Singapore. BMW Asia today announced the availability of the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, further building on their unique status in the marketplace with targeted upgrades in aesthetic appeal, driving pleasure, electrification and digitalisation. The new BMW i4 will continue to deliver locally emission-free mobility in the brand’s hallmark style while the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé underscores its sporting elegance with a precisely modified design.

“At BMW, we firmly believe in the power of choice,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “Regardless of the drivetrain, the emotional experience behind the wheel of a BMW Series 4 Series is ever present. Here in Singapore, our customers expect a superior drive and stylish companion for all occasions. Therefore, with these fresh updates, we are confident that the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé will continue to set the benchmark in the premium midsize class.”

The popularity of the BMW i4 also represents an endorsement of the BMW Group’s ‘technology-open’ approach in the current ramp-up phase of electric mobility. The all-electric gran coupé was developed on the basis of a flexible drive system architecture. Similar vehicle concepts now also enable BMW 7 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW X1, BMW X2, and BMW X3 model variants with combustion engines, plug-in hybrid systems, and all-electric drive to be offered alongside one another.

The new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé are built at the BMW Group’s home plant in Munich, whose transformation into a production facility geared exclusively to all-electric models is being fuelled by substantial investment. The green electricity needed for production will come from hydroelectric power stations in the region.

New design for the BMW kidney grille, headlights, and rear lights.

Slim headlights and a vertically arranged BMW kidney grille dropping deep towards the road headline the front-end styling of the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. A refreshed design brings additional visual impact to these signature brand features. The surround of the BMW kidney grille is now finished in matt chrome. Due to the low cooling requirement of the electric drive system, the BMW kidney grille of the new BMW i4 has a fully enclosed upper section, below which is a Black high-gloss surface topped by a matt-silver honeycomb pattern. The air intakes on the combustion-engine model of the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé have a mesh structure whose surfaces are now painted in matt Quartz Silver.

As well as a front apron with large side air intakes, the standard M Sport package for the new BMW i4 also includes 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 of the combustion-engine model have grown from 90 millimetres to 100 millimetres in diameter.

The visually and functionally upgraded headlights also play their part in the modern appearance of the front end. The new structure of their LED units creates a technically focused look. Low and high beam are generated from a single LED module. A pair of vertical and subtly arrow-shaped LED units house the side light, daytime driving light, and turn signal indicator functions. Comfort Access is fitted, and the new headlights generate a Welcome Light Animation once the driver and vehicle key come within three metres of the car.

The Adaptive LED Headlights comes as standard, which has blue inlays, non-dazzling matrix high beam, 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. All models of the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé are also fitted with highly expressive rear Laserlight. This model-specific version of an innovative lighting effect employs a technology first seen in the BMW M4 CSL. Here, laser diodes each illuminate a fibre optic bundle, giving the rear units an intricate light graphic. This creates an exclusive light design at the rear as well.

The new BMW i4 M50 xDrive meanwhile underlines its extremely sporty character with M-specific design features producing eye-catching visuals featuring a BMW kidney grille with a Black high-gloss surround and horizontally arranged bars adorned by a BMW M logo. And the front apron elements that were previously finished in Cerium Grey also come in Black high-gloss. As a result, the front-end styling is now even more closely related to the design of the BMW M4 high-performance sports cars.

New exterior paint finishes and aerodynamic wheels.

The selection of exterior paint finishes for the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé now also comprises the new Cape York Green metallic and Fire Red metallic shades. A wide variety of BMW Individual paint finishes and BMW Individual special paint finishes are also offered. The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé comes with 18-inch M aerodynamic wheels as standard, while the new BMW i4 has 19-inch M aerodynamic wheels. The range-topping new BMW i4 M50 xDrive rides on 19-inch M light-alloy wheels as standard.

New interior accents target progressive sporting appeal.

The modifications to the interior of the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé are focused on digitalization and achieving a sharper sporting profile. 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 airflow direction to be adjusted using rotating and tilting movements.

The new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé are fitted as standard with sport seats in Sensatec perforated.

In the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive, the standard M Sport seats are also trimmed in the luxurious Vernasca leather. Also to be found as standard in the M Performance model are interior trim elements in Carbon Fibre, M door sill trim, M pedals, an M driver's footrest, an anthracite-coloured headliner and M-specific graphics for the BMW Curved Display.

Newly designed steering wheels, gearshift paddles now standard.

The newly designed M leather steering wheel also feed into the enhanced sporting allure of the interior. It has a three-spoke design with a flat bottomed rim and a discreet centre marking in the 12 o’clock position comes as standard in the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé and new BMW i4.

The M leather steering wheel in the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé also comes equipped with gearshift paddles as standard. The two paddles – on the left-hand and right-hand steering wheel spokes – enable super-swift manual interventions in the gear selection process of the eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission.

The M leather steering wheel in the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive also comes with decorative stitching in BMW M colours and a red centre marker, further adding to the performance experience in the cockpit.

High-quality materials, adjustable ambient lighting.

