Editor’s comment: Shortly after the launch of the hard-top version, the soft-top convertible version of the M4 was finally exposed with patent drawings. Compared with the hard-top model, the convertible version not only sacrifices the elegant roof line, but also further increases the weight of the car. For some enthusiasts, this is simply their most annoying thing. Of course, the airy appearance of the convertible when opened will also make many netizens excited. Let the car owners choose how to weigh it. (Text/Car Home? Jiang Che)
