FAST FACTS
"People often buy convertibles for their curb appeal, and the 4 Series arguably comes up short on that front, thanks to its enormous kidney grilles and somewhat awkward proportions. But its powertrains and technology are undoubtedly at the head of this class."—Ranked #1 out of 2 Compact Luxury Convertibles

We'd want a bit more oomph in our luxury convertible, but there's always a market for laid-back boulevard cruisers, and the 430i mostly delivers those goods. Although the four-cylinder engine's output is unchanged for 2025, internal changes (including the addition of a 48-volt mild hybrid system and Miller cycle combustion) result in significantly better fuel economy.
We can't think of a great reason to add all-wheel drive to a luxury convertible, especially since the current 4 Series has a soft top rather than its predecessor's retractable hardtop. If you had the hardtop, okay, maybe you'd like to drive it through the winter. But with the soft top, why bother?
The B58 turbocharged inline-6 sounds great anyway, so if you pair it with a top that drops, all the better. Sure, it's expensive, but to us there's no contest between this machine and the four-cylinder 430i. You gotta get the six, especially for 2025, which brings a 3-mpg boost in fuel economy and a bunch more torque besides.
We have to wonder what the use case is for a 386-horsepower soft-top convertible with all-wheel drive, but hey, maybe you just want to get to 60 mph four-tenths quicker than you would with rear-wheel drive. We can respect that.
