2024 BMW 4 Series

Volume 2024 430i Coupe uses BMW's B48 2.0L turbo I4 at 255 hp; the range steps up through the M440i's 48V mild-hybrid B58 inline-six at 382 hp, the S58-powered M4 (473 hp manual), M4 Competition (503 hp RWD / 523 hp xDrive), and the newly launched 2024 M4 CS at 543 hp.

The 2024 430i's B48 delivers 295 lb-ft on a broad ~1,600 rpm plateau; M440i's B58 with 48V mild hybrid raises it to 369 lb-ft, the M4 manual to 406 lb-ft, and M4 Competition/CS peak at 479 lb-ft.

BMW quotes 5.5 s for the pre-LCI 2024 430i RWD Coupe and 5.3 s for xDrive; M440i xDrive drops to 4.3 s, M4 Competition xDrive to 3.4 s, and the new 2024 M4 CS to 3.2 s — competitive at each price step.

The B48 in the 2024 430i is among the smoothest turbo fours in the segment with negligible lag and linear delivery; the M440i's 48V mild-hybrid B58 inline-six is a benchmark for refined performance, and the S58 in the M4 is a hard-edged but throttle-responsive high-strung six.

The ZF 8HP 8-speed Steptronic remains the segment benchmark — crisp, decisive shifts with excellent manual paddle response; the reinforced 8HP in the M4 approaches dual-clutch speed, and the standard 6-speed manual in the base M4 is one of the last remaining true 3-pedal options in a modern sports coupe.

xDrive is a low-cost option on the 430i, standard on the M440i, and standard on the M4 Competition xDrive and the new 2024 M4 CS; the rear-biased multi-plate clutch system integrates with M Traction Control on the M cars. Base M4 manual and M4 Competition RWD remain rear-drive only.

Three distinct engines across the 2024 range — B48 2.0T (430i), B58 3.0T 48V mild-hybrid inline-six (M440i), and S58 3.0T twin-turbo six (M4/Competition/CS) — cover efficiency, mainstream luxury, and full performance. No PHEV or EV variant in the G22 Coupe body (BMW reserves electrification for the separate i4 Gran Coupe), keeping this below the 3 Series which offers the 330e PHEV.

EPA combined for the pre-LCI 2024 430i xDrive Coupe with the non-MHEV B48 2.0L turbo I4. RWD 430i posts 29; the 48V mild-hybrid M440i falls to 25, and the S58-powered M4 Competition xDrive drops to 19.

EPA city rating for the 2024 430i xDrive Coupe with auto stop-start; RWD 430i nudges to 26 city, and the M4 Competition xDrive drops to 16.

EPA highway rating for the 2024 430i xDrive Coupe; RWD posts 34, M440i drops to 30, and M4 Competition xDrive to 23.

Computed from BMW's 15.6-gallon fuel tank and EPA combined 28 MPG for the 2024 430i xDrive. 430i RWD stretches to ~453 mi; the M4 falls to roughly 300 mi in mixed driving.

EPA-published annual fuel cost for the 2024 430i xDrive Coupe at 15,000 mi/yr, 55/45 city/highway split, using premium gasoline pricing. M440i climbs near $2,950 and the M4 Competition xDrive above $3,700.

Every 2024 4 Series Coupe variant — 430i, M440i, and M4/M4 Competition/M4 CS — requires premium unleaded (91 octane or higher) per BMW's owner's manual and window sticker; no regular-fuel option, no flex-fuel, and no home-charging alternative in this body style.

NHTSA has not comprehensively rated the 2024 BMW 4 Series Coupe; estimate is derived from the shared CLAR platform 3 Series sedan, which has earned 5-star NHTSA overall in recent testing.

The G22 4 Series earns Good ratings on legacy IIHS crashworthiness tests (moderate overlap front, small overlap front) but is not on the 2024 IIHS Top Safety Pick list, reflecting the updated side-impact and pedestrian-AEB protocols where results have been Acceptable rather than Good.

BMW Active Driving Assistant is standard on all 2024 4 Series trims — forward collision warning with city collision mitigation/AEB, blind-spot detection, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and park distance control. Full-speed adaptive cruise with stop-and-go and lane centering remain part of the paid Driving Assistance Professional Package, trailing Lexus RC's standard LSS+ and Mercedes CLE's broader standard suite.

