Only 20 kg more than the E46 M3 is very impressive no doubt.

2016 BMW 435i ZHP Coupe unveiled with 335 bhp

BMW 435i ZHP Coupe

Goes into production later this year
BMW has unveiled the limited edition 2016 435i ZHP Coupe.

Designed to pay tribute to the original ZHP package on the 2003-2006 E46 3-Series, the special edition features a mix of factory options as well as components from BMW M Performance Accessories.

Starting with the exterior, the model has an M Performance aerodynamics package that includes a carbon fiber front splitter, a carbon fiber rear spoiler and a rear diffuser. The model also has a blacked out grille, M Performance badging and an Alpine White or Black Sapphire Metallic paint job.

The car has also been equipped with a stainless-steel sports exhaust system and a Track Handling Package that includes an Adaptive M Suspension, a Variable Sport Steering system, M Sport Brakes and 18-inch Orbit Grey V-Spoke wheels.

Under the hood, the 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine has been outfitted with an M Performance Kit that adds a new air intake and an optimized ECU. Thanks to these modifications, the engine produces 335 bhp (249 kW) and up to 332 lb-ft (449 Nm) of torque - an increase of 35 bhp (26 kW) and up to 32 lb-ft (43 lb-ft) of torque. The extra oomph enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph 0.2 seconds faster than the standard 435i Coupe.

Speaking of performance, the car has also been equipped with the M Sport package and an M Performance Limited Slip Differential.

Production will be limited to 100 units and pricing will be announced closer to launch.

That's around 340 hp. Pretty damn hot with LSD, M pack and the whole nine yards.

 

[SKY]

Love the overall package. Except the rims. They don´t look special enough.

Give me one, still.

[Padi]

My god, why won't they stop doing those tacky headrests? Also the hand brake, why? Other than that, pretty nice interior, although I'd still take a full black one over it.

It was a customers preference. The colour matches the first BMW M car the customer bought. The E30 M3.

Released earlier last year, the Vorsteiner BMW GTRS4 Widebody created a lot of buzz in the aftermarket world. The extended wheel arches and a completely revamped front and rear end of the vehicle ensured this aero program stood out in the aftermarket world. While not many customers love a widebody kit for the BMW F82 M4, the marvelous design and engineering process is hard to not appreciate.

Vorsteiner’s GTRS4 aero program for this vehicle consists of a carbon fiber front bumper with an integrated aero splitter, a set of wide front fenders with ventilation added, a carbon fiber side blade elements fitted and carbon fiber rear fenders with a carbon fiber aero diffuser. It all fits perfectly, as seen on these images.

The BMW F80 M3 is the latest generation of the high-performance sedan from the Bavarians. It features a 3.0 liter BMW TwinPower Turbo engine, delivering 420 horsepower to the rear wheels. It allows for a sprint from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in just 4.1 seconds, delivering impressive performance on track as well.

An absolute mess, a clown car you just have to point and laugh as it moves slowly in heavy traffic.

 

[Padi]

My biggest problem with it are the dreadful rear arches, look so ugly But yeah, quite a mess. At least they didn't eff up the bumpers though and kept them quite close to the original.

Another interesting take on it is the LB Works M4, have to admit, I quite like the arches

BMW M4 in Pyrite Brown with M Performance parts is a looker
Adrian Padeanu
November 10, 2015

DS Automobiles & Auto Works has released an extensive gallery with its high-specification BMW M4 Coupe.

Pyrite Brown Metallic is certainly not a top choice among BMW buyers that want to pay more for a special color from the Individual catalog, but somehow it suits this M4 very well and as you can see this one also has a custom set of wheels from Hamann. The high-performance coupe is packed with M Performance parts, starting at the front where there’s a blacked out kidney grille and a carbon fiber splitter attachment adorned with the M colors.

Moving at the back, it hosts an Akrapovic quad sports exhaust system with large round tips housed nicely in the aggressive diffuser. The new exhaust is linked to the standard 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine which pushes out 431 PS (317 kW) and 550 Nm (405 lb-ft) of torque.

