BMW presented the redesigned 4 Series Gran Coupé and i4 Gran Coupé that now come with more power. Both refreshed editions come a few months after the introduction of redesigned Coupé and Cabrio versions of the same BMW 4 Series.
Both versions come with lower LED front light housings, new 19″ and 20″ rims, rear light housings with laser technology taken over from the M4 CSL model and a new multimedia system. Also, the turbo-petrol engines have been improved, which are now assisted by a 48-volt mild hybrid system that brings an additional 11 hp.
The BMW 430i Gran Coupé is powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine that produces 255 hp (290 kW), instead of the previous 245 hp (183 kW), and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. BMW claims that this version consumes less fuel than its predecessor. Power is sent to the rear or all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The BMW M440i Gran Coupé is powered by a 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 386 hp (288 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of maximum torque, instead of the previous 382 hp (285 kW) and 369 lb-ft ( 500 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear or all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The BMW i4 Gran Coupé (40 eDrive) is powered by a single electric motor with 340 hp and 430 Nm of torque, while the more powerful M50 version is powered by two electric motors that combine to produce 544 hp and 795 Nm of torque. Both versions are equipped with an 83.9 kWh battery that provides a range of 590 km (40 eDrive), and the more powerful version (M50) has a range of up to 520 kilometers.
Both versions (Series 4 Gran Coupé and i4 Gran Coupé) are equipped with a large curved display behind which is BMW’s new iDrive 8.5 multimedia system, which in the i4 version comes with a map of battery charging stations.
Production of the refreshed BMW Series 4 Gran Coupé and i4 Gran Coupé starts in a few months.
