Pricing for the all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe has been loaded onto BMW South Africa’s website, suggesting a local debut is imminent. Here is the pricing for the Bavarian 4-door Gran Coupe.
The 4 Series Gran Coupe is essentially a sportier-looking 3 Series with a liftback tailgate, or you could look at it as a 4-door coupe. There’s no direct rival from Mercedes-Benz, but the Audi A5 Sportback offers similar packaging. Compared to the outgoing model, the new 4 Series Gran Coupe is 143 mm longer, 27 mm wider, 53 mm taller and has a wheelbase that’s 46 mm longer. The wheelbase is actually 5 mm longer than the 3 Series as well. The expanded dimensions have resulted in a 470-litre boot, which is 39 litres bigger than before and an overall luggage space of 1 290 litres with the rear seats folded down.
Engine lineup for the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe
BMW SA has confirmed a 3-model lineup for the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Starting off with the 420i Gran Coupe, this model features a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine delivering 135 kW and 300 Nm. A claimed 0-100 kph of 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 235 kph are being offered, as well as a claimed fuel economy figure of 6.5 L/100 km.
The diesel 420d Gran Coupe is the next derivative and it’ll come to market with a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel motor serving up 140 kW and 400 Nm. It has a claimed 0-100 kph time and top speed of 7.5 seconds and 233 kph respectively. It’ll be the lightest on fuel here, with a claimed consumption figure of just 4.9 L/100 km.
Headlining the range is the BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupe and comes out swinging with a 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder petrol engine delivering 285 kW and 500 Nm. It’s capable of dispatching the 0-100 kph sprint in a claimed 4.7 seconds and run to a top speed of 250 kph. It’ll be the thirstiest of the bunch at 8.2 L/100 km, but you have to pay for that baby M3 performance somehow…

Options
The 4 Series Gran Coupe is available with a number of options. By cleverly grouping the most sensible and commonly-picked options into the Deluxe package for R40 000 for your 420i and 420d, you get a glass sunroof, parking assist, reverse camera and electrical adjustment for the front two seats. There is a choice of colours, most are no-cost options, but some retail for R32 100.
The BMW M440i xDrive comes fully loaded, but a quick glance at some of the options on the configurator turned up Laserlights for R16 500, heated front seats for R6 100, heated steering wheel for R3 050, Parking assistant plus for R8 300 and a trailer hitch for R12 700 to name but a few.
