4-Series Convertible
Open-top luxury with sharp dynamics and a power-retractable soft-top · 4 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOKostiantyn Zavhorodnii / PexelsOur verdict
8.1 / 10The BMW 4 Series Convertible delivers the brand's trademark driver engagement wrapped in a sophisticated open-top package. The 18-second power soft-top, available Harman Kardon audio and full iDrive 8 suite make it a strong all-rounder, while the M440i xDrive adds genuine sports-car pace. It is one of the few premium four-seat convertibles still sold new in the UAE, which makes it a distinctive choice on the road.
Who it's for — Buyers who want a genuine drop-top experience with daily-driver practicality, premium refinement and BMW's sharp chassis tuning — and are willing to accept the higher running costs that come with GCC summer use.
