Tell me what you think and what you want to know about the BMW 428i...

Patrick_y invites all PuristSPro users to ask your questions about the BMW 4-series convertible.







The BMW 428i is the latest and greatest BMW convertible.  A 2+2 convertible seating four, with 240 horsepower, 260 lb/ft of torque, and a fantastic 8-speed gearbox.  

What do you want to know about it?  And what about it excites you?  




Look at that face.  It's a great looking car in person.  Admittedly, after driving for some time with the top down, I realized I don't like the draft nor the sound.  But the look is awesome...




The brown interior is tasteful and elegant.




This car is equipped with the "luxury package" and you just want to take it to some place where there's water.  Where would you like to be?  Newport Beach/Los Angeles?  Atlantic City, New Jersey?  Miami?  South of France?  Goa?  Dubai?  Australia?  




The interior is just a welcoming place.  Definitely a place you'd want to be.  




A powerful engine that is very smooth and very fuel efficient is connected to a buttery 8-speed automatic gearbox that shifts extremely quickly.  



Would having a convertible make your life better?  Tell me what you think?

.. I suppose it is the turbocharged two litre 240 hp engine ? Can you really feel the torque low down at around 1300 rpm ? And ... does it rev easily till the redline or does the character of that engine make you change gears pretty early (when in manual ... 

Good questions.

Yes! It is the 2.0 liter I4 engine with 240 hp. The engine does have some torque and is actually quite fast in certain situations. There is no turbo lag, and the torque is fairly consistent (no surges in torque across the RPM range). Overall, it's a good ... 

I like it a lot more with the top down. I have alway been a BMW fan.

Wanted my wife to get one but she decided on something a little wilder. JerryW

Wilder?

Is it prancing horse wild or raging bull wild? Or perhaps snake and cross? What animal represents the wildness? Maybe it's mermaid with a trident wild?

I love a lot the body of the coupé. Now, I have to see the convertible in the flesh.

It is not always that a convertible is as nice as a coupé. I have to check that. But for a bit than one year, nown I taste the joys of a convertible. That is really something! Best, Patrick. Nicolas
