BMW M440i Convertible Expected in India by May, Could Be Priced Around ₹1 Crore

BMW is expected to bring the BMW M440i xDrive Convertible to India in May 2026, with prices likely to be in the ₹1 Crore to ₹1.1 Crore range (ex-showroom).

Positioned as a more lifestyle-focused alternative to the BMW M340i, the M440i Convertible combines performance with open-top driving and could become one of the few premium convertibles in this segment.

Performance and Engine

Power comes from BMW’s well-known 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system.

Key figures include:

  • Up to 386 hp
  • 500 Nm torque
  • 0-100 km/h in around 4.7 seconds
  • 8-speed automatic gearbox
  • xDrive all-wheel drive

BMW’s adaptive suspension and M Sport differential are also part of the package, keeping the focus on performance as much as comfort.

Soft Top and Design

One of the highlights here is the soft-top roof, which opens or closes in 18 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h.

Other design highlights include:

  • Updated LED headlights
  • Revised kidney grille
  • Optional Laserlight taillights
  • Fabric soft-top instead of a hard-top

Interior and Features

Inside, the big update is BMW’s newer digital setup.

Features include:

  • BMW Curved Display
  • 12.3-inch driver display
  • 14.9-inch touchscreen
  • Operating System 8.5
  • Harman Kardon audio
  • Wireless smartphone connectivity

It also gets M-specific touches like:

  • M Sport seats
  • M steering wheel
  • M seatbelts

Boot space stands at 385 litres with the roof up.

Rivals and India Positioning

If launched, the BMW M440i xDrive Convertible will sit in a niche of its own in India, with very few direct rivals.

Its closest alternative would be the Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet, while buyers may also cross-shop it with performance sedans and coupes like the BMW M340i and BMW M2 Competition or even stretch towards the BMW M4 Competition.
