Had mine three months, on coilovers stage 1 - pushing around 330bhp and 690nm and my god does it fly. Genuine smiles every time I put my foot down. Great review 🙏

[@iniester6724]

How much would a stage 1 cost in one of these?

[@CL4SSiCS]

@@CL4SSiCS and fuel economy?

[@jamesmartindale8968]

@@eltigre7001often with diesels fuel economy improves when remapped. Something to do with optimising torque at lower revs, don’t quote me on that though.

I have got 430d GC 2017 and i have got it mapped to stage 1. It is just unbelievable after mapping, also I am getting 50mpg on motorway. Great car

[@andrewcooke904]

who did you use for the mapping?

[@azaboy2]

one of the best cars they have made, all things considered!

[@B58luja23]

Best quality Pov I've ever seen

[@jakewebb978]

I’d love to see a 640d video

[@peternorman2563]

Well not much to add to this, mine is my third 430d and the last of this model to be built. (built in Jan 2020) and first registered Apr 2020. Superb car all round and now the price of a Fiesta !

[@SuperKoreanzombie]

Xdrive or RWD is better on this one?

[@IDRIS-wl3qy]

Rwd​@@SuperKoreanzombie

[@dr-mn7ld]

Having had the 430 gc for a few years, yes

[@realmusicreallife]

I have a bmw x5 40d..its rapid. I dont no if its been previously mapped but stock its 315bhp and 600nm torque

[@billytubes]

435d has the same engine but with an additional turbo

[@craigkendall8452]

saying about the rear seats not getting caught on the front, they sometimes they do if you have the front seats far back

[@RealGX]

Love your videos.

[@bsdpowa]

I had a 320xd and it was incredibly fast 10-58, and then the acceleration suddenly drops and lacks the power at higher speeds, I did make 600-650mi on a full tank driving nice mix urban+suburban, but it does have a lag much like all diesels (which is very easy to get used to) but if you like driving dynamically I think 3liter is needed hence me looking for 335d/435d, fuel consumption is similar, insurance as well, not sure about road tax

[@tomphillips8449]

Been thinking about one of these currently drive a 120d 67 plate manual worth the upgrade ?

[@tomphillips8449]

I bought the car it's fucking great

[@richlee509]

One of the best cars ever made in my opinion. It's bloody amazing. You drive it wondering how they managed to do such a great job on this car. It's got everything. Its perfect. Looks, performance, reliability, comfort. Absolutely amazing car.

[@tomphillips8449]

@richlee509 the comfort and quality coming from a 1 series blew me away and yes fast enough too 😉

[@richlee509]

​@tomphillips8449 they are brilliant cars. Just hit a home run with this one bmw

Would you be able to publish a full list of the 30 - 70 times for full comparison?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

At some point there’ll be one, just figuring out the best way to do it online.

[@thatokhumalo2559]

It would be interesting if you can do the review of the Opel/Vauxhall Astra OPC

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

Its a no brainer going for the 35d over the 30d unless you really have to have a 30d, difference in economy (mostly a few mpg due to xDrive) is outweighed by the difference in performance.

[@alextablet4668]

Don't agree with you, my friend🙂 maintenance would be more expensive on the 435d.

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

@@alextablet4668 I am aware of that due to it being a twin turbo.

[@IDRIS-wl3qy]

​@@darylyatestransportblogsplus x drive

[@StefanoJones-d8o]

I've had the twin turbo, and a single turbo 3.0 derv, I'd never buy the twin ever again, reliability, mileage, fun better with the 30d

[@leonmatticks3043]

435d much more fun. Much more faster. Price differrence f is not far apart for 435d and 430d. 435d is only 1/2 second slower than a M4 only because of the weight of the car without the expensive running cost.

[@Fhrivneoauf]

This car has probably been mapped, it’s a heavy car and 258hp as stock isn’t huge

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

car is 100% stock. Remember, it has a lot of torque

[@ianmush6278]

I have a 430d gc and I can tell you now that it’s 100% stock cos I did the same run and got the same numbers that he got. And mine is 100% stock. Until you feel the torque and power of a 3 litre diesel bmw engine, you’ll never understand lol

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

Experience from my Grandads 435d has told me that diesel torque is mega would still choose it any day over my Mums partners remapped Focus ST better on fuel as well being a diesel.@@ianmush6278

[@Jon-cu4kv]

@@ParagonCarsLondoncrank torque is abit meaningless without taking into consideration gear ratios though.

[@richlee509]

Look it's far quicker than most things on the road standard. Effortless power and torque. There aren't that many cars that can touch it even standard. It's got a lot of power. Also it's nice to drive slowly. It's absolutely fantastic this car. It's not all about speed this has the full package. Amazing car.

[@dawid8844]

BMW no longer sells police cars after the death of an officer and other fires. I've had a 640d for a year now and while it was nothing like as quick as my model 3 performance it is way more fun. I've got a vxr8 as well and that wins over them all, can't be high reving engines.

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

Aren’t they going with the Volvo v90 t5’s now? Seen a couple about. Shame as the BMW’s were fantastic.

[@richlee509]

Just got to change the oil regular and not keeping it idle for hours then flat out like the cops use them

How is the consumption

is this model that you drive in the video had the m adaptive suspension or is the normal one

[@richlee509]

Yes mate eco pro comfort sport and sport plus if you knock the gearbox left the gearbox is also in sport mod

How come it's a 430D but he talks about RWD? I thought those were all Xdrive/AWD?

[@shazad421]

430d can be rwd 435d is only xdrive

[@richlee509]

Some 430d are rear drive only a lot are xdrive though

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

They don't hold some drinks in place. Especially bottles.

What wheels on this car 19’ or 20’s ??

[@richlee509]

Normally 19s on the more normal wheels but can be upgraded to 20 with the m performance kit.
