The BMW 4 Series range is complete in Australia.
First came the coupe, then came the fire-breathing M4. By the end of 2021 they’ll be joined by the Convertible and the Gran Coupe.
UPDATE, 22/08/2022 – BMW Australia has increased the before on-road asking price for the 4 Series Gran Coupe range by up to $3000, depending on the variant. Pricing now starts at $77,900 before on-roads for the 420i Gran Coupe.
“BMW constantly reviews its pricing structure throughout the year, taking into consideration a number of different factors,” said a BMW Australia spokesperson.
“However, we always aim to ensure our products remain appropriately positioned and represent a competitive pricing proposition in the market for our customers.”
