Used 2019 BMW 4 Series 430i for sale 

Both the 430i and the 440i manage to tick all the necessary boxes that one should expect from an expensive sedan that they are. As far as features are concerned, both the trims are fully loaded, with sufficient option numbers to cover all the deal. While the 440i gets a standard All-Wheel Drivetrain, the 430i gets it as an option. There's ample leather in the iinterior of both the trims

What We Recommend:- The 440i Coupe with all-wheel-drive is the best option to go for. However, it costs 3500 bucks more than the 430i with AWD but you get a more powerful engine than the base trim and a better equipment list. The 430i' performance is more towards satisfying the majority of the drivers out there. Don't expect pops of adrenaline-rushing power delivery from this coupe; it has sufficient delivery of power to match the decent and smooth functioning transmission with easy shifts. 

The BMW 430i comes standard with a 2.0L inline-4 cylinders mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This together churns out 248 hp and 250 lb.-ft. of torque that is all thrown to the rear wheels of the coupe. The extra oomph factor is reserved for the muscular 440i trim with 6-cylinders with over 300 horses underneath it. An xDrive system, Beemer's take on the all-wheel-drive system, is available for $2000 more than the base price. A six-speed manual transmission is optional but exclusive to coupe body type. The 4 series hosts a bunch of technology and features inside.

Its rivals boast better powertrain and output all across the competition with some similarities along with Jaguar XE, Mercedes C-Class, and the Audi A5.

Acceleration

Propelling the rear wheels of the 430i from naught to 60 miles per hour takes around 5.5s while racing down the quarter-mile in 14.3s. Its 2.0L powertrain is quite quick in its propulsion, matching its rivals despite being pretty underpowered in comparison. The coupe is bested by the Cadillac ATS by a mere 0.2s which in all fairness pretty irrelevant and unnoticeable in real-world application. The slowest amongst the pack is the Genesis G70 while the Beemer's archnemesis', Audi A5 and Mercedes C300, are similar in performance.

How does the BMW 4 Series Ride and Handle?

The BMW 430i rides and handles pretty well on the tarmac. Whether it is the casual driving amongst the freeway or the zig-zags of the curvaceous regions, the Beemer steers with ease and responsively. A comfortable ride is enhanced in the Comfort mode while Sport mode turns the grip up and stiffens the coupe to drive like the intended sports machine this coupe is attuned for. However, the athletic tune feels a bit too artificial and over-imposed than naturally letting the sportiness flow from under the coupe.

The Beemer's adaptive dampers cushion well the coupe despite being a stiffer ride than before when driven over bumps and uneven tarmac. Sharp turns and maneuverability leaves a mark of confidence and body roll is minimal. Its multipurpose character will suit the enthusiasts or a family of 4 with poise.

BMW 4 Series: Braking Performance

On the four wheels of the 430i are fitted 12.3" rotor on the front and 11.8" on the rear wheels. These clasp the brakes on the coupe, taking a quick 162 feet in stopping the 3500 pound heavy BMW from 0-60 miles per hour. Its brake pedals feels good whether it's applied suddenly or gradually, staying consistent with effectively performing when needed. The Giulia takes 124 feet from 60-0 miles per hour that is also average in the segment while the C300 has a few feet advantage over the Beemer.

Pretty thrifty in its powertrain, the Beemer ceases to disappoint in its fuel efficiency delivering 24 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. Balancing efficiency and performance, the 430i is positively an excellent choice for daily driving. The rest of the field guzzles down similar liters of juice to keep the motors running.

The cabin of the 430i is not really what its performance or the exterior of the coupe portray. There's not much going on either; it's neither sporty nor does it ride like a comfortable posh coupe. Seating in the front is far more comfortable with adjustable positions than the rear seating where we'd think twice before asking an adult to get into - typical of a coupe.

Synthetic leather makes up the upholstery of the cabin with plastic-feeling tactile material making up the dash. Visibility sort of takes a hit due to the sloping roofline especially for tall riders. Outside noise rarely creeps inside.

