- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The all new BMW 4-Series right now consists of two coupes. The BMW 428i and 435i. Here are the main bullet points of the new breed of BMW:
Uses BMW 3-series sedan wheelbase, but the coupe is lower and wider. 1.5 in wider in the front, 2.4in wider in the rear
4-series has "lowest center of gravity of any BMW car currently on sale". And it shows.
On sale now. starts at $40,500 for 428i, 435i starts at $46,000.
Engines are carry-over. 2.0-liter 4 cylinder turbo with 241 hp / 258 torque. 3.0-liter straight six with 300 hp / 295 torque.
Both trims are available with xDrive all wheel drive
Those are the basic facts. Andre recently had the chance to drive the new 4-series in the great state of Washington so check out another fun and informative TFLcar video for everything you ever wanted to know about the 2014 BMW 428i and 435i.

Good to see the Product Manager is excited about this car. Many of these engineering types are pretty unexcited about their new cars.
It's much better to show the car then show a dud's face, who talks about it!
We completely agree, but youtube will not allow it.
"It's longer. It's lower. It's wider.."
That's what she said.
That 428 looks just like mine! :D
Track width: This thing, with xDrive, refuses to get loose in a corner! :)
EcoPro: I hate putting mine on EcoPro... She just feels like she hates me when I turn it on... Like she resents being restricted like she is... So, comfort is where she stays most the time. :D
Headlights: Xenon was standard on the 4-series, as I recall, and that was a major selling point for me. I didn't even know about the Tucker tracking in the headlights until my sister mentioned she saw my headlights moving... Way cool! :D
Some things not touched on:
It has a seatbelt robot! When you get in and start the engine and close the door, a little robotic arm pokes out and pushes your seatbelt forward. My sister named them "Tim"...
It seats four people quite easily! Smaller coupes are usually restricted to seating two comfortably even though they may have a back seat... The 4-series, though, seats my 5'10" self quite easily in the back...
Rear seats fold down for extra trunk space... And the trunk is big enough to where you could sleep 2 or 3 comfortably with the seats folded!! I honestly have no idea how BMW got so much ROOM in such a small car!
Mine has a little dock thing for an iPhone or iPod or other iDevice that may fit, but it also has a USB and AUX port right next to that.... Imagine my surprise when my AUX-plugged cheapy Walkman was running low on battery, so I hooked the USB up, and the car started reading it like a media device!! :O I'm actually tempted to set up one of my spare laptop HDD's on a SATA-to-USB wire and see if it won't read it as a storage device... How utterly awesome would it be to have a whole terrabyte or more of actual hard drive holding all your multimedia right in the car!? :D
The seats in the non-M are pretty standard, but they're not standard at all.... In a Ford or Chevy, these seats would be a premium... In a BMW, they're a lot less premium.... But they're still GREAT seats!
BMW definitely did it right with the 4-series... If you're considering an entry-level BMW, the 4-series is most definitely worth looking into!!
Entry level? I have an 08 328i w/ a N52 NA engine aka no turbo. You can't anymore basic than that unless you get a 1 series.
By the way thanks for the specs, I was reading your post while the guy in the vid kept talking about friggin track width.
I heccing love my BMW i428 xDrive (2014 model) - it honestly drives like a normal car if you got it in eco or comfort, but if you’re ready to have lots of fun, throw her in sport or sport+ (I like calling it race mode cause you frickem ZOOOOOOM)
the music doesn't change much for me you guys are doing some really good reviews with world conditions I love your channel. good work!
Bought my 428i yesterday with a $4000 discount for $38k! It is a completely different car way above my previous C250 Coupe in all ways, specially suspension, comfort and performance. BMW 428i also offers HID lamps and driving modes in the basic trim as standard!
+Bruno Andrade I got my 428i last week for £29000. So far so good.
Am I the only one that likes the front end of this car!?
Im Gonna miss the M3, the 3 series is the best series in so many ways!
just got mine in my sport guise. no complaint. the car has several wonderful characters. 3 cars in one.
Longer, lower, wider- almost sounds like an old Pontiac advertisement ;-) Looks a lot better than any Pontiac ever did. A very tempting car.
Congratulations to the editors who made Andre sound like the Stig- silent :-)
I view this as a junior version of a 6 series... thoughts?
roman, r u holding up ok with the flooding?
i loooooove ANDRE ... he makes me laugh, he makes my day, he is so love-able !!
Even BMW officials get confused with the numbers. At 4"10 the guy from BMW said: the new three series. But it is a good thing that the M3 went out with a bang. A good, masculine V8 BANG.
Looks gorgeous!
A really nice Product Manager that i wish to see more like him. 435 looks beautiful but sadly they got same engine as the 335 hope the new m4 and m3 have different specs along with a different engine
So how much extra will it cost to get that wider track?
How many would as soon as getting this car, changeth
how was Andre impression about the car?
where i can contact u guys? have few question about other cars
Is that 2" wider track than the e90 or e46 M3?
can you get the M performance power kit like the 335i sedan?
The question is, Can it turn left..while being blended
This doesn't replace the 3 series, does it?
Does that mean 3series ci inferior to 4series????
What do the numbers and letters after the 4 mean?
Haha, I like how you cut out every time Andre asks a question. Like we don't know he can't speak English.
I like Andre.
Optioned it will be in the mid-$50k range.....
I'm still warming up to the name change... Looks great though. I hear there's an ATS coupe coming,... I can't wait for that comparison! :)
want to see a mash-up with the A5
finally, driver oriented!
How much does the car weigh? He never disclosed the weight.
