New BMW 4-series unveiled

BMW has unveiled the all-new 4-series Coupe. 

 

The upcoming Frankfurt motor show is set to give the 4 series its public debut in September. The car is set to come with three turbocharged engine options with three more forced-induction units to follow. In a move aimed at providing the 4-series with a broader appeal than its predecessor, there will also be a choice of either a rear or four-wheel drive in selected models. Internationally, five trim levels - SE, Sport, Modern, Luxury and M Sport - will be offered. 

 

 

The BMW 4-series, first previewed in concept form at the Detroit motor show in January, is based on the same platform as the 3-series saloon. Changes to its chassis, including wider front and rear tracks and suspension lowered by 10mm, provide it with a lower and wider appearance that befits its sporting brief. It also has the lowest centre of gravity of any BMW on sale.  At 4638mm in length, 1825mm in width and 1362mm in height, the 4-series coupé is 26mm longer, 43mm wider and 16mm lower than its 3-series coupé predecessor. The wheelbase is up by 50mm to 2810mm, and the front and rear tracks are extended by 45mm and 81mm to 1545mm and 1593mm respectively.
