I have had a 428i since 2015 and it just has 105k Miles on it and it's amazing, quiet and runs like new.
Yep. 2015 here as well - 95K miles. LOVE this car. Never had a single maintenance other than the normal tire and oil changes.
Looking to get a 430i now since I love it such much.
How has maintenance been? and if you still got it how is it?
i have a 2015 and just hit 30k miles lol AC compressor is shot though
@@liamleibowitz7731 Normal maintenance (only oil changes + tires) from 30K to 99K miles. I use the windows every time I drive too - no problem with those. Air has never gone out. I'm so pleased, but future problems are inevitable. Probably soon.
@@liamleibowitz7731Not too bad. Tires, brakes over the 10 years but nothing major. still runs perfect.
currently looking to buy a 428i, thanks for the review this helped a lot
I have a regular 428i coupe that I've had for about three months now and oh my god the door slamming!! People riding with me always SLAM the door and it makes me cringe. You don't need to close it that hard, please don't do that!!
Great channel and great content though, deff subscribing! Your production value is insane for being a small channel! It's great to see people appreciating this car cause I love mine. It's gorgeous and it's so fun to drive.
Exactly!! You feel my pain!
it's a huge pet peeve of mine too, i need to keep reminding friends not to do that. It's not a honda !
I just got mine 2 days ago. I picked my girl up and she slammed the door lol. Didnt know it was a issue for everyone🤣
@@dennisshyu6797yea cause hondas are better.
@@dennisshyu6797 And especially when they slam it by using the WINDOW to close the door rather than the door itself😂😂
Yeah about the outside sound, I have a 328 and I never noticed how silent it is in there until I was in my friend's car and I was like damn you can hear the tires on the road
When I got my 2015 428i, I took off all the door panels and added sound proofing - would recommend.
Your video helped me buy my 428i. Thanks bro
Hello, got any advices? I want to buy one too, anything i should worry about?
F33 Owner also [2015 428i MSport with sports seats].
Wanted a hard top convertible. I cross shopped Lexus IS convertible and the infiniti G60 convertible. Day to day living this kills the competition in regards to trunk space and rear passenger leg space so I got the BMW f33.
Pro's- BEST in class trunk space with TOP DOWN compared to other hardtops (Lexus IS and Infiniti convertibles). I can fit 2 carry one luggage while the BMW hard top is folded in the trunk!
-Best in class rear leg space compared to Lexus IS convertible and Infiniti G60 convertible. Good for quick 30min trips with adults around town or for small kids. I can sit behind myself comfortably for 30min trips.
Other minor nit picks- No temp "sync" to keep both sides same temp. If you still play cd's no "repeat" or "shuffle". Brakes are not too good for this heavy car.
Instead of painting the stock brake calipers, you should just save up and get the M-Performance brake upgrade. It's gonna cost some money obviously, but getting better brakes is never bad thing.
That is the plan in the future but I painted them for now while I’m waiting just to make it look a little better
@@Metoy3r For sure dude I feel it, great video too btw, I definitely agree with a lot of what you had to say.
@@Metoy3r so why i saw you say it was high maintenance lol
@@wavegod9387 when did I say that
congrats brother you made an excellent review, believe me better then pro sellers, and especially thanks for like/dislike parts, i m a little confused about bmw 428i , your experience helped me a lot, thanks again and again and again..
Damn bro for less than 200 subs this video is insane! Keep it up
i really appreciate that! I'm trying to make a bigger name for myself. It will come with time, i'm just going to try to keep delivering quality videos!
@@Metoy3r if you ever want to talk youtube analytics lets do it or even do a collab via zoom im down! hit me on IG. 👉🏾@evapors
3 years later 10k subs , that’s what happens when you stay consistent wish you more to come
@Gelahto thank you 🙏🏽
That’s a really nice and wholesome presentation. I’m looking at the 428i to buy and this helped me a lot what I need to look for since the one I’m looking has everything yours has only it’s not a convertible. Wish me luck!
Drive safely bro.
Dude the music test was the best 🤣 👍
What song is it?
