In-Depth Comparison: 2019 BMW 5 Series vs 2019 BMW 4 Series

Power and Performance

Both the 2019 4 Series and the 2019 5 Series have powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder engines that are sure to amp up your ride. While both offer an incredible 248 standard horsepower, the 5 Series goes a step further with its M Performance TwinPower Turbo V8 with 456 HP. The 2019 4 Series only upgrades as much as 320 HP with its inline 6-cylinder engine. The 2019 5 Series and the 4 Series also excel in weight distribution capabilities, as they are equipped with a near-perfect 50/50 Weight Distribution Technology System, providing a smooth ride for even the most rambunctious of adventurers.

Gas Mileage

Both of these compact vehicles have impressive gas mileage, but the 2019 5 Series is especially efficient. The 5 Series offers a remarkable rating of 36 miles per gallon on the highway in contrast to the 4 Series’ 34 highway rating. Both of these ratings are in the mid-thirties, which puts them in a high caliber of efficiency that will keep you on the road and out of gas stations.

Exterior Build

The 2019 BMW 5 Series and the 2019 4 Series differ most notably in their exterior builds. The 4 Series standard trim is a coupe, while the 5 Series is a compact sedan. While they seat the same number of people, both being 5 passenger vehicles, the 2019 4 Series is a two-door build, and the 2019 5 Series is a four-door. They both offer sporty BMW styling, complete with sleek black grilles, the iconic LED headlights, and signature logo on the hoods.

Interior Technology

Both the 2019 5 Series and the 2019 4 Series embody a new era of in-vehicle technology. Apple CarPlay is available on both models, but the 5 Series goes a step further by offering available WIFI-Hotspot capabilities that ensure that you’re never stuck without a signal. Additionally, they both offer Cruise Control settings available directly from the wheel. An additional feature of the 2019 4 Series is the unique Heads Up Display that allows you to access important performance information right in your line of vision above the wheel.

Safety

The BMW 4 Series and 5 Series come with Standard Electronic Stability Control Technology to keep you on your path. The Lane Departure Warning feature also comes on both models. They both are also equipped with Back-Up Cameras to help you maneuver in tight spaces. The 2019 5 Series has a leg up with its BMW Assist eCall Emergency SOS capabilities to help you receive aid in the event of an accident or breakdown.

The Bottom Line

Both of these compact vehicles are ideal for high-class commuters and offer similar driving experiences. The 5 Series is slightly larger and contains four doors. It would be better suited for someone looking to frequently travel by a full car due to its passenger-loading ease, while the coupe-style of the 4 Series is perfect for people who prefer to roam solo. There is also a fairly substantial price difference of $8,450.
