2020 BMW 4-Series (2nd Generation)

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (2021) Price Announced

Pricing for the all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe has been loaded onto BMW South Africa’s website, suggesting a local debut is imminent. Here is the pricing for the Bavarian 4-door Gran Coupe.

The 4 Series Gran Coupe is essentially a sportier-looking 3 Series with a liftback tailgate, or you could look at it as a 4-door coupe. There’s no direct rival from Mercedes-Benz, but the Audi A5 Sportback offers similar packaging. Compared to the outgoing model, the new 4 Series Gran Coupe is 143 mm longer, 27 mm wider, 53 mm taller and has a wheelbase that’s 46 mm longer. The wheelbase is actually 5 mm longer than the 3 Series as well. The expanded dimensions have resulted in a 470-litre boot, which is 39 litres bigger than before and an overall luggage space of 1 290 litres with the rear seats folded down.

How much does the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe cost in South Africa?

The below prices include CO2 tax.

BMW 420i Gran Coupe R937 452
BMW 420d Gran Coupe R984 830
BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupe R1 312 696

SA PRICING: BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé here soon

Just months after it was revealed abroad, South African pricing for the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé has been released. The new five-door “coupé” is expected to hit local showrooms before the end of 2022.

Three variants will be offered at launch, with the base 320i priced at R937 452, the 420d costing R984 830 and the M440i xDrive listed at R1 312 696, according to Duoporta. Unlike the 4 Series two-door Coupe, the Gran Coupé will not be offered in “base” specification, with the M Sport spec grade being standard on the 420i and 420d models. For the record, the Gran Coupé models command a hefty price premium of R86 000 over the equivalent two-door M Sport variants.

Although you might be tempted to think of it as a sleeker 3 Series, the 4 Series is actually a bit bigger than BMW’s mainstream sedan, gaining 74mm in length and 25mm in width, while the height remains identical.

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is sold with a five-year/100 000km maintenance plan.

Prices:

BMW 420i Gran Coupé M Sport – R937 452
BMW 420d Gran Coupé M Sport – R984 830
BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé – R1 312 696

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe pricing and optional extras detailed for SA

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe has landed in South Africa as a more practical alternative to the current two-door offering. The new model is available with three different engine options and a vast catalogue of optional extras.

Kicking off the range of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is the turbopetrol 2,0-litre four-cylinder 420i at a price of R903 852. This delivers 135 kW to the rear wheels via an eight-speed torque converter which gives it a 0-100 km/h time of 7,9 seconds and a claimed fuel consumption of 6,5 L/100 km.

Next in the range is the 420d which sports the brand’s turbodiesel 2,0-litre four-cylinder mill with a price-tag of R944 830. This delivers 140 kW to the rears with a claimed acceleration time of 7,5 seconds. Fuel consumption for this model has not been declared by the brand.

At the top of the range with an asking price of R1 312 696 sits the M440i xDrive. This employs the B58 twin-scroll turbocharged 3,0-litre straight-six unit delivering 285 kW which results in a 0-100 km/h time of 4,7 seconds. As per the brand’s claims, it will consume 8,2 L/100 km of fuel.

Three model lines are available for the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe. The fittingly named standard model is the standard offering for the package. At an additional R40 000 you can spec the M Sport package which adds parking assist, seat width and lumbar support adjustment with memory functions and a glass sunroof along with select styling enhancements including a set of 18-inch alloy wheels.

REVIEW | Is the 2021 BMW 420i M-Sport convertible really worth a million bucks?
  • BMW 420i comes in just under R1 million before options.
  • Folding fabric roof reduces weight for improved dynamics.
  • Light on fuel with a delightful turbo engine that loves to rev.
Overall summary

At R1 million for a standard model, the BMW 420i M Sport remains a dream car for many of us. It's nice, however, to know that it drives like a dream car too. There's a relaxed nature to the vehicle, where you don't want to go fast all the time. Most of the time, the test car stayed in Comfort mode, and I tried Eco Pro to see how much that helped. The fuel-saving mode certainly works, and it's great to have if you plan on hitting the long road often.

If you're looking for an eye-catcher, something that's swift yet frugal (we managed 9.5 litres per 100km in our testing), and something that will instantly lift your mood every time you jump into it, you won't go wrong with a 2021 420i M Sport in your life. If you can afford the pleasure of owning at least one cool convertible in your life and you don't want it to shatter your eardrums or kidneys, then this car is a must. It comes with a five-year or 100 000km Maintenance Plan.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stint with the BMW 420i M Sport, and while it wasn't the pink BMW Barbie car we might have made ourselves when we were kids, it brought back some good memories. A million bucks is a lot to pay for a car, any car, but if you can afford it, this 420i is worth its asking price.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

“Nothing in the BMW range - nor any rival factory - stretches a band across the three legs of drivability, style and practicality like the 4 Series Gran Coupe”

BMW isn't as consistent as it was. Too many BMWs these days are intrinsically ugly and ill-conceived.

This stands in marked contrast to those pratfalls. It's a car that manages to do pretty well everything right. The concept is good: an elegant but useful sporty car. The execution is better than good: superb powertrains, enjoyable but relatively civilised chassis, well-made and useable cabin.

