What a great review and so right on the money. I had a 2015 435 GC- M Sport and LOVED it but let it go in 2017 cuz I wanted a real Coupe. But I have come back to my first love- a 2019 430i M sport. I was going to get the 440 but you are correct- whatever they did with the 4 cylinder is pure Teutonic magic. It IS 90% of the 6 cylinder. The weight is slightly less with the 6 and even though the HP/Torque numbers are absolutely average- the 430 is just perfect for daily and highway trips and oen is never wanting for speed or grunt to merge etc. Just effortless. One thing FOR the 6 cylinder though is while the 430 is 90% of the 440 in terms of speed and pulling power, the 440 is 80% of the gas mileage. The 4 cylinder is obviously better, BMW did a great job with the gas mileage of the 6 for having 72 more HP. Kudos to BMW on both engine variants. Another thing I LOVE about the F32/36 are the seats that you kinda didnt- OMG are they perfect- comfy and sporty and beats my weekender Merc SL550 by miles. One thing I dont like about my car is that 2019 is like the last of the BMW "Ugly" infotainment- wont elaborate and I do have Apple car play but lets just say BMW made huge upgrades in 2020 models that make this look very "old" NOT a deal breaker and is "digital enough" for me. I also personally like the M Sport front fascia and suspension and the 19's- a bit stiffer than with the 18s for sure but again not bad at all- it after all a "sporty" BMW- My Wife has an M2- that can be punishing sometimes- this is smooth as butter in comparison. Oh and I DO LOVE your red interior. Great Review- I have Mineral Gray the BEST gray in the bizness IMO but white was my second choice- just couldn't find one with low enough miles for me. Thanks again for the review
I had a chance to drive 230i with B48 engine (252 PS and 350 Nm) and 440i with Power and Sound Kit (B58 engine, 360 PS and 500 Nm, compared to 326 PS / 450 Nm for a standard 440i without this kit). The 30i feels very "springy" from stand still, so you press the gas pedal and the thing goes away in that springy way, very nice feeling. However, during typical city drive, say 50 km/h, and then you want to floor it - the engine has to think for a little, the turbo needs to spool, then it goes. It still accelerates nicely, but there is this small delay and THAT is the primary difference, that rolling start acceleration. The B58 however, with that MPPSK, is just flying. Literally flying. It reacts on every 1 mm of the gas pedal input, every touch translates to a massive pull, accompanied by an absolutely fantastic sound of this inline 6-cylinder engine. Whatever the speed you are driving with - doesn't matter, you press the gas pedal, it pulls. I do have two videos from my test drive from 2018, my camera was getting bad at the moment, but the sound is just sick, here they are: ua-cam.com/video/STMlml2QC0s/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/1ZhdbKWpcTM/v-deo.html
I test drove a 2015 435i gran coupe a few days ago, and I loved the practicality of the hatchback. I'm seriously considering buying one. One beautiful and fun to drive car.
I had my 18 F32 440xi M Sort for 2 years now and I love the car.. Previous was a 11 E92 335xi, good car as well but the 440 is a different beast. You should have went with the M sport option the look alone is worth it. Not feeling the front bumper of the Non M models.
Lololol that's funny but nah no turn signal fiascos here, just a normal turn signal in the new 440i cars. Ticking sound was a very easy fix, just a plate that sits behind the wheel hub that needed to be replaced was fixed in a day
Awesome! I was looking at some CPOs 2017 440is and stumbled upon your channel, good stuff. Only problem is this coronavirus thing is having me pause before I pull the trigger on the purchase 😥. Found some good deals tho, less than 30k miles going for about $30k.
very interesting points you bring up here that i haven’t heard in any other videos, like at all. Quite the insight you’ve got, i’ll definitely be following more
Hey thanks so much my friend that really means a lot. Glad you found this video useful. Will be filming a part 2 soon just been super busy with the other car reviews. The issue I had was a friction plate that sits behind the wheel bearing tho. Dealership fixed it for me in a day
What a great video man! Instead of typical technical BS, you provided a lot of practical insights and differences between 3-Series and 4-Series, which I loved. Just the typical stuff that the owner would know, but the reviewer won't - love that.