Interior trim finishers in Fine-Brushed Aluminium feature as standard in the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, helping to create a premium ambience of renewed sophistication on board.

The ambient lighting – also now standard – 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.

The new additions to the options list also include the instrument panel Luxury in Sensatec with a further refined surface structure, which features on the door shoulders too. This is standard on the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive. Load compartment capacity can be extended as required from 470 litres to a maximum 1,290 litres.

Powertrain and charging technology: Bringing fresh energy to sporty driving pleasure.

The flexible drive system architecture of the gran coupé for the premium midsize class allows it to be combined with both all-electric drive systems and highly efficient combustion engines. The new cars channel their power to the road via classical rear wheel drive.

Playing a key role in enhancing the sporty driving pleasure available in the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is the eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission now fitted as standard with the combustion engines. It offers an ultra-sharp shift action and also enables swift manual interventions in the gear selection process. All the petrol models feature gearshift paddles on the steering wheel for this purpose.

Chassis technology and driver assistance systems: Dynamism, comfort, safety, and a hallmark BMW driving experience.

The extremely rigid body and chassis mountings, intelligent lightweight design, low centre of gravity, almost perfect 50 : 50 weight distribution and optimised aerodynamic properties provide all the necessary ingredients for a well-rounded vehicle character.

The double-joint spring strut front axle and five-link rear axle have likewise been engineered to reduce weight while increasing rigidity. Electromechanical steering with Servotronic function, an integrated braking system, the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system and near actuator wheel slip limitation all come as standard too.

Model-specific chassis technology with a bespoke set-up.

The sophisticated chassis technology combines with the model-specific design and set-up of all components to ensure an ideal blend of sporting flair and ride comfort in all powertrain variants. In the new BMW i4, for instance, the high-voltage battery is firmly bolted to the floor assembly, while its casing serves as a load-bearing structural element to maximise torsional stiffness. Like the combustion-engine model in the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé range, the new BMW i4 is additionally fitted with integral tower-to-front end struts, an aluminium shear panel at the front end and underfloor bracing elements in the rear axle area.

The lift-related dampers are another factor in the harmonious handling characteristics of the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. Depending on the spring travel, these provide extra damping to control body movement when driving over large bumps and inhibit excessive dive. Meanwhile, the system reacts to minor imperfections in the road surface with low damping forces that produce high levels of comfort.

All-electric new BMW i4 M50 xDrive takes pole position.

The new BMW i4 M50 xDrive embodies a particularly intense distillation of signature M performance in all-electric guise. Its peak output even exceeds that of the new BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé, which has a six cylinder in-line petrol engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology under its bonnet.

Two highly integrated drive units bringing together an electric motor, power electronics and transmission within a single housing help the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive to top the output rankings. The electric motor driving the rear wheels and the unit at the front axle come together to create an electric all-wheel-drive system which is controlled quickly and precisely to ensure effortless progress in any driving situation. The fully variable system means power can always be distributed to optimum effect — from highly efficient pure rear-wheel drive through to an all wheel-drive set-up that maximises traction.

A specially designed boost function is available to the driver in SPORT mode to initiate extremely dynamic power delivery from both electric motors. This increases maximum combined output by 50 kW/68 hp to 400 kW/544 hp for over 10 seconds, at the same time as boosting maximum combined torque by 65 Nm to 795 Nm. Activating the Sport Boost function enables the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive to sprint from rest to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 225 km/h.

M-specific chassis technology for smile-inducing performance.

The range-topping model is equipped with chassis technology tailored specifically to its drive system's performance characteristics. The adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers featured on the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive include variable sport steering. Its stunning performance capabilities are also partly down to its M Sport brakes.

Charging in Singapore.

To make electromobility simple and straightforward for customers, today, BMW Asia continues this partnership by offering BMW EV customers either a comprehensive home or public charging package:

• For home charging, customers will receive a BMW Wallbox with complimentary installation service.
• For public charging, customers will receive a subscription package of 10,000kWh over 3 years at Shell Recharge stations with no monthly cap for charging. This is equivalent to 50,000km of driving range (assuming average energy consumption of 20kWh/100km).

The BMW Wallbox provides a fast way to charge their vehicle at a rate of up to 22kW. Once the vehicle is plugged in, charging begins and will end automatically when the battery is fully charged or has reached its pre-determined level.

BMW Charging gives drivers access to one of the largest networks of public charging stations located in various office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, and industrial parks in Singapore. Activation of and payment for the chargers can be done through an RFID card or the Shell Recharge smartphone app.

Wide variety of driver assistance systems.

An array of advanced assistance systems are on hand to enhance comfort and safety when driving and parking the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. The front collision warning system with brake intervention and Cruise Control with brake function are both fitted as standard, along with Speed Limit Info with no-overtaking indicator, manual Speed Limit Assist and Lane Departure Warning with lane return.

Park Distance Control with sensors at both the front and rear comes as standard, as does the Parking Assistant. This system enables automated manoeuvring into and out of parking spaces, and also features a Reversing Assist Camera and the Reversing Assistant. The new BMW i4 M50 xDrive comes with Parking Assistant Plus as standard, with Park View, Panorama View and Remote 3D View functions.

