The BMW M4 is a standout in BMW's mid-range coupes. The origins of the M4 lie in the separation of earlier M3 coupe and cabrio models from the sedans to emphasize the sporty line more distinctly. The generation of the F82 coupe and F83 cabrio was produced from 2014 to 2020, with the F83 cabriolet offering an open driving experience with BMW M performance. The design of the engine and aerodynamic elements was executed by Florian Nissl, one of the leading engineers and designers at BMW.
The BMW M4 Cabrio (F83) boasts impressive technical specs. Under the hood lies a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six engine producing 431 horsepower, enabling an impressive acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4.6 seconds (0-60 mph in about 4.6 seconds). The F83 is a vehicle from the 2014 to 2020 F83 model year. The engine code is S55B30, specially developed by BMW M engineers to combine high performance and efficiency. The vehicle offers various driving modes from comfortable to extremely sporty and the option to drive with a dual-clutch transmission or a classic manual gearbox.
The model of the BMW M4 Cabrio based on the F83 and depicted here is in 1/18 scale by Paragon. It showcases an exact and detailed replica of the original and is part of the collection of Modelly member neophyte1410. Noticeable is the precise replication of the vibrant blue color, resembling the real BMW Yas Marina Blue Metallic. The paintwork and carefully placed badges, like the M4 plaque and BMW logo, reflect the high quality of the miniature. The model's wheels seem to faithfully represent the original BMW Double Spoke 437 M wheels found on the real vehicle.
Special features of this 1/18 scale model by Paragon include movable parts such as doors and hood, allowing a view of the detailed interior and the replica of the S55 engine. The interior is adorned with typical M details, including seats in a sports seat design and M-specific trim elements. The seats are in a contrasting light gray, realistically portraying the sporty design. The rear view of the model emphasizes the sporty character with the four exhaust pipes and standard diffuser. By accurately capturing these details, the model car provides a comprehensive and realistic insight into the elegance and sportiness of the real BMW M4 Cabrio.
