@@ThatKevinErnst an exciting time for you, anticipating its arrival. I got mine in Dravit Grey with the Yas Blue seats with yellow detailing. It was an amazing car. The M models just get better and better and I’ve had an M3, three M5s and two M4 comp convertibles.
I've had a '24 G83 since September. It's a little bit difficult to explain the experience of owning/driving it. There isn't much it won't do, so you have to be very careful what you ask of it. There isn't anywhere on a public road you can wring one out. This isn't my first convertible, but it's the fastest one I've ever had. The first half of the throttle will make you giggle; the second half will strengthen your relationship with God.
@@jonathanshores yes, the performance is shattering, even after M5s. I adore the G83 and it’s so competent at everything it does. The grip in particular is staggering.
I'm a fellow convertible convert, nothing better on a warm summers eve or a sunny crisp winters day. The V8 F Type was something else with the roof down, pound for pound the Boxster platform is hard to beat!!
Yes, that's where I am now own F type V8S convertible. However considering the M4 Comp xdrive Convertible, but sorely concerned that I would miss the brute that is the Jag.
We loved our old saab 9-3 convertible, roof down and heater up on a crisp day was nice. We are getting too old to get out of a low car now days,but a fast ,well handling rag top seems a great (price aside) combo. Does it let you lower the roof while it's on the drive,using the key?
I love the vert! I’m ordering one in the spring, likely in Tanzanite with Fiona red interior, so the arrival coincides with giving back a leased 530e. Thanks for a thoughtful review.
Great vid again Pedro, It certainly put a smile on your face that an ev won't. Car seems a joy to drive as for the looks the interior is a massive improvement over BMW's of the past, I still can't take to the fugly grill, the rest of the styling is bang on .
Fantastic car. With two grown up ‘kids’, sadly I don’t think those back seats would even work for short journeys. The M3 would get my money - if I had a spare £80k+ that is!. Keep up the great content Ped
Stunning 👍 Good morning PP, great review. What a fantastic car, have to admit that I am a bit of a BMW fan though, I absolutely love driving my 4 series and I am just about to head off to North Wales 👍👍👍 ........Happy days Hope you enjoy your weekend
Just love BMW's, love my 330 M Sport but if I was in this market I'd definitely go for an M3 or M4 Competition. Love 'em both... Brilliant video.. Cheers
Great review. I’ve just chopped in my 840i convertible for an M440i convertible. Always love a convertible and I actually prefer the confidence that XDrive gives you and the car feels so much more agile and pointy than the 8 series. For me the M440i provides all the performance I’ll ever need for substantially less cost than the M4, but generally I think BMW have absolutely nailed the 4 series.
Yeah, I went for the M440i Convertible over the M4 for pretty much the same reasons as you. Also I want it to be a long distance European GT and the extra mpg range is important for that.
Yes the M440i looks like an excellent compromise. Do Dinan do packages for the M440i. I had a Dinan stage 2 on my 135M Sport track car , and on my X5-50M. Made significant performance improvements to both.
Morning my friend. BMW have the interior nailed with that colour I think. Xdrive and Quattro are impressive, although I don’t fully know the difference, I must watch a video explaining lol to be honest.
Well Sir Pete a great video this was!!! Honestly I’m not a convertible fan. I can appreciate them and there appeal for sure. After this review I think I may have fallen for my first convertible. Great look great quality great sound and definitely a head turner in that blue color. The only thing in my way is wow that a lot of money for one. So I’ll stick to my 95 z28 camaro with t tops lol
That! Is how to start a video.....👍🏾 I love and share your passion for soft top motoring. No rain = roof down. Why not M2 convertible?? It is an amazing car + I would choose the air neck Scarf..
Wow what a car but I could not think of having a car like this the price is too much for me but I do not like the new nose on it but thanks again for another brilliant video 👍🏻👍🏻
Z4 hardtop goes on Oct/Nov depending on weather. If we get a dry, cold, sunny spell its off. Seat heat on, beanie & 😎 on ☺. Can't beat a drive on New Year's Day like that, also makes driving through Blackpool Lights a sights, sounds and,, er,, smells event not to forget...
Love the colour combo, love the drivetrain, love the convertible, but absolutely hate the front end styling, I think BMW have lost the plot here. Had a few Beemers in my time and done serious miles in them, too low for me now unfortunately, and the price is very tasty! Good review as ever Ped. 👍😎
Brilliant review of a vehicle that is not my taste, l love old school BMW with NA six pot cylinders, this is truly a fantastic contemporary car with far too much seats for my liking. Cayman GT is very desirable as a sucker for chasing the revs and the purity of NA. Good content and thanks for providing regular entertainment for your followers.
Ahhhh....and you can get that twin turbo inline 6 engine with a manual transmission. (Love those wheels, BMW is really getting better with the wheels....need work with the grills) Great video.
Great Review…Covertibles have certainly come a long since the days of compromised dynamics and heavier bodies to in an effort to compensate for the missing roof and you clearly enjoyed this one…especially given it’s all weather tractability…but..in the end…I would still take the keys for the all wheel drive M3 Competition..I just feel it’s the better package all round…but then again..that also subjective…which would therefore mean that I am simply biased🤣🤣…Ah well..to each there own😅👌🏽
It’s a nice car. Problem is it’s not worth double what we paid for an F83 this Feb with only 300 miles on (actually through your friends at Hendy). It’s a better car no doubt but not £45k better. Time was when you waited a bit and your M car would be available with 20ish percent off (as with most BMW’s although my 7 was £40k off list!). That would then make it affordable as depreciation pretty savage. Obviously, currently BMW not doing any discounts but settlement values haven’t reflected market shift. I would suspect a lot of potential repeat M owners are waiting to see what happens. Fine to pay higher prices but BMW need to grow a set and put higher final residuals if they are wanting to shift the market to no discount but higher residuals. Until they do, only mad people will pay full price. PS Interesting to hear your comments on its relative stiffness. F83 is very disappointing on that front - was biggest disappointment. But hell, wife’s happy!
Great video Pete. When I used to have my MG Midget, some 35 years ago, it didn't matter what time of year it was, if it wasn't raining or snowing, I'd have the roof down.

