2018 BMW 4 Series 430i Gran Coupe

The 2018 BMW 430i Gran Coupe is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury compact sedan with a sleek, coupe-inspired silhouette — combining sporty styling with practicality. Under the hood it packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that produces 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It uses an 8-speed automatic transmission and powers the rear wheels. The 0–60 mph sprint happens in around 5.6 seconds, making it fairly quick and responsive for daily driving. Despite its performance, it delivers reasonable efficiency — roughly 24 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, for a combined ~27 mpg.
On the outside, the 430i Gran Coupe features elegant aerodynamic proportions, a wheelbase of 110.6 inches and an overall length near 182.7 inches, giving it a balance between sporty presence and manageable size. The body sits relatively low, giving it a somewhat aggressive stance but also a refined profile that stands out among typical sedans.
Inside, the cabin seats up to five people and offers comfortable front head- and leg-room. The rear seats, while usable, benefit from the sloping roofline — so taller passengers may notice reduced rear-seat headroom and visibility isn’t ideal from the back seats. The interior is well-equipped: features include leather seats, power-adjustable front seats, ambient lighting, Bluetooth, navigation, and modern convenience touches like a proximity key, USB ports, and steering-wheel controls.
Ride quality is generally composed and smooth — especially on highways, where it excels at soaking up bumps and providing a comfortable, quiet ride. On the handling side, while it’s competent and stable, some reviewers note the handling is more balanced than sporty — you get good everyday drivability but it doesn’t feel like a dedicated performance-car when pushed.
The utility — trunk and storage space — works decently for a vehicle in this class, though it doesn’t offer as much practicality as a traditional taller sedan or hatchback. Overall, the 2018 430i Gran Coupe delivers a solid blend of luxury, performance, and style without going overboard — ideal for someone wanting an upscale, good-looking 'everyday drive' with a touch of BMW flair.
