2023 BMW 4-Series

The 2023 BMW 4-Series adds a new high-performance trim, the M4 CSL, that is limited in production to 1,000 units. Otherwise, the 4-Series carries into the new year mostly unchanged albeit with some restrictions on available packages due to parts shortages.

The 2023 BMW 4-Series is available in four trims: 430, M440, M4, and M4 CSL. Base prices for the coupe range from $48,395 to $140,895. The Convertible ranges from $56,495 to $90,695 and the Gran Coupe (not available as an M4) ranges from $46,895 to $58,445.

The 4-Series is available with several powertrains most of which are a carryover from last year with the exception of the M4 CSL which utilizes the same engine but increases turbo boost, cooling performance, and updated software.

Of note, the M4 features a six-speed manual transmission. All trims send power to the rear wheels while all-wheel drive is offered on the 430i and M440i for $2,000 and the M4 for $4,100 which includes additional settings, including a rear-wheel-drive mode.

The 2023 BMW 4-Series coupe and convertible can fit four passengers and the five-door

Gran Coupe offers room for five passengers. All models are about 188 inches long. The coupe can fit 12 cubic feet worth of stuff in the truck which either shrinks in the convertible to make room for the folding soft top (nine cubic feet) or grows to 16.6 cubic feet with the hatchback, or even 45.6 cubic feet with the seats folded.

The 4-Series is equipped with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot detection, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and front and rear parking sensors.

The M440i offers the Driving Assistance Professional Package for $1,700 that adds adaptive cruise control with lane centering and lane change assist, and cross-traffic automatic braking. The Parking Assistance Package adds a surround-view camera with 3D viewing and allows for active parking for $700. The 4-Series has not been tested by NHTSA or IIHS.

The 2023 BMW 4-Series is one of the few refreshed BMWs to not receive the updated infotainment system and large curved screen as it retains an 8.8-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM are standard while the Premium Package adds a 10.25-inch screen.
