By 2017, BMW's 4-series coupe faced stiffer competition than ever—the Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe had arrived, and Audi's RS5 was sharpening its edges. The updated 440i, with 326 horsepower from its 3.0-litre inline-six, offered genuine pace without the extreme price tag. Three body styles let buyers choose between pure coupé aggression, convertible versatility, or the unconventiona
By 2018, the fourth-generation 4 Series arrived with a sharper focus on driver engagement and visual presence. Three body styles—coupé, cabriolet, and the practical Gran Coupé—addressed different buyer priorities within the premium compact segment. The range opened with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder producing 184 horsepower, climbing to a 3.0-litre straight-six good fo
The 2019 catalogue opened with three distinct body styles: the classic two-door coupé, the soft-top convertible, and the newly emphasized Gran Coupé four-door. Buyers could choose between turbocharged four-cylinder engines starting at 190 hp or step up to the 340 hp inline-six, each paired with an eight-speed automatic. This breadth of powertrain and configuration made the rang
When this refreshed range arrived in 2020, BMW positioned the 4 Series as the driver's choice in a crowded premium coupe market. The saloon-inspired grille and sharper bodywork signalled intent against Audi's A5 and Mercedes' C63 AMG. Three body styles—Coupe, Cabriolet, and Gran Coupe—gave buyers flexibility; turbocharged engines from 184 hp upward promised engagement.
When BMW launched the 4 Series Cabrio in 2013, it faced stiff competition from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet and Audi A5 Convertible—both well-established in the premium soft-top segment. The newcomer carried forward the 3.0-litre straight-six engine good for 320 hp in 335i guise, paired with an eight-speed automatic. What set it apart was the lighter aluminium roof frame
By 2020, BMW's convertible faced stiffer rivals from Audi's A5 Cabriolet and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Cabriolet. The 4 Series Cabrio held its ground with the 430i's 258 horsepower and the M440i xDrive's formidable 503 hp, plus a lighter, stiffer chassis than its predecessor. Buyers weighed refinement against the sharper sportiness of Mercedes' AMG lineup.
When the 2021 4 Series Cabrio arrived in the premium soft-top segment, buyers seeking open-air performance found a direct rival to the SL and C-Class Cabriolet. The inline-six engine delivered 340 horsepower through an eight-speed automatic, positioning it as the accessible entry point into BMW's convertible range without compromise on driving engagement.
By 2022, the four-seat convertible lineup offered buyers a choice between the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 255 hp and the 3.0-liter inline-six delivering 340 hp. The M440i xDrive variant commanded premium pricing but brought all-wheel traction and sport-tuned suspension. Soft-top operation remained swift, and the power rear window added genuine practicality fo
Under the retractable fabric roof sat a turbocharged 2.0-litre four producing 184 horsepower in base form, while the M440i xDrive variant delivered 503 hp from its twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six. That powertrain choice positioned the 2023 model against rivals offering similar flexibility between efficiency and performance in the premium convertible segment.
By 2024, the convertible segment had narrowed considerably, making this model's arrival in Austria and Taiwan markets a calculated move against a shrinking field of rivals. The 340 hp six-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic drive a 4,835 mm platform that weighs 1,585 kg—substantial, yet competitive against the Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabriolet and Audi S5 Cabriolet still in show
When BMW launched the standalone 4 Series Coupé in 2013, it carved a distinct identity from its 3 Series sedan sibling. The 3.0-litre inline-six engine producing 306 horsepower and the lower roofline created a more aggressive stance aimed at buyers seeking coupé drama without abandoning executive restraint. Showrooms stocked the 435i across major markets that year.
When the refreshed 4 Series arrived in 2020, it faced a market already crowded with rivals from Stuttgart and Ingolstadt. BMW repositioned the coupé around digital connectivity and sport-tuned handling, offering buyers a choice between turbocharged four-cylinder efficiency and the straight-six power of the M440i. The updated infotainment suite became a key selling point across
The 2021 refresh brought three engine options to the coupe range: a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder good for 255 hp in the 430i, the 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder delivering 382 hp in the 440i, and the M440i xDrive variant pushing 503 hp. Inside, the new curved digital cockpit with a 14.9-inch display dominated the dashboard. Buyers could specify M Sport or Luxury tr
The 2022 refresh introduced a turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine producing 503 horsepower in the M440i variant, paired with BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. This powertrain positioned the coupe directly against Porsche's 911 Carrera and Mercedes-AMG C 63, offering comparable acceleration while maintaining daily-use practicality. The engine's efficiency improvements
