Restyling thoroughly went through the entire brand line of the 4th series of prestigious bMW cars with bodies: sedan, coupe and convertible. All models are finalized in terms of updating appearance, salon interior and increasing the speed characteristics of the engine range. The 2019 BMW 4 Series is geared towards youth driver's category, but also fully meets the needs of motorists of other age groups.

Analysis of the photo suggests that the refinement of the body design is largely focused on the aggressive properties of the traditional corporate identity and the improvement of the parameters of lighting equipment.

• With a moderate body size, its frontal part looks massive and solid. In the list design features - the longitudinal relief located in the center of the wide bonnet, two characteristic for lineup BMW cars radiator grilles and standard arrangement of powerful xenon optics units.
• The central part of the wide body kit is occupied by an air intake for supplying air to the engine compartment, two side cutouts with built-in fog lights are designed to cool the brakes.
• When viewed from the side, the 2019 BMW 4 features a roof contour sloping down to the boot, a dark perimeter of relatively small windows connecting the tall wheel arches with a wide longitudinal profile.
• The side body decor is complemented by a new configuration of rear-view mirrors, sport side skirts and air diffusers located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe front fenders.

The new model looks no less prestigious from the back of the body. There is a smooth transition of the rear glazing into a short and wide cover luggage compartment, an exclusive shape of large-format stops, a metal body kit, complete with fog light lines and twin tailpipes.

The shape of the steering wheel with auxiliary control elements located on the spokes does not interfere with the view of the instrument panel with classic round indicators and a built-in monitor of the on-board computer device.

The front row seats provide the highest level of road comfort. The standard equipment includes:

• lateral support;

After restyling, the BMW 4-Series Coupe models received an upgraded suspension, which became noticeably stiffer than the previous one. Both basic versions and cars with M-suspension and adaptive chassis received similar improvements.

The line of power units of "fours" is represented by three petrol (420i, 430i and 440i) and three diesel (420d, 430d and 435d xDrive) modifications. When restyling, the Germans decided to leave the gasoline engines unchanged, so they still develop from 184 to 326 hp, but the output of the heavy fuel units was slightly increased. The two-liter engine on the 420d now produces 190 forces (+ 6), and the performance of the 435d xDrive engine reaches 313 "horses".

The proprietary xDrive all-wheel drive system is available for 12 different modifications of the BMW 4-series, with the most powerful diesel version it is already "in the base". Cars should reach the Russian market in April 2017, and the prices are promised to be announced a little earlier.

Despite such a low demand, we will tell you in detail about all the innovations that updated models BMW 4-Series.

Outwardly, the German practically did not change. You might even think that the designers decided not to work on updating the exterior at all, however, this is not entirely true. For example, experts have improved the head lighting of a car, which now works exclusively on LED-elements. It is worth recalling that earlier the headlights were bi-xenon.

Not only the headlights, but also the dimensions (including the rear ones), as well as foglights, have become LED.

Back in 2012, BMW decided to spin off the coupe on the basis of the new generation 3-series sedan. The development of the two-door was carried out quite slowly. So, first, the Bavarians presented a conceptual version of the model at the Detroit Motor Show 2013, and in the fall of the same year, as part of the motor show in Frankfurt, the serial version of the "four" debuted.

Despite a number of borrowings from "treshki" new bmw The 4-Series in the back of the F32 turned out to be a completely independent model, sales of two-doors started at the end of 2013. And already at the beginning of 2017, the Germans carried out a planned restyling of the coupe, slightly refreshing the exterior and interior of the car, as well as expanding its equipment.

Exterior

When you first met new model 2018-2019 BMW 4-series of the year it may seem that the two-door is almost an exact copy of the sedan, but in fact everything body parts here are original, and only the hood is the same as on the sedan. The differences between the models lie in the details.

So, in front of the "four" has a different bumper, while visually it seems that the headlights were simply taken and transferred from the "three" without changes, but in fact it is not. The shape of the optics has undergone minor adjustments, and the company has tried to slightly smooth out its sharp corners.

The headlights of the BMW 4-Series Coupe (F32) merge with the chrome trim of the branded two-piece radiator grille, and the front fenders (just behind the wheel arches) have aerodynamic inserts that resemble boomerangs. Such elements went to the car from the 3-Series GT.

Looking at the car in profile, it catches the eye with a sporty silhouette with a hunched line of the bonnet, which received this shape largely due to strict safety requirements. In addition, the car has a heavily "piled up" rear pillar.

At the rear of the 2017 BMW 4 Coupe, other lights are installed, the shape of which, albeit slightly, but still differs from the sedan's lights. As you can see, the coupe has many differences compared to the original and looks more sporty, so it is not surprising that the Bavarians decided to make the two-door a separate model.

Salon

The interior of the pre-reform BMW 4-Series is almost an exact copy of the 3-Series, but during the restyling the Bavarians tried to diversify its design, using glossy black and chrome inserts. In addition, the Germans have added several new trim options, with the coupe's interior looking most impressive in red.

Behind the three-spoke steering wheel, which can be swapped for an M-series steering wheel for a surcharge, is an analog instrument cluster with four gauges located under the weighty dashboard visor.

The layout of the center console is quite standard for Bavarian cars. In its upper part there is a small screen of the multimedia system, under which there are ventilation deflectors, an audio system and climate control.

In general, the ergonomics of the interior of the BMW 4-series 2017-2018 are no different from other models of the brand, and drivers familiar with the manufacturer's cars will feel at home in the cabin of the "four", since they will not have to get used to the location of the controls.

Although the new BMW 4er Coupe turned out to be a few centimeters lower than the sedan, this was not significantly reflected in the free space of the passenger compartment. Landing on the front sports seats is light and relaxed, but getting out here is more difficult. The driver can use the steering wheel as a fulcrum, but the passenger next to him has to rely solely on his dexterity.

Sitting on the back sofa, which here is designed strictly for two people, is a little more difficult, but this disadvantage is inherent in most cars of this class. Tall people will have to curl up slightly to land, making their way inside, but on the road it is quite comfortable to be behind.

Specifications

Overall dimensions bMW dimensions 4-series coupes Ф32 are 4,640 mm long, 1,830 mm wide and 1,360 mm high. The two-door wheelbase is 2,810 millimeters. When loaded, the vehicle weighs from 1,570 to 1,685 kg (depending on the selected modification).

Coupé cars rarely have roomy trunk, however, the cargo compartment of the BMW 4-Series is designed for quite a solid 445 liters. In addition, if necessary, the backrests of the rear sofa can be folded into the floor, significantly increasing the boot capacity.

Front BMW 4-series 2017-2018 installed independent suspension type MacPherson, from the back - multi-link. The Bavarians tried to optimize its settings, so the car overcomes small obstacles (for example, tram rails) quite easily, without discomfort on potholes and potholes. Ground clearance model is 140 mm.

Ventilated disc brakes are responsible for braking here, while 17-inch discs with 225/50 tires are installed on the wheels by default (for a surcharge, you can order 19 ″ wheels).

In Russia, the base engine for a two-door is a 2.0-liter "turbo four", developing 184 hp. and 270 Nm. The 420i modification is equipped with such an engine. Also, the BMW 4 can be ordered with a turbodiesel of the same volume, which produces 190 forces and 400 Nm of torque (modification 420d).

The more powerful version 430i is equipped with a 2.0-liter engine with 249 "horses" (350 Nm). The top modification of the model is the 440i, which relies on a 3.0-liter "six" with a return of 326 "horses".

All motors work in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic. The proprietary xDrive all-wheel drive system is available as an option for the 420i and 420d, while the rest of the model has four-wheel drive already in the database.
