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.

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 −5.3% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.98%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.5% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $47,993. The BMW 4 Series offers a distinctive, premium-feeling design that helps it stand apart from more conventional luxury coupes and sedans.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Our 430i RWD test vehicle 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.
• Starting price: the complimentary maintenance plan, which covers all scheduled services during the first three years or 36,000 miles of driving, doesn't do much to offset the car's high price tag.

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.
