    "The BMW 4 Series convertible is nearly as practical as the coupe on which it is based, yet provides the bonus of wind-in-the-hair thrills."

    The annoying thing about these reviews is that they criticise things that are actually good. The best thing about this compared to the equivalent Merc or Audi is the hard top roof. Why would anyone prefer a soft top roof?! I bought this car because it’s a saloon when when you want it to be and it transforms into a fun convertible. I hate soft top roofs and would prefer to buy a normal saloon over them as it’s horrible when the weather is wet and cold and they’re noisy and uncomfortable when the roof is up.

      He never said it’s bad. He even said at the start how it looks better. He just asked at h to r end if it would be better with a traditional roof because of the boot space (also it was a perfect Segway to his related videos)

    • @user-og8zx2fe4n
      @user-og8zx2fe4n Год назад +2

      Hard top means no boot space plus extra weight, plus extra money in an accident, soft top is better

    "Yeah but this has a folding metal roof" is my response to every criticism of this car.

  • @jamviator
    @jamviator 10 лет назад +201

    Am I the only one who hates how cloth-top convertibles look? I don't want a car partly made of cloth, I'm sorry.
    I love the BMW hard-tops because to the untrained eye you cannot tell it's a convertible til the top comes down.

    • @jamviator
      @jamviator 9 лет назад +5

      ***** Well I haven't seen the 4 series convertible in person but the e92 3 series convertible looked quite nice with the top up and again the untrained eye wouldn't know its a convertible.
      In any case i wouldn't want a convertible because it looks weird with the roof up whether it's cloth or metal, but if i had to choose, i'd never choose cloth. It just looks out of place like it's half car, half tent.

    • @Aarontlondon
      @Aarontlondon 6 лет назад +5

      Exactly my point, and I’m sure everyone who bought this car over the equivalent Audi and Merc bought it because of the hard top roof. It’s the ultimate feature of this car so I don’t don’t why he’s moaning about it.

    • @fredfredburger5150
      @fredfredburger5150 4 года назад +2

      I agree. Once folding metal roof convertibles came out it made all other convertible look so dated.

  • @AgentMrX7
    @AgentMrX7 9 лет назад +84

    I'm so sick of reviewers criticising convertibles because there isn't much head room in the back, bad boot space and the car weighing more. It's a frigging convertible!!! It's always going to have those drawbacks over a regular car.

    • @netweed09
      @netweed09 6 лет назад +2

      the 4 series one isn't 'terrible' though

    • @janetsbrick
      @janetsbrick 6 лет назад

      I don't know if many convertibles have really been that fun for the rear seat passengers at any kind of serious speed with the top down. Most seem to include rear seats for when someone simply must be transported, and they'll have to put up with the inconvenience.
      My take on usable 4 seat convertibles: Merc E class (2011-), Audi A4/S4/A5/S5, the departed Volvo C70, and the BMW 4-series actually isn't that bad compared to most. Oh, and the Murano/Evoque SUV convertibles, if that's what you're into I won't judge.

    • @hwangeruk
      @hwangeruk 10 лет назад +2

      Went passed this blue colour non convertible 4 series today. Nice side lines, boring front - HIDEOUS rear end. What were they thinking. Audi has shown everyone the way on sharp looking tail lights. Why do BMW insist on this horrible rounded redesign. Horrible. The concept 4 series looked stunning, but it was ruined in the wind tunnel.

    Liking the roof, folding metal is the way to go as far as I'm concerned. At least, in the segment the 4 competes in.
    I heard BMW were expecting three quarters of the 4 series sold will be the 420d, can you verify that at all?

    • @carbuyer
      @carbuyer  10 лет назад

      We can't confirm that but we certainly wouldn't be surprised! It's a great engine and it makes the 4 Series very cheap to run.

    Is the speaker's sound quality (in the cabin) as good despite the fact that it isn't such a closed space, because it has a removable roof? I mean, does the sound "leak" out the car because of the cabin's materials employed for the convertible factor? Pretty sexy car, though.

    BMW has way to much cabrio cars. I mean, how many people want to spend all that mony on an impractical car that onloy has use on the 10 days a year when it is hot and sunny.
    also, I don't understand why they not make the sat nav as standard, as the screen and the i-drive is already there. I guess an easy way to rip people of?
    And finally a bit of a betrayel to make that M logo now stand form some wolfclothes accessary, while without the 3 liter straight 6, this car really is a sheep.
    Other than that this car does have strong points: interior is nice, the metallic roof is a must in this class and the car does look good.
    Just a shame BMW has become such a lifestyle brand. Now they are so common, I'm afraid they are getting this close to being boring.
