BMW Cuts Profit Margin Target to Just 3-5% by 2028, Will Axe 8,000 German Jobs
Sep 30, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- A proper six-cylinder, all-wheel-drive drop-top: the B58 straight-six and xDrive get it to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, which BMW says makes it the quickest car in its segment
- Undercuts the Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet at launch while bringing more standard hardware: M Sport differential, Adaptive M suspension and red M Sport brakes
- The fabric soft top opens or closes in 18 seconds at up to 50 km/h, so a sudden shower is no drama
- Richly equipped cabin with the 14.9-inch curved display, head-up display, 12-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound and Digital Key Plus
Worth knowing
- At Rs 1.09 crore it sits well above the M340i, and you give up two usable rear seats and boot space for the open-air experience
- Imported as a CBU in a single, fixed variant, so there is no cheaper 4 Series Convertible to step into
- Just 126 mm of reported ground clearance and low-profile 19-inch mixed tyres need care over Indian speed breakers
- Standard warranty is only 2 years, with the third year sold as an extended warranty
