Along with the coupe, BMW refreshed the first generation of the 4 Series convertible at the beginning of 2024, improving not just the exterior of the vehicle but also its underpinnings.

Changing from soft-top to hard-top just a few years ago seemed to be a good idea, but in 2020 BMW did the exact opposite by switching from hard-top to soft-top for the 4-Series convertible.

The German producer released the 4 series in 2013. The 4 series were the rebadged versions of the 3 series, the different nameplate being used to differ the sedan from the coupe and the convertible models. Despite the different nameplates, the 3 series and the 4 series shared the same platform, the same drivetrain and even the same interior features. The facelift version was released in 2017 and started selling with 2018.

The German automaker introduced the 4 Series as the coupe version for the 3 Series, either with two or four-door hatchback styling, and, in 2014, the Convertible followed the same path.
