New BMW 4 Series Now Available In Malaysia
BMW Group Malaysia has made available the new BMW 4 Series, the newest line of its premium executive coupé range, with three models – the BMW 420i Coupé, BMW 430i Coupé and the BMW 430i Gran Coupé.
Mr. Han Sang Yun, Managing Director and CEO of BMW Group Malaysia said, “The history and tradition that we at BMW have with premium sports coupé is one of specialist competency and we have been specialists in creating sporty and dynamic coupes for decades. In fact, we were the first to create coupés in the premium segment with the Neue Klasse from as early as 1962. Today, a new benchmark is once again being set in the segment with these new BMW 4 Series variants. Indeed, these sports coupés will deliver even more power, sportiness and presence in the premium segment.”
The new BMW 4 Series Coupé now further sets itself apart with stylistic features that carry the promise of a powerful presence on the road, stand-out dynamic ability and driving pleasure in abundance. The new premium executive coupé now has an even greater technical differentiation, establishing another new benchmark within its segment with unrivaled dynamic performance, exceptional comfort and remarkable versatility.
The most notable change to the new 4 Series, however, is in its engines. Each variant is powered by the new BMW B48 2-litre engine, an all-new aluminium inline-four cylinder with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and an eight-speed sports automatic transmission.