For 2023, the 4 Series Coupe reached markets across Asia—Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan—with regionally tuned specifications and localized infotainment suites. The M440i xDrive variant commanded attention with its turbocharged six delivering 382 horsepower, while base models relied on a 2.0-litre four producing 184 hp. Left-hand-drive markets in Southeast Asia received distinctive
By 2024, the refreshed 4 Series Coupe faced stiffer competition from the Mercedes-C63 Cabriolet and Porsche 911, yet held ground with its M440i xDrive's 382 horsepower and sharper chassis tuning. Buyers weighed its digital-first cabin against rivals' traditional layouts. The updated styling language and adaptive suspension made it a credible choice in a segment where sportiness
When the 2014 range arrived, the 440i xDrive and the 428i models faced an increasingly crowded compact-premium coupé segment. Against the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, BMW's offer hinged on agility rather than raw displacement—the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder in the 428i delivered efficiency alongside sport credentials that resonated with buyers seeking restraint.
By 2016, the 4 Series faced stiffer competition from the Audi S5 and Mercedes-AMG C63, yet BMW's coupe and convertible held their ground with a refreshed front end and sharper handling. The turbocharged engines—ranging from 150 to 435 horsepower across the range—delivered the performance buyers expected, while the upgraded iDrive system kept technology current in a rapidly evol
By 2021, the fourth-generation 4 Series arrived as coupé and convertible, offering buyers a choice between the 430i's 255 horsepower and the M440i xDrive's potent 503 hp from a 3.0-litre straight-six. The lineup reflected BMW's confidence in the segment: a car positioned between the 3 Series saloon and the M4, yet distinctly its own in the coupe market where rivals like the Mer
By 2022, BMW's mid-size coupe segment had evolved into a two-body strategy: fixed-roof Coupé and power-retractable Cabriolet. The M440i xDrive, packing a 503 hp twin-turbo six-cylinder, faced stiff competition from Audi's S5 and Mercedes-AMG C63, yet the four-seater layout and available mild-hybrid efficiency across the range set it apart for buyers seeking both performance and
By 2023, the 4 Series Coupé faced stiffer competition from the Porsche 911 and Mercedes-AMG C63, yet BMW's dual-turbocharged engines—the 430i's 382 hp and the M440i's 503 hp—held their ground. The refresh brought sharper styling and updated iDrive 8 integration, keeping the model relevant against increasingly aggressive rivals in the premium coupe segment.
When the 4 Series Gran Coupé arrived in 2014, BMW aimed squarely at buyers caught between the compact 3 Series and the sprawling 5 Series. The coupé profile with four doors and a fastback roofline challenged the conventional saloon formula across European markets, particularly in France and Spain where the fastback silhouette resonated with design-conscious buyers seeking somet
By 2016, the second-generation Gran Coupé arrived to claim buyers who wanted four doors without surrendering the sleek proportions of a coupé. The range opened with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder producing 190 horsepower, climbing to the M440i's 450 hp and all-wheel drive. Rivals like the CLA and A5 Sportback offered similar practicality, but BMW's sharper steering and
By 2021, the Gran Coupé reached markets in Japan, France, South Africa, and the Netherlands with distinct regional specifications. The Japanese market received exclusive trim packages with different interior appointments, while South African buyers found reinforced cooling systems suited to local conditions. European variants carried updated infotainment systems specific to eac
By 2022, the second-generation Gran Coupé faced a reshaped competitive field. Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupé buyers now had to weigh the BMW's dual-motor xDrive setup against AMG's raw V8 aggression, while Audi's A5 Coupé pressed from below with sharper pricing. The 430i's 255 horsepower from a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder kept BMW competitive without demanding premium fuel, a
By 2023, the market for four-door coupés had fragmented into distinct buyer profiles, and BMW's refreshed 4 Series Gran Coupé arrived to capture those wanting sedan practicality without surrendering the visual drama of a sloping roofline. The entry-level M440i sDrive produced 335 hp from its turbocharged three-litre inline-six, while the xDrive variant added all-wheel grip and
The 2024 model year expanded the Gran Coupé's portfolio with three distinct body configurations sharing the same platform fundamentals. The base 430i produces 255 horsepower from its 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, while buyers stepping up to the M440i xDrive gain access to 381 hp and all-wheel-drive engagement. A plug-in hybrid variant rounded out the range, targeting Eu
Positioned against the Porsche 911 Turbo and Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupé in 2017, the M4 CS carved its own path with surgical precision. The 460 hp twin-turbo engine, paired with adaptive M suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes, delivered a visceral driving experience that justified its premium over the standard M4. Buyers seeking track-capable daily machinery found few rivals at th