BMW's front collision prevention has earned Superior daytime and Advanced/Superior nighttime pedestrian ratings on the shared-platform 3 Series; the 2024 4 Series uses the same camera + radar sensor suite and expected performance carries over, though not separately IIHS-rated for pedestrian AEB.

Blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert are standard across the 2024 4 Series lineup as part of Active Driving Assistant; intervention is alert-only, without active steering correction on the volume 430i trim.

Lane departure warning is standard; active lane keeping and lane centering come with the Driving Assistance Professional Package. When equipped, BMW's centering is well-regarded for smooth tracking with minimal ping-ponging per reviewer testing of the pre-LCI G22.

The optional Driving Assistance Professional Package adds full-speed-range adaptive cruise with stop-and-go and an integrated Highway Assistant; BMW's calibration (smooth braking, quick resume, natural gap-keeping) is among the best in class. Points off because the full system is not standard on the volume 430i.

BMW Highway Assistant enables hands-free driving up to 85 mph on divided US highways with driver eye monitoring, offered on the 2024 4 Series via the Driving Assistance Professional Package. Mapped-road coverage is narrower than GM Super Cruise's ~750k-mile network but the system is mature and available.

The 2024 4 Series (pre-LCI) uses standard LED headlights with automatic high beam; adaptive LED headlights are optional and typically bundled with upper trims. IIHS testing on the pre-LCI 4 Series showed Acceptable on volume-trim headlights, Good only with the adaptive units.

Classic coupe compromise — thick B/C-pillars, low roofline, high beltline, and a small rear window restrict natural sightlines. A standard reversing camera and available 360-degree Parking Assistant Plus help, but reviewers consistently flag rear visibility as a weak point.

The two-door 2+2 configuration forces child-seat installation through a single narrow doorway after tumbling the front seat; LATCH anchors are recessed under upholstery and rear-seat width is limited. Not a practical family carrier.

BMW USA lists the pre-LCI G22 4 Series Coupe (430i/M440i volume trims) for 2024 with a rear bench and 5-passenger seating; the raised transmission tunnel and sloping roof make the center rear position a token spot in practice. M4 with optional M Carbon buckets is 4-seat.

BMW-published front headroom for the G22 4 Series Coupe — unchanged since the G22 launch and identical for 2024; moonroof-equipped cars give up roughly 1.9 in.

BMW-published front legroom for the G22 4 Series Coupe — competitive for a compact luxury coupe and comfortable for taller drivers thanks to the long 112.2-in wheelbase. Unchanged for 2024.

Rear headroom of 36.6 in is mid-pack for the coupe segment — usable for shorter adults on shorter trips and clearly better than the smaller 2 Series (35.0 in), though the fastback roofline still constrains taller passengers.

Rear legroom of 34.0 in is tight but usable — meaningfully better than the 2 Series Coupe's 32.2 in and adequate for adults on short trips behind average-sized front occupants.

BMW USA lists 12.0 cu ft of trunk volume for the G22 4 Series Coupe — smaller than the 2 Series (13.8 cu ft) despite the larger footprint because of the tapered fastback shape, but the standard 40/20/40 folding rear seat with ski passthrough expands the load bay for longer items.

Typical BMW cabin storage: modest covered console, small door bins with bottle holders, front cupholders, and a 40/20/40 folding rear seat with ski passthrough. For 2024, wireless charging is bundled in the Premium Package rather than standard, so base cars have fewer built-in device-management features than the 2025 refresh.

Standard 14-way power sport seats with adjustable side bolsters, thigh extension, and available Vernasca leather earn consistent praise for long-haul support up front; the rear bench is firm but well-shaped for the space and better than most compact coupes at accommodating an adult on shorter drives.

The G22 4 Series rides more compliantly than the smaller 2 Series thanks to its longer wheelbase and more sophisticated damping; base 2024 430i with standard suspension is notably smoother than M Sport-package cars on 19-in wheels, which trade some pliancy for tighter body control.

Standard acoustic windshield, thick body sealing, and refined B48/B58 powertrains keep highway cruising civilized — measurably quieter than the 2 Series and among the more hushed compact luxury coupes at 70 mph. Some tire roar on M Sport rubber remains the primary intrusion.

