with a two-door hardtop version and a four-door hardtop version. The BMW 4 Series is a sporty B-segment car under the BMW brand, equipped with three engine options: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine of the BMW 4 Series delivers 184 horsepower and a maximum torque of 270 Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1,350 and 4,600 rpm and the maximum power at 5,000 rpm. The high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1,450 and 4,800 rpm and the maximum power at 5,200 rpm. The 3.0-liter turbocharged engine generates a maximum power of 240 kW and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1,380 and 5,000 rpm and the maximum power at 5,500 rpm.
As a long-time BMW enthusiast, I can definitively tell you that the BMW 4 Series does indeed have a convertible version. This variant is marketed as the 4 Series Convertible in BMW's lineup, featuring an electrically operated soft-top design that can complete the opening/closing process in just 18 seconds, with operation possible at speeds up to 50km/h. I recall that the latest 4 Series convertibles are equipped with powerful 2.0T or 3.0T engines paired with ZF's 8AT transmission - the exhaust note with the top down is particularly captivating. However, it's worth noting that the convertible version weighs over 200kg more than the coupe, and trunk space is affected by the roof mechanism. Having test-driven a friend's car, I can confirm the chassis remains remarkably stable during cornering even with the top down - a testament to BMW's exceptional tuning expertise.
