So, that grille
I love it 👍
I hate it 👎
👍🏼
👍🏽
Depending on colour combination
Dark colour black grill ... Ok
Light colour chrome grill ... 👎
👎🏾
👎
The smaller grills now look quite old fashioned.... I’m definitely a fan of the larger grill!
Me too. It didn't age well.
Its definitely new
The grill is a good change. The old small BMW grill is classic, but it has been looking dated with new car designs these days.
I disagree, especially on the previous z4 and some of the other cars. They had just adjusted them to fit the modern era before this gril came out
Don't get me wrong, the size isnt the issue for me but the design makes then look like weird nostrils. The outline also used to have a luxury feel to them
But that said, the grill on this car looks 10x better than usual for some reason
My girl and I are going in on a 4 Series convertible and we couldnt be more excited!
I bought a 420D M sport Plus with tech plus pack . I like it as much as the 840D. Simply brilliant. Comfortable , fast, quiet, looks stunning ( my mate thought it was the 8 series) .... and 60mpg / 600mile range from a 65L tank .
I’m waiting my new 420d gran coupe black m sport pro . I hope it will be excellent 😎
Do you think that, for bumpy roads, would be more comfortable with standard suspensions or with the M package + adaptive suspensions?
Am I the only one who likes the design?
I love that new look
I love the 4 series look from day 1
I love the looks... it actually annoys me that the number plate goes right across that big grille and ruins the looks ....
If you don’t like the grill on the new 4 series, then you certainly cannot like the grill on an Audi. It will grow on us and in a year, nobody will care.
It's the shape not the size, they look like two big nostrils. The older griols looked quite good and I didn't notice it back then but it was kinda iconic for bmw
The ones on the 4x4s are way too big and look like they were slapped onto the car at the last minute
At what location is it filmed?
The grill has grown on me. I like it. Ive owned a few BMW coupes since 1992 , all bought new. Plus a dozen other miscellaneous middle class cars.
I have the m440i no one has ever complained about the grill in real life, people have literally got out there cars and complimented it, a lady came up to me out of no where and said she loves it nothing but compliments
Love his 1987 Casio wristwatch! 2:19 So hipsterific! Greetings from NYC!
QUESTION: do you prefer combustion engine cars with bigger grills, or electric cars without grill?
I like the grille with the dark surround like the one in this video. Not so keen when it has a thick chrome edge to it
Nice review as always!
Love the new grill. In a few months, you will get used to it.
Love my garbage can. After a few months, I got used to it.
Front grille of today’s cars just keep getting bigger and bigger
It looks great & refreshing. I got hyped up with it. It's much better off than others that looks more feminine around. I wonder why majority don't pick apart on a particular model from other luxury automobile around that harsh? Anyway, it's out of sight.
From it's "Marmite" nose, I hate marmite but I like this nose, to its tail end, the new 4 series is a damn good looking car. And it continues inside too.
Would I buy one? Definitely :-))...
Will I buy one? Not yet. A private pension doesn't compensate for a car like this :-((...
As for practicality. I drive the cars I own so I never sit in the back of them. As such, I'm not bothered about rear seat leg or head room ;-))...
Looking seriously at buying this for commuting etc, was either this or mx5 rf (which is cheaper but a little smaller)
Good review 👍
@What Car? How are these BMW LED Headlights compared to the Laser Headlights?
What’s with the car fashion for massive front air ducts like some fighter jet?
Heard this before, the old 4-series being more expensive than the 3-series without any rational justification. I did notice though back then when I was configuring both the 3 and 4 series to my liking, (I was planning on ordering one of then) that when you're planning on adding a lot of options, similar configured 3-series and 4-series did cost almost as much. It's just that a bit more stuff was standard on the 4-series. Also some options on the 4-series were slightly less expensive than on the 3-series?? Hmm ...
Great review, I’m driving a 435D at the moment and I think this could be my next motor. As for the grille, it’s growing on me and I really want to see one in person, it it’s ticking a lot of boxes!
I’ve seen it in person... still bad
I hated it when it was announced and I saw the pictures. I've seen it a couple of times in real life now and it absolutely kills in certain color combinations :)
I’ve seen it in person...looks good
In person this car is beautiful and very different. Love it
In person its looks good
My partner purchased 4.20i model, he finds it amazing and value for money. it is loaded with technology, looks sexy and is definitely a head turner. Artic blue colour is a good look. smooth drive no complaints so far.
