Intricately Designed Convertible Cars

The 2015 BMW M4 Convertible Blends Power and Style

— April 8, 2014 — Autos
German auto-maker giant BMW revealed its 2015 BMW M4 convertible. This stylish 2-door sports car comes equipped with a state-of-the-art 431 horsepower 3.0-liter engine with twin-power turbo technology. This powerful engine is paired with a seven-speed double clutch transmission. These elements enable the 2015 BMW M4 convertible to sprint from zero to 100 kh/h in a hugely impressive 4.4 seconds.

This 5th generation convertible design incorporates several familiar BMW elements including a lightweight bonnet, triple-air-intake front apron, black double-bar grille and an exhaust system with four tailpipes.

The 2015 BMW M4's folding metal roof has a comprehensive interior lining and boasts soundproof and weather-proof construction. The roof can be opened at a touch of a button and takes 20 seconds to open. It can be opened as long as the car is traveling at no faster than 18 km/h.
