F83 BMW M4 Convertible looks great in Yas Marina Blue

The recently launched F83 BMW M4 Convertible was spotted on the road featuring the Yas Marina Blue colour.

Initially advertised as the launch colour for the F80 M3 Sedan, the unique blue shade has been seen on the M4 Coupe as well and now on the convertible.

At the International Media Launch of the 2015 BMW M4 Convertible back in August, BMW brought out different models to showcase the colour palette of the new cabriolet.

The M4 Convertible was shown there was in the Sakhir Orange colour which first debuted in the M6 Coupe. The M3 and M4 Coupe/Convertible come with a variety of well-known colours as well as two new ones: Yas Marina Blue Metallic and Austin Yellow Metallic. The other exterior colors are: Alpine White, Mineral Grey Metallic, Sakhir Orange, Black Sapphire Metallic, Silverstone Metallic and Mineral White Metallic.

The new F80 BMW M3 and F82/F83 M4 will officially only get a frozen paint in 2015.

Under the hood, it features the same S55 3.0 litre inline-six TwinPower engine producing 425 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The power is sent to the rear-wheels via a six-speed or an optional 7-speed M DCT transmission.

BMW has announced that pricing for the 2015 M4 convertible in the US will start at $73,425. That represents an increase of $8300 compared with the 2015 M4 coupe and $1750 versus the 2013 M3 convertible.

BMW M4 Convertible Reaching 270 km/h

BMW headed over to Munich, Germany, to test drive and review the new BMW M4 Convertible. While putting the M4 Convertible through its paces on curvy roads and on the Autobahn, BMW decided to see if they could reach its top electronically-limited speed.

The video below gives you a look at the tachometer showing the 270 km/h mark, about 10 km/h lower than the advertised top speed which usually tends to be slightly lower. To capture the exhaust sound, BMW used another GoPro camera placed right above the exhaust tips.

The 2015 BMW M4 Convertible is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six which makes 425 hp and 406 lb-ft. That’s barely up from the last-gen M3′s peak 414 hp, but up significantly in the torque department.
