    Great review - no drama, no clichés, only the facts. Sounds like BMW has done their usual neatening up job on the LCI. It was already darn good beforehand.

    Owned my 440i for 4 months and love it! Endless power when you need it and super comfort. Beautiful B58 engine is so smooth and slick changes from the auto box make it a pleasure to drive. Always have a smile on my face when going out to drive it.....

    • @dopiaza2006
      @dopiaza2006 2 года назад +1

      But for a small HP drop, you get way more torque and mpg from the 435d. Better 0-60 too. Of course, it doesn't sound so good but with fuel prices as they are I'll put up with it!

  • @landl190372
    @landl190372 Год назад

    What a great no nonsense review! All the information without any of the BS. Just bought the 435d x drive and it's the most fun I've had driving since owning a TVR, but far safer and cheap to run. If you're on the fence, don't be. Just treat yourself and get one.

      Hi Huw. All but the 440i, 330d, 335d are fitted with a standard six-speed manual gearbox. However, all those models can be selected with a cost optional automatic gearbox instead.

    Hey great review! I have a serious question and would be grateful for an answer... I have 2 cars right now a GTI and a GT4. I really enjoy both cars but I am moving to a big city and will have 2 car tandem parking. So the GT4 will rarely get driven, so I am debating selling them both and getting just one car and I am thinking 435i or 440i gran coupe (I cycle and surf) so it makes sense. Would be grateful for some feed back.

    • @TheN00bPolice
      @TheN00bPolice 7 лет назад +3

      It's snapper rocks blue. This is the colour it actually looks like. Most lenses on camera filter out the green and it looks more blue in a lot of pictures. I ordered this car and when I saw it in the flesh nearly had a heart attack as I hate green cars. I stood next to the car and took a picture on my iphone and the colour on my phone looks awesome but I was stood right in front of it and it looked completely green. Not to my taste.

    With 9k of optional extras, you mean it is in the region of the M3/M4 price, not performance! I test drove the 340i before the M3, that was no where near as quick.

    • @driversseat659
      @driversseat659  7 лет назад +4

      Paul hi there. Reviewed the M4 in the morning of the 440i review and while the M4 is quicker, more focused and aggressive, the 440i on pace in the real-world isn't that far behind - it is however more refined and relaxed compared to the M4.

    • @Paul-dr8tq
      @Paul-dr8tq 7 лет назад

      it's the 440i which does have 2 turbos , instead of the "twin power" single turbo you get in lower end engines. oh by the way the 335d has 2 turbos as well. It's not the reviewer who doesn't know his engines 😂

      Agreed that the 6 Series GC and CLS are very well designed. The 4 Series has grown on us but not as attractive as a 6 Series.

    Absolutely stunning colour. Way better looking than the new 4. It looks like rodent from the front
