The positives of this car include superb engine choices, an enjoyable driving experience on country roads, and fantastic interior quality. On the downside, rear headroom can be tight for adults, some options are only available in expensive packages, and the grille design may not appeal to everyone.

Marmite looks aside, there's little to dislike about the new BMW 4 Series. It's got a superb interior, is brilliant to drive and is loaded with tech that's easy to use. Chuck in surprisingly low running costs and high equipment levels and we rate the 4 Series very highly indeed.
