Wrap it then

I don't like the idea of wrapping.
I want the roof mostly because I like it's shape

 

[klier]

Well no carbon wrap at least. That is uber ricer.

This is nothing but fantastic. I looks superb.

It´s s pitty the car does not debut during spring, which seems to be its natural timing. Seats look perfect, it´s nice to see BMW are copying some nice MB features, nothing to say about it.

BTW, poor white 4er, the Elegance trim looks so dull on this car. Can´t see any one going for it after seeing the M version.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Beautiful car.

I can answer that one for you if you want: no, the cost will outweigh the result completely.
You can make one yourself though, and replace the metal/alu parts

Seriously though, the weight savings won't come from a CF roof instead of a steel one. The cabrio is heavier because of added structural strength (the car is completely pillarless).

BTW, guys, BMW has stolen yet another MB invention (after M4 seat-gate): air scarf (or whatever BMW will call it) will be available as an option. Funny stuff:

Air whisper?
I think it suits:

WOW! Looks fantastic! Much better resolved/integrated roof, yet IMHO not 100% perfect at the back (where roof meets boot), nevertheless a fine job.

@klier "Airscarf"...I really wonder what BMW is going to call it!?

Splendid interior, but I am not convinced with those brown colours in general. I'd prefer something more timeless like black or silver, or go BMW Blue.

G23 BMW 4 Series Convertible: Soft top will replace the hardtop

The era of metal folding roofs at BMW might be coming to an end. According to a source close to our sister-magazine Bimmertoday, not only the jointly developed with Toyota BMW Z4 successor will use a soft top, but also the next generation G23 4 Series Convertible. The source says a decision has already been made.

In early, 2007, the BMW E93 3 Series Convertible switched to a three-piece folding metal roof and it was followed by the Z4 E89 roadster as the first BMW roadster with a steel roof. Then in March 2014, BMW followed through with the 3 Series Convertible successor, the F33 4er cabriolet which also features the hardtop.

The next generation 4 Series convertible will launch in 2021, so we don’t expect to see test mules on the road for another 4 years.

We’re unable to speculate what has led to the change and what BMW reasons are for making the switch, but a couple ideas come to mind. One, the metal folding roofs take a lot of space in the trunk, and two, BMW might be looking to shave some weight of the next generation 4 Series and this is a good place to start.
