Great, now I can afford the old generation!
exactly what im going to do when I graduate next year since I will be debt free lol
What generation
@@mikemayers8672 2021-2024, they are going for around 35-42k right now
Previous generation is better, look they remove the leather airbag cover on the steering. Charging more while take stuff off.
@@toasti2699lol no the 23 or 24 versions are not. They are still mid to upper 50s if not more.
I’m at a point where I don’t care about the grill. I’m just glad it’s not an SUV.
Like the m5 at 2.5tons
I'd hate to be a CSL owner after seeing the same tail lights on a M440i.
Good thing you’re neither. 😁
@@waykool698someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
Jakob mentioned it but you see it on so many cars because tons of eBay sellers do aftermarket tails that look like them for every model.. most of which an m440i would smoke
I did not exprct BMW to bring those tail light down to 440. must needed to lower manufacturing cost by producing more than 7. /s
Most people who buy a CSL are grown ups. They have more important things going on in life

The Block (formerly the burnyard) needs to be revisited again.
it all started when i was playing NFS on my phone and so i unlocked this car ( 2019 Corvette Z06) and i really liked it.
next thing yk, im looking it up on RUclips and there we go! came across yall's review on it. liked you guys' energy, SUBSCRIBED! and i've been a fan since ever since.
I have one of these. I am absolutely in love with it. Perfect balance of sport and comfort
Actually prefer these headlights and taillights. Front end overall is more appealing to me than the pre-refresh.
That license plate isn't helping that grill
yeah i took mine off and looks way better
@@jesselee1397 define “better”
@@Accost2uto him*
All bmw look disgusting with a US front plate

This was one of the best horse power and torque pronunciations from Yuri yet 👏
Honestly this car is my perfect in between daily. I wanted a two door, M2 was too small (love it though) I wanted a nicer interior than the M2 offered, I couldn’t afford an M4 at 24 + crazy insurance rates. I picked my 25 M440i xDrive up two weeks ago and still very happy with my fake m4! Next step is obviously a real M4 🤣
This is basically where I’m at, but can afford the M4. Hell, I could buy several of them in cash. I test drove an M4C xDrive today but… I don’t know man… I just don’t *want* to spend that money on it. I mean fuck, after 4 years of interest and taxes, it’s over $100k. I just didn’t feel like I wanted the car as much as $100k. Maybe if I was a multimillionaire? I don’t know. The way I described it to my wife who couldn’t join me on the test drive was that it was the best car that I could afford, but didn’t want. I prefer the classier interior of the M440i. I prefer that I can get Mocha leather. I prefer that I can get wood grain. The M2 would be great if I could get those things, and true Individual paint choices, but I can’t. So here I am, watching this video for the 8th time. In a lot of ways, I just prefer the M440i over the M4 and M2. BMW have yet to make the “perfect” car for me, I guess.
@ggill1313 did you pull the trigger? Did you consider the CLE53 AMG coupe?
10:47 BMW please bring them back
We want the 1-8 AND Climate Controls !!!
As an i4 driver - the forum I am on, one person has already replaced his rear lightgs with these CSL laster lightseven before this LCI was revealed. I agree, the grill is better. I like the new M grill for the i4 (not sure if you guys saw that), but many of us are thinking to replaced our original grill with that one. So I am strogly considering that myself for my M50.
Not a fan of the new headlights. Glad I have the angel eyes-type lights
Hmm, yeah maybe the grill only for M rather than the non-M as you said, would be a good thing.
I like the M wheel before this refresh / flat bottom.
Have the seat belt extender on our S5 Cab, great feature. Also, no dipstick, you can check the level in the menu easily. There is a cap where the dipstick would be(and can be if you go aftermarket) and this is where you do the oil change from the top using an oil extractor. Quick and easy.
The m440i had a huge glow up( especially the front end)
Is the thumbnail in low resolution to anyone else?
Yes. I actually thought it was intentional
They put a pixel filter over the lights and grille, for some reason.
to protect your eyes from the hideous design
It’s a BMW feature they break sometimes but it’ll fix itself👍
Yes it is.
