First shown at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the hefty R1 194 541 price tag of the six-speed manual M4 Convertible comes with a premium feature – a retractable hard top that can be lowered in 20 seconds at speeds up to 18kph. The seven-speed M-DCT model is priced at R1242015, which is higher than both the M3 Sedan and the M4 Coupe.

Another notable feature of the convertible has to be its 3.0-litre TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine that delivers 317 kW and 550 Nm of torque. This allows the car to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 250 kph, when equipped with the optional seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission.
