  • 2014 BMW 4 Series Official Announcement





    "BMW will offer the 4 Series in 428i and 435i models, both of which can be had with xDrive all-wheel drive. Just like in the 3 Series, the 428i is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, good for 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque, and the 435i gets BMW's turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six making 300 hp and 300 lb-ft. In three of the four models, both a six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmission are available; the 428i xDrive can only be had with the auto 'box. The 428i (with rear-wheel drive, we assume) can hit 60 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds (though BMW doesn't specify with which transmission), and the 435i will do that same sprint in 5.3 seconds with the manual and five seconds flat with the eight-speed auto."

    "BMW will offer the 4 Series Coupe in three different trim lines – Luxury, Sport and M Sport. Much like the 3 Series range, the Luxury line focuses more on overall amenities and upscale appearance, while the Sport and M Sport models are meant to offer the most driver-focused set of equipment with slightly more aggression outside. 18- and 19-inch wheels are available on all models, and M Sport models get a whole raft of equipment including better suspension tuning and upgraded brakes to make the whole package more exciting on the road."

    The new 4 Series goes on sale later this summer, and BMW has already confirmed that pricing will start at $41,425 (*including destination) for the 428i Coupe – an increase of $1,650 versus a 328i sedan. From there, the 428i xDrive rolls in at $46,925, the 435i starts at $43,425, and the range-topping 435i xDrive will set you back $48,925. "

    With a summer release for the 4, I predict a fall announcement of the M4, especially since the previous M3 coupes are supposedly sold out...

                Gotcha. So they can do away with the ci suffix basically. Why change such a long tradition? Its like the changing of the number system too. Doesn't make sense.

                  Yeah I agree. With BMW's it was always very logical with the numbering. Like a 328 was a 3 series with a 2.8 litre engine, it made sense.

                  But now a 328 has a 2.0 litre engine. It's so dumb...

                          Well with the tradition the change is a bit weird and confusing for many customers. Then I can see the logic as even numbers are 2 doors and odd numbers are 4 doors but then they go and release the 6 series Gran Coupe (4 door) so really not sure what they are trying to do. BMW seems to have really complicated their lineup and have way too many niche cars and variants of all these series.

                          The car does look nice though!

                            This thing is a boat. How depressing.

                              Well, I am going to wait to see the M4 before I make final judgement.

                              Obviously with the 1/2 series selling like crazy, it doesn't make more sense to make the 3/4 any smaller.

                              IMO it competes pretty well against the A5/S5 which is also a bit of a boat.
