2023 BMW 4-Series which takes a grand leap forward from the standard BMW design language like the 3 Series or the 5 Series cars. It shares the chassis and the interior from the 3 Series but has new front and rear end looks. And yes while we’re talking about the looks, let’s address the elephant in the room first, the new grille which has created a whole lot of controversy since the images went public. We think it’s just absolutely great, of course, it’s way bigger than the traditional BMW kidney grille but it’s good and blends in with the cutting-edge looks of the 4 Series and its beautiful roof line. Practicality takes a back seat here, literally, as the 4-series’ rear seat is snug. The 4-series Gran Coupe exists for buyers who want both swoopy styling and four doors.
