Scoop: BMW's New 4-Series Hardtop Convertible Wearing Very Little Camo

This is the next model to join BMW's new 4-Series branded lineup after the release of the Coupe, the Convertible with a three-piece folding hardtop that is destined to enter production in November.

The pre-production prototype is almost undisguised, sans for some bits and pieces of BMW's black-and-white decals here and there, and they can't hide that this particular model features the optional M Sports package with a different front bumper, sculptured side skirts, a rear diffuser and bespoke alloys, along with a lower and tauter suspension.

BMW 4-Series Rendered As Four-Door Gran Coupe and As a Convertible

Despite the logic not being there for all people to understand when it comes to this matter - myself included, BMW is turning the 3-Series four-door sedan into the two-door 4-Series, and then turning it back into a four-door sedan, all while keeping the "4" designation but adding the "Gran Coupe" moniker after it.

This means that you will be able to buy the traditional Bavarian sedan in three distinct body styles: you have the regular 3-, the 4- Gran Coupe and the 3- GT (which quite a few readers thought was an uncool car), and that’s a lot of choice for BMW buyers… perhaps too much.

We Visually Compare the New BMW 4-Series with the Outgoing 3-Series Coupe

The production version of the BMW 4-Series Coupe may look toned down compared to the concept, but let's not forget that almost all studies lose some of their shine when translated into series production models.

While this is true, it doesn’t mean the production 4-Series is an ugly car. One can’t make such a statement before seeing it in real life. So, how does the 4-Series Coupe compare to its predecessor, the 3-Series Coupe? We listened to one of our reader’s request (nicknamed "anonymo") and we put both the two cars side by side in a virtual photo comparison to see which one looks better.

New BMW 4-Series Coupe Debuts on Video, Includes Driving Footage

BMW has accustomed us to having its designers and marketing people talk us through its new models, and the 4-Series Coupe is no exception. With the reveal of its new 3-Series-based coupe, the Bavarian carmaker also released a video in which BMW’s head of design Karim Habib describes the 4-Series Coupe’s styling highlights.

According to Habib, the new coupe adds more status and has more presence on the road than the outgoing 3-Series coupe. The Bavarian company's design boss says the most important thing about it are its proportions. At the front, the connection between the kidney grille and the headlights has been taken one-step further from the 3-Series, with the designer saying the element is wider and more elegant.

All-New 2014 BMW 4-Series Coupe, This Is It! [35 Photos]

There are times when one can't be sure whether photos of a new vehicle are real, but there's no questioning the authenticity of these pictures of the 2014 BMW 4-Series Coupe released by the German website Motor-Talk.

If you haven't heard about it before, the 4-Series is a new nameplate in BMW's range used on the replacements of the current 3-Series Coupe and Convertible models as well as the new Gran Coupe saloon.

These photos reveal the new 4-Series Coupe model, or the slightly toned down production version of the 4-Series Coupe study displayed at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year. The name may be different, but the two-door model continues to be based on and is influenced by the styling of the 3-Series sedan.

Aside from the two-seat layout at the back, the sleek looking Bavarian coupe shares its interior design with the more family-orientated 3-Series range.

We have yet to get our hands on the press release, but the report on the German website says that compared to its predecessor, the new 4-Coupe has grown 26mm in length to 4,640mm and 43mm in width to 1,830mm, while the roofline drops 16mm in height to 1,360mm. It rides on a 50mm longer wheelbase at 2,810mm.

Spied: BMW M235i and M435i Flex Their Turbocharged Straight-6s on the Nürburgring

Over the course of the next year, BMW will drop not one, but two mainstream coupe models (along with their soft-top convertible siblings), the 2-Series and 4-Series, which will replace the two door versions of the current 1-Series and 3-Series.

For the time being, only the 4-Series has been officially confirmed to be offered with an "M" variant, but both models will feature an M Performance version in the guise of the M235i and M435i, which build on the 235i and 435i iterations respectively, adding a slightly more powerful engine, a tweaked chassis and aerodynamic parts to the mix.

Spied: New BMW 435i Coupe Wears its M Sport Outfit

One of the most popular options for all-non "M" BMW models is the M Sport package, which, of course, will be offered on the upcoming 4-Series Coupe that will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

While shielded from prying eyes with camouflage wraps featuring twisty shapes, the new 435i M Sport Coupe that our scoop photographers nabbed on the Nürburgring outlines some of the goods that enthusiasts can expect when it goes on sale late this year or in the first half of 2014, depending on where you live.

Best Spy Shots Yet of New BMW 4-Series Convertible

Even though it isn't customary for automakers to offer both a coupe and a hardtop convertible version of the same model, BMW will continue to use this formula on the successor of the current open-top 3-Series that we will come to know as the 4-Series Convertible and which was spied in its most revealing form yet.

Scoop: New BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe Promises to be a Prettier Take on the 3-Series Sedan

Not content with covering all the mainstream and even niche ends of the compact executive segment with the new 3-Series Sedan, Touring and Gran Turismo, and in the coming months, the 4-Series Coupe and Convertible models as well, BMW is now carving a…niche within a niche, with a sixth body style, the 4-Series Gran Coupe.

Whereas the 3-Series Gran Turismo is designed as an alternative to the 3-Series Sedan and Touring models, the new 4-Series Gran Coupe promises to combine the practicality of the 3-Series Sedan's four doors with the longer wheelbase of the 3-Series Gran Turismo and the looks of the 4-Series Coupe.

Scoop: BMW Testers Feel the Cold in New 4-Series Convertible

The last thing you want to do on a cold day is to drive around in a convertible model with its top down, but if you're an automotive tester, practicing things that most regular drivers will never do, is part of the job.

Enter the workday of BMW's engineers, who were photographed by our spies running around in a 4-Series Cabriolet prototype with its metallic roof in the wrong position for this time of year in Northern Europe.

Spy Shots: BMW Says Bye, Bye M3 Coupe, Hello New M4 and Straight-Six Turbo

The regular versions of BMW's 3-Series are fine and dandy and will get the job done for most people, but ever since the Bavarian carmaker plastered the M logo on the E30 back in the mid-1980s, if you really wanted to experience the best that BMW has to offer in this segment, the M3 was the way to go.

With the new F30 3-Series, though, there's been a change of plans as BMW split the range in two, naming the sportier bodied models (Coupe, Convertible and the upcoming Gran Coupe), 4-Series.

Spy Shots: Take a Sneak Peek Inside the New BMW 4-Series Coupe

Over the past few months, we've had plenty of opportunities to see the new BMW 4-Series Coupe from the outside, but never on the inside, until now, that is, as our automotive 007s were able to sneak up and capture a few shots of a prototype's cabin.

If you were expecting something different from the F30 3-Series sedan, then you will be disappointed, but to be fair, BMW did warn us about the similarities between the two models with the 4-Series Coupe Concept displayed at the Detroit motor show in January.

New BMW 4-Series Coupe Spied Parked Right Next to Audi A5 Coupe

We can't say with certainty if BMW engineers went out for lunch with their Audi counterparts, if they were the ones driving the A5 Coupe or if the Ingolstadt's model just happened to be in this parking lot, but it sure makes for an interesting matchup seeing it standing right next to the new 4-Series Coupe in these fresh spy shots. 

This is the first time that we have captured a prototype of the E92 3-Series Coupe's successor after BMW premiered the 4-Series Concept in Detroit last month.
