I was looking for a 440i GC, but this review is making me consider a 430i also - I actually prefer the 4 series more than the new 3 series - way more stylish in my eyes - defo my next car - excellent review

[@Euphoria538]

What a rollercoaster ride! Awesome review👍

[@audiquattro2003]

"252hp it's not a fast car" Dude what kind of fast car are you used to? Do you usually cruise around in a Boeing 737?

[@POVDRIVING]

I'm fortunate to have been able to drive many cars, and yes, this is not a fast car. I'd say it's a luxury cruiser with a little more power than a "normal" car. But I understand what you're saying :)

[@KashTagg]

Says the Audi Quattro

[@shonevans2830]

252 isn’t really a fast car... its not a slug by any means, but that number doesn’t necessarily scream speed.

@@shonevans2830 it's not a Supercar,but dude once you hit 250 km/h and more and you have a 0-100 in less than 6.5 sec is kinda fast for our roads

[@MatiKosa]

Very good review man, I like your clear way of speaking, you articulate everything in an easy to understand way, well done! :)

[@POVDRIVING]

Thanks man. When it comes to cars, I find it easy to talk and explain. See you soon!

[@MatiKosa]

@@POVDRIVING Did you have a chance to test drive the latest G20 330i? I am wondering what is better: 430i Gran Coupe or the newer car.

[@POVDRIVING]

@@MatiKosa I have driven the 320d G20. Fantastic car, very luxurious and sporty. Suprised me tons, especially for a 3 series. Reminded me of a 5 series. The 430i GC is more car for themoney, as the value has gone down quite a bit. The 330i G20 has a 4 cylinder that I'm not a big fan of. But haven't driven that engine.

[@MatiKosa]

@@POVDRIVING I have also driven G20 320d, good car, although the steering wheel is quite hard to grab with your fingers, to put them around it - it's very thick. Regarding 4er, I have driven 440i Coupe with Power and Sound Kit and it was a total blast, best drive in my life. For a 30i engine, my buddy has 230i, engine is really cool, very nippy from the start and quite economical too. The only real difference between 30i and 40i is the low-end torque, in 30i you have to wait for a while and then it goes. In 40i you move ur foot down for 1mm and you fly away. I have vids of that car. First i will save up some money and then will decide :)

[@POVDRIVING]

@@MatiKosa I agree, the steering wheel is way to thick! Sound's like you should get the 440i :)) There is a company called Pure Turbo who optimizes the original turbo for massive HP gains, I can really recommend looking into it with a 440i. You can get 500-600 reliable HP for under 5k I think. Anyways, thx for the comments and input man!

[@hannw7]

I have this exact car 430i xDrive M package but can't wait to get a 540i next! I miss my 5 series. Need those 6 cylinders! Good review :)

[@POVDRIVING]

Thanks Holly! Bigger is better....

[@xenomorph1317]

Holly Williamson i feel ya mate, i dont like the idea to go from my F80 M3 to a 430i, rather go for the 440i, only for the sound of the engine.

[@bmwforlife6951]

If I can chose between a 430i with nice options: individual leather interior, individual exterior color etc or a dull looking 440i I choose the 440i.

[@daCorasla]

waiting on mine to come this september!! thanks a lot for the review!

[@POVDRIVING]

Nice! Congratz :)

[@fdmc2278]

It’s absolutely nice and fast car. With ZF automatic transmissions it is great package. I used to drive 5 series F10 but looking to buy 4 series. I love it

[@monsi012]

Since 2003 my wife and I have owned four 3 series BMWs our first was a 325 then 328i after that. We just purchased the 430i Grand Coupe and Wow I’ll never go back to the 3s. It’s definitely next level.

[@ckslums]

Same. Had a 325i for 7 years. Great car and the 3 series overall is nice but just seems so boring compared to 4 series. I was really torn initially between the gran coupe and the coupe but now Im honestly loving the gran coupe. Its fucking awesome.

[@matejdudovic5608]

Fuel consumption on 430i?

[@ckslums]

It's been pretty good for me. On par with the consumption I experienced when I had my 06 e90 which lasted me the past 8 years. @@matejdudovic5608

[@zrandy]

Nice guy, very calm and not a no it all. Love the wheels on that one.

[@Mrzarish]

Amazing video brother ☺️👍🏻

[@ckslums]

Very tasteful review. I really enjoyed it. Just purchased a 2019 430i gran coupe and have really enjoyed it. I love looking out the window and just seeing it sitting there in the driveway looking as sexy as she is. Lol. Again, however, very great review. I think I'll go watch again!

[@mirketcod]

Köpte en 430i, var igentligen sugen på 435, men 430'n var över förväntan i prestande och ljud! Perfekt när man pendlar också.

[@POVDRIVING]

Stämmer! Du kan ju optimera motorn också så du får yttligare kraft som 435. Men inget som behövs då den går bra orginal :)

[@AdFunk]

Fantastic overview.

[@alexhrisca5123]

Best video I watched of a car review!!

[@POVDRIVING]

Yeaah! Thanks bro!!

[@F32Koto]

This is super random but I put my keys in the left cup holder and close it too! I don't know who else does it, but it's funny to see someone with same exact habit.

[@POVDRIVING]

Haha yeah cool :D It's a good spot :)

[@tarique2314]

Dope Videos bro keep it going👌👌

[@POVDRIVING]

Tarique Thanks bro! We have just started....

[@derekmoore2349]

Actually this is not a double clutch gearbox but a ZF 8 HP gearbox with torque converter (so no dry clutch) and much better.

