New BMW 4-Series shows its sporty side with M Performance add-ons

The BMW 4 Series M Performance Parts have been revealed (pictured)

The new BMW 4-Series Coupe may not have arrived in BMW showrooms yet, but that hasn’t stopped BMW showcasing how you can spend extra money on your new 4-Series with a range of M Performance accessories. So when you do go and spec up your new 4-Series you’ll also be able to tick some of the boxes on the M Performance Accessories list for your dealer to fit when your car arrives for delivery and (almost) turn it in to an imitation M4 Coupe if you wish.

Probably the biggest seller will be the showy stuff, like the M-Performance body kit which adds a lower front bumper with carbon fibre splitter and bigger air intakes, bigger sills, new back bumper with diffuser and ducts, carbon fibre spoiler at the back, dark chrome trim and carbon fibre door mirror caps.

Titivations for the interior include an M steering wheel, heavily contoured seats and other bits BMW are yet to reveal.

For the stuff you don’t see, BMW are offering a selection of power upgrades (an ECU and exhaust tweak) for most of the range, with the 420d getting an extra 16bhp and 29lb/ft of torque, the 428i 27bhp and 29lb/ft and the 435i an extra 34bhp and 37lb/ft. Emissions and economy are unchanged.

We’re assuming that similar power upgrades will also be available for the 420i, 430d and 435d when they arrive soon after launch.

The new BMW 4-Series goes on sale in October with prices from £31,575 for the 420d.
