BMW’s updated 4 Series range will bring refreshed styling and revised handling when it goes on sale later this week.

The latest 4 Series range will be showcased at this spring’s Geneva Motor Show.

Comprising the Coupé, Convertible and Gran Coupé models, the latest 4 Series range will be showcased at this spring’s Geneva Motor Show and offers tweaked styling, bringing closer links to the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupé revealed in 2012, including elements such as a large air intake with eye-catching bars with LED headlights and rear lights. More bespoke 18 and 19-inch wheel choices are offered along with new exterior paint finishes.

The interior introduces new upgraded details, including electroplated detailing, an updated sports steering wheel and a high-gloss black cover panel for the centre console.

BMW has also updated the navigation, telephone connectivity, display and controls. The Professional navigation system, which comes as standard on M Sport trim, includes a new user interface.

The range also offers the Digital Cockpit as an option, providing a choice of different digital display options for the instrument cluster. This displays driving information for the chosen mode, covering Comfort, Eco Pro and Sport.

The Apple CarPlay smartphone interface is available as an option, allowing optimum integration of an Apple iPhone in the new BMW 4 Series models.

The updated range also features the BMW Connected personalised digital mobility assistant, which can be used in BMW models with ConnectedDrive Services specified. This comes as standard on the new BMW 4 Series models with the M Sport package or optionally available with the Professional navigation package.

Engine line-up covers three petrol engines: the 420i with 181bhp, the 430i with 249bhp and the top-of-the-range 440i with 322bhp. Combined fuel consumption is 35.8-51.4mpg, while CO2 emissions range from 127g/km to 185g/km.

There is also a choice of three diesel engines: the 420d with 187bhp, 430d with 254bhp and 435d xDrive with 309bhp. Combined fuel consumption ranges from 47.9-70.6mpg with CO2 emissions of 106-155g/km.

Depending on the particular model, the BMW 4 Series Coupé, BMW 4 Series Convertible and BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé can be specified with either a six-speed manual gearbox or eight-speed Steptronic transmission.

All petrol models in the new BMW 4 Series – with the exception of the BMW 420i Convertible – plus the BMW 420d Coupé/BMW 420d Gran Coupé and BMW 430d Coupé/BMW 430d Gran Coupé diesel models, can be specified with the optional BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive system instead of classic rear-wheel drive.

In addition, the 2017 4 Series Coupé and Gran Coupé both now come with stiffer suspension, featuring more advanced damping technology and an upgraded steering set-up.

Trim line-up sees the Coupé and Convertible models now start with the Sport model, with the M Sport model available for all engines or as standard on the 430i, 430d/430d xDrive, 435d xDrive and 440i models.

The Gran Coupé models start from SE for the 420d/420d xDrive models moving to the Sport model as standard for the 420i/420i xDrive models. As with the Coupé and Convertible models, 430i, 430d/430d xDrive, 435d xDrive and 440i models come as M Sport only.

The BMW 4 Series range is available to order from 19 January 2017 and OTR prices start at £32,525 for the 4 Series Gran Coupe.
