This means the base 430i continues with a 248-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 while the more potent 440i continues with a 320-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6. In addition to these two powertrains, buyers will also continue to have the choice of 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmissions and rear- or all-wheel drive.
We can confirm that there’s also been no boost in output for the M4 which remains down on power compared to rivals such as the Cadillac ATS-V Coupe and Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe. The car's familiar turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 continues to deliver 425 hp as standard and 444hp with the available Competition Package.
Pricing is yet to be released but should start close to the $43,145 starting price of the 2017 model.
Note, this should be the final update for the 4-Series family before a complete redesign. A redesigned 3-Series debuts in 2017, and a redesigned 4-Series should follow a year or two later.
