Overview

The BMW 4 Series is a range of compact executive cars manufactured by BMW since 2013. The first generation (F32/F33/F36) was produced from 2014 to 2020, featuring coupé, convertible, and Gran Coupé body styles. It succeeded the E92/E93 models of the fifth-generation BMW 3 Series range and shares many features with the F30 3 Series. The engines available include turbocharged inline-3, inline-4, and inline-6 petrol or diesel options.

History & notable variants

The first generation was introduced in January 2013 as a concept car at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It was produced alongside the F30 3 Series until 2020. The high-performance variant, BMW M4 (F82/F83), was launched in early 2014 and uses the same turbocharged inline-six petrol engine as the F80 M3.

As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
