Scratch beneath the surface of its ghastly front-end design, and you'll find that the BMW 4 Series is a comfortable and engaging sport coupe. Even in modestly powered 430i guise, this energetic two-door delivers punchy acceleration and playful but controllable handling. A few quirks prevent it from being perfect, but if you're looking for a well-rounded and exciting coupe, you'll find it in the 4 Series.

- Standard sunroof means tall drivers who don't fit are out of luck

- Part of the second 4 Series generation introduced for 2021
Overview
If you like the way the 2022 BMW 4 Series coupe and convertible look, chances are you're going to like most everything else about these athletic four-passenger cars. Based on the BMW 3 Series sedan, the 2022 4 Series is broadly appealing aside from its love-it-or-leave-it grille design. Choosing a darker color helps to minimize the bold nose's visual impact, but if BMW wanted to gift Audi and Mercedes-Benz with new customers, it could not have chosen a better method.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2022 BMW 4 Series 430i 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.93 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

This year, BMW makes minor standard and optional equipment changes to the 4 Series. It's also expanded availability of rear-wheel and all-wheel drive; there's now a rear-drive version of the M440i coupe as well as all-wheel-drive versions of the 430i and M440i convertible. As is true of the 3 Series, the BMW 4 Series is enjoyable to drive, even in base 430i form. If you're shopping for a sport-luxury coupe or convertible, the 4 Series is well worth consideration.

Rated for you by America's best test team.
Performance
8.0/10
How does the 4 Series Coupe drive? The 4 Series packs a lot of punch even in 430i form, which is what we tested. Our test 430i coupe accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. For reference, the Lexus RC 300 took 6.2 seconds, as did the last-gen 430i. Our test car was equipped with the upgraded brakes of the Dynamic Handling package. They stopped the car from 60 mph in a very short 105 feet, but they were a bit grabby in casual real-world driving.
The steering is a little vague during truly spirited driving. It's a mild disappointment in a BMW, though the reality is that rivals aren't appreciably better in this regard. Handling is a 4 Series strength, with stable composure around tight bends and a seemingly high limit for traction control intervention. The eight-speed automatic shifts smoothly and always seems to be in the right gear, making this an easy car to live with.

Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the 4 Series Coupe? BMW makes some of the best front seats in the business. They are comfortable and feature multiple adjustments — including side bolster angle and thigh extension — that allow you to find an ideal sitting position.
Our test car had the available Dynamic Handling package, which adds adaptive suspension dampers. With it, the 4 Series' ride is surprisingly supple. If you're getting an M Sport-equipped 4 Series, the adaptive dampers are a must-have upgrade. Wind and tire noise is kept to a minimum, and the engine is quiet — a little too quiet for a sport coupe, we think.
The only real misstep is the climate system. We appreciate a tri-zone system in such a small coupe, but the automatic function bizarrely does not adjust fan speed. The sync function is also buried in a touchscreen menu. Of note: Ventilated seats are available as an option, though our tester was not so equipped.

Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? The 4 Series' cabin will be familiar to current BMW drivers but daunting to newbies. There are a lot of buttons, though most controls are grouped intuitively. There are a few puzzling layout quibbles — the charging pad is located in front of the cupholders, for example, so if you have cups in there, you can't reach your phone. The menus for the iDrive system are dense and take time to learn, but most commonly used controls are just a few clicks away.
There's decent legroom up front, but the compact dimensions and sleek roofline limit the usefulness of the rear seat. Tall drivers might find it challenging to fit up front perfectly since the standard sunroof cuts into the modest headspace.
Visibility to the sides and rear is excellent thanks to plenty of window coverage. The view out of the front is decent, but the flat hood makes placing the front of the car challenging and the sideview mirrors can modestly obstruct your view through left turns.

Technology
8.0/10
How’s the tech? Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are part of the 4 Series' standard features list. Wireless connectivity worked flawlessly in our test car, and you can always charge with the four USB ports and optional charging pad. The navigation system is quite helpful, even returning Yelp reviews for nonresidential destinations. One problem, though: The screen displays too much map information. Major streets are highlighted even as you zoom out, so if you have traffic enabled, prepare for a sea of red, yellow and green.
The voice controls are nearly flawless in recognizing spoken addresses and point-of-interest requests. The Harman Kardon audio system is darn good and worth the modest cost, delivering full and immersive sound.

