Vehicle Overview

The BMW 4 Series replaced the previous-generation 3 Series coupe and convertible models in 2014. Power comes from a turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the 428i, and from a turbocharged six-cylinder in the 435i. Rear- and all-wheel-drive versions are available, and competitors include the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. BMW also offers the high-performance M4 and a 4 Series Gran Coupe, a four-door model with coupelike styling.

(Skip to details on the: 4 Series Gran Coupe and M4)
New for 2016
Sport Line content, 18-inch wheels and an anti-theft alarm system are now standard on the 4 Series. Sport Line elements include sport seats; high-gloss black finishes for the grille, air intakes, B-pillar and a section of the rear bumper; a black-chrome exhaust tip; a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel; and a sport instrument cluster. A new Track Handling Package features 18-inch wheels in a gray finish, uprated brakes, an adaptive suspension and variable sport steering.
Significant Standard Features

  • Power-adjustable seats
  • Split-folding rear seat
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Bluetooth and USB connectivity
  • Power moonroof (coupe)
  • Power-retractable hardtop (convertible)
  • Required in every new car: front airbags, antilock brakes and an electronic stability system

Significant Available Features

  • Automatic high-beam headlights
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats and steering wheel
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Side, top-view and backup cameras
  • Navigation system
  • Head-up display
  • Blind spot warning system
  • Lane departure warning
  • Harman Kardon premium stereo

4 Series Gran Coupe
With the exact same length, width, wheelbase and track as the two-door coupe but featuring a bit more headroom, the 4 Series Gran Coupe sports a tall hatchback sedan profile and a full 45.9 cubic feet of total luggage space. Like the 4 Series, it’s offered in 428i and 435i form.
What’s Special

  • Hatchback versatility with the look of a sedan
  • 40/20/40-split rear seatbacks
  • Eight-speed automatic transmission standard
  • Rear- or all-wheel drive

Back to top
M4
The high-performance M4 is available in coupe or convertible form and competes with the Cadillac ATS-V and Lexus RC F.
What’s Special

  • 425-horsepower, turbocharged six-cylinder engine
  • Six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
  • Carbon-fiber roof (coupe)
  • Reworked bumpers with larger air intakes and frontal air curtains to redirect airflow
  • Unique instrument cluster

  • I've been a BMW fan for many years, and this 428i has not

    I've been a BMW fan for many years, and this 428i has not disappointed. It drives and handles just as it should, and the 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is excellent. The seatbelt 'presenters' do not work well, and the door pull handles melt in the Florida heat; other than those two little annoyances, this is an exceptional automobile.

  • Love my first BMW

    I bought my 2016 BMW 428i convertible sight unseen, except for pictures in the Fall, 2021. It had just under 29,000 miles. The seller was an old friend living in Atlanta. We didn’t haggle on price, she received more than a trade in offer, I paid less than a dealer sale. I also factored into my cost shipping to NJ, $650 plus a five year extended warranty, $3,300. I absolutely love the car. I’ve never owned a BMW and now I better understand owner loyalty. Handling is a dream and I’m always surprised at my speed, going 70 when I thought it was 50. Getting my 68 year old body in and out can be difficult, but it’s worth. I bought just as gas prices were going up, but I don’t drive as much as I used to. It did cost $70 to fill my tank. All in all I couldn’t be happier.

  • Phenomenal Car!

    Delivers everything one could ask for in a Luxury Performance Sport convertible. Refined and hard-top design offers none of the traditional compromises of most convertibles. The beat of both worlds top up or down.

  • This is a four-banger? WOW!

    I was pleasantly surprised when I got behind the wheel. The interior amenities were many and varied. It's what I expect from BMW. But I was not expecting the performance out of this 30MPG vehicle. I'm more than satisfied with the acceleration and handling of this hard-top convertible. I look forward to letting the top down as soon as this Michigan winter is done. No complaints so far. If you're on the fence because of the four cylinder, get over it. It rocks.
