2017 BMW 440i M-Sport REVIEW || Should I Have Bought an M4?

[@KxllemK]

I just recently lost my 2017 440i in a bad accident, that car is a beast and definitely will not let you down in terms of performance and safety. B58 Forever!! Dope video tho bro keep up the good content

[@beaterbeemer]

Thank you for the support man! Very sorry to hear about your bad luck. I hope everything works out for you bro keep your head up 🤙🏻

sorry to hear that brother, recently lost my 2015 435i to a bad accident as well. not as quick as the 440 but just as fun behind the wheel

How does this model perform in terms of fuel efficiency?

[@wingedhussar5528]

I got a 2018 440xi F32 M. I picked my up in April of 2020, with 8k miles on it for $37,600 with taxes and fees. I was coming from a 11 E92 335xi and also a 10 E92 M3. Was thinking about getting a 2020 Audi S4 and saw the glacier silver 440 sitting on their lot that someone just traded in. Withing a few minutes I went from buying an Audi back to BMW. When COVID first hit was the best time to buy cars, dealers were damn near begging you to buy. Few things I can recommend. Upgrade the intake pipe and inlet to get rid those resonators. The stock inlet and intake pipe have a total of 3 resonators between them. Get rid of the JB4 and get a proper tune; BM3 or MHD. With just stage 1 BM3 on 93 I dyoned at 382whp and 410lb tq. The engine/start stop function is there due to some BS EU regulation. At your mileage you should get the following done soon. Differential fluid, transmission fluid (with pan/filter), and spark plugs. If you are tuned spark plugs should be done every 20k miles.

[@beaterbeemer]

Thank you for the comment and for the recommendations! I will absolutely be taking them to heart. I am looking to switch away from JB4 as well, probably for MHD. You came from some really great cars mate! I only wish I was in a position to buy at the start of Covid, would’ve been nice. Regardless, I’m pleased with the >28k price tag I ended up with post Covid all things considered. Thanks for the support!

[@ericocampo7028]

Great video, I have to admit, white isn't my favorite color but your exterior mods are tastefully done. Your hits of black (front splitter, rear diffuser,side mirror caps, etc) balance out the contrast with the paint. Glad you stayed with the gunmetal paint on the wheels instead of going black. BTW I think I'm your 600th (exactly) subscriber!

[@beaterbeemer]

Hell yea man thanks for the support 🙏🏻 #600 means a lot to me. I don’t deserve even this much! But agreed, white isn’t my first choice actually. I can’t explain it man. When I saw this car and how clean it was in person already lowered on KW’s with the 437m’s I was just in love and sold immediately lol I truly wanted black at first. The storm trooper look is sick though. Thanks for commenting!

[@ericocampo7028]

@@beaterbeemer You can't explain it, when ya know ya know, right? I felt the same way last year when I bought my 340i. I already was driving my 2008 E92 and not really looking to buy a new car but when I saw it on the lot it was GAME OVER lol. There' arent a lot of 340i up for sale in my part of Canada especially with MPPSK. I love your description of the "stormtrooper" trim. *chef kiss*

[@khumokwezimashapa2245]

You're just like me in regards to the F82 M4. It's also my dream car, but I want the F32 440i because I like how it's sporty, somewhat luxurious and it doesn't look that aggressive compared to the m4. I feel like I'm also technically settling by getting the F32, but I decided to buy that instead, because I'm only not gonna track the car. Even if I had an F82.

[@beaterbeemer]

I’m glad you understand the value in getting an F32 at your current stage (not that I know). I basically told myself I can’t have an M4 until I have a house and garage to park it in. Plus I’ve put 14k miles on my 440 in less than a year with no mechanical issues at all. I’d feel terrible if I was putting that many miles on an M4. Do you already own your F32?

Yo have you ran into any problems or have to change anything and if you don’t mind me asking how much did you end up paying bc im looking at a 2017 440i listed at 19,995

@@JoshtooVibey In the 7 months I’ve had the car so far at 80k+ miles I’ve had no issues at all except a daytime running light going bad. The car has been great! I paid 28k for my car which was right about KBB value plus I got a bunch of mods. A 440i for under 20k raises red flags in my mind. Why so cheap?

