2021 BMW 4 Series Release date
2021 BMW 4 Series is set to launch an all-new 4-Series two-door sometime in 2019 or 2020, and while the G23 coupe version will not feature any dramatic changes over the current model, the G22 droptop will. Spy shots indicate that for the first time in two generations (E93 and F33), BMW is giving up on the folding hardtop design in favor of the more traditional soft top option which it last used on the E46 model discontinued in 2006.
Heavy camouflage covers the prototype spotted, but this important change is quite evident as the canvas top is left completely bare (quite obviously on purpose). It might be an illusion caused by the camo, but it also appears this new 4-Series has a longer hood and rear decklid compared to its predecessor.
Exterior
Aside from making the soft top intentionally visible, the prototype spotted hides all details very well. It may have slightly different proportions compared to the current model, but it’s too early to tell.
Once we see the sedan and wagon model, we’ll be able to make more educated guesses as to what the coupe and cabriolet may look like.
One way they could go to differentiate four- and two-door models is to take inspiration from the flagship 8-Series in order to make the latter stand out. BMW is discontinuing the 6-Series nameplate altogether, so it may want the two models to seem more closely related from a visual standpoint (a strategy it could also extend to the next 2-Series).
Interior
We can’t specifically say what that entails yet, as all prototypes spotted have had their interiors curtained off.
But realistically, we can expect something very similar to what the automaker already offers in its new X3 and X4 models. The center console buttons and controls, the dials, the infotainment, and the steering wheel will probably be carried over to the 3- and 4-Series.
Engine
Expect the next 4-Series convertible (as well as the coupe and four-door) to offer both gasoline and diesel engines, as well as electrified powertrains - all of which will be shared with the 3-Series with which it shares the CLAR architecture.
The 4-Series will most likely skip the very bottom of the engine range and be offered mostly with 2.0-liter four-cylinder as well as 3.0-liter six-cylinder mills with turbocharging. Be that as it may, a 1.5-liter three-pot cannot be excluded at this point, as anything is possible.
One of the aforementioned engines is apparently the most powerful four-pot ever fitted to a series BMW (over 260 horsepower), and it could be badged as a 330i M Sport, although M330i has a nicer ring to it.
Hopefully, it will be offered with a manual gearbox option too.
Prices
2021 BMW 4 Series usually announces pricing for its models in the time frame between their official debut and them reaching showrooms. The current 4-Series starts from just under $53,000 in the U.S., and for that, you get a 430i with rear-wheel drive only.
