2023 BMW M440i Gran Coupe: Is This The Best New BMW?

[@tomcat6933]

I think I agree with you. This is the sweet spot for BMW. My favorite reviewed car that is at the top of my list to purchase

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

This will be my dream car!! Good job Ben.

[@anthonymarsala3086]

I've never understood BMW's obsession with hiding the cup holders.

[@volvo_3877]

It looks cleaner when the compartment is closed.

The info dial is touch. One can use your finger to write letters on the top when doing a search.

[@guggyp]

As a Porsche guy that car is beautiful outside the front grille. BMW had a way with luxury interiors . They probably cut back a bit to not get that car into the 80 k range.

[@banananana19]

Eh front grill looks sick, atleast better than m4

[@guggyp]

@@banananana19compared to the classic BMW grille around 2010 these new grills are just ugly. They took a classic design cue and made it a farce
It takes away from the rest of the car

[@williamscott850]

Great review that hit just about everything I was looking to see. The only thing I was looking for that I didn't see was how much cargo room there was with the seats folded down :( Normally, not that big of a deal when looking at a regular sedan. But, for the hatchback variants, it's always something people are looking for.

[@zshobby0909]

I placed an order for one of those. It should arrive by the end of the year. Can't wait!! Hopefully loan interest rate won't kill me😂

[@iPierre]

Do the 2023 m340i next, I’m on the market for one.

[@Lautarozoloaga]

Looks great 👍👏

[@SeenaTabatabai]

This looks better that m340 i, less basic

[@enriquehernandez3558]

can we just put all around 255 on the tires? has anyone done that?

[@autochampwandelen]

I also had a chance to review the BMW 4 Series Gran coupe in my channel and I can confirm it's WAY better than the last generation! Probably not as cool as the 2 door version!

[@kenmccune8843]

BMW is a beautiful car love it

[@saysumesh]

Ben how reliable is bmw 4 series engine and transmission, hoses

[@jakeadams7229]

My dude watch the first 3 minutes your so speed talking so fast anyways nice review 👍

[@a5440]

I bought one, so I'm biased. I think it looks fantastic all the way around. Saw a 340i today and the 4 series looks much better.

[@jaspajones7045]

About to sign tomorrow on a green one.

[@BezmenovDisciple]

Why is the 440i slower though? Heavier?

[@brandondarnes3699]

Another brand new BMW redlined 😞

[@henryi9738]

This car hits the sweet spot in many ways !

[@ThePrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Is it expected to get idrive-8 next year(2024)?

[@danboldt]

The 2024 has iDrive 8

[@TK-vk7ib]

The question is to buy this year, or wait until next year when it might get iDrive 8?

[@johnlimb5166]

iDrive 8 has been confirmed for the 4 starting March '23. Definitely wait

[@danboldt]

@@johnlimb5166 I ordered mine on Saturday and they confirmed it has iDrive 8.

[@LexThea]

@@danboldt how long is the wait? I’m looking to order too

[@danboldt]

@@LexThea I was lucky with my dealer. I got my allocation early. I ordered it on April 3rd, got my allocation April 28th, and the production date is May 22nd. From what I can tell it will take about 10 days to manufacture and then shipping. Shipping is the big question. I am hearing 8-10 weeks. So ordered April 3rd and delivery late July?

I'm lost...who likes the all screen?!?

[@seasidewalktosand6567]

Nice honda!

[@rlsedition]

Sweet spot at $71,000? I don't think so.

[@robertlemieux5365]

So who’s gonna tell them it has electric motors?

[@BogeyTheBear]

BMW i4. Different suspension to deal with the increased weight. Oh, and it's all-electric.

[@luca1064]

How come it doesn’t have that 50th year anniversary bmw emblem?

[@willyuan1]

those are optional upgrade

What’s the difference between this and the M340i

[@BenHardyCars]

Looks

[@barryf861]

@@BenHardyCars m440i still has older iDrive 7 system. m340 has new iDrive 8.

[@henryi9738]

this one is a coupe hatchback , not a sedan.

[@guggyp]

Super cruise?

[@InexperiencedGamer87]

After seeing the frameless windows, that was enough for me to pass. My Challenger has them with the automated up/down feature when opening and closing the doors, and when it’s frigid outside, to the point where you can’t even roll down the window normally via the switches, you basically have to force the door open to get it past the door frame, then force it closed and it doesn’t allow the windows to go back into the track. It instead sits over the weather stripping. Not to mention it basically makes the window bow out when shut until it’s thawed enough to be able to roll it down and back up into normal position creating a lot of wind noise/squealing due to air being able to squeeze in. Stupid design and super annoying. Maybe BMW does it better than Dodge, always possible, and I’m by no means comparing the 2 as overall vehicles, just that one specific design feature, but it’s the reason I’ll never go for a frameless window design again where the window has to drop to open and close. All that means is I’ll probably end up going with the M340i xDrive when it’s time to upgrade, and I absolutely cannot wait! Great review though! Very detailed and informative! Thank you as always for your efforts!

[@michaelroseland6418]

I have a G37XS coupe that has frameless windows. I've never had an issue when its cold. I live in Chicago. I've been debating between the M340 and M440 myself. I'm still torn. I'm still undecided on whether I like the M440 grill.

[@astoyanov1]

I have the 440i Gran Coupe and live in Boston. Never had that issue. I guess there is a difference between Dodge and BMW, who would have thought?

[@InexperiencedGamer87]

@@astoyanov1 Absolutelty. I even said in my comment that maybe BMW does it better than Dodge, and I was by no means comparing the 2 brands, just that specific feature. I wouldn’t expect Dodge to have the same level of quality given the price difference alone. Even the guy who commented above you who has an Infiniti G37X said his car has never done that, so it’s good to know it’s limited to my car, if not all Challengers generally speaking. I simply wasn’t sure if that was a common issue with this design feature was all.

[@fredyllanos8972]

@@InexperiencedGamer87Yeah, that’s gotta be a Dodge issue. Even on my old Infiniti G35 coupe, never had any issues with frameless windows, & I lived in the northeast. Sucks that Dodge cut corners in that department.

[@InexperiencedGamer87]

@@fredyllanos8972 Lesson learned for sure. I don’t like the direction they’re going anyway. Time to jump ship lol

[@sankohuy]

You're talking wayyyy too fast in your videos

[@rlsedition]

Those grilles still look like hell and this is made even worse by the bright finish on the "dots". Whatever happened to BMW design?

[@djsthemetereman]

Yeah they could definitely tone down the grill but it has grown on me a little bit

[@rlsedition]

@@djsthemetereman If there weren't better looking alternatives, like the Audi S5, Alfa Romeo Giulia and Genesis G70, it might be worth forgiving BMW for this front end mish-mash, but those competitors are out there. Interestingly, the BMW E46 M3 used to be my "poster child" vehicle, but not today. Their styling, both exterior and interior, are deal-breakers for me.

[@djsthemetereman]

@@rlsedition Yes those are nice cars but people will still by BMW

[@rlsedition]

@@djsthemetereman Sure, but that has less to do with the product and more to do with the number of dealers, buyer brand awareness and leasing costs. I think BMW has "lost the plot" on the 3 series, as the Brits would say - now too large and poor design elements both outside and inside.

[@djsthemetereman]

@@rlsedition I hear ya, hey too be honest I've never owned a BMW I've owned an 08 Audi A4 which wound up giving me problems at around 59K but I currently drive a 21 Acura TLX Type-s which I thoroughly enjoy, but yeah I still say there are loyal BMW fans, I even had a customer on my job whose driveway was full of BMWs this is what he liked, he had one & his wife had one
