German carmaker takes a styling gamble with contentiously large kidney grille on its new coupé

Thrill grille: the new 4 Series Coupé takes styling inspiration from yesteryear’s Beemers. Picture: SUPPLIED

Except this grille, rather than just being very wide, is vertically elongated and reminiscent of the air intakes of BMW’s 2000C cars of the 1960s and also the 328 of the 1930s. The stretched stance and tapered roofline make the car look very distinct from the 3 Series sedan. Picture: SUPPLIED The centre of gravity is 21mm lower than the 3 Series sedan’s, and tweaks to the chassis geometry give the new 4 Series Coupé a sporty character all of its own.

The range-topping 440i xDrive is a mild hybrid car with a 48V starter-generator that provides an additional 8kW electric boost to the 275kW/500Nm six-cylinder 3.0turbo engine, for extra overtaking or off-the-line acceleration. The starter-generator also improves fuel consumption by assisting the engine while driving at a constant speed.The other two variants are rear-wheel driven and have four-cylinder 2.0turbo engines.