BMW stopped delivery of 2020 models in end 2019. the dealer recommend the new M340i but it was just too expensive with all the high tech that I didnt really need at all, and the steering wheel was ridiculously fat and bulky.. seats also didnt fit like this gen. seats. So after 8 months I finally found a good condition used 440i GC with a good deal. i loved my M135i/ M240i but it was time to move on to a bigger car with more doors & luggage spacewithout sacrificing design, so this will be the perfect car for the family..
sinjin K different market has different situation. i live in Tokyo & couldn't get an order. But it turned out lucky because I found a great quality used with tremendous bargain due to Covid19 sales plunge so I saved millions(JPY) afterall!! cash is king during this uncertain time..
My 440i with M sport feels like an early 90s suburban in the rear when trying to drive spirited. I agree with how much better the 3 series drive. However, you can't beat the body lines. I hate to love mine.
I test drove a '19 440 GC and it felt a little heavy in the front due to xdrive. I loved the car though. In the end, I ordered a '20 440i 2 door coupe. Great review.
@@B.GriffMusic I love the 2 door. The 4 series is the best looking coupe in my opinion. A 4 door gives you a deeper trunk though. If I needed the extra room, I'd just go for a X series BMW. Try to test drive both before deciding. Good luck Griff.
Yeah, on that folding mirror thing, that is something that frustrated me at the time when I had my 4 series convertible. The problem is BMW with its optional extras! You have to pay to get that folding mirror thing BUT in order to get them to fold in when you lock the door, you also need the comfort access pack! It was the same with the roof apparently although things got even worse there as the new ones then wouldn't have even had that due to someone sueing BMW for wrecking their roof, so they removed it. Big lesson....always check and double check the options. And even then, by the time it comes laws could have removed options.
Great video. Stylish car, too. At first I thought that the clicking noise you described was due to a bad C/V joint or boot. It is a problem that occurred on an Audi I have-identical scenario. After some research with some online forums, I think the ticking could've been due to a steering component, either a spindle or possibly a coupling. But in many cases it appeared to be the steering rack was the issue (according to the forums). I'm curious to find out what it is.
I just bought a 2018 440xi gran coupe, CPO with about 19k on the clock. Having the same clicking, should I bring it to BMW and say it’s the plates you had an issue with? Thanks!
how about 420d is it reliable? I heard that the engine is loud but execpt that is it worth to get or should I choose 520d 2016 model, thanks for making this video it was very helpfull ❤
The 2.0l diesel doesn't do just for this car. It had good torque however it lacks Highway power. The fuel economy is good however you will miss the power of the gas issue
One other question, are the 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i with an inline 6 cylinder and B58c engine a good vehicle? One for sale with 22k miles, but the dealer still wants about 67k
Idk…. I love the car, I love the model, but I’m sooo… suspicious about buying a BMW for their issues… oil leaks, gasket leaks, turbo fails, constant sensor replacements, clicks and clacks like you mentioned… idk man
Hey whatsup bro, nice video review. I’m in the process of buying this car but it’s a 2020. Or either a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L 🤦🏽 both nice looking cars. But hard decision right now. And I’ve driven the 2017 430i and I fell in love with it bro. So I’m sure I’ll love the 2020. But what you think between the two if you had to pick?
Thank you for the comment on getting in and out. I'm 58 and I hate bending down to get in a car. Really like this car, but goin with SUV, joining the herd.
Nothing wrong with that sir I certainly started to see the appeal of SUVs certain ones look really good but also getting in and out is much easier you can just slide on in easily enjoy your new purchase my friend!
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks Kevin, I"m really leaning towards Mazda CX-30, dirt cheap leases. I love the looks of 4 sieres and I love the 2021 GIANT grill, crazy no?
