Starting from Inverness, Scotland, we take it to Edinburgh to examine practicality, then we head sight-seeing in York and Liverpool before finally arriving in London.<br /><br />The car we've tested is a 4 Series 420d SE - so it's an entry-level, entry-spec diesel model. Although, BMW did throw in a few cheeky extras such as 18-inch alloys. The 4 Series has a 445-litre boot, but it still passed our practicality test with flying colours - we packed various weekend bags into the boot, and in the cabin, as you'll see in the video review.<br /><br />On the journey, we were impressed with the driving dynamics of the BMW 4 Series. The steering is light but feels quite accurate, while the precise six-speed manual gearbox slots into place whenever you want it to. Even though the BMW 4 Series is a lot wider and a fair bit longer than the BMW 3 Series, it's hard to notice the extra size on the road.<br /><br />The 4 Series is really comfortable to drive over long distances, the only fly in the ointment, though, is that at higher speeds you do get a bit of road and wind noise particularly on rougher roads. The 18-inch wheels and unique body really do make it look bulkier and leaner than the old 3 Series Coupe, but does it justify the new name plate? <br /><br />THe BMW 4 Series might have a few faults, and we're not convinced that it needed to be called the 4 Series rather than a 3 Series Coupe. Overall, though, it's an incredible new car, and it'll take a lot to knock the BMW 4 Series off its podium at the top of the class.