Standard dual-zone auto climate and heated front seats on all 2024 trims; heated steering wheel and wireless charging bundled in the Premium Package, and ventilated front seats plus heated rear seats optional on M440i and up. Well-equipped for the class but a step behind rivals that make heated wheel/wireless charging standard.

The 2024 430i Coupe RWD (B48 2.0T turbo-4, 255 hp) is the base trim at $49,995 plus $995 destination. This is the fourth model year of the G22 4 Series (2021–2024 pre-LCI) — the mid-cycle refresh with the Curved Display and iDrive 8.5 arrived for the 2025 MY.

The volume build is the 430i xDrive Coupe ($51,995 + $995 destination = $52,990) fitted with the near-mandatory Premium Package (~$2,650: heated seats, keyless entry, moonroof, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto) plus common Convenience/M Sport wheel add-ons — typical transaction lands in the mid-$56K range, well above the coupe segment mainstream.

German luxury coupe economics: dealer labor rates, run-flat tires, synthetic oil intervals, and turbocharged B48/B58 servicing push 5-year maintenance + out-of-warranty repair to the top of the coupe segment band. With no complimentary scheduled maintenance in MY2024 (Ultimate Care was reinstated only for MY2025), owners pay out-of-pocket from day one for oil, brake, and tire service.

BMW mid-size luxury coupes depreciate faster than Japanese luxury peers because heavily-optioned MSRPs don't hold up on the used market and the coupe body style has softer resale than the 3 Series sedan sibling. M440i variants retain 3–5 points better than 430i.

BMW's New Vehicle Limited Warranty is 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Standard among German luxury (matches Audi and Mercedes; trails Genesis/Jaguar 5-yr).

BMW does not publish a separate extended powertrain warranty; the powertrain is covered under the same 4-yr/50k New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Well below the segment band floor of 5 years and dwarfed by Hyundai/Kia/Genesis 10-yr/100k coverage.

BMW dropped its Ultimate Care complimentary scheduled maintenance program starting MY2020 and did not reinstate it until MY2025 — so 2024 4 Series buyers get just 4-yr/unlimited-mile roadside assistance plus a modest BMW ConnectedDrive/eCall trial. Weak vs. peers: Genesis (3 yr / 36k service), Jaguar EliteCare, Volvo, and Cadillac all offer multi-year included maintenance in this window. No included charging/fuel credits (gas-only).

$56,600 volume-trim price minus its estimated resale value after 5 years (46% retained, or about $26,036) leaves about $30,564 in depreciation. Add the projected $9,200 in 5-year maintenance and repairs, and owning this vehicle for 5 years costs about $39,764 in total.

The pre-LCI G22 4 Series is now three years into production for 2024, with Consumer Reports predicted reliability tracking around Average and J.D. Power quality scores for the model in the low-80s. Slightly cleaner outlook than the 2025 LCI because 2024 carries no new iDrive 8.5/curved-display electronics risk — hardware is the well-known B48/B58 + ZF 8HP shared with the 3/2 Series.

BMW sits in the upper-middle of dependability rankings — solid but well behind the Japanese leaders. J.D. Power 2024 VDS places BMW slightly above industry average behind Lexus/Genesis/Toyota, and Consumer Reports 2024 brand reliability ranks BMW around 10th of 34 brands. Best of the German premium set alongside Porsche.

The G22 4 Series has accumulated typical recall activity through 2024 — backup camera image display, seatbelt anchor, occupant classification sensing, and assorted software campaigns — but no systemic powertrain, fire, or braking actions. TSB volume is in line with segment norms for a BMW model.

The 430i's B48 2.0T (post-2019 revision) and the M440i's B58 3.0T inline-six with 48V mild hybrid are among BMW's most durable modern engines — the B58 in particular has an outstanding high-mileage reputation (also chosen by Toyota for the GR Supra) and pairs with the industry-benchmark ZF 8HP automatic.

The 2024 pre-LCI cabin uses SensaTec/leatherette or optional Vernasca leather, aluminum or wood trims, and a split 12.3-inch digital cluster + 10.25-inch center display rather than the 2025's curved single-panel arrangement — competitive materials for the low-$50K luxury coupe class though the tech look-and-feel is a step behind the LCI update and behind the Mercedes CLE Coupe on perceived richness.