CX30 is a nice little ride its like a lifted up Mazda 3 i like the quality of their cars for the price. If you like something like a 4 series then a 5 series might be something to look into as well mid to full size luxury cars sit pretty high and BMWs are pretty good to lease hack. Another SUV you may like could be the Acura RDX
If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, than NO. My first BMW was a RWD and it was a mess in the snow. I'm in NJ and our winters are hit or miss but if it hits than RWD will be a chore to drive, you would need good snow tires and a shovel.
Hi There, over here in the UK if you close your car with your key fob & keep pressing for 3/5 seconds on the lock button it automatically folds your wing mirrors & when you open your car your wing mirrors will automatically open!! Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏🙏🙏
Just tried your tip today unfortunately does not work here in the states but I did find out that holding the unlock button puts down all the windows and opens the sun roof haha. Did not know about that with this car
No I really don't especially if you do a lot of city driving I genuinely don't mind the 4 cylinder however, 6 has a nice growl and top end power on highway is where the inline 6 shines
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks for the reply! I just put down an order for a 430iGC loaded, and will be doing 90% city driving but I was unsure after seeing extremely positive reviews on the 440i b58. I guess I will be more than satisfied since there is no real place to stretch her legs here :p
@@daCorasla oh yea dude the 4 cylinder turbo is still strong and honestly feels very close to the 6 cylinder in street driving you will be so happy driving this car even on the highway its very good. You'll smoke 90% of the cars on the road. Massive congrats on your new purchase my friend great choice
Dude do a review on the Saab 9-4X if you can find one in your area I want to see your impressions I don't know what you'll think about the engine it's a 2.8 turbo v6 it's related to GM's 3.6 but the 2.8 was the special engine
@@MeynMotorGroup I have a 2011 NG 9-5 Aero the Aero is the top of the line trim but mine has held up well the last generation Saabs ahead very well compared to other cars the cars gets a lot of looks my only issue is that some of the Saabs especially NG 9-5 and possibly 9-4X didn't have underbody protection so if you live in a state that uses snow salt there's going to be some rust. I also have a 2014 Kia Optima sxl as well just in case something happens but I realized that the last generation 9-5 and 9-4X never had any recalls which is great but one more thing if you review one yes some of the paint from the buttons might chip off remember when Saab made the 9-5 and 9-4X GM owned them so don't blame Saab for that 😂
Nice review Kevin! I didn't buy the Lexus GS yet lol I might pull a Dougie D and get a CarMax warranty Volvo S90. I'll be testing the Bowers & Wilkins in Volvo and the Revel ultima in the Lincoln. You ever try reviewing CarMax cars?
I don't know man. I have a 2016 328i (standard suspension) and I gotta say -- the car is really uninspiring and numb -- unless I'm hooning it at 9/10ths. And the 430i Gran Coupe I test drove this summer felt the same, IMO. The F30 generation 3 series doesn't do luxury that well NOR does it do sport that well, either. Everything feels half-baked to me, especially the suspension. And EVERY 3 series I've been in has rattles, including the new G20. I just returned the new G20 330i loaner back to the dealership and it felt like a much more engaging and polished car -- like what the F30 SHOULD have been. The G20 has the luxury and the sport mix mastered, IMO. Standard suspension was way better (M-sport suspension is garbage, BTW), the engine and trans are *telepathic*, it had WAY more power, the car is way quieter, seats go lower (which I need), stiffer chassis, better steering, and the thing was ROCK SOLID at high speeds -- like way more than my F30 (which already feels pretty stable). 80mph feels like 60. 100mph feels like 70 -- it's crazy. The worst things about the G20 330, aside from the rattle, was shutting front doors -- sounded horrible -- and some super low-effort attempts at hiding the front seat frame.
I def now need to try that new G20 at least the normal 330i. I was absolutely in love with your 2016 328i 😂 that’s crazy but I’m still glad you shared your detailed experience as it can help other viewers. I’ve been hearing cars feel numb for sometime now from journalists but idk this F30/F36 has just been super rewarding but I guess you have had yours for a lot longer. Yes the two 3 series cars def did rattle which was shocking to me so I know the 4 series is def going to start rattling as it’s a hatch Again thanks for sharing I am Going to pin your comment to the top.
