BMW 4 Series M440i Convertible Exterior Shown

Good

Look past the controversially styled grille and you'll find that the 2024 4 Series convertible is actually pretty pleasant and engaging to drive. The 430i has plenty of thrust to scoot around, and the six-cylinder of the M440i is truly special. Unfortunately, the more powerful variant is saddled with a few additions that may make you question whether you really want to make the $10,000 plunge.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Michael Cantu

5/8/2026

The 4 Series is made for those who prefer a sporty two-door coupe or the drop-top experience of a convertible over a traditional sedan. It's based on the 3 Series but has a higher starting price. The separately reviewed Gran Coupe model has four doors like the 3 Series and is about the same size but differentiates itself with a different front end and a sportier design. For 2024, BMW updated the 4 Series' interior with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a larger 14.9-inch center touchscreen housed behind a single curved display. The high-performance M4 is reviewed separately.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Cameron Rogers

Good

7.9

out of 10

We drove the BMW 4 Series on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the 4 Series drive? We tested a rear-wheel-drive M440i convertible. It packs a lot of punch, and in our testing it ripped from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds — a full second quicker than a similarly equipped 430i coupe we also tested. Acceleration is punchy at highway speeds, too. It stopped from 60 mph in 109 feet, which is a few feet longer than that 430i, though the coupe weighed roughly 500 pounds less.

Unfortunately, the brakes are grabby at low speeds and require a delicate foot to slow smoothly. The automatic engine stop-start system is also clunkier in the M440i than in the 430i, and it doesn't have a dedicated disable button.

The steering is a little vague during truly spirited driving. It's a mild disappointment in a BMW, though the reality is that rivals aren't appreciably better in this regard. Handling is a 4 Series strength, with stable composure around tight bends and a seemingly high limit for traction control intervention. The eight-speed automatic shifts smoothly and always seems to be in the right gear, making this an easy car to live with.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the 4 Series? BMW makes some of the best front seats in the business. They are comfortable and feature multiple adjustments — including side bolster angle and thigh extension — that allow you to find an ideal sitting position.

The M440i's standard adaptive suspension provides a surprisingly supple ride. Wind and tire noise is kept to a minimum too. The only real misstep is the climate system. We appreciate a tri-zone system in such a small convertible, but the automatic function bizarrely does not adjust fan speed. The sync function is also buried in a touchscreen menu.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The 4 Series' cabin will be familiar to current BMW drivers but potentially daunting to those unfamiliar with BMW's design methods. There are a lot of buttons, though most controls are grouped intuitively. Similarly, the menus for the iDrive infotainment system are complex and take time to learn, but most commonly used controls are just a few clicks away. One issue for everyone is that the smartphone charging pad is located in front of the cupholders, so if you have cups in there, you can't reach your phone.

There's decent legroom up front, but the compact dimensions limit the usefulness of the rear seat. Tall drivers will find it easier to fit in the convertible than the coupe since the drop-top lacks the coupe's headroom-sapping sunroof.

Visibility out of the front isn't great. The flat hood makes placing the front of the car challenging, and the sideview mirrors can modestly obstruct your view through left turns. The convertible's thick rear roof pillars inhibit rear visibility too.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? Wireless smartphone connectivity through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is now standard and worked flawlessly in our test car. You can also always charge with the four USB ports and optional charging pad. The navigation system is quite helpful, even returning Yelp reviews for nonresidential destinations. Unfortunately, the screen displays too much map information. Major streets are highlighted even as you zoom out, so if you have traffic enabled, prepare for a sea of red, yellow and green.

The voice control system does a great job of recognizing spoken addresses and point-of-interest requests. The 4 Series' available Harman Kardon audio system is also impressive and produces full and immersive sound.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The 4 Series convertible's trunk can hold a maximum of 13.6 cubic feet of stuff, which is a bit more than the capacity of the Mercedes C-Class convertible and Audi A5 and S5 convertibles. The BMW's rear seats also fold down to increase carrying capacity, but the pass-through is on the narrow side. A partition in the trunk separates the cargo compartment from the area reserved for the stowed convertible top, but if you keep the top up, you can utilize the full trunk.

Interior storage is surprisingly good for a convertible of this size. There are trays and cubbies galore, and even rear passengers have storage solutions.

If you're considering a four-seater because you have kids in mind, loading a child seat shouldn't be difficult (provided you have the top down). That said, the tight quarters mean that any adult in the front will have to scoot their seat forward to make a rear child seat fit.