[@POVDRIVING]

thats true sorry... i presumed it as it was smooth :D

[@spruceguitar]

Negative: I can help you! The all wheel drive is a pain! It stalls the car. My other car is a maxima, it just wants to go. The 430 stalls in comparison as soon as you take your foot off the gas

[@why8410]

quick note the transmission is not a dct. It is a zf 8 speed.

[@motivationinc6415]

amazing video unfortunatly electric speedometer very rare to find in usa

[@spruceguitar]

I hate that if I want to avoid the all wheel drive in Canada I have to go up to a higher end model. The 430 only comes in xdrive, which I deeply deeply dislike.

[@firatdemir6177]

Har tänkt o köpa en 440i. Men räcker 430i om man vill ha en rolig upplevelse. Och vad är skillnaden med bränsle förbrukningen mellan dom. Bra video btw 👌🏻

[@dakingmount1462]

Yeah nice language

[@POVDRIVING]

Jag vet ju inte riktigt vad du är van vid eller så, vissa människor tycker en 430i är snabb och rolig, vilket den är till en viss gräns. Men 440i is the way to go, man vill ju ha BMW's legendariska sexcylindriga motorer. Märkbar skillnad i körglädje. Jag rekommenderar dig att provköra båda bilarna, åk till en bilhandlare och säg som det är. Lycka till och sorry för sen kommentar!

[@POVDRIVING]

We are Swedish, sorry about that.

[@aleale5177]

this car has a VSS, variable steering steel? Thank you

[@motivationinc6415]

please can you tell me how some of them with electronic beautiful speedometer and most of them not ..?

[@ivanivanov3718]

Hallo, wie viele Kilometer fährt man mit einer Tankfüllung?

Is it reliable? I'm thinking about one coming from an Audi which has been bulletproof.

[@caloFi]

not reliable but not unreliable either

[@cheesecrust2711]

Does it have Apple CarPlay?

[@benogames2488]

Plz do a Chevy Camaro

[@martinvakarelov5209]

Does BMW have a trunk opening sensor that reacts with a foot?

[@anthonyissa1982]

yes it does

You want to see?

[@vlkv4237]

Yes)

[@tomaszenko2080]

Well, in my opinion you should drive a car first, after that you figure aut what you wanna say and record an audio on the POV driving.

[@POVDRIVING]

Thanks for the input, but no. This is not scripted, this is the real deal.

[@gabrielfnaf6734]

what bmw very ggoo9oooooooood

[@POVDRIVING]

4 series gran coupe !

[@ool3062]

Hur är 330i jämfört med 320d i vridmoment?

[@POVDRIVING]

320d har mer vrid vid låga varvtal, det kommer som en stor rush vid ca 2,000. Så den känns nog nästan snabbare. Men såklart finns det mer HK i 330i, så rakt fram är den nog lite snabbare men inte stor skillnad. Har kört en 200HK 320d med M Performance uppgradering på 200HK. Den kändes nästan lika snabb som 430i X vi nyligen testade :)

[@ool3062]

Jasså, själv leasar man en 320d xDrive men undrar vad jag ska leasa nästa gång. Är lite sugen på en 330 men blir då bensin eftersom dieseln har blivit så himla dyr nu...

[@POVDRIVING]

Hmm, förstår din situation. Finns ju 330e också med mycket vrid och billig månadskostand tror jag. Dricker ingenting heller!

[@ool3062]

Jo, jag tänkte på en 330e. Dem är ju billigare i förmånsvärde också.

[@POVDRIVING]

Stämmer! Om jag var dig hade jag åkt och provkört alla olika modeller som är intressanta. Sen är det ett enkelt val!

[@gg5321]

Det är en 8 växlad ZF automatlåda. Ingen dubbelkoppling.

[@jasminegoodrum4970]

I have a bmw

[@Johntaipopping]

4 grand coupe and 3 gt is so similar.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

So Fly Tai not really. 4 looks like a sedan; 3 looks more like a wagon.

[@Johntaipopping]

Daytona Says What?! GT dude. Not the long wagon version.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

So Fly Tai Yea, I don’t find them at all similar. The three series has a big box in the rear end. And it sits a lot higher. The four series looks like an actual sedan sport Coupe

[@Skylda]

the moment when someone says "high quality" in a german car.... omg *facepalm*

[@POVDRIVING]

what do you mean? it's high quality man

[@Skylda]

@@POVDRIVING yeah thats why german cars are in every ranking on the last places... the only good german brand is porsche! there are 2 things the german makes best, engine power and beautiful interior. but thats the only things. the rest is cheap crap. and thanks to all german brands we are not allowed to drive diesel in germany anymore.

[@Brain320]

@@Skylda And what else did you drive? Rolls-royce? I have driven a lot of shit in my life so far and I will always look for German car first...anything other means I'm just really, really short on cash...

[@Skylda]

@@Brain320 if money doesnt matter than you can go for german cars. but that means for a Audi A7, A8, Mercedes E, S, and so on. not a cheap bmw 3 or audi a4. because you get better cars for less money in other brands.

[@Brain320]

​@@Skylda Well money always matters but with that in mind I can tell you I STILL have the e46 coupe(2006 though). I bought it used but it has been years and years with me. Still runs like a champ. Getting close to 300.000km, no squeaks, no rattles no major expenses, no bullshit. It runs so good and looks so nice (coupe) I can't justify buying a new car yet. I have driven much newer Italian, French and even Japanese cars, they were all nice when new (except Citroen that was crap from the start) but few years later and the shit starts.

[@shoesandcarstv23]

stop turning your wrist like this just to show off the watch, so annoying and unprofessional.. also the sound is TERRIBLE
