When it comes to the premium midsize segment, the number 4 stands for
the perfect combination of driving pleasure and elegant, sporty
design. These have been hallmark brand values of BMW since its
earliest days, and the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series
Convertible embody them now even more than ever.

dynamic character and exclusive style. New exterior paint finishes and
headlights with an extremely striking design and, the now optionally
available, Laserlight rear lights showcase the latest advances in the
exterior of the two models.
Step inside these sporty two-door models and the new features of
the cabin are immediately apparent: the revised design of the steering

Production of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4
Series Convertible will remain at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, which is
also the birthplace of many other executive class and luxury segment
cars from the brand, as well as the BMW 8 Series sports car and the
high-performance BMW M4 models.
Order books for the BMW 4 Series Coupé and BMW 4 Series
Convertible are open in the UK from today, with two variants to choose
from – the 420i M Sport and the M440i xDrive. The new BMW 4 Series is
available to order now priced from £43,020, with customer deliveries
beginning in spring 2024.
Global segment leaders sharpen the sporting profile of the BMW
brand.
The evolution of the BMW 4 Series range is
anchored in the product substance that has helped it achieve such
outstanding popularity across all the major car markets. In a market
dominated by German premium carmakers, the coupé and convertible enjoy
clear leads in their respective segments both globally and in their
key individual markets.
This sales success has been accompanied by an extraordinarily
high level of customer satisfaction. In customer surveys, both the BMW
4 Series Coupé and BMW 4 Series Convertible achieve excellent approval
ratings. Customers placed particular emphasis on the dynamic driving
characteristics and emotionally rich design of both models, as well as
a premium feel characterised by high material and build quality. By
attracting such positive responses from customers, the BMW 4 Series
models have made a significant contribution to further enhancing the
brand’s profile as a maker of dynamically exceptional and elegantly
sporty premium cars.
Distinct characters with a shared focus on driving
pleasure.
For the past two model generations, BMW has
grouped its premium midsize coupés and convertibles into their own
model range. This has highlighted their particularly intense focus on
delivering the driving pleasure for which the brand is renowned. The
differentiation between the new BMW 4 Series models and the BMW 3
Series in terms of design can be found not only in their proportions
and lines, but also their distinctive front-end visuals. Wider tracks
and specific tuning for their chassis technology lay the groundwork
for superlative dynamic prowess. Within the BMW 4 Series range, the
coupé and convertible models represent distinct characters whose
individual vehicle concepts target different priorities.
The BMW 4 Series Coupé combines its dynamically flowing lines
and elegantly stretched proportions with a body optimised for extra
handling agility and boasting exceptional torsional rigidity, plus a
chassis tuned squarely for dynamic excellence. The individual-seat
character of the two rear seats helps to ensure that the passengers in
the second row also enjoy an exceptional driving experience. The
folding function of the three-section split rear seat bench increases
the versatility of the interior when it comes to accommodating larger
items for leisure activities and longer trips away.
Meanwhile, passengers in the BMW 4 Series Convertible’s four
seats can sample the sporty driving experience characteristic of the 4
Series together with the joy of open-top motoring. A highlight feature
specific to the BMW 4 Series Convertible is its panel bow soft-top
roof, which combines the solidity of a retractable hardtop with the
classical aesthetic of a fabric hood. The roof’s electric drive
mechanism can be activated while travelling at up to 31 mph; the
opening/closing process takes 18 seconds.
Exterior Design.
Striking visual cues point the way to
captivating dynamics.
Sporting potency and elegance
are the key themes reflected with authenticity in the design of the
BMW 4 Series models. Precise modifications to their exterior visuals
enable the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible to
express their unique characters even more clearly. The new features
sharpen the profile of the two models and provide eye-catching
pointers to their captivating dynamics, exclusivity and technological advances.
With their distinctive lines and clean surface treatment in the
brand’s modern design language, the coupé and convertible members of
the BMW 4 Series line-up exude driving pleasure and inimitable style.
With front foglamps no longer fitted, the generous surfaces of the
front apron on the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series
Convertible now have even greater visual impact. The features of the M
Sport add further punch to the cars’ dynamic appearance. They include
a diffuser element in the lower section of the rear bumper, which is
now painted in Black high-gloss. In addition, the exhaust tailpipes
integrated into the rear apron on the left and right have grown from
90 millimetres to 100 millimetres in diameter. As an extension to the
M Sport package, customers can also order their cars with the M Sport
package Pro and M Carbon exterior package.
