BMW 4 Series due in October
BMW has announced the all-new, second generation 2021 4 Series Coupe which first launched in 2014. Compared to the previous generation 4 Series Coupe, the new 4 Series is 5.2-inches longer, 1.0-inch wider, 0.4-inches taller and features a 1.6-inch longer wheelbase and 1.4-inch wider front and 1.2 inch wider rear tracks. The front end of the 4 Series features a new BMW kidney grille design which provides adequate cooling for the more powerful engines. The grille is angled forward and extends to the bottom of the front bumper cover. The kidney grille is framed by surfaces with a threedimensional mesh structure. The arrow-shaped lines of the hood come together at the grille while the Air Curtain intakes at the edges of the front bumper highlight the 4 Series’ width. Standard LED headlights with Cornering lights are slimmer in design and taper towards the kidney grille. Two U-shaped daytime running light elements in each headlight are the most pronounced feature. The turn signals consist of three glass blade units in the corners of each front light assembly. The M Sport Package includes a uniquely styled front bumper with larger air intake openings and a restyled rear bumper with Shadowline inlays. All models of the new 4 Series enjoy a boost in horsepower and torque over the models they replace. Powering the new 430i and 430i xDrive coupe is an updated B46 2.0-litre four-cylinder BMW TwinPower turbocharged engine delivering 255 hp (an increase of seven hp) and 294 ft/lb (an increase of 36 ft/lb.). The 430i Coupe accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds (5.3 Seconds for 430i xDrive Coupe) and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph or 130 mph depending on the selected wheel and tire combination. The new M440i xDrive Coupe is powered by the B58 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder BMW TwinPower turbocharged engine producing 382 (an increase of 62 hp) and 369 ft/lb (an increase of 39 ft/lb). The M440i xDrive Coupe accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph or 130 mph depending on the selected wheel and tire combination. The 430i Coupe is available in a choice of either traditional rear-wheel-drive or with BMW’s latest intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive system offering additional traction during both performance driving and in varied weather conditions.
