2014 BMW 435i Convertible Quick Take Review: Is 4 better than 3?

[@kevinaronov8951]

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

[@volsman1987]

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]

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.

[@MrIrrepressible]

still looks good with the top up IMO

[@Tom_Selleck308]

IrrepressibleGuile Mr Irrepressible .of course it does, this guy blows...

[@ctecce]

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

[@VVDzuidoost]

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

[@choconsingapore7360]

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]

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....

[@TFLcar]

Most assuredly....it is just you.

[@terrencemunyoro6018]

+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]

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.

[@apexxxx10]

Blowing in the wind...

[@nevillepluck7605]

I hear you! No one calls me Miss Piggy in mine!!

[@jonbob4798]

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.

[@pgbollwerk]

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?"

[@FreeRsGuides]

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

[@jonathancharles21]

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.

[@tuolumne9]

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

[@mhamedosama]

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

[@Nomimasubiru420]

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

[@jax9254]

You’re nuts

[@nosmosdad]

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]

+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.

[@zerone9521]

BMW never changes the inside...!

[@2xxxxvipers]

By far the worst car reviewers on KZbin, 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.

[@icemanroyal]

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]

Roman's sweater needs to go back to the dumpster !!!!!!

[@MrChevypower]

MrKeyboardCommando why do you care what he's wearing?

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

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]

Hm. I think it looks quite nice...

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

n777ua Stop taking the piss. :-)))

[@hipposnakeyo]

That 'Luxury' badge lol

[@colinsmith1924]

Yeah, pretty tacky.

[@AlvinLosinto]

I think this goes head to head with the Mercedes C-class Coupe, rather than the e350.

[@marknelson4713]

"instead of being.. a beautiful swan..... it transforms into a bit of a Ms. Piggy" HAHHAHAHAH. You do great reviews tho man, you mention great points, you get the revs, good angles and good commentary on all your reviews.

[@inductivoc]

i like the previous gen design better

[@Avatargeek23]

me too it was more sleek lol this one is nice though

[@pontiachotshot]

I like the Walmart LUXURY stick on badge lol

[@Evilbowmaster63]

This would be a good car to drive on the beachside.

[@rykalskyes8888]

Roman, is there any trunk at all with the top down?

[@Fordguy1997]

I don't understand revving the engine to the redline in Park... That's just abusive!

[@jeffrandall4046]

Agree, disappointing.

[@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?-

[@tonythan1806]

Beautiful car, both exterior and interior, but overpriced.

[@h1gashi]

idk why but this is fucking depressing

[@RK1FX]

By what means?

[@satnitcboy]

(I've only watched 6-8 TheFastLane pieces and I find them a little depressing, too - a bit laconic. No zip.) But more power too 'em.

[@adriannevarez7759]

it looks the best

[@teiren474]

Very sexy car! I don't usually like hardtop convertibles or convertibles at all for that matter, but with the top up or down this car is very sexy!!

[@Teffy2105]

65k dam! It will take a regular guy 11 years to pay this off smh

[@dParakeet]

Now it’s sitting in a used car dealership for $15-20k

[@chancewilson8665]

Nice car in a nice color

[@h3runs]

yeah ok, but is 4 better than 3? :/

[@TanSlimProductions]

Weird video. I expected a comparison between the BMW 3 series, but only got most comments about an audi and a mercedes

[@nycupperes]

Which has the largest rear seat for kids?

[@83bluebird]

They couldn't have made that roof slower if they had tried.

[@xn7331]

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

[@marc1093280]

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.

[@privaternutzer9433]

I like the style of that vid:)

[@RobBoothAutomotive]

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.

[@ohhyeahthatangel]

I want one! 🙋🏾

[@MultiKhalled]

I miss the hard top in the new ones 😢

[@mpowerchetty]

This guy is comparing an E class to a 4 series?

[@karonmarshall8965]

wait... so , the chubster in the pink sweatshirt calls the 435i ms. piggy. interesting

[@dongerramarco9617]

Get all three damn it

[@laweezemorton8884]

Did you say Coupe' ?? ha ha ha ha ha.. I guess with that pink sweatshirt, it works.. I kid..

[@owenwu7995]

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

[@salbers]

My Eos will go toe to toe with this car and beat it on nearly everything that matters.

[@dieselngoungou1465]

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.

[@colinsmith1924]

The 435 convertible looks great with the top up. The reviewer just has bad taste.

[@YEE941]

all the 3s and 4s from the last 10 years look the same

[@davisann1065]

Why is he comparing a S5 to a 435 smh... should be A5 convert & 435i

[@aa39545n]

how hard is it to review a car properly

[@gudalawrence2028]

even an e46 325 goes to red line on park

[@Mike0in0Texas]

I think you like the Audi.....I am going to test drive one.

[@mouthies3]

Way too overpriced.

[@mjohnc99]

yea i know with that price u could get a 5 series

[@ztinny1990]

for the price,, you can get a entry level porsche.....

[@jonathancharles21]

It fits a certain demographic. If you believe it is "way too overpriced" then you obviously aren't part of that demographic.

[@mouthies3]

***** What demographic?

[@jonathancharles21]

mouthies3 I'm not even going to attempt to decipher what you wrote.

[@NikoBell12]

The top looks like they took it straight from the 3 series convertible. Other than that, I like the car but it is overpriced.

[@tonyperani]

I wish it wasn't such a weird car. I just saw one today and it honestly looks boring and I'd rather it wasn't the typical BMW we have come to expect.

[@jorgeu111]

yes Sir. send me one in that color. but with xDrive. else... don't :P

[@cbureriu]

so... Is 4 better than 3 ?

[@jeremiahanthony5521]

for coupe and convertible choices yes but sedan no

[@cbureriu]

makes sense. thanks

[@zafjaskdjf]

I'd take the s5 over this anyday

[@powerofpinesol8002]

Agree

[@JS_adventure_]

$65k for a 4 series. No, thank you.

[@kslats916]

WTF is a coupé? This dude struck me as a pretentious prick after that. OMG and then he free revved it to 6500. What a tool.

[@GwoodBloodz]

Way too overpriced, and the front looks like a stretched Mazda 6

[@DylanHuberify]

BMW calls it the ultimate driving machine, do don't offer a proper manual transmission. Another overprice piece of junk.

[@YEE941]

To many spoke on the wheels. looks like silver toothpicks

[@Jonnybarbs]

those stupid luxury tags

[@megamike317]

Cannot get over how ugly that steering wheel is.

[@MetalsForBrunch]

the luxuary tags is soo tacky. thumbs down for this boring engine and gorilla bumper

[@jimboslice500]

they'll be for the american market only...

[@jonathancharles21]

It's a fuckin tag. If it's such a big deal the people who actually afforded to buy it, unlike you, would take it off. Stop bitchin over little shit.

[@kenmasters007]

terrible gas mileage for a modern car...

[@Rebel_71123]

ken masters Its great for a car that isn't a hybrid or an all electric car.

[@Revolushun1]

Wow the front of the car is hideous

[@brianwinnipeg9409]

Useless fluff

[@ocalaeyeguy]

Luxury....lol
