  • I'm not sure how I feel about the grille on this 2022 BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé. But the rest of it is... M.S.R.P. - $67,625.

    I had the prior model GC and it was one of my all time favorites, fast and practical. And the new one is just stunning, so true. As for reliability, no issues, just gas and go. I am glad they retained the rear hatch.👍BTW, the front grill chops veggies, cooks steaks, and shreds the competition.🙊

      I'm happy to hear you had no issues with your car, Steven R. This was a wonderful car to drive. I truly enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

    I have one, however I didn't delete the power seats and I have black interior. I bought it without test driving it, so I was a bit worried about the performance, but when I took of the showroom floor my worries quickly faded. This car drives great and has plenty of power. Throw it into sport mode and it will get you there quick and sound great while doing so. I average around 23-25mpg, but I have a very heavy foot.

      I tried my best not to make any jokes, Mario Whyte. 😳 Believe it or not, the front end is beginning to wear on me and I don't mind it as much. Amazing how a great driving car that looks sexy from all angles, except for one, can change your mind after some time. Thanks for watching!

    The folks who see you in their rear mirror are the only ones who may be offended by the the grill. ;) That said, i don't mind it at all. Better than Lexus IMHO.

    • @AutoAcademics

      The grille is definitely starting to wear on me, too, SupraX. So, maybe BMW is on to something. Other than that it's a fantastic car, inside and out. Thanks for watching!

    Great video as usual Chris! To shed some light on the "power seat delete", it's not an option. BMW had to deliver many vehicles with power seats deleted because of the chip shortage. They gave a "delete credit" for the trouble. They did the same on other models, deleting the touch screen capability on iDrive, removal of the power lumbar support, removal of the wireless charger, etc. I feel bad for customers who waited months for their cars, only to be told they would get $500-800 for deleted equipment. Sucks, but lots of manufacturers are doing the same (but no power seats in a BMW? Com'on Man!).

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  2 года назад +1

      That makes sense, Chris Burry. Thank you for the clarification. It's definitely an odd deletion ina $70k car, but I guess I'd rather that instead of something not working with the infotainment system. Thanks for watching!

    Great review Chris. I like this new model a lot. Even the grill design is growing on me. I feel like this hatch body style makes it more useful than the 3 Series. The gray exterior/red interior pops as well.

    The M440i seems like a great car. Will have to keep it in mind when I am shopping around again. I do like the front end of the M440I more than I ever liked the front end on the Cadillac CTS or Cadillac ATS. The front-end on both Cadillacs was a show-stopper for me on otherwise nice cars. I am with you on the grille. It would take me a while to get use to it, also.

    Glad to see you back in saddle, I really don’t understand BMW any more. I just can’t get past that face. I could never own a vehicle I can’t stand looking at every day. It is as though they want to be as ridiculous as possible.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  2 года назад

      It's definitely a polarizing front end, Paul M, but I have to admit the more I look at it, the less it's offending me. Similar to the Lexus grille. Couldn't stand it when it first came out, but now it's "normal." 🤷🏾‍♂️ The rest of the car is great, though. Thanks for watching!

      It’s not like the buyers and leasers are poverty stricken. The cost of those power seats is a drop in the bucket. I would wager that few will take advantage of that offer, Chris.

      We haven't had an opportunity to review the current S5, V. Nail, so it's hard to say. Chris's wife has a current-gen Q7 and they love it, but that M440i was lovely. Thanks for watching!
