Which BMW 4 Series trim fits Norwood buyers?
The 430i xDrive fits most Norwood buyers: it sends power to all four wheels for Massachusetts winters. The M440i xDrive fits the buyer who wants the extra power of the inline-six and still wants all-wheel drive.
BMW of Norwood sells both trims on Providence Highway, so you can compare them in one visit. You can book a test drive online for any new car in inventory, so you can drive both before you choose.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Norwood. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
BMW 430i xDrive fits most Norwood buyers; M440i xDrive suits power seekers
The 430i xDrive Gran Coupe starts at $53,200 with 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications. The M440i xDrive Gran Coupe starts at $67,100 with 386 hp and 398 lb-ft. Those two lines frame most of the decision.
BMW of Norwood lists the 4 Series among the new BMW models it sells.
If your drive is mostly local roads and you want all-wheel grip at a lower price, the 430i xDrive is the trim to start with. If the extra power matters to you on the drive home, test the M440i xDrive first.
Why xDrive suits a 4 Series driven around Norwood in winter
xDrive sends power to all four wheels, which gives more grip on local roads like Route 1 and I-95 during winter storms. That grip matters most on slush and ice days.
xDrive is the all-wheel drive system fitted to both trims, the 430i xDrive and the M440i xDrive.
Winter grip is easier to judge on a drive than on a spec sheet. Put the 430i xDrive and the M440i xDrive on the same local route before you decide.
How much more power does the M440i xDrive have than the 430i xDrive?
The M440i xDrive makes 386 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. The 430i xDrive makes 255 hp and 295 lb-ft, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications.
The gap comes from the engine. The 430i xDrive uses a four-cylinder, and the M440i xDrive uses a six-cylinder (EPA, 2026). The Coupe and Gran Coupe carry the same power figures in each family.
The extra power is what the M440i xDrive offers. A buyer after the six-cylinder’s pull will find it here, while all-wheel grip at a lower starting price is better served by the four-cylinder.
What does a 430i xDrive cost compared with an M440i xDrive?
According to BMW’s published 2026 specifications, the 430i xDrive Gran Coupe starts at $53,200, while the M440i xDrive version costs $67,100. The Coupes sit higher, at $55,300 for the 430i xDrive and $69,100 for the M440i xDrive.
The Convertibles cost more again. The 430i xDrive Convertible starts at $63,300, and the M440i xDrive version is priced at $77,200.
Price is where the financing conversation starts. BMW of Norwood offers new BMW financing and BMW leases, and we offer a secure online finance application. Approval for financing and leases runs through BMW Financial Services and depends on Tier 1 credit.
What do you get with the 4 Series Coupe, Gran Coupe and Convertible?
The Gran Coupe seats five, while the Coupe and Convertible seat four, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications. The Gran Coupe also has the longer wheelbase, at 112.4 inches, against 112.2 inches for the Coupe and Convertible.
Seating is the main difference among the body styles. The 430i Gran Coupe, the 430i xDrive Gran Coupe, the M440i Gran Coupe and the M440i xDrive Gran Coupe all seat five.
The Convertible drops the roof and keeps four seats. It suits a driver who wants open-air driving with no more than four people aboard.
What do Norwood buyers get for the money with each 4 Series trim?
Each xDrive trim pairs one starting price with one power output and one combined fuel rating. EPA’s 2026 certification records give the combined figure for each trim (EPA, 2026).
| Trim | Starting MSRP (USD) | Horsepower (hp) | EPA combined MPG |
|---|---|---|---|
| 430i xDrive Gran Coupe | $53,200 | 255 | 29 |
| 430i xDrive Coupe | $55,300 | 255 | 30 |
| 430i xDrive Convertible | $63,300 | 255 | 28 |
| M440i xDrive Gran Coupe | $67,100 | 386 | 27 |
| M440i xDrive Coupe | $69,100 | 386 | 29 |
| M440i xDrive Convertible | $77,200 | 386 | 28 |
Across the Gran Coupe pair, the 430i xDrive offers 255 hp at $53,200, and the M440i xDrive offers 386 hp at $67,100.
When is the 430i xDrive or the M440i xDrive the wrong 4 Series?
A 430i xDrive or M440i xDrive is the wrong pick if you need five seats and are looking at a Coupe or Convertible, since those seat four.
Choose the Gran Coupe when a fifth seat matters. The 430i xDrive Gran Coupe and the M440i xDrive Gran Coupe both seat five, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications.
If a budget does not reach $67,100, the 430i xDrive is the xDrive trim to choose. The 430i xDrive Gran Coupe starts at $53,200.
If you want an open top with xDrive, the 430i xDrive Convertible starts at $63,300 and is rated 28 mpg combined by the EPA. The M440i xDrive Convertible is priced at $77,200 and carries the same 28 mpg combined rating.
