Closing a frameless door by pushing the window... if that were my car, I'd have told her off ;)
this type of tailgate seems so logical to me. we use a 2014 skoda octavia which has same type of tailgate. i dont see why more sedans have it.
2:20 Dat tablet tho
Like the interior of this car! As a whole, I tend to like this one a bit more then most modernay BMW's. It somehow has a bit more of the flair the models of the 70s and 80s all had, the golden years of BMW
Seeing that iPad ruined the video for me, I was thinking " they know their shit", now i notice every time she looks at the iPad...
Beautiful car... and i have just realised that she uses an iPad to remember all the facts and figures. In this video the iPad is behind the steering wheel, you can see it at 2:17.
best looking bmw for now in my opinion
She's clear, concise and organized. Great speaking voice and touches on all the pertinent points. I'm glad she does address the price disadvantage because for a "very similar" 3 Series.....ahem.....I don't know if I'd spend the extra money for this 4-Series...
+Sam Adrien very true. For the same money you can go for the 3 series GT which is more spacious, practical and comfortable.
+Mircea Dogaru not to mention Uglier! the GT is some Frankenstein stuff man, the Gran Coupe is elegant!
Oh look, another fantastic, totally up to date, special and unique interior from BMW.
2:19 Does the iPad comes as standard on the 4-series gran coupe ;)
The reading off the iPad on the dash is a little distracting to be honest, Maybe learn what you want to say before you start filming.
The car looks so much better in person.
Ok, this might be quite long.....
I am a lifelong BMW enthusiast but right now I HATE almost every one of the cars that thay make. In the past few years BMW has lost all conception of what being an exclusive brand is. All they car about now is getting as many people as possible to buy their cars. In the past BMWs were what mad you work those few extra hours to afford one.
The new models is just way too much. In the early 2000s, they had a nice range of cars:
3-Series Saloon
3-Series Touring
3-Series Coupe
3-Series Convertible
5-Series Saloon
5-Series Touring
7-Series Saloon
Z3/4
X5
These are all the cars anyone could ever need.
But now:
1-Series 3-door
1-Series 5-door
2-Series Coupe
2-Series Convertible
2-Series Active Tourer
3-Series Saloon
3-Series Touring
3-Series Gran Tourismo
4-Series Coupe
4-Series Convertible
4-Series Gran Coupe
5-Series Saloon
5-Series Touring
5-Series Gran Tourismo
6-Series Coupe
6-Series Convertible
6-Series Gran Coupe
7-Series Saloon
X1
X3
X4
X5
X6
Z4
WHO THE HELL NEEDS ALL THESE CARS???
The 2-Series Active Tourer is another argument as well. Would you call a 1.5L FRONT WHEEL DRIVE a BMW because I sure wouldn't. This car is just BMW's way of saying we dont care about exclusivity anymore we just want to really maximize every cent of possible profit.
No naturally aspirated engines is also a joke. So much for The Ultimate Driving Machine. All a real driver wants is a big naturally aspirated engine up front, a six-speed box in the middle and all power going to the rear. "Turbochargers are for people who cant build engines" - Mr. Cosworth. "Forced induction is a way of cheating on horse power" - BMW!!!!!!!!!
New M cars have also lost their edge. When have you ever heard of an Eco-friendly M car? BMW seems to think they should be. Why cant, even if every other one of their cars were diesel yokes, the M Cars be fire-breathing V8s and V10s? (Sorry if I sounded like Clarkson there!)
The 'E' numbers have also got out of hand. It was great when the E46 covered all of the 3-Series'. Now there is F30-F31-F32-F33-F80-F82, i mean does the M3 really need a whole new number, so far away from the normal 3? And the next 5-Series will be the G30. That means that 120 numbers were skipped instead of 5 from the E34 to the E39.
I really hope somebody has made it this far!! That's my rant over now, leave me alone with my E39 and I'll be happy!!!
I do agree. However I do love my M235i!
There's the i3 and i8 too.
6-Series was launched in 1976 by the way.
Glad I am not the only one who thinks this way.
As long BMW & PORSCHE are alive im a happy man on earth to live but 5 series GT and 2 series AT seriously pisses me off to the max i could almost forgive them for the 5 series GT but never ever for the fucking front wheel drive 2 series AT.
