M4 Convertible through-load rear seats
I see it as a standard option. On first glance I would think you can fold the seats through the trunk and put in a golf bag (just like a normal 4 series cv). Anyone know anything about this? I would think its pretty silly to put it in a 4 series CV and not the M4. Thoughts?

My question is can I put cargo through the trunk into the cabin? I can see I can fold down the rear seats. After you fold down rear seats the wind breaker becomes exposed, after that I am pretty stuck I don't see any way of folding the last piece down to get through the trunk.

With that said, the wind breaker on my 435 has not seen ANY time behind the seat since we received it (yes I know not everyone has no use for putting people in the rear seats). In my old 328Vert without the fold down seats(just a ski slot)or a place to put it behind the seats, we would just fold it up and put it in the trunk?? We love the new fold down seat feature & the ability to pack the trunk easily with the top down now with the use of the new lift button.

Plus this car also has an easy load feature with a button on the truck lid - if the top is down you open the trunk, push the button, and the whole collapsed top lifts up so you can use the load through. The link above aslo has a picture of that.... plus there's a ton of pics of the load through if you just do a |

So, I'm at the Performance Center taking delivery of my M4 vert, and I can confirm that there is no through loading on my car. You can fold the seat back down to get to the wind deflector, but there is no opening through to the trunk. I had an E93 that did have a ski bag / load through area, but alas, the F83 does not.

I agree, there is def a discrepancy bc although the online manual / app shows that you can fold down for pass through, I promise that there's no passage in my car.

Ok I just picked up my M4 vert Wed before our snowstorm...didn't notice the lack of the pass thru till I just read this post.
HOLY SHIT We bought a 435 this summer and it has the pass thru, and I was assured that this feature would be on the M4 (I use it a lot in the 435) BMW I am pissed. Going to go after them for resolution for sure

This is a huge bummer - it's one of the reasons I picked this car over a Boxster GTS. It's actually less functionality than my E93 ... a step backwards.
What's odd is that the press cars have it, the press materials have it, the manual shows it, but it didn't end up on the production line. I wonder what happened? In any event, CiaranOB has written a letter to BMWNA and I'll post back what he hears. We may all need to group together and ask BMWNA or BMW to retrofit our cars ... this is a huge miss and, to me, is WAY BEYOND any disclaimer. |

I haven't taken re-delivery yet so I can't say, but every single 'vert (at least on these forums) is coming without the pass-through, so i'm assuming mine will as well.
I'm actually thankful I didn't check during ED because this would've seriously pissed me off. |

Wow. That sucks guys. I was pretty close to going F83, and this would have been a major deal breaker for me.
Hope you hear some sort of resolution soon.

So having a 435 with a pass through-load and an M4 without, I have been studying what is needed to change it.....
1-Panel, partition, top # 51 47 7 293 945 1-Trim panel partition wall bottom # 51 47 293 946 1-Trim panel , bulkhead, interiors # 51 47 7 325 991 1-Insert,partition wall, middle # 51 47 7 363 430 1-Flap,theifproofing # 51 47 7 300 752 Don't ask me cost YET as I have not gotten that far...and all of the fasteners I expect to use over. Will my dealer make any kind of reconciliation....???? Just like the wheel recall, we will have to wait and find out Till next time
