What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the 4 Series Coupé is engaging to drive yet comfortable and refined, with a smart interior and more usable rear seats than expected. The common criticisms are the polarising grille, pricey options and some wind and tyre noise; Autocar found cheaper versions need the optional adaptive suspension to ride really comfortably.
