2024 BMW 4 Series Convertible Trims Comparison

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:
