The new BMW 4 Series.
Endowed with an aesthetic appeal and dynamic flair
all of its own, the BMW 4 Series has stood out with its supremely
assured and stylish air ever since its launch. A total of nearly 400,000
sales worldwide (up to the end of 2016) is testimony to the tremendous
allure of the BMW 4 Series, whose story began in 2013 with the arrival
of the BMW 4 Series Coupe. The following year, it was joined by the BMW 4
Series Convertible and the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe to create a complete
model family. The cars are manufactured in Munich (BMW 4 Series Coupe),
Regensburg (BMW 4 Series Convertible) and Dingolfing (BMW 4 Series Gran
Coupe).
The new BMW 4 Series models write the next chapter in this success story with even sharper styling and revised suspension.
Accentuating the sporty character.
Restyled LED headlights take the place of the
outgoing cars’ xenon units. And all models in the range are equipped
with LED front foglamps as standard. The LED rear lights fitted on the
BMW 4 Series for the first time give extra impact to the car’s powerful
looks. Modified air intakes, line-specific applications and the new rear
apron add further striking touches.
Moving inside, the new electroplated detailing,
chrome applications and centre console in high-gloss black reinforce the
exclusive, high-quality feel. Another visual highlight is the double
stitching on the instrument panel, while three new upholstery colours
together with three new interior trim strips provide even greater choice
when it comes to personalising the interior’s design.
The two new exterior paint finishes Snapper Rocks
Blue and Sunset Orange are available exclusively for the new BMW 4
Series models, and there is also one new model-specific wheel design
each for the Advantage, Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport equipment
lines. An abundance of additional equipment options offers ample scope
for tailoring the car to individual tastes.
Revised suspension.
The new BMW 4 Series Coupe and BMW 4 Series Gran
Coupe now come with a stiffer suspension set-up delivering even sportier
handling without any loss of ride comfort. Both the lateral and
longitudinal dynamics have been improved, regardless of the load on
board. This applies not only to the standard suspension, but also to the
M Sport suspension and the Adaptive suspension. All new BMW 4 Series
models now boast even more assured straight-line stability and more
communicative steering.
31 model and powertrain variants.
All of the petrol engines and the four-cylinder
diesel units fitted in the new BMW 4 Series range stem from the latest
BMW EfficientDynamics family of engines and are equipped with BMW
TwinPower Turbo technology. There are three petrol engines (BMW 420i,
BMW 430i and BMW 440i) and three diesel options (BMW 420d, BMW 430d, BMW
435d xDrive) available for all of the new BMW 4 Series models.
The power output of the petrol-engined BMW 4 Series
model variants ranges from 135 kW / 184 hp in the BMW 420i up to 240 kW /
326 hp in the BMW 440i (fuel consumption combined: 7.9 – 5.5 l/100 km
[35.8 – 51.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 185 – 127 g/km). When it
comes to the diesel line-up, meanwhile, the power spectrum extends from
140 kW / 190 hp in the BMW 420d up to the 230 kW / 313 hp of the BMW
435d xDrive (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 available in a further
diesel variant – the BMW 418d with 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).
A total of twelve model variants are available with
the option of BMW xDrive, while the BMW 435d xDrive comes with the
intelligent all-wheel-drive system as standard – in Coupe, Convertible
and Gran Coupe guise.
New navigation and instrumentation displays.
The optional Navigation system Professional for the
new BMW 4 Series now features an interface with large tile-style control
pads that is even easier to use. The control pads can be arranged as
desired and display a constantly updated version of the linked menu
content, making operation even more intuitive for users.
The BMW 4 Series range can be optionally fitted with
the Multifunctional Instrument Display, giving the driver the choice of
different visualisation options for all displays depending on the
driving experience mode selected.
Sharper design for the BMW M4, too.
The BMW M4 Coupe and BMW M4 Convertible now come as
standard with the adaptive full-LED headlights. And the newly designed
full-LED rear lights again freshen up appearances and inject technical
appeal. Besides this, a number of styling touches have been added to
give the cabin of the sportiest BMW 4 Series variants an even more
sophisticated air. And the two M4 models likewise feature the updated
version of the Navigation system Professional and other ConnectedDrive
features.
