| Diesel (BMW 4 series) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (BMW 2 series) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

| Ground clearance: | 145 mm (5.7 inches) | 130 mm (5.1 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, BMW 4 series can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this BMW 4 series version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions.
