Used 2020 BMW 4 Series Convertible Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 BMW 4 Series Convertible comes in two trims — 430i or 440i that differ mostly by engine type. The 430i comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque), while the 440i uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (326 hp and 332 lb-ft).

Each engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, though a six-speed manual is a no-cost option. BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system is also offered as an option. The high-performance M4 convertible and related Gran Coupe models are reviewed separately.

The 430i comes well-equipped with features such a power-operated retractable hardtop with a removable wind deflector, LED headlights, foglights, simulated leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, a navigation system, an 8.8-inch display, Apple CarPlay (one-year subscription), and a nine-speaker audio system. Standard driver aids include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The 440i is equipped largely the same, but it adds upgraded steering wheel leather and a premium 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound system with satellite radio. The latter is optional on the 430i.

Notable options include adaptive headlights, an adaptive sport suspension, premium leather upholstery, heated front seats, a neck warmer, a surround-view camera system, and a wireless device charging pad. Additional safety features and driver aids include blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.

Which 4 Series trim does Edmunds recommend?

The 440i's six-cylinder power is intoxicating, but the 430i should hit the sweet spot for most buyers. Its turbo four-cylinder is a strong performer, and the money you save can go toward desirable options, such as an adaptive suspension, heated seats, wireless phone charging, or a variety of driver aids.
