What's New in the 2022 BMW 428i?
A sportier look is now standard because the formerly optional Sport Line package (including 18-inch alloy wheels) has become part of the deal. A Track Handling package joins the options list. And the 435i adds keyless entry/ignition, plus a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, to its standard features. See the 2016 BMW 4 Series models for sale near you
Which 428i is the Best?
We recommend that you test drive both engines. The 428i isn't that far off the 435i in performance terms, so it might be a better idea to spend that extra money on other equipment such as the self-parking feature and/or all-wheel drive. Find a BMW 4 Series for sale
How Much Does a 2022 BMW 428i Cost?
The base 428i ($42,845) comes standard with 18-in wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, fog lights, a sunroof (coupe only), auto stop/start (a fuel-saving feature that can be disabled), auto-dimming mirrors, Driving Dynamics Control (offering three settings for throttle sensitivity and steering effort), 10-way power adjustable sport front seats with driver memory functions, leatherette upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth, iPod/USB connectivity and the iDrive infotainment system with a 6.5-in screen.
The main appeal of the 435i ($49,145) is the powerful inline 6-cylinder engine, but it also has keyless entry/ignition, hands-free trunk opening and an upgrade to the Harman Kardon audio system.
The 428i Convertible ($50,995) and 435i Convertible ($57,945) feature a power-retractable hardtop and optional neck-warming air vents.
A Luxury package brings nonsport seats as a no-cost option. The M Sport package adds special exterior trim, a body kit, a sport suspension, an M steering wheel and M badging inside and out. A new Track Handling package has an adaptive M-tuned suspension, variable-ratio sport steering and special-design 18-in alloy wheels.
In typical BMW fashion, the options list is lengthy and tends to get expensive. The Premium package adds power front lumbar support, while the Cold Weather package brings a heated steering wheel and heated front seats. Additional options include an adaptive sport suspension, M Sport brakes, leather upholstery, dynamic cruise control, a self-parking system (parallel and perpendicular spaces), side- and top-view parking cameras and Harman Kardon audio.
A Technology package contributes a crisper 8.8-in infotainment screen, a navigation system, an upgraded iDrive controller with a touchpad and a head-up display. All models are compatible with BMW Apps, which uses an owner's smartphone to bring social media into the car.
BMW claims a generous 15.7 cu ft. of trunk space in the coupe, which is remarkable given the car's relatively modest dimensions. The convertible impresses at 13 cu ft. with the top up, but when it's dropped, cargo space is reduced to 7.8 cu ft.; all that folded metal has to go somewhere.
