Used BMW 428
Produced between 2013 and 2016, the BMW 428 – officially badged as the 428i – sits within the 4 Series range, bridging the gap between the efficient 420 and the punchier 435. Built on the foundations of the 3 Series Coupe, it’s praised for its responsive turbocharged engines, agile handling and long-distance comfort. Rear seats accommodate adults, and the boot’s size is impressive for a coupe. It goes head-to-head with rivals like the Audi A5 and Mercedes C-Class Coupe, but stands out for rear-wheel drive dynamics and driver engagement. The BMW 428i packs a 2.0‑litre turbo‑charged four-cylinder engine, balancing performance with sensible running costs. M Sport trims add sharper suspension and styling, while SE focuses on a more laid-back ride. Even entry-level trims include essentials like sat-nav, Bluetooth, dual-zone climate and part‑leather seats.
