    I own this vehicle and it’s still my daily driver in 2020. Couldn’t be happier and affordable maintenance

    Did you just refer to this car as Miss Piggy with the top up? I totally disagree. This car is a beauty with the top up and down. Get a clue man!!

      @12DreamsFull Рік тому +1

      Exactly! I was just about to check him for this myself until I came across your comment. I had to hit rewind to make sure he made such a dumb comment. He must've been drinking right before he did this video.

    still looks good with the top up IMO

    So, tell me again.. Is 4 better than 3?
    I watched, and watched again, but sadly found no such assessment!

    First car test that fails to tell how the damn thing drives..

  • @choconsingapore7360
    @choconsingapore7360 3 роки тому +1

    its even more beautiful with the top up....in fact...it looks the Best with the top in transition from top down or down up.....

  • @v1los
    @v1los 10 років тому +5

    After reading the title of this review, i was expecting a comparison between the 3 & 4, but there was none! So is 4 better than 3?

  • @idrummerboy13

    is it just me or this review blows. Poor 435....

      +The Fast Lane Car Most assuredly, this review blows.
      Its like you seeing a hard top convertible for the first time, the way you obsess over how fast it opens. There is no detail about the clever engine technology, transmission, body strengthening. That is a gorgeous car top up or down WITH HEAD SPACE IN THE BACK SEAT for adults, Roman. BMW was innovative and excellent to design the top up like that.

    • @Philmoscowitz
      @Philmoscowitz 7 років тому +5

      It blows. This guy's voice almost put me to sleep 60 seconds into it. And he's got bad taste if he thinks it looks like Miss Piggy with the top up. It looks freakin awesome.

  • @FreeRsGuides

    Why did BMW put a badge on it saying "luxury", that would be pulled off if it were my car

    • @jonathancharles21
      @jonathancharles21 10 років тому +4

      Why wouldn't they? They put "M" or the M stripes for the M3,M4, M5 etc and M-sport models. The luxury badging is just another way to differentiate between the models.

  • @jonbob4798
    @jonbob4798 10 років тому +2

    I currently have a 535 but I really want a convertible and the 6 series is out of my price range so this is perfect for me.

  • @nosmosdad
    @nosmosdad 9 років тому +13

    This "review" is a waste of 6 minutes of your life. Can't believe he drove in circles to prove you could lower the top while the car is moving.

    • @XaxtonRevolution2
      @XaxtonRevolution2 8 років тому

      +SD Sreve Yeah, he's driving it at 1MPH when he activates the mechanism; if he was driving it at 60, and the mechanism could handle it, then I'd be impressed. I do think that hard top convertibles look cool though; they make the car look like it's transforming. I don't know why -hard top convertibles- didn't catch on in 1935.

  • @pgbollwerk
    @pgbollwerk 8 років тому +2

    I can't help but be confused by this quick review. At no point does he answer the question "Is (the) 4 better than (the) 3?"

  • @mhamedosama
    @mhamedosama 10 років тому

    This is actually is really nice review! I have always been a great fan of yours and have seen many of your great videos! Keep it going

  • @2xxxxvipers
    @2xxxxvipers 9 років тому +7

    By far the worst car reviewers on UA-cam, more concerned with 0-60 times then how the car actually drives. Do us all a favor and stop or actually talk about how the car drives. Watch a few Chris Harris or smoking tire videos to see how it's done.

  • @tuolumne9
    @tuolumne9 10 років тому +3

    I think it looks really good with the top up....YMMV

  • @Nomimasubiru420
    @Nomimasubiru420 10 років тому +5

    I'm going to disagree, I think it looks a lot better with the top on. It just looks weird with it down.

    The car might be a stunner, but that sweater Roman is wearing needs to go back to the early 90's or maybe even the 80's :P

    • @MrKeyboardCommando
      @MrKeyboardCommando 10 років тому +1

      MrChevypower You've grabbed hold of the wrong end of the stick. I object to the sweater. Roman wearing it merely brought it to my attention.

    • @tuolumne9

  • @XaxtonRevolution2

    Is there -a risk of the trunk contents coming out of the car or
    jamming the hard top mechanism- while retracting and extending -the hard top, itself?-

    • @xn7331

      eh, to be fair it is a hard top. so it's really heavy.

  • @marc1093280
    @marc1093280 10 років тому

    Every BMW except for the 2-series need to go on a 500 lb weight loss. The 4-series is pretty heavy for a BMW.

  • @RobBoothAutomotive
    @RobBoothAutomotive 10 років тому +1

    The white doesn't do it any favors however as you can see all of the panel gaps, especially in the roof. A darker color would give it a more streamlined look.

    great, now the new 435i coupe and convertibles make the e92 and e93 335i coupes and convertibles look outdated

  • @dieselngoungou1465
    @dieselngoungou1465 10 років тому

    Why not pay a little more to get an M3 instead of paying nearly $90,000 Canadian dollar for this model? Its just overpriced. I chose M235i after test driving M235i, 335i and 435i with M package. I saw a 428i in a local BMW dealer listing $72,000, I asked why. The sales guy didn't even know.
