Which 4 Series Gran Coupe does Edmunds recommend?
For cars like the 3 Series, we think BMW's four-cylinder engine is just fine for most shoppers. But since the Gran Coupe is supposed to be a slightly more upscale car, splurging for the 440i and its inline six-cylinder engine makes sense. It offers smooth and strong power with only a minor hit to fuel economy, and you get slightly more standard equipment. Consider also getting the Executive package and Convenience package for the added safety equipment they offer.
Edmunds' Expert Review
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. But as far as sleek luxury sedans go, 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. It's adept at keeping passengers comfortable, and the 430i does well with any kind of long freeway journey or commute. The climate control's operation is a little odd, though.
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 subpar, and the sloping rear roof forces you to duck down when getting into the back seat.
Utility
6.0As a hatchback, the Gran Coupe is less utilitarian than we'd like. The cabin storage for small items is abysmal, and cargo space falls behind direct rivals. Accommodation for car seats is merely average.
Technology
8.0As is typically the case, BMW's proprietary technology is a strong point. Their navigation systems, voice controls and upgraded audio system are all nearly perfect in the 4 Series, but device integration could be improved upon.

440i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
A high performance, fun to drive, sporty BMW. A great mid size choice for a well handling, luxury car.

440i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
This is an excellent company luxury car. Solid as a tank and fast. With sport handling packages this car hugs the road with ease and makes the driver feel very much in control. But be prepared to spend to get the many great options available.

430i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
This is easily one of the best looking cars on the road. It performs well across the board. I will say buying or leasing get the wheel/tire insurance. Its worth the money as I have gone through 3 tires and one wheel.

430i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Good looking car for a good price. No mechanical issues after 25,000 miles. The car's electrical controls are a little tuff to learn how to operate.
