Toyota Corolla 2016 vs BMW 4 series 2013
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Petrol | 3.0 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Toyota Corolla) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (BMW 4 series) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 125 mm (4.9 inches) | 145 mm (5.7 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. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 420'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a BMW 4 series engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 16 years | 17 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Toyota Avensis, Toyota Auris, Toyota Verso | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including BMW 5 sērija, BMW 3 sērija, BMW 7 sērija, BMW X3, BMW X6 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. BMW 4 series might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
