2024 BMW 4 Series M440i

The 2024 BMW 4 Series is a compact luxury coupe, convertible, and Gran Coupe that sits between the 3 Series sedan and the larger 5 Series. It competes with the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, offering a more driver-focused alternative to those rivals. The 4 Series delivers sharp steering and a balanced chassis, making it genuinely engaging on a twisty road. The ride is firm, especially with larger wheels, but that tautness is the price of its cornering composure. Inside, the cabin is well-built and driver-focused, with comfortable front seats and a clean, modern layout. The M440i is the one for buyers who want the 4 Series' character with real straight-line punch, while the 430i keeps things more relaxed and affordable. Its 3.0L I6 makes 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic to rear-wheel drive, and it returns 26 mpg combined. The convertible body style means you get open-air driving without giving up the M440i's punchy powertrain, though the trunk holds just 10.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
