BMW 4 Series 440i Gran Coupe.
For the longest time, the 3 Series was BMW’s compact sedan and coupe. That changed in 2014 when BMW decided to split the coupe models to form the new 4 Series. You would think that the 4 Series would be entirely made up of 2-door sporty coupes, but you would be wrong. There’s the 4 Series Gran Coupe, which is a 4-door sedan in a coupe-style body. Talk about confusing consumers.
The newest 4 Series Gran Coupe is the 440i Gran Coupe, which replaces the 435i Gran Coupe. As is the norm with BMW’s nomenclature these days, the new 440i Gran Coupe does not have a 4-liter engine. Instead, it has a turbocharged 3-liter straight six and it is a totally new power plant from BMW’s new B-series of engines. The old 435i Gran Coupe also had a turbocharged 3-liter straight six, but this new engine is more powerful and fuel efficient.
Maximum power output is now 326hp and 450nm of torque, that’s about 20hp and 50nm more than the outgoing 435i. The new 440i Gran Coupe also gets a new 8-speed automatic transmission with revised gear ratios - shorter ratios for the first two gears and taller ones for the others. This should mean sprightlier takeoffs and more relaxed cruising.
