The new BMW 4 Series Coupe and BMW 4 Series Convertible

Introduced worldwide in March 2024, the new BMW 4 Series Coupe and BMW 4 Series Convertible embody BMW's premium character with a focus on driving pleasure and elegant sporty design. The exterior design has been updated with modern accents and new features, while the interior is characterized by the groundbreaking cockpit design, including the BMW Curved Display and the latest evolution of BMW iDrive with QuickSelect, based on the new BMW Operating System 8.5.

Exterior
Potential, elegance and authenticity are the main themes of the design of the new BMW 4 Series Coupe and BMW 4 Series Convertible. Specific design features of the BMW 4 Series are the powerful front end with slim LED headlights and vertical BMW kidney grille. The air intakes of the forward-tilted grille have a mesh structure, both in standard equipment and with the M Sport package. The surround is now finished in matte chrome. The headlights have been improved both visually and functionally. The LED units have been redesigned, with low and high beam using the same LED module. A pair of vertical and slightly arrow-shaped LED units form the daytime running lights and turn signals.

The adaptive LED headlights also come with expressive Laserlight taillights. This technology debuted on the high-performance BMW M4 CSL and is now being applied to a volume model for the first time. In the new BMW 4 Series models, laser diodes illuminate a fiber-optic beam, allowing the taillights to display a complex graphic light pattern. The lines of the three-dimensional Laserlight give the taillights an exclusive and unmistakable design. A diffuser element in the rear bumper is now finished in high-gloss black. The exhaust tailpipes, which are integrated into the rear bumper on the left and right, have grown from 90 to 100 mm in diameter.

New body colors and alloy wheels
The new BMW 4 Series Coupe and BMW 4 Series Convertible are available with a choice of two uni colors and eight metallic body colors. New to the range are the colors Cape York Grün metallic and Fire Rot metallic. In addition, a wide range of BMW Individual body colors is available. A range of new alloy wheels has also been added to the offering, including three 19-inch M wheels in double-spoke styling in Jet Black or a Bicolor finish. There are also new light-alloy BMW Individual wheels with Y-spoke styling in Midnight Grey.

Progressive interior
Standard sport seats and redesigned steering wheels make the driving experience in the new BMW 4 Series Coupe and BMW 4 Series Convertible even more intense. The large BMW Curved Display provides a fresh and modern interpretation of the driver focus typical of BMW. Standard equipment has been expanded to include Ambiance lighting and electrically folding exterior mirrors. The range of optional equipment has been restructured for even more targeted personalization. New leather-clad steering wheels with a more modern and sporty design, illuminated multi-function buttons and shift paddles are also available. The M Sport package includes an M Sport steering wheel with three-spoke design, a flattened underside and a subtle 12-hour mark.

Innovative dashboard
The redesigned BMW iDrive with QuickSelect provides improved operation of ventilation and climate control. Setting the temperature, ventilation intensity and - if applicable - steering wheel and seat heating is now adjustable by touch via the BMW Curved Display or by voice command via the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. New controls for the air outlets in the dashboard allow the airflow to be adjusted as desired with rotary and tilt movements. Standard Ambiance lighting now includes contour lighting integrated into the edge of the central air outlets. As with the lighting in the footwells, the storage compartment in the front part of the center console and the door handles, the color and brightness of the light can be adjusted to personal preferences. There are nine colors to choose from.

Drive and driving experience: powerful, efficient and particularly confident
The engine range for the new BMW 4 Series models includes powerful and efficient four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and electrification in the form of 48V mild hybrid technology. An 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission is standard for all models. M Performance models feature six-in-line engines under the hood. Depending on the engine variant, this power is brought to the road via rear-wheel drive or intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive.

The six-in-line engines and four-cylinder diesel engine feature 48V mild hybrid technology, for more direct power delivery and added efficiency. A 48V starter generator provides 8 kW (11 hp) of extra power at the slightest touch of the accelerator pedal. This electric boost provides additional dynamic acceleration from standstill and during intermediate acceleration, as well as support at constant speed. The mild hybrid system regenerates energy during braking and deceleration. The energy is stored in a 48V battery that powers both the starter generator and the regular 12V system. This also makes the BMW's power consumers work even more efficiently.

Wide range of systems for automated driving and parking
In the field of automated driving and parking, the new BMW 4 Series Coupe and BMW 4 Series Convertible are equipped as standard with Front Collision Warning with braking intervention, Cruise Control with braking function, Speed Limit Info with recognition of overtaking prohibitions, manual Speed Limit Assist and Lane Departure Warning with steering corrections. The Driving Assistant Professional Pack with Steering and Lane Control Assistant is optional, as is Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function, automatic Speed Limit Assist, route-dependent cruise control and traffic light recognition. Automated parking and coasting is possible thanks to standard Parking Assistant, including a rearview camera and Reversing Assistant. Parking Assistant Plus with Park View, Panorama View and Remote 3D View is optional.