Assembly at BMW's Munich plant produces tight, consistent panel gaps and solid door thunk with low rattle rates in early ownership; iDrive 8 in the 2024 car is mature and largely bug-free. Not quite Lexus-level flawless but strong for the class.

Roughly 340 BMW dealers spread across all 50 states provide strong nationwide coverage in metro and suburban markets, thinner in rural areas; luxury service satisfaction sits in the upper-middle of the segment behind Lexus and Cadillac but ahead of Audi and Mercedes in recent surveys, though hourly labor rates are among the industry's highest.

OEM parts are readily available through BMW's US supply chain and the 4 Series has healthy enthusiast aftermarket support (FCP Euro, ECS Tuning, Turner), but out-of-warranty ownership cost is notably above segment average — synthetic oil, run-flat tires, expensive brake service, and dealer-only diagnostics push repair costs well beyond mainstream norms and above the luxury median.

2024 is the final pre-LCI year of the G22 4 Series; it keeps the older 10.25" central Control Display paired with a 12.3" digital instrument cluster. The much larger 14.9" Curved Display did not arrive until the 2025 model year LCI.

iDrive 8 on the pre-LCI 10.25" screen is quick and logically laid out, and the 4 Series retains the physical iDrive rotary controller alongside touch input — a big daily-usability plus that reviewers consistently praise. Menu depth and reliance on the screen for climate presets keep it out of the top tier.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard on every 2024 4 Series Coupe trim (430i, 430i xDrive, M440i xDrive, M4, M4 Competition, M4 CS) with no subscription. Pairing is quick and stable.

BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant ("Hey BMW") handles natural-language commands for climate, nav, and vehicle functions. BMW Maps with cloud-based routing and Real Time Traffic Information is standard; reviewers rate it capable enough to use in place of phone projection.

Standard 10-speaker Hi-Fi audio is adequate; optional Harman Kardon Surround Sound (464W, 16 speakers) bundled in the Premium Package is a meaningful upgrade and typical for the class. No Bowers & Wilkins tier available on the 4 Series.

12.3" fully digital instrument cluster is standard on all 2024 4 Series trims (Live Cockpit Professional). Crisp with multiple drive-mode layouts and integrated map view; not quite as visually integrated as the 2025 Curved Display but still class-competitive.

BMW Remote Software Upgrade delivers periodic OTA updates covering iDrive, maps, and select vehicle functions via the embedded modem or My BMW app. Scope is narrower than Tesla/Rivian whole-vehicle updates but broader than maps-only rivals.

My BMW app covers remote start/climate, lock/unlock, vehicle location, and BMW Digital Key Plus (Ultra Wideband) for compatible iPhone and Android devices. Core ConnectedDrive functions free for the first several years of ownership.

Two front USB-C ports and rear USB-C outlets standard; wireless phone charging tray is bundled in the Premium Package rather than standard. Adequate for the segment; no 120V outlets.

Comfort Access keyless entry with push-button start is standard on M440i/M4 and available on 430i via the Convenience or Premium Package. BMW Digital Key Plus (UWB) is available and rare at this price. Remote start via My BMW app included.

Rear-view camera and Park Distance Control (front and rear sensors) are standard; optional Parking Assistant Plus adds Surround View with 3D visualization and automated parallel/perpendicular parking. Image quality is good if not class-leading.

Full-color HUD projecting speed, nav directions, and driver-assist status is optional via the Premium Package on 430i and included within higher option groups on M440i/M4. Broadly attainable rather than volume-trim standard.

Two-door coupe with LATCH anchors at the outboard rear positions, but loading kids or car seats requires tipping a front seat forward every time. Rear legroom around 34 in is slightly better than the 2 Series but still tight for rear-facing seats, making daily family logistics frustrating.

BMW's Active Driving Assistant (frontal collision warning with city AEB, blind-spot detection, lane-departure warning, active cruise) is standard across the 2024 range, but the 4 Series Coupe is a low-volume body that has not earned a current-generation IIHS Top Safety Pick and NHTSA does not publish a full 5-star crash rating for it.

12 cu-ft trunk and marginally better rear legroom than the 2 Series help, but the sloping coupe roofline compresses rear headroom, there are no rear-seat climate vents on standard trims, and four-up plus luggage is a squeeze for multi-hour trips.

