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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2026 model is at −7.34% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −5.85%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.5% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $46,869. The BMW 4 Series offers a stylish, premium driving experience with a strong blend of performance and everyday comfort.

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. Instead, it has a lighter and more lively feel from behind the wheel, thanks to old-fashioned BMW goodness baked right in. 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: It's part of the 4 Series Gran Coupe's standard Live Cockpit Professional setup, which pairs a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment display. 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: Active Driving Assistant is standard on every 4 Series Gran Coupe. This collection of driving assistance and collision avoidance technologies includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, low-speed automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assistance, an active blind-spot warning system, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Starting price: Our Sunset Orange 430i test vehicle included an extra-cost paint charge, leather seats, a Shadowline Package, a Premium Package, a Parking Assistance Package, an M Sport Package, and a Dynamic Handling Package. In other words, it had almost everything you can add to a 430i, bringing 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.
