BMW 4-Series Coupe – Automobiles Review

BMW 4 Series Coupe by AC Schnitzer

BMW 4 Series Coupe by AC Schnitzer is equipped with tailor-made components that have maximum perfection. The new aerodynamic components from the tuners are precisely matched to each other and allow for complete conversion and optimization. The new 4 Series models can be enhanced not only with performance upgrades, wheel and tyre combinations, sports and racing suspension and accessories for the interior, but also with a complete range of aerodynamic body-styling elements.

The aerodynamic range offered for the tuning of this BMW coupe and cabrio model comprises of front spoiler for vehicles with M-Technik pack, chrome front grille, rear roof spoiler, rear diffuser as well as rear skirt protective film.

The principle which the brand follows is “form follows function” and it is visible through this conversion. As you can see, at the rear, the new diffuser draws the vehicle down to the asphalt, while the AC Schnitzer silencer in the latest Racing Evo tailpipe design is perfectly integrated into the rear end.

Additional downforce is provided due to the extra rear roof spoiler and front spoiler. In fact, all aerodynamic components lend new contours to the body of the car, but still emphasizing its stylish lines.

Furthermore, AC Schnitzer states that its aerodynamic components minimize drag thus enhancing the driving behavior. The components also deliver excellent durability and offer perceptible gain in sporting performance.

2014 BMW 4-Series Coupe – US Price $41,425

BMW has officially announced the all-new 2014 4-Series Coupe.

The “4” in its title headlines this new product line for the Coupe and emphasizes not only its stand-out design, but that any way you look at it, the new 4 Series Coupe represents something more than its BMW 3 Series cousins.

The 4-Series Coupe is visibly larger in width and wheelbase than the outgoing BMW 3-Series Coupe (E92), and its stretched silhouette sits considerably lower to the road. This, together with its BMW-typical short overhangs, long hood and set-back passenger compartment with flowing roofline, give the BMW 4 Series Coupe a visual balance. The car’s striking front end – with its characteristic BMW design features, such as the double- kidney grille, four round headlights and a large air intake in the front apron – is keen to display its family ties with the BMW 3 Series. New elements of the BMW 4 Series Coupe are the Air Breathers, which are positioned rearwards of the front wheel arches to reduce drag. The Coupe’s muscular wheel arches and wide track give an aggressive stance, with its prominent horizontal lines.

Overall, the 4-Series is 26mm longer, 43mm wider and 16 lower than the E92. The model also rides on a 50mm longer wheelbase and weighs 45 kg (99 lb) less.

The engine range includes a 428i – a 2.0 liter turbocharged petrol with 245HP (180 kW) and 350Nm (259 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). There is also a 435i – a 3.0 liter turbocharged petrol with 300HP (224 kW) and 406Nm (300 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 5.3 seocnds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

The styling packages include:

A Sport package with gloss black accents, a sport-tuned suspension and 18-inch twin-spoke alloy wheels
A Luxury package with chrome accents, leather seats and high-gloss wood trim
An M Sport package with an aerodynamic body kit, shadow line trim and 18-inch M-style wheels. There’s also a sports suspension, high-performance brakes and M-spec interior.

The 428i will be priced from $41,425, while the 435i will retail for $46,925.