Display and control / operation system, connectivity: BMW Operating System 8.5 and innovative digital services.

The latest generation of the BMW iDrive display and control/operation system with QuickSeIect based on BMW Operating System 8.5 opens up a new way of intuitively controlling vehicle functions and accessing digital services in the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. With the digital BMW Curved Display screen grouping and the expanded capabilities of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, the driver-centric cockpit has been geared squarely to operation using touch control and natural language.

The climate control functions are also operated digitally in the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, enabling a further reduction in the number of physical buttons and controls. The control/operation system additionally comprises multifunction buttons on the steering wheel, the BMW iDrive Controller and the optional BMW Head-Up Display, which is standard on the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive.

BMW iDrive with QuickSeIect: functions shown on a single level and selectable with rapid-access tech.

The system's QuickSeIect feature paves the way for an improved menu structure that takes its cue from consumer electronics devices. It allows the driver to navigate to functions directly from the newly arranged home screen without having to enter submenus. The new, flat menu structure makes it much easier to switch between different functions and helps the driver to focus their attention on what's happening on the road.

The new home screen continuously displays the navigation system's map view or other individually configurable graphics on the control display. On the same level, there is a vertical bar on the driver's side of the display containing widgets that can now be individually selected and arranged. The new BMW i4 also includes a widget for the charging functions. Some of the widgets can also be swiped horizontally to show additional content. The related functions can then be called up directly with QuickSelect. 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^TM  can also now be found next to the home icon.

BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with additional languages and new graphics.

At the same time, voice control using the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is set to become even more interactive and intuitive in the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. There is now a choice of two different looks for the graphics visualising the digital companion on the control display, with additional graphics also appearing here in response to selected voice commands. For instance, the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant acknowledges the request to look for a gas station nearby by showing the image of a fuel pump, enriching the dialogue between driver and vehicle.

BMW Maps navigation system with new charging-optimised route guidance and Augmented View.

The latest version of BMW Maps also gives the new BMW i4 drivers access both from the vehicle and via the My BMW App - to improved functions that enable charging-optimised route planning over long journeys at a level of precision no rival can match. The charging stops are planned so that the selected destination is reached as quickly as possible. The driver's preferred minimum charge level when arriving at mid-journey stops and the final destination can be adjusted in increments of five per cent and incorporated into the route planning. The system can also give preference to charging stations operated by selected providers and exclude others from the route planning at the driver's request. The system will then propose the latter only if there seems to be no alternative for an efficient route without any large detours.

Additional information is provided for the selected charging stations, such as supported connector types and payment options, as well as the availability of sanitary, catering or shopping facilities in the vicinity. The expected duration of the planned charging stop and the resulting electricity costs can also be shown in advance. The closer the vehicle gets to a scheduled mid-journey stop, the more frequently the availability of the charging point is checked so that an alternative route can be recommended in good time if necessary. Regardless of the charging optimised route given, a constant stream of alternative charging options are also displayed, e.g. for spontaneous mid-journey breaks.

The BMW Live Cockpit Professional, which comes as standard in the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive, adds not only the full-colour BMW Head-Up Display, but also the Augmented View function. This offers contextual, real-time information to complement 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 information that is currently relevant. 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.

Personalisation and remote access with BMW ID and My BMW App.

BMW Operating System 8.5 also makes it even easier to personalise the user experience in the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. Signing in to the vehicle by scanning a QR code with a smartphone is all it takes to import the customer's personal profile, load synchronisable settings and automatically link the key detected in the vehicle with the BMW ID.

The vehicle is also automatically added to the My BMW App. 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 on the vehicle's condition, charging status or remaining range at any time. Depending on the car's specification, it also gives the user access to various remote functions. For example, the vehicle can be located remotely via the My BMW App and the doors locked and unlocked. The Remote 3D View and Remote Inside View functions included with the standard Parking Assistant Plus in the new BMW i4 M50 xDrive give drivers the ability to call up a three dimensional live image of their vehicle's immediate vicinity on their smartphone.

Besides this, the My BMW App can also be used to send destination addresses from the user's smartphone to the vehicle's navigation system for route planning and to initiate, purchase or extend ConnectedDrive Upgrades. It is also possible to control the charging process and preconditioning for the new BMW i4 from the My BMW App. The My Trips feature including Efficiency Trainer and monthly review provides the user with data and evaluations for distances travelled, consumption and average speed, as well as offering helpful tips for driving more efficiently.

Optimum connectivity with Personal eSIM and 5G standard.

Customers of the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé can activate the Personal eSlM as standard - in addition to the vehicle's built-in mobile SIM. The Personal eSlM uses the 5G mobile communications standard and allows the customer to use the communications and connectivity features covered by their mobile contract, even when they don't have their smartphone with them.

All phone functions can be operated with the BMW iDrive system or the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. A low-radiation connection to the vehicle's exterior antenna is used for making phone calls and streaming data via the Personal eSlM.

