BMW is launching new upgraded 4 Series Coupé, Convertible and Gran Coupé
The Coupé, Convertible and Gran Coupé versions of the 4 Series will, according to BMW, continue to blend performance with exclusivity and elegance, while at the same time still managing to exude totally distinct characters.
Since its debut in 2013, BMW has delivered nearly 400,000 units of the 4 Series to customers all over the world. About half of all BMW 4 Series models are sold in Europe.
Styling cues borrowed from the spectacular BMW Concept 4 Series Coupé in 2012 are clearly visible in the design of the new BMW 4 Series, with the new models including elements such as a large air intake with eye-catching bars and LED headlights and rear lights.
BMW says the driving experience in all BMW 4 Series models is rooted in a finely honed blend of sharp sporting performance and superb ride comfort.
BMW’s engineers also have greatly enhanced the cars’ dynamic handling capabilities by revising the 4 Series’ suspension, but without compromising on the cars’ impressive ride comfort.
The new Coupé and Series Gran Coupé both now come with stiffer suspension, featuring more advanced damping technology and an upgraded steering set-up. These measures are said to have resulted in a tangible improvement in both lateral and longitudinal handling properties, regardless of the load on board.
The upshot is reduced roll, more neutral responses when driving at the limit, even greater straight-line stability and precise steering. This applies to the standard suspension, as well as the M Sport suspension and Adaptive suspension.
BMW maintains that the harmonious and extremely agile nature of the outgoing cars’ suspension tuning meant there was no need for more extensive performance-enhancing modifications. High-performance tyres can be optionally fitted on all model variants.
Amusingly, BMW says these have been specially designed to cater to the needs of drivers with “extremely sporty inclinations.”
More in due course.