48V mild-hybrid 2.0L turbo-four, ZF 8-speed, standard Active Driving Assistant and well-bolstered sport seats make the pre-LCI 4 Series a low-fatigue daily. The 10.25" iDrive 8 screen (with retained rotary controller) is smooth if smaller than the 2025 Curved Display, and the firm ride on run-flats plus low seating position are minor drawbacks.

2024 430i RWD returns ~28 mpg combined and 430i xDrive ~27 mpg — competitive for a rear/AWD luxury coupe but requiring premium fuel. BMW consumables (run-flat tires, brake service, out-of-warranty maintenance) push per-mile cost above mainstream commuters.

At ~187.9 in long and 72.9 in wide with a ~38.7 ft turning circle, the 4 Series is bigger and less nimble in tight parking than the 2 Series but still manageable in the city; standard rear-view camera plus Park Distance Control and optional Parking Assistant Plus with Surround View help. Coupe C-pillar creates over-shoulder blind spots.

Not rated for towing in the US market, no bed, no published payload, and only a 12 cu-ft trunk. Effectively no meaningful work capability.

Luxury-oriented interior with Sensatec/Vernasca leather trims, carpeted trunk, and no wash-out surfaces. BMW B48/B58 engines are durable in normal service but the car has no fleet reputation for hard-use work.

No cargo-area 120V outlet, no bed tie-downs, no factory trailer hitch, no roof-rack system on the coupe body, and no upfit ecosystem. Essentially zero work-oriented provisions.

Excellent front sport seats, quiet highway cruise, standard Active Driving Assistant with adaptive cruise and lane keep, and a 15.6-gal fuel tank giving ~430-mi highway range make the 4 Series a strong two-up tourer. Coupe roofline limits four-up endurance and rear amenities are thin.

xDrive AWD is available on 430i and standard on M440i and helps with snow and light gravel, but ground clearance of ~5.5 in, run-flat performance tires, no factory roof rack, and no factory hitch make it pavement-bound. Fine as a snow commuter; not a genuine adventure enabler.

12 cu-ft trunk is larger than the 2 Series and the 40/20/40 folding rear with center pass-through helps for skis and long items, but the small coupe aperture, absence of roof rails on the coupe body, and no factory hitch cap bulky-gear flexibility.

The G22 4 Series on BMW's CLAR platform delivers taut body control, near-50/50 weight distribution, and strong grip. Standard RWD or optional xDrive with a rear-biased split, an available Adaptive M Suspension, and stiffer bushings versus the 3 Series sedan give the Coupe a slightly sharper edge; M440i xDrive posts roughly 0.91-0.93 g on the skidpad and the M4 Competition xDrive climbs into the 1.0+ g range on summer rubber.

The 2024 430i and M440i use BMW's current electric power steering with a quick, accurate rack and well-judged weight, but on-center feedback is muted versus the brand's earlier hydraulic systems. The M4's Variable Sport Steering is more communicative in Sport mode though still short of best-in-class feel.

Standard brakes are strong with a firm, linear pedal — G22 M440i xDrive stops from 70 mph in the 155-160 ft range on all-seasons; M4 Competition xDrive with standard M Compound brakes has been measured near 140 ft on summer tires with excellent fade resistance. Optional M Carbon Ceramics are offered on the M4.

BMW's B48 2.0T (430i) and B58 3.0T inline-six with 48V mild-hybrid assist (M440i) paired with the ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic set the class benchmark for drivability: prompt tip-in, minimal turbo lag, imperceptible shifts, and smoother stop/start thanks to the MHEV starter-generator. The M4's S58 is more high-strung but still tractable with excellent throttle response.

The B58 inline-six sings with a rich, cultured tone under load and the B48 turbo-four is well isolated at cruise; the M4's S58 produces a harder, more mechanical note that some reviewers find less charismatic than the outgoing S55. Cabin sound is partly synthesized in Sport modes but background NVH is well controlled.

BMW USA specification sheet for the G22 4 Series Coupe lists a curb-to-curb turning diameter of approximately 38.7 ft on the 430i/M440i — competitive for a compact luxury coupe despite the long 112.2 in wheelbase. M4 variants with wider front tires and different steering geometry are marginally larger.