@@MeynMotorGroup I didn't mean to invalidate your experience, or imply that my opinion is "right" and yours is "wrong", or anything like that. Your perspective and opinion is just as valid, and I respect and appreciate that -- love the channel and your reviews! Thanks for the reply. We're just talking about opinions here, so thought I'd toss mine out there, FWIW. Thanks for the kind response. Lots of love and best wishes -- keep up the great work and good luck with the 440i, fellow Beemer owner! Take care!
Lolol no no it’s not like that at all. I like the fact that you have a different opinion and this happens a lot with journalists and reviews. You watch one guy and he will say he loves something and watch someone else and they will not share the same sentiments. I don’t want the comment section to just be agreement your thoughts as an owner is EXTREMELY valuable and people should get a second opinion especially on expensive cars like this. All opinions are important and I am super happy you shared this
Haha they will never see it but I was kind of surprised that the thing didn’t extend, I never really use it tho 😂 I always hit my head on it when I move it to the side
Haha thank you sir and yea that’s nice for BMW people I guess. When the lease is up on this tho, I think I’m going to pull the trigger on that inline 6 Mazda sports sedan
@@Excalabur50 I want that as well but that is def a second or third car haha I couldn't stand to have a car like that or a sports car in general as my only car lol. Miata was a very rewarding driving experience
@@MeynMotorGroup I was just being a smartarse dude actually maybe the right car for you might be the new Hyundai Sonata that's about to be released or maybe even go the whole hog and get the 2020 G90!
@@Excalabur50 The new sonata is prob an amazing car but I saw a base model sonata and it legit looked like a Chevy malibu lolol New G90 looks legit but I'd probably just do G80 again with a v8 honestly. But again G90 is nice haha
Yea that is true but here in NC this video stuff is so looked down upon like this is not LA, if you walk around with a selfie stick here you are a freak so everyone's a bit conservative and questions what I do kinda want to move lol
@@MeynMotorGroup glad it does something right lmfao. I'm sending mine to the dealer Wednesday for oil change and warranty fixes hopefully. My trim pieces that trace the window to the tailgate are deteriorating and chipped up looking. Also hoping they can fix the hatch rattle . If they can do that it'll be a whole new car to me lmao. Other than that cheap sounding rattle, the ride is still very nice and very quiet
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah, I definitely need to check it out and compare (and before you turn it into an SUV or something ha). Holiday time was rough for me schedule wise but I'm opening back up now.
I don't really see the point of all the M crap I mainly liked this particular model because it didn't have any of that stuff but still rides on the rougher side despite it but I can tolerate this
Answer to the car issue....don’t drive it like a race car or you will be visiting the service center as long as you own it. Kia over a BMW? Not a chance.
Go test drive a Stinger and look close at the fit and finish, all the Lux features, and drive it man. It's a Great Car, period. Car and Driver in a 2020 review said in their review: in the Verdict section: Kia built a better bmw for less ! to get the same level of performance and lux. features, safety tech features in bmw, will cost you almost double and it really isn't much better of a car.. just has longer known name for sporty sedans... if watched many stigner reviews on here from the pros (not newbies like me) but the real pros here, 90% of them say it's pretty much a surprise and awesome
Well mainstream reviewers are a joke and car magazines are bought and paid for these "pros" are nonsense you should go do your own test driving for yourself better yet buy these cars they rave about
Exhaust Sports Auto thanx for the recommendation bro but I love to research on cars and love cars as a whole I’ll leave that up to u lol love to watch car reviews on Utube as well that’s why I’m locked into your great channel 👍🏾
Exhaust Sports Auto It doesn’t “effect” you, it doesn’t “affect” you either 😉 . But purists who pay high dollar for a 440i will be irked at the sight of non-functional exterior trim.
