THE BMW 4 SERIES CARS & MODELS.
THE BMW 4 SERIES CARS & MODELS.
As the successor of the BMW 3 Series Coupé, which was inspired by the classic 90s sports sedan, the BMW 4 Series first launched in 2013 and brought an undeniable sportiness to the BMW range.
The second generation model, which came in 2020, has distinguished itself with an even more expressive and confident design – showcasing longer and wider proportions. The BMW 4 Series currently comes in three thrilling variants – the Coupé, the Convertible, and the four-door Gran Coupé.
THE LATEST BMW 4 SERIES.
With a stunning rethink of the classic BMW design language, the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and Convertible represent an exciting new era for The Ultimate Driving Machine. Adding to this impressive line-up is the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, which perfectly complements the model range with its natural elegance.
ORIGINS OF THE 4.
The BMW 4 Series’ predecessors include the legendary BMW 02 (series 114) and the BMW 3 Series Coupé. Since 1990, the 3 Series Coupé (E36) has boasted a striking unique design, being a bit flatter and a bit wider than the traditional saloon, a sport character that remains to this day with the latest 4 Series models. Other influences can be seen in the long doors, frameless window panes,and curved roof line. Two more generations of BMW 3 Series models followed (E46, E92).
In 2013 a new era began – the BMW 3 Series Coupé became the BMW 4 Series (F32, F33, F36). What started with the revolutionary BMW 02 series saloon, now exists with the same pioneering spirit and next-generation look and feel.
THE FIRST GENERATION – BMW F32, F33, F36
The BMW 4 Series made itself a distinctly independent vehicle thanks to a significantly greater width and wheelbase. Short overhangs, an elongated, curved engine hood, and the set back passenger compartment distinguish the design – giving it a stronger silhouette. Features typical of the brand, such as the round twin headlights, the flat double kidney grille, and the Hofmeister kink in the C-pillar, form a striking contrast to the wide rear with narrow lights.
The BMW 4 Series Convertible (F33) entered the showroom shortly after the BMW 4 Series Coupé. The modern folding metal roof makes it a pleasure to drive all year round. In the summer of 2014, the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (F36) completed the BMW 4 Series models. The combination of sporty coupé and four-door offers comfort and elegance.

THE SECOND GENERATION – BMW G22, G23, G26
Being twelve centimeters longer and much wider than its predecessor, the second generation of the BMW 4 Series (G22) delivers a confident design. Keeping true to its expressive character, it features a forward-leaning kidney grille, angled headlights, expansive rear wheel wells and raised side windows in the back. Other striking elements are the curved tail lights that wrap around the side. The interior comes with exclusive materials giving it a modern feel. Compared to the current 3 Series, the new 4 Series comes with a lower center of gravity by two centimeters and a wider rear axle track width by 23 millimeters. For those looking for the convertible experience, the G23 is the right choice – it combines a sporty aesthetic with harmonious lines and agility. If it’s extra space in the back that you want, the new four-door BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé (G26), which was first announced in June 2021, is a perfect solution.
