The 4 Series Gran Coupe’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers.

The 4 Series Gran Coupe’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver.
The 4 Series Gran Coupe offers optional heated front and rear seats, which keep the driver and passengers extremely comfortable in the winter.
On extremely cold winter days, the 4 Series Gran Coupe’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up.

To direct the driver from any location to a given street address with audible turn-by-turn directions, a GPS navigation system is standard on the 4 Series Gran Coupe. The 4 Series Gran Coupe’s navigation system also has a real-time traffic update feature that offers alternative routes to automatically bypass traffic problems. (Service not available in all areas.)
With standard voice command, the 4 Series Gran Coupe offers the driver hands free control of the radio and the navigation computer by simply speaking.