Newly designed headlights, innovative Laserlight rear
lights.
Design cues specific to the BMW 4 Series include
the visually powerful front end shaped by slim LED headlights and a
vertically arranged BMW kidney grille. The air intakes of the
strikingly forward-angled grille have a mesh structure for M Sport
models.. Their surround now comes in matte chrome.
The new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible also
feature visually and functionally upgraded headlights. The LED units
in their inner workings, which provide all the light functions, have
been redesigned and have a new structure. Low and high beam are
generated from a single LED module. And a pair of vertical and subtly
arrow-shaped LED units house the side light, daytime driving light and
turn signal indicator functions. The technically focused look of the
new light sources gives the headlights a high-quality and progressive appearance.
Adaptive LED Headlights with non-dazzling matrix high beam are
available as an option. They can be identified by blue inlays and
include urban lights and a cornering light function. The prism
structure of the LED units for the urban lights provides a striking
contrast against the uniform illumination of the daytime driving light units.
Also offered as part of the M Sport package Pro and if the
Adaptive LED Headlights are specified are M Shadowline lights with
dark inner accents. If the optional Comfort Access is fitted, the
headlights generate a Welcome Light Animation once the driver and
vehicle key come within three metres of the car.
The new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible
specified with Adaptive LED Headlights are also fitted with
super-expressive Laserlight rear lights. This model-specific version
of an innovative lighting effect employs a technology first seen in
the BMW M4 CSL high-performance special edition produced in a limited
run of 1,000 examples. Here, laser diodes each illuminate a fibre
optic bundle, giving the rear units an intricate light graphic. The
precise lines of the three-dimensional Laserlight gives these rear
lights – which are making their debut in a volume-produced car – an
exclusive and unmistakable design.
New exterior paint shades and light-alloy
wheels.
Customers can give the outside of their new BMW
4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible a personal touch with
a choice of two solid and eight metallic paint finishes. Cape York
Green metallic and Fire Red metallic are new additions to the range.
And a wide variety of BMW Individual paint finishes and BMW Individual
special paint finishes are also offered.
Attractive new additions can also be found in the selection of
optional light-alloy wheels. The new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4
Series Convertible are both offered for the first time with two new
19-inch variants. The new M light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke design can
be ordered in either Jet Black or a bi-colour finish.
Interior and equipment.
Progressive style and an aura of
carefully honed refinement.
Standard-fitted sport
seats and newly designed steering wheels feed into the intensity of
the driving experience in the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4
Series Convertible. The large BMW Curved Display brings a fresh and
particularly modern interpretation of the driver focus for which the
brand is renowned. High-quality, meticulously crafted materials and a
new operating concept for ventilation and climate control systems add
to the cockpit’s premium allure. The modifications carried out to the
interior of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series
Convertible ensure those on board can enjoy driving pleasure with
progressive style and long-distance comfort in an ambience of
carefully honed refinement.
Among the cutting-edge new features is a version of the
optionally available seat surfaces that is making its debut in the new
BMW 4 Series Coupé and is produced using more sustainable methods.
Added to which, new interior trim strips are available for both the
coupé and convertible. And standard specification now also includes
ambient lighting and electrically folding exterior mirrors. The range
of optional equipment has been restructured to enable particularly
targeted individualisation.
New steering wheels with standard gearshift
paddles.
The latest-generation steering wheels
available for the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series
Convertible stand out with their modern and sporty design. As
standard, the driver will find in front of them a newly designed M
leather steering wheel in three-spoke design with a flat-bottomed rim
and a discreet centre marking.
The newly designed steering wheel has illuminated multifunction
buttons and gearshift paddles. Now fitted as standard, the paddles
enable particularly swift manual interventions in the gear selection
process and underscore the sharper sporting profile of the new BMW 4
Series models.
Detail revisions for the instrument panel, digital climate
control.
