After owning a 2020 M340 I opted to get an Audi S4. After someone rear ended that and it was thankfully totaled, I bought an S5. Love it. I did cross-shop the M440 since it’s basically an M340 like the S4 is an S5. The sportback accessibility is the nicest feature of both the M440 and S5.
@@terelld9270 in my view it’s way too much tech and distractions are plenty with the two screens that look slapped on (although Audi has that issue with a single screen). I had a S3 before so no real experience with S5 SB. The M440 is a very heavy car and it feels like it. There are minute annoying things. Little things like how you raise volume from steering wheel is a button up and down. My Audi was a roller style control which made so much more sense. Having 99% of controls in the screen is in my opinion horrible. I like how Audi kept the physical controls. Go to Turo and rent one for a few days. I wish I had done that since I would have gone with the S5 if I had. Hope this helps.
THANK YOU BRIAN, I ORDERED THE BLUE I440 4 DOOR COUPE!!!!! WONT GET TILL DEC , I CANT WAIT , THANK YOU FOR THE AFFIRMATION ON THIS CAR , OMG FELL IN LOVE W/ IT WHEN WE SAW IT IN THE SHOW ROOOM , GREAT EXCITING VIDIOE !!! THANKS AGAIN !!
The only car reviewer prefering black car. I was wondering why until i saw you playing Evanescence. The car is beautiful and that's hard ti see in black paint.
I had a similar problem with Apple CarPlay when I first got 3 Series, wouldn’t connect, kicked me out etc, but it seems to have gone away? I don’t know if there was something in one of the software updates, but now it connects every time.
I just got mine yrsterday, exact same color, I sold my evo x mr tuned fbo to around the same power level, of course the evo was faster because of the weight advantage, but it was a one trick pony, the Bmw m440i gran coupe xdrive is the grownup version of that car, when I bought my evo I was 30 years old, now with the bimer I am 40.
Hello Brian. Another great review. The B58 inline turbo 6 is a jewel. One of the best BMW engines. For the value, the M440i grand coupe xdrive or the M304i xdrive is probably the way to go. They both offer practicality, performance and luxury. That is why I am now in the process of buying my M340i xdrive at the end of the lease. Brooklyn Grey and every variation of if by other manufacturers is the hot color. But for a more elegant color combination for the M440i xdrive grand coupe I suggest Tanzanite Blue Metallic with the oyster interior and red brake calipers.
Thanks! For me, I'd go with the M440i for the hatch (snowboard, bikes, golf clubs, etc), but you know I really dig the M340i. Another super underrated car. The blue would be a great spec. Very elegant.
@BrianMakse that is the color combination of my M340i xdrive. But partial to the Tanzanite Blue. We also got our X6 m50i in that color. Thanks to your review of the x6 m50i was the final nail in the coffin for us to pull the trigger on the purchase. Love your channel and the work you put into the reviews.
BMW just needs to put greater effort into making these vehicles last past 100k+ as does Toyota otherwise they could be wonderful vehicles. I do agree that their quality control is horrendous.
Ice BMW reviews are getting more and more rare! I know that some don’t get the “4 door coupe” thing, but I do.
The 4 door coupe shape works better on a car than a crossover!

I got the 2024 M440 gran coupe. I wish I had gone with the S5 sportback.
@arainla why's that? I had a 22 s5 sport back that was totaled and I'm considering the 24 m440i. I think the tech looks way better than the audi

Crazy, right?
Reviewing a BMW M440i while listening to Down Rodeo is so tasty.
What did I do? I don't remember!
I had a similar problem with Apple CarPlay when I first got 3 Series, wouldn’t connect, kicked me out etc, but it seems to have gone away? I don’t know if there was something in one of the software updates, but now it connects every time.
Who else noticed the Evanescence song on the infotainment? cool
What did I do?
@@BrianMakse good song mate
Followed by Pantera!
Was planning to get one for my son , but seems the headroom and adaptive cruise is compromised, so this one is out

My dream car 😊
Worthy.

Great review Brian. I love my 23 M440 with the I drive 7 equipped with the adaptive cruise control system. Fun car as a daily.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks!
Prices went stupid, lots of cars will be rotting on lots.
BMWs are complete trash. Plastic engines and plastic interiors.

This was a refreshing review. Definitely subscribing.
