BMW Australia has confirmed new pricing and specifications that apply locally for the 4 Series coupe and convertible, as well as its hotter M4 variants, after the brand revealed an update globally yesterday.
The 2024 BMW 4 Series now starts from $106,500 before on-road costs, its most affordable variant now the BMW 420i Convertible, the only 4 Series to now use the lower output '20i' drivetrain in the 4 Series range.
BMW has ditched the 420i Coupe, 430i Convertible and even the rear-drive M4 Competition for the 2024 model year leaving the 420i Convertible, 430i Coupe, an M440i xDrive in each style, and the M4 range consisting of a base manual M4 plus a Coupe and Convertible in all-wheel drive M4 Competition xDrive guise.
BMW Australia has confirmed the updates for the revised line-up will consist of the styling changes as well as some new feature additions.
New headlight designs with 'non-dazzling matrix high beam' plus 'Laserlight' taillights which create a more 'intricate light graphic' are headline changes, while new paint finishes and new light-alloy wheels are also available, the latter in three new 19-inch designs.
Sports seats as standard join the new (heated) steering wheel design which features a flat-bottom shape and a centre marking, while a key tech change is the BMW Curved Display for multimedia duties, running BMW's new Operating System 8.5.
The 430i Coupe gains heated front seats, as well as an electric glass sunroof, while the convertible 420i gains adaptive M suspension, 'air collar' venting for better climate control with the roof down, as well as Driving Assistant Professional and Parking Assistant Plus.
Both variants of M440i xDrive gain CraftedClarity glass treatment for its controls and a tyre pressure monitor.
Specific to the M4 Competition variants is a slight bump up in power, the turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine under the bonnet (and driving all four wheels) now making 390kW instead of the 385kW previous.
The base M4 Coupe gains a smaller addition, the 'Luxury instrument panel' as an M-specific 'cockpit' arrangement.
The new 4 Series range lands in Australian showrooms in the second quarter of 2024. Full pricing changes for the new range can be found in the tables below.