Interior Features

Interior Features for the 430i are as follows -

• 10-way power front sport seats; including 2-way power side bolsters, 2-way manual headrests, and thigh support; driver memory for exterior mirror and seat positions
• SensaTec upholstery
• 40/20/40 split fold-down through-load rear seats
• Tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
• Ambient cabin lighting

Infotainment System

Seated along the dash is a 6.5" BMW iDrive infotainment system that works exceptionally well in the segment. While it does take some time to get used to its controls and explore the multitude of arrays of menus, the system is otherwise intuitive and fairly straightforward. Some features include -

• Apple CarPlay Compatibility with 1-year trial
• Instrument cluster with extended contents
• 9-speaker audio system with CD Player
• USB audio connection and hands-free Bluetooth including Audio Streaming
• Advanced Real-Time Traffic Information

Cargo Volume

Inside the BMW's boot, the coupe can accommodate 15.7 cubic feet of luggage which is decent enough for its size. The Audi A5 is the most copious in its trunk while the Cadillac ATS shares the worst-of-the-lot award with Genesis G70.

Rolling over 18" doubled-spoke alloy wheels, the Bavarian model continues with the design alongside new lights on both fronts introduced last year. The design of the coupe looks restrained and conservative but not in a bad way. It still looks stylishly sporty and elegant - something BMW beautifully blends.

The front fascia incorporates the famous kidney-grille with LED headlights flanked on either side followed by mesh-grilles fitted with fog lights. Longnose with subtle slits and the Beemer insignia make up the hood of the 430i. Detailed parallel character line run across the side profile and deeply routed air intake sit near the fenders.

Aerodynamically designed to assist in the coupe's performance, the 182" long sleek profile moves all the way towards the back. Clear, no-nonsense elements make up the entirety of the coupe. On the back is dominated by a plain and simple fascia with LED brake lights and dual-tailpipes on the rear left. The coupe sits 5 inches from the ground, clearly not suited for rough tracks.

Exterior Features

Some features fitted on the body of the 430i are as follows -

• Matte Chrome exterior trim
• 18" double spoke light alloy wheels
• Power-folding, heated side mirrors
• LED headlights
• LED fog lights

With the crash test records absent by the NHTSA and IIHS, we can't judge the Beemer how safe and reliable the coupe is. But the abundance of safety equipment featured in the 430i make a difference in how reliable the coupe is in preventing and providing comfort to you knowing you're in safe hands. Some standard features included are -

• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
• Front and rear Head Protection System (HPS)
• Knee airbags for driver and front passenger
• Front safety belts with automatic pretensioners
• Automatic-locking retractors (ALR) on all passenger safety belts for installation of child-restraint seat
• LATCH attachments for child-restraint safety installation
• Anti-theft alarm system
• BMW Assist eCall includes Emergency Request (SOS button) and Enhanced Automatic Collision Notification

BMW 4 Series vs Audi A5

Famed German rivals, the Audi A5 and BMW 430i are both really great coupes. Except of the ride quality where the A5 is more brisk and feels eager, the Beemer is more poised and polished. While characterizing its sporty spirit, the 430i is lesser of a sport coupe in contrast to its German rival which however cuts ride comfort to achieve that. Tech and features alongside quality are remarkable as European manufacturers generally are. Nonetheless the A5 bests the 430i if you’d give in proper detailed comparison in the most important ways and we think the same when it comes to owning one of these German 2-doors.

BMW 4 Series vs Mercedes C-Class

An infamous rivalry, the BMW 430i and Mercedes C300 quite similar than you’d think. The silver arrows is the epitome of luxury, comfort and opulence while the Beemer takes the sport side of it. While both deliver on excellent host of tech and safety features, the Mercedes this year is more engaging to drive than before, closing the gap to becoming an all-round package. It all depends which manufacturer would you prefer on your nose, the Bavarian or the 3-star.

BMW 4 Series vs Cadillac ATS

Cadillac ATS has slowly been catching up with the European masters and with this coupe, it has given great driving dynamics and performance. While it still plays catch up with the quality and technology, the BMW 430i fits whatever the ATS brings alongside plethora of great features and equipments. Also practicality takes relatively more central staging on the Beemer than the American sport coupe. Deciding which is the best is sort of a tough one; the American coupe is a more polished rival than it was before but if you’d still prefer the tried and tested formula, then stick with the 430i.

Trying to blend sport with comfort? Let the 430i do the talking. The coupe can cater to the family of four while also to the enthusiast who'd want to take it for a good spin. With plenty of features to keep it afresh and technological equipment, the 430i is a rather good deal for a BMW.

Its main competitors do however give it a tough rivalry but the 430i still manages to keep up its head and keep them on their toes. Like the C300 of Silver Arrow or the A5 of that of Audi who're main German rivals to the Bavarian coupe, the Beemer is a mix of both the coupes put in one and is still a great buy regardless.
