BMW 435i Convertible Gets Orange M Performance Kit, Akrapovic Pipes

If somebody came up to me today and asked "What would you buy, a C-Class or a 4 Series Convertible?", I would say "Neither." Taking the roof off a car compromises the driving experience. However, there's no denying a convertible like this one would get you all the attention from the girls.

BMW Abu Dhabi
has once again showcased what a modern dealership can do. Of course, they've had some help from one of the largest custom parts catalogs in the automotive industry. M Performance goodies have been sprinkled liberally all over the convertible, to the point where "bro, is that the M4" becomes an inevitable question.

No, it's not the M4, but it has a 3-liter engine. Because there's only one turbo attached to it, we'll call it the 435i. Pretty soon, this car will get the same engine as the M235i, and we'll get to call it the 440i, but that's another story. For now, "all" you get is 306 horsepower, 400 Nm of torque and a 0 to 100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds.

The most expensive single option on this 435i Convertible is the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system. It alone could add about ten horsepower by freeing up some back-pressure, but its primary role is to make the inline-6 sound better. Of course, carbon fiber tips can't hurt either.

BMW Abu Dhabi also installed the M Performance package. While it may seem similar to the M4 and M Sport, it actually has unique features. Carbon fiber inserts aren't for everybody, and neither are the orange accents. But we can't think of any petrolhead who wouldn't want to own this toy.

Matching the orange grille and hood stripes, the 435i proudly displays its Sakhir Orange interior. The M Performance steering wheel is wrapped in Alcantara and has a small carbon insert. Thus, about the only thing that's ordinary about this 4 Series is the color of the roof.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
