More importantly, the German luxury automaker has also announced official pricing details for the U.S. market. The all-new 4-Series Coupe will go on sale in U.S. dealerships with a starting price of $41,425 for the 428i variants, followed by the 435i variant that starts at $46,925.
Meanwhile, the 2014 BMW 4-Series 428i xDrive Coupe has an MSRP of $43,425 but the 435i xDrive variant is more expensive, starting at $48,925. All prices are already include destination and handling charges, according to a BMW official press release.
Under its hood, BMW offers two different engine options for the U.S. market. The first option is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that will be available for the 428i variants. Peak power output is rated at 240 horsepower at 5,000 to 6,500 rpm with maximum torque reaches up to 255 lb-ft at 1,250 to 4,800 rpm. It’s good enough to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds before reaching its top speed at 155 mph or 250 km/h (electronically limited).
The next option, the 2014 4-Series 435i Coupe will be powered by a high-revving 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine capable of delivering up to 300 horsepower at 5,800 to 6,000 rpm and 300 lb-ft of torque at 1,200 to 5,000 rpm. BMW says the six-cylinder engine is equipped with valvetronic fully variable valve control and high-precision direct-injection.
As a result, the 435i variant with a six-speed manual gearbox is able to sprint from 0-60 mph in just 5.3 seconds or 0.4 seconds faster than the 428i variants, which is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. However, when the 3.0L six-cylinder engine connected to an eight-speed Sport automatic gearbox, the 428i coupe will sprint from 0-60 mph in just 5.0 seconds and of course 0.7 seconds faster compared to the base model. That’s pretty impressive, while the top speed will be limited to 155 mph or 250 km/h (electronically limited).
BMW offers two transmission options for both engines, including high-performance eight-speed automatic and optional six-speed manual transmission. In addition to rear-wheel drive, BMW also offers the xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system as optional for both variants – 428i and 435i.
There are three optional packages that can be ordered by each buyer, including Sport, Luxury and M Sport.
Sport package will add some new equipment to the car such as sport suspension, gloss black accents and 18-inch light-alloy wheels with twin-spoke design (there’s also an optional 19-inch). Furthermore, Luxury package will add a high-gloss chrome touches, leather seats with stitching, high-gloss wood strips, 18-inch twin-spoke light-alloy wheels and much more.
Meanwhile, the M Sport package will bring some exclusive features such as M aerodynamic package, 18-inch alloy wheels with M design, M leather steering wheel, M Sport suspension (for RWD only) and M Sport Brakes with blue calipers. Speaking about its release date, the 2014 BMW 4-Series Coupe will hit U.S. dealerships late this summer, according to the German automaker.