He’s actually wrong ,the 340s handing is better then the 4 series because of its weight distribution front to back and being the lighter car the 3 series get better times then the 4 series. And you can never get connected to the road when you have electric steering.

Not a problem my friend just happy I can provide value
Hold down the lock button and the mirrors should fold in (at least on the F10)
I can try that! I have to make an update vid to this anyways
In 2024 these 2020 models are going for a steal ranging from 25k-50k miles.
Still remember first time i saw a 4 coupe in 2015. Couldn't take my eyes off of it.

I’m getting a 2018 440i this week, should I opt in for extended warranty from bmw as the orbital has run out. The car has 51000km, I’m in Canada.
Only if it’s a pro rated bumper to bumper warranty
This or the Lexus Gs350, which would you recommend and why?
Gs totally different platform, 4 series vs lexus rc might be fair
I live in Wake Forest and I cannot find a good used one. Do you know of any?
Would you take a coupe 4 series over a 3 series
If price is not a problem, of course. The 4 looks so much better.
How is the maintenance cost?
Like all other BMWs $$$$$$$$
Lol @ “You eradicate 95% of the vehicles on the road”. That just sounded so funny like a Mad Max scene.
I just bought a 2018 440xi gran coupe, CPO with about 19k on the clock. Having the same clicking, should I bring it to BMW and say it’s the plates you had an issue with? Thanks!
Yes you should! Since your car is CPO they should do it for free similar to my lease car
@@MeynMotorGroup I definitely will! Also I love your channel! Great content! 👍
Humbled my friend, thank you!
how about 420d is it reliable? I heard that the engine is loud but execpt that is it worth to get or should I choose 520d 2016 model, thanks for making this video it was very helpfull ❤
The 2.0l diesel doesn't do just for this car. It had good torque however it lacks Highway power. The fuel economy is good however you will miss the power of the gas issue
One other question, are the 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i with an inline 6 cylinder and B58c engine a good vehicle? One for sale with 22k miles, but the dealer still wants about 67k
Which would you prefer, and why? Audi A7 vs this one?
Not the same class.
Two different cars. 440 compares to the Audi S5.
Idk…. I love the car, I love the model, but I’m sooo… suspicious about buying a BMW for their issues… oil leaks, gasket leaks, turbo fails, constant sensor replacements, clicks and clacks like you mentioned… idk man
The Uber rich have a solution for your problem, it’s called a warranty
What was the problem, did u ever find out Bc I have the same ticking sound
Check my pinned comment for the part 2 video!
The clicking noise also occurs on my F series 220d.
Bmw couldn’t fix it.
I had to give you a thumbs up when you said “I just wish it gave me the option of blowing up the engine” lol, great review though seriously. Thx
Lol glad you enjoyed that my friend
Is that the same engine that's in the supra???
Yes
Hey whatsup bro, nice video review. I’m in the process of buying this car but it’s a 2020. Or either a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L 🤦🏽 both nice looking cars. But hard decision right now. And I’ve driven the 2017 430i and I fell in love with it bro. So I’m sure I’ll love the 2020. But what you think between the two if you had to pick?
I would just try and get a new BMW 330i rwd at 6% off msrp and lease it used cars are still too overpriced
Thank you for the comment on getting in and out. I'm 58 and I hate bending down to get in a car. Really like this car, but goin with SUV, joining the herd.
Nothing wrong with that sir I certainly started to see the appeal of SUVs certain ones look really good but also getting in and out is much easier you can just slide on in easily enjoy your new purchase my friend!
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks Kevin, I"m really leaning towards Mazda CX-30, dirt cheap leases. I love the looks of 4 sieres and I love the 2021 GIANT grill, crazy no?
CX30 is a nice little ride its like a lifted up Mazda 3 i like the quality of their cars for the price. If you like something like a 4 series then a 5 series might be something to look into as well mid to full size luxury cars sit pretty high and BMWs are pretty good to lease hack. Another SUV you may like could be the Acura RDX
Would you recommend this with RWD?