Get the right paint colour and it's even easy to ignore those much-loathed nostrils.

Nothing in the BMW range stretches a band across the three legs of drivability, style and practicality like the 4 Series Gran Coupe. And that means pretty well nothing from any other factory either.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 420d 2021 UK review

Should I buy one?

A 4 Series Gran Coupé is about £1000 more expensive than a two-door coupé, which itself is more expensive than both the 3 Series Saloon and Touring. On list price, then, it’s hard to make a rational case for the Gran Coupé.

But that was also the case with the previous generation, and it didn’t stop it from outselling the two-door. It’s a similar story with the Audi A5 Coupé and Sportback. Clearly, the Germans have found a way to make the humble five-door hatchback sexy, the attraction of swoopy styling with some added practicality proving hard to resist.

It certainly helps that the rest of the car is the same impressive package we know and love from the 3 Series.

• The all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is now available in South Africa.

• The line-up comprises three models, powered by two petrol and one diesel engine.

• The 4 Series Gran Coupé is priced from R930 000.

The second-generation BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé has been launched in South Africa, building on the success of the previous model. According to BMW, the new car offers enhanced driving dynamics while still retaining the striking design ethos the car has become known for.

The new 4 Series Gran Coupé is bigger than the outgoing model, boasting 4 783mm (+143mm) of length, 1 852mm (+25mm) width, and 1 442mm (+53mm) of height. The car's track has also increased at the front and rear, now reading as 1 595mm (+50mm) and 1 5623mm (+29mm), respectively. The increased size also means that boot space increased by 39 litres to now come in at 470L. And with the rear seats folded flat, loading space increases to a massive 1 290L.

In terms of the interior, BMW says that the 4 Series Gran Coupé comes standard with sport seats and a sport leather steering wheel.

DRIVEN: BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is roomy, stylish, and ushers in a new spec approach

It does turn heads and probably fully deserves the ‘Gran’ in its title but, the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé shifts a position in BMW that will also be appreciated by car buyers.

For this generation the company has stepped away from the myriad – and sometimes confusing – array of options and moved closer to a what-you-see-is-what-you-get specification approach across the launch range of three derivatives, the 420i, 420d and 440i xDrive.

Although it is closely linked in family terms to the 3 Series, the Gran Coupé is very much its own car and is bigger than the sedans, measuring 4 783mm in exterior length, 1 852mm in width and 1 442mm in height, it has distinctive proportions combined with stretched coupé lines.

It is 143mm longer, 27mm wider and 53mm taller than its predecessor, while the track widths have also grown – to 1 595mm at the front (+50mm) and 1 623mm at the rear (+29mm). The wheelbase of 2 856mm is 46mm longer than the predecessor’s and 5mm more than the 3 Series sedan.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (2021) Launch Review

Summary

You already know how this works, buy the 420i if you’re just after the model’s aesthetics. Buy the 420d for the same reasons, but if you want to visit the fuel station forecourts less often (that extra whack of torque is welcome too). Spice either up with the M-Sport kit if you favour show over go but, the chasm of performance between these and the M440i xDrive is enough to park an M3 or M4 in. Sideways.

There’s such an exhilarating drive to be had here, and better still, you can approach the 4 Series Gran Coupe flagship’s limits without fear of exceeding your own. No really, that’s how most of us feel when at the wheel of an M car. They goad you into making mad decisions, drain your bank account of your disposable income (first to buy it/pay it off, insure it and then to keep it properly tyred and fed with fuel) and then there’s living with a car that terrifies you. Who wouldn’t seriously consider having 80% of the performance at 60% of the price? And in this shape, you even have a massive hatchback to, um, boot.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe Pricing:

BMW 420iR930 000
BMW 420dR980 000

All prices include a 5-year/100 000 km maintenance plan from BMW SA (Motorplan).

DRIVEN: BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé M440i xDrive

The 4 Series Gran Coupé is priced at R930 00 for the 420i, R980 000 for the 420d and R1 312 696 for the 440i. The people who opt for the GC over the coupé do so for the amount of usable interior space. The back seats have sufficient headroom for adults, and it’s easier getting in and out, while the hatchback-style boot is capacious with a wide-opening aperture. It’s a very different person who chooses the two-door coupé or the convertible, and the great thing is that each 4 Series has its unique character and there are very few compromises to be made.

Fast facts:

Price: R1 312 696
Engine: 3,0-litre turbopetrol
Transmission: 8-speed automatic
Power: 285 kW @ 5 800 r/min
Torque: 500 N.m 1 900-5 000 r/min
0-100 km/h: 4,7 seconds
Fuel consumption: 8,20 L/100 km
Top speed: 250 km/h
CO2: 187 g/km
Rivals: Audi S5 TFSI Sportback, Mercedes-AMG C43 coupé

DRIVEN: BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé M440i xDrive

I’m not sure why car manufacturers insist on dropping letters from words in naming cars, but it has become something of a trend… one that doesn’t always make sense. Take the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. For some reason, they’ve slipped the abbreviation of “grandmother” in there…