Munich / Beijing. At Auto China 2024 in Beijing, the BMW Group presents the latest progress in its change towards electrification, digitalisation and circularity. World premieres of new BMW and MINI models take centre stage. The BMW Vision Neue Klasse, which heralds the next generation of BMW vehicles, is on show for the first time in China.

„With the NEUE KLASSE, we are carrying BMW into the future: in design, technology and philosophy. It begins already next year when we will release the NEUE KLASSE onto the market. Not with niche models – but starting in our most successful, highest-volume segments,“ says Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG.

The BMW Vision Neue Klasse signals the start of a new era of individual mobility and provides a glimpse of the BMW brand's future model generation. It is rich in digital experiences, locally emission-free and circular in the long term to ensure typical BMW driving pleasure for future generations. Production of the Neue Klasse series models will start in 2025, initially at the BMW Group plant in Debrecen and shortly afterwards in China.

The brand's most popular electric vehicle worldwide is currently the BMW i4, the new version of which will celebrate its world premiere at Auto China 2024. The success of the BMW i4 confirms the BMW Group's open technology approach, which makes it possible to produce vehicles with purely electric drive systems and highly efficient combustion engines on a common platform. In Beijing, the new BMW i4 will be shown to the public for the first time together with the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé's combustion engine variants, which have also been further developed.

The world premiere of the MINI Aceman at Auto China 2024 marks the third member of the brand's new model family. The all-electric crossover model closes the gap between the new MINI Cooper and the new MINI Countryman.

"What the NEUE KLASSE is to BMW, the New MINI Family is to MINI: the most desirable product range in the history of the brand and the biggest investment we ever made in MINI. At just over four metres long, the Aceman embodies the basic idea of the original, iconic MINI of 1959: progressive design, optimal use of space and a minimal footprint.," said Jochen Goller, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Customer, Brand and Sales.

The Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, in short: Auto China, is one of the most important trade fairs in the international automotive industry. The 18th edition of the exhibition, which alternates with Auto Shanghai, will be held under the theme "New Era, New Cars" and will be open to the public from 25 April to 4 May 2024. At the China International Exhibition Centre in Beijing, car manufacturers, suppliers and service providers from all over the world will present their new models, products and technologies. The BMW Group brands will present their current product range on an exhibition area of around 2,000 square metres.

China premiere: The BMW Vision Neue Klasse.

The BMW Vision Neue Klasse combines the BMW Group's innovative strength and development expertise in the key future fields of electrification, digitalisation and circularity. A reinterpretation of the brand's typical design goes hand in hand with the progress embodied by the Vision vehicle. A clear design language reduced to the essentials with generous surfaces and few striking lines creates an almost monolithic body. Characteristic features such as the BMW radiator grille and the Hofmeister kink counter-swing on the C-pillar. are brought into even sharper focus.

In the interior, the next generation of BMW iDrive offers a unique digital user experience that merges the real and virtual worlds. It consistently puts the driver and his needs at the centre. In addition to the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel and the Central Display, the driver can interact with the vehicle using the innovative BMW Panoramic Vision. For the first time, it projects information across the entire width of the windscreen and is complemented in the Neue Klasse series by the enhanced BMW 3D Head-Up Display. Analogue controls are reduced to a minimum in the BMW Vision Neue Klasse.

The increased use of secondary raw materials, resource-conserving production methods and all-electric drive with sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology will reduce the CO₂ footprint of the Neue Klasse over the entire life cycle of the vehicles. In order to increase recyclability and take a decisive step towards a circular economy, the variety of materials used has also been reduced. An improved dismantling concept also helps to optimise the recycling of Neue Klasse vehicles.

World premiere: The new BMW i4, the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé.

The appeal of pure electric premium mobility is also being consistently enhanced in the current model range of the BMW brand. The BMW i4 will be available in four model variants on the world's automotive markets as part of an extensive model revision. The Connected Home Charging Package for intelligent, solar- and load-optimised charging at home will be offered in the first pilot markets. The BMW i4 also offers the Plug & Charge Multi Contract function, which enables charging at fast charging stations without an app or card.

The latest advances in digitalisation are represented by the latest generation of BMW iDrive with QuickSelect based on BMW Operating System 8.5, which is available in both the new BMW i4 and the combustion engine models of the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. With the BMW Curved Display and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, the enhanced BMW iDrive is consistently geared towards operation via touch functions and natural speech. The digital update in the new BMW i4 and the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is accompanied by a redesign of the instrument panel. New steering wheels, interior trims and seat upholstery add modern accents to the premium ambience of all model variants.

On the exterior, the sporty profile of the premium mid-range models, which are extremely successful with both all-electric and conventional drive systems, has been sharpened by the redesign of the BMW radiator grille and headlights. In conjunction with the optional adaptive LED headlights, all models also feature exclusive laser rear lights. The range of exterior colours for the BMW i4 and the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé has been extended to include the new Cape York Green metallic and Fire Red metallic variants. New aerodynamic 19-inch and 20-inch wheels are also available.

World premiere: the new MINI Aceman.

