TheBMW 4 Series is a range ofcompact executive cars manufactured byBMW since 2013. The 4 Series was created when BMW spun off the 2-door models (coupé and convertible) of the3 Series into a separate series. The 4 Series is currently in its second generation.
The original 4 Seriesconcept car was unveiled in January 2013 at theNorth American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan.[1][2] Both generations have been produced in the coupé, convertible and 5-door liftback (marketed as "Gran Coupé") body styles. The 4 series body style is very similar to that of the all electricBMW i4.[3]
The engines available for the first generation were turbocharged inline-3, inline-4 and inline-6 engines fueled by petrol or diesel. For the second generation, aplug-in hybrid powertrain was introduced. As per the equivalent 3 Series generations, the 4 Series' drivetrain layout is rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive ("xDrive").
TheBMW M4 is the high-performance version of the 4 Series. The first generation of the M4 is called the F82/F83 and uses the same turbocharged inline-six petrol engine as the F80/F81 M3.
The first generation of the 4 Series consists of the following body styles:
This generation was produced from 2014 to 2020 and is often collectively referred to as the F32. The F32 was introduced as the successor to theE92/E93 coupé/convertible models of the fifth-generation 3 Series range. The F32 is produced alongside - and shares many features with - theF30 3 Series. As with the F30 3 Series range, the F32/F33/F36 is powered by turbocharged petrol and diesel engines with 3 cylinders (petrol only), 4 cylinders, and 6 cylinders.
The high performanceF82/F83 M4 models were introduced in early 2014.[4] They are powered by theS55 turbocharged straight-six engine.

The second generation of the 4 Series consists of the following body styles:
This generation was launched in June 2020 and is currently in production. The G22/G23/G26 will be produced alongside - and shares many features with - theG20 3 Series. As with the G20 3 Series range, the G22/G23/G26 will be powered by turbocharged petrol and diesel engines.
Unlike its predecessor, the new 4 Series has a significant departure in design from the 3 Series in order to distinguish between the two models and to move the 4 Series upscale. The most notable of the design changes is the large kidney grille at the front which was inspired by the 1930sBMW 328.[5]
In January 2021, the BMW 420i M Sport (M Sport Pro Package) was namedCoupé of the Year byWhat Car? magazine.[6] What Car? awarded the 4 Series Coupé five stars out of five in its review of the car.[7]
