2021 BMW 4-Series Unveiling Date Reportedly Leaked

Development of the new generation BMW 4-Series is almost complete, and a new report states that it’s a few months away from being shown to the world.

According to BMWBlog, which quotes undisclosed sources, the sports coupe will be unveiled in June. Naturally, since the 2020 Detroit Auto Show has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the vehicle should be presented online.

The first member of the new 4-Series lineup to be uncovered will likely be the Coupe, followed by the Convertible and the five-door Gran Coupe. All of them will be based on the CLAR platform, shared with the latest 3-Series, and will come with the controversial mega double kidney grilles up front that have been leaked several times. The same front treatment will be adopted by the new M3 and M4 as well.

Inside, all three models will mirror the looks of the latest 3-Series. As a result, users should expect the identical dashboard layout, with the infotainment screen sitting in the middle, next to the digital instrument cluster and above the central air vents. Every button and knob will carry over with no changes whatsoever, though the backseat will be more cramped in the two-door 4-Series.

The entire engine lineup will be shared with the premium compact sedan and estate and will include the usual four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel mills. A plug-in hybrid is understood to join the range as well, while the new M4, as well as the M3, will use the 3.0-liter six-pot from the X3 M and X4 M, producing up to 510 PS (503 HP / 375 kW) in the Competition versions.
