Here are the first real life photos of the new BMW 4 Series Convertible. In the U.S., the 2014 BMW 435i Convertible will have a starting price of $55,825.

Built on the same platform as the F30 and F32 models, the new BMW 4 Series Convertible is visibly larger in width, track and wheelbase than the outgoing BMW 3 Series Convertible. Under the hood, the new BMW 435i sports the same N55 engine as the 435i Coupe, 306 horsepower coming from a six-cylinder.
