The grill is AMAAAAZING! Everyone I know has been loving it.
I am pleased to read this because in days I will receive my new BMW M440i XDrive, in black with cognac/brown leather interior. 👍
Car and grill is beautifull, stop hating!
Yes it is very beautiful car
I won't go that far, but after seeing it in real life for the first time today I have to admit it's less hidious then expected.
That car is absolutely beautiful, I agree!!
Thank you!- for doing a review on the 420d, rather than another M440i review, which only a fraction of people will be buying. Great to learn more about one of the more accessible models.
No problem, we're glad that you enjoyed the review, we hope it was useful. It would be great if you could subscribe to the channel, if you haven't already. ^DH
Love the new grill and in a few months most current haters will too.
👍
Looks amazing and I love that grill 😍😍😍
For the first time, in this colour scheme, I can actually say that I like it. I’d eagerly awaited the M440i, so I’m happy that I’m finally at peace with that snout. (Not loving it- just at peace with it)
the entire car including grill looks amazing IN PERSON, not in pics or vids
It's a tricky car to photograph alright. People get used to the grilles, and with a number plate across them they don't look so bad. The rear quarter panel is a bigger design issue, as it makes the rear wheels look tiny. ^Dave
As a current 4 series GC owner for 5 years now, I like the looks - definitely looks better in person, and it’s something different. The keyboard warriors were never buying one anyway - it’s like bemoaning a new Ferrari 😏
I love the new grill
People are a bit more used to it now
I love the grill, I notice other brands going the same way, so maybe this is a new trend we have to get used to. When seeing a 4 coupé in real it is a very luxurious car, good rear visibility, the interior is excellent, they did a great job. The frame less windows are amazing but you need to get used to opening doors and not touching glass :D going to order a portimao blue and cognac interior tomorrow and with the option that gives a black grill. Only decision left to make is diesel vs petrol but I guess it all depends the distances you make. So much in love with this car !
Good luck!
I think I’m going for 430i. Best all rounder.
update to help potential buyers, since I now have it and it is just an amazing car, also technology wise it is a really big upgrade. Harman Cardon rocks!! Touchscreen i love it. Options that you can decide what it does and how fast excellent. I have taken all possible options for safety so it auto corrects in every way. Sometimes a bit too much but that is because I forgot to use signal indicators. :D in cruise control mode, it adapts speed very well, on any speed, even recognizes signs that were added, it reads them and adapts. Red lights though are still a human intervention. But... It breaks if the car in front of you breaks, it speeds up if you are too going too slow by itself. The on-screen display really rocks and when using GPS gives you very clear lane instructions which I just love. Amazing thing and very happy. Only two downsides but minor ones. If you want to open your door, you need a lot of space and if you park, well consider it is 4,7m. Enjoy! I sure am :) Every day ! ps: addicted to dashcam button haha
What else, i took adaptive suspension but I seem to switch back to sport anyway every time. Seems like it I am too much into sport mode. Ok there is a difference in feeling but I hardly ever switch to it so I shouldn't have taken it. It deals rather ok with roadbumps, just don't go 50km/h over them. but I did some at 40km/h and it can handle it.
If you are wondering if it normal that the car starts cooling down extremely now and then, like blowing hard, yes it is. It only lasts like 10 minutes. Not sure why it does that. but interesting. It seems to dispense all heat.
In my experience the voice commands never understand anything you ask but ok
Score: 86/100
(I had 4 bmw 3 series and an X1 and by far this one wins in everything but ok, kind of a different car... )
Saw it, drove it, and I’m debating on black exterior and rims, with either cognac or red interior.
Tough choice, let us know what you decide!
No question, either black or red 👍
I've heard the grill is optional. You can have it replaced by a chipboard or fibreglass alternative.
I love the overall design especially the front & the super design of the grill, BMW had lost their “Design Way” for a while and now they’re back with this design. I wilder if they’ll bring out a four door version as they did with the predecessor?
Hi JJ, w are 99.9 per cent sure that BMW will be showing us a five-door BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe next year. ^ Shane
Please add some info on pricing, which will be helpful
Hi Pras. We don't like to put pricing info into our videos as the data goes out of date so quickly. Our latest information on Irish pricing of the 4 Series can be found at www.completecar.ie/car-news/article/10130/Daring-new-BMW-4-Series-Coupe-outed but please note that will change on 1 January 2021 as new VRT rules come into force. ^ Shane
So drivers seats are just important in Coupe's? That's informative thanks.
: )
I love the grill
The grill grew on me, so much so that I've just bought the 430d in black of course. BMW went big and bold with the grill and I admire that, their competitors pretty much kept going with the samey grill designs but just bigger (yeah you Audi, boring).
People do seem to be getting used to it now
I love the stitching on the instrument cluster, dashboard, and on the upper parts of the door cards. Does anyone maybe know if this is standard kit or part of the individual extended leather option?
Hi there. I can confirm that this is standard. ^ Shane
Mi like it i could buy one
Do it!
Ski hatch aka B&Q hatch
: )
Are the black chrome grills fitted as original? Or was it a separate purchase or work?
A chromed surround is standard; the black is part of the M Sport Pro package. ^ Shane
@@CompletecarIe i wanna but that black grill parts because there is no option M pro pack in korea. could you tell me how can i buy this grill in another country?
@@양성현-m7u im sure you dan have those painted at a tuning store or so in your area
The 3 is the better looking car, more notably in the rear
What is M sport PRO? Never heard for pro?
Hi David. It’s a new trim level, an extension of the M Sport specification that adds a unique look and more equipment. It debuted on the 4 Series. ^ Shane
@@CompletecarIe thanks for clarification
@@davidzvezda it's country dependent tho, in the Netherlands where I live it's called 'M Sport Plus Pack' and includes different bits and pieces.
It's not impossible, maybe just do a review without mentioning the grill, It would set you apart from all the other reviews.
Fair point, though it was a major talking point when this car came out.
BECAUSE MUST be WRONG do not buy it. As far you like to be disappointed. BMW is simply crap especially after sale service. Do not show others you can buy car which is faulty.
grill=yuck
Not a fan? Even with a number plate on it?
If you buy this car without a blacked out grill, I will laugh and point at your car
The C63 coupe makes this car look ugly AF. Only a mug a mother(BMW fan) can love.
Already used to the fact that the new C63 will have a four cylinder? :')
Coming from someone like me who owned a total of 7 BMWs in his lifetime, a car with an atrociously fugly grill like that will never belong on my driveway. Thanks, but NO.
BMW is turning into a victim of it’s marketing department trying to keep up with the trend and what other manufacturers are doing. You don’t buy a BMW because the front end looks like a Hyundai’s or an Audi’s or an F 150. Just keep it original, it’s that simple.
I think they try to appeal to a younger generation as well, ive never owned a bmw but love the brand (dad has one) but i really like the grill in some color combinations, the m4/m3 looks fantastic.
BMW started this terrible trend with diesel engines unfortunately :(