I've just placed an order for my 2025 Vegas Red M440i XDrive convertible! I'm anxiously awaiting a production number/date. Hopefully I didn't wait too late to get the 2025 model and have to wait for the 2026 production to start. I'm waiting to hear back from the dealership here in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I'm afraid that if I'm not issued a production number before February, I will be getting a 2026 model year. 🤞
Jakub, you obviously study the specs/options/features. Very good. 👍
An oil dip stick making it's way back into BMWs would be so nice. I hate waiting for the electronic measurement at operating temps. If you ever have an issue, you basically have to do an oil change to know how much is in there without risking damage when measuring oil level. Makes no sense.
I thought other manufactures had switched over to this system since everyone copies BMW. You're supposed to manually check your oil level whenever you refuel if you have a manual dip stick, but no one does and so people are probably driving around with low oil and don't know it. With this system it will alert you even if you don't run one of those oil level checks.
Can't wait for the CLE review. I think it's the better looking vehicle out of the two
100%
I like the new snake eye leds on this years bmw's, they look great in traffic
I would like to see a 2024 vs 2025 m440i 0-60 and 1/4 mile run.
Ever since the unappreciated Chris Bangle left BMW in 2009, BMW has tried to emulate his forward thinking designs. Proud that he was born an American, Bangle was fluent in German and Italian, and was responsible for designing one of the most beautiful coupes ever produced. The Fiat "Coupe" was totally cool, and we were robbed it was never imported to NA. This M440i could easily have been designed by Bangle. His most controversial design was the top-of-the-line 7 Series which had (imo) a truly cool "duck's ass" trunk. Completely aerodynamic, many high up in the auto business hated it. However, Bangle had pull with Stefan Quandt, and the rest of the Quandt family so he got much of what he designed into production. This M440i reminds enthusiasts of the adventurous thinking of Bangle; especially the front grill. A four seat Nissan "Z." Only better. The Straight Pipes duo are, arguably, the best auto reviewers in the You Tube universe. Live long and prosper.
HAPPY FRIDAY
front end looks like someone tried to scan their butt using the grill and they used the outline for the design
Lol Yuri face after saying "you mean normal?" Saucy!
Haha, it’s interesting that you guys noticed that the 3 Series drives differently than the 4 Series. You’re absolutely right. It’s been this way since the launch of the 4 Series. It’s supposed to be a GT car so it’s dampened a bit softer, while the 3 Series is a bit bouncier.
The launch did look amazing
We got a Free Fire Low-graphic setting thumbnail now☠️
This review brings me back to the first ever video I've seen from you guys: the 2018 BMW M440i, six years ago!!!
We've come a long way.
(also, would take the 2018 M440i any day over this one)
That was a 440i not M440i
I still have my 2018 440i with the performance tune, performance exhaust and adaptive suspension. Still a great car. I’ll be keeping it for a while for sure.
Just ordered. Glad they introduced this grill, its so much better than the honeycomb one.
I can't believe I'm going to have to wait at least an entire generation before people realise huge screens are crass.
**PSA: you CANNOT check your oil level electronically. I mean you can, but I was filling oil and needed 7.2L (or 7.1 idr) of oil for my engine/xDrive config, the RWD version only needed 6.5L. So I initially filled up to 6.5L until I realized my mistake via the forums, BUT THE ELECTRONIC DIPSTICK READ FULL!!! Over half a liter short and it was reading full!! You CANNOT use the electronic read out as a gauge, it’s simply too inaccurate and this is a common issue on the forums.
I love it & I am not a bmw guy. This seems like the perfect daily driver

Is this a electric car ? you talking about Hybride , what is Hybride here? Thanks for info
It's a MILD HYBRID that acts as the start/stop mechanism
BMW's new wheel designers are on dope!