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The M440i convertible with the automatic transmission gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined. That's great for a car with this kind of performance. The Audi S5 Cabriolet is 4 mpg less efficient and the Mercedes-AMG C 43 is down 5 mpg, according to the EPA, though it's worth noting that they come standard with all-wheel drive, which reduces efficiency. The Ford Mustang GT convertible is even worse, at 18 mpg combined. We achieved 26.3 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation loop, proving that the EPA's estimates are easily achievable in real life.

Value

8/10

Is the 4 Series a good value? The 4 Series convertible is an expensive drop-top. Prices start at just over $54,000, and our M440i test car with some — but not all — bells and whistles rang in at an eye-watering $73,120. That's about what you'd pay for a Mercedes-AMG C 43 convertible and a little more than a comparable Audi S5 Cabriolet. However, dedicated sports cars such as the Corvette Stingray convertible or Porsche 718 Boxster are much more impressive dynamically. And if you need a four-seater, the Ford Mustang GT offers similar levels of performance for much less. We can't deny the 4 Series' top-notch construction, but some cabin surfaces could be nicer for this money.

Like Audi and Mercedes, BMW offers a bumper-to-bumper warranty good for four years/50,000 miles. The first three scheduled maintenance visits are complimentary, which is more generous than its direct rivals.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The smooth inline-six of the M440i is a great motor. The thrust is palpable, and the exhaust note is throaty and burbly. The thing is, the 430i isn't that much slower and saves you about $10,000. The 430i's engine stop-start system is also easy to disable at the press of a button. (The M440i doesn't have a button and requires a work-around by changing driving modes.)

We've yet to meet a person who likes the look of the 4 Series' front end. But it's distinctive, we'll give it that. And you can always get the 4 Series in a dark color to make the grille less pronounced. Otherwise, this is a capable and well-rounded sporty convertible that is satisfying to drive.

Buying Tips for the 2024 BMW 4 Series for May

Here are some buying and negotiating tips for the 2024 BMW 4 Series that should help you get a great deal:

Buyers are paying around 14% less than the sticker price, which means you could save around $7,003 to $8,848 depending on the trim.
The 430i trim offers the lowest priced option while still securing a significant saving off MSRP.
Inventory for new 4 Series models is quite limited, so you might want to contact local dealers to reserve your vehicle.
If you're considering used options, the lowest dealer price is about $33,250. Used models tend to sell quickly, in just 34 days on average, which could impact negotiation flexibility.
With no current customer cash rebates or special APR offers, focus negotiations on the price gap between MSRP and market value.

2024 BMW 4 Series trim level differences

The 2024 BMW 4 Series two-door coupe and convertible are available in 430i, 430i xDrive, M440i and M440i xDrive trim levels. The four-door Gran Coupe model is reviewed separately. The 430i versions have a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (255 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque), while the M440i packs a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder (382 hp, 369 lb-ft). An eight-speed automatic transmission backs both engines. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and xDrive models have all-wheel drive. Feature highlights include: Compare the 2024 BMW 4 Series trim levels in-depth.

Which 4 Series trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you have an extra $10K for the M440i, you'll enjoy its extra power and features. But most people will be happy with the base 430i model. It comes well equipped and can be upgraded with most of the features found in the M440i.

Competitors to consider

The 4 Series has few rivals because there aren't many luxury automakers that offer three body styles under one nameplate. The Audi A5 is a direct rival that does and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz CLE will offer a coupe and convertible. If you don't mind going the non-luxury route, the V8-powered Ford Mustang GT is another alternative that's available as a coupe and convertible. For a thorough review of the 4 Series, check out our test team's Expert Rating below.

Edmunds spotlight: M440i's power and efficiency

Under the hood of the M440i is a potent turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine that produces 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. That's more than enough power when puttering around town and plenty of grunt for the open road. The M440i convertible blasted from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds when we tested it. But its mild hybrid engine is also efficient. The rear-drive coupe model gets an impressive 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving, and the heavier convertible is rated at 26 mpg. For comparison, the significantly less powerful 255-hp 430i gets 28 mpg combined.

2024 BMW 4 Series M440i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

The performance is great. I am actually averaging 29mpg in mixed driving. The xdrive is a no brainer. The interior is well designed and the technology is impressive. After owning eight Mustangs this car gets it right. European car makers are more fuel conscience without sacrificing performance. I’m sold!