Is the Grand Coupe the new design. Looked like the old car on their website?
Great content...!
Love it all. Very close to ordering. Just waiting to finalise the deal.
Question: whats the height of the vehicle like over speed bumps in city driving? Please tell me you don't scrape the tarmac over the bigger speed bumps. Thanks.
@온라인카지노텔:tgagent58 😱😱😱 In English?
Did they get a radiator central hearting engineer to design that grill? still it will be easy to get a replacement just go down to B&Q
What color is this if u don't mind
Just bought the 430d xdrive version. Perlecent white all chrome blacked out. Looks great and even better to drive.
Great choice, I’m about to pull the trigger on one 👍 think maybe the sweet spot between m440d and the 420 and want x drive 👌🏻
430i is very cheap in Europe. But the price in Thailand is 130,990 $. It is very expensive because of the import tax.
An extreme refresh that will take a while but while event grow on you in my opinion. Interior is a different story altogether. The competition however indeed looks more refined - front fascia exterior. Take a peek @ the A5 and C class coupe.
Very sharp car and thanks for the great review
👍🏼 will get mine soon !
Frameless Windows: 3 series convertible.
Bulge over the arches: 3 series E9x.
This is the like the 6 series being cancelled into the 8 series for more money. Just feel like I'm getting ripped off.
These 'exclusive features' already existed in previous 3 series.
Great review,
The face is "softer" than the others yes, but if you are looking for a "grown up" car that's refined and fast as all hell, dare I say even a "true M car", completely worth every frigging dollar, getting into this cockpit is insanely great feeling, puts all the "grille" comments to shame, drove an older one, NOTHING like this one, NOTHING. Felt old and antiquated. Which, it is...
So is this better than the F32 gen?
Big grill or not, the 4 series does look great overall. The grill can look better in darker exterior colours. Merry Christmas to you Doug and hopefully many more reviews in 2021. :-)
Love this car it is beautiful
I had one as a courtesy car the other day, a 2021 420i Gran Coupe G26. I liked the looks, the comfy m sport seats, the heads up display on the windscreen, the four doors, the Harmon Kardon audio, the ride quality, the cruise control system, the wiper washer system, the indicator stalk is normal to operate not like my E90. I disliked the digital square speedometer and instruments, idrive has always been overly complex and distracting imo, I'm only 32 but so many screens and options does my head in. It was quickish, but it was so smooth that it didn't feel quick, I guess that's due to the 8 speed auto, maybe in manual mode it's better? The soundtrack was pretty non existent, the steering was too light, the brake pedal was abit mushy though the brakes were effective, the economy wasn't very impressive unless driven like a saint but I guess it's about as good as a modern heavyish 2.0 petrol auto with 181bhp could hope for. All in all its a good car but in my opinion too much tech and some fundamentals that should be better considering its a £45-£50k car.
As predicted the new looks of the 4 has slowly started gaining acceptance... The reason is simple...you just don't like the look of a car just because it's good.. But for the reason it is standing out from the current crop of Bmws...its worthy.
This new M4, makes other BMW looks outdated. this should be the next BMW design language in all their cars.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. Looks very nice 👍 In M Sport Trim and I do particularly like the design
I think the grille looks really beautiful if it's in black, better than the old grille, however at first I didn't like it , but now I think it's great.
I've been looking at the gran coupe for my next one after my e92 coupe. I've seen some real sexy ones
A good review i enjoyed watching. A noticeable improvement!
I don't really like the grill but I think the rest of it is stunning
I love it, grill and all but that is the absolute perfect colour for that car in white say,think it drops a bit But my main issue is the shape of the infotainment binnacle, did someone over order a boat load back in 2010? And need to get rid of them? Seriously BMW if I looked into this car, I'm of to buy a Merc
I love the new 4 series especially from the front. That giant grill is spot on, brilliant. However, I'm conflicted between buying a new 4 series 420d and a new c class 220d. Please advise which one is better? I understand they are two very different cars altogether
Making the grille black instead of chrome is a big help, it's much less obviously horrible.
(if you can't remove it, hide it).
