Get ready for an exciting journey into the world of BMW's 4 Series! The future of this iconic car line is about to be revealed, and it's a game-changer.
BMW has some big plans for the 4 Series, and it's not just about keeping up with the competition. They're taking a bold step forward, offering a diverse range of options to cater to every type of driver. From traditional petrol engines to cutting-edge electric vehicles, and even a hot M4 performance model, the 4 Series is set to impress.
But here's where it gets controversial... BMW is suggesting that the 4 Series will follow a similar path to its sibling, adopting the Neue Klasse architecture. This means a whole new level of versatility, with a mix of pure-electric and combustion powertrains. Imagine a next-generation 'i4' paired with an upcoming i3, offering an incredible 500+ mile range on a single charge!
And this is the part most people miss... the return of the legendary M4. BMW's Post hints at a third installment of this performance coupé, with a choice of mega-powered EV or a classic petrol option. With advanced torque vectoring and an updated straight-six engine, the M4 is set to be a force to be reckoned with.
But why is this so significant? Well, BMW has engineered its next generation of ICE powertrains to meet upcoming European emissions rules, giving them a huge advantage over competitors. This means we could see the continuation of even the mighty 6.0-litre V12 used by Rolls-Royce!
