2021 BMW M235i Gran Coupe xDrive: Start Up, Exhaust, Test Drive and Review

[@softaco3088]

Definitely the sickest entry level lux sports sedan

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

For sure! It has a lot to offer. But I'd rather have an Audi S3

[@anjdog2003]

I just bought a 2021 and i'am excited.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sweet!

[@Opinionsthatmatter]

You just convinced me on what to buy i was thinking of opting for the m135i 😂😂i like thank you

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh nice!

[@EllysaE]

I ❤️ this car omfg. Dream car. This specific iteration though. Was not a fan of the one before.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Keeping working towards it! This is a fun BMW for sure!

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

I'll admit that I've got some homework to do on this one but I'm not sure it has the gesture control on the infotainment like some of the other Beemers. But this color is dope! Its like a light blue/silver mixture. And the way the shifter twitches to the right for after pressing the park button is the jump off!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I think it does have the gesture control, I just didn't show it, mainly for the volume control, but this was a great color for it for sure!

[@Camplou2]

Not sure this guy has all of his facts straight ( it does not weight 2600 pounds for example), but it is the best driving BMW I have had in the last 12 years. I have had mine for a month now , and the color gets complements everywhere I go. This is a great driving car

Europe also has the M135i xDrive with the same engine. It’s a hatchback though.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That's interesting! I don't think we'll have that here!

I can’t wait for a new M2 Competition (maybe it’ll also be offered with the Gran Coupe version).

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

We haven't checked out an M2 in awhile! Hopefully we can soon and see what they have to offer!

[@michaelschneider1365]

great review I hope I get a good deal on one that’s available today and I trade my 2023 xt4 for it

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

What don’t you like about the Cadillac? You haven’t had that long.

[@michaelschneider1365]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I think it’s a bit big. i’m used to smaller cars my last one was a countryman. I got the xt4 on price alone but ended up not liking it and in the long run if I want something better i’m more comfortable with. so hopefully I can get this. or i’m stuck with the xt4. it drives nice just not fun.

[@darriontunstall3708]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I know right

[@David-ll9qx]

What other cars would people go for similar price range and performance?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Maybe an Audi S3, WRX STI, CLA45, IS350 or CT4V

[@chrisvelazquez1375]

What’s the difference between this and a tuned 230i

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Probably not too much in power. But this will still feel like a more performance oriented car by a bit. Tuning a 230 will be a great cost effective way to go tho!

[@chrisvelazquez1375]

[@EmBowers2024]

HELP! in your opinion. What is the best car for gas, and comfortability for long road trips (my husband and I drive to Wisconsin from Tennessee twice a year) some features I would love is lane assist, gps navigation, and rear cross traffic alert. We are hoping to get a vehicle within the next couple months and we are not sure at all because we've always done buy here pay here car shops. We've never went though a dealership. PLZ HELP. Thank you so much!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

If those are your biggest wants, probably a nicely loaded up Prius or other hybrid sedan. Sonata is a nice car and those come in a hybrid

@@dk.m1404 Depends, where u live. sometimes the flap just opens when you are accelerating to decrease noise in cities.

[@KareemKayy]

@@dk.m1404 i just got the car 2 weeks ago, if you are referring to the flap opening when you rev in park, try putting it into neutral and put the parking brake down(not setting car into P), it'll open it, it's becuz they put a rev limiter in park mode!

Can do any fast and furious cars review? It would be awesome to do one

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Don't really have access to any of those cars! If we ever get the opportunity to we will!

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Ive had it with ultra low profile wheels. Where i live, the roads aren't great and it means punctures and wheel damage constantly. Apart from that, i dont like what it does to the ride.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That will certainly do that! Around here our roads are pretty good and low profile works well. But at least you can always change that

[@user-zq5dy1up4j]

Sure, the performance numbers are impressive, and the interiors of these subcompact entry level luxury cars have gotten muuuuuuuuch nicer, but imho there are many far more compelling places in the car market to take $50k. Wouldn’t be my personal choice, but if people are into it, more power to BMW, I guess🤷‍♂️

I’m the biggest BMW fan and I would rather take a loaded Honda over this fake BMW, the CLA looks nicer anyways.

[@RobHTech]

What are you talking about 2600 lbs? Your voice is so annoying. Even my '03 Rav4 weighs about 3200 lb. The interface is really old looking compared to VW AG vehicles. I thought BMW would be longitudinally mounted. So, I suppose it's FWD biased. Anyone know?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

A lot of websites said 2600, but some say 3300 which does sound more right. This is the xDrive model, so it's AWD.

[@RobHTech]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed BMW site says 3600 lb curb, or there about. Is xDrive full-time AWD? My understanding is that most vehicles with transversely mounted engines are FWD biased because they use transaxles.
