BMW is a brand that everyone, from amateur car enthusiasts to serious drivers, recognize across the globe. The German automobile manufacturer has dominated the luxury car segment for over 100 years. And the brand never fails to surprise its loyal patrons with vehicles that are a definition in itself, standing a class apart. The BMW 4 series is another fine example of continued exemplary craftsmanship and performance in automobile manufacturing.

BMW 4 Series – Key highlights
Compared to its predecessor in the BMW 3 series sedan, a few things have changed in design and performance. Some key highlights justify the slightly higher price tag.

Firstly, with the 4 series, you’ll notice the immediate two-door sedan difference that gives the car a sportier look. But this design enhancement does come at the cost of second-row seating comfort and boot space that you’d get with the 3 series. Also, there is a stark difference in terms of performance between the entry-level model of the 430i series and the premium M440i trims. And this upgrade costs a massive $11,000 extra with few key accents in terms of design and performance for the M440i.

3 unique body styles
The BMW 4 Series features the 430i base model, the M440i, and the M4 body styles, all available in a coupe and convertible builds.

The two-door sedan is a visual showstopper, more so if you go for the sporty convertible option for a slightly higher price tag. Where the base trim of the 430i body style is priced at just under $47,400, the exclusive M4 Models start at a whopping $74,400 without customizations. BMW promises a sporty performance with every single trim in the 4 series, backed by some serious horsepower and smart handling. Even new drivers can enjoy an exhilarating and safe drive with many onboard safety and performance upgrades. The car adapts to your throttle and braking response, so it doesn’t matter if you drive the coupe or the convertible.

Performance that rivals the best brands
The 430i and 430 xDrive are powered by a 2.0L TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine capable of churning out 255 hp. With the M440i and M440 xDrive, you can upgrade to a more powerful 6-cylinder 3.0L M TwinPower Gasoline Engine generating 382 hp. At the pinnacle of performance is the 6-cylinder 3.0L supercharged 503 hp engine featured in the M4 trims. You also have the option of choosing from the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive for any of the trims featured in the BMW 4 series lineup.

Design, comfort, and smart control
The BMW 4 series, with its three unique trims, also promises the ultimate culmination of design and comfort. First things first, the design retains its classic BMW build but features accents like a vertical kidney grille, sports air inlets, and LED headlights that make it stand apart in luxury sedans. And on the interior, the center cockpit console design places you at a comfortable front and left-aligned position for a sporty drive experience. But when it comes to the dashboard, materials used for the interior, and primary controls, not much has changed from the 3 series. The 4 series comes with the default BMW iDrive 7 infotainment software with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility to sync and connect all your wireless apps. For the infotainment panel, you can either opt for the standard 8.8-inch display or upgrade to the 10.3-inch touchscreen interface. In addition, you also enjoy the enhanced 12.3-inch digital display cluster that displays the car’s performance response.

BMW offers exclusive customization on the official website, where you can check out color schemes, build upgrades, and all add-ons to build your dream luxury sedan. The final price of the vehicle will be decided upon by confirming the trim and customizations.
