With the new i3 already public, BMW is hard at work on its next electric car: an i4 Convertible. This model would ride on the company's dedicated Neue Klasse EV architecture and join a rumored electric i4 Coupe, giving BMW a pair of two-door EVs to complement its growing battery-powered lineup.
According to reports from BMWBlog, the i4 Convertible carries the internal codename NA3 and will closely mirror the formula of today's gasoline-powered 4 Series Convertible. That means a traditional fabric soft top, four seats, and two doors instead of a retractable hardtop. A coupe variant, reportedly codenamed NA2, is also said to be in development alongside the convertible.

A new i4 Convertible would make BMW one of the few automakers to offer an electric droptop. Buyers currently have almost no options in the segment, with the fully electric Maserati GranCabrio Folgore standing as one of the only production EV convertibles currently on sale.
