430i xDrive Coupe (2017-2020)

Can you afford a 2017-2020 BMW 4 Series 430i xDrive Coupe in 2025?

# 2017-2020 BMW 430i xDrive Coupe The 430i xDrive Coupe represents BMW's stylish two-door interpretation of the 4 Series, featuring a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 248 horsepower paired with standard all-wheel drive. This sleek coupe delivers BMW's signature driving dynamics with composed handling and a refined interior wrapped in elegant sheet metal. Reviewers praise its near-perfect weight distribution and engaging steering, though some criticize the four-cylinder's uninspiring soundtrack compared to six-cylinder alternatives. The infotainment system occasionally draws complaints for complexity. The 430i xDrive gained notoriety alongside its 4 Series siblings for polarizing styling debates regarding BMW's design direction. **Ideal for:** Young professionals or empty-nesters seeking a practical yet sporty daily driver with all-weather capability. The rear seats and usable trunk make it surprisingly functional for a coupe, while AWD provides confidence in winter climates.

The 430i xDrive is generally reliable for a BMW, but expect premium costs: synthetic oil changes ($150-200), run-flat tires ($1,000+ per set), and expensive brake jobs ($800-1,500). Common issues include coolant leaks and electronic glitches. Insurance runs 15-25% higher than non-luxury coupes. BMW's included maintenance ended after 3 years/36,000 miles.
