The BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe conveniently occupies a stylish niche between more practical BMW 3-Series and 5-Series sedans. For the new year, the 2022 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe freshens up. It picks up more features, better dynamics, and fortunately or unfortunately, the controversial large kidney grill from the M4 and M3.
When the latest BMW 7-Series and X7 came around, people strained their eyes, frowning at the humongous kidney grill plastered up their front. But the designers at Bavaria seem to have no plans to stop there. Here’s the new 2021 BMW 4 Series with an even taller iteration of the kidney grill, as if to spite detractors.
BMW is toying around with the idea of fitting extreme grilles to its new cars in a bid to make their cars look more distinctive and somehow more premium, starting with the large kidney grille on the X7 and 7-series. For those who did not like it, there’s more bad news. The BMW Concept 4 gets unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt Motors show which hints at the design of the next gen 4-Series and M4 coupes. And guess what, it’s got a large grille too.
After spinning off from the sensible 3-Series sedan, the BMW 4-Series range of coupes has been around for a few years now. The whole 4-Series family, which includes the Coupe, Cabriolet, Gran Coupe and the M4, has been given a small refresh for 2017 but you need a BMW-fanboy eye to spot the changes.
BMW has just launched the BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe, in what is the sixth body style to be based on the 3-Series platform.
We have to say that this was expected following BMW stopping production of the M3 coupe. BMW revealed this week the 4-Series Coupe sprinkled with a dash of ‘M Performance’ parts, subsequently giving us an initial taste of the upcoming M4.
The BMW 4-Series Coupe has been officially released and is set to go on sale later this year. BMW will offer the 4-Series in two variants, the 428i and the 435i.
BMW have released pictures of the new 4-series and it is set to replace the BMW 3-series coupe and convertible. Images of only the coupe has been revealed as the convertible will debut a year later.