If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, than NO. My first BMW was a RWD and it was a mess in the snow. I'm in NJ and our winters are hit or miss but if it hits than RWD will be a chore to drive, you would need good snow tires and a shovel.
I thought 440i was only in a coupe? WTF arent all 4 series coupes?
Ill get to that , a little bit later ✋
From what year is the car
2019
Hi There, over here in the UK if you close your car with your key fob & keep pressing for 3/5 seconds on the lock button it automatically folds your wing mirrors & when you open your car your wing mirrors will automatically open!!
Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏🙏🙏
Hey thanks so much for sharing that my friend great little trick! I appreciate you for stopping by and watching too take care
Just tried your tip today unfortunately does not work here in the states but I did find out that holding the unlock button puts down all the windows and opens the sun roof haha. Did not know about that with this car
I really like the way the 4 series looks but just can't deal with BMWs reliability.
Every new car will be reliable for the first 3 years tho
B58 can’t go wrong
do you think a 430i would be less than satisfying?
No I really don't especially if you do a lot of city driving I genuinely don't mind the 4 cylinder however, 6 has a nice growl and top end power on highway is where the inline 6 shines
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks for the reply! I just put down an order for a 430iGC loaded, and will be doing 90% city driving but I was unsure after seeing extremely positive reviews on the 440i b58. I guess I will be more than satisfied since there is no real place to stretch her legs here :p
@@daCorasla oh yea dude the 4 cylinder turbo is still strong and honestly feels very close to the 6 cylinder in street driving you will be so happy driving this car even on the highway its very good. You'll smoke 90% of the cars on the road. Massive congrats on your new purchase my friend great choice
@@MeynMotorGroup thanks man, I really appreciate it!!
Dude do a review on the Saab 9-4X if you can find one in your area I want to see your impressions I don't know what you'll think about the engine it's a 2.8 turbo v6 it's related to GM's 3.6 but the 2.8 was the special engine
I may like it a lot actually lol idek what to expect from a car like that. But I believe that’s what it is in your thumbnail how is yours holding up?
@@MeynMotorGroup I have a 2011 NG 9-5 Aero the Aero is the top of the line trim but mine has held up well the last generation Saabs ahead very well compared to other cars the cars gets a lot of looks my only issue is that some of the Saabs especially NG 9-5 and possibly 9-4X didn't have underbody protection so if you live in a state that uses snow salt there's going to be some rust. I also have a 2014 Kia Optima sxl as well just in case something happens but I realized that the last generation 9-5 and 9-4X never had any recalls which is great but one more thing if you review one yes some of the paint from the buttons might chip off remember when Saab made the 9-5 and 9-4X GM owned them so don't blame Saab for that 😂
I’ll see if I can get one they hardly exist in the used market in my area haha
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah I'm aware they are very hard to find but if you do find one let me know 👌
Nice review Kevin! I didn't buy the Lexus GS yet lol I might pull a Dougie D and get a CarMax warranty Volvo S90.
I'll be testing the Bowers & Wilkins in Volvo and the Revel ultima in the Lincoln.
You ever try reviewing CarMax cars?
Thanks so much my friend! New Volvo’s look nice for sure, lol carmax just told me to get out when I asked 😂
1:00 that BMW sign looks off-center
I don't know man. I have a 2016 328i (standard suspension) and I gotta say -- the car is really uninspiring and numb -- unless I'm hooning it at 9/10ths. And the 430i Gran Coupe I test drove this summer felt the same, IMO. The F30 generation 3 series doesn't do luxury that well NOR does it do sport that well, either. Everything feels half-baked to me, especially the suspension. And EVERY 3 series I've been in has rattles, including the new G20. I just returned the new G20 330i loaner back to the dealership and it felt like a much more engaging and polished car -- like what the F30 SHOULD have been. The G20 has the luxury and the sport mix mastered, IMO. Standard suspension was way better (M-sport suspension is garbage, BTW), the engine and trans are *telepathic*, it had WAY more power, the car is way quieter, seats go lower (which I need), stiffer chassis, better steering, and the thing was ROCK SOLID at high speeds -- like way more than my F30 (which already feels pretty stable). 80mph feels like 60. 100mph feels like 70 -- it's crazy. The worst things about the G20 330, aside from the rattle, was shutting front doors -- sounded horrible -- and some super low-effort attempts at hiding the front seat frame.