Is it necessary to have a big variety of models to choose from? I think the buyer is going nuts with so many options
2:20 why does she have an iPad in the windscreen?
To read what she said.
Great review! Thank you and keep it up!
Yall have no idea hoe much i hate people who touch frameless windows 😂😭😭😭 ginny and Matt I trusted yall!!😭😭😭
So basically this is a 3 Series hatchback
***** No you couldn't.
Anyone noticed there's a iPad behind the steering wheel as a prompter..
Now we're waiting for 2 Series Gran Coupe.
why people are so Harsh with this reviewer ???
Rebecca is Gone Get Over It !!!
*This is not a coupe' since it has four main doors nor is it a hatchback since it is a sedan car and besides, BMW said that the 4 series would be an executive coupe'. What's with all this confusion here??*
Where did she get a 418d with manual transmission in the UK? Thought the 420d was currently the only diesel GC with manual?
But isn't there already a 3 series GT? What on earth is the point of this? Won't be long before we get an 8 series, X8, 8GT, 9 series, X9, 9GT, 10 series, X10.....
I'm sorry, but it just looks like a squashed down version of the X4. BMW are going nuts at the moment, new models practically every week, and none of which seem to have a market. I mean look at the MINI division-they've got the Countryman, now the 5 door hatch, and a new 5 door Clubman on the way. They're all the same size and very similar in price, so why is it necessary to have 3 different models? BMW seem to be doing what Vauxhall did in the early 2000s, rushing out new models which had little to no purpose. Only difference is, slap a BMW badge on anything and somebody somewhere is gonna buy it.
Agree! to many cars such as this,X4,2series,x6
You don't know why thing you idiot your just another fool that thinks they know cars..
Lee-harry C Wow, if you passed primary school English I'll eat my hat
it's just names man, they're not different models, they could have called them all 3 series sedan touring coupé gran coupé makes no difference really
they fucked up with 1 series and 2 series though, with an MPV that is completely different (not like a golf plus in respect to a golf if u know what i mean) and they still call it series 2, with an active tourer title that means and tells you nothing about the car.
Maurazio I know, but why is it necessary? If you want a comfortable saloon car, you get a 3 series. If you want something a little bigger with a hatchback boot, you get an X4. This car is only slightly different to both of those, and I just don't know who it's going to appeal to.
I'd love either this or the audi a5 sportback
It.s no comparation between this and A5..Forget A5!
I've been in the M4 Coupe and the backseat has alot of legroom and enough headroom (im 180). So why are you going to buy this "4 Series Gran Coupe"?
Whats with the wheel gap? I remember when BMW used to be ahead of everyone (2006 3 series) but now they're really falling behind.
So this car is BMW 3 series coupe liftback and its called gran coupe but it isn’t a coupe because it’s a 5 door liftback and car buyer for some wired reason calls it hatchback.
I don't hate on this car, not compared to abominations such as the X4 or the 5 and 3-series GT. I see why you would consider this over a normal 3-series sedan.
Because it looks better!
hey, don't bad-mouth the 3-GT
Thank you for making my suggestion reality.
my 4 series is sooooo noisy on the road, those damn run flats, how did these even make it through the BMW quality assurance ? Even in this video, while she's driving, you can hear the ridiculous amount of road noise, sounds like she's talking in a plane !
bmw is like Samsung.
too many models.
Where is rebecca??
I find it funny when they show seatings or areas that are fine for many adults not fairly long journeys but say “it’s only suitable for a leprechaun or a dwarf”
See Rebecca, this is how you sit on that back middle seat. One foot on each side, not both at the same one, twisting your waist.
for girls its "rude" to sit with their legs open. common sense you know...
You're in a car, not in public. Nobody can see down your skirt. And the transmission tunnel doesnt force your legs to open too much.
***** upskirt is nice, just saying....
Can you please make a video of the 2015 dodge charger
great banter
Good video.
Love the 4 series specially the GC. Very sleek look.
What about the 3 Series GT?
Good review, as usual.
Where's rebacca Jackson and Matt Watson?
Is she reading from an iPad check the video at 2:20 (Extreme left)
just sad
A 4dr based off a 2dr coupe based off a 4dr...... nice.......
