Used 2018 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe Sedan Consumer Reviews
BMW's "Goldilocks" Car
It was time to replace my 80,000+ mile 2014 Mercedes E250 BlueTec. I wasn't impressed by the generic styling of the MB's exterior so thought I'd give the BMW 5 Series a try. Nice car but it didn't offer exactly what I was looking for, namely, high mileage with visual appeal. Then I saw a car that I never knew was available until I was at the dealership -- the 403i Gran Coupe with Luxury Package. It checked all of the boxes for me, great highway mileage (34 EPA Highway; but I've averaged about 10- to 15% higher at a steady 75+ MPH in Comfort mode), safety, comfort (I'm 6'5" & 215#), high quality entertainment system with large screen navigation and storage space. Rear Seat comfort? Ok for short jaunts -- my only sacrifice vs the 530i. Storage space? Incredible! This thing is a hatchback with about half of what my SUV holds (MB GLE350). The front seats are extremely comfortable, the steering is very direct and the iDrive 6 is amazing, especially with Apple Play. Performance? More than sufficient for my needs. I cannot rate reliability with only 1,500 miles on the odometer, however, J.D. Powers rates the GranCoupe higher than the 3 and 5 Series as "Better Than Most". Best of all it was $5k less than the comparable 5 Series. Yup, out came the checkbook. If you're searching for a stylish, comfortable, well equipped vehicle, you should give the 4 Series Gran Coupe serious consideration.

OVERALLY IT'S NICE CAR TO DRIVE
CHECK OUT THE SPACE FIRST BEFORE YOUR PURCHASE, SINCE THE BACK SEATS HAVE LESS LEG ROOM OVS. 3 SEIRES

Edmunds experts reviewed the wrong trim!
The 430i points made were true.. yes the cargo inside leaves you wanting more and rear seat space is made for shorter adults or kids… but this car is incredible… especially in the 440i variant. I have the 440i GC and it has been the most fun car I have owned thus far. The B58 motor is a masterpiece and knowing it is the same engine powering the Toyota Supra is even more of a treat. I have done some tasteful modifications to my vehicle to enhance the performance aspects and this car has been the opposite of what people say about BMWs…. reliable! That speaks to the engineering and focus on quality BMW worked on and perfected with these vehicles. The seats can be a tad uncomfortable on longer trips if you are a taller driver like myself but getting your seating position right helps and the adjustable thigh supports are great. The interior layout is easy to use and if you have CarPlay the integration works great and is wireless as well. The lift gate hatch does add weight you don’t get with a 3 series but the wide opening makes it easy to put items in and out and gives the car a unique look that makes it a treat when people see it open. If you value something different from the norm, quality, and realizability…. I would highly encourage you to go give a Gran Coupe a driven

Great sporty sedan
I love the great sleek look of this sporty sedan. It has great responsiveness on the road and the technology makes me feel safe while driving. The back seats could be a little roomier otherwise I highly recommend it.
Really Nice Car, BUT....
Just bought this car a couple weeks ago. I wanted to let folks know that if you don't buy the heads up display, there is only analog speedometer and Tach gauge that have NO back lighting in daylight, which makes it very difficult to see the speedometer, especially if you wear sunglasses and have tinted the windows. There is no fix at this time. I have complained but BMW said, that's just the way the car is made. I have had 2 other BMW's and this was NEVER a problem. I am looking for some work around since I feel this is a safety issue trying to see how fast you are going instead of focusing on the road. FYI- radio, temperature, mileage are all back lit????? Other than that, I would love the car.
