So does this new one fix the old one\u2019s soggy chassis issues? According to this new review from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pistonheads.com\/news\/ph-driven\/2021-bmw-m4-competition-convertible-ph-review\/44937\">Piston Heads<\/a>, yes it does.<\/p>\n<p>For the new G83 generation M4 Convertible, BMW did a few things differently. In fact, PH specifically says that the new G83 \u2014 while certainly not perfect \u2014 fixes the issues of its predecessor. Over bumps, PH editor Mike Duff says of the M4 Convertible, \u201cIt\u2019s not an open-topped bank vault, there was still the sense of slight movement through the steering column as the body flexed plus very slight mirror vibration over certain frequencies of bumps. But it was nothing like the wibbly wobbly F83.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-412851\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2022 bmw m4 convertible tanzanite blue 12 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2022 bmw m4 convertible tanzanite blue 12 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-412851\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2022 bmw m4 convertible tanzanite blue 12 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m4_convertible_tanzanite_blue_12.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2022 bmw m4 convertible tanzanite blue 12 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Music to my ears. More importantly, the lack of roof hasn\u2019t ruined the steering or handling feel of the M4. Drive any new BMW M3 or M4 and you\u2019ll soon realize that they\u2019re a cut above other sports cars in the segment. Thankfully, that same razor-sharp tactility isn\u2019t lost with the loss of the M4\u2019s roof. If anything, the added engine and exhaust noise, along with the wind in your hair, adds to the experience and makes it more exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s not perfect; it\u2019s quite the porky car, checking in at over two tons, and it\u2019s still not as rigid as the Coupe; but it\u2019s certainly an upgrade over its predecessor and seems to be a worthy topless addition to the M4 lineup.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pistonheads.com\/news\/ph-driven\/2021-bmw-m4-competition-convertible-ph-review\/44937\">Piston Heads<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to love the new BMW M4 Competition xDrive Convertible (just not that long name, sheesh), I really do.