With its all-electric drive, progressive crossover proportions and innovative digital features, the new MINI Aceman brings fresh impetus to the premium small car segment. It combines the brand's hallmark agility with creative use of space and high functionality, making it the ideal companion in the city. With four doors and a large tailgate, the MINI Aceman is just over four metres long and offers room for five passengers and plenty of storage space for everyday use and weekend excursions.

As a character in its own right, the MINI Aceman appeals to customers who value the expression of individuality and personality in an urban environment. Its reduced, purist exterior design with clearly defined contours and strong edges is an expression of the new MINI design language "Charismatic Simplicity".

The intelligent interior concept maximises space by cleverly arranging seats and stowage compartments to make the most of the available room. The expressive and colourful interior design is made possible by the use of high-quality materials and innovative technologies such as the 3D knitting process for the textile surfaces. The MINI Interaction Unit with circular OLED display, MINI Experience Modes and dynamic projections on the dashboard and door sills provide a holistic user experience of light, motion, interaction and sound.

Sporting elegance to the power of 4. 
The epitome of driving pleasure in the premium midsize class.

When it comes to the premium segment of the midsize class, the number 4 stands for the perfect combination of driving pleasure and elegantly 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 even more intently than ever. The precisely modified exterior design of the two models underscores their dynamic character and exclusive style. Modern touches and new equipment features bring a premium ambience of renewed sophistication to the interior. Here, the cutting-edge cockpit design, including the BMW Curved Display, provides the ideal stage for the latest evolution of BMW iDrive with QuickSelect, which is based on the new BMW Operating System 8.5.

New exterior paint finishes and light-alloy wheels, headlights with an extremely striking design for the light sources and the now optionally available Laserlight rear lights mark out the latest advances in the exterior of the two models. Step inside the sporting two-door models and the key new features of the cabin are immediately apparent: the revised design of the steering wheels and instrument panel, the seat coverings, the interior trim elements and the now optionally available CraftedClarity glass applications for selected controls. Alongside the introduction of the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect as standard, customers can now also choose to add an Augmented View display for the BMW Maps navigation system as an option on their new BMW 4 Series.

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. Its worldwide market launch will get underway in March 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.

The most important sales markets for the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible are the USA, Germany and China. Since the market launch of the current model generation of the BMW 4 Series Coupé, the US market has recorded the strongest demand. The BMW 4 Series Convertible has also been most popular in the USA to date.

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 intense driving experience. The folding function of the three-section split rear seat bench increases the versatility of the interior when it comes to accommodating 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 particularly stylish sense of elegance, for which the car’s low-slung silhouette is principally responsible, also comes as standard. 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 50 km/h (31 mph); the opening/closing process takes 18 seconds.

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 C_d 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.

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. The features of the optional M Sport package 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, both in standard form and if the M Sport package is specified. Their surround now comes in matt 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.

Examples of 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.

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 and diesel 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 mated to an eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission as standard. The shift paddles on the steering wheel, which also come as standard in the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible, 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 (see separate chapter), as well as in the new BMW 430d xDrive Coupé and BMW 430d Convertible, whose diesel unit has an output of 210 kW/286 hp. The line-up also includes two four-cylinder petrol engines developing 135 kW/184 hp and 180 kW/245 hp respectively and a 140 kW/190 hp four-cylinder diesel. The engine’s power is fed to the road via either classical rear-wheel drive or the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system, depending on the model variant.

Mild hybrid technology optimises power delivery and efficiency.

All the six-cylinder in-line engines available for the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and new BMW 4 Series Convertible, as well as the four-cylinder diesel unit, 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 8 kW/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. Various options are available for customising the car’s character, including M Sport suspension, adaptive M suspension with variable sport steering, and M Sport brakes.

Wide variety of systems for automated driving and parking.

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 with both petrol and diesel engines, each with a displacement of 3.0 litres. The M-typical performance attributes of these straight-six units are underpinned by, among other things, the latest M TwinPower Turbo technology – which is tailored individually to the engine at hand. Another shared feature is the 48V mild hybrid technology, whose output of 8 kW/11 hp 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 275 kW/374 hp and peak torque of 500 Nm (369 lb-ft). The BMW M440d xDrive Coupé and BMW M440d xDrive Convertible, meanwhile, are powered by a straight-six diesel unit that produces maximum output of 250 kW/340 hp and peak torque of 700 Nm (516 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.

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, load synchronisable 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,

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.

Parking fees and fuel bills can be paid directly from the vehicle.

In many European countries, the BMW ID allows drivers of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and BMW 4 Series Convertible to pay parking fees directly from their vehicle. The vehicle automatically detects whether the service is available upon arrival in a parking zone and displays the payment function if the zone is covered by one of the linked providers. The parking booking can be paid quickly and simply using the credit card registered in the My BMW App. The booking ends automatically when the vehicle exits the parking space again.

And drivers in Germany also have the option of settling fuel bills digitally from their car as soon as they have refuelled at participating filling stations. As with the parking fee payment service, this is done using the credit card information first registered in the vehicle apps.

