BMW's Australian line-up was given a price adjustment earlier this year, but a few models such as the 4 Series escaped the price rise. No longer, as the model is updated for 2023.
While prices are up by several thousand dollars for each of the nine non-M variants of 4 Series, BMW has also added useful features to each in the 2023 model year update, which it says correlate to the extra cost.
The whole 4 Series range gains BMW's new curved display for its driver instrument display and multimedia system, with screens measuring 12.3- and 14.9-inches respectively within the construct.
All models also gain BMW's Individual Shadow Line pack, which adds black trim in places like the grille surround and exhaust tips.
The cheapest 4 Series, the 420i Coupe, now starts from $81,100 before on-road costs, an increase of $5600 over its earlier price.
It's mechanically the same as before, with a 135kW/300Nm turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and eight-speed automatic gearbox, but now comes with keyless entry, active cruise control and a head-up display.
These changes also apply to the convertible, now $100,400, and the Gran Coupe, now $83,500.
The 430i gains M Sport seats, a head-up display and Sensatec synthetic leather for the instrument panel trim. The Coupe variant also gains an auto tailgate, so its price increase of $7800 is the highest of all the 4 Series adjustments - it now starts from $104,700.
The 430i Gran Coupe starts from $93,700 and the convertible from $119,600, but all are still powered by a 190kW/400Nm version of the 2.0-litre engine.
Finally, the all-wheel-drive M440i xDrive variants of each bodystyle gain M Sport seats, and are priced at $132,100 for the Coupe, $148,400 for the Convertible and $129,000 for the Gran Coupe.
Its larger turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six engine is unchanged, making 285kW and 500Nm.
"BMW constantly reviews its pricing structure throughout the year, taking into consideration a number of different factors," a BMW Australia spokesperson told CarsGuide.
"However, we always aim to ensure our products remain appropriately positioned and represent a competitive pricing proposition in the market for our customers."
The updated versions of the 4 Series are expected to arrive in the middle of 2023.
