Munich. The latest generation of the BMW 3 Series Coupe and Convertible leads
the way worldwide in the premium mid-range coupe and convertible market. Indeed
few, if any, rivals have made such a defining impact on this segment in terms of
design, dynamics and efficiency.
Now, with the unveiling of the BMW
Concept 4 Series Coupe, BMW is looking ahead to the fourth generation of its
sporty mid-range coupe – and reasserting its global leadership credentials in
the process.
The “4” – a sign of greater exclusivity and
presence.
The BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe adds a new dimension to the
qualities of the BMW 3 Series Coupe in terms of aesthetics, dynamics and
elegance.
The “4” doesn’t just mark the start of a new cycle, it represents
the zenith of a development curve. BMW has given the new model its own
individual character and a standalone design – and, in so doing, has turned “4”
into segment shorthand for aesthetic and dynamic appeal. The latest addition to
a nomenclature that sees BMW building on the fine tradition of its large BMW 6
Series and BMW 8 Series Coupes, the “4” stands for greater sportiness, greater
exclusivity and even clearer differentiation from the BMW 3 Series
range.
The design: a development curve reaches its
zenith.
The BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe allows the driver to
experience the essence of this new, sporting and elegant generation of car in
the lap of contemporary luxury. An array of high-quality details provide an
exclusive showcase for the car’s perfectly balanced coupe proportions. Inside,
the expertise of BMW Individual, skilled handcraftsmanship and carefully
selected materials combine to create a supreme interior. The role of BMW
Individual in the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe’s development clearly underlines
the brand’s commitment to challenging itself constantly in pursuit of
perfection.
Lower and wider stance sharpens dynamics before a wheel is
turned.
The dimensions of the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe imbue the
car with a dynamic presence even when it is standing still. The wheelbase (2,810
mm) is 50 millimetres longer than that of the existing 3 Series Coupe, while 45
mm has been added to the front track (1,545 mm) and 80 mm to the rear track
(1,593 mm). At 1,826 mm wide, the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe is 44 mm broader
than its predecessor, its roof line is 16 mm lower (1,362 mm) and it is also
longer (4,641 mm) – all of which makes for exceptionally dynamic
proportions.
