Why it stands out

The 2020 BMW 4 Series stands out because it marked a clear shift in the model’s identity. BMW gave it a much more muscular look, a less sedan-like profile, and a towering new interpretation of the brand’s twin kidney grille, making it more visually distinct than the car it was based on. It also grew by five inches in length over the first-generation model, which helped give it a stronger presence. For shoppers who want a premium coupe or convertible that feels more individual than a conventional luxury car, that design separation is a major part of the appeal.

It is also a well-equipped and performance-focused package. At launch, the range included the 430i with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and the M440i xDrive with a 3.0-litre inline six and mild-hybrid technology, with outputs of 255 horsepower and 386 horsepower respectively. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, and the 430i was initially offered with rear-wheel drive or xDrive all-wheel drive. Standard equipment on 430i and 430i xDrive models includes LED headlights, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, SensaTec upholstery, power front sport seats, a rear-view camera, adaptive cruise control and satellite navigation, while M440i models add M Sport suspension and brakes, run-flat tires, an M steering wheel, bespoke alloy wheels, Sensatec dashboard trim, a rear spoiler and keyless entry.

The 2020 BMW 4 Series also benefits from a cabin and feature set that were updated over time without losing the model’s core character. In 2023, BMW Curved Display replaced the previous separate display and touchscreen, combining a 12.3-inch driver display with a 14.9-inch center screen. A facelift in early 2024 for the 2025 model year brought mild design tweaks, new interior trims, new exterior color options, revised LED headlights and taillights, and an updated mild-hybrid system that was also added to the 430i. The main drawback is that the styling is not to everyone’s taste, but for buyers who value strong performance, generous equipment and a more distinctive design, the 2020 BMW 4 Series has a lot going for it.
