BMW Serie 4 Cabrio

The outwardly sleek and stylish BMW 4 Series Convertible is a weighty beast thanks to the engineering solutions needed to stiffen up its topless body.

The petrol line-up kicks off with the 2.0-litre 420i with 182bhp, which is enough to see 0-62mph in as little as 8.2 seconds and a top speed of 143mph. The higher-powered 2.0-litre 428i makes 242bhp and can do 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds, while the 430i version knocks another tenth of the acceleration time. The 440i – available only in M Sport trim – takes the 4 Series into the realms of serious performance, with 0-62mph arriving in 5.4 seconds.

Go for a diesel and the entry level 420d has 188bhp, and beats the 420i to 62mph by a tenth of a second.
