Used 2018 BMW 4 Series Convertible Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2018 BMW 4 Series is available in three body styles: a coupe, convertible and four-door Gran Coupe. Within these models, you can choose between the 430i or 440i trims that differ mostly by engine type. The 430i is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque), and the 440i receives a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (322 hp and 332 lb-ft). All of these 4 Series models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels, though you can get a six-speed manual on the coupe as an option. BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system is also offered as an option.
Which 4 Series trim does Edmunds recommend?
While the 440i's power is intoxicating, we recommend the 430i for the majority of 4 Series shoppers. It is a strong performer in its own right and its lower price could free up more space in your budget for some desirable options such as the Premium package that adds heated seats, navigation, a virtual instrument panel and emergency telematics.
