I think the new grill design is sharp, aggressive, and makes the other BMWs with the small grills look dated! I’m picking up my 2023 Sunburst Orange 430i tomorrow! Can’t wait!
The more I see it, the more the grille grows on me. Especially blacked out in the Shadowline package. My 2021 330e has my preferred style of grille (Shadowline as well), but I'd still be happy as hell with the 4 Series.
Out with the old and in with the new. Love this design, sure its dramatic and not completely necessary… but only creating within the boundary’s of practicality makes for a dull and bleak end product, case in point all older BMWS from the nose looked like a carbon copy so you really had no way of telling which one was which until it drove past you. Now you can look at this car and instantly recognize that its a 4 series.
Maybe because that grille is all one color, minimizing the "nostril" or "pig snout" effect it doesn't offend my eyes??? I love that color too. Though I have a Giulia, which I think is the most beautiful 4-door sedan ever created by humanity, I could have this and not feel too bad about it from a looks standpoint. The BMW will have an advantage over the Giulia in features and interior tech---there is no doubt BMW has far more resources in that regard than Alfa does. I'd have to drive it first though, if it isn't dynamically at least as good as my Alfa then no thanks.
It's unfortunate that the 2023's 430 xdruve all wheel drive GC at least currently in 9/22 doesn't offer HK or a heads-up display. I do find that without the hud, the speedometer is constantly being covered by my left arm. Without the hud, I wish they replicated the speedo to the center display unit. Other than that It's a great, overpriced BMW
Immediate downvote for your ridiculous judgement ("revolting") of the front end. That's not up to you to judge. Review the vehicle's qualities objectively and leave that judgement up to the consumer. It sells well, so you're wrong anyway. That being said - sneakers, jeans and a zip-up hoodie on an unkempt guy who must be in his forties? Yikes...
I’m dumping my 22 Acura RDX after only 6 months of ownership. Came from a 2019 BMW X4 to the Acura RDX and neither my wife nor myself ever liked the RDX. For one, the RDX with a similar 2 liter turbo, gets over 30% worse fuel economy than my X4. Two, the RDX had more issues in 8,000 miles than my X4 did in 35,000 miles. Three, everything about the RDX is just not as well thought out, or intuitive, four, the RDX has no soul… feels like a Honda. I’m taking a big lose on the RDX in trading it in on a 2023 430i Gran Coupe, and couldnt be happier! Acura RDX is a nice enough vehicle, but lacks what BMW has in spades.
It is amazing that a company that has so much leadership in design and looks and themes throws all of it away. I can never buy these new BMWs. The looks are beyond disappointing.
I absolutely love the new grille, to each his own.
SAME!! IT IS FIRE!!
I love the front. My Brooklyn Grey M440i just came in. Picking it up tomorrow
@@petertamburro6578 when did you order it
@@bitcoochie4093 week before Xmas

i literally love to 430i grill, caught my attention right away. I dont what is up with everyone flaming it online.
grill looks completely fine
I love the look and the way it drives.
Amazing looking car!
I love this car I got one yesterday
Love this car! looks amazing!
Love the grill, unique car that’s not boring
My M440 I in Brooklyn Grey should be here early March. I like the front. My money could care less what anyone thinks.
Couldn't.
Idk bout revolting , I feel that a nice car deserves a big grill , this is beautiful imo
Commentary on the grille is so played now 🙄 yes it’s large, we get it. Otherwise it’s a fantastic car.
I recommend a new pair of glasses for you.
There is no car with a small grille.
This one is pretty good, sedan like 4 door but a coupe shape, idrive is a great infortainment system, and that color is gorgeous.
Great? I'd say it better than IDRIVE 6
Looks at this guy, wouldnt say he'd be an expert on what looks good
How this color is called?

He shouldn’t talk about looks.

The new grill looks good when it’s in all black. But when the grill is chrome. NO thank you
Agree. The Grille is actually cool in Shadowline
For me it's the opposite, I like it more with chrome.
Awful review. Slagging it off from the start too. It actually looks really good.
There's nothing "Gran" about it. It's just a hatchback. They're a dime a dozen. Others are much better value.

This vehicle is a good reason to hold out for the upcoming Integra.

What the hell is a “coup”? It’s a coupé, you should know how to pronounce it if you decided to present it!

The exterior is ugly as hell and the interior is insultingly bland. Anyone who sits in this thing will easily opt for one of it’s competitors.
That’s hilarious!
DISGUSTING!! Saw one today and the guy had to put a fake UK license plate on the front to try to disguise the fugly ass front end!!!!
No! Just No!🤢
Just buy a Honda Civic.
