Look past the controversially styled grille and you'll find that the 2023 4 Series convertible is actually pretty pleasant and engaging to drive. The 430i has plenty of thrust to scoot around, and the six-cylinder of the M440i is truly special. Unfortunately, the more powerful variant is saddled with a few additions that may make you question whether you really want to make the $10,000 plunge.

2021 BMW 4 Series M440i xDrive 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Beauty is an opinion... but for sure this is different. People complain about cars w/o personality... it has a lot, as exterior, interior, and the awesome powertrain. The M440i is fantastic to drive, ready, quick and efficient too.
---- After 1 year with the M440i, I confirm everything I said. Totally satisfied ---
M440i is a beast!

2021 BMW 4 Series M440i xDrive 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love the styling; and yes even the front grill. Handles great, very powerful smooth engine. Fit and finish is top notch. Always get stares from other drivers. The exhaust sound is aggressive and torque is smooth and pins you in your seat Test drove both the standard 430i and the M440i. No comparison. The M440i is in a class by itself.
Car of Dreams!

2021 BMW 4 Series 430i xDrive 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Wonderful sporty coupe with lots of electronics. I previously owed a 2017 2 convertible and it was great, but this is better! Excellent gas mileage, powerful engine; it is just a well made car all around.
The absolute most enjoyable and most reliable car

2021 BMW 4 Series 430i 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I bought my 2021 BMW 430i brand new. Was about $56,000 MSRP.
I have never enjoyed a car so much as this vehicle! The infotainment system is like nothing else, and I mean nothing else whatsoever! The handling, the ride, comfort, you name it... it's literally a perfect car!
After 34k miles, not one issue or complaint. If you are thinking about buying this model, just buy it! It comes … with the ZF Transmission... known as the best transmission ever produced for a vehicle. Reliable! Absolutely to the max! Ranks higher than a Toyota Camry for reliability!
Seriously, this is the perfect car! The grill, I love it!!! Get compliments all the time, it's such a perfect machine. Thank you BMW, you conpletely nailed it with this car!
