- This is the new 2021 BMW M4 Competition Convertible, the final version of the new BMW M3 Competition & M4 Competition model line up to be released. It is arguably the most desirable model in the line up but also one of the most interesting because for the first time the M3 & M4 are available with BMW M xDrive, and the Convertible is only available with M xDrive! The convertible M4 uses the same 510hp power plant as its hard top siblings but thanks to the all-wheel drive system the 0-62mph sprint is dealt with in just 3.7 seconds! That is supercar performance.
But has the addition of all-wheel drive an inevitably nearly 200kg to the BMW M4 Competition Convertible ruined one of the best performance cars out there? We sent Matt to find out.

Matt. We've all been waiting for this, the ultimate Convertible. M4 X Drive. As you say, the Lottery winning ticket first spend. So capable, so well designed and constructed. Excellent " real" review. And superbly filmed against a moody English landscape in typical UK weather. Thank You! One to share! Stay safe.
Hi Keith,
It was brilliant! So capable in all conditions 👍🏼
Only thing I dnt like is the fabric roof
You picked the same Spec i did! Isle of Man convertible, X-Drive and Silverstone interior! Carbon everything🔥
Great video as always, Matt! Love your passion and energetic delivery. Have there been difficulties for people getting their M3/M4 allocations and deliveries in the UK? My M3 Comp xDrive production was bumped to October now due to reduced dealership build allocations in Canada.
Thank you Steven, really appreciate your comment 😁
I’m not too sure on M3/M4 but most cars are delayed at the minute.
Can the rear seat fold forward to enable large objects to fit in the boot, like on the C63 Cabrio ?
Good review and thank you for not abusing the car during “running in” period.The next owners will thank you too.
I read a few owners of the Xdrive saying that the exhaust sounds a little bit more fruity than the RWD version. Nobody knows why, but several have mentioned it. Perhaps the car has a different map in the lower gears, unlike the torque limited RWD in its first coupe of gears??
Don’t get me wrong but have had BMW cabriolet fabric roofs in the past and they are awful. Am sure they sorted out the leaks after a number of years driving but the cleaning of bird poo or other stains is a nightmare, I would take the extra weight. 😳 Yes I like the interior and exterior carbon edition plus the 4 wheel drive which is know available.
Front grill is why I wouldn't by another one. Will stick with my 2016 M4 Convert Hard Top.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, awesome video , thanks for sharing it…
Hope you get your dream car soon!
Whats the price of this specific setup?
Would be better if its a hard top convertible. Imo
Hi! Nice review! In 4wd sport can you let the rear end loose a little at reasonable speeds or do you need to be driving like a madman to get it to slide a little? Thanks
You can very easily step the rear out at low speeds, you can switch the car to RWD only but you have to have the DSC turned completely off.
@@SytnerTV THanks for the answer! What about 4wd sport? Did you try this mode out?
@@emixmim I did indeed and the car does give you a little bit of slip at the rear at low speeds but does quite quickly bring everything back into shape.
Hey bro, I'm curious about this awd system in the event of a top speed run. Awd always robs top end performance. Any way we could get a top speed run performance test?
I'd love to, however in the UK it is near on impossible.
@@SytnerTV well cool video anyway. Car looks very good to me but that awd has me unwilling to say yes over a drop top rear wheel drive. F83 zcp. We always race illegally in the US on the interstate when the traffic is thin. Screw the cops. Appreciate the awesome review. Keep them coming
Amazing car, time to do the lottery!!! Great video, thanks
Thank you 😁
I feel the ssme way the convertible would be my choice if i could afford it, by the way what color are we looking at🤔
The colour of this one is Black Sapphire 😁
thanks for great review
is it possible to remove the headrests on the back seats?
No they are fixed in place and can't be removed unfortunately.
This isnt correct. The rear headrests are removable (owner here, and I've had them out.) You pop off the lower plastic covers, press a button, and they can come out)
@@aktif8 wow thanks for the info, it did seem like the headrests could be removed coz it didnt look like they were connected to the seat.
i just thought it would be better looking without the headrests while the top was opened :)
@@Lamington__ same here - except I often have a passenger in the back. Presently investigating if there are any other (smaller) bmw headrests that will fit in place of these goofy ones. One thing you can do is set them down about an inch lower (by popping off the plastic caps, pushing the button, and lowering them flush with the backrest.) It looks slightly better :)
This combination looks good , what is the exterior color - dovitt Grey or metallic black ?
This one is finished in Black Sapphire.
Thx for the clarification , compared to my previous e46 m3 , the new m3/m4 are beasts and loads of torque you can feel. The m4 cab will probably more fun than 911s cabriolet /Boxster Gts cab
What is the top speed M4 Competition convertible X Drive , is it 250 km/h or 297 km/h ?.
It is 250km/h.
Why it is 250 kmh not the same as normal m4 competition goes 297 kmh .? 🌹
🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻 awesome car…
I like this car a lot, however I would like to see the room in the back. Is it a bench 2 seater?
It is indeed a bench 2 seater in the back.
@@SytnerTV Thankyou
What is the point of having cabriolet in UK??
Because when you can get the roof down it’s brilliant!
“The final derivative…” - Na, estate coming next year.
Alpina b3 estate 🚘
Hard top better
Would have been so nice if it was available with rwd and a manual.
Agreed.
Red and manual maybe belong in a coupe but not a convertible.
Covertibles are the weekend cars to be driven on nice, lazy dry days, in serene comfort, taking in beautiful scenery, fresh air and wafting along without a care in the world!😘
@@666DW i understand if some people like to drive convertibles with automatics but i personally disagree. And since BMW is supposed to be the ”ultimate driving machine” i think that it should atleast be offered.
@@Shabbe02 the reason it’s not offered is a commercial one. Quite simply they would not sell enough to justify marketing, design and engineering costs for a manual M4.
Research confirms more autos are being sold than manuals, and when everything on 4 wheels becomes electrified there will be only autos!🤷🏻♂️
@@666DW in this case the coupe already offers a manual so R/D would not be that much different, and again a premium brand like BMW should offer Both transmissions even if the manual would not be that popular.
I thought you could switch off the x drive on these cars?
You can, when you turn ESC off you can switch it to RWD.
Why it's not a hard top anymore?
It is to save on weight, the hard top was heavy and compromised the performance and handling.
"the final version of the new BMW M3 Competition line up to be released" errm no, that'll be the M3 Touring due out next year!! Also there's a M3 CS (and most likely a M4 version) which is due to go into production next year (2022) in time for the 50th anniversary of M GmBH celebrations - along with an as yet unknown model which has been testing in an 8-series mule at the Nordschleife seen with red accents around the deep inside edge of its modfied kidney grills.
Well spotted, it is the final version to be released this year but you are correct the Touring is definitely coming next year! Can’t wait to drive one of those.
This video sounds like an advert for a BMW franchise was that the target..? Because you definitely achieved it.. very contrived 😳
Not at all! Just my honest opinion of the car 👍🏼
i dont know why but i want see a rally build of m4xdrive
Now that would be a sight to behold!
That really hurt to see that top get folded away wet!
It hurt us too, it went straight back up once we filmed what we needed. :)
BMWs interiors are fantastic, with xdrive far more driveable more of the time but the exterior styling still leaves me cold.
Ill bet that when this car gets facelifted or ultimately replaced people will say the exterior styling put them off.
Was the elephant out visiting friends?

“It feels as fast as the m4”……..uhhhh it is an m4
Watching that soaking wet top get stowed like that made me cringe. Clearly this isn't a car owned by the person that just did that!
Dude talk less and show more
