2017 BMW 4 Series – BMW of Elmhurst a BMW Dealer serving Chicago

If you want to throw your life into high gear, consider the 2017 BMW 4 Series coupe or convertible. Both offer performance and style in an upscale package that’s sure to impress from the moment you drive off the lot of the BMW dealer. Fast and fashionable, these sports cars turn heads.

BMW has upgraded the series, giving new names to its trim levels. More importantly, the engines are kicking out more power. Dash tech is better, too. The iDrive interface has been updated, and you can take advantage of a wireless charger, Apple CarPlay and a WiFi hotspot.

Shoppers will appreciate the power of a turbo four in the new 430i trim. Premium details range from the adaptive xenon headlights to the power-adjust bolstered sport seats. You control the climate with a dual-zone programmable thermostat. A 6.5-inch screen plays host to Bluetooth streaming audio choices and HD radio. The bigger system is an 8.8-inch display with a touchpad-enhanced controller. BMW Online is your source for entertainment, news and information apps. With this system, you also get the updated trip computer and special color head up display.

The convertible 430i adds a power-retractable hardtop. A wind blocker helps you stay comfortable. For cold days, an available system will warm your neck with targeted heat vents. To the surprise of many, it has the same folding rear seat as its coupe sibling. Most convertibles are denied this privilege.

The 400i lets you step up to a turbo six. Push button start feels right at home in this quick ride, and everything sounds better with the 16-speaker Harmon Kardon system. Satellite radio is also on board. Different leathers and trims are available to suit your fashion sense. For cold weather, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats are a good pair.

On all three editions, rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are standard. XDrive and a manual transmission are available as well. The turbo four cranks out 248 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. A big earner, it is rated at 34 mpg highway.* The other turbo is a three-liter inline six-cylinder unit. It kicks out 320 horsepower and 330 lb.-ft. of torque, boosting both numbers by 20 or more over the 2016 performance figures. If you love to drive, you may enjoy the M Sport variety with its sport-tuned suspension and aero body kit. You can take it even further with the Track Handling package. Adaptive sport-tuned suspension dampers and variable ratio steering increase precision while stronger brakes provide the stopping power this speedy car needs.

Important crash avoidance options are bundled into a convenient package. A forward collision warning system is strengthened by automatic braking. A lane departure warning and blind spot monitor may prevent dangerous side swipe situations. Parking is easier with the rear-, side-, and top-view camera system. You can also take advantage of adaptive cruise control and an automated parking system.

With three varieties tailored with the amenities you love, the 4 Series offers true curb appeal for the luxury shopper.