Wasn't it the old axiom that the only convertibles you should buy, were ones that were designed as convertibles? Not ones made convertible by removing a fixed roof. 8-\\...
Very nice car, must be nice. If I had the money I would love a covert-able, had a Gazelle that was on a 69 bug IRS chase that I built. Quite fun but that would be a blast.
Blue seems to be a real good color for this car. But comments: who would spend $90,000 and put dogs in the back? Launch control times are meaningless imho, not something you can utilize outside the drag strip. Flooring the throttle at a stop light is what is really meaningful. Which brings me to turbo lag, no mention of that but it is a really important subjective and objective finding. I am a previous BMW owner 4.4TT V8, but keep considering trading my current Jaguar V8S convertible for the M4 xdrive Convertible. Maybe to get the extra space. But the Jag, being supercharged is such a beast, sounds like a beast, and a great drive here in Florida in the winters. What to do, what to do.
£80K plus I’d hope it would be good. That aside I’d certainly do the North Coast 500 in the Summer under blue sky in it. Perfect mix of performance and able to feel connected to the Landscape. You’d have to be pushing it round a track to probably feel any difference Coupe and Conv. I’d take the Conv every time. Who hasn’t watched the like putting down the roof on a summers day at lights and think flash ……. but wanted to be them in the Car😁
You didn't mention how comfortable the ride is in comfort mode. Other reviewers said it was rather jarring on imperfect roads. I'm going to drive one this Friday to see for myself
Hi Ped Rag Top every time😎😎Good looker and very attractive interior, which should keep passengers happy whilst you enjoy the performance side.😉 Call me cynical but do you remember when Audi introduced Quattro to the punters, and BMW and their owners stated that it could not compete with the RWD experience of a BMW!😂 How times have changed.🤭
I much prefer the look of the new soft top version compared to the old hard top convertible (that was pretty ugly) and would love one myself if funds would allow me however I don’t think I could own a soft top personally as I just have this anxiety of someone vandalising it (sad but true). Something like an MX5 RF would be more realistic for me ☺️
Great video PP Think you can get your hands on an Alpina B5 touring That’s supposed to be a comfortable beast That’s on my wishlist I’ve only saw one review and it’s by shmeg150 🤭
I can see your lusting after this car, Pedro. Is your channel big enough to access the BMW special ‘influencer’ finance deals? I’ve heard some are getting AMG A45s for £300 per month with no deposit!
It would be M3 Comp X-drive for my choice. just a bit more practical and a bigger boot. When the M3 Touring X-Drive is launched that would be an ideal car, best of every world I would think.
I'd definitely go for the convertible - but the M440i rather than the M4. I do prefer the front end on the M4, but that performance is just bonkers 😆 M440i is plenty quick enough and cheaper!!
Love an M BMW and this would tempt me but truthfully it's just way out of my price range. Dream car unfortunately. I'd probably go for the coupe though as the weather here is shocking most of the time!!!!!
I think what the car can do is amazing and I loved the review as always, but let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The grille, I’m sorry but for me it’s absolutely hideous. BMW M cars used to be handsome and now it’s as though they’ve designed it hungover. Maybe I’m just getting old lol
Great review. If you take the roof off a car you will ruin the dynamics. This car is designed from the start to be a convertible, so it will be similar to the coupe.
The reason you Brits buy more convertibles than any other country is because for the one day a year that the sun might poke its head out of the clouds for 5 mins, you folks don't want to miss it and then spend the rest of the year being shamed by your relatives for having missed it. I'll let myself out now.
I’m sure it drives well, however, this type of car is all about style & the styling lets it down. It could be so much better. We have a Autovogue 428i convertible & in my eyes the styling of this M4 is not as good.
Great video Pete thanks. I'm glad they still make RWD cars, because Xdrive ruins the whole experience for me. You might as well buy an Audi, or any one of the other AWD super-performance cars. The whole point of a BMW performance model for me, is because it's different, and a large majority of that difference is because it's RWD, But each to their own, and if Xdrive takes sales away from Audi then BMW marketing department are obviously making the company more profit. It's still ugly to my eyes, I wonder if they will do a 'westbrook special edition' !
Sitting in pitch black watching this. Power off all over Aberdeenshire due to extremely windy night. Glad I don't have an EV 🙂 Not an ideal night for a convertible.
See that converted farm house, yeah that one a few miles away you can see with the lights on and not running a generator and didn’t even notice there was a power cut as the lights never even flickered - They are quite happy with the EV and power wall that could keep the house going for a week 😂👍without the grid.
Hmm…Peter, I was able to buy four new BMW’s between 1985 until 1994 and so I am aware of how they drive back then and since have enjoyed many others owned by my friend including his new M5C. However…I just cannot like this one..that dreadful front, that terrible sub gloss paint looks like a cheap body wrap, the dated body design…of course it drives well..But I would never want one and at £81,000…more like £95,000, it is a crazy price. It is a good car for somebody else! 😬😬😬😬 (I’m sorry..)…and good work if you like it..a replacement for Ruby..12 months old and £49,995 would be good!! 😃
I own one and it’s utterly fantastic. I’ve been driving M5s for a long time and only got it because it’s a convertible but it is absolutely amazing.
I ordered one a few weeks back. Just went into production.
@@ThatKevinErnst an exciting time for you, anticipating its arrival. I got mine in Dravit Grey with the Yas Blue seats with yellow detailing. It was an amazing car. The M models just get better and better and I’ve had an M3, three M5s and two M4 comp convertibles.

