Chris Harris video: BMW 4 Series
The 3 Series coupe is now the 4 Series - got that? OK, now let Harris show you what it can do
Meanwhile we'll concentrate on more PH-worthy matters, namely, does killing off the 3 Series coupe lineage we've enjoyed for so long to spawn the 4 Series make a difference to our enjoyment of the car itself? You can read more on that here in Chris's review from the launch and also here with our follow-up story on the M Performance upgrades BMW will offer to make the base 4 Series less, as Chris would have it, 'Rich Tea' in flavour.
Will they do the trick? And were BMW's instructions for 'no drifting' in the track element of the launch drive obeyed to the letter? You probably could have guessed without the intro pic but suffice to say there's plenty more where that came from.
Got to say I can't quite come to terms with 4 series either. It just seems.... Odd? Honestly don't know why, got no problem with the other numbers but a 4 (or indeed 9) just seems wrong in a way that 2 doesn't. Maybe it is just familiarity.
Bit worrying that that's the only thing I can think of to discuss about the car too, I'm sure it's very capable but aren't coupes supposed to be desirable? Always liked the 3 series coupe but this one doesn't really do anything for me. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see one in the flesh.
The M435i will be the one for people who want a bit more of a driving car shirley?
Then the M4 above that though I'd expect it to be near £60,000 when it arrives.
But for me it's just too big/expensive/compromised now really. The M235i is what I'm really looking forward to now. A small ish 300bhp rwd car. Can't go wrong with that as a starting point
