Update: See full specs below
The highly-awaited BMW 4 Series Coupe makes its web debut today. Ahead of the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show public debut, the new BMW 4 Series Coupe was unveiled in all its glory.
The two-door 4er built on the same platform as the F30 3 Series Sedan comes to market with a wide range of powerplant options and packages to successfully compete in the largest and most demanding segment against the likes from Audi, Mercedes, or Lexus.
From the extremely lengthy, yet informative press release, we picked out the vital information. One thing that we love the most in the 4 Series Coupe is that despite the larger size and more equipment, the F32 4 Series Coupe is anywhere from 44 pounds (20kg) to 99 pounds (45kg) lighter than E92 3 Series Coupe.
First BMW 4 Series Coupe will be delivered to U.S. customers in August 2013.
