2018 BMW 4 series LCI

BMW has released the pricing and ordering guides for the 2018 BMW 4 Series LCI Coupe, Convertible and Gran Coupe as well as a comprehensive list of updates that come with the mid-lifecycle update (LCI). Use information, pricing and ordering guides to help you build your 4 Series BMW and to calculate invoice pricing.

The MY2018 4 Series receives a Lifecycle Impulse (LCI) facelift as of March 2017 production. In addition to enhancements made at the factory to strengthen the visual and perceived quality inside and out, the equipment offering has changed. A packaging strategy has bee implemented with a tiered structure, and appropriate pricing levels. The 2018 4 Series now feature the following standard equipment:
  • 3AG Rearview Camera
  • 6AK ConnectedDrive Services

The newly created ZL0 Essentials Package will also be included at no charge for the MY2018 4 Series:
  • 322 Comfort Access keyless entry for 430i models (as this is currently standard on 440i models)
  • 508 Park Distance Control for both 430i and 440i models
  • 655 SiriusXM Satellite Radio with 1 year AllAccess Subscription for 430i models (as this is currently standard on 440i models)

The objective of these changes is to:
  • Address market competitiveness
  • Improve residual value
  • Structured and differentiated vehicles
  • Create vehicles that addresses the need for a dealership advertised payment
  • Premium package that fulfills typically equipped specifications
  • Provide the 4 Series with visual differentiation depending on packaging: M Sport or Luxury
  • Packages for a fully equipped vehicle

LCI Changes: Exterior
  • New Front bumper design: more width to the air intakes, which express a broader stance
  • Air intakes in high-gloss black (chrome for Luxury Package)
  • New standard Bi-LED headlight design with LED daytime running lights and LED fog lights
  • New optional Adaptive LED headlight design: Icon light with hexagonal outline

  • Upgrade to the 430i Sport Leather Steering wheel: the leather on the outer rim features a modified lining, giving the steering wheel a softer touch and better grip
  • New optional trim: Aluminum Carbon with Pearl Chrome highlight (4MN)
  • Double-stitched seam on the instrument panel, which accentuates the interior's driver-focused geometry

Thank you Tim, the info. you sent out yesterday on the 18 4 series is a big help. I'm interested in the vert. and have to digest all of the ins and outs of your info. Yes, BMW has lowered the price of the metallic paint but they more than make up for it in forcing you to buy certain packages when you want a particular option:thumbdwn:. So, you really have to digest all of your info. and read the notes carefully to see what is in and what is out. Thanks again.

Regards,
Joe:)

Can't wait for the configurator to be updated and those RVs published. Need to get an order in in the next 30-40 days!

I've been eagerly awaiting this as I am planning to order a 440i xDrive Convertible.
I don't see a Cold Weather package (Heated Seats, Heated Steering Wheel, Neck heater). At least the options are there. Also missing are the Black Kidney Grilles and the M Performance Power and Sound package.
The online configurator looks to be 2017 still as well - but updated.

Fun to see this stuff as it comes out!

Anyone know, please, whether the Snapper Rocks Blue will be available on the 420 SE Gran Coupe, or only on the M Sport?
I don't think that we have the 420 SE Gran Coupe in the States. According to Tim's new info., the models we have are the 430i & X and the 440i and X in Coupes, Grand Coupes and of course the convertible. Snapper Rocks Blue is available for all of them including the ZMP package. It's one hell of a color! Estorial Blue is still only available with the ZMP package. Hope this helps!:angel:

Is there some way to see a picture of the new 2018 interior trims? The configurator tool on bmwusa.com as of today is still the 2017 version, so it doesn't show the 2018 trims. In the 2018 4 series, there is a new trim called "Aluminum Dark Carbon with Pearl Gloss Chrome highlight", which doesn't exist in the 2017 version. Also, the 2017 trim called "Brushed Aluminum trim with Black high-gloss accent" appears to be gone in 2018, as it is not listed in the 2018 ordering guide. Is there any website that shows the 2018 trims so that we can see them before ordering? Thanks.

Am I reading correctly that, on a 430i, you now can't order H/K sound unless you get the Luxury Package? I'm not sure I'm following what the little "x"s signify. Seems really weird to not let you get M Sport + H/K….
You didnt see which model but I'm reading the GC guide....

The x means it is available for the above price. It does say that ZL1 is required which is the premium package. The luxury package includes the HK but so long as you get the premium package you can add on the HK for $875

I just visited the BMWUSA website and it is still not showing the 440i grand coupe with the new midnight blue leather and the picture is still showing the old spedo/tach look. We are almost at the end of March, when do they plan to add this to the build it now? It doesn't make any sense. If ordering went live March 1, why is the website not reflecting LCI ordering specs?

Hi TIm,

I appreciate all the info. that you have provided on the 2018 4 series convertible. Because of you I have been able to do a complete estimate of what I want in the 18 vert. with the colors and options I want. I now have another thought. Have you heard when BMW is going to do a complete restyling of the 4 series and if that new revision will include the hard top for the convertible rather than the soft top. I want the hard top feature on the convertible rather than the soft top. I really don't want to buy an 18 and then have it restyled shortly thereafter dating my 18 model. I'll wait for the restyling to come out if they will still have the hard top convertible option available. Otherwise, I'll buy the 2018 model. As always, I appreciate your knowledge and input and hope that you will have this info. also. Thanks.

Joe

That's a hell of a combination! You're going to love it and driving it in Germany. Good luck with it.

Tim, I've been told that the pricing guide and configuration guide have both been revised. Apparently, I was the only person in the universe who had any interest in Nutmeg Extended Merino, and it's been dropped. I'm hoping that Black Extended Merino has taken its place, as Black is available in other markets. Any chance you could post the updated guides? Just in case there are any other changes? Thanks!

I checked out the configurator it works.

I noticed on the 440 with the sport and track handling packages you now are stuck with 18 rims, where the old configurator you got (must have) 19's.

I'm ok with 18's but it goes 180 out of the track handling package from last month, and you only have a choice of the 1 wheel. This is a bummer for me as I really liked the style of the 19 wheels.

Anyone have any insight as to why this is?

The configurator has errors all over the place. 430i GC: select Lux Pack - Exec pack checks itself (uncheck Lux - Exec unchecks itself). Check Premium Pack - M checks itself. The config seems to loath red, as its selection completely unchecks any options than bare bones. Still some work to be done. BTW, M-pack may be limited to fewer colors that the guide suggests , e.g. Red. BTW, red cannon be checked for either M- or even Lux.

When would we see the LCI 440i grand coupe' on dealer lots? It went into production March 1, so dealers would start getting these on lots the first week of May?

Also why is the build it now on BMWUSA.com still not showing the LCI for the 440i Grand Coupe', I still don't see any option for Midnight Blue Leather option. Here we are April 1 (1 month after production) and the website is still not updated. Wow.