This or the Audi A5 Sportback?
who the fuck comes up with models like this? Its not even funny how contradictory this car is.
Excellent BMW working order 😂. Well doh, it’s a new car!
What's the point of making the 3 Series coupe into a 4 ,and then make the 4 a 4 door again ? Also if the boots are equal ,why would you take that ?
The BMW 4 Series is a liftback no hatchback.
What's everyone so confused about? 4 doors cars are odd numbers and the even numbers are for coupes and grand coupes lol it's not that hard, stop crying.
this is a 4 door car, but its a even numbered car, don't you realise the fuck up there? refer back to what you said.
blackmancer this is a 5 door car, just like all hatchbacks, liftbacks and touring cars.
blackmancer like i said grancoupes and two coupes are even numbers. This is a grancoupe.
I'm sorry when did a coupe become a 5 door hatch .Also the the screen looks like a after thought
very informative review.
A single exhaust comes close to ruining all the design of the 4 series GC
PERFECT!!!
I think this gran coupe is the equivalent of the Audi A5 sportback with four doors, but I think the Audi is a far more distinctive car, and you can clearly see the differences between an A5 sportback and an A4 saloon. But with this BMW, I can't really see how much it differs from the 3 series......Its a marketing disaster.
It is basically the 3 series facelifted
It's basically a stretched out 4 series. Like how the 6 Grant Coupe is a stretched 6 series. It's wider and lower than the standard 3, i've seen it up close. It looks nice.
Sandouras and it's got probably a bit less headroom and different body layout (hatchback instead of sedan).
are you serious about this ? did you really say that the switches are standard brillant bmw "quality" ? they're equivalent in any production car ...
I am honestly offended by you letting us see the telepronter/ipad on 2:20
Why buy 3 Series when you can have this!?
Hello Carbuyer, I am your arch nemesis.....Carseller.....
The only current BMW that interest me is the i8. I wish the pricetag wasn't so high.
So BMW introduced the 4 series specifically to be nothing more than a 2 door version of the 3 series, and now they go and make a 4 door version of the 2 door version of the once 2/4 door 3 series. Unless they simply pasted the 4 badges on the 3 series by mistake and just decided to roll with it.....BMW logic, yay.
no. 4 series was renamed, because it's more coupéish than standard dull 3 series sedan, and they want to underline the difference.
now they made 4 door coupé version (nobody's swearing about CLS, even when it was the first 4 door coupé on the yard?), so they kept the number 4. VW CC is not a passat anymore. just like renault scénic is not a mégane anymore, and ford C-max is not focus anymore, even they share the same platform, drivetrain, interior parts etc.
WHY IN THE GOODAMN FUCKING IS THIS NOT AVAILABLE IN INDIAAAA!!!😡
I miss Rebecca :(
i feel ya
she es gone, live with it
no hurt feeling for this woman but we want rebecca back..
She got replaced with a more urbane and less slutty version. A fine improvement.
***** What matters is the content, what she talks about the car, in what areas is good or not. That's what matters to me only at least. I still preffer Mat of course, but he's been missing a lot
Plug in your earphones and take a listen to that road noise. Why on earth hasn't this been mentioned in the review?!
That woman put an iPad on the instrument binnacle :o on 2:20
Doing great, Ginny!
i kind of like this car but whats the point of this car if there is the 3 series gt?
+Megat Mudzaffar perhaps because it looks good, which you cannot say about the 3 series gt - which looks like a bus.
Yup, this looks way better than the 3 GT...
Audi is much better because you can fold down the seats and that is standard with bmw you have to pay another £365 extra. Also if you pick the Audi A4 S line model you can pick on interior black and white leather seats.
Why to many dislikes?
Are u reading script text on your tablet while driving? I'm not a hater, i love Ginny. Please do the review safely. Good luck
2:20 i can see the gadget
I’m 22 and own 2014 BMW M sport X drive and I pay insurance 350$ only insurance without costing petrol
And other etc..
dislike the reviewer, not the car.sorry
gay alert!
How is he gay? She's old
Just 143 hp ??
This should have been the 3 series. It looks so much better. That said, I don't see the need for series 3 and 4. BMW are going too far and confusing the heck out of everyone.
