Up until now we saw the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe in either Glacier Silver or Mineral White, in either the Luxury Line guise or M Sport. This time, BMW went back to its roots and dressed a special model in its unique Estoril Blue paint, the one you get only if you tick the M Sport exterior package.
So be it, we said, this color deserves the extra $3,100 you need to pay for the more aggressive body of the M Sport model that also brings around 14 M badges all around not to mention huge side air intakes and a more ‘determined’ look altogether.
The most stylish model of the 4 Series range can also be equipped with two other lines if you don’t want to scare the neighborhood children when you come home. The Luxury Line costs $1,400 while Sport Line will set you back $1,700. However, you won’t get access to the Estoril Blue paint you see in the gallery below or Carbon Black Metallic.
In the US, the Gran Coupe will be available in 3 model variations at first, none of the diesels, as expected. The entry level model will be the 428i, fitted with a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine making 245 HP and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque that starts at $40,300. For $2,000 more you can get the same car with the xDrive all-wheel-drive system onboard.
The top of the range version is the 435i model, fitted with the familiar, ubiquitous N55 3-liter turbocharged petrol engine making 306 HP and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. This one is available only with rear-wheel-drive though, and in just one combination, with the 8-speed ZF gearbox.
Across the Atlantic, on BMW’s home front, things are a bit different though. Since Europeans are crazy about diesels, they get to enjoy them even on this model. For now, they get to choose out of 3 diesels, the 418d, 420d and 420d xDrive.
The last two are separated only by the xDrive system, both of them having 184 HP and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque at their disposal, coming from a 2-liter turbocharged diesel powerplant. The former uses the same engine architecture but has only 143 HP and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque.
Prices start at €35,759 in Europe for the entry-level petrol version, 420i, that has a 2-liter, 4-cylinder ‘heart’ under the bonnet pumping 184 HP and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque to the rear wheels. Sounds enticing? Well, it should be as this car looks brilliant in real life.
Some were in a rush to call it just another 3 Series but in reality, the differences show. The 4 Series Gran Coupe is lower, wider and more stylish than its sedan brother, with a tailgate at the back that also takes the roofline lower while giving the car a plus on practicality.
Unfortunately, if you’re interested in this model, you still have to wait just a little over a month to have one delivered, as BMW decided to start sending these cars to dealerships worldwide in July.