The introduction of the upgraded BMW iDrive
with QuickSelect also brings improved operation of the ventilation and
climate control functions in the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and in the new
BMW 4 Series Convertible. This is a prime example of advanced
digitalisation at work and enables a further reduction in the number
of physical buttons and controls in the cockpit. Temperature
selection, intensity of ventilation and – if the relevant features are
specified – seat and steering wheel heating can now be adjusted by
touch via the BMW Curved Display or by voice command with the help of
the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. New adjustment controls for
the air vent grilles in the centre of the instrument panel and on the
driver’s and front passenger side of the cockpit allow the direction
of airflow to be adjusted using rotating and tilting movements.
Specifying optional Sensatec trim for the instrument panel means
customers will now find a further refined surface structure which
further highlights the interior’s modern premium ambience.
The standard ambient lighting in the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and
new BMW 4 Series Convertible now also includes contour lighting
integrated into the trim around the central seam vents. Like the
lighting for the footwells, the storage compartment in the front
section of the centre console and the door openers, this can be
adjusted for colour and brightness according to personal preference.
Users can choose from nine colours. The functionality of the interior
lighting also includes an atmospheric Welcome and Goodbye Animation
and light signals indicating an open door or incoming phone call.
Premiere for M Performtex seat covers in the new BMW 4 Series
Coupé.
The new BMW 4 Series Coupé comes with seat
surfaces in black M Performtex as standard. Making its debut in a BMW
model, this velours covering combines high material quality and a
sporty design with low weight and a sustainability-optimised
production method. Alternatively the standard-fit sport seats can be
combined as an option with interior surfaces in Sensatec perforated.
Vernasca leather trim with decorative quilting is standard on
the new BMW 4 Series Convertible and is now also offered in the new
bi-colour variant Black/Red. Vernasca is also available as an option
for the new BMW 4 Series Coupé. Both models can also be specified with
BMW Individual Merino leather trim in three colours.
New interior trim strips, exclusive touches with
CraftedClarity.
The new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4
Series Convertible includes interior trim strips in Aluminium
Rhombicle Anthracite as standard, whilst Fineline Light Brown
open-pored and Grey Blue Ash open-pored fine-wood trim, and M interior
trim carbon fibre are available as options.
The use of extremely high-quality materials also allows
distinctive touches to be included in other areas of the interior to
enhance its modern premium character. Electroplated applications for
the control panel in the doors, which includes the window controls and
locking switch, are available for the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and the
new BMW 4 Series Convertible. And customers can also specify
CraftedClarity glass applications – another new addition to the
options list. These give the gear selector lever, BMW iDrive
Controller and Start/Stop button a particular air of exclusivity, both
visually and in how they feel to the touch.
Powertrain and driving experience.
Powerful, efficient
and supremely assured.
The line-up of powertrains for
the new BMW 4 Series range comprises powerful and highly efficient
petrol engines featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and
electrification in the form of 48V mild hybrid technology. All the
drive units deliver an exceptional blend of sporting driving pleasure
and fuel economy, all are part of the current modular generation of
Efficient Dynamics engines and all are paired with an eight-speed
Steptronic Sport transmission as standard. The shift paddles on the
steering wheel, allow quick manual interventions in the gear selection
process, adding to the dynamic driving experience.
Straight-six engines can be found under the bonnet of the M
Performance versions in both model series. The line-up also includes a
four-cylinder petrol engine developing 184 hp. The engine’s power is
fed to the road via either classical rear-wheel drive or the BMW
xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system fitted to the M440i models.
Mild hybrid technology optimises power delivery and
efficiency.
The six-cylinder in-line engine available
for the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible, come
with 48V mild hybrid technology for sharper power delivery and greater
efficiency. The auxiliary electric drive takes the form of a 48V
starter generator and makes output of 11 hp instantly available in
response to the slightest movement of the accelerator. This electric
boost enhances the drive system’s dynamic response when accelerating
off the line and putting in mid-range bursts of speed. The electric
drive unit also assists the engine when travelling at a constant
speed, allowing it to operate within an efficiency-optimised load
range as often as possible.
The mild hybrid system additionally allows the use of electric
power recuperated via Brake Energy Regeneration and stored in a 48V
battery. The energy harvested efficiently in this way is not only used
for the auxiliary electric drive, but also fed to the 12V electrical
system with the help of a voltage transformer. This allows the
vehicle’s electrical consumers to be operated even more efficiently.
Bespoke chassis technology for a sporty driving
experience.