The turbocharged inline-six, producing 503 horsepower, offered a different character from the naturally aspirated engines buyers had come to expect from previous generations. Indian buyers encountered a car tuned for global markets, with the sa
The 2014 M4 arrived in Canada as a two-body proposition—coupé and convertible—each powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six good for 431 horsepower. North American buyers weighed it against the Corvette and 911, drawn by the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and BMW's track-proven chassis engineering.
By 2018, the M4 faced stiffer rivals than ever—the Audi RS5 and Mercedes-AMG C63 had both sharpened their claws. BMW's answer was the twin-turbocharged six-cylinder, now pushing 500 horsepower and 600 newton-metres of torque through an eight-speed automatic. The coupe and convertible shared the same potent platform, though the open car's reinforced structure added heft without
By 2019, the M4 Coupé and Convertible reached markets across Europe and North America with distinct regional equipment. UK buyers received the full M Driver's Package as standard on certain trims, while Continental variants offered alternative suspension calibrations for their roads. Both body styles shared the same 503 hp inline-six, tuned for left-hand drive and right-hand dr
By 2020, the M4 faced renewed pressure from Mercedes-AMG and Porsche, yet BMW's twin-turbo six, producing 503 horsepower and 553 newton-metres, remained a formidable counter.

Both coupe and convertible configurations offered the same M-tuned suspension geometry and active di
When the F80 M3 and F82 M4 arrived in dealerships that year, BMW positioned them as the answer for buyers who rejected the turbo mainstream. The naturally aspirated 3.0-liter six-cylinder made 431 horsepower—enough to keep pace with forced-induction rivals while delivering the throttle response that M purists demanded. Japanese buyers, particularly, gravitated toward the coupe'
By 2020, BMW's high-performance lineup offered buyers a choice between the M4 Coupé and its four-door M3 sibling, both powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre six delivering 503 horsepower.

The 2021 M4 Coupé arrived with a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six producing 503 horsepower, marking BMW's shift from the naturally aspirated V8 that had defined M performance for two decades.

By 2022, the M4 arrived in Taiwan's performance segment as a singular proposition: a turbocharged straight-six delivering 503 horsepower, paired exclusively with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. Where rivals offered V8 alternatives, BMW committed to efficiency without compromise. The market received the Coupé body only, positioning it against established Japanese c
By 2023, BMW positioned the M4 Coupé and M3 against a narrowing field of six-cylinder rivals. The competition—Audi RS5, Mercedes-AMG C63—had largely abandoned naturally aspirated engines, yet BMW's turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six delivered 503 horsepower with measurable mid-range torque. For New Zealand and Taiwan buyers, the M models offered a distinct alternative: raw inl
By 2016, the M4 had to prove itself against the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Jaguar F-Type SVR, and BMW's answer was the turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six producing 431 horsepower.

The M3 sedan completed the range
By 2017, the M4 Coupé and Cabrio faced stiffer competition from the Porsche 911 and Mercedes-AMG C63, yet BMW's dual-turbo straight-six still delivered 431 horsepower with sharper throttle response than the previous generation.

By 2018, BMW's M division had honed the fourth-generation M4 into a formidable rival for the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Mercedes-AMG C 63.

The 2015 M4 GTS catalogue presented three distinct expressions: the fixed-roof coupé as the core offering, complemented by the convertible variant for open-air performance, and the road-legal track-focused version with its carbon-fibre body kit.