Yep 👍
Evening all! Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
Hi Pete, looking forward to this one 👍👍
What a stunning car! And what acceleration onto the motorway!
We loved our old saab 9-3 convertible, roof down and heater up on a crisp day was nice.
We are getting too old to get out of a low car now days,but a fast ,well handling rag top seems a great (price aside) combo.
Does it let you lower the roof while it's on the drive,using the key?
I had a new 9-3 in 1996 it was a well appointed car, and stylish to look at. It drove like a barge because if the cavalier underpinnings.
Hi yes it does as long as you option the Comfort access/ keyless entry ... If not it doesn't
Nice car ped!
I love the vert! I’m ordering one in the spring, likely in Tanzanite with Fiona red interior, so the arrival coincides with giving back a leased 530e. Thanks for a thoughtful review.
is it possible to remove the headrests on the back seat?
Not sure but I’m pretty sure they are part of the role over protection 👍
Great vid again Pedro, It certainly put a smile on your face that an ev won't. Car seems a joy to drive as for the looks the interior is a massive improvement over BMW's of the past, I still can't take to the fugly grill, the rest of the styling is bang on .
Great review. Would you have this or the m8 conv?
Love that car and the grill is spot on!
Evening! Lovely car. Had the previous gen and it was 👍
Epic video Pete mate
Thanks 🙏🏻
Fantastic car. With two grown up ‘kids’, sadly I don’t think those back seats would even work for short journeys. The M3 would get my money - if I had a spare £80k+ that is!. Keep up the great content Ped