I def now need to try that new G20 at least the normal 330i. I was absolutely in love with your 2016 328i 😂 that’s crazy but I’m still glad you shared your detailed experience as it can help other viewers.
I’ve been hearing cars feel numb for sometime now from journalists but idk this F30/F36 has just been super rewarding but I guess you have had yours for a lot longer.
Yes the two 3 series cars def did rattle which was shocking to me so I know the 4 series is def going to start rattling as it’s a hatch
Again thanks for sharing I am
Going to pin your comment to the top.
@@MeynMotorGroup I didn't mean to invalidate your experience, or imply that my opinion is "right" and yours is "wrong", or anything like that. Your perspective and opinion is just as valid, and I respect and appreciate that -- love the channel and your reviews! Thanks for the reply. We're just talking about opinions here, so thought I'd toss mine out there, FWIW. Thanks for the kind response. Lots of love and best wishes -- keep up the great work and good luck with the 440i, fellow Beemer owner! Take care!
Lolol no no it’s not like that at all. I like the fact that you have a different opinion and this happens a lot with journalists and reviews. You watch one guy and he will say he loves something and watch someone else and they will not share the same sentiments. I don’t want the comment section to just be agreement your thoughts as an owner is EXTREMELY valuable and people should get a second opinion especially on expensive cars like this. All opinions are important and I am super happy you shared this
Very Nice Car 👌🏼
Thank you my friend and I appreciate you stopping by
good stuff kevin, can we get a review on the new ES, Camry v6 and Avalon TRD
Yes all cars I want to do badly!
14:37 The straight pipes were pleased with this part
Haha they will never see it but I was kind of surprised that the thing didn’t extend, I never really use it tho 😂 I always hit my head on it when I move it to the side
@@MeynMotorGroup the Corolla I'm using doesn't has them. You always think they're stupid until you need them
That’s true 😂 I kind of just use my hand to block the sun lol
Nice car dude, oh and some good news BMW are going to be including Android Auto to their cars in June 2020!
Haha thank you sir and yea that’s nice for BMW people I guess. When the lease is up on this tho, I think I’m going to pull the trigger on that inline 6 Mazda sports sedan
@@MeynMotorGroup I'm surprised you didn't say a Miata :)
@@Excalabur50 I want that as well but that is def a second or third car haha I couldn't stand to have a car like that or a sports car in general as my only car lol. Miata was a very rewarding driving experience
@@MeynMotorGroup I was just being a smartarse dude actually maybe the right car for you might be the new Hyundai Sonata that's about to be released or maybe even go the whole hog and get the 2020 G90!
@@Excalabur50 The new sonata is prob an amazing car but I saw a base model sonata and it legit looked like a Chevy malibu lolol New G90 looks legit but I'd probably just do G80 again with a v8 honestly. But again G90 is nice haha
Are those Persols?
Oh my glasses lol they are hugo boss had them for 4 years now
bad idea to buy this used?
CPO not a bad idea
This cars looks like the protagonists car of a reboot of Miami Vice. Damn you got a nice lease there
Yea I lucked out for sure but they will continue to give cheap leases on this car throughout 2020 because this will be getting revised for 2021
8:07 why do you keep looking around all sketchy bro
Cops streets are littered with them
Exhaust Sports Auto haha you’re filming a car review not a drug deal relax a little my guy
Yea that is true but here in NC this video stuff is so looked down upon like this is not LA, if you walk around with a selfie stick here you are a freak so everyone's a bit conservative and questions what I do kinda want to move lol
@@MeynMotorGroup no lies told with that comment bro. It’s a little better here in Charlotte however! Keep up the great content
Nice car! Not sure it will last “10+ years”.