[@JoshtooVibey]

@@beaterbeemer also if you had to guess how much a monthly payment on a 27000 dollar car would be if you put down 6000 what would be your ball park figure

[@beaterbeemer]

@@JoshtooVibey tough call man, so mine was 28, out the door for around 31 after taxes and all. I put 13 down and my payment is just over 300/month financing about 18k. But every situation is different, it depends HIGHLY on who you lend from and the rate they give you.. my bank offered me 9% interest and I said F that and found a 5% rate which dropped my payment a bit. 27 with 6k down you’ll probably end up financing 24k out the door. If I’m paying 312/month on 18k loan. You might expect like in the 400’s? Just an educated guess man. I recommend looking up a payment calculator

what's the difference between a 4 door 340i and a 4 door 440i? and would you recommend either of those over the 540i and the 640i? (looking for a Daily Driver Sports Sedan)

[@beaterbeemer]

Great question, the 2 main differences I can think of is the 4 door 440 (grand coupe) is a hatchback actually, and the 340 has a standard trunk. Also exterior styling is different. Different taillights, the 4 series has a fender vent. I’m sure there’s other differences. As for which one id recommend.. I’d say go 340i or 440i GC depending on which style you like more. The 440 GC might be a tad more practical with the hatchback. 540 and 640 are great I’m sure but just a little too big for me. 4 series is just right imo 🤌🏻

[@livinglegacy8429]

@@beaterbeemer I definitely want a B58 BMW with iDrive 7 and The M sports package for under 25k. im a 1st time car buyer and wasnt sure exactly which model yet.. but I do want 4 doors n 6 cylinders. I was really thinking 340i (Because I wanted an M3 as a kid in 2005 playing Need for speed Most wanted) Then I came across Justin Buice on YT who's car is nice and Now yours because I was exploring a 440i. the 540i has that premium bowers n wilker sound package and would be better for uber. I was also looking at additional packages from 2016+ such as the Cold winter package, premium sound packages, comfort packages etc. RELIABILTY is my main focus! I plan to keep the car for at least 3-5 years. I'm not sure which style I like more yet.. (leaning towards the 4 series) but this video made me even more certain that as long as it has 4 doors with the M sports package and the B58 combo I cant go wrong!

[@beaterbeemer]

@@livinglegacy8429 very well put my friend. I’m honored that you went from JB’s channel to mine! I’m just a small KZbinr but trying to create quality content for F32’s and e90’s everywhere. It’s undeniable that the 340i is more popular than the 440 GC. But I think the 440 is a little bigger and more practical with the hatch. Plus imo, the 4 series looks sportier but obviously you can make either car look amazing (look at JB’s car). I love my Harmon/Kardon, and the B58 is probably the most reliable turbo i6 right now. Of course going NA will always be more reliable but where’s the fun in that! You really can’t go wrong. Enjoy the process!

When you say 437m STYLE rims, does that mean they're not OEM? If so, hows the quality of reps compared to OEM?

Hey thanks for commenting, sorry if my wording didn’t make sense. I have genuine OEM 437’s so unfortunately I don’t know.

[@flexdash]

Get a gloss black roof wrap and make sure the roof side rails are included too. I have a 440i with a roof wrap it is absolutely insane how much better it looks with the wrap. Spent $400 but that's Cali prices so in other states should be cheaper. The only con is that exterior wraps usually don't come with any warranty and you gotta be careful and not take the car to an automatic touch carwash..

Great video man! I had a quick question. So I am considering getting either a 2019 440i gran coupe or a 2021 Lexus is350 f sport. How do these cars compare? Have you driven a Lexus or a similar car? everyone i've talked to has been telling me that there's nothing like driving a BMW. I've only ever driven a 335i and an X5. Let me know your thoughts (and dw if you're completely bias towards the BMW over the Lexus)

Hey thanks for commenting! Unfortunately I’ve never driven an is350 or any other Lexus for that matter, so I don’t have much to compare to. But after driving my 2011 335i and now 2017 440i I have no desire to find out what the is350 has to offer. I’m too busy enjoying my 440 haha. Does that mean it’s a bad car? Absolutely not.

I don’t think you get enough bang for your buck with the Lexus unless it’s fully decked out and then it’s like $51,000 you go with the I S 500 if you’re going to compare the BMW against Lexus because without the turbo in the IS 350 you’re gonna be kind of lost it really does make a difference nowadays whereas the I S 500 has the V8 and you won’t be lacking in power but you will be lacking in wallet because it’s about $75,000 out the door.

