BMW 4 Series (2020-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Exceptionally good to drive, even by BMW's high standards | Controversial looks, in particular the grille |
| Superb interior quality | Convertible sacrifices some practicality |
| Brilliant infotainment system | Adaptive suspension costs extra |
Quick Summary
The BMW 4 Series (2020-present) is a distinct model built on 3 Series underpinnings but featuring a lower ride height, wider rear axle, and more direct steering for enhanced driving dynamics. It boasts a superb interior with high-quality materials and practical space, including ample rear legroom and a 440-litre boot in the Coupe, expanding to 470 litres in the more versatile Gran Coupe. The Convertible, while slightly less rigid, remains one of the best-handling four-seat convertibles available.
Driving is a key strength, with the Coupe offering exceptional rigidity and refinement. The engine lineup, paired with an eight-speed automatic, ranges from the punchy 2.0-litre 420i to the powerful 3.0-litre M440i, alongside the efficient 420d diesel, which can achieve up to 61mpg. Despite its controversial styling, the 4 Series offers compelling performance, advanced tech, and strong residual values, making it a joy to own and drive daily.
Best for: Drivers seeking an exceptional driving machine with engaging performance, excellent refinement, a high-quality interior, advanced safety, and intuitive infotainment.
Not ideal for: Buyers sensitive to controversial styling (specifically the grille) or those who might find the Convertible slightly less taut to drive than the Coupe.

(24 reviews)Convertibles 4 series have suspect rear window sealing issues which can lead to collection of rainwater and subsequent swishing noises as water cant easily escape due to intended water escape route being blocked by n underneath panel. Needs DIY to drain (or £80-100 to get done at a dealer), Non convertibles are excellent - although rather uninspiring interiors and dashes compared to class rivals. Well screwed together though and these cars stick to the road superbly even when pushed.
The 435D XDrive M Sport, with the right upgrades has everything you need in a vehicle. Comfort, economy, stylish, and performance.
Series 4 28i Coupe... Had a few BMW cars this coupe has a vibrant engine with good acceleration and pickup. Great lines and a handsome flonger than l thought but good boot While two door accessibility is good. Its a 4 seater and seats are comfortable with good setting controls. Leather upholstery sets off the dignified interior. Class act.
Lovely car good value for money great spec. Nice drive.
Dual purpose with hard top.loaded with extras.good miles per gallon.
