The BMW 4 Series, known for its stylish design and dynamic driving experience, generally holds a good reputation for reliability. It shares many mechanical components with the 3 Series, which contributes to its solid performance track record.
However, owners have reported some issues, particularly with the electronics, including the infotainment system and navigation glitches, as well as problems with the air conditioning system not functioning properly. There have also been mentions of concerns with the engine cooling system and occasional noises from the suspension or steering components.
Despite these issues, the 4 Series is often praised for its driving dynamics, quality interior, and overall performance. Regular maintenance and attention to any recalls or service bulletins can mitigate many of the potential problems, making the 4 Series a generally reliable choice for a luxury coupe or convertible.
