Alongside the sleek M4 Coupe, I’m delighted to present the seductive Convertible, and the stunning Gran Coupe! They all have one thing in common: dynamic design matched by thrilling power. Pure emotion – that’s the BMW 4 Series!
That number four is significant: We have sold over 400,000 BMW 4 Series cars since we introduced them in 2013. And when it came to updating them, we focused on refining four aspects: More presence, more elegance, more exclusivity and even sportier!
With new LED head and rear lights, an unbroken front air intake and streamlined rear apron – the new 4 series makes even more of a statement. And we not only gave the BMW 4 Series a sportier look, we also completely updated the suspension: Performance is sharper and more dynamic.”
