What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the 4 Series Gran Coupé is engaging to drive yet comfortable and refined, with a classy cabin and a practical hatchback boot. The common criticisms are the divisive grille, limited rear headroom, a slimmed-down engine range and high prices once options are added; What Car? also noted some wind and tyre noise.
