2017 BMW 4 Series Coupe

A near-perfect specimen of its class, the BMW 4 Series Coupe offers a powerful engine, sporty handling, and… well, a cramped back seat.

A luxury coupe might seem difficult to afford because of its high price tag and high insurance costs. However, there’re plenty of winsome touring vehicles from former decades that offer an excellent balance between price and performance. Allow

Style in a small package: the 2017 BMW 4 Series Coupe

After splitting from the 3 Series in 2014, the BMW 4 Series has only gotten more athletic. A 10/10 rating on Car and Driver reflects 2017’s perfect combination of brute force and refinement
The base
430i trim
($43,145) features a 2.0L turbo inline-four gas engine that generates 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. An optional 3.0L turbo inline-six provides 320 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque in the more powerful 440i ($49,495). For an additional $2,000, the coupe can be equipped with all-wheel xDrive; a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission are both complimentary.
Your choice of powertrain, drive train, and transmission determines not only your starting price but your fuel economy. Pick wisely, because the 2017 4 Series only drinks premium gas!

Is the 2017 BMW 4 Series Coupe comfortable?

The good news is that you should be able to fit all your luggage in the trunk's 15.7 cubic feet. The bad news is that the four-seater 4 Series would get high marks for its supportive sports seats—if they weren't also so cramped in the back. As it is, the front and rear have an 8.5-inch difference in legroom.
By contrast, drivers and front passengers enjoy 10-way power seating controls and optional heating and lumbar support. Seat options include premium synthetic Sensatec upholstery in Black, Black/Red, or Venetian Beige; 10 Dakota leather colors; and four BMW Individual Merino leather colors. You can customize the door, dash, and instrument panel inserts with nine interior trims (including three premium BMW Individual choices).

Is the 2017 BMW 4 Series Coupe reliable?

In its 2017 list of premium compact cars, JD Power awarded the BMW 4 Series bronze while rating it 90/100 for reliability and quality. It's shocking, then, that Consumer Reports only gave it a 1/5.
Why the disparity? It appears that CR survey respondents in 2017 reported more issues with the model's electronics, drive system, and cooling system.

Is the 2017 BMW 4 Series Coupe safe?

Both the NHTSA and IIHS did not rate the 2017 4 Series Coupe. All the standard features are there though, like a backup camera, lane-departure warning system, and rear parking sensor. Besides traction and stability control, you also get braking assistance. 
If you want to upgrade, look for a model with lane-keeping assistance, cross-traffic alerts, and adaptive cruise control. All three can be found in the Driving Assistance Professional package($1,700) or in the even more generous Driver Assistance Plus package. In the latter, a camera system on the side and top watches out for accidents, along with an early collision warning system.

2017 BMW 4 Series Coupe trim levels

In 2017, the
430i
Coupe SULEV sold for $43,145. Standard options include:
  • 18-inch aluminum wheels
  • Adaptive xenon headlights and fog lights
  • Sunroof
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 6.5-inch display with iDrive interface
  • Nine-speaker audio system with HD Radio, a CD tray, an auxiliary audio connection, and Bluetooth
440i Coupe ($49,495) emphasizes comfort and convenience, including:
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Hands-free trunk latch release
  • Four-way power lumbar adjustments
  • Satellite radio
  • 16-speaker Harman-Kardon audio system
A parallel/perpendicular parking assistant and Apple CarPlay (but no Android Auto, unfortunately) can be equipped to any trim. But the most exciting changes are in the Dynamic Handling Package ($2,450) and the M Sport Package ($3,300).
Choose option one if you want a sport differential adaptive suspension and special wheel styling. Choose option two and you get a special steering wheel, rear spoiler, suspension, steering, and even more exterior cosmetics.
