[@doomsday9973]

Yep. So sick of hearing the whining over the grilles.

[@nessuno5403]

No, people detest the grille because it is an arrogant attempt at being bold. It has no purpose or need to be like it is. But besides all of that, the whole new BMW car design is a mess: Apart from the grille, why did they have to butcher the Hoffmeister kink? Why, if you hide the badges and that grille, it could be mistaken for a KIA? Why the counter-clockwise rev gauge? The list goes on and on... check out Frank Stephenson, the father of car designs like McLaren, Ferrari and Maserati as well as BMW. His conclusion is spot on "good from far, far from good". As an M owner of a new model until just recently, I am gladly leaving this brand behind for good.

[@netweed09]

I think it's Great! The larger and upright grille makes this far more imposing than the outgoing GranCoupe model that was basically a lazy 3 series identikit with a few more standard features and a much more hiked-up price. More people seem to be warming to this now, appreciating the added visual value and road presence this finally offers over an optioned 3.

A pity u guys didn't review the previous generation of this car as they're coming-up relatively competitively priced on the used car market. Thanks for review for this one, how do the lesser-powered RWD only models compare?

[@edysinsimon8646]

What grill reminds me of how I wear my pants. High and wide. Very stylish! Thomas always gets these very sharp appearing/looking models. But when I go into my local BMW store, I'm met with a color palate of white/silver/blackish. Very dull. Except the M models. Those are always bright and colorful! Damn....

[@alanh2946]

Right, the dealers seem to get only the black/white/silver colors. One dealer explained to me that they have less trouble finding buyers for those than the intense colors like red, green, or light blue, since customers are generally pretty conservative and are afraid to stand out too much, or they have particular likes. I prefer something more unusual like this Aventurin Red, which is why I have always ended up ordering from the factory.

[@vonpaparas]

Hi Peter, In the last few days we are seeing stories about options being deleted from new BMW builds due to semiconductor shortage. Features like touchscreen, HK audio, Heads Up Display, Enhanced Bluetooth with wireless charging, etc. The dealers are saying that an order placed now might be delievered in April or June 2022 at the earliest. Looks like all these options are available on paper only at the moment and for the best part of next year also... And also... the M340i Saloon (built on the same platform as M440i) is no longer showing in the UK configurator!

[@lemonscent]

Love the overall design and colour. Didn't expect to see the return of the classic pull up door handles from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's implemented on this car. 😮

Am wondering if a 4 series hybrid might be on the horizon for this platform, like the 330e. Seems like a hybrid might make more sense for the practical i4 grand coup. At least it would be an easier transition for someone like my mom who rarely drives more than 30 miles in a day, Always appreciate your insight Tomas. Thanks

[@jonathannavarro6679]

Car looks so much better in Brooklyn grey.

[@alanh2946]

I almost got that but the contrast with the Shadowline black trim becomes very stark. Base line trim would be fine with the Brooklyn Grey, I think. It is indeed a lovely color, and cooler in the sun. (But my wife liked this Aventurine Red Metallic best, and after seeing the videos of it being produced in the Munich plant under bright lights, I was also smitten. So that's what we got. I hear only compliments.)

Wonderful channel, great reviews! The only thing I could criticise is that you're talking wee bit faster than an understandable pace. Combined with a German accent, this doesn't help much occasionally. Try to slow down please... Keep up the good job!

[@mynamehaschanged]

It's not just making tha grill big, it's knowing how to design it to fit and look good. Audi made a great design and was welcomed and not criticised with it's big grill, on the other hand BMW seemed to just make it to follow the trend, (and I say it as an owner of 3 BMW's). I remember a time when BMW was leading in design and Audi following, but Audi took a step the right way and is leading now. I hope someday BMW hires a designer who has the feel of previous BMW designers. Every shape and form of previous BMW's had a reason and a concept behind, not anymore.

It’s a bit odd that the i4 in the UK can be configured with alcantara/sensatec but the petrol/diesel 4 series in the UK only comes in leather.

[@autogefuehl]

yeah weird

[@MatrixfanMacUser]

Hi all! When Thomas is comparing this car to the i4 does he mean the i4 e40 or the i4 m50? If the base model is comparable to the 6 cylinder m440i in terms of agility than the base model might be better than expected, and the given 0-100 in 5.7s might be on the conservative side.

[@arshzahed1970]

He is comparing it to the M50. There was no review event for the edrive40 (that the public knows about at least). I'd still expect the 5.5s measurement to be conservative, but probably not by as much as you may hope.

[@dofufu]

love the channel, not a big fan on that fake exhausts...

