What should I look for when buying a used BMW 4 Series?

Which BMW 4 Series trim should I buy?

The 2022 BMW 4 Series offers...

• 430i: The 430i is the best-value trim, with Sport or M Sport styling and a strong mix of performance and equipment for shoppers who want the core 4 Series experience.
• M440i: The M440i adds M Performance design with partial or full blacked-out Shadowline trim treatment, plus the Dynamic Handling Package on the test vehicle, making it the pick if you want the most aggressive look and the most capability.

What BMW 4 Series do most buyers choose?

The BMW 4 Series years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also sit in the part of the lineup where newer features and broader availability overlap.

What is the BMW 4 Series's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to avoid paying peak prices. The steepest drops are concentrated in some older and recent model years, while a few years are falling more slowly. That gives you several entry points depending on whether you want the newest features or the lowest purchase price.

The 2015, 2018, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the BMW 4 Series safe?

• 2021: 6/10
• 2015: 7/10
• 2014: 7/10

Active Driving Assistant is standard on every 4 Series Gran Coupe.

For the safest used buy, the 2022 model posts the highest confirmed score of 8/10.

Should I buy a used BMW 4 Series now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −4.97% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.74%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $48,149. The BMW 4 Series offers a distinctive, style-forward design that helps it stand apart from more conventional luxury coupes and sedans.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 430i Gran Coupe had a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine making 255 horsepower and 294 pound-feet of torque, and BMW's quoted 5.8 seconds from rest to 60 mph is credible.
• Tech: The iDrive 7 system also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, Amazon Alexa compatibility, and a cloud-based navigation system kept current by over-the-air updates.
• Safety: The Driving Assistance Professional Package adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-centering assistance, lane-change assistance, evasive steering assistance, front cross-traffic alert, and a Traffic Jam Assistant system for use in heavy traffic.
• Starting price: the 430i test vehicle came with a price of $57,295, including a $995 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
