The all-new BMW 4 Series has grabbed attention for its divisive styling. But it's the driving dynamics that really help it to stand out, as Rebecca Jackson discovers in this CarGurus UK review. The 420i uses a turbocharged petrol engine to deliver a strong blend of performance, refinement and economy. Could it be the perfect coupe for 2021?
Written review: www.cargurus.c...
Pros
Exceptionally good to drive, even by BMW's high standards
Superb interior quality
Brilliant infotainment system
Cons
Controversial looks, in particular the grille
Convertible sacrifices some practicality
Adaptive suspension costs extra

I have to admit it looks great in person, ended up loving it, blacked out grill does look much better than the standard one.

@IwillBwaiting 3 года назад

Size matters I guess. The 2021 4 series is almost as big as the 7 series was in the late 80's. Weighs about the same also.

I actually don't mind the grill on this model, it sort of fits unlike other models

Rebecca - you're wrong about the boot space, the Mercedes C Class Coupe has far less at 380 litres. The Audi does have very slightly more though.

I bought a 420d but the chrome grill had to go. I replaced it with a matte cerulean gray version and it looks good. Very happy with it and the 50 mpg.

@firstnamesecondname5341 3 года назад

The only 4 series to have 😁👍, the difference between the 440 and the poverty variants is chalk and cheese, a bmw service centre is on my walk to work and the lads there while chatting to them in the local cafe are quite blunt about the difference between the top of range and poverty spec variants, anything other than a 440 in the 4 series is considered a bit 💩, they also slate the 7’s 🤦🏻‍♂️ reliability issues, anything diesel is a just shut up 🤐 and go away and they’re quite repulsed by the 8 😬..

I've got the 2016 420i Grande Coupe and I love it. I was thinking about switching to the new model when she comes out, but I just can't quite justify it with that grille. I'm pleased that I'm still not bored of mine or I'd be modding the new one like a chav.

Great review ! Thank you. Lovely car but truly hate the grille. I'd planned to buy a 4 series cabrio but not sure if I will with these looks. Shame, as the interior is gorgeous and every report I've seen rates its driving characteristics. Only other negative is size. It really is big now. Perhaps a new 2021 2 series beckons but sadly there is no cabrio planned.

The E class is equivalent to a 5 series/6 series. the 4 series is C class sized. the 4 series is currently a generation ahead, so hard to compare. The Mercedes C class is due a significant update, i imagine very shortly.

"Firm suspension"? The suspension in Comfort mode is one of the comfiest i've ever felt, equal with the G20 3-series? Most reviews say its comfier than the Mercedes, and just as comfy as the Audi. I've no idea where the 'firm suspension' idea comes from at all

@Ajajambo Год назад

Actually this car deals with bumps better than an A5 S line. The one thing I found with the 420D M its very heavy and doesn't pull away like an A5 35 TDI does despite having more bhp. Weird

@mindofmission 3 года назад

Thank you, Rebecca! The grill seems like an acquired taste, quit the departure from the old, but sometimes risk delivers unexpected reward. I prefer the nomenclature of old though, series number followed by litre designation of the engine. The overall design seems a bit lazy, a regurgitated Pontiac G6 or 8, or 2-door Nissan Altima. Falls a bit flat for a coupé of BMW’s respected caliber.

A BMW 3 series seems like a far much better proposition. Spec it well and it is loads cheaper with the same equipment. Suspension tune is less harsh while still being good to drive. Also it is among the last standing without that hideous grille...well, save for the M3.
