The first generation of the [[Engineering:BMW 4 Series|BMW 4 Series]] consists of the '''BMW F32''' (coupé version), '''BMW F33''' (convertible version) and '''BMW F36''' (four-door coupé version, marketed as 'Gran Coupé') compact executive cars. The F32/F33/F36 has been produced since 2014 and is often collectively referred to as the F32.

The F32 was introduced as the successor to the [[Engineering:BMW 3 Series (E90)#Coupé (E92)|E92/E93]] coupé/convertible models of the fifth-generation 3 Series range. The F32 is produced alongside - and shares many features with - the [[Engineering:BMW 3 Series (F30)|F30 3 Series]]. As with the F30 3 Series range, the F32/F33/F36 is powered by turbocharged petrol and diesel engines with 3 cylinders (petrol only), 4 cylinders, and 6 cylinders.

The high performance [[Engineering:BMW M4|F82/F83 M4]] models were introduced in early 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0159784EN/the-new-bmw-m3-sedan-and-new-bmw-m4-coupe|title=The new BMW M3 Sedan and new BMW M4 Coupe.|website=www.press.bmwgroup.com|language=en|access-date=2018-04-22}}</ref> They are powered by the S55 turbocharged straight-six engine.
