Order a new 4 Series or pick a certified one at BMW of Arlington

A new 4 Series is the right choice when you want to specify the car. At BMW of Arlington, you can reserve an incoming new vehicle from the inventory listing, or place a custom factory order. We sell new BMW, and the 4 Series is one of the models on that list.

A certified car is the route to a car that already exists. Our pre-owned inventory includes certified pre-owned 4 Series that you can browse and choose from. The certified program adds a vehicle inspection and a limited warranty on top of the car itself.

How much does a new 4 Series cost next to a certified one?

A new 4 Series starts at the MSRP BMW publishes for each trim. According to BMW’s published 2026 specifications, the 430i Gran Coupe starts at $51,200, the 430i Coupe at $53,300 and the M440i Gran Coupe at $65,100. A certified car is priced at the asking price on its listing, and its first owner has already taken the steepest part of the depreciation.

That first hit matters more than most buyers expect. iSeeCars’ 2026 5-Year Depreciation Study found average five-year depreciation improved to 41.8% (iSeeCars, 2026). Luxury models make up 18 of the 25 fastest-depreciating vehicles in the same study (iSeeCars, 2026). When you buy certified, the previous owner takes the first depreciation hit. When you buy new, you take it.

Texas sales tax applies to either route, so compare the out-the-door figure on both.

What warranty covers a new 4 Series, and what covers a certified one?

A new 4 Series carries the maker’s new-vehicle warranty. BMW’s published figure for the 2026 4 Series is a 4-year/50,000-mile BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty.

A certified car carries the certified program’s terms. To earn BMW Certified status, a vehicle must be 5 years old or newer, with more than 300 miles but less than 60,000 miles on the odometer. Every BMW Certified vehicle is then backed by the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Protection Plan, which covers one year with unlimited miles after the original BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty expires (BMW of North America, 2026).

So a new car is covered by the full new-vehicle warranty from the start. A certified car has a limited plan that picks up once the original warranty ends.

What sets the BMW 430i and M440i apart at BMW of Arlington?

The M440i is the performance choice in the 4 Series. BMW’s published 2026 figures show 386 horsepower in the M440i Gran Coupe and M440i Coupe, against 255 horsepower in the 430i. The M440i Gran Coupe also makes 398 lb-ft of torque, compared with 295 lb-ft for the 430i Gran Coupe.

The EPA’s certified fuel economy figures for the 2026 4 Series, by version:

Choose the 430i if you want the 4 Series at the lower starting price. Choose the M440i if engine output is the priority. We sell new BMW, including the 4 Series, and our site links the 4 Series coupe, sedan and convertible pages.

What do new and certified 4 Series cost and cover at BMW of Arlington?

A new 4 Series is priced at the maker’s MSRP and covered by the new-vehicle warranty. A certified one is priced at its listing and covered by the certified program.

A new car is bought by reserving an incoming vehicle from the inventory listing or by placing a custom factory order. A certified car is bought from our pre-owned inventory at its asking price.

Who should skip a new 4 Series, and who should skip a certified one?

Skip a certified 4 Series if you want to choose the exact build. Factory orders are for new cars, and the certified cars in our pre-owned inventory are already built.

Skip a new 4 Series if you would rather choose from cars already in our pre-owned inventory. A buyer who wants a specific build has the factory order route. A buyer who wants a car that is already here has the certified route.

Can you finance or lease a 4 Series at BMW of Arlington?

Yes. BMW of Arlington handles BMW leases, new BMW financing and pre-owned car loans alike. A new 4 Series can be leased or financed, and a certified one can be paid for with a pre-owned car loan.

Financing is the norm for new cars. More than 80 percent of new car buyers financed their purchases in Q3 2025, compared with roughly 35 percent of used car buyers (Experian, 2025). Lease or loan, the terms are set on the specific car you choose, so compare them on that car.

FAQ

Can you trade in your car toward a 4 Series at BMW of Arlington?

Yes. Our online trade-in tool takes a license plate, a VIN, or a make and model, and it returns a price for your car. Trade-in customers can visit with or without an appointment.

Can you reserve a new 4 Series that has not arrived yet?

Yes. You can reserve an incoming vehicle from the inventory listing, or place a custom factory order for a new 4 Series. Use the reserve route when a car is already on its way, and the factory order when you want to specify the build.

What Texas sales tax and fees apply when you buy a new or certified car?

For a car bought in Texas, the motor vehicle sales tax rate is 6.25 percent, applied to the sales price after any trade-in allowance is subtracted (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). The Comptroller’s own example, a $42,000 vehicle with a $15,000 trade-in, shows the trade-in reducing the amount the tax is figured on. A standard registration fee for a passenger vehicle or truck of 6,000 pounds or less is $50.75 a year, plus applicable local county fees (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2025).

What should you ask a dealer before buying a used or certified 4 Series?

Ask for availability and the out-the-door price directly, because a price on a third-party listing may not match it. Check the listing for a clean title and no reported accidents. Both checks take a few minutes before you visit.
