Forthcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is tipped for 2017 release and will inherit changes made to updated 3 Series saloon last year

Our spy photographers have caught the facelifted BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe testing ahead of its reveal later this year. Subtle changes have been made to the front and rear bumpers as well as differences with the lights both front and back. The tweaks will reflect those made to the BMW 3 Series last year.

The camouflage used on the test car means that few of the changed details can be guaranteed, but the lack of cladding to the bodywork suggests that the corrections will be subtle. At the front we can spot reshaped air intakes, while the updated headlights mirror those on the new 3 Series. From behind the facelifted 4 Series Gran Coupe’s bumper has been slightly revised, while fresh light clusters are also likely to feature.

The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is expected to be revealed later this year, with the first cars arriving in showrooms during the first half of 2017. It’ll rival all-new Audi A5 Sportback, which is set to follow quickly in the footsteps of the recently launched A5 Coupe.

Sources claim that along with this facelift, the 4 Series Gran Coupe may also benefit from the range of engines gifted to the new 3 Series in 2015. That means entry-level cars could get the same three-cylinder 1.5-litre turbo petrol, as well as a plug-in hybrid 430e. All the usual petrol and diesel engines will also feature – though no M4 Gran Coupe is expected in the near future.

Prices will be announced closer the car’s on-sale date, though with the current model costing from £30,260, we don’t expect the new version to cost significantly more.
