The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé has arrived on South African shores, with the local arm of the German automaker revealing pricing for the four-door 4. See pricing below…
The opening gambit to the current three-strong local line-up, the 420i Gran Coupé is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which sends 135 kW and 300 N.m of torque to the rear axle via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Bookended by the latter model and (current) flagship derivative, the M440i xDrive Gran Coupé, the 420d Gran Coupé’s is endowed with a 2.0-litre turbodiesel motor. The four-cylinder oil-burner churns out 140 kW and 400 N.m, the latter available form a 1 750 r/min.
Sited at the top of the local 4 Series Gran Coupé offering is the M440i xDrive Gran Coupé (seen here in optional Aventurine Red III Metallic body hue). The M440i xDrive Gran Coupé’s 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine directs 285 kW and 500 N.m to all four corners via BMW’s eight-speed Sport Steptronic transmission for a claimed zero to 100 km/h acceleration time of 4.7 seconds (two-tenths of a second slower than its two-door stablemate). Top speed is rated at 250 km/h.
All models are sold with BMW’s five-year/100 000 km maintenance plan. A two-year/unlimited km warranty is included in the asking price.
