About the BMW 4 Series G22
The G22-generation 4 Series arrived in 2020, instantly sparking debate with its oversized vertical kidney grilles inspired by the pre-war 328. Beneath the controversial styling, the 420d serves as the range's efficiency leader, pairing a refined 2.0-litre diesel engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system for effortless cruising. It shares its CLAR platform with the G20 3 Series but features a wider rear track and bespoke suspension tuning for a more focused driving experience. As a collector prospect, it represents the final era of pure diesel executive coupés, offering a blend of long-distance capability and modern BMW tech that is increasingly rare.