Excellent body rigidity, intelligent
lightweight design, 50:50 weight distribution and optimised
aerodynamic properties provide an ideal basis for endowing the new BMW
4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible with remarkably agile
and dynamic handling abilities. This is further helped by
sophisticated chassis technology that has been tuned precisely for the
weight spread at hand.
Lift-related dampers refine the balance between captivating
sporting prowess and superb long-distance comfort. M Sport suspension
is fitted as standard, with optional adaptive M suspension available
to further customise the car’s character.
Wide variety of systems for automated driving and
parking.
The range of systems for automated driving and
parking is just as extensive. The new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4
Series Convertible are fitted as standard with the front collision
warning system with brake intervention, Cruise Control with brake
function, Speed Limit Info with no-overtaking indicator, manual Speed
Limit Assist and Lane Departure Warning with lane return. The standout
optional extra is the Driving Assistant Professional package
comprising the Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Active Cruise
Control with Stop&Go function, automatic Speed Limit Assist, route
speed control and traffic light recognition.
Park Distance Control with sensors at both the front and rear is
also part of standard specification. The Parking Assistant, which also
comes as standard, enables automated manoeuvring into and out of
parking spaces, as well as featuring a Reversing Assist Camera and the
Reversing Assistant. There is also the option of the Parking Assistant
Plus with Park View, Panorama View and Remote 3D View functions.
The M Performance models in the new BMW 4 Series range.
Distinctive characters top the model range.
The
new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible range is
spearheaded by elite sporting models cast in the familiar M mould. The
performance cars from BMW M GmbH showcase the dynamic potential woven
into the vehicle concepts of the BMW 4 Series range to highly
impressive effect. Extremely powerful six-cylinder in-line engines, a
bespoke chassis set-up and signature M design cues both inside and out
mark them out as a proposition apart.
The M Performance models in the BMW 4 Series are available in
the UK with a 3.0 litre petrol engine. The M-typical performance
attributes of the straight-six petrol units are underpinned by, among
other things, the latest M TwinPower Turbo technology. The 48V mild
hybrid technology, with an output of 11 hp, also produces an electric
boost effect that gives the engines even sharper response.
The six-cylinder in-line petrol engine in the BMW M440i xDrive
Coupé and BMW M440i xDrive Convertible generates maximum output of 374
hp and peak torque of 500 Nm (369 lb-ft). M Sport suspension with
variable sport steering can be found on the standard equipment list
for the range-topping models, along with an eight-speed Steptronic
Sport transmission with an ultra-sharp shift action, M Sport brakes
and the M Sport differential.
New-look BMW kidney grille, black tailpipe finishers as
standard.
An array of select design flourishes
announces the dynamic character of the M Performance models even more
vividly. For instance, the new edition of these models features a BMW
kidney grille with a surround in Black high-gloss and horizontally
arranged bars adorned by an M logo. All the front apron elements that
were previously finished in Cerium Grey now come in Black high-gloss.
As a result, the models’ appearance when viewed from the front recalls
the design of the BMW M4 high-performance sports cars to an even
greater extent.
At the rear end of the M Performance models, trapezoidal
tailpipe trim signals the presence of the ultra-potent power unit
under the bonnet. They are now in Black high-gloss as standard,
meaning that all elements of the M High-gloss Shadowline trim option
are already included in the standard specification of these models.
Exclusive touches: M exterior mirror caps, carbon fibre
diffuser.
Another design element from the BMW M4 range
has been incorporated into the flanks of the latest M Performance
models from the BMW 4 Series, with M exterior mirrors in twin-stalk
design included as a standard feature.
The optional M Carbon exterior package comprises exterior mirror
caps and inserts for the outer air intakes made from carbon
fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP). The new BMW 4 Series Coupé also
sports a carbon-fibre Gurney lip rear spoiler. This optional extra
also adds a carbon-fibre diffuser in the lower section of the rear
apron that is exclusive to the M Performance models.
Heightened sports car ambience in the cabin on M Performance
models.
