Yet again we find ourselves in front of a review that starts with the obvious: "is the new 4 Series Coupe just a reshaped 3 Series?". This time, it's the guys from What Car that do this rookie mistake but in the end come up to the right conclusion.
No, the 4 Series is not just a smaller 3 Series. It's been developed from the ground up to be better than the Sedan, in every way. Even though it is a bit more pricey, the standard features (like leather upholstery, Xenon headlights and parking sensors) justify the added value.
On the road, the 4er feels more precise and the engines and gearboxes available at the moment, team up perfectly for either a smooth ride or a sporty experience, depending on your mood.
In the back, you'll find plenty of space, if you're amongst the massive bunch that measures under 6 feet in height. More than that and you might find longer trips a bit tiresome.
Bottom line, for what you get, the 4 Series deserves the increased price tag, becoming the best choice in the premium coupe segment, at the moment.