Photos of the interior are not available in this set, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this M4 also has some M Performance tweaks in the cabin to go with the upgraded exterior.

Speaking of M Performance goodies, BMW recently expanded the catalog tailored to the M4 by adding new items which will be available starting next June. The most important addition is a carbon fiber rear wing, but you can also add carbon fiber side mirror caps, a new exhaust system, glossy black grille, CFRP inserts and some upgrades for the interior as well.

Früher als gedacht kommt der BMW 440i als neues Topmodell der 4er-Reihe in den Handel. Der schon im BMW 340i beeindruckendeReihensechszylinder B58 ersetzt nun auch im BMW 4er den 435i und bietet eine zwar auf den ersten Blick überschaubare Leistungssteigerung von 306 auf 326 PS sowie ein um 50 auf 450 Newtonmeter erhöhtes Drehmoment-Maximum, viel wichtiger als diese Zahlen sind aber ohne Zweifel das deutlich verbesserte Ansprechverhalten des Motors und der Umstand, dass die Nennleistung in einem breiteren Drehzahlbereich als bisher anliegt.

Ab dem Sport-Modus reagiert der B58 extrem spontan auf Gaspedalbewegungen und begeistert sportliche Naturen außerdem mit seiner Drehfreude. Freunde manueller Getriebe können das neue BMW 440i Coupé mit Sechsgang-Getriebe bestellen, nur im Fall von 440i Gran Coupé und 440i Cabrio gehört die bewährte Achtgang-Automatik von ZF zum Serienumfang. Alle drei Karosserievarianten sind auf Wunsch auch als BMW 440i xDrive mit Allradantrieb erhältlich.

BMW 440i 2016: Bessere Performance, weniger Verbrauch
Noch etwas besser als beim bisherigen 435i fallen die Fahrleistungen aus, so beschleunigt das BMW 440i xDrive Coupé in 4,8 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 und unterbietet den Vorgänger damit um eine Zehntel, die manuellen Varianten sind zwei Zehntelsekunden schneller als bisher. Die heckgetriebenen Coupés mit zwei und vier Türen absolvieren den Standardsprint in 5,0 bis 5,1 Sekunden, das 440i Cabrio benötigt 5,4 Sekunden für die gleiche Übung. Bei allen Varianten wird die Höchstgeschwindigkeit elektronisch auf 250 km/h begrenzt. Der Leistungssteigerung zum Trotz konnte der Verbrauch im EU-Zyklus um bis zu 12 Prozent reduziert werden.

Auch unterhalb des neuen Topmodells wird die Motorenpalette des BMW 4er 2016 gründlich überarbeitet. Der bisherige 428i wird durch den neuen BMW 430i mit 252 PS starkem B48-Triebwerk ersetzt und auch im 184 PS starken BMW 420i kommt künftig der neue Baukasten-Motor zum Einsatz. Der BMW 425d nutzt ab dem Frühjahr den neuen Biturbo-Diesel auf B47-Basis, dieser bietet 224 PS und 450 Newtonmeter Drehmoment. Im EU-Zyklus verbraucht der neue Diesel bis zu 8 Prozent weniger als bisher, die sparsamste Variante kommt auf 4,4 Liter Normverbrauch.

For Zafiro
BMW 4 Series model range: all-new selection of petrol engines and another latest-generation diesel engine.
The engine line-up for the BMW 4 Series model range will be refreshed in spring 2016 as another four representatives of the BMW Group’s new engine generation take to the stage. The selection of petrol engines is all new and another four-cylinder diesel from the latest crop will also be available for the BMW 4 Series Coupe, BMW 4 Series Convertible and BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe from March 2016.

The flagship engine will be a totally newly developed six-cylinder in- line unit with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, which develops maximum output of 240 kW/326 hp (up 15 kW/20 hp) from its 3.0- litre displacement and produces peak torque of 450 Newton metres / 332 lb-ft (+ 50 Nm / 37 lb-ft). In the new BMW 440i Coupe the engine channels its power through a six-speed manual gearbox as standard or an eight-speed Steptronic transmission as an option (the latter is standard on the BMW 440i Convertible and BMW 440i Gran Coupe). Added to which, the three most powerful versions of the BMW 4 Series model range can also be specified with BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive.

