    Thanks for your review on the the new M440i. I've had lots of cars over the years but never a BMW because I was somewhat tired of the same old front ends over the years. I couldn't tell one model year from another. I always like being the first on my block to have something different, and the 2021 M440i certainly satisfied that need. BMW aficionados who are turned off by the new front end styling should see the car in person. Much better in 3-D than 2-D. And the front ends are going to change on four-door models as well so you'll have to get used to that. I agree that the ride is not as soft as I expected (vs my 2011 Corvette and Toyota Highlander) but it does offer something different than I've been used to. I will continue to play with the various settings to find a ride that is right for me. It is a fast car and you need to check your speedo to make sure you're not going 20 over the limit. I'm 84 years old and am enjoying the ride.

    Hi guys, I don't understand why reviewers are so limited in reacting as it should. I bought this car 2 weeks ago and for road use, if you want more, you simply need to by a supercar. In my opinion there is no other smarter option on the market to have a complete packet of: luxury, functionality, space, sport experience and speed even if it is a driving experience focused car. I had Corvette ZR1, I know how a super car handles, I am doing motorcycle racing also, so I familiar with pushing things to the limit. If you are not impressed about this car... you didn't push it to the limit. And by the way, with a 800 eur Cip you get 60 more HP and 90 nM of torgue... The car is just laughing at you... This chassis and dampers, can easley handle more than 600 HP. Cheers

    2017 440i owner here, love the new model but I won't be upgrading because frankly, mine has most of the goodies (especially the b58). Didn't think it looked great until I saw it in person, I get the hate but in person it looks really quite good. Makes me look every time one drives past

    I recently had the opportunity to track this model at a BMW autocross event in Anahiem. Pitting the vehicle after my second lap, I got the "no prizes, no medals" speech from the head instructor. I asked if there would be trophy girls, and he rolled his eyes. I really pushed the vehicle. On my final lap, I took it easy, as I did not want to get banned from future events. Very impressed with it's braking and handling capabilities. The car looks fantastic. Thanks for the video.

    I've had my 21 m440ix for about 16 months and I am in love. This thing just seems to read my mind. It is always in the right gear to give me the power I need at the time. If I want to be lazy, I just hit the Eco button and get almost 30mpg. Or touch the magical sport button and have all the fun you can get away with. Be warned, this car will put triple digits on the dash so fast it will surprise you. That means you have to be careful if you are in an area where they frown on that kind of thing. The only possible complaint of this car is that I can't program it to stay in sport mode. That's it. The computer stores so many things in this car it seems it would be a simple thing to remember. I guess one negative thing for BMW is t hat i am not likely to upgrade anytime in the next few years. I am quite happy with this car just the way it is. "AT a Boy BMW."

      @@7shelliot234 No. This is the first car that I ever bought that has needed NOTHING done under warranty. The car has 21k miles on it and is still just as perfect as the day she arrived. Its build quality is absolutely top notch. It will put a speed warning light on the dash over 50. That is what i set it at for my city. But the light stays on till the car is turned off and back on. My only complaint is that you cant set default sport mode for the car. It is absurd that you have to push the button every time you start the car. But it is a very little thing. If thats all i ever have to complain about, i consider myself lucky.

      That happens on almost every coupe. Including my 335i. Mostly due to the fact that the rear is taller and the wheel fitment isn’t good. I ran lowering springs and spacers and it looks 100 times better.
