The BMW 4 Series has been a fan favorite since its initial release in 2013, and the 2019 model is no exception. With its sleek design, outstanding performance, and cutting-edge technology, the 4 Series continues to set the bar for luxury sports cars. In this article, we will explore the technical specifications, modifications, engine versions, trim levels, design, and handling of the BMW 4 Series 2019.
Technical Specifications
The BMW 4 Series 2019 is available in three body styles: Coupe, Gran Coupe, and Convertible. Each body style brings its unique blend of style and functionality. The base Coupe model has a length of 182.6 inches, a width of 71.9 inches, and a height of 54.2 inches. The Gran Coupe and Convertible models have similar dimensions, with the Gran Coupe offering more passenger space and the Convertible providing an open-top driving experience.
Modifications
One of the notable modifications in the 2019 model is the redesigned LED headlights and taillights, which give the car a more aggressive and futuristic look. The front and rear bumpers have also been slightly reworked to enhance aerodynamics and improve overall performance. Additionally, BMW has introduced new exterior paint colors and alloy wheel options, allowing owners to personalize their 4 Series to their liking.
Engine Versions
The BMW 4 Series 2019 offers a range of engine options to suit different preferences and driving styles. The 430i model comes equipped with a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline-4 engine, producing 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking more power, there is the 440i model, which boasts a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline-6 engine, delivering an impressive 320 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and precise shifts.
Trim Levels
The BMW 4 Series 2019 is available in three distinct trim levels: Sport Line, Luxury Line, and M Sport. The Sport Line offers a sportier appearance with unique exterior accents, sport seats, and a stiffer suspension setup. The Luxury Line, on the other hand, focuses on luxury and comfort, featuring premium leather upholstery, wood trim, and a more refined suspension tuning. For those seeking the ultimate driving experience, the M Sport trim adds an aggressive body kit, upgraded brakes, and a sport-tuned suspension.
Design
The design of the BMW 4 Series 2019 is a perfect blend of elegance and athleticism. The iconic kidney grille, sleek lines, and muscular proportions give the car a commanding presence on the road. Inside, the 4 Series offers a driver-focused cockpit with premium materials and modern technology. The intuitive infotainment system and digital instrument cluster provide seamless connectivity and easy access to all essential functions.
Handling
When it comes to handling, the BMW 4 Series 2019 shines. The well-balanced chassis, precise steering, and adaptive suspension deliver remarkable agility and responsiveness. Whether carving through winding roads or cruising on the highway, the 4 Series offers a thrilling driving experience. With optional xDrive all-wheel drive, the 4 Series provides enhanced traction and stability in various road conditions.
Key Differences Between Generations
In 2019, BMW introduced two generations of the 4 Series: the F32 and G22. The F32 is the previous generation, which has been in production since 2013, while the G22 is the redesigned model for 2019 and beyond. The key differences between the two generations lie in the exterior design, interior technology, and engine options. The G22 features a more aggressive and modern design, with updated LED headlights and a redesigned grille. Inside, the G22 boasts an upgraded infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. Additionally, the G22 offers a wider range of engine options, including the more powerful 440i model.
In conclusion, the BMW 4 Series 2019 is a testament to BMW's commitment to luxury, performance, and innovation. With its striking design, powerful engines, and refined handling, the 4 Series continues to captivate car enthusiasts worldwide. Whether you choose the Coupe, Gran Coupe, or Convertible, the 4 Series guarantees an exhilarating driving experience that is unrivaled in its class.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