The BMW 440i Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.2 seconds (automatic: 5.0 seconds), the BMW 440i Convertible completes the same sprint in 5.4 seconds and the BMW 440i Gran Coupe posts a figure of 5.1 seconds. This represents a 0.2-second improvement for the BMW 440i Coupe, while the other two models – when fitted with the Steptronic transmission – both shave 0.1 seconds off the times set by their predecessors. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are both reduced by up to 12 per cent and now stand at 7.7 – 7.4 litres per 100 kilometres / 36.7 – 38.2 mpg imp (automatic: 6.8 – 6.6 litres / 41.5 – 42.8 mpg imp) and 179 – 172 grams per kilometre (159 – 154 g/km) for the BMW 440i Coupe, 7.2 – 6.8 litres per 100 kilometres (39.2 – 41.5 mpg imp) and 167 –159 grams per kilometre for the BMW 440i Convertible and 6.8 – 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres (41.5 – 42.8 mpg imp) and 159 – 154 grams per kilometre for the BMW 440i Gran Coupe (figures according to EU test cycle, may vary depending on the tyre format specified).

The new four-cylinder petrol engines available for the BMW 4 Series from March 2016 also play their part in enhancing both sports performance and efficiency. With output raised by 5 kW/7 hp to 185 kW/252 hp and peak torque of 350 Newton metres (258 lb-ft), the most powerful latest-generation four-cylinder unit provides 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) times of 5.9 seconds (automatic: 5.8 seconds) for the new BMW 430i Coupe, 6.4 seconds (6.3 seconds) for the new BMW 430i Convertible and 5.9 seconds (5.9 seconds) for the new BMW 430i Gran Coupe. The BMW 430i Coupe and BMW 430i Gran Coupe record fuel onsumption and CO2 emissions of 6.5 – 6.1 litres per 100 kilometres / 43.5 – 46.3 mpg imp (automatic: 5.8 – 5.5 litres / 48.7 – 51.4 mpg imp) and 151 – 143 grams per kilometre (136 – 129 g/km). The BMW 430i Convertible posts figures of 7.0 – 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres / 40.4 – 42.8 mpg imp (6.3 – 5.9 litres / 44.8 – 47.9 mpg imp) and 162 – 154 grams per kilometre (146 – 138 g/km; figures according to EU test cycle, may vary depending on the tyre format specified). BMW xDrive can also be specified for these model variants. Models with the intelligent all-wheel-drive system also come with the eight-speed Steptronic transmission as standard.

The BMW 420i Coupe, BMW 420i Convertible and BMW 420i Gran Coupe will likewise be powered by a member of the latest engine generation from March 2016, in the shape of the 135 kW/184 hp four-cylinder unit. All three are also fitted as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox and available with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission as an option. The new BMW 420i Coupe requires 7.3 seconds (automatic: 7.5 seconds) to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph), while the BMW 420i Convertible and BMW 420i Gran Coupe log times of 8.2 seconds (8.4 seconds) and 7.5 seconds (7.7 seconds) respectively. Combined fuel consumption and CO2 emissions stand at 6.1 – 5.8 litres per 100 kilometers / 46.3 – 48.7 mpg imp (automatic: 5.8 – 5.5 litres / 48.7 – 51.4 mpg imp) and 141 – 134 grams per kilometre (134 – 127 g/km) for both the BMW 420i Coupe and the BMW 420i Gran Coupe, while the BMW 420i Convertible records figures of 6.6 – 6.2 litres per 100 kilometres / 42.8 – 45.6 mpg imp (6.2 – 5.8 litres / 45.6 – 48.7 mpg imp) and 153 – 145 grams per kilometre (144 – 136 g/km; figures according to EU test cycle, may vary depending on the tyre format specified). The BMW 420i xDrive Coupe and BMW 420i xDrive Gran Coupe all-wheel-drive models are both offered with new engines and can also be ordered with a manual gearbox or Steptronic transmission.

