2018 BMW 4 Series looks only slightly different

BMW chose to keep the 4 Series' aesthetic nearly the same for its 2018 refresh, opting instead to make larger adjustments to its complement of in-car tech.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.
