The BMW 4 Series is a range of compact executive cars manufactured by BMW since 2013.

The 4 Series was created when BMW spun off the 2-door models (coupé and convertible) of
the 3 Series into a separate series. The 4 Series is currently in its second generation.

The original 4 Series concept car was unveiled in January 2013 at the North American
International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan.[1][2] Both generations have been produced in the
coupé, convertible and 5-door liftback (marketed as "Gran Coupé") body styles. The 4 series
body style is very similar to that of the all electric BMW i4.[3]

The engines available for the first generation were turbocharged inline-3, inline-4 and inline-6
engines fueled by petrol or diesel. For the second generation, a plug-in hybrid powertrain
was introduced. As per the equivalent 3 Series generations, the 4 Series' drivetrain layout is
rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive ("xDrive").

The BMW M4 is the high-performance version of the 4 Series. The first generation of the M4
is called the F82/F83 and uses the same turbocharged inline-six petrol engine as the
F80/F81 M3