Distinctive proportions, highly versatile interior.

The standalone character of the all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is clearly expressed in its exterior design. Measuring 4,783 millimetres in exterior length, 1,852 millimetres in width and 1,442 millimetres in height, it has distinctive proportions combined with dynamically stretched coupé lines. It is 143 millimetres longer, 27 millimetres wider and 53 millimetres taller than its predecessor, while the track widths have also grown – to 1,595 millimetres at the front (+50 mm) and 1,623 millimetres at the rear (+29 mm). The wheelbase of 2,856 millimetres is 46 millimetres longer than the predecessor’s and 5 millimetres more than the figure for the 3 Series Sedan.

The model-specific body concept results in a versatile interior offering generous amounts of space in the rear. The all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé offers 470 litres of boot space, the primary capacity in the directly viewable area of the boot having grown by 39 litres. Load capacity can be expanded to a maximum of 1,290 litres by folding down the sections of the rear backrest, with its standard 40 : 20 : 40 split.

Expressive front end, elegant silhouette, powerful rear.

Bold lines and surfaces with a three-dimensional structure are the defining elements of the all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé’s expressive front end. Dropping deep down at its centre is the large and vertically prominent BMW kidney grille that transmits a feeling of assured presence. 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 including BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high beam assistant.

Precise lines, doors with frameless windows and flush-fitting handles, and powerful shoulders shape the elegantly sporty silhouette of the all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, while the roofline culminates in a pronounced spoiler lip on the tailgate. Horizontal lines are the dominant influence at the rear end. And the low-slung, muscular stature of the car is also accentuated by a rear apron with vertical aero lips at its outer edges and a black finish for its lower edge. The stylishly darkened full-LED rear lights extend well into the flanks.

Bespoke design features add dynamic flourishes to M Sport cars and the BMW M model. An M Carbon exterior package can be specified as an option, and model-specific M Performance Parts are available as part of the Genuine BMW Accessory range.

Interior: driving pleasure and spaciousness amid a premium ambience.

Inside the all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, the high centre console and flowing surface structure running from the instrument panel into the door panels generate a cocooning feel in the front seats. The Start/Stop button for the engine is positioned in a classily designed control panel in the centre console, which also houses the BMW Controller and the buttons for the Driving Experience Control unit and electromechanical parking brake alongside the model-specific gearshift lever. The rear seat bench with folding head restraints allows three child seats to be fitted.

M Sport seats and an M Leather steering wheel come as standard on the all-new BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé and BMW 430i Gran Coupé M Sport Pro. The list of optional equipment provides extensive scope for individualisation.

State-of-the-art four- and six-cylinder engines and 48V mild hybrid technology provide clear boost for dynamism and efficiency.

The all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé underscores its vividly enhanced sporting credentials with a performance model at the top of the range. The all-new BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé is powered by a 275 kW/374 hp six-cylinder in-line petrol engine. The all-new BMW 430i Gran Coupé M Sport Pro gives a debut to a new four-cylinder petrol engine which develops 180 kW/245 hp and has an exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head to further reduce emission levels. The four-cylinder petrol engine in the all-new BMW 420i Gran Coupé produces maximum output of 135 kW/184 hp.

In the all-new BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé, mild hybrid technology further increases dynamism and efficiency. The 48V starter-generator puts an extra 8 kW/11 hp on tap when accelerating off the line or putting in a quick burst of speed. An additional battery helps to further expand the scope for regenerating and storing brake energy.

The standard eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission complements its sharper shift dynamics and shift paddles on the steering wheel with a Sprint function (standard on the all-new BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé and BMW 430i Gran Coupé M Sport Pro). This prompts the powertrain and shift characteristics to maximise dynamic performance when putting in a sudden burst of speed or overtaking.

High body rigidity, optimised aerodynamic attributes.

The sporting characteristics of the all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé are also well served by a low centre of gravity and almost 50 : 50 weight distribution.

Singapore. BMW Asia and Performance Motors Limited today launched the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé, a car that is more distinctive and sportier than ever. The overall vehicle concept behind the two-door car – from its proportions and bespoke design features to the model-specific chassis tuning – displays a rigorous commitment to a richly engaging driving experience. The spotlight on dynamic driving pleasure puts clear water between the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé and the latest BMW 3 Series Sedan and gives it a significantly sharper character than its predecessor.

The all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé was developed with the aim of redefining the essence of driving pleasure in the premium midsize segment. Its aura of athleticism and exclusivity sees it following in the BMW brand’s coupé tradition – shaped by a succession of legendary sporting machines – which now stretches back almost 90 years. The makeup of the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé range reflects the emphasis placed on dynamic potency in the car’s conception. The all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé is built at BMW Plant Dingolfing in Germany.

Exterior design: an exclusive blend of elegance and dynamism.

The appearance of the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé brings both the familiar styling of BMW’s sporty two-door models and the brand’s new design language to the fore. A small number of crisp lines and the use of clear, generously sized surfaces come together into a body design which exudes unadulterated driving pleasure from every angle.

