2018 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 440i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
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
Very Fun Car

2018 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 440i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
Looks great, very practical - roomy passenger seating and A LOT of trunk space with huge access due to the roof mounted lid, but most of all an amazing engine generating awesome power with great handling, and a fiery crackling exhaust. Looks like a classy sedan but sounds like a wild lion feeding frenzy.

Which 4 Series Gran Coupe does Edmunds recommend?
Though we appreciate the four-cylinder's fuel economy and surprising amount of pep, we think you'll find paying for the sweet turbocharged six-cylinder of the 440i Gran Coupe to be worth it. The hit to fuel economy is fairly minor, but the extra performance it adds transforms the car. To round out the speed-and-luxury motif, we'd add the Premium package (for its heated seats and navigation system) and the M Sport package, which adds a sport-tuned suspension, body kit and meaty M-branded steering wheel. Driving enthusiasts should consider the Track Handling package to get the non-run-flat tires and upgraded brakes.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe Sedan
Driving
7.5The 430i Gran Coupe's driving dynamics are hard to criticize but also hard to love. Acceleration is adequate but not lively, and the handling leaves you wanting more than the all-season tires can provide. As far as sleek, luxury sedans go, though, we certainly don't mind it.
Comfort
7.5A quiet and soft ride on the highway is the defining characteristic of the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Not quite a grand tourer but adept at keeping passengers comfortable, the 430i does well with any kind of long freeway journey or commute. The climate controls have some oddities.
Interior
7.0The Gran Coupe's interior is comfortable with relatively easy access to the front seats and a good driving position. Rear visibility is especially subpar, though, and the sloping rear roof forces you to duck down when piling into the back seat.
Utility
6.0As a hatchback, the Gran Coupe is less utilitarian than we'd like. Cabin storage for small items is abysmal, and cargo space falls behind direct rivals. Car seat accommodation is merely average.
Technology
8.0As is typically the case, BMW's proprietary technology is a strong point. Its navigation systems, voice controls and upgraded audio system are all nearly perfect in the 4 Series, but device integration could be improved upon.