@@alexhara67421.5 by 21 savage
Great review. Mine have Bluetooth for media and more. 2015. Neck warmer and fully packed. Freakin love my car
Great review brother thanks …. Hopefully I buy one this month 💯
Great review! Had my 428i coupe for two years and I just love it. Sound is not as good as a 6 cyl of course, but it compensates with fuel economy. Agree with the annoying audio Bluetooth missing. How did you upgrade it? How much did it cost? I would also add it is quite annoying that the system is not compatible with android.
Here is the link to the video where I explain everything. m.ua-cam.com/video/couc-Fkt9z4/v-deo.html
@@Metoy3r thanks man. Appreciate it!
Is the 428i a 4 cyl?
@Wealthrix222 correct 4 cylinder turbo
Biturbo I think
Thanks bro, checking out between a 335i and 428i. 👍👏👏
7:08 "You can heat up your seat, you can also heat up the passenger seat. I thought that was really cool." I see what you did there.
Thanks million bro , preciate this video, definitely looking forward to my own 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Do you still got it bro? How many miles did you have on it when you sold it if you did sell it? I seen a red one I like a 2014 428i with 83k miles you think I should pull the trigger ? Did you have any problems with the car motor wise? Clean video btw
Buy it broo
love the video man great video and good bumping to the music good wishes from Austria
Dope review
I would have to say that my 2015 428i Xdrive Gran Coupe is a little different but in all same overall. I just put 60k miles on my car and overall its a solid car. Thanks for your coverage of your car.
2015 Xdrive gran coupe $20k/60k miles good buy yes no?
@@044alord I would try and talk them down a little because my car to sell is 17k it has some blemishes but keep in mind the upkeep to keep the value of it inside and out. I traded in my 2014 Lancer for this car and it's like night and day the performance and ride of it. Just look at your pros and cons of it and make the choice. I am happy with my choice.
Thanks for this video, great review!
Thank you Antonio 👍
No problem 🙏🏽
You definitively have an upgraded Sound system, if it is pumpin. I got plain stereo, which is just boxes in the front (nothing in the sides, just the ones above center consol). Its the first thing I have to upgrade.
I wonder if the convertible has a different backseat area, but im over 6 feet tall and i have more space in the back, even though the front seat is adjusted to my size. And I have long legs!
Looking at a 428 or a 435, I know a bit of a jump in prices since it’s a 4cyl to a 6cyl but for sure a M package. Doesn’t matter what you get as long as it has the sports package. Definitely looking for a coupe no convertible but stil looking
I’m sure glad they made major improvements on the 2020 version. Cool video “As you can see” lol.
i8 owner here and fellow youtuber. just subscribed and hit the bell! locked in! I may pick one of these up!
had to follow after you starting bumping, thinking about turning this car into a project
It is a great car to make a project out of
In two years of owning the F33 how has maintenance been?
Maintenance has been pretty standard. Oil changes, spark plugs and fluid levels. Obviously changed tires a few times as well but no serious issues thus far.
Definitely fit all my groceries in my e93
Hey, I will be picking up my new 2015 BMW 428i F33 tomorrow morning. (Excited!!). I am new with BMW; in the video you talk about coding the Bluetooth or something else. How do you do that? Thanks for the Video. Looks like to be a great car.
This was a really good review bro , nice whip
4:53 “Real beefy” AYOOOOO 🤦♂️
“The coolness ova here” 😂😂😂
Can you please show how u did your exhaust I would love to do the same
Beautiful spec
Great reviews 🔥
2023 definitely getting me one in August what year would anyone suggest tho ?
Nice car and nice review. Looking to get one myself but with a cream interior.
Preesh brobro was looking for a vid like this I’m getting one but not a drop top and a m sport as well
Thinking buying a 2015 428i it has around 80k miles is it worth buying
I’d buy one with 80k miles as long as the price is reasonable. Great car!
Awesome thanks mate
I just got one yesterday! How reliable has yours been?
if you don't mind me asking how much did you buy it for ?
yo bro i’m curious, how’s yours holding up?
@@littledope3993 it’s not no ordinary car like a Toyota of course. Changed engine mounts, high pressure fuel pump, oil changes but I use AMSOIL European Formula 0w-40 every 8000 miles with filter change every 4K, engine air filter, wiper blades, transmission service because I want it set for the next 50k miles. The timing chain issue is the big one on these engines but AMSOIL like I said is keeping it like new, replaced headlight bulbs pretty easily with Marslighting ones. The car drives super good and very comfy especially after I serviced the transmission. I learned to do all maintenance by myself off UA-cam. Metoy3r helped me do my first ever oil change by myself actually. I’ll be doing brakes mainly after a little bit. If you take care of it, it will 10000% take care of you back.
