Performance Tailored to Your Driving Style
The 2026 BMW 5 Series and the 2026 BMW 4 Series Coupe feature a 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine, generating 255 horsepower and enhanced by 48V mild hybrid technology. If you’re seeking seamless efficiency with a little extra boost, either model fits the bill.
The BMW 5 Series pairs its power with an 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission and Adaptive Transmission Control, giving you smooth, responsive shifting whether you're cruising through city traffic or stretching out on the highway. The BMW 4 Series Coupe also delivers an engaging ride, with its 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission and Launch Control feature catering to those who enjoy a more dynamic, sport-inspired feel behind the wheel.
Handling varies subtly between the two. The BMW 5 Series leans into comfort with a multi-link aluminum rear suspension and double-wishbone front design, offering balanced stability and a refined ride. Meanwhile, the BMW 4 Series Coupe keeps things tight and responsive with its standard suspension and rear-wheel drive, ideal for those who enjoy hugging the curves.
Smart, Seamless Technology
Technology is a strong suit for both models, designed to keep you connected, informed, and in control. Both vehicles offer BMW’s Remote Services suite, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, remote software upgrades, and a wireless charging pad, making it easy to sync your digital life with your drive.
The BMW 5 Series goes a step further with a Personal eSIM 5G connection (activated), offering enhanced connectivity on the go, and includes a Harman Kardon Premium Sound System for audiophiles craving crystal-clear sound. The BMW 4 Series Coupe keeps things simple and satisfying with a HiFi Sound System and the same intuitive BMW Connected Package Professional you’ll find in the 5 Series.
Whether you're navigating traffic or streaming your favorite playlist, both models ensure your drive is as smart as it is smooth.
Interior Comfort, Designed Around You
Inside the cabin, the 2026 BMW 5 Series leans toward executive elegance. Its perforated Veganza upholstery, Fine Wood Dark Oak trim, and added convenience features like a fully finished trunk and Travel & Comfort System make it ideal for drivers who value thoughtful luxury touches throughout their journey.
The 2026 BMW 4 Series Coupe, on the other hand, balances sport and refinement with its SensaTec seating, open-pore wood trim, and streamlined cockpit design. Its coupe profile offers a more intimate, driver-focused space, perfect for those who prioritize style and performance in equal measure.
Both vehicles come equipped with heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, memory settings, a moonroof, ambient lighting, and the type of small details, like rain-sensing wipers and auto-dimming mirrors, that make every drive feel a little more effortless.
