To celebrate 30 years of the convertible high-performance BMW, the Munich-based manufacturer has released a special-edition M4 Convertible. It's officially called the BMW M4 Convertible Edition 30 Jahre and just 300 vehicles will be made.

Back in 1988, BMW dropped the top of the M3, opening up a new market for the enthusiast. Finally, performance fanatics had the opportunity to enjoy their cars in the open air. To celebrate 30 years of convertible high-performance motoring, BMW has created the M4 Convertible Edition 30 Jahre.

Only 300 units will be made and all will come with the M Competition Package. Packing a 331 kW/500 Nm punch, M Sport exhaust system, adaptive M suspension with Sport mode, and an active M differential. With the option of either Macao Blue metallic or Mandarin II uni as colour options, the BMW M4 Convertible Edition 30 Jahre looks unique. Interestingly, these colours are tributes to the original colours.

Inside, the BMW M4 Convertible Edition 30 Jahre has the choice of two-tone colour combinations Black/Fjord Blue and Black/Silverstone. The exclusive features also comprise corresponding contrast stitching on the headrests as well as M floor mats with piping in the respective contrasting colour. Black interior surfaces with yellow contrast stitching are offered in conjunction with Mandarin II uni, whilst interior trim strips in the version Carbon Fibre come as standard for all edition model variants. The vehicle also features Merino full leather trim."30 Jahre Edition" is imprinted both on the doorsills and the headrests.