@@DuckMcDuckinson wow great job on learning all the manual work. Compared to the price of the car you payed, how much money did all the maintenance/repairs add up all together per year?
@@meti9230 it all depends on how the past owner treated the car. I replaced what I think was a lot for a car in the first year of ownership. I also forgot to mention that I replaced ignition coils and spark plugs as it was misfiring randomly every so often.
I know I'm late to this video, but I am currently deciding on trading-in my Infiniti Q50 for a 2015 BMW 428i, based on your opinion with you previously owning BMW 428i, would you think trading-in would be an upgrade or downgrade for me? Thank you man, in advance, for your help and comment!
DM me on Instagram, @metoy3r
I have a 2014 ..with upgraded intake and down pipe..92k miles..no tune..I will trade!!
I looking to buy my mom a 2014 bmw 428i but a sedan so is the car reliable do they have any major issues ? As the engine or anything obviously keeping up with maintenance is one thing but as for like parts messing up anything ?
You don't need a paint the brake calipers just buy a Brembo brake kit or bigger calipers
Ehh I liked the paint on this one. No longer have the vehicle though.
I just bought a 2014 BMW 428I used with 67,000 miles
how is it so far?
Dammm broo you right about that caliper it looks like that car missed leg day.. but bro that car is hella tight hardtop convertible whattttt flossy don’t sweat the small stuff
How reliable has it been for you while having it for the 2years ? How much on maintenance
All I had to do was regular maintenance. Oil changes every 3-5k miles and spark plugs one time. Never had any issues as far as reliability
But does it look aggressive tho ?
Very underated
By the way the prices of groceries are today, that space would be more than enough.
Facts! 🤣
How do I open the trunk when the batteries dead and let's say I don't have a jumper
any puddle/courtesy lights?
Performance wise, what’s urs pushin?
i have an injen cold air intake and the rev 9 axle back exhaust. I want to get it dyno once i install the downpipe and get it tuned!
These are only 240hp? Looks sick but slow
So should I install better breaks, I can be rough on breaks 😅?
what do you do whenever someone wants to take you on thinking its a 435i and they have a car in the 435i class?
Beautiful car by the way, but l dont like that screen, its too small and looks cheap for a car of this class
Thank you! Now that my car is tuned and have a catless downpipe I can compete with 435i. Considering the 435i is stock. And I do plan on doing a swap for the 6 inch screen sometime in the future . It looks a whole lot better!
@@Metoy3r true, the bigger screen is way better. I will buy a F32 320i or a F31 320d in a couple of month and if it got the smaller one I will change it - that's for sure.
At what year did they start having Bluetooth audio and or Apple car play? Nice car man.
They’ve had Bluetooth for awhile as far as Apple CarPlay I believe that’s newer like 2017
what exhaust did you get to be able to get the dual tips on both sides?
Looking to buy an 428i soon
I’m looking at a 2014 with 56k miles. Just wondering if you have had any issues since making this video.
Didn’t have any issues with it! I do know the n20/n26 engine is infamous for timing chain issues. I guess I was one of the lucky ones
Unfortunately my lci F30 msport with the beautiful estoril blue with m400 wheels was totaled. Sad day for sure. However, I am now the owner of an F33 with the same paint, wheels and msport. The drive isn’t as nice as the f30. Will have to upgrade that for sure. Bimmertech here I come.
I had my Mercedes benz c350 with amg wheels fully loaded totaled not long ago myself. Feel your pain. Looking to replace it with a 435i or a 428i.
What percent of tint did you use on your BMW? I’m curious. Thanks.
This one was 15% all around. None in the windshield
Nice. Thanks for the response. I recently purchased a 435i 37k miles convertible and definitely will be rocking the 15% here in Cali.
Sick whip by the way, especially the diffuser with twin pipes, the base 428i exhaust tips are plain ugly. I feel they did it on purpose.
