(+Ex-Factory Price)The BMW 4 Series gives Australian buyers a choice of stylish coupé, convertible and four-door Gran Coupé body styles with a stronger visual and dynamic focus than the related 3 Series. Its rear-wheel-drive-based platform, modern curved-display cabin and range of efficient four-cylinder and powerful six-cylinder engines make it suitable for everyday commuting, weekend touring and open-top driving, while M Sport and M Performance variants add sharper responses and more distinctive styling.
The BMW 4 Series is the brand’s style-focused mid-size range, offered in Australia as a two-door Coupé, open-top Convertible and practical four-door Gran Coupé. It shares important engineering with the 3 Series but uses a more expressive exterior design and lower, more sporting proportions. This broad body-style choice allows the 4 Series to serve different buyers: the Coupé prioritises classic two-door design, the Convertible adds open-air touring, and the Gran Coupé provides easier rear access and a large liftback cargo opening.
Australian variants range from efficient four-cylinder models to six-cylinder M Performance versions such as the M440i xDrive. Exact availability differs between body styles, but every version is designed to provide a more dynamic feel than a mainstream sedan. Rear-wheel drive is used on selected variants, while xDrive all-wheel drive features on higher-performance models. The engines are paired with automatic transmissions and deliver smooth, responsive acceleration, with the six-cylinder versions offering substantially stronger performance and a more distinctive character.
The cabin features BMW’s Curved Display, connected navigation, smartphone integration and driver-focused controls. Front-seat space and comfort are strong across the range, but rear accommodation varies significantly. The Gran Coupé is the easiest for passengers and luggage, while the two-door Coupé requires more effort to access the rear. The Convertible also sacrifices some boot space to its folding roof. Buyers should consider how often they carry adults, child seats or bulky luggage before selecting the body style.
On Australian roads, the 4 Series combines accurate steering, secure handling and stable high-speed behaviour. M Sport suspension and large wheels can make rough surfaces more noticeable, particularly on Coupé and Convertible variants fitted with low-profile tyres. The M440i xDrive provides very strong traction and acceleration, while four-cylinder models offer a more economical and relaxed ownership proposition. Wind management is important in the Convertible, and optional neck-warming or wind-deflector features can improve open-top comfort depending on specification.
The BMW 4 Series is best for buyers who want stronger design appeal than a conventional executive sedan but still require modern technology and everyday usability. Its key compromises are rear-seat access, option pricing and potentially firm ride quality. The Gran Coupé is the most practical version, the Coupé is the most traditional, and the Convertible offers the greatest sense of occasion. Australian buyers should compare standard equipment, wheel sizes, drivetrain and luggage needs before ordering. Selected carefully, the 4 Series provides one of the broadest combinations of style, performance and body choice in BMW’s local range.
Body-style selection is the most important 4 Series decision. The Coupé offers the cleanest two-door proportions, the Convertible adds open-air enjoyment, and the Gran Coupé provides better access and cargo flexibility. Buyers should test rear-seat entry, boot shape and visibility in the exact version they prefer. Wheel size and suspension specification also influence comfort on Australian roads. Confirming local standard equipment and optional packages is essential because features shown in international material may not match every Australian vehicle.
For frequent touring, seat comfort, wind noise and luggage access should also be assessed during an extended test drive.
