2025 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

The Gran Coupe is the four-door variant of the BMW 4 Series, and it's set to get a small update ahead of its two-door coupe and convertible counterparts. Visual changes include a slightly tweaked grille design, though there's still no missing those enlarged kidneys. Around back, the 4 Series Gran Coupe's taillights have the Laserlight signature BMW recently used on the M4 CSL coupe.

What else is new? Well, there are a few new paint shades, including Cape York Green and Vegas Red, and some aerodynamic wheel designs, too. Inside, the 2025 4 Series Gran Coupe offers much of the same as its predecessor, but the cabin tech is upgraded to run BMW's iDrive 8.5 software — a system with a steep learning curve but one that's ultimately full of features.

The base 430i Gran Coupe uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine with 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant includes 48-volt mild hybrid technology, which allows for more liberal use of the stop-start system, and gives the 430i supplemental off-the-line boost for better acceleration.

The uplevel M440i Gran Coupe also incorporates mild hybrid tech, but applies it to a larger 3.0-liter turbo inline six-cylinder, for a total output of 386 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. BMW says this Gran Coupe can sprint to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, or 4.3 seconds if you opt for xDrive all-wheel drive.

Regardless of engine, the 4 Series Gran Coupe uses an eight-speed automatic transmission. EPA-estimated fuel economy numbers are still TBD.

Despite the four-door body style, the 4 Series Gran Coupe is best suited for two people. The rear seats are a little tight, and the sloping roofline impedes headroom. But hey: At least the Gran Coupe design includes a hatchback rather than a sedan's traditional trunk opening, making it easier to haul larger objects. You can even fold down the rear seats for added versatility.

On the tech front, the 4 Series Gran Coupe upgrades to BMW's iDrive 8.5 software. A slightly updated version of iDrive 8, this infotainment system now has a row of fixed buttons along the bottom of the screen for commonly used functions. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included.

Pricing for the 2025 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe won't be released until closer to the on-sale date this fall. That said, because the changes are so minor, we don't expect the MSRPs to change too much from the current 4 Series Gran Coupe. Look for the base 430i Gran Coupe to start right around $50,000 — or perhaps even a touch lower. The M440i Gran Coupe should command somewhere around $63,000.

If you can get past the offensive schnoz design, the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is a nice-driving, well-equipped four-door that offers an added dose of functionality thanks to the liftback design.
