BMW 2, 3, 4 Series: New Models, More xDrive Variants For A Busy 2014

BMW has outlined numerous additions to its international 2, 3 and 4 Series line-ups, including seven new diesel variants and one new petrol-powered model, expected to be rolled-out during 2014.

For the 4 Series, a new 425d will be introduced to overseas markets during the Australian autumn, powered by a 2.0 litre four-cylinder diesel engine producing 160kW and available with both manual and eight-speed auto transmissions.

Both the 4 Series Coupe and Convertible will add new all-wheel-drive variants to their line-ups (a first for the Convertible), with the new 430d xDrive Coupe and the 428i xDrive Convertible.
