BMW 320i Sedan vs 420i Gran Coupe

[stepper]

Can someone tell me the difference between these cars except price and the boot? Anything special that distinguish the one from the other?

I have never owned/driven a BMW and am looking at getting one of these (with M Sport Pkg) but bit confused.

 

[Rickster]

Which 320i? The E90/91/92 or the F30?

 

[stepper]

The F30

Nicer looks at a premium. If budget is not an issue, 4-series... Otherwise, why pay extra?

Why would anyone compare an old 3-series, to a brand new 4-series?

The roofline is different on the 4 series Gran Coupe, compared to the 3 series. The Gran Coupe is subjectively prettier than the 3 series. Cons would be rear headroom...

I asked just to be sure.


I see the 420i has a turbo while the F30 variant doesnt.

No. I don't think there are any naturally aspirated 3-series variants... Same engines.

Im sure thats what I implied.

No Rickster, it is not... You said one has a turbo and the other one does not. I told you they have the same turbo engine.

3 series...everyone has one. Nothing special.

4 series, much more scarce, better looking.

I stand corrected

 

[Nangi]

Get a 328i for the price of the 420i....

 

[superskully]

They are both the same cars, same engine, interior.
The 4 series is just a coupe version and is just beautiful.

+1; the better option.

i sat in a 420d grand coupe

for the price you dont even get handle bars, no electric seats and just didnt do it for me

the roof is too low for a tall 1.8m+ guy
