The
All-New BMW 4 Series Coupe
The all-new BMW 4 Series Coupe marks the
beginning of a new era for coupes at BMW. Launched as the
latest generation of BMW’s sporty mid-size Coupe, the new
BMW 4 Series Coupe embodies the very essence of dynamics
and aesthetic appeal in the premium segment. The “4” in
its title headlines this new product line for the Coupe
and emphasizes not only its stand-out design, but that any
way you look at it, the new 4 Series Coupe represents
something more than its BMW 3 Series cousins – 3+1, if you
will. At the same time, as a true BMW Coupe, the new
nomenclature brings the new BMW 4 Series Coupe in line
with the larger 6 Series and 8 Series Coupes.
The new BMW 4 Series Coupe will be offered as both a 428i,
featuring BMW’s award-winning TwinPower Turbo 2.0-liter
4-cylinder and as a 435i with the multi-award winning Twin
Power Turbo 3.0-liter inline six. Both will be available
with a standard 8-speed sport automatic or six-speed
manual transmission. Both will also be offered with a
choice of rear-wheel drive or with optional xDrive, BMW’s
intelligent all-wheel drive system. The 2014 BMW 428i
Coupe will have a base MSRP of $41,425, and the 2014 BMW
435i Coupe will have a starting price of $46,925. Both
prices include destination and handling. The 2014 428i
xDrive Coupe and 435i xDrive will start from $43,425 and
48,925 respectively, again inclusive of destination and
handling. All four variants of the BMW 4 Series Coupe will
arrive in US showrooms late this summer.
The new BMW 4 Series Coupe is visibly larger in width and
wheelbase than the outgoing BMW 3 Series Coupe, and its
stretched silhouette sits considerably lower to the road.
This, together with its BMW-typical short overhangs, long
hood and set-back passenger compartment with flowing
roofline, give the BMW 4 Series Coupe a visual balance.
The car’s striking front end – with its characteristic BMW
design features, such as the double-kidney grille, four
round headlights and a large air intake in the front apron
– is keen to display its family ties with the BMW 3
Series. New elements of the BMW 4 Series Coupe are the Air
Breathers, which are positioned rearwards of the front
wheel arches to reduce drag. The Coupe’s muscular wheel
arches and wide track give an aggressive stance, with its
prominent horizontal lines. 072013