Cheers Dan 👍
Yet another great video cars mint
Cheers Matt 👍
I’m tossing up between an m4 convertible and 981 boxster, I think this may just be a better option as a daily
still not sold on black wheels guess im old school but a beautiful machine none the less
I think an M3 Comp xDrive will replace my M340i xDrive, if only to ensure I get to have one whilst they’re still being produced.
You need to buy this car. Brilliant video thanks
I do indeed 😜

Managed to get £25,000 off list and car 6 months old with only 3,000 on clock. Puts it back in new 440i territory.
Thanks for another great review. It’s a toss-up between the M4 Comp and Audi S5. Have you done a review of the latter?
No but they are great cars. It would need to be an RS5 to match the M4 👍
Absolutely love that colour combination. 👍
Yes Ped. In ragtop form, it does look better than the coupé.
👍
Very nice and love the colour. If I had the money I’d be buying one!
Me too 😂
Convertible every time for me, however a base price of over £80,000 is far too much for me
Man what a car!!
Good evening mate 👍
I agree so much I bought one. LOL. And my teenagers love it. I did buy an aftermarket glass deflector for between the headrests
Nice 👌
2 things... well 3 actually I'd have it in the Green. Also, what flicked off of you at 7mins06sec lol and finally, what road is that? :) thanks
A leaf and it’s the road between Wantage and Hungerford 👍
M3 touring when it arrives, where is the stretch of road
It runs from Wantage to Hungerford 👍
I revisited your review as I’m considering changing my M2 for an M4 and the convertible looks a balance between open top fun and performance…..
Morning my friend. BMW have the interior nailed with that colour I think. Xdrive and Quattro are impressive, although I don’t fully know the difference, I must watch a video explaining lol to be honest.
Great review and went off to do a test drive straight after. Totally agree with your assessment so bought one and take delivery in a few weeks 👍
Awesome to hear 👍

Convertible all the way. That's why I'm watching this video!!😁😁😁😁😁
Right on!
We have a MINI Cabriolet and you just can’t beat open top motoring, add 4wd and that BMW has to be close to perfection
Wow what a car but I could not think of having a car like this the price is too much for me but I do not like the new nose on it but thanks again for another brilliant video 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like the BMW man's 911 cab. Convertible all day long here.
Brilliant review and video! 👌
Z4 hardtop goes on Oct/Nov depending on weather. If we get a dry, cold, sunny spell its off. Seat heat on, beanie & 😎 on ☺. Can't beat a drive on New Year's Day like that, also makes driving through Blackpool Lights a sights, sounds and,, er,, smells event not to forget...