I like double exhaust 4:08, what's upgrade on it , is it v6 exhaust or ther where didi u get it ? Please
How did u change those exhaust? Cuz the original 428 i is just 2 small to the left right ?
I had to change the rear diffuser to one that has one cut out on both sides
@@Metoy3r What brand exhaust did you use? I got a friend who can weld them in for free luckily at his shop on mine😂
Is there anyway I could contact you, cause I’m willing to buy a 2016 428i and will that be a good choice??
Instagram @metoy3r
What year?
Only thing I find ugly asf is the trunk how everything opens as one beside that it’s a nice car
I have the same dislike with the audio, how did you code it in for Bluetooth to work?
I will make a video on how to code the Audio and show you
Just made a video on this man, check it out
Perfeito!!! Acabei de comprar uma e gostei muita da sua apresentaçao. Já me inscrevi no seu canal . parabens !!!
How many times you used the word aggressive?
An aggressive amount 😈
how did you code the bluetooth functions?
Die Musik in einem bmw kommt aus dem motor !
Add engine sound next time 🤙🏼
No audio Bluetooth 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I’d return it
Bro did you honestly have u abused the car and still reliable and no problem arised so far?
Yeah man I would so I abuse my car a lot. I go to car meets every weekend and I’m constantly putting additional stress on my engine and still no issues. I keep up with the maintenance though
@@Metoy3r what year is this? Fixing to buy one but scared of the timing chain issues.. 2014 428i.. let me know what year
I have a 2014 bmw 428i
But wait, you are using it on daily basis and abusing the shi out of it and still no issues up to this moment, any common problems that we should be aware of
Yeah I beat on it and still use it as a daily with no issues. Common issues I have heard with this model is the timing chain.
Thanks man. Gonna buy the exact one, red interior, m package, 2.0 biturbo f33. One question tho: do you have an aux cord, if bluetooth wasnt stock for music
Yes, there is an Aux outlet in the middle console area under the armrest
Bro just buy a 435i
What do you mean without bluetooth audio, so you can not listen to your own music for example?
You can’t listen to music via Bluetooth. You have to use an AUX cord for the BMW I have.
Is 25,000 over priced for this car Im FL
Yes for a 2014 I would say yes. But all depends on condition and how many miles
What i the brand of sound system?
Harmon Kardon
i got mine
Good choice!
@@Metoy3r But it has 155,000 kilometers (96,000 miles). How long do you think it can last very well maintained?
I love the murdered look
What year is it? And whats the difference of 428i,430i,435i ?
Mine is a 2014 428i. And the difference between the 3 is the engine size. My 428i has an 2.0L N26 engine. Most 430i have the b48 engine while the 435i (fastest) has a 3.0L N55 engine.
Metoy3r I love your car I’m currently looking to buy one like yours that’s how I came across your video.what do u think of websites like trend,cars.com and carvanna
I’ve heard good things about those websites but I personally used car gurus to find my car
Metoy3r thank u for responding bro I appreciate the help 🙏🏽
Metoy3r I had a question ,I msgd u on insta
My E46 gets 25/30mpg...I'm gonna miss that when I move to my next bimmer. Cupholder hack Get the cupholder coaster or a coaster. Put those inside which will keep the nasty stuff down and extra scratches.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is it convertible
Yes
Does the bmw 328i have Bluetooth audio
It depends on if It came with it from factory. Some do some don’t depending on the packages they chose when the vehicle was built. If not you can always code in Bluetooth audio. I have a video on how to do that. It’s called enhanced Bluetooth audio
The roof?..
Awesome show 👏..
upgraded stereo: harman kardon
I have those same wheels on my E60
You have good taste 💯
What year is the car??
2014 428i Convertible (F33)
How old were you when you bought it?
I was 20 when I bought my car
Just get a 335i?
If you can afford it yeah I would. I have a 340i now
All depends on what you want out of the vehicle though
the white (lightskin)lil d
Hey bro. Is this car is produce at 2015 or 2016
It’s a 2014
Yeah man I would say that’s a pretty good price depending on if it’s in good condition aesthetically
He bumped 21 jeeez
Song?
Dose it have a sun roof ???
It’s a convertible, the whole roof comes off. So no sunroof
@@Metoy3r lol people do ask dumb questions...a sunroof lol...