[@bikeomatic8005]

I imagine that’s a result of chip shortage that they don’t offer electric steering column adjustment in this model. MPerformance parts (spoiler, lip, grill etc.) are a rip off at the prices they are offering them in. For X models they don’t even add much in terms of style and looks but at ridiculous charge.

[@alanh2946]

The steering column adjustment is only available manually in the 4-series. But I find it very easy and quick to adjust, so it's no problem. I think you could only ever get power adjustment of the steering column on the 5-series and above.

[@Kolja1987]

9:08 Yes, I heard you say it. :)

They should have offered 300 ps version of the same engine to exist along 3.0 diesel. There is huge gap between 430i and 440i.

[@paullacey2999]

I see this car as a great advert for Audi.....

[@marc-adrienhallaire7310]

How about checking the so-called 50/50 split on a scale? It's hard to believe that the weight distribution of the 6-cylinder four-wheel drive is 50/50 when that of the 4-cylinder 2-wheel drive is already given as such.

[@alanh2946]

On the M440 Gran Coupe xDrive, it's not 50/50, but close -- 53/47 (according to BMW). I'm very happy with how mine feels on the curves.

[@Lokrion]

Wow! That grill doesn't look that bad in all black. It's the chrome outline that really ruins it.

[@jak493]

I might be missing something obvious but the 4 series grand coupe but if you want 4 doors, why not just go for the 3 series? The overlap is so close that I cant see the point?

[@alanh2946]

That's easy: Trunk space and smoother ride. The Gran Coupe has significantly more vertical cargo capacity than the 3 series. I know from actual experience, trying to fit a couple of 29" suitcases in my 2021 M340. It couldn't be done, either laying them on their sides (too wide side-by-side, too high stacked) or upright (not enough height). But I got them in the cargo bay of my 440i GC (after taking out the removable shelf). That settled it -- I exchanged the M340 for an M440. After getting it, I was pleased to realize the M440 GC also has a noticeably smoother ride than the M340 in both comfort and sport modes. Some credit may go to the slightly bigger tires (225 -> 245/40R19 on front, 255/35R19 -> 255/40R19 in back). It also has slightly more snap-crackle-pop in the exhaust sound, and features like remote engine start and LSD are now standard. If you like the front grille or flush door handles, those are additional bonuses.

[@limpunsing224]

It's a bit sexier except for the grille Good review, tho'

[@23Piccolina]

Thomas, my friends and I really do not like the front of these new BMW models. The design is not elegant and I would not opt to own this car.

[@alanh2946]

@@autogefuehl It was standard on the M440i I ordered (here in the U.S.) BUT due to the chip shortage, mine came with manual seats. I'm not happy about it, mainly because it means I don't have seat and mirror memory settings, but decided I could live with it. BMW lowered my price by $995. Unfortunately I found out it would be over $5000 to install power seats later.

[@hfmmin6761]

I drive an Audi 5RS SHOULD I switch to this BMW ?

[@alanh2946]

You mean the Audi RS5 sportback, right? Short answer: No. Although I myself got the M440i Gran Coupe (in the same color and trim shown), I would say No, don't feel you should switch from the Audi RS5 (or even S5) to a BMW M440i. The Audi RS5 has more power and weighs less, so it beats the M440 in race (see the Car Wow video) and maybe cornering. The M440i really crackles and pops nicely, and isn't rev-limited, but I wish it had big round tailpipes and wasn't quite so heavy. Thehe Audi has a sleeker design and a less controversial front end. The 4-series GC is a bit chunky and high. The interior of the Audi is also more elegant, and many prefer its round dials and electronic dashboard. (On the other hand, the BMW iDrive control interface is better, especially if the Audi lost its control wheel and console buttons.) The Audi offers cooled as well as heated front seats in colors beside black, the only choice for the BMW. Only the Audi has an option for massage seats. The RS5 is a $20K-higher-priced, more prestigious car, more comparable to the M-car in capability. But there is no BMW M4 sportback, only a 2-door coupe. Therefore the RS5 is naturally more rare & exclusive, and the next closest model is the Audi S5 (which is actually more of a direct competitor with the 440i GC in price and power). The Audi comes with a spare tire in the trunk. There's not even a space for a tempaspare under the floor of the trunk in the BMW or a strap system for one in the trunk. So you either get runflat tires (much improved vs. 10 years ago but more expensive to replace) -- or a can of Fix-a-Flat, an Extended Mobility Kit air/sealant pump, and a AAA membership. And watch out for potholes!

The M340i is NOT more practical if you need trunk space (only if you have adult passengers in the rear seat, maybe). I know, I had a 2021 M340i. It couldn't fit two large suitcases in the trunk. I returned it and got a 2022 M440i.

I also like the addition of limited slip differential and remote start as standard features (but maybe the '22 M340i also has these?).