Rag top every day Pete for me wish I could afford one that's just amazing mate.
Deffo the rag for me, love it, if I had a spare £80000 I’d have one now 👍
The Coupe every time for me 🙂

Very nice car, must be nice. If I had the money I would love a covert-able, had a Gazelle that was on a 69 bug IRS chase that I built. Quite fun but that would be a blast.
Wold an Isetta be perfect for a singletons lifestyle....?

Z4 m40 is almost as fast and 1000 pounds lighter. Z4 is must underrated car on the road. As was 35is. Two seats is a plus
Great video PP
Think you can get your hands on an Alpina B5 touring
That’s supposed to be a comfortable beast
That’s on my wishlist I’ve only saw one review and it’s by shmeg150 🤭
I’d love to 👍
If only you could find a superlative to describe the car Ped! How about sensational?
Good idea 👍
I can see your lusting after this car, Pedro. Is your channel big enough to access the BMW special ‘influencer’ finance deals? I’ve heard some are getting AMG A45s for £300 per month with no deposit!

Really smart car, not a fan of rag tops but that is a particularly appealing proposition if only I had a spare £90k.
I like a hard top
I know that road very well, unfortunately it is spoilt by the 50mph limit for most of the good stuff
Yeah…boo 😢
I know its a really really good car when you buy one , for now its just another good car :-)
Not for me I'm afraid. I'd wait for the M3 Touring or the ever cooler Alpina B3 Touring with a panoramic glass roof....
I think what the car can do is amazing and I loved the review as always, but let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The grille, I’m sorry but for me it’s absolutely hideous. BMW M cars used to be handsome and now it’s as though they’ve designed it hungover. Maybe I’m just getting old lol

Great video Pete thanks.
I'm glad they still make RWD cars, because Xdrive ruins the whole experience for me. You might as well buy an Audi, or any one of the other AWD super-performance cars.
The whole point of a BMW performance model for me, is because it's different, and a large majority of that difference is because it's RWD,
But each to their own, and if Xdrive takes sales away from Audi then BMW marketing department are obviously making the company more profit.
It's still ugly to my eyes, I wonder if they will do a 'westbrook special edition' !
Dude...you can still RWD mode with the Xdrive version..
@@Ivan-bg1jp Yes I know.
It's not the same as a pure RWD car though. All that extra weight, loss of steering feel, etc.
I might look like a bit of a twat doing a dump run with bags of leaves/garden waste etc. in that! Beautiful thing, Pete.
😂😂😂
Sitting in pitch black watching this. Power off all over Aberdeenshire due to extremely windy night. Glad I don't have an EV 🙂
Not an ideal night for a convertible.
See that converted farm house, yeah that one a few miles away you can see with the lights on and not running a generator and didn’t even notice there was a power cut as the lights never even flickered - They are quite happy with the EV and power wall that could keep the house going for a week 😂👍without the grid.
Oops 😬
Hmm…Peter, I was able to buy four new BMW’s between 1985 until 1994 and so I am aware of how they drive back then and since have enjoyed many others owned by my friend including his new M5C. However…I just cannot like this one..that dreadful front, that terrible sub gloss paint looks like a cheap body wrap, the dated body design…of course it drives well..But I would never want one and at £81,000…more like £95,000, it is a crazy price. It is a good car for somebody else! 😬😬😬😬 (I’m sorry..)…and good work if you like it..a replacement for Ruby..12 months old and £49,995 would be good!! 😃
For once, a modern car that sounds good but way out of my league!
Out of mine too 🥲
7min 4 secs in you're nearly killed by a leaf Pete. 😁
😂😂😂
Rag top every time!
Great Car 🚗
You don’t need electric, as it might be a red herring, hydrogen could take it.
You do need this 👍🏻
Might have over 500bhp but with the UK legal speed limit of 70mph its all rather wasted !!!!!!! Me, I prefer my MB convertible with its 260bhp!!
