The LED headlights have also been updated to provide better visibility and a unique lighting signature.
Engine Versions
The 2020 BMW 4 Series offers a range of powerful engine options to suit different driving preferences. The lineup includes a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine producing 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking even more power, there is a 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder engine available, delivering an impressive 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and precise shifts.

The BMW 4 Series 2020 is available in three trim levels: Sport Line, Luxury Line, and M Sport. The Sport Line offers a sporty and dynamic appearance, with features such as black high-gloss exterior details, sport seats, and a sport leather steering wheel.

Key Differences Between Generations
In 2020, BMW introduced two generations of the 4 Series: the F32 generation and the G22 generation, also known as the Concept 4. The F32 generation is from the previous model year and features a more traditional design language, with a conventional grille and styling cues similar to the BMW 3 Series. On the other hand, the G22 generation, or Concept 4, showcases a bolder and more controversial design, with an enlarged kidney grille that has received mixed reactions from enthusiasts and critics alike.
Overall, the BMW 4 Series 2020 combines exhilarating performance, luxurious comfort, and cutting-edge technology to offer an unforgettable driving experience. Whether cruising along the open road or tackling tight corners, this sports car is sure to leave a lasting impression.

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.
