BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 2022 front right tracking

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

from £47,790
The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is surprisingly practical and good fun to drive, although the ride can be a problem on bigger wheels
BMW M4 cornering

BMW M4

from £93,135
The M4 is every bit as visceral to drive as the M3, but lacks the latter’s practicality and lower price.
Mercedes-AMG A45 front cornering

Mercedes-AMG A45