Sport seats trimmed in the new M Performtex
upholstery for Coupé models and Vernasca leather for the Convertible,
interior trim elements in Aluminium Rhombicle Anthracite, M door sill
trim, M pedals, an M driver’s footrest and M-specific graphics for the
BMW Curved Display characterise the distinctive aura inside the M
Performance models. M Sport seats trimmed in Vernasca leather can be
specified as an option for the range-topping versions of the new BMW 4
Series Coupé and are available in a choice of Black with blue contrast
quilting or the new Black/Coral Red bi-colour finish.
A new version of the M leather steering wheel turns up the
sports car feel inside the flagship models another notch. Its
flat-bottomed rim, red centre marker and contrast stitching in BMW M
GmbH colours help to make the driving experience aboard the M
Performance models in the new BMW 4 Series range even more engaging.
Display and control/operation system, connectivity.
The
new BMW Operating System 8.5 and innovative digital
services.
The advances made in terms of digitalisation
in the latest edition of the BMW 4 Series are also clear to see. This
is mainly thanks to the upgraded BMW iDrive display and
control/operation system with QuickSelect based on BMW Operating
System 8.5. In order to provide intuitive, easy control of numerous
functions along with access to innovative digital services, the
latest-generation BMW iDrive system fitted in the new BMW 4 Series
Coupé and the new BMW 4 Series Convertible features a new-look home
screen and QuickSelect rapid access tech, bringing an improved menu
structure that takes its cue from consumer electronics devices.
The enhanced BMW iDrive featuring QuickSelect is packaged
together with the BMW Curved Display and BMW Intelligent Personal
Assistant, meaning it has been carefully geared to operation using the
touchscreen and natural language. The control/operation system in the
new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible additionally
comprises multifunction buttons on the steering wheel and, as an
option, the BMW Head-Up Display. The new BMW iDrive helps to deliver a
focused, assured driving experience by showing the right information
in the right place.
BMW iDrive with QuickSelect: functions shown on a single level
and selectable with rapid-access tech.
The new BMW
Operating System 8.5 home screen continuously displays the navigation
system’s map view or other individually configurable graphics on the
control display. On the same level, widgets appear in a vertical
arrangement on the driver’s side of the display. Drivers can switch
between them with a vertical swipe of the finger. The QuickSelect
feature allows the function selected in this way to be activated
directly without having to enter a submenu. And once the relevant
settings have been chosen, a quick tap on the home icon at the lower
edge of the control display is all it takes to return to the home
screen. Icons for direct access to the climate control menu, All Apps
menu and, if activated, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ can also now
be found next to the home icon.
The new flat menu structure makes it much easier to activate the
desired functions and settings. The digital content – just like the
hardware in the form of the BMW Curved Display – is designed to
enhance the driver focus for which BMW is renowned.
BMW Maps navigation system now with Augmented
View.
The cloud-based BMW Maps navigation system forms
part of the standard BMW Live Cockpit Plus. Following the introduction
of BMW Operating System 8.5 in the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW
4 Series Convertible, the system now makes it even easier to input
destinations and can offer additional information while driving.
Another new feature is the Augmented View function which, like
the BMW Head-Up Display, is available by specifying the optional BMW
Live Cockpit Professional. This supplements the navigation system’s
map display by showing a live video stream of the driver’s view on the
control display or instrument cluster and augmenting it with tips and
information to match the context. At confusing junctions, for
instance, an animated directional arrow is integrated into the video
image to help the driver take the best turn-off for the planned route.
The Augmented View function can also come to the driver’s aid when
searching for a parking spot by showing supplementary information.
Personalisation using the BMW ID and My BMW
App.
Drivers of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW
4 Series Convertible will also find it easier to use their BMW ID to
personalise the user experience. In future, signing in to the vehicle
by using a smartphone to scan a QR code is all it will take to import
the customer’s personal profile, synchronise settings and
automatically link the key detected in the vehicle with the BMW ID.
The vehicle is also added to the My BMW App without the customer
having to do anything. Available free of charge from the app stores
for both iOS and Android, the My BMW App acts as a universal digital
interface that provides information at any time on the vehicle’s
status, for example, its remaining range and any servicing and
maintenance requirements. Depending on the car’s specification, it
also enables remote operation of functions such as locating the
vehicle, locking and unlocking the doors or monitoring the car’s
immediate vicinity and interior with Remote View. The My BMW app can
additionally be used to send destination addresses from a smartphone
to the vehicle’s navigation system. The My Trips feature including
Efficiency Trainer and monthly review provides the user with data and
evaluations for distances travelled, fuel consumption and average speed.
