Which BMW 4 Series trim should I buy?

The 2022 BMW 4 Series offers these trims:

What BMW 4 Series do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume years usually give you more choices in color, mileage, and trim, which makes it easier to compare similar cars and find one that fits your budget. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so the market around them is usually more active.

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 because it creates more room for value. The newer years in the table are also showing declines, so recent inventory may be easier to justify than it was a year ago. A few older years are changing more slowly, which suggests they have already absorbed a good portion of their price movement.

The 2015, 2016, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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 −5.0% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.68%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 35.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36.1%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $47,634. The BMW 4 Series offers a distinctive, premium driving character that blends style with an engaging feel behind the wheel.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 4 Series Gran Coupe and the Kia Stinger each weigh more than 4,000 pounds in top specification, but the BMW doesn't feel like it. Our 430i RWD test vehicle had a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine making 255 horsepower and 294 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: The standard Live Cockpit Professional setup pairs a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment display, and the iDrive 7 system also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Safety: Active Driving Assistant is standard on every 4 Series Gran Coupe, and 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 Traffic Jam Assistant.
• Starting price: Our Sunset Orange 430i test vehicle brought its price to $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 the next model year's inventory to build up.
