The BMW 4 Series’ predecessors include the legendary BMW 02 (series 114) and the BMW 3 Series Coupé. Since 1990, the 3 Series Coupé (E36) has boasted a striking unique design, being a bit flatter and a bit wider than the traditional saloon, a sport character that remains to this day with the latest 4 Series models. Other influences can be seen in the long doors, frameless window panes,and curved roof line. Two more generations of BMW 3 Series models followed (E46, E92).
In 2013 a new era began – the BMW 3 Series Coupé became the BMW 4 Series (F32, F33, F36). What started with the revolutionary BMW 02 series saloon, now exists with the same pioneering spirit and next-generation look and feel.
