Road TestCar reviews - BMW - 4 Series - 420dBMW modelsOverviewBMW's beautiful 420d coupe reminds us what the Bavarian brand does best14 Mar 2014 BMW’S signature mid-sized coupe version of its 3 Series sedan may sport new nomenclature, but as a driving experience it is business as usual. That is to say, the 4 Series drives beautifully, with razor-sharp handling, steering that is full of feel-and-feedback and refinement at any speed legal on our roads. Here we drive the 420d, the sole diesel option in a range that also comprises a trio of petrols (the brutal M4 is also imminent), developed primarily for Europe where its fuel-sipping ways yield lower road taxes. It is as frugal and punchy as most modern Germanic oil-burners, but perhaps for Australia one might be even better served with the cheaper and more responsive 420i petrol. Either way, this first-generation 4 Series offers plenty of style and even more substance. Click here for the full review...