435 m sport or slk 250 full option?
This IS a 3 series coupe. They just stuck a different badge on the back and now they call it a 4 series. The sedans and wagons are 3's, the coupes are 4's. Not that complicated.
Awesome machines.
Its annoying to hear so many reviewers complain about the numbering o BMW saying ohh its confusing... Can't greengos remember more than 3 numbers?
They need to compete with the Audi A5 which is a beautiful car. Hence renaming the 3 series since Audi raised the number on their coupe.
Seriously? Why is that? Is that why a lot of the car channels seem to use some of the same music?
@1:50 is it lower than a 08 328i with M package. Because I can't even get a jack under that bi#$!
The 4 to a 3?
It' mentioned in the vid about MT.
Just an idea from a guy who watches most of your videos, new music would be nice.
I'll wait 10 years to buy second hand for much less. If I win the lottery then maybe buy a new one.
I waited only 5 years to buy mine. Just got 2014 for $17k. Not bad compared to the $40k+ sticker price. It looks pretty similar to the current generation one, I think they did a minor facelife in 2017 or something.
Jaguar7444 im interested in getting one. What is the cost to own one?
@@Jaguar7444 heeyy just got one too a 2015 428 gran coupe love it !!!!! and wayyy lower price than a new one
@@chrisshadow49 pretty low but I did have a steering column issue to fix. My X5 has issues as well. There is some truth to the BMW maintenance reputation but I love the look and the feel of the car.
If I'm not mistaken, a 4-series owner recently destroyed his car with a sledgehammer after subpar customer service
nice 3 series.
It’s a 4 series dummy
Ok guys, where's the Q50 vid?
Is that guy supposed to make me want to buy a bmw? Smh. No way.
0-60?
I still just do not understand why they made this car. Why not just stick with the 3 series coupe?
How much wider than the 3 Series is it?
Probably about $5500 wider.
niptodstan Well, that's not what I meant ;)
I was joking. Look on the BMW website. The details are there. I've just looked. The 4 series is just 2mm wider. So really, they're the same.
niptodstan Thanks :)
niptodstan That is completely not true. It is much more wider than that and it is blatantly obvious. I drive the 4 series and I can instantly tell on the road behind me if its a 3 or a 4 series, not only is it wider the whole grill looks different and especially the taillights, they are the only ones that don't have that sharp cut-off at the trunkline.
sooo.... the new 4 will have everything that the 3 should have but doesnt because the 3 isnt a 4. Seems like BMW found a way to make people that feel bad about buying a 3 coupe, since they couldnt afford a 6, feel better about themselves while also shooting itself in the foot when it comes to the people that buy what BMW is great at, which is 4 door cars that drive like sport cars ( the for instance )
Although, I think its one of the better looking BMW's, but from the rear it reminds me of the Opel/Vauxhall/Holden Calibra built by GM back in the 90's.
I love it
Quiero ver un análisis completo. GranBMW.
The real fpsrussia got to drive it lol
Needs less time of him talking in the seat. Show the car more and play his audio.
Not all of the 3 series...just the 3 series coupe
Seriously, do you like the car? It looks like a 3 series coupe? I do not understand this stupid concerns....i am happy that we have an all new 3 series coupe and i don`t give an f*** about his name!
Seems like BMW is losing its' Ultimate Driving Machine focus. This car seems to have some good qualities though.
I guess BMW didn't trust anyone to drive their "Ultimate driving machine"? How boring to fly out to Cali just to have some nerd TALK about the car...
was this a review or just a talk at a spritz ?
How can anyone compare a Cadillac to a BMW?
Good
easy to mistake for a 3-series, i think.
going stranger amd stranger
to compete with the audi a5 series witch is build to order (more money) an a5 used is still a whole lot more than an a4 used
This isn't everything I wanted to know...come on guys!...
Still this hideous horizontal break on the engine bonnet :( I prefer the design of previous 3 coupe much more (being a happy 335Ci owner).
LOL you mean your IS350 that lost to every competitor in every test? Lol loving your interior too. Go to bmw and test drive a 3 series and then go to audi and test drive an a4. Your IS350 is garbage and it's been proven by many professional car reviewers.
Well its a 2014 3 serie coupe
Wow.... So much money!
i find the front end sucks, the rest is great
How does Andre know how to answer in English but not speak in English
This guy reminds me of a black teenager singing about girls. Things I want to know. hahaha car salesman. Whats the weight difference between the tiptronic and the manual. How much aluminium is in the body and is the wider track a result of an increase of light weight components? Does the base car come with a locking rear end? Is heads up display an option? How many styles of wheels are available?
wat? why?
@4:10 did he seriously say the new 3 series lol ...
At 4:08 he calls it a 3-series. #facepalm
Хороший автомобиль
It's a BMW not a Skoda.
I'll take a 60's Pontiac over this any day. At least it has character and isn't as ugly in the front imo
You guys need a girl on your team !
O.P.J. really is a much better label than BMW, kind of sad that this premium quality auto maker is producing a great deal of " mechanically unreliable " cars.
By miles the Infinity and / or Lexus cars are far superior cars than the BMW'S.
My neighbour paid $59k. for his wife's BMW back in February, it's been back in the dealership for warranty repairs eleven times.
I drive a 2011 Genesis Coupe, put a lot of mileage on it since new, never had a single problem !
O.P.J. = over priced junk !!
it looks like a bullfrog in the front, not a good thing.
talk talk talk....come on guys road test it properly please
he does know how to speak in english
BMW četvorka
2 little car, 2 much ceo...
335i...same shit
POOR MAN BMW m4??
