BMW M440i Launched in India: Performance Meets Open-Top Luxury
BMW India has officially launched the BMW M440i xDrive Convertible at an ex-showroom price of ₹1.09 crore. This new addition to the M Performance lineup bridges the gap between the standard 4 Series and the hardcore M4, offering a balance of daily usability and high performance. The BMW M440i features a classic fabric soft top that can be operated in just 18 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h. With its 3.0-litre straight-six engine, the BMW M440i is aimed at enthusiasts looking for a lifestyle vehicle that doesn’t compromise on speed.
- Power and Speed: The car produces 374 hp and 500 Nm of torque, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.
- Pricing & Rivals: At ₹1.09 crore, it directly competes with the Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet, which is priced slightly higher at ₹1.16 crore.
- Advanced Tech: The interior features the BMW Curved Display with a 14.9-inch touchscreen running the latest OS 8.5.
- Handling: It comes standard with xDrive all-wheel drive and an M Sport differential for better grip on Indian roads.
👉 Why it matters: The launch of the BMW M440i shows that the Indian luxury market is maturing beyond just SUVs. There is a growing demand for niche “fun-to-drive” cars that serve as secondary lifestyle vehicles for high-net-worth individuals.
