The BMW i4 and BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé feature a refreshed design that brings additional visual impact to the brand’s signature brand features. The surround of the BMW kidney grille is now finished in matt chrome. Due to the low cooling requirement of the electric drive system, the BMW kidney grille of the new BMW i4 has a fully enclosed upper section, which sits below a Black high-gloss surface topped by a matt-silver honeycomb pattern. The air intakes on the combustion-engine versions of the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé have a mesh structure with surfaces now painted in matt Quartz Silver. As well as a front apron with large side air intakes, BMW i4 and BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé models in M Sport specification also include a diffuser element in the lower section of the rear bumper, which is now painted in high-gloss Black. In addition, the exhaust tailpipes integrated into the rear apron on the left and right of the combustion-engine models have grown from 90 millimetres to 100 millimetres in diameter. Like the BMW kidney grille surround, if the optional M high-gloss Shadowline is specified, they are finished in Black high-gloss. Customers can also choose to order their cars with the M Sport Pro pack and M Carbon exterior pack.
The visually and functionally upgraded headlights also play their part in the modern appearance of the front end. The new structure of their LED units creates a focused look, with the low and high beam being generated from a single LED module. A pair of vertical and subtly arrow-shaped LED units house the side light, daytime driving light and turn signal indicator functions. If the optional Comfort Access is fitted, the new headlights generate a Welcome Light Animation once the driver and vehicle key come within three metres of the car.
Options include Adaptive LED Headlights with blue inlays, non-dazzling matrix high beam, urban lights and a cornering light function. The prism structure of the LED units for the urban lights provides a striking contrast against the uniform illumination of the daytime driving light units. Where customers choose the optional Adaptive LED Headlights on the new BMW i4 and new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, their vehicle will also be fitted with highly expressive Laserlight rear lights. This model-specific version of an innovative lighting effect employs a technology first seen in the BMW M4 CSL. Laser diodes each illuminate a fibre optic bundle giving the rear units an intricate light graphic, creating an exclusive light design at the rear of these newly revised models.
