New BMW 4 Series priced
All-new 3 Series-based two-door coupe will be priced from above $70K when it arrives in OctoberBMW Australia has announced local pricing and specifications for the all-new BMW 4 Series Coupe ahead of its model’s arrival later this year.
Set to rival the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, Bimmer’s latest 4 Series Coupe will hit local showrooms in October, with three trim levels to choose from.
Priced from $70,900 plus on-road costs in entry-spec 420i form, the BMW 4 Series Coupe will also be available in quicker 430i guise priced just shy of $89K, as well as range-topping M440i xDrive form, priced from $116,900 plus ORCs.
Both the BMW 420i and 430i are powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine good for 135kW/300Nm and 190kW/400Nm respectively.
Meanwhile, the M440i makes use of 285kW 3.0-litre turbo six-cylinder producing 500Nm of torque, ably launching the coupe to 100km/h from a standstill in 4.5 seconds.
All three variants are mated to BMW’s eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, as well as shift paddles mounted to the steering wheel.
Those variants will eventually be joined by the high-performance BMW M4 flagship, due to debut in 2021.
The headline changes to the new 4 Series – aside from its controversial big-mouth grille – include a longer (+130mm) and wider (+27mm) body, as well as an extended wheelbase (+41mm) compared to the outgoing model.

Front and rear wheel tracks have been increased by 28mm and 18mm respectively, while the front wheels get more negative camber than before.
Three 19-inch alloy wheels designs are offered for the 420i and 430i, while the hotter M440i comes with just one wheel option wrapped in sticky performance rubber.