Storage
8.0/10
How’s the storage? The 4 Series coupe's cargo area measures 12 cubic feet, which is a little more than rivals. You'll find a couple pockets aft of the wheelwells to secure smaller items, and remote levers easily disengage the rear seats. But you still have to go inside to pull the seatbacks down, and you might have to move the front seats forward to completely fold them. There's good storage space inside, with plenty of cupholders and cubbies, plus side-panel cutouts and cupholders for rear passengers.
Fitting a car seat will be a challenge. Lower anchors are easy to find, though the top tethers require a little fussing. The bigger obstacle is manipulating a car seat into and through the small cabin.

Fuel Economy
8.5/10
How economical is the 4 Series Coupe? The rear-wheel-drive 430i coupe gets an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined, making it one of the most efficient vehicles in its class. We averaged 30.5 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route, proving that these estimates are achievable in the real world. We're glad to see that the four-cylinder's fantastic performance doesn't come with a penalty at the pump.
Value
8.0/10
Is the 4 Series Coupe a good value? The cabin of the 4 Series looks more modern and upscale than before, with metal-like trim replacing some of the previous model's matte black plastic. Switches and panels have a predictably superb fit, with no squeaks or rattles to speak of. The only aspects of the interior that feel downmarket are the thinly padded armrests and hard dashboard coverings.
Pricing for the 4 Series is average for a European luxury coupe. Though others provide better value overall, the 430i's breadth of options makes it feel more tailored to the buyer.
Bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranty coverage is good for four years/50,000 miles. This is average among the German competition, but the Lexus RC 300's powertrain warranty is more generous. BMW is the only manufacturer in this class with free maintenance for three years/36,000 miles.

Wildcard
8.0/10
The 4 Series is quite fun from behind the wheel. Most drivers will be happy with the amount of power on tap even from the 430i. Though the steering doesn't live up to BMW's storied past, the controlled and nimble handling makes the 4 Series a joy to drive on serpentine roads.
Styling is subjective, but we've yet to meet a person who didn't recoil at the sight of the 4 Series' front end. Though repulsive, the swollen grille gives the 4 Series' front end a unique character, while the back end is a little derivative. Too bad, because the divisive sheetmetal disguises a capable and well-rounded sport sedan that's satisfying to drive.

Which 4 Series does Edmunds recommend?
While the BMW M440i xDrive is quicker to accelerate, it also commands a big price premium over the 430i xDrive, which is our recommendation here. With the savings, you can upgrade to the M Sport package and add metallic paint, leather seats, a premium sound system and more.

5/5 stars, Better than the you would think.
Rivak Hoffman,
430i 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
This one is a keeper. First impression is smooth quiet and raciness when you need it. The drivers cockpit it comfortable with all the tech you can ask for at your fingertips or through voice command “Hey BMW”. The car looks great and in my opinion the grill gives a new positive twist to the BMW image. I have owned a 2020 M4 Competition and sold it early due to the stiff uncomfortable … ride. Not a good daily commute, and can only use a small fraction of the power output on local streets.
If your looking for a good looking BMW with great acceleration that can become a smooth daily commute, then consider the new 430i series.

This car is a head turner. Not only the aesthetic but the technology in this car is bar-none. It has the speed, agility, and safety features to come along with. I fell in love with BMW after my SUV. I decided to get the coupe this time. Best of both worlds!

Compare the BMW 4 Series
BMW 4 Series vs. Audi A5
Like the BMW 4 Series, the Audi A5 lineup offers a coupe and a convertible equipped with a four-cylinder (A5) or a six-cylinder (S5) engine. All-wheel drive is standard on the Audi, which also costs less in base specification and includes real leather in every trim. However, several features standard on the BMW are optional in the Audi, and driving enthusiasts are sure to appreciate that the 4 Series is available in a traditional rear-wheel-drive configuration.
BMW 4 Series vs. Infiniti Q60
Equipped with more power at a lower price, the Infiniti Q60 delivers appealing style and undeniable value in a luxury coupe. However, the Q60's standard twin-turbocharged V6 engine is significantly less efficient than the engines in the 4 Series, and the Infiniti lags the more sophisticated BMW in its infotainment, driver assist and collision avoidance technology. We also find the Q60 less engaging to drive than the 4 Series.
BMW 4 Series vs. Lexus RC 300
To get a Lexus RC with all-wheel drive, you must choose the RC 300 with a detuned V6 engine making less collective power than the BMW 430i's standard turbocharged four-cylinder. The Lexus is also heavier and more ponderous to drive, gets worse fuel economy, offers less passenger and cargo space, and lacks the BMW's technological sophistication. Between these two models, the BMW is the better choice.