Another, particularly powerful four-cylinder diesel engine from the latest generation will be available for the BMW 425d Coupe, BMW 425d Convertible and BMW 425d Gran Coupe from March 2016. The latest edition of BMW TwinPower Turbo technology for diesel engines imbues the unit with maximum output of 165 kW/224 hp and peak torque of 450 Newton metres (332 lb-ft). This increased pulling power whisks the new BMW 425d Coupe, new BMW 425d Convertible and new BMW 425d Gran Coupe from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.5 seconds (automatic: 6.1 seconds), 7.1 seconds (6.7 seconds) and 6.7 seconds (6.3 seconds) respectively. This extra sporting sharpness – which cuts 0 -100 km/h (62 mph) times by up to 0.4 seconds, depending on the model variant – is accompanied by reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of up to 8 per cent. The BMW 425d Coupe now boasts figures of 4.9 – 4.6 litres per 100 kilometres / 57.7 – 61.4 mpg imp (automatic: 4.7 – 4.4 litres / 60.1 – 64.2 mpg) and 129 – 121 grams per kilometre (124 – 116 g/km), the BMW 425d Convertible records 5.4 – 5.1 litres per 100 kilometres / 52.3 – 55.4 mpg imp (5.1 – 4.8 litres / 55.4 – 58.9 mpg) and 141 – 133 grams per kilometre (135 – 127 g/km), and the BMW 425d Gran Coupe posts 5.1 – 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres / 55.4 – 60.1 mpg imp (4.8 – 4.6 litres / 58.9 – 61.4 mpg) and 133 – 125 grams per kilometre (127 – 120 g/km; figures according to EU test cycle, may vary depending on the tyre format specified).

BMW 4 Series Convertible and BMW M4 Convertible: Open Air package enables even greater open-top motoring pleasure.

A model-specific Open Air package will also be available as an option from March 2016 for the BMW 4 Series Convertible and BMW M4 Convertible. A heated steering wheel, neck warmer (adjustable through three stages), wind deflector, HiFi loudspeaker system and through-loading system between the boot area and rear compartment raise the pleasure of open-top motoring to new heights and provide additional functionality.

New, exceptionally powerful four-cylinder diesel engine for the BMW 325d Sedan and BMW 325d Touring.
The handing over of the baton from one engine generation to the next underpins further advances in the sporting ability and efficiency of the BMW 325d Sedan and BMW 325d Touring. Their new four- cylinder diesel engine benefits from the latest edition of BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, including multi-stage turbocharging and common-rail direct injection, and develops maximum output of 165 kW/224 hp from its 2.0-litre displacement.

Both models allow customers to link the new version of the 2.0-litre engine with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard or an eight- speed Steptronic transmission as an option. The new BMW 325d Sedan sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.5 seconds (automatic: 6.1 seconds) and posts average fuel consumption of 4.9 – 4.6 litres (4.7 – 4.4 litres) per 100 kilometres / 57.7 – 61.4 mpg imp (60.1 – 64.2 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions of 129 – 121 grams per kilometre (124 – 116 g/km). The 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration of the new BMW 325d Touring is 6.7 seconds with the manual gearbox and 6.3 seconds when the Steptronic transmission is fitted. Its fuel consumption comes in at 5.2 – 4.9 litres (automatic: 5.0 – 4.7 litres) per 100 kilometres / 54.3 – 57.7 mpg imp (56.5 – 60.1 mpg imp), and CO2 emissions are 137 – 129 grams per kilometre (131 – 123 g/km; figures according to EU test cycle, may vary depending on the tyre format specified).

I sure hope that BMW isn't making the automatic standard in 440 convertible as stated in the "press release" or whatever this is. I'm tempted by it and currently one can order a 435 with a manual, at least in Europe.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Does anyone has any idea of the discount/rebate possibilities of a BMW 4er Coupé in Germany? Is 10% for real or just an illusion?
