BMW 4 Series (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Exceptionally good to drive, even by BMW's high standards	Controversial looks, in particular the grille
Superb interior quality	Convertible sacrifices some practicality
Brilliant infotainment system	Adaptive suspension costs extra

Quick Summary

The BMW 4 Series (2020-present) is a true stand-alone model based on similar underpinnings to the 3 Series saloon, featuring a lower ride height, wider rear axle, and more direct steering. Available as a Coupe, Convertible, or Gran Coupe, it offers exceptional driving dynamics with a rigid body shell that provides impeccable ride quality and handling. The regular Coupe delivers 440 litres of boot space, whilst the Gran Coupe's hatchback provides 470 litres—nearly estate car levels of practicality. The Convertible features a fabric roof and remains one of the best-handling four-seat convertibles available.

The engine line-up ranges from the efficient 420i with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol to the legendary 3.0-litre straight-six M440i xDrive. The 420d diesel offers impressive economy with twin-turbocharging and mild hybrid technology, achieving up to 61mpg. All engines pair with a smooth eight-speed automatic gearbox. The interior showcases BMW's renowned quality with soft-touch leather, piano-black highlights, and the intuitive iDrive infotainment system. Running costs are reasonable, with fixed-price servicing available at £25 per month, and residual values expected to remain strong as the model gains desirability.

Best for: Drivers seeking exceptional handling and refinement, those who value premium interior quality, and buyers wanting an engaging daily driver with advanced technology and safety systems.

Not ideal for: Those sensitive to controversial styling, buyers prioritising maximum practicality over performance, or those unwilling to pay extra for adaptive suspension.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 4 Series if: You're seeking exceptional handling and refinement, value premium interior quality, or want an engaging daily driver with advanced technology and safety systems.

Consider alternatives if: You're sensitive to controversial styling, prioritise maximum practicality over performance, or are unwilling to pay extra for adaptive suspension.

Competitive Position: The BMW 4 Series (2020-present) is an exceptional driving machine that stands out amongst its rivals for engaging performance and dynamics. Its superb interior quality, advanced infotainment system, and high levels of standard equipment make it a joy to own and drive daily. Whilst the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A5 offer strong alternatives with slightly better value propositions, the 4 Series' superior driving experience and refinement justify its premium positioning. The BMW 3 Series F30 remains equally impressive as a saloon alternative, offering comparable ratings and better value, but the 4 Series' distinctive coupe styling and handling prowess appeal to those seeking something more engaging.
