Pros: You’ll get the latest in BMW’s design and engineering, and you’ll be able to drop the top any time you desire.
Cons: The retractable hardtop, while practical in all weather, eats up a good chunk of the trunk when stored; and the vehicle’s entire rigidity is compromised if you ever wish to track your 4 Series Cabriolet.

And in the 435i you’ll find a potent TwinPower turbocharged 3.0L inline 6-cylinder mill that pushes out an even 300 horses and torques. As mentioned above, power can be sent to the rear wheels or to all 4, depending on model choice. Transmission choices reside in an 8-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual.
Changes and Improvements: The entire 4 Series lineup is new, so everything about this vehicle is changed and improved. You will be driving the latest and greatest from the Bavarian giants.