With propper maintenance it will
crossing your arms and not looking in the camera signals a lot of insecurities
I think you’re projecting your own insecurities on to me weirdo
@@MeynMotorGroup no I just study this
Better than Stinger 6 months later?
Edit: got my answer
Lol 😂 Stinger has a place tho it’s a larger and more comfortable car I think than this
@@MeynMotorGroup glad it does something right lmfao. I'm sending mine to the dealer Wednesday for oil change and warranty fixes hopefully. My trim pieces that trace the window to the tailgate are deteriorating and chipped up looking. Also hoping they can fix the hatch rattle . If they can do that it'll be a whole new car to me lmao. Other than that cheap sounding rattle, the ride is still very nice and very quiet
Stinger is not a bad car it did a lot of things right I may get one in the future to review again. How many miles on your stinger?
@@MeynMotorGroup just hit 15,000 today.
Gotcha I think I only had like 4k miles I don’t drive much lol
It seems pretty sweet, I mean, its no S4, but you know... :)
Hey how are you my friend lol S4 would def beat this in a straight line no question but you still need to check this ride out sometime!
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah, I definitely need to check it out and compare (and before you turn it into an SUV or something ha). Holiday time was rough for me schedule wise but I'm opening back up now.
Haha 😂 I will never get an SUV even tho I kind of need it. I want to keep this and get an LC. But yea my friend just let me know!
@@MeynMotorGroup S4 is actually slower than the 440i. BMW underrates their horsepower and Audi overrates theirs.
im disgusted you didnt mod it
Ok
Dude you should of ordered your 440I with the sports plus package...
I don't really see the point of all the M crap I mainly liked this particular model because it didn't have any of that stuff but still rides on the rougher side despite it but I can tolerate this
Answer to the car issue....don’t drive it like a race car or you will be visiting the service center as long as you own it. Kia over a BMW? Not a chance.
Insightful stuff
Go test drive a Stinger and look close at the fit and finish, all the Lux features, and drive it man. It's a Great Car, period. Car and Driver in a 2020 review said in their review: in the Verdict section: Kia built a better bmw for less ! to get the same level of performance and lux. features, safety tech features in bmw, will cost you almost double and it really isn't much better of a car.. just has longer known name for sporty sedans... if watched many stigner reviews on here from the pros (not newbies like me) but the real pros here, 90% of them say it's pretty much a surprise and awesome
Well mainstream reviewers are a joke and car magazines are bought and paid for these "pros" are nonsense you should go do your own test driving for yourself better yet buy these cars they rave about
lol "giving me the option to blow my motor up"
😂😂😂"some farts" tf
Lol im saving up my money just to hear those farts.
👍🏾✌🏾
Thanks again for your support my friend!
Exhaust Sports Auto No problem bro 👍🏾
You should document your incredible LS430 you have I’m sure that would get hits for sure
Exhaust Sports Auto thanx for the recommendation bro but I love to research on cars and love cars as a whole I’ll leave that up to u lol love to watch car reviews on Utube as well that’s why I’m locked into your great channel 👍🏾
Haha damn thanks again you’re too kind
Those fake side vents though
What about them?
Exhaust Sports Auto I was hoping they’d be functional.
Doesn't effect me in the driver seat so I don't care much about the trivial things
Exhaust Sports Auto It doesn’t “effect” you, it doesn’t “affect” you either 😉 . But purists who pay high dollar for a 440i will be irked at the sight of non-functional exterior trim.
I 10,000% knew you would fall for the effect affect fiasco you're so the type to jump at that opportunity
He’s actually wrong ,the 340s handing is better then the 4 series because of its weight distribution front to back and being the lighter car the 3 series get better times then the 4 series. And you can never get connected to the road when you have electric steering.
That’s literally what I said in the video… do you need help my friend? Are you ok?
