For BMW, it’s all about the driver. The cockpit is exactly the same as that of the 4 Series Coupe and 3 Series Sedan. An 8.8-inch central touchscreen display is standard while a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display is optional. Opting for the Live Cockpit Professional increases the touchscreen to 10.25-inches. The iDrive 7 infotainment system is also standard as are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, navigation, and BMW’s Intelligent Personal Assistant.
Open-pore wood oak grain trim is also standard while aluminum trim is standard for the higher trim M440i and M440i xDrive. All trims can be optioned with additional wood trims and aluminum with a mesh effect.
And, of course, there’s the matter of the roof. The new soft-top is about 40 percent lighter than the old hardtop and frees up 0.2 inches of headroom. It also has multiple insulation layers and a flush-fitting glass window. Opening and closing happens at the push of a button and takes just 18 seconds at speeds up to 31 mph. The rear seats, while small, can accommodate two adults. Cargo capacity increases by 1.2 cubic feet for a total of nine cubic feet. A standard rear-seat-pass-through and wind deflector are standard.