Optimum connectivity with Personal eSIM and 5G mobile
standard.
Customers of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and
the news BMW 4 Series Convertible can activate the Personal eSIM as
standard, in addition to the vehicle’s built-in mobile SIM. This
enables the vehicle to use the 5G mobile communications standard. The
Personal eSIM allows the customer to use the communications and
connectivity functions covered by their mobile contract from their car
with ease – even in situations where they don’t have their smartphone
with them. This also includes data streaming via the WiFi hotspot.
A low-radiation connection to the vehicle’s exterior antenna is
used for making phone calls and streaming data via the Personal eSIM.
All phone functions can be operated with the BMW iDrive system or the
BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. The Personal eSIM can be used in
all countries where BMW Connected Drive services are available. It
extends the customer’s existing mobile phone contract, which may
result in additional costs.
Taking steps to further reduce the company’s carbon
footprint.
Highly efficient engines, intelligent
lightweight design and optimised aerodynamic attributes make a
significant contribution to enhancing driving pleasure in the new BMW
4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible, at the same time as
lowering fuel consumption and emissions. Meanwhile, the 48V mild
hybrid technology deployed on certain models sharpens power delivery
and improves efficiency. As well as the bonnet, front side panels and
doors, numerous chassis components are also made from aluminium. And
with a Cd as low as 0.25 in the case of the coupé and as low as 0.27
for the convertible, the two models can claim an impressive drag coefficient.
The sport seats for the new BMW 4 Series Coupé are trimmed in M
Performtex – the first time this surface material has been available
in the brand’s models – as part of a new production process generating
lower CO2 emissions. The new EfficiencyCoach in the My BMW App offers
helpful tips for more efficient driving. To this end, this assistant
system analyses the fuel consumption figures and compares them with
both the figures from the previous month and those achieved by other
drivers in the community with comparable engines. It then uses this
information as the basis for recommendations on more efficient driving.
In the interests of creating an even more sustainable overall
concept, growing importance is attached to the use of secondary raw
materials –alongside further optimised use of materials and
energy-optimised production methods. For the BMW brand, the twin goals
of increasing sustainability and achieving premium standards are
inextricably linked, rather than competing factors.
As well as working tirelessly to optimise vehicle efficiency,
the BMW Group is committed to the Paris Climate Agreement. And it has
teamed up with the renowned Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to
put in place CO2e reduction targets for its supply chain, production
and use phase as part of its drive to achieve climate neutrality. At
the heart of the company’s ambitious sustainability goals is the aim
of cutting CO2 emissions by 40 per cent per vehicle across the entire
value chain by 2030, compared with the figure from 2019. At the same
time, the BMW Group is pursuing the objective of full climate
neutrality throughout the value chain by 2050 at the latest.
Original BMW Accessories and BMW M Performance Parts for even
more customisation.
In addition to the M Sport
package, M Sport package Pro and M Carbon exterior package available
as factory-fit options, the BMW M Performance Parts range offers
further scope to sharpen the profile of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and
new BMW 4 Series Convertible.
The model-specific retrofit options from the Original BMW
Accessories range have been developed using the proven expertise of
BMW M GmbH in motorsport. They underscore the dynamic aura of the new
BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible and rise to the
technical challenges presented by the need for lightweight design and
aerodynamics. With exclusive design, high-class materials and
top-notch quality, these items for the exterior, chassis and cockpit
go the extra mile to transfer the feel of the race track to the road.
Among the items available to enhance the cars with further
race-inspired looks are the M Performance front ornamental grille
carbon fibre and the M Performance side sill attachment part carbon
fibre. The light-alloy wheels available for the new BMW 4 Series Coupé
and new BMW 4 Series Convertible likewise enhance their visual
exclusivity and can be ordered in 18-inch or 19-inch format. Also
offered are 20-inch M Performance forged wheels. With their
weight-reduced construction and fitment with mixed-size/sports tyres
for optimised transfer of cornering forces, they also enhance the
dynamic performance of the cars. Interior equipment highlights include
the M Performance seat back pans in Alcantara/carbon fibre, the M
Performance interior trim strips carbon fibre and the M Performance
door sill trim carbon fibre.