Did BMW bring back the auto start/stop button 13:31 because my 2024 M340i doesn’t have that button? I’ll keep it in Sport for it to disengage
Yes it is back for LCI 4 series and also MY2025 g20
@@davidzvezda it’s good they brought it back, but lame how they took it away in the first place
Love this channel!
Wake me up when BMW has fixed all the Bad Piggies snouts on their cars.
Oink wake up and put your own damn exhaust on it then and stop complaining.
@@Rudimental13he’s referring to the front end
@@lawrencehoward1980 really? Pig snouts are round so that doesn't make sense either
I mean, it matches the owners😂 just leave it on
@@Rudimental13 oink oink bro, did I strike a nerve?
The front grill is much better than the pre face lift
Headlights on point.
I own a 24 m440i x drive, love it to the moon and back!! I originally drove an Alfa Stelvio Quad and the bimmer is much more fun
7:40 This generation of 4s can’t even come close to this orgasmic beauty here
BMW really the ultimate driving machine
“Hey BMW, tell me a joke”
“Please try again.”
I dunno I thought that was pretty funny
Facts I want regular buttons
The 2025 isn't markedly different from the 2024, but the price has certainly gone up.
old gen was so much better. No hybrid bs, no button removal, no horrific grills, no muted exhaust. Just pure enjoyment
Finally the front looks good! Now it actually makes sense to cross shop this with the M340i, just like the S4 and S5! No more garbage polka dots
I love the steering wheel :)
i hated the front bumper, now i hate the headlights too.
FYI… you don’t need to pause between “hey BMW” and the command.
I think you'd be better off getting the M240i if you want a coupe. M340i or M440i GC for a 4 door.
100% agree. Or if you really want a 4 series coupe just save and get a m4
@@GhostPrime21 Or save a bunch of money and get an M2!
The lack of a mild hybrid is kind of a bummer on the 2-series. The engine is constantly turning itself off when you're driving in town, and in stop and go traffic, the engine feels like it's going to kill itself stopping and restarting every few minutes. Not to mention dumb stuff like turning off at stop signs when the vehicle still has forward momentum.
It's not the thing that will make the 240i a bad choice, but it's a constant reminder of how much better it could be.
@@BlakeMcCringleberry it has an auto start stop button that can be turned off. Both cars disable it in sport mode too.
@@koopaGG While true, it's not always at the top of mind, and that first stop sign on the way out of the neighborhood is a jarring experience.
Also, you don't get the fuel economy benefits of auto-start/stop if you turn it off.
Otherwise, I'm totally happy with my M240i.
great review!
Any plans on reviewing 430i too? Please.
Sounds much better than the last few b58s!!
I’m planning to get the m440 2024 is this any better or much different? Should I just wait for this 2025?
Great video
Cross shopped new M4 Comp XDrive/M3C Xdrive, new M2, new RS3, RS7, Golf R, S3 ect...ect... my budget was broad at 50k-115k US. If you want to go budget route and plan to modify for serious power and can deal with a "small" car absolutely check out the M240I XDrive. Those cars can be put in the 10s (car and mods) for about what you would spend on new RS3.
Cupra formentor VZ5 would be my nr 1 choice, around 50-60k with very low miles
@senoow4215 US, no Cupras available here unfortunately.
1:45 reminded me of that time when I ate an enormous bowl of Poutine (Canadian! in Yuri voice) 🇨🇦#WorthIt
Give me angel eyes! Not whatever these fang lights are. Grill still looks horrible too. I usually complain about the screen, but I'm willing to accept that if they fix headlights and grill in future gens. The rest looks and performs great

Fucking finally a proper lci review
Yeah I like these guys, they do their reviews with no nonsense garbage
If it’s the new 3rd generation B58(I think it would be) the it now has factory port injection. So it uses both direct and port injection like the Audi 5 cylinder RS engine.
BMW generally does a good job even the pre-face models of late looks good if I would compare the new C-class to current 3 series I think the pre-face 3 series still look better then the latest C-class, however now BMW is going to have a second facelift ready for the 3series and I get a pretty good feeling that the BMW 3 Series is out selling the C-class.