Low, sporty seating with wide seat/wheel adjustment range and supportive standard sport seats; controls are logically placed and the standard rotary iDrive controller remains a strength. Rear over-shoulder visibility is compromised by the coupe roofline and thick C-pillars, and iDrive 8 shifts more climate/audio functions to touchscreen submenus versus the previous system.

Rear-drive-biased chassis, strong balance, an eager B58 six in the M440i and the properly quick M4/M4 Competition/new-for-2024 M4 CS make this one of the most engaging cars in its price bracket. Enthusiast press consistently recommends the M440i as a real driver's car and the M4 CS earned universal praise at launch, though the polarizing grille and slightly larger footprint versus the 2 Series cost a small amount of the classic 'small BMW' character.

2024 is the final pre-LCI year of the G22: 430i standard content includes a 12.3-inch digital cluster and 10.25-inch central touchscreen running iDrive 8 (not the LCI's Curved Display / iDrive 8.5), wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, LED headlights, SensaTec 8-way power sport seats, dual-zone climate, and the Active Driving Assistant ADAS bundle. Solid at ~$49k RWD, but heated front seats, moonroof, keyless entry and Harman Kardon audio still sit in the Premium / Convenience packages — competitive rather than generous versus a Lexus RC or the all-new 2024 Mercedes CLE 300.

The 2024 M440i xDrive delivers 382 hp from the B58 3.0 turbo I6 with 48V mild-hybrid, AWD, adaptive M suspension and M Sport differential for about $59.6k — one of the best performance-per-dollar plays in the luxury coupe segment against the new Mercedes CLE 450 (~$65k) and Lexus RC 350 F Sport. The 430i at ~$49k trades some cabin content for signature BMW chassis balance; bang-for-buck edges the fresh CLE and clearly beats the aging RC 300, though it lags the smaller M240i on pure dollars-per-hp.

2024 US coupe lineup covers 430i (RWD), 430i xDrive, and M440i xDrive, with the separate M4 / M4 Competition / M4 CS as the halo, plus 4 Series Gran Coupe and Convertible siblings widening the family. No manual gearbox on the volume trims and the M440i is xDrive-only in the US — reasonable breadth for a luxury coupe but narrower than the 3 Series sedan ladder.

The 4 Series remained the best-selling two-door in BMW USA's 2024 lineup and one of the top-selling luxury coupes in the country, outselling the 2 Series and 8 Series and gaining share as Audi withdrew the A5 Coupe from the US. Overall coupe segment volume continues to shrink as buyers migrate to SUVs, so absolute numbers are modest — steady mid-to-upper-pack seller in a contracting class.

BMW consistently ranks among the top-tier luxury brands with strong enthusiast credibility via the M sub-brand, and the 4 Series inherits the M4 halo directly. The polarizing large vertical kidney grille introduced with the G22 generation remains the most-cited critique of the model's image; still, brand pull on the 4 Series badge is well above the segment median.

As the final pre-LCI model year of the G22, 2024 4 Series inventory transacted better than a first-year fresh car once the MY2025 LCI was announced in mid-2024: BMW Financial Services ran subsidized lease and low-APR programs on the 430i and M440i most months, loyalty/college-grad/Corporate Fleet Program cash typically stacked, and dealer discount widened to mid-single-digit percent as MY2025s arrived. Better buyer economics than the fresh CLE or a Porsche, but still short of mainstream-rebate territory.

MY2024 is the final year of the pre-LCI G22 generation (launched MY2021 in the US), so it is four model years into the cycle and BMW confirmed the LCI refresh — new Curved Display, iDrive 8.5, revised styling — for MY2025 during 2024. Buyers face clear replacement risk: the cabin tech and front-end styling become one-year-old the moment a MY2025 LCI arrives at the dealer next door.

2024 reviews continue to praise the M440i xDrive's chassis, steering, and B58 straight-six drivetrain and the 430i's balance, but flag the pre-LCI 10.25" central screen and iDrive 8 layout as showing their age against the freshly launched Mercedes CLE. Grille styling and the CLE keep the non-M car out of Car and Driver 10Best, but frequent Editor's Choice mentions and strong U.S. News and Edmunds rankings place it in the upper tier of luxury coupes.
