New BMW M4 Competition Convertible M xDrive 2022 revealed | 1st Look-Exterior,Drive

This is the new 2022 BMW M4 Competition Convertible M xDrive.

With the introduction of a third body variant, BMW M GmbH is adding a highly exclusive model to its line-up of high-performance sports cars in the premium midsize segment. The new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive brings together next-level performance and singular individuality. The ability to open the cabin to the elements adds an extra thrill to the standout dynamic potency of its powertrain and the signature M precision of its driving properties. The new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive channels the 373 kW/510 hp developed by its six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology to the road via an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and the M xDrive all-wheeldrive system. The open-top four-seater represents a compelling proposition with its distinctive allure, inherent luxury and the everyday usability for which M models are renowned, just as much as in its ability on the race track.

Production of the new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive will begin in July 2021 at BMW Plant Dingolfing, where models including all the variants of the new BMW M4 Coupé, BMW M5, BMW M8 and new BMW 4-Series Convertible also roll off the assembly line. The worldwide market launch of the new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive will get underway immediately after the start of production.

Dynamic lines, powerfully contoured surfaces and M-specific design features - designed to optimise the supply of cooling air and sharpen aerodynamics - paint a clear picture of the sporting potential under the skin of the new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive. In terms of exterior design, the differentiation between the new M contender and the new BMW 4-Series Convertible on which it is based is more striking than in any generation that has gone before. Aside from the doors, softtop, boot lid, window surfaces, headlights and rear lights, every part of the exterior is bespoke to the M model, an exercise in meeting the exacting demands to which a high-performance sports car must rise. "The design is strictly function-led, puristic and uncompromising in its reduction to the essential aspects," explains Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. "But at the same time, it provides an emotionally powerful expression of the car's character."

The new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive reveals its adherence to exclusive driving pleasure and racing-inspired characteristics without the need for a second glance. Its new panel bow softtop roof teams up with the crisp forms of its body to generate an aesthetic laced with purity and emotional power. M light-alloy wheels of notable size (front axle: 19-inch, rear axle: 20-inch) are part of standard specification, while an M Carbon exterior package is available as an option. Once inside, the ambience of modern luxury and a cockpit devoted entirely to the cause of driving engagement deliver an unbridled M feeling that only grows more intense when the softtop roof is open. Unobstructed access to the sun and onrushing wind, coupled with direct immersion in the engine's soundtrack, creates a performance experience of intoxicating drama for the driver and passengers. "The new BMW M4 Convertible allows me to experience the huge power of a BMW M automobile in unfiltered form under the open sky," reflects Marcus Syring, Head of BMW M Design.

The hallmark driving attributes of a BMW M model stem from the sublimely balanced overall concept of the new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive, which is summed up by its exterior dimensions and proportions. The new model has grown by 122 millimetres in exterior length over the model it replaces, and now stretches to 4,794 millimetres. Its wheelbase has grown by 45 mm to 2,857 mm and its width of 1,887 mm adds 17 mm to that of its predecessor and 40 mm to the new BMW 4-Series Convertible. The new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive measures 1,395 millimetres in height with the softtop closed.

M-specific design promises mighty performance

With its body stretched low along the road and its clear, reduced surfacing, the exterior of the new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with M xDrive sends out an unmistakable statement of majestic performance at work. The car's neatly judged balance between dynamic punch and aesthetic allure is particularly noticeable when the softtop is folded away. Setting the seal on its powerful visual emotionality are M-specific design features born out of the exacting functional demands placed on a high-performance sports car.

At the centre of the front end is the large, vertical BMW kidney grille, which plunges down towards the road and advertises the engine's need for cooling air to impressive.
