The latest BMW 4 Series belongs to the second generation of the series, featuring compact, executive models, such as the G22 (Coupe), G23 (Convertible), and G26 (Salon/Gran Coupe). The BMW M440i tops the G22 range and features a turbocharged gas engine. The 4 Series largely distinguishes itself from the 3 Series by spotting a large kidney grille inspired by the BMW 328 from the 1930s. It has a 3D pattern meant to give it a more pronounced look. It also features a pronounced duck-tail spoiler and open headlamps that are embedded into the car’s body and boast 3D lighting elements, and thin aluminum wing mirrors.
