BMW Is Finally Planning an Electric Convertible: Report
The BMW i4 convertible would mark the brand's first fully electric open-top model.
BMW is developing an electric convertible based on the i4 sedan, according to a report from InsideEVs.
What Happened
The report indicates BMW is planning to add a convertible variant to its i4 lineup, which would be the brand's first fully electric open-top model. The plan represents a notable expansion of BMW's electric portfolio into the convertible segment. Details about potential specifications, pricing, or timeline were not specified in the source.
Why It Matters
The addition of an electric convertible gives BMW a differentiator in the growing EV market as competitors like Mercedes-Benz and Audi have yet to offer fully electric convertibles. For buyers seeking an open-top driving experience without combustion engine emissions, options remain extremely limited across the industry.
The Bottom Line
BMW's reported plan for an electric i4 convertible would address a gap in the brand's electric lineup and the broader EV market. No official confirmation or timeline has been provided by BMW as of this report.
