5 BMW 4 SERIES COUPÉ
Sleek coupé is exciting to drive, indulgent to sit in and effortless on long journeys, but it doesn’t forget about practicality
STYLE OFTEN COMES at the expense of substance, and in the past, BMW coupés have simply been sleeker but less practical versions of their saloon counterparts. Since the BMW 4 Series took over from the 3 Series Coupé a few years ago to become a model line in its own right, however, it has continually shown that’s no longer the case.