The dynamically stretched proportions of the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé are the result of greater exterior dimensions than its predecessor. Length has increased by 128 millimetres to 4,768 mm, width by 27 mm to 1,852 mm and the wheelbase by 41 mm to 2,851 millimetres. Vehicle height is up by just 6 mm, to 1,383 millimetres, making the car 57 millimetres lower than the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. Its tracks have increased in width over the previous-generation model’s – by 28 millimetres at the front and 18 millimetres at the rear – and are also 23 millimetres wider than those of the latest BMW 3 Series Sedan.

An expressive and distinctive front end with a nose for tradition.

The striking front end of the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé shines the spotlight on its standalone character. The large, vertically emphasised BMW kidney grille angles forwards and extends down almost to the lower edge of the front apron. Its standard air intakes have a mesh structure of the sort only previously seen on M models. As a defining element of the front end, the grille stands confidently at its centre. With its upright kidneys connected in the centre, it reprises a design feature from the company’s past – one shared with legendary brand classics, such as the BMW 328 and BMW 3.0 CSi – and adds its own modern twist.

The slim headlights of the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé reach well into the front wheel arches. Full-LED headlights are fitted as standard, while the BMW Laserlight is available as an option. This optional equipment item comes with the cornering light and adaptive cornering functions with variable road illumination optimised for urban and motorway driving. At speeds above 60 km/h, the laser high-beam increases maximum illumination range to 550 metres and follows the course of the road dynamically.

Elegant and dynamic side view, powerful rear.

The flanks of the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé are shaped by precise and tautly carved surfaces. Short overhangs, slender pillars, long doors with frameless windows, the slim window graphic and a flowing roofline accentuate its elegant appearance. The glasshouse – heavily tapered in its rear section – and muscular shoulders accentuate its powerful stature.

At the rear, too, large and distinct surfaces are the dominant influences. Slim and stylishly darkened full-LED rear lights with consistently illuminating light bars underscore the car’s powerful looks.

Interior: driver-focused cockpit, two individual-style rear seats.

Cleanly designed surfaces, high-quality materials and the driver-focused layout of the cockpit define the premium ambience and singularly performance-centric interior design of the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé. Sports seats and a newly designed sports leather steering wheel come as standard. Together with the coordinated design of the instrument panel and door panel trim, the high-set centre console generates an enveloping environment for the front seat occupants. The standard acoustic glass for the windscreen further improves comfort over long distances.

The instrument cluster and Control Display in the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé form a large-surface display grouping. The start/stop button for the engine is now positioned in a classy control panel in the centre console. And the model-specific rear seats with integral head restraints and pronounced individual-seat character have been designed to accommodate two passengers.

Powerful yet efficient petrol engines in the all-new BMW 430i Coupé and all-new BMW 420i Coupé.

The all-new BMW 430i Coupé and all-new BMW 420i Coupé boast remarkably sporty performance characteristics and superior efficiency following an extensive upgrade of their respective four-cylinder petrol engines. The more powerful of the 2.0 litre pair generates a maximum output of 258 hp – an increase of 6 hp on the engine it replaces – and delivers peak torque of 400 Nm between 1,550 and 4,400 rpm. This enables the all-new BMW 430i Coupé to accelerate to 100 km/h from rest in 5.8 seconds.

The four-cylinder engine in the all-new BMW 420i Coupé is another shining example of efficiency and the free-revving performance associated with BMW power units. Its maximum output of 184 hp and peak torque of 300 Nm between 1,350 and 4,000 rpm translate into a 0 to 100 km/h time of 7.5 seconds.

Eight-speed Steptronic transmission as standard for all model variants, with the option of shift paddles and new Sprint function.

Globally, this is the first time that all model variants in the BMW 4 Series Coupé range have been fitted with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission as standard. The latest version of the automatic transmission goes about its task of relaying drive torque from the engine with optimised shift characteristics and even greater efficiency.

In Singapore, the eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission is fitted as standard for all model variants and offers even sharper shift dynamics and comes with shift paddles on the steering wheel. It also has the new Sprint function (standard on the all-new BMW 430i Coupé M Sport Pro), which adjusts the engine and shift characteristics to bring maximum dynamism to mid-range acceleration and overtaking manoeuvres with just a short pull of the ‘minus’ shift paddle.

Improved body rigidity and bespoke chassis tuning result in eye-catching dynamism.

Its model-specific proportions, optimised aerodynamic properties, increased body rigidity, a centre of gravity 21 millimetres lower than the new BMW 3 Series Sedan’s, and careful tweaks to the chassis geometry, mounting and set-up, give the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé a sporty character all of its own. An intelligent material mix has been employed to optimise the weight of both the body and chassis technology. The bespoke body struts at the front end and in the rear axle area can also take credit for the car’s superb handling agility and precision.

