As standard, all models ship with a two-year/unlimited km warranty and a five-year/100 000 km maintenance plan.

4 Series coupé

The 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine employed by the 420d derivatives churn out 140 kW and 400 N.m, which, like the 420i models are sent to the rear axle via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The M Performance, M440i xDrive, model is equipped with BMW’s familiar 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged petrol unit, which is good for 285 kW and 500 N.m, sent to all four corners via an eight-speed self-shifter.

Updated BMW i4 Gran Coupé Price in SA

Priced from R1 346 500 for the eDrive35 M Sport derivative, the refreshed version of the opening gambit to the local i4 Gran Coupé line-up will set you back R53 200 more than the outgoing, pre-facelifted model’s, while the M50 xDrive’s sticker price has increased by R7 100. As standard, both models ship with a two-year/unlimited km vehicle and eight-year/100 000 km battery warranty, and a maintenance plan spanning five years or 100 000 km.

  • i4 Gran Coupé eDrive35 M Sport — R1 346 500
  • i4 Gran Coupé M50 xDrive — R1 695 000

The eDrive35 M Sport variant rear-mounted single-electric motor setup produces 210 kW and 400 N.m of torque. According to BMW, the rear-wheel-drive i4 Gran Coupé dispatches the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.0 seconds, before topping out at 190 km/h. The company claims this derivative can travel up to 483 km when its 67.1 kWh battery pack is fully charged.

Coupled with a 81.1 kWh battery pack, the M50 xDrive’s twin-electric motor arrangement produces peak power and torque outputs of 400 kW and 795 N.m, allowing the M Performance model to sprint to the three-figure marker from a standstill in a claimed 3.9 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 225 km/h. BMW says this all-paw derivative, with its larger-capacity battery pack, can travel up to 510 km on a single full charge.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
