The 3/15 DA-4 replaced the DA-2 in mid February 1931. While the engine, gearing and chassis were unchanged from the original Dixi, the DA-4 was a step away from the original Austin design, and was the first BMW automobile with independent front suspension, which used the ends of the transverse leaf spring to act as lower control arms. The DA-4 was heavier than the DA-2, and a larger wheel diameter was used to compensate. Its model years run from 1931 to 1932.
