Unveiled in 2013 to succeed the celebrated 3 Series Coupé, the BMW 4 Series Coupé F32 distinguished itself with a lower roofline, wider track and the lowest centre of gravity in the contemporary BMW range. Delivering sharp road manners and grand touring elegance, its mechanical longevity relies on methodical BMW 4 Series maintenance, particularly regarding engine timing components and cooling hardware.
Early four-cylinder petrol models (420i, 428i) feature the N20 unit, which requires acoustic vigilance for timing chain and oil pump drive guide whining. In contrast, the six-cylinder N55 petrol (435i) and N57 diesel (430d, 435d) offer tremendous stamina when oil changes are respected. The eight-speed ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox provides seamless, instantaneous shifts but demands scheduled fluid maintenance.
On frameless doors, inspect window regulator cables and weatherstrip seals for wind whistle at motorway speeds. Checking front control arm hydro-bushes and ensuring the electric water pump operates quietly will preserve this handsome coupe's dynamic sharpness.
