Performance
BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive takes traction, directional stability and agility to even greater heights. The system is fitted as standard in the range-topping model BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé and is available for the 420d diesel model as an alternative to classical rear-wheel drive.
Mild hybrid technology is included with the straight-six petrol and diesel engines. A 48V starter-generator acts like an electric drive unit that assists the engine, allowing it to operate within an efficiency-optimised load range as much as possible. An electric boost effect is also offered, which adds an extra 11hp to give the power unit an even sharper response.
BMW M440i xDrive
A six-cylinder in-line unit powers the BMW M440i xDrive, which has been developed with racetrack expertise. It generates a maximum output of 374hp with torque peaking at 500Nm, enabling the car to sprint from 0-62mph in just 4.7 seconds, all complemented by the distinctive-sounding standard M Sport exhaust system.
BMW 420i and 430i
The upgraded BMW TwinPower Turbo technology enhances the performance of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engines. The more powerful of the two generates 245hp and a peak torque of 400Nm, enabling it to accelerate to 62mph from standstill in only 6.2 seconds. The four-cylinder engine in the 420i produces 184hp and a peak torque of 300Nm, launching it from 0 to 62mph in 7.9 seconds.
