  • I've wanted to get behind the wheel of this car for a while. It's a BMW 435d X-Drive M Sport that had been breathed on by the guys at Hartge. A new inter-cooler and engine remap takes the standard 3 litre twin turbo from 313bhp to 398 bhp.
    We call this the 'Hartge M4 Heartbreaker' ! It is so rapid and in this video I put it through it's paces in Comfort, Sport and Sport + driving modes. We also try out Launch Control and find out just how fast it can get to 60 mph...and it was FAST !

    My 370bhp F30 335d with AC Schnitzer performance upgrade and suspension is the best car I've ever driven... You didn't mention the difference in the gearbox in m/s mode compared to normal. it makes a huge difference to how the car drives. Also, adaptive suspension is a must have on this car. it truly transforms the car from cruiser to racer.

    Just collected my new 435 d xDrive M power today with most packages. Woweee. Hilarious a few people really want to race which is a bit sad and on the motorway the usual tailgater types just get left behind when the road is clear in front. They just back off pronto knowing they have no chance. Need to be careful these cars are quick with plenty of torque. One of the most unstated vehicles on the road today. He's right ignore the d on the badge at the rear. This review sums up the car 100% accurate, bang on and fair.

    Really got to put mine on here. Its a 435D Msport, Wagner Evo intercooler, Stage 2 remap with DPF removal, K&N induction and Stage 2 Gearbox remap. 435bhp on dyno and sub 4 secs 0-60. Since remap over a year ago its averaged 39mpg! These cars are so under estimated. God knows what it would do with Garrett turbo upgrade. Also had it lowered by 25mm, looks stunning, no horrible wheel arch gaps and handles like its on rails.

      sub 4 seconds? That should be hitting not much over 3 seconds at that power with the right surface and tyres. 3.5 seconds here and only at 410bhp. Got a hybrid big side turbo on but still needs tuning in. Old turbo died so had to be changed and that was my cheapest option funnily enough as my mate was selling it.

    Was a bit of a shock when I first saw this video a couple of years back. As at the time I had just bought a grey fully loaded 435d from Maidenhead BMW... sure enough it was this one, the last location in the BMW connected app made it a 99.999% certainty. Whilst the laser jammer was being removed (yep, so much for the 100+ point bmw used car check, 'defense mode activated' lol) by the dealer. They had the motherland scan the ECU block by block, as I wasn't happy that they flogged me a tuned car. Well if this car was tuned by Birds then they did a cracking job reversing the tune, which confused BMW as they said the intercooler was different in the video and that had been put back to standard. They were like why change the intercooler without tuning. So they couldn't figure it out, and the car didn't get flagged. So to keep me happy they agreed to fix a few things and ran the car for a year. Of course the first thing I did was put on some ACS springs to get rid of the crazy ride height... :)

    What a nice review! I've seen many times about this car's review.
    because this thing has been one of my bucket lists.
    I've been driving e90 320d which is the best car ever in my life.
    but as you already know the person wants to get something more!
    I just compare this car to f80 m3 which has too much different concept, the gas, style... and so on.
    What if you have a chance to get only one car, what you got?! and tell me the reasons.

      MPG figures in Comfort Mode are very similar to standard. High 40s mpg well achievable. Put it in Sport or Sport + and it still drives with good mpg until you put your foot down. Traction helped by the X Drive 4 wheel drive. This test was in the wet and didn't have any traction problems.

      Both of those figures are peak horsepower at a given gear and rpm. If the M4 has a road that allows it to stay in the optimum gear at the optimum rpm it will be faster than this car, however, the diesel has more power in most gears at most rpms and will be faster in most instances.

      And then what? Is launching a car in heavy rain the new metric? M4 does 0-60 in 3.7 and the 1/4 mile in 12.0s. This diesel, although fast, is not going to do that. So the phrase "an M4 can pull up next to you and you'll have it" is nonsense.

      i see where you are coming from but i can see his perspective. at a street race lets say you usually dont race above 70-80mph and that is where the m4 shines but the 435d has all wheel drive and 800tq that can probably get off the line as fast or maybe faster than a m4 take it to the drag strip or the track and it will get destroyed since its 4500lbs

      On what planet does a stock M4 do 0-60 in 3.7 seconds? Certainly not on this one. The AWD 435D will get off the line far quicker than the RWD M4, but once the M4 hooks up it will slowly reel in the 435D.

      m4 does 0-60 in 4.1
      435d does it in 4.7, before hartge add 25% to the power... I can believe it would be very close.
      Basically rwd vs 4wd. Would probably depend a lot on weather/available grip.

      I did 0-60 in the wet in 4 seconds flat...try doing that in a rear wheel drive M4. This car is easier to drive quickly for the everyday driver.

      mate sorry but your stupid, real word even a stock 435d gets away from an m4 at lights

      anything other then a dry sunny day his 435d will show a m3/m4 a clean set of heals. I had same problem in E60 M5 always struggling for traction. Now i have xdrive would never look back

      GarbisOnTheGo no the M4 is much quicker from traffic lights I know as I have M3 and my fellow director an Alpina more performance ...don't comment unless you have driven car..

    the "it would eat an m4 for breakfast" is a very silly and naive thing to say.

      All of which I agree with, none of which was specified in your original statement...now you're just bolting on attributes to help support your claim... =P
      In principle, thats the same as me saying, this 435D would eat a Nissan GTR for breakfast too! .....Because the gearbox had just gone bang and the driver couldn't afford the £14,000 repair bill.. haha
      Im a 435D owner btw, not an M4. Just thought it was a very bias and unfair thing to claim.

    Hi there pal, nice video. I have had a remap on the same car by celtic tuning and when I do hard acceleration, I get a lot of black smoke. Any ideas what it might be? EGR, air breather, excess fuel, your pal have any suggestions? (bearing in mind no uprated intercooler 387bhp). Cheers