Needs a much bigger number plate
I tried a lot to like this new 4 series but it’s just disgusting that grill
Bmw killed this model because of that and probably they will see it in their sales
No kidney grille and Hofmeister kink. Losing its BMW DNA.
You may not like this interpretation of the kidney grille, but to say that it doesn't have one when it's BMW's return to kidney-shaped grilles that is so controversial makes that a weird comment to leave.
It depends on the colour of the car. It looks best on a black car, in my opinion.
One of the greatest BMW ever designed.
Very true. It's awesome.
Grrrr you did not have the idea to flash headlights to show us whether interior lights work or not !!!
😎 love my new chariot. ❤
Probably a good car. If you can live with the looks.
That grille 👎
Like one commenter said, it needs a smaller kidney grille and a Hofmeister kink to make it a real BMW.
Also, I notice the presenter always grips the wheel at quarter to three. Just like how the racing drivers at Fifth Gear do it 👍
I'm not sure why you would say "3 year warranty" so proudly. It is 3 years you are talking about. How about 10 year warranty if BMW is confident about their reliability. BMW has perfected their parts to fail after certain time so that people have to take their car back to be fixed and pay hard-earned money.
Love the looks, about time we have a face lift !
I have the current 3 Series and I absolutely love it! At first I really didn’t like the 4 Series but the more I see it the more I love it! Although the 3 Series does look better!
I appreciate the interior, the driving capabilities, iDrive and the back of the car. The rest is an eyesore. Especially the front grill ofcourse but also the lowered feature line on the side makes it look a bit frumpy and random. I still like the feature line of the 3 series coupe and first gen 420 series best.
Front looks like an old Pontiac, lol.
Yes dude that’s exactly what I was thinking it doesn’t look like a bmw it looks dumb I’m glad we agree
I am in love with this car!!!!
This 4 series is beautiful!!! Especially rear end!!!! Let alone driving dynamic!!! The Best in class!!!!!👍
Looks good ...but like the 6 series coupe...looks like someone dropped something on it and squashed it...not quite right somehow
The looks are definitely growing on me.
This is a gorgeous car!
People always say this grill is growing on me, but I don't need to in the 3 series, cuz it looks very good at the beginning, unlike the 4 series
Could you pixelate that front end please 😂
Best I’ve seen a 4 look, and yes ( come at me) I would love a 4 door. Grand Tourer... last gen had one.
I am BMW fun, but the grill is horrible!!!
Think i prefer the 2 series gran coupe!
The grille won’t grow on me, but the host does. Honestly, he’s quite attractive!
Bigger grill to justify bigger price !
It suits you Doug
It’s a sexy car but needs better comfort dampers.
👍 And I've bought one.
Nice!
Lucky you! What colour combinations did you get?
@@danceallurlife3508 Tanzanite Blue with black leather and blue stitching, shadowline & executive pack, everything on it :-)
I have a black one.
its Beautiful its BMW
Why would the small petrol hold its value better than the diesel?
Not being a smart ass, I actually want to know why. Is that a UK thing?
Diesel cars have been demonized by European politicians and branded as the major perpetrators of CO2 emissions, global warming and cancer. They’re being slowly banned from cities and taxed out of circulation. Quite sad actually as they’re still the best engines for people who travel a lot of kilometers.
The new 4 just looks amazing. I can't wait for the release of the gran coupe. That's the one for me. 🙂
The grille in Chrome would be unsightly. Now in black, it is quite doable.
Wow..omg!
Que pasada
That grill is a big no! 👎
Black disguises the grille really well. That would be the one to go for. Black on black.
The result of the author's survey on the mouse teeth front design is incredible. But give a car the design of a garbage can, write "BMW" on it and offer it at a high price, and the brand believing crowd worships it and snatches it from your hands.
(Some of the people will, in addition, give recommendations in what color the garbage can will look best.)
Two words : shower & curtain.
Bmw is really falling behind in terms of the interior design and tech offering
I'm sure it drives really nicely, but I would rather people don't point at my car and laugh everywhere I go thanks very much.
People laughing at a bmw ? No all i see is ladies giving me looks and guys looking mad
What a beautiful elegant car!
Front end is something that even a mother couldn't love
Exactly
Mean looks..
Hideous. Thank goodness I can't see it from the wheel.
👎 Would look even more horrible on a light coloured car.