[@beaterbeemer]

Hey thank you! I’m loving these cars. My honest opinion - I have adaptive suspension and on sport or sport+ it’s a bit too stiff for me. But I also believe that’s the point of a sports car, to be a stiff ride. It softens up nicely on comfort mode but I still find myself cringing over every bump and hole.. you feel everything. I’ve also never felt what it was like stock, bought the car with the kw’s. But the handling is out of this world. Very good. I have minor rubbing but I can fix by just raising the height.

Has every package, m sport, m performance, blacked out. 24k but i can get down to 22k, its across the country. Coming from an e90 328x. Should i just go for it? Are they that reliable aside from the engine like transmission, transfer case, suspension and turbos?

[@beaterbeemer]

@ well full disclaimer this is a big decision for you so please don’t make a choice solely on my opinion. Who knows, my 440 could be a special case but I doubt it because it seems like all I hear is good things about the gen 1 and 2 b58. IMO 93k isn’t bad at all I’m at 111k still going strong. Just filmed a 2 year ownership review and nothing but good things to say. I started at 84k when I bought so not much lower

Remove the beauty cover on the engine. Shouldn’t be there, from I’ve heard.

Amazing car! Can you tell me the tire sizes? Thanks :)

[@beaterbeemer]

Sure! They’re 255/35/19 all around. But I think the back tires are stretched over a 275 wheel. I bought it that way and still need to verify

[@Schaufelor]

@@beaterbeemer Thank you, they look very good. Love the M rims. I guess 19 inches are still reasonably comfortable and 20 inches would make you need a chiropractor? 😅

[@beaterbeemer]

@@Schaufelor 19 has been totally fine for me! Especially in comfort mode

[@destroyermst6753]

Under 30k?? Where????

[@beaterbeemer]

I’m from MD and drove to Pennsylvania to find this one! At the time, 28k was KBB value.

[@destroyermst6753]

woow thats such a good deal bro. im from Portugal and im ab to drive to germany to buy me a 430i or a 435i and i only find them around 28k 29k, finding a 440 at that price nowadays would be crazy@@beaterbeemer

[@beaterbeemer]

@@destroyermst6753ah, okay I understand! I assumed you were from the USA. So I drove about 2 hours for mine.. not bad! 28k is about what you want to pay for a 440 in the states. Mine also had 80k miles on it. Not sure what mileage you’re looking for. Good luck on your search!

[@arturmuller5598]

An interesting video about the F32 could be about the water drainage in the front. Keep in mind that they clog up sometimes and can leak water into the interieur. I also bought an 2017 440i exactly 6 months ago and was amazed about the stupid water drainage system they build. Gotta keep it clean to prefent a catastrophe in the inside

[@beaterbeemer]

Oh wow I had no idea. Thanks for the information! I will absolutely add this to the list of videos to make. I need to stop slacking and post a new video!

[@danielfoster2613]

The auto start stop isn’t just to save fuel; idling isn’t great for engines too. You can permanently disable the auto start stop with an OBD scanner if it’s that annoying. Nicely modified 440i 🤙

[@beaterbeemer]

Thanks for commenting! Great points. I will admit it’s not that annoying especially since the button remembers it’s state and you only have to push it once instead of every time you get in the car and that’s good enough for me

[@danielfoster2613]

@@beaterbeemer Putting it in sport mode cancels auto start stop too. I have a 2014 235i with the n55 engine so I always like hearing the comparisons between the n55 and b58. I’m considering fitting a sports cat and remapping. Any advice?

[@beaterbeemer]

@@danielfoster2613 oh man I never realized that either haha. I’ve been meaning to do a dedicated N55 vs B58 comparison so keep your eye out! I bought my 440 with a high flow downpipe already installed so I can’t speak to installation much. But I have learned that not all “catted high flow” downpipes will keep your CEL away. Only the nicest brands/most expensive sports downpipes will pass emissions still. So I have a catted downpipe that still won’t pass emissions.. what’s the point lol might as well have gone catless. So do your research and find a sports cat that is up to spec to pass emissions (if you care). Another route you can take is to bypass the emissions check through MHD or BM3. I’m running JB4 and want to get rid of it in favor of the other two for that reason and more power out of stage 2. Hope that helps!

@@beaterbeemer That’s super helpful, thank you!

I want to sell my e92 328 and get this

Audi S5 is slightly better in almost every way..except it's much more expensive but the main competitor nonetheless. Both 3litre..500 torque.
