While once controversial, the system has become much better with time, and this latest is set to add a new generation of displays, connectivity, and controls.

Adds new graphics, new experiences, new controllerīMW has just announced one of the largest changes to iDrive since the introduction of the dial and display system 20 years ago.

Latest iDrive sets out to learn everything about you.

So you’ll have to remember BMW’s new rule for these cars’ second numeral: three means two (liters of displacement), and four equals three. Unlike in Europe, BMW doesn’t offer Americans a badge-delete option, which would put a definitive end to displacement guessing games. All-wheel drive adds $2000 to any 430i or 440i model. The M4 coupe and convertible each cost $500 more than before, at $67,195 and $75,695. At the lowest end, a 2017 430i coupe starts at $42,845, while the 440i xDrive convertible is $59,995. Pricing stays basically steady with few exceptions, such as the $50 bump in the 440i’s base price over the 2016 435i. M4 models get the Adaptive M suspension, formerly a $1000 stand-alone option, as standard equipment along with the above changes. Special-order paint, trim, and leather from the BMW Individual catalog can no longer be ordered on four-cylinder examples. On 440i models, a nappa-leather-wrapped steering wheel now is standard.

Wireless-device charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot now are included with the Enhanced USB and Bluetooth package. This brings a new tiled home screen, hardware upgrades, and various tweaks to the menu interfaces.

The latest iDrive 5.0 infotainment system that debuted in the 7-series last year is now available on 4-series models with navigation, but without the 7’s gimmicky Gesture Control function. Instead of fitting new aesthetic bits, BMW fiddled with the extensive options list. These BMWs remain handsome enough to face the newer entries in the segment. That’s no problem to our eyes, even with the recent introductions of the Lexus RC and the Mercedes-Benz C-class coupe and the imminent arrival of a new Audi A5. Bimmer engine-code nerds will want to note that the new four is the B46 and the six is the B58, and they replace the N26 and N55.ĭon’t bother looking for cosmetic changes to the 4-series as part of this freshening, as there haven’t been any since the coupe and convertible arrived for 2014 and the four-door Gran Coupe arrived for 2015. Fuel-economy estimates are currently unavailable. What was the 435i last year is now the 440i, and its new 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six spins up 320 horsepower and 330 lb-ft, up 20 and 30 over last year’s 3.0-liter six.īoth engines are based on the modular family of three-, four-, and six-cylinder designs developed to reduce manufacturing and development costs across BMW’s lineup. The 430i is the new 428i (which never displaced 2.8 liters), and it packs a reworked 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque (increases of eight and three).

There are real numerical gains under the hood for the 4-series, however, as the model follows BMW’s 2-series and 3-series Gran Turismo cars in bringing all-new engines with more power and torque for 2017. (You may have also wondered what the heck a “430i” and “440i” are.) But BMW nomenclature now has no correlation to hardware, being driven only by the dark art of marketing. Ten years ago, if we said the 2017 BMW 430i had a 3.0-liter six-cylinder and the 440i had a 4.0-liter V-8, you’d have had no reason to believe otherwise.
