2025 BMW 4 Series

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.

This 2002 BMW E46 M3 costs $99,999 USD

The BMW M3 has been on the market since 1986, and since then it has become the favorite model of the Bavarian manufacturer among sports car enthusiasts. It was offered in coupe and convertible body styles until 2014, when it was rebranded as the high-performance variant of the 4 Series, the M4. It was produced in several generations, and in 2000 the E46 3 Series arrived on the market. A car from this generation, the 2002 BMW E46 M3 is for sale and the owner is asking $99,999.

The car is powered by a 3.2-L naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine with 333 hp (248 kW) and 269 lb-ft (365 Nm) of torque. This is enough to push the 1,570 kg (3,461 lb) car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.2 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

This BMW E46 M3 is finished in Imola red and is in excellent condition, so it is not surprising that the owner is asking quite a lot of money for it. It has rarely been driven, which is proven by only 18,750 km (11,700 miles) on the odometer.

Although 22 years old, the car is still owned by the first owner who bought it new. Its exterior is in excellent condition and has been well maintained, according to the photos. The interior has also been well-maintained over the past two decades, and although the leather-trimmed seats have creases, it’s still not an insurmountable problem. There is not much information about the car and what is known is that it has a clean Carfax report.
