With the original BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé having enjoyed significant success, a second-generation model is now being added to the latest 4 Series range.

The new four-door coupé is set to impress customers with its noticeably enhanced driving dynamics, a sharper design in line with BMW’s new design language, a refined premium feel for its interior and new cutting edge innovations in the areas of operation and connectivity.

Expressive and elegant silhouette

Bold lines are the defining elements of the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé’s expressive front end. Prominently featured at its centre is the large and bold BMW kidney grille. The slim full-LED headlights come with U-shaped fibre-optic light guides for the daytime driving lights. There is also the option of Adaptive LED Headlights with BMW Laserlight.

Precise lines, doors with frameless windows and flush-fitting handles shape the elegantly sporty silhouette of the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé.

The low-slung, muscular stature of the car is also accentuated by a redesigned rear end. The stylishly darkened full-LED rear lights extend well into the flanks. An M Carbon exterior package can be specified as an option, and model-specific M Performance Parts will be available as part of the Genuine BMW Accessory range.

The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé comes as standard with 17-inch light-alloy wheels. 18-inch M light-alloy wheels will be standard on the M440i xDrive Gran Coupé, or as an option on other trim levels.

Inside the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, the high centre console generates a cocooning feel in the front seats. Sport seats and a Sport leather steering wheel now come as standard. Driving pleasure and comfort can also be enhanced with optional extras. Notable options include seat heating and ventilation, Vernasca and BMW Individual leather trim options, the M Sport package Pro, and the Harman Kardon Surround Sound System.

The standard-fitted BMW Live Cockpit Plus comprises the iDrive operating system with an 8.8-inch control display and a 5.1-inch colour display in the instrument cluster. Customers can also opt for the BMW Live Cockpit Professional featuring a fully digital screen grouping with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster screen behind the steering wheel and a 10.25-inch control display.

With smartphone integration fitted as standard, customers can use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via the car’s operating system. The Remote Software Upgrades function also enables improved vehicle functions and additional digital services to be imported into the car over the air.

State-of-the-art engines coupled with mild-hybrid technology

The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé will come in a variety of trim levels, starting from the entry-level 420i Gran Coupé with a four-cylinder petrol engine producing 135 kW/184 hp to the range-topping M440i xDrive Gran Coupé powered by a 275 kW/374 hp six-cylinder in-line petrol engine.

Additionally, a 140 kW/190 hp four-cylinder diesel engine can be found under the bonnet of both the BMW 420d Gran Coupé and BMW 420d xDrive Gran Coupé.

In the BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé and diesel variants of the new car, mild hybrid technology further increases dynamism and efficiency with a 48V starter-generator. This provides an extra 8 kW/11 hp when accelerating or when a quick burst of speed is needed.

All models are paired with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission as standard, with the M440i receiving an improved eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission.

The sporting characteristics of the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé are also well served by a low centre of gravity and almost 50:50 weight distribution. An active air flap control system comprising flaps at the top and bottom, plus air curtains and an almost completely sealed underbody help to optimise the car’s aerodynamics.
