Product Overview

The second-generation BMW 4 Series Coupe (G22) departs from its predecessor in embracing clear differentiation from the BMW 3 Series on which it is based: Notably, a striking front end with prominent, vertical kidney grille is unique to the 4 Series. The powerful yet elegant shoulders and flowing roofline accentuate the vehicle's sporting credentials.
The G22 4 Series Coupe is lower and wider compared to the latest 3 Series sedan, though it retains BMW's signature 50:50 weight distribution.
All models now come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission (Steptronic, sourced from ZF). Steptronic Sport transmission with new Sprint function as well as BMW xDrive (AWD) is also available. On the six-cylinder petrol models, a 48-volt mild hybrid system is added for improved engine response and efficiency. All diesel engines now feature two-stage turbocharging.
Inside, the G22 4 Series Coupe focuses on combining the latest technology with improved comfort. Large, 10.25-inch Control Display and optional 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster take the prominent position, while the latest BMW Head-Up Display offers 70% larger projection surface. New, cloud-based BMW Maps navigation system comes as standard, as are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, including via WiFi.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 82% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
Despite its larger dimensions, the 4 Series is easy to place on the road. Fully befitting its sporting brief, it is engagingly fleet-footed and quite incisive in its actions. The variable-rate sport steering of the M440i is direct off centre, too, giving the new BMW urgent turn-in.
Pros
  • Engagingly fleet-footed and incisive in its actions
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • Rear-wheel drive could be more fluid

autoexpress[2]

Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
In range-topping M440i xDrive trim, it's deeply impressive. But it's arguably at the bottom end of the range where the 4 Series is at its best. Turn the car into a corner and the 420i rotates instantly around the driver's hips. It rides sweetly, too.
Pros
  • Class-leading refinement
  • Excellent infotainment system
  • Decent standard equipment
Cons
  • Lack of detail

topgear[3]

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from topgear have found:
The interior has come on in leaps and bounds to challenge Audi's perceived cockpitquality. Despite the longer wheelbase and extra width, the 4 Series is not what you'd call ‘a proper four seater' The rear screen eats too far into headroom in the back for that: they're for occasional child use only. All UK 4 Series are M Sports complete with sports seats and M tricolour stitching, and are decently equipped.
Pros
  • Fantastic infotainment
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Expensive for what you get
