Great video. Loved the clips and your ease and knowledge . Congratulations on your son's achievement . Gorgeous car as well, and thanks for the trip down memory lane cause your right with every new models people hated them into love worship. And their architecture has always been fantastic driver focused quality.
Joe, I was thrilled to see your outstanding review of the BMW M440i convertible. Several reasons: One, your video confirms my choice in ordering an M440i Gran Coupe with the Shadowline black trim (on red metallic). I eagerly await delivery in a few weeks. Two, you touched on how the new 4-Series faithfully carries on the legacy of BMW 3-Series strengths in design and performance. I became a BMW owner after experiencing the unique road feel, balance, and practicality of the 3 Series. I've had a 2006 325i (E90), a 2011 328i (E92), and a 2019 440i Gran Coupe 4-door sportback (F36) -- still my daily driver. I also immensely enjoyed a '21 M340i for awhile. But I missed the slightly higher cargo capacity, smoother ride, and sleeker lines of the F36. So I'm going to try the offspring of those two designs, the '22 M440i Gran Coupe (G26). At first I was hesitant because of the grille, but the look is already growing on me. My other concern was the G26's increased size and weight. But that seems that is more than offset by the boost in engine power, the 48V hybrid system, and even better handling. Three, Congrats on your son -- I'm also a proud Cal "Papa Bear"! Ours is a sophomore in ChemE, now in Berkeley for the first time after an entire year of remote study. Of course, he also loves BMWs, but has to live without them for now!
Waiting for mine to arrive. Hawaii is my favourite destination that I have been to. BMW Hawaii sounds fantastic. BMW dealerships aren’t like that in the UK. Shane. If it weren’t for great cars there would be less customers. Thanks for the video. Awesome car!
I actually like the front grille- didn’t know so many people hate it. I own the 335i convertible now for 10 years and it still looks pristine. But I have been looking into new one. Sad they got rid of the hard top, but I like the added trunk space soft top offers. Don’t really get the grille hate. The reason I haven’t bought a newer convertible is because I was waiting for an exciting change like this model.
People bashing probably don't like the grill. It looks awesome, this is an awesome car! The new front is sick, and so are the new tail lights. I hated the tail lights on the previous version. The new interior is great too! Gonna get one for sure, but I never get the 1st year of new version, I let them work out the problems they find out about and get the 3rd year.
" I hate it. I will never buy one." Says the internet auto expert who has never bought a BMW. If you get the shadow line trim and a license plate will break it up, it is not too bad. I would have preferred a different look on front but the rest of the car is perfect.
Different look on the front would have made this look like every 4er ever. Designers have been working around bumpers for decades, this shakes things up just as Bangle butt did, will be interesting to see how many competitors follow this vertical>horizontal front end. BMW own Rolls Royce, they know grilles, go big or go home (Audi, Kia, Hyundai, Lexus, Aston, Ford). Rolls drivers have followed winged lady's butt for a century. Check 1970 Firebird, ALL grille! Except 2 headlights.

Thank you so much on a few levels Darryl, I really appreciate that!

That's a beautiful color combination Ed!
Kidneys are lungs now 😧

I bought a 420d Convertible just recently, wow! what a car goes very well and 65 mpg!

Thanks for taking a look Lexi Blue! Have a great time with your beautiful new BMW!

Very well done video Joe. I think the m440i convert may be my next car. BTW I love the new front end - I think it looks great
Congrats to your son for getting in!
Thank you so much soulful, that means a lot!
Thanks Joe!
We had a great time making it. Thank you so much!

You're amazing ❤️
Keep it up with the great videos!
Thank you Nathan!

You nailed it David!

Mr. Priest: I completely LOVE this car bumper to bumper, especially the front end. Those that dislike wouldn't buy this car anyway.
Many congratulations on you familys achievement..
God bless..
Ps when my crypto coins shoot... M440i immediately
Wow i saw more then 6 toyota 4runners then bmw on the test driving 😆🤣😂
The only color this new BMW design looks good is in black because it hides how hideous the front end is. Shame.. I’ll keep my 435 vert instead.
nah.. you just have bad taste. Black doesn't allow the lines of this car to shine. The new front is awesome.
Soft top and no AWD. Not great.
