430i Coupe (2021-2025)

Can you afford a 2021-2025 BMW 4 Series 430i Coupe in 2025?

# 2021-2025 BMW 430i Coupe The BMW 430i Coupe is a sleek two-door grand tourer featuring a 255-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Most notably, it introduced BMW's controversial oversized kidney grille, which dominates the front fascia and sparked heated debate among enthusiasts. Reviewers praise its engaging handling, refined interior, and smooth powerplant, though some critique the four-cylinder's lack of emotional appeal compared to six-cylinder predecessors. The polarizing styling remains its most infamous trait—loved or loathed with little middle ground. Well-suited for daily driving enthusiasts seeking sporty dynamics in a comfortable, tech-laden package, it balances performance with luxury. The coupe format sacrifices practicality but rewards with style and driving engagement. Ideal for singles, couples, or empty-nesters prioritizing aesthetics and driving pleasure over cargo space.

The 2021-2025 BMW 430i Coupe requires premium fuel and pricey synthetic oil changes. Maintenance costs are higher than average, though BMW's complimentary scheduled maintenance (3 years/36,000 miles) helps initially. Insurance runs above average due to luxury classification and repair costs. The B48 turbocharged engine has proven generally reliable, countering older BMW stereotypes.