BMW 4 Gran Coupe is a 5 door hatchback, just like 3GT... I don't get it.
Hmmm not realy, it's much more sportier.
Can you Review the all new volvo xc70 2015? Keep up the awsome work!
One really big LOOOOOOL,@2:19 you can cleary see that she reads all the things from her iPad mounted on the dashboard... Lame.....
its a 4 door sedan based off a coupe that's based off of a 4 door sedan #genius
+Davis Brown it's more like a fastback but I see your point :)
Like Audis I find that BMW's all look the same, just different sizes. Affordable leasing has meant the roads are flooded with them and they are no longer exclusive. BMW of the past were good, but now it's more a case of perceived quality rather than actual quality. The reliability surveys tell you all you need to know.
Where is Rebecca? 😒
The BMW 4-series Gran Coupe is NOT a coupe. It's a hatchback sedan.
Epic car but I am not 100% sure on BMW anymore after their never-ending key problems as shown on Watchdog!!!
I have just bought this car and it's great 428i luxury
The 3 series saloon has more torsional stiffness in corners.
No way she has an ipad covering the speedo on a public road.
If this was anything like the 6 series Gran Coupe that would be fine..but this looks like a flatter, lower X4.
True that thing is a beauty the 6 series GC.
Jeeze, why would you review the boring company car version?
Where’s the bloke love
series 4 = audi a5
series 4 gran coupe = audi a5 sportback
this is real ...
As a car reviewer you should know that you should never touch the windows when closing the door - it will leave annoying fingerprints!
tsint I hate people, who close frameless doors by the window pane.
***** I prefer that people close frameless doors by the window pane, less chance of them scratching up the paint.
This must be one of the most unneccesary cars ever made. If I saw this from a distance, even if I am a proper car nerd, I would'nt see the difference between the 4 Gran Coupe and the 3 Series. A slightly shorter back, and a slightly sleeker roofline. I don't understand why anyone would buy this instead of a 3 Series?
I have been told by a BMW sales person the reason why people would buy this over the 3 series saloon is they like the coupe look, the pillar less doors (which i like alot) and due to it having a hatchback it is easier to load larger items.
Bite me but if i had the cash id have this over the 3 series saloon for those reasons mentioned too but id have the M sport looks alot better than this version.
And yet, people will buy it. Humans are funny. Once we're spoilt with choice, we love compromises. As much as BMW purists will hate it, BMW knows that it'll make money. I thought the X6 was literally the ugliest, most useless SUV I ever laid my eyes upon. But it's now everywhere.
Tedrick Leong Yea the X6 is hideous I dont know which is worse the new 2014/5 model or the previous one. I do see quite a few but there are not so common in london, uk. The range rover is the most common SUV i see here
Then you sir are clearly not a car man if you cannot tell a 3 and 4 apart.
Shes got better presentation skills that Rebecca, she was so wooden. This channel isn't exactly meant to be fun, its just informative surely.
Ca maker logic before
"We need a small mid size family car" makes sense
Car maker logic nowadays
"we need a small size family car" makes sense --> "lets turn it into a coupe!" still acceptable --> "Lets turn the coupe back to 4 doors, while keeping the original family car version, but keep calling it a coupe and give it a higher price. We can also insist its not a niche market and convince people its a totally different car" wtf.
Repeat for mid size executive saloons and SUVs.
Rebecca had nicer hands
BMW 6 GC turned out much better than this 4 GC, such a shame...
Half of you seem to be blind, if you think this looks anything like the X4.
I still remember when my dad purchased a 1982 520i in 1988, and I was HOOKED to BMW, and remained a fan for many years. But nowadays, I can´t relate to that trend where "oh I have to offer a car in every stupid niche everyone else has". FWD, 2 series, single volume car...I don´t recognize BMW any more. So sad.
give us matt back
I ordered one yesterday!! 430d mineral grey. cannot wait 12-14 weeks. this car looks sleeker than the 3 and there are few on the road which makes it that bit more special
The review model here is a 1.5ltr diesel...pitiful for this size of car.
+bodrulm1 No, it's not a 1.5.
It's a detuned 2.0 similar to the one in the 420d.
Mircea Dogaru You are correct. Misinfo on my part
