The BMW 4-Series success story dates back to June 2013 and the launch of the original BMW 4-Series Coupe. Built at BMW Group Plant Munich, the 4-Series Coupe is based on the BMW 3-Series, but adds its own brand of aesthetic appeal and performance to its progenitor’s dynamic qualities. With a notably wider stance and longer wheelbase than its predecessor, the body of the BMW 4-Series Coupe has a low-slung silhouette with sporty, elongated lines. Sporting the brand’s trademark short overhangs, a long bonnet and a passenger compartment set well back and crowned by a beautifully flowing roof line, the BMW 4-Series Coupe boasts a perfectly composed design language, while still offering high levels of everyday practicality.
The BMW 4-Series Convertible: the epitome of pure freedom
Six months after the launch of the BMW 4-Series Coupe, with all its dynamism and elegance, the BMW 4-Series Convertible added the pleasure of open-top motoring to the mix. Raising the roof produces a broad-shouldered look and a graceful, sporty outline that is further emphasised by the long boot lid. Opening the roof, meanwhile, creates the impression of a wraparound boat-deck rear, further heightening the sense of elegance. The Convertible is manufactured at BMW Group Plant Regensburg.
BMW EfficientDynamics
All of the petrol engines and the four-cylinder diesel units offered for the new BMW 4-Series hail from the latest BMW EfficientDynamics family and are equipped with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
All new BMW 4-Series models are available with three petrol engines offering the following power ratings: the 420i with 135 kW / 184 hp, the 430i with 185 kW / 252 hp and the top-of-the-range 440i with 240 kW / 326 hp (fuel consumption combined: 7.9 – 5.5 l/100 km [35.8 – 51.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 185 – 127 g/km).
There is also a choice of three diesel engines: the 420d with 140 kW / 190 hp, 430d with 190 kW / 258 hp and 435d xDrive with 230 kW / 313 hp (fuel consumption combined: 5.9 – 4.0 l/100 km [47.9 – 70.6 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 155 – 106 g/km).
The BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe is also available with another diesel engine variant, the 418d, whose four-cylinder in-line engine has an output of 110 kW / 150 hp (fuel consumption combined: 4.5 – 4.1 l/100 km [62.8 – 68.9 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 118 – 107 g/km).
Depending on the particular model, the BMW 4-Series Coupe, BMW 4-Series Convertible and BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe can be specified with a choice of six-speed manual gearbox or the eight-speed Steptronic transmission, which is already fitted as standard on the BMW 430i xDrive, BMW 430d / BMW 430d xDrive, BMW 435d xDrive, BMW 440i Convertible / BMW 440i xDrive Convertible and BMW 440i Gran Coupe / BMW 440i xDrive Gran Coupe.
Intelligent all-wheel drive for optimum transmission of drive power
All petrol models in the new BMW 4-Series (with the exception of the BMW 420i Convertible), plus the BMW 420d Coupe / BMW 420d Gran Coupe and BMW 430d Coupe / BMW 430d Gran Coupe diesel models, can be specified with the optional BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive system instead of classical rear-wheel drive.
BMW xDrive technology already comes as standard on the BMW 4-Series Coupe, BMW 4-Series Convertible and BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe in 435d form.
Besides the inherent benefits of all-wheel drive – such as optimum transmission of power to the road, supreme handling safety and unbeatable grip, e.g. in wintry conditions – BMW xDrive also serves to reduce understeer and oversteer through bends, resulting in more dynamic cornering properties.
