BMW Has Announced The Mighty Fine M4 Convertible 30 Jahre Edition

To celebrate 30 years since the E30 M3 Convertible first emerged, BMW has styled an honorary successor with special colours and limited-edition numbering
BMW Has Announced The Mighty Fine M4 Convertible 30 Jahre Edition

This is the BMW M4 Convertible 30 Jahre Edition. Take a good look while you can, because not many are going to be built.

Just 30 will make it to the UK (unlike this Japan-only duo), out of a total build schedule of 300. It’s not quite the standalone hero you might have been hoping for, but it’s no pushover. It’s based on the M4 with the Competition Package: the uprated 444bhp turbocharged six-shooter comes with the M Division exhaust and suspension as standard.

That means performance figures comprising a limited 155mph top speed, a 0-62mph sprint in 4.3 seconds and a thoroughly unlikely average fuel economy of 32.5mpg. It might be something of a last hurrah if emissions legislations continue killing fun BMWs…

Just two colours are offered in Britain. There’s the sensible and UK-exclusive Frozen Dark Grey Metallic, good for flying below the radar, and the rather lovely Macao Blue Metallic if you’d like your £76,675 drop-top to give an extra nod to the 30-year-old E30 M3 it celebrates. The yellow in the pictures (Mandarin II) is also lovely, but BMW UK has confirmed that it’s for other markets.

Pretty much all of the special edition’s upgrades are cosmetic. The leather trim comes in a pre-selected colour to complement whatever exterior shade you choose: for the UK it’s principally black, with either Fjord Blue or Silverstone accents.

You get contrast stitching, floor mats with the correct colour piping, carbonfibre interior trim and, of course, the exact production number of each car on the passenger side of the dashboard. The door sills and headrests bear the ‘30 Jahre Edition’ logo.

Matt-finish Orbit Grey 20-inch wheels are pure metal sexiness. The shadowy design theme continues with dark grey kidney grille surround trim, side ‘gills’ and model badge.

It goes on sale in BMW’s biggest global markets this month, with Germany and the US two of the other main locations.

Buyers: why does it cost so much?
BMW: because it’s limited edition.
Buyers: why is it limited edition?
BMW: because we limited it.
Buyers: why’d you do that?
BMW: to make it cost more.

I remember when special editions were a big deal. Now they’re just marketing ploys.

M4 Convertible? NOBODY wants these things! The weight penalty is just too huge. I have never seen an M4 Convertible or even an E93 M3 Convertible. Weirdly more than 50% of E46 M3s I see are convertibles though.

Never seen an M4 vert though. guess they bought F-types instead
