BMW 428i Performance Overview

BMW’s 428i entered the U.S. market for the 2014 to 2015 model years in this dataset as the early performance baseline of the F32/F33/F36 4 Series family, covered here by 3 verified tests. Across those two model years, every recorded example used the 240-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter N20/N20B20 inline-four and gasoline power, establishing a narrow but consistent window of straight-line performance. The first benchmark came with the 2014 Coupe, which set the quickest recorded launch at 5.3 seconds to 60 mph and ran the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds at 99 mph.

From there, the small sample shows modest variation by body style and drivetrain rather than major mechanical change. The 2014 xDrive Coupe recorded 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, while the 2015 Gran Coupe also reached 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, placing the model’s observed range between 5.3 and 5.5 seconds with a 14.17-second average quarter-mile at 98 mph. Within the broader F32 generation that continued beyond these years, the 428i’s recorded position remains defined by that original rear-drive 2014 Coupe, which still stands as the current-generation best at 5.3 seconds in the available test data.
