430i Gran Coupe (2017-2020)

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

The 2017-2020 BMW 430i Gran Coupe is a stylish four-door coupe blending sportiness with practicality. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 248 horsepower, it offers engaging handling characteristic of BMW's reputation while providing genuine rear-seat space and a sizable trunk. Reviewers praise its sharp steering, composed ride, and upscale interior, though some note the base engine lacks the excitement of the six-cylinder 440i. The sleek roofline sacrifices some headroom but delivers head-turning looks. It's well-suited for professionals and enthusiasts seeking a premium daily driver that balances performance with usability—ideal for those wanting luxury sport sedan dynamics without sacrificing style or rear-passenger comfort. The Gran Coupe format makes it more practical than the two-door 4 Series while maintaining coupe aesthetics.

The 430i Gran Coupe requires premium fuel and expensive synthetic oil changes every 10,000 miles. Common issues include coolant leaks, oil filter housing gasket failures, and electronic malfunctions. Parts and labor are pricey at BMW dealers. Insurance runs higher than average due to luxury classification and repair costs, though reliability improved over previous generations.
