Best hardtop convertible on the market.

This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. I have the 428i convertible. Can fit TWO sets of golf clubs in the trunk with the rear seat folded down - which is where the wind deflector is. Perhaps he doesn't own this car?

I snagged a 2018 431 twin turbo convertible hardtop that came off a two year lease with 15, 000 on the clock. Have owned almost a year and put on less than 10, 000 on it & absolutely love it!! Thanks for the video. This car is a diamond ❤️

I doubt this guy own this car. I have a m4 convertible, the wind diffuser is behind your back seats. And you can fit a suitcase in the boot when the top is open. You can actually lift the boot lit when then top is retracted. There is a button in you boot. I think he make his video to tell us he is an idiot. LOL

The whole point of a convertible is to feel the wind in your hair. Perhaps you should have bought the coupe and added a sunroof 😂

Good advice when testing 0-60:

1 - Use the sport gear
2 - press the brake and hold it
3 - press the speeder all the way to kickdown and watch the rpm rise to about 3-4000RPM and HOLD it for around 5 seconds to build boost

4 - let go of the brake and hold the speeder and feel how your back spine is ripped out of your skin only to be molded into the leather behind you.

That's launch control for ya (which almost all BMW's with an automatic transmission have as far as I know)

There's a wind deflector between the rear seat back and the cargo area. Fold the seat back down and it's there.

This is a bad review. I don’t think you’ve owned this car.

My friend has a 428i Convertible. His lease is up soon and I thought about buying his car based on the residual price of his 3-year lease. But after hearing your cons, I don't think I want to buy his car anymore. Thanks. I liked that it is a convertible-hardtop.

You don’t need trunk space, the rear seat is plenty enough. Actually there is a windscreen 💨 behind the rear seat which can reduce the noise like the Porsche.

[yasseralg]

you can tell this guy is really enjoying his 430i ... it is a beautiful car! Nice video!

[poseidon]

All of your con's are (FALSE)! u should really be ashamed.. The wind apparatus is behind the back seat and you can still regulate the space of the trunk while in convertible mode. Not to sound like Pontus Pilot but I FIND NO FAULT in this car only in your early uneducated analogy.

As someone who’s into good
Cars as an owner ..this guy doesn’t know what’s he’s talking about . A terrible review . Comparing a solid bmw w a Carrera is just funny, the rest of it is just BS .

[MrStefspain]

This is a scandalous test ! The trunk is small with the top down, you forget the comfort feature of lifting the top when down, to access the trunk. The trunk is big when the top is up. You forget the possibility of the folded back seat. The harsh drive is because you have the sport suspension and the run flats.Replace the runflats with some conti extreme contact and it will make the car smooth. Wind, a convertible, is wind ! Install the wind deflector ! If sport +, is what you want, buy a 440 ! The 2 liter bmw is making noise like a lawnmower, yes it goes but the sound is .... ! And please do not grab the wheel like a maffia boss ! Not at all for a sporty drive ! Better stop to test cars !

[colinsmith]

The 4 series convertible does have a wind deflector. It's behind the back seat.

[jrusure]

I am looking at a 428 or 430. Thanks for your video. It confirms my decision

[lisajswan]

I have this car and it is so fun to drive! Having fun before I’m

[nicruno]

If you don’t like the wind why didn’t you use the provided wind defuser provided behind the back sest?

[andresparrow]

I stopped this at 3:35. I don’t like listening to reviews who are making criticisms about a vehicle that shows they didn’t do any research to learn their criticism is wrong and the manufacturer addressed it. The rear wind thing is hidden behind the rear seat.

Ran one down from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, loved it. Was pleasantly surprised by every aspect of the experience except for the storage capacity. Enterprise charge me a one-way fee, but it was a standard rent so I got it for about the same amount.

Took it Canyon carving from Hesperia through Wrightwood to Glendale on the California 2, loved it, Sport Plus was essential for fast downshifts, saving my brakes. Of course I got blown away by 911s, but those cars cost at least twice as much.... 😀

Kinda interested in the 440i now..
