The Driver’s Choice: BMW 430i M Sport Convertible

_____________________________________________________

There is so much choice in today’s premium used car market that it can be difficult to know what to buy. There will always be those, of course, who are wedded to particular brands, having always had them, and they’ll stick to that one brand forever. But for those who just want a competent car, with the right specification, interior space, and design flair, it can be difficult to know which route to go down. Navigating that maze can be a challenge, but if you know what style of car you want we’ll be able to introduce you to a selection that we’re sure you’ll love.

On that note – calling all fans of ‘soft-tops’ – say hello to the BMW 430i M Sport Convertible, a beautifully engineered creation by the boffins in Munich. It is quite simply the perfect convertible. Boasting a hood that folds in 18 seconds up to 31mph, you need not fear our tumultuous British weather.

And if you like your engines with a bit of get-up-and-go you’ll also be pleased with the 430i. Its 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder motor delivers 254bhp and accelerates from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds, giving you the ability to overtake quickly and safely, whilst also giving you plenty of driving enjoyment when the roads get twisty.

And the cabin is a joy to occupy as well. You’re surrounded by supple Vernasca leather, flashes of cool aluminium, and an up-to-date future-proofed touchscreen with IDrive and Apple CarPlay support.

And our example takes things even further, benefitting from the Comfort Pack and Technology Pack, giving you the warm air collar, heated steering wheel, heated seats, Harman Kardon sound system, wireless charging, head-up-display, reversing camera, and park assist. Tony Stark, move over.

Real ‘drivers’ will also notice our example’s M Sport Pro Pack, with 19-inch Bicolour double spoke alloy wheels, M seat belts, M Sport brakes, M adaptive suspension, and Shadowline exterior styling. And this is perhaps one of the primary reasons why you’d opt for the BMW over the Audi or Merc equivalent – driving joy.

It has both the luxury component and the engaging driver-oriented technologies to match. For those of us who get all doughy eyed at the BMW 1M and E90 M3 of a few years ago…well let’s put it this way…you’ll not think BMW has lost its way after spending a week with a 430i.

Are you ready for summer? Pair some great weather with the right set of wheels. Ladies and gentlemen, the 430i.

Our BMW 430i M Sport Convertible is offered in excellent condition and has covered 33,250 miles. The vehicle comes with a BMW Service History and benefits from the remainder of a BMW manufacturer warranty until September 2024.