The M Sport suspension (standard on the all-new BMW 420i Coupé M Sport) incorporates specially tuned lift-related dampers while the Adaptive M suspension (standard on the all-new BMW 430i Coupé M Sport Pro) features electronically controlled dampers. Variable sport steering is included with both suspension variants. The all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé rides on 18-inch M light alloy wheels (all-new BMW 420i Coupé M Sport) and 19-inch BMW Individual Bicolour wheels (all-new BMW 430i Coupé M Sport Pro). The optional M Sport brakes are available with a choice of blue or red callipers. The BMW 430i Coupé M Sport Pro comes standard with red M Sport brakes.

The M Sport differential with electronically controlled, fully variable locking function in the rear differential is available as an option for the all-new BMW 430i Coupé in conjunction with the Adaptive M suspension.

Premiere: M Sport Pro for the ultimate in intense driving pleasure.

The design and equipment lines are also a clear reflection of the uncompromising focus on dynamic driving pleasure underpinning the overall vehicle concept. An M Sport model comes with features such as extra-large air intakes at the front and a prominently contoured rear apron, M Sport suspension, M light-alloy wheels, and other specially designed interior elements. Exterior elements can also be specified in carbon fibre to add some motorsports flair with the M Carbon exterior package.

The M Sport Pro offered on a BMW model for the first time elevates driving pleasure intensity levels another notch. In Singapore, the all-new BMW 430i Coupé comes as standard with the M Sport Pro. It takes the features of the M Sport model and adds items including 19-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, a sporty soundtrack fed into the cabin and a Harman Kardon surround sound system. In addition to this, an extensive selection of M Performance Parts will also be available for customers to order.

Top-class customisation options.

A vast array of optional extras can be specified to inject an individual sense of style into the car and enhance driving comfort. The all-new BMW 420i Coupé M Sport comes as standard with Alcantara/Sensatec sports seats (leather Vernasca is optional) while the all-new BMW 430i Coupé M Sport Pro has leather Vernasca M Sport seats. All front sports seats are electrically adjustable. Also to be found on the options list are BMW Individual interior trim strips of particularly exquisite quality, a Sensatec-trimmed instrument panel and a leather-covered BMW Individual instrument panel.

Three-zone automatic climate control and a Storage package come as standard in the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé. An auxiliary heating system and ambient lighting including Welcome Light Carpet are also standard. The tilting/sliding glass roof (standard on the all-new BMW 430i Coupé M Sport Pro) has a 24-millimetre-longer glass surface than on the outgoing model.

The rear backrest in the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé has a 40 : 20 : 40 split as standard and its individual sections can be released and folded flat by pressing a button in the boot. The boot is able to hold 440 litres of gear.

Far wider choice of driver assistance systems.

A significantly broader selection of driver assistance systems compared to the preceding generation of the BMW 4 Series Coupé serves to boost comfort on long journeys and increase safety in situations where the driver does not have a clear view. Front collision warning with brake intervention, Lane Departure Warning including lane return (with steering assistance) and the Speed Limit Info system are all now included as standard. The optional Driving Assistant Professional adds a number of features including the Steering and Lane Control Assistant with new Active Navigation, which uses navigation data to detect any necessary lane changes.

The standard Parking Assistant now also features the Reversing Assistant, while the optional Parking Assistant Plus includes Surround View and Remote 3D View. The new-generation BMW Head-Up Display (standard on the all-new BMW 430i Coupé M Sport Pro) beams driving-related information onto a projection area enlarged by 70 per cent.

New digital services: BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, smartphone integration, Remote Software Upgrade.

The standard fitted BMW Live Cockpit Professional features a fully digital screen grouping comprising a digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches and a 10.25-inch Control Display. The fully digital instrument display in the cockpit provides enough room to accommodate an excerpt from the navigation map, status indicators for the driver assistance systems or 3D visualisation of the surrounding area.

A built-in SIM card with 4G LTE connectivity and the standard Connected Package Professional make it possible to use digital services such as BMW TeleServices and Intelligent Emergency Call, Real Time Traffic Information with hazard warning, Remote Services and Concierge Services.

The driver and passengers will also benefit from the enhanced options for intuitive operation and the innovative digital services brought by the inclusion of BMW Operating System 7.0 in the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé. Display content can be configured individually while the intuitive multimodal interaction between driver and vehicle can take place – depending on the situation – via the Control Display’s touchscreen, the proven iDrive Controller, the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel or optional BMW gesture control. The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with added functions rounds up the suite of interaction with the vehicle, is at the customer’s service as a standard feature in the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé.

BMW Live Cockpit Professional also comes with optimised smartphone integration. Alongside wireless Apple CarPlay, the operating system for the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé now also hosts wireless Android Auto. Remote Software Upgrade is another new feature that enables improved vehicle functions and additional digital services to be imported into the car over the air.

The BMW Digital Key for the iPhone will enable customers to just tap to unlock and easily get going by placing the iPhone in the smartphone tray and pushing the start button. Setup of the Digital Key can be done through the BMW Connected App. The car owner can also share access with up to five friends including a configurable car access option for young drivers which restricts top speed, horsepower, maximum radio volume and more. Management of access can be done from inside the car as well as through Apple Wallet.

The all-new BMW 4 Series Coupé is now available for viewing at the Performance Motors Limited showroom.
