Beauty is on the outside and the inside of these dazzling BMW models. Visually, the BMW 4 Series and BMW 5 Series differ in many ways. For starters, the BMW 4 Series is available in a coupe or convertible body style. On the other hand, the BMW 5 Series is available as a sedan. Let's check out their differing interior and exterior measurements.

While the BMW 5 Series is a smidgen bigger than the BMW 4 Series body styles, their interior dimensions are very close. Your passengers will have plenty of wiggle room no matter which BMW you choose.

The compact body of the coupe and convertible allow for sportier performance and handling than the sedan. However, if you're looking to sting like a bee and float like a butterfly, the BMW 4 Series and BMW 5 Series are great options that will have you zooming around every twist and turn.

On the topic of sportier performance, the BMW 4 Series and BMW 5 Series are speed demons not to be messed with. As we previously mentioned, the BMW 4 Series body styles make for a light-as-a-feather boxer combined with a bodybuilder performance.
