BMW Asia and Performance Motors announced the availability of the new BMW 420i Coupe Sport. The new model is powered by a 184 hp 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and comes equipped with an 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission, sharper styling as well as a revised suspension.
Endowed with a notably wider stance and longer wheelbase than its predecessor, the body of the BMW 420i Coupe Sport has a low-slung silhouette with sporty, elongated lines. Sporting the brand’s trademark short overhangs, a long bonnet and a passenger compartment set well back and crowned by a beautifully flowing roof line, the BMW 420i Coupe Sport boasts a perfectly composed design language, while still offering high levels of everyday practicality.
Twin headlights help ensure the front end of the BMW 420i Coupe Sport sticks to the traditional BMW template. The BMW 420i Coupe Sport is now equipped with new bi-LED headlights as standard. The headlights are composed of a familiar silhouette: flat-bottomed headlight tubes encircled by daytime running light rings and a dynamic cropped look produced by the characteristic “eyebrow†design. The tubes’ dark-coloured holders give the interior of the headlight assemblies a clear, cool look with winsome technical appeal. LED front foglamps also form part of standard specification.
The rear of the BMW 420i Coupe Sport has a low, sporty look that follows the lead of the front-end styling. The bold horizontal lines and elongated design of the rear light clusters help to make the muscular wheel arches stand out. The new rear apron further accentuates the general impression of power.
The redesigned rear lights give the new BMW 420i Coupe Sport a fresh and technically sophisticated appearance from the rear. The characteristic L-shaped styling theme for the lights has been retained but in a reinterpreted form. The full-LED lights are no longer divided into individual light strips, with a sweeping curve in the outer section of the light assemblies giving them a perfectly homogenous look. The indicators now take up a larger area of the lights, with the inner section of each rear light also being used for the indicator function for the first time. The indicators therefore emphasise the impression of width at the rear for an even sportier feel.
Moving inside, the new electroplated detailing, chrome applications and centre console in high-gloss black reinforce the exclusive, high-quality feel. Another visual highlight is the double stitching on the instrument panel, while three new upholstery colours together with three new interior trim strips provide even greater choice when it comes to personalising the interior’s design.
The new BMW 420i Coupe Sport now comes with a stiffer suspension set-up delivering even sportier handling without any loss of ride comfort. Both the lateral and longitudinal dynamics have been improved, regardless of the load on board. The new BMW 420i Sport now boasts even more assured straight-line stability and more communicative steering.
The Navigation system Professional for the new BMW 420i Coupe Sport now features an interface with large tile-style control pads that is even easier to use. The control pads can be arranged as desired and display a constantly updated version of the linked menu content, making operation even more intuitive for users. The BMW 420i Coupe Sport is also fitted with the Multifunctional Instrument Display, giving the driver the choice of different visualisation options for all displays depending on the driving experience mode selected.
Connectivity between drivers, their cars and the outside world is becoming more and more advanced. The launch of BMW Connected in March 2016 saw BMW introduce an all-encompassing digital concept that provides a seamless support tool covering all aspects of personal mobility. Designed as a digital assistant in the form of an app, BMW Connected combines all the functions covering day-to-day mobility requirements. BMW Connected can be used in BMW models with ConnectedDrive Services specified. This feature comes as standard on the new BMW 420i Coupe Sport.
The new BMW 420i Coupe Sport sees the addition of two new exterior paint options – Snapper Rocks Blue and Sunset Orange. The car is now available for viewing at Performance Motors’ showroom.
