One of the more overlooked cars in M Division\u2019s fleet is the BMW M4 Convertible<\/a>. It might not be the enthusiast\u2019s choice, simply because convertibles are heavier and less rigid than their coupe counterparts. However, the M4 Convertible is actually a pretty cool car and one that deserves some attention. In this new video from Tedward, you get to take a POV drive of the M4 Convertible to see what it\u2019s like to drive a drop-top, 503 horsepower monster.<\/p>\n

The BMW M4 Convertible only comes in one spec: Competition, automatic, xDrive. In BMW-speak that means its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six makes 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, it only uses the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, and it\u2019s only all-wheel drive. All of that combines to make a ferociously fast car, even with the added weight of the convertible top.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a complaint about the M4 Convertible it\u2019s the car\u2019s video-game like steering, which is a valid concern with all M3\/M4 models. However, the brutal front-end grip and intense all-wheel drive system makes up for that fact. The M4 is more Nissan GT-R than it is E46 M3 but that\u2019s not such a bad thing. With the top down, you\u2019re even more exposed to all of that speed, the wind in your face, and the sounds of the engine\/exhaust.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for M4 Convertible owners, it isn\u2019t the best sounding car. BMW\u2019s new S58 engine<\/a> sounds better than the engine it replaced, the S55, but it still isn\u2019t exactly sonorous. Instead, it makes more of just a generic six-cylinder engine noise and, while loud, it isn\u2019t particularly exciting to hear. On the flip-side, the engine makes up for that with absolutely violent power and acceleration. The M4 Convertible might not look intimidating to most sports car owners but its raw power and performance will end up roasting almost any sports car it lines up next to.<\/p>\n
