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

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

Which BMW 4 Series trim should I buy?

The 2022 BMW 4 Series offers these trims:

• 430i: The 430i is the value play, with Sport or M Sport styling and a well-equipped setup that includes the core luxury and tech features most shoppers want.
• M440i: The M440i adds M Performance design, Shadowline trim treatment, and the stronger performance-oriented hardware and equipment that suit you if you want the most aggressive version.

What BMW 4 Series do most buyers choose?

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

The highest-volume years tend to be the most popular because they give you the broadest mix of availability, pricing, and equipment. That usually makes it easier to find the body style and feature set you want without narrowing your search too much.

What is the BMW 4 Series's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used and benefit from softer pricing. The declines are especially pronounced in several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples are changing more slowly. That pattern gives you more room to shop for value across the lineup.

The 2015, 2025, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the BMW 4 Series safe?

• 2022: 8/10
• 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 −4.31% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.53%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 30.2% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 29.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $48,391. The BMW 4 Series offers a premium-feeling cabin, distinctive styling, and an engaging driving character that make it appealing across model years.

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.
• 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, an Active Driving Assistant that combines the adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance and lane-change assistance technologies, and an emergency stop assistance system that can bring the car to a safe stop if the driver becomes unresponsive.
• Starting price: BMW does include its Ultimate Care program for all new 4 Series Gran Coupes, but 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.