😂😂😂that last part
Gorgeous!! Love the color!,
Never gave up on the twin turbo V6 is the rumor as relates to BMW.
Love those dipsticks!
Yuri must have upped his anxiety meds. Chill af in this episode. Lol😂 #nothingbutlove
So the shifting bang comes from the speakers inside only? 😂
NGL I actually like the front end of my 2023 M440i better. I don't like the horizontal lines on the new grill and the new < > DRLs as opposed to the larger ones.
Rear end looks better than the front.
This is wicked. No need to buy M4 anymore
m4 looks way better
Hate the license plate mount on this one. It’s covering the grill and airflow. Why can’t they make it so it doesn’t ruin the front.
It was this, a CLE 450, or an 840i xd.... I drove the 840i xd home on Monday. The B58 will get a tune over 400bhp.
Still happy with your decision? Any reason in particular you went 8 series?
Very happy! It has enough power for my needs whilst having a much better quality cabin.
@@expat1902 the cabin quality THAT noticeable? Wow ......
It's a whole different level.... got the 7 series luxury, built in the same factory as the 7 and the Rolls Royce, but with the lovely B58. I also get 30+ mpg on my daily commute.
@expat1902 last question, any thoughts on M850i and the N63 engine choice? Now you got me doing MORE research!
Can you do the review on Lamborghini revuelto😊
The Dark Horse looks 100 times better
Waits for the GC
All hail the B58.
Everything’s so fast these days
This grille is so much better
Steering wheel looks way better
I agree . You are smart
I cant get over the grill
“Okay let’s go!” 😂
Really love this car
hi guys, any chance you can tell me the size (inches) of the wheels and what model they are ? please
Hope you guys can finally come to Germany and drive on the autobahn.
The 4GC is the best-looking BMW, currently produced.
382 hp to 386 hp
400nm to 540nm torque
so the 48v mild hybrid does contribute 🧐
500nm to 540nm
It is mistyped in a video
Loved the video! Absolute quality content🤩🤩 11/10
Biggest complaint as a MKV Supra owner, is that damn BMW digital dipstick. Worse thing ever. It stopped working for the Supra which required a new oil pump.
Which bmw would you say has the best steering feel?
8:40 the brake feels normal on the lci? i had 2024 m440, traded in for something else 2 months ago, that random sticky brake really bothered me so much.
edit: they also brought back the ASS button?? this is so much better than pre lci
My 2022 330 m sport was wayyy too sticky and I could never come to a smooth stop. My 25 M440 is night and day difference brake wise. I can finally creep to a stop.
@@CalvinDabrowski sounds like the '25 m440 is a perfect car, congrats!
I owned a 2020 M340 xdrive and loved that car. Then bought a 2023 Audi S4 and loved that until someone hit me and totaled it. Now I own a 2024 Audi S5 sportback. I did cross shop the M440 gran coupe but I couldn’t find the color combo that I liked. That B58 engine is terrific…now with more oomph!
nice! RS5 next?
My new M4 LCI doesn’t have seat belt givers!! It’s honestly a problem lol, they’re so far behind! I get a Charlie horse in my ribs sometimes when I reach back….or maybe that’s just what happens at 37…
I think you meant "MOE POWA BABY"
I wish they kept the 2nd gen B58. They literally only used it for 2 years.
They used it since 2019 🤣

The csl will be the most depreciating BMW as it’s been devalued now down to 440i. If I owned one I would sell it while the going is good. Already down 30k from msrp.
The biggest miss with this BMW and this review failed to mention is the lack of staggered wheels & tires. BMW was always known for staggered set ups. What the hell happened? 😢
US models were available with ventilated front seats, previously.
True but hate that they limit the colors you can get them in. I really wanted tacora red with ventilated but they took tacora red leather away entirely and ventilated still only in solid black (no accents) or mocha 🤪😳
@@NeilNatic unfortunately, that's not uncommon. Audi is similar.
do it not have a ventilated seats option in the 2025 version ?
