Even though they have a reputation of flamboyance and excess tire smoke, about 90% of the cars BMW makes are serious, black and sober. There are a distinct few though that are allowed to cut loose, are allowed to be the famous bold and beautiful.
The M cars are the brand ambassadors and today's car of focus is the M4 Convertible, the next generation of something with quite the reputable career. It's not in production yet, but we have a good idea what it's going to be like come Geneva when the debut will come.
The M4 will of course be powered by a new twin-turbo straight-six engine making 431 of peak power and 550 Nm in the torque department, sent to the back via six-speed manual or 7-speed DCT. In fact, if you matched the M4 coupe to the roof of a 435i convertible, you'd get this things. Boring, right?
Except those facts and numbers only concern the boring base model M4, which this prototype clearly isn't. Five-double-spoke wheels, gold brake calipers and sexy red paint make this M4 hugely appealing.
The colors of the F8x M3/M4 generation are already famous. Austin Yellow, Blue Yas Marina and Sakhir Orange all have their fair share of adoring fans, willing to spend thousands of additional dollars or euros. However, our M4 Convertible has something else, a custom frozen finish in a beautiful shade of dark red. This is something no M3 buyer can order right now and it's pretty special!
Of course, you can order frozen paint on a number of other BMWs right now, but this might be a completely new tone making its debut together with the M4. As the story of frozen paint goes, back in the 2000s, matte gold and silver jewelry begun to make an appearance, and BMW immediately started work on replicating this beautiful metallic finish in paint. Their multi-layer finish absorbs some of the light and reflects the rest differently, like morning dew or millions of tiny glass crystals playing with your retina. It looks like mist or a coat of ice that formed on the car, which is why it's named the way it is.
