“You’ll either love or loathe those looks, but there’s no arguing with what a brilliant all-rounder the latest BMW 4 Series proves to be. The criticisms we have of this entry-level 420i are so minor that they’re easy to forgive.”

Score: 9 / 10
“The BMW M440i xDrive is a consummate all-rounder, combining impressive refinement, strong performance and the luxurious trimmings you’d expect. It’s a performance coupe that also retains a real degree of civility, while four-wheel drive makes it a more versatile, but still entertaining car to drive.”

“The enormous grille on the new BMW 4 Series has been the cause of some controversy, but the car behind it is very much in keeping with brand traditions. This is BMW in its comfort zone, the 4 Series turning its 3 Series foundations into something much sportier.”

Model reviewed: 2.0-litre petrol automatic 420i M Sport Coupé
Score: 8 / 10
“For the slick, engaging manner in which it drives, you should consider the 420i. It makes for a comfortable grand tourer of sorts that can entertain on a good road when you want it to. It gets simple things like driving position, interior design and ergonomics right, and is relaxing to casually tool about in.”

“The BMW 420d is the sort of car that would cruise at high speed, at better than 50mpg, for hours on end. It would feel like your own magnificent, extra-exclusive bubble of technological power, effortless poise and laser-guided calm all along.”

“The M440i sets a high standard of performance, although ultimately it will be the milder versions on which the BMW 4 Series’ sales success will hinge. It’s not the prettiest car BMW has ever produced, but it is one whose clear purpose and heightened dynamic abilities make it a very convincing and entertaining contender.”

“With engaging performance and dynamics, exceptional refinement and cabin quality, regardless of what detractors may make of the styling, it seems the BMW 4 Series is destined for stellar positioning in the compact executive coupé class.”

“Ignore the front end (like we clearly can’t) and you’ve got a hugely involving old-school drivers’ car in the M440i, and a dramatic-looking poser-mobile in less-powerful specifications.”

“BMW is on to yet another winner with the 4 Series. That styling is sure not going to appease everyone, but if you can see past that, or in fact don’t mind the way it looks, this is a brilliant sporty coupe.”

“The BMW 4 Series is a sleek premium coupe with great tech and strong engines. It feels firm at low speeds, though, and not everybody will be convinced by those front-end looks.”

“The BMW 4 Series Coupe is a car that makes a statement. It’s more than just a 3 Series with a rakish roofline and two fewer doors; it’s a stylish coupe that could almost be considered alongside a Porsche Cayman (albeit with an extra dose of practicality).”

“Not everyone will like how the BMW 4 Series Coupe looks but, if you can see past that enormous grille, it’s a brilliant alternative to an Audi A5 or Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe. While it’s not a practical choice, the interior is superb and it’s better to drive than any of its peers. It feels a lot more special than a BMW 3 Series, too.”

“Derivative in parts, this restyle is nevertheless pretty handsome and the way the BMW 4 Series drives and feels is top of the form. Ultra keen drivers might want to consider a bigger engine (or even the 420d turbodiesel), but you won’t want for much with this 2.0-litre petrol.”

“The BMW 4 Series Coupe is great to drive, smart inside and roomier than you might imagine. With its powerful engine the M440i is great fun, but the 420i strikes the best balance between performance and running costs while still impressing on a twisty road.”

“The latest BMW 4 Series is certainly striking to look at, but it’s equally striking to drive. Innate chassis balance combines with sharp steering and excellent grip to deliver a fun, focused driving experience. The cabin is great, too, except for its tight rear headroom. Add in generous equipment and a great feeling of quality, and the 4 Series feels a compelling coupé choice.”
