Is the BMW 4 Series a good car?

Yes — the BMW 4 Series earns strong owner approval across the lineup, and its appeal is anchored by a 4.6/5 all-generations user rating.

Which BMW 4 Series trim should I buy?

The 2022 BMW 4 Series offers these trims:

• M440i xDrive: The M440i xDrive adds M Performance design, Shadowline trim treatment, all-wheel drive, and the stronger performance-oriented hardware and features, making it the choice if you want the most athletic version in this year’s lineup.

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 body style, trim, and price, which makes it easier to find a used 4 Series that fits your budget and equipment priorities. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so pricing and deal activity are usually easier to compare.

What is the BMW 4 Series's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is helpful if you’re shopping used because it points to softer pricing across much of the lineup.

The 2015, 2018, and 2022 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 2026 model is at −6.45% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −6.1%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 36.9% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $47,368. The BMW 4 Series offers a distinctive, upscale driving character that blends sporty handling with a premium feel.

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 for use in heavy traffic.
• 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.
