ABOUT THE 2018 BMW 430I GRAN COUPE
The 2018 BMW 430i Gran Coupe is the four-cylinder model of the 4 Series Gran Coupe (F36), a five-door liftback that blends coupe styling with rear doors and a large hatch. Its 2.0-litre turbocharged B46 engine produces 248 hp and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm). This entry covers the rear-wheel-drive version with the eight-speed automatic; xDrive all-wheel drive was also available.
Updated for 2018
The Gran Coupe joined the 4 Series family for 2015. The 430i badge arrived for 2017, and for 2018 the car received the range-wide facelift, with revised LED lighting front and rear, updated bumpers, firmer suspension tuning and higher-quality interior details.
Practicality
The Gran Coupe is the most practical 4 Series. Its rear doors make it easy to use as a family car, and it seats five, though the sloping roofline limits headroom for taller rear passengers. The powered tailgate opens to a large load area, and the rear seats split and fold, making it more versatile than the 3 Series saloon on which it is based. Frameless door windows add to its coupe-like look.
Buying one today
The B46 engine has a generally good reputation, with oil filter housing gasket and coolant leaks among the faults owners mention. Check the tailgate mechanism, run-flat tyre wear and electronic equipment, and confirm that servicing has been carried out on schedule.
Rivals
The 430i Gran Coupe competed with the Audi A5 Sportback, which arrived in the US for 2018, the Kia Stinger and the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class.
