Performance and Efficiency

At its most standard level, the BMW 4-Series comes packed with a turbocharged four-cylinder that produces a robust 255 horsepower for your trek across North Olmsted. But there are three other distinct powertrain options, one for each 4-Series trim level. Find your power wheelhouse somewhere between the 382-horsepower six-cylinder, 473-horsepower six-cylinder, or the 503-horsepower six-cylinder. BMW xDrive all-wheel drive is available on most trims.

The BMW M44Oi trim is also offered as a plug-in hybrid vehicle. Its powertrain consists of a 3.0L six-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a lithium-ion battery pack. The gasoline engine powers the front wheels while one of the two electric motors powers the rear wheels.

When additional torque is needed from both front and rear wheels together, both electric motors actuate as generators to send electricity to charge the battery pack as well as provide additional torque output to drive all four wheels through their respective clutches/differential gearboxes. The lithium-ion battery pack can be charged from any wall outlet in about four hours using a Level 1 charger or 8 hours with a Level 2 charger.

Interior Design

The interior of the BMW 4-Series is comfortable and functional for North Ridgeville drivers, but also spacious enough for passengers and cargo. It is well decorated with standard synthetic leather seats and driver seat memory functions. You'll find nothing but first-class elements throughout for a luxurious ride through Lakewood.

When it comes to the exterior, BMW has a sleek and modern design. The company has also made the vehicle aerodynamic so that they have improved fuel efficiency and better performance. These steps will help BMW become even more competitive in the market and give customers what they want.

Technology

New for the 4-Series is BMW ConnectedDrive, which brings a host of connected features to your car. Features include BMW M44Oi Pro App and BMW Remote Services. The app allows you to start, stop, and lock/unlock your vehicle from anywhere in the world using your smartphone device's built-in Wi-Fi hotspot or via a 4G LTE connection on major US carriers. At the same time, remote services give you access to various live services like geofencing, speed alerts, and maintenance notifications.

Safety Features

BMW 4-Series comes packed with impressive safety technology and driver-assist features. The vehicle also includes lane departure warning and collision avoidance systems. Speed limit recognition takes the guesswork away as you enter new speed zones. A driver alertness monitoring system uses cameras to monitor eye movement and body posture to detect drowsiness.

Pedestrian Detection keeps an eye out for any possible obstacles that dart into your path. These are all just the standard features. The available adaptive cruise control system adjusts speed based on traffic conditions, so you can rest easy knowing that your car will keep safe distances from other vehicles on the road. Traffic Jam Assistance gives you real-time feedback about any potential detours you may encounter.
