BMW 4 Series Coupe 2018 review | Mat Watson Reviews

The BMW 4 Series is a coupe without too many compromises. And it needs to be as it faces stiff competition from the stylish new Mercedes C-Class Coupe and the all-new Audi A5. But how does it stack up? Mat Watson puts the BMW 4 Series through the full carwow testing procedure. Join him as he evaluates the car's performance and handling, scrutinises the interior quality, evaluates the iDrive infotainment system and sees how practical the car is. The model tested in the video is the 420d X-Drive. However, the review is for the range as a whole and includes useful information on how the BMW 4 Series fares in terms of economy, running costs, reliability, safety, equipment levels and which model is the best buy.

Cheers Curley. Have you ever tried a hair straightener?

[@checkmateatheists532]

Did you spot the Easter egg in the video? It was the high amount of plastic used on the 4 series, kind of like Kim Kardashian.

[@Firemarioflower]

You're full of shit. And jealous. Both the 4series and Kim don't use plastic

[@junaidzaka2365]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[@gandalfmax]

And both have a spacious rear opening to fit all sorts of junk in it

[@appelpower1]

+gandalfmax To be fair, the 4 has a small boot opening. Try the 4GC if you want a big opening.

[@Firemarioflower]

appelpower1 Encouraging blasphemy as always, are we?

[@aratyal]

and just like kim k..."it has a big wide opening"

[@mcbalzer6121]

we do not really know if Kim has a big wide opening, it's only speculation Matt :)

I just bought 428xi coupe and I'm so happy with it.

[@Gantade]

I just bought a 2016 4 series a month ago. I also test drove the new benz c-class coupe. But in the end, I bought the 4 series. This car won me over because: 1. Handling is much better than the c-class coupe. 2. Backseats are much roomier. I tried sitting at the back of c-class coupe and I felt uncomfortable and my head touched the roof. On the other hand, I had no such problems with the 4 series. 3. The trunk is bigger and I have no problems putting few luggage in it. (Fantastic) 4. iDrive is much easier to learn But I must say that the new benz c-class coupe has much nicer interior. They are like a class ahead of the 4 series. :)

[@carwow]

Hope you enjoy the 4 Series Stephen - we agree with everything you say! Sometimes driving is more important than fancy leather and wood

[@mohamedcharlotte8085]

[@stretch90]

I just can't get myself to like the c class interior. That pop up screen looks terrible and the rest of the interior looks like it's trying too hard. I mean it isn't a big deal to me but I don't see why everybody else loves it so much. The rest of what you said I agree with.

[@truxton1000]

@@stretch90 I agree with your view on the Mercedes interior, many loves it but I don’t. My wife had one and I never liked it, neither did she. The big screen, the nasty cheap plastic, no thank you. Even if the BMW’s interior might be more “old fashioned” (in a good way) I like it much more. Modern does not always mean good.

[@flizzy4645]

Just get the red or cream interior. It makes it look more modern imo. Black looks really dated in the bmw compared to its competitors

[@dsiwireless]

Overall this video provides accurate general info. But one thing is, the seat does automatically move back and forth by just pressing the forward-back button once, it will move and back to its memorized position. If you press and hold the button like what the guy did in the video, it will continuously move until you let go the button to your desired position. (It says in the manual as well).

Finally i waited so long for this review

[@kkswun]

Just tap the seat slide button and let go, it'll slide automatically.

[@carwow]

Wut. Thanks!

[@alexedwardshasanhakim8707]

Oh wow! Even though it's still not as automatic as the Mercedes

[@LazeeIsMee]

Can someone explain if this is a 2017 model, as it was recorded on 20/4 and the car is a 65 plate, thanks in advance

[@Eleanour]

Love the exterior, it's just the interiors of all the BMWs need to be updated just a little bit IMO. Still a solid car though. 👍

[@Tristiam]

Nope, interiors are sick!

[@Markisveryepic]

review the gran coupe of this car please!

[@alexandruparausanu1038]

When Mat was talking about how much you can fit in the boot(Y) I didn't know at what boot(y) he was referring to ... "quite useful, you can fit a lot of stuff in it" hmm :))

[@Vlad-zw9od]

omg you always pick the most interesting cars to review keep up

[@samirbenlembarek2526]

This channel definitely deserves more subs.

[@davesatay5563]

So many 'reviews' are just fanboy sales pitches. You actually mention the good and bad of this car, much appreciated. I'm subscribing.

[@sheldonhall]

Have they improved the steering feel in the facelifted version? How does the steering compare to the previous generations 3ers?

[@TaiwanLYC]

for bmw front seat you don't have to hold the button. just press once it will move forward by itself. I'm a 2 series owner so i know

[@mousemouse1684]

Don't forget the rear cup holders in the arm rest, and you don't need to hold the button to slide the seats back just south them once :)

[@user-im7oq5ev4j]

You have the best revwues!

[@oalsaker]

Did they release the 2018 model back in 2016?

[@CryptoChangingTheWorld]

Matt, you left your phone in the back seat!

[@HyadumHH]

The review is good as expected, but there are some sound quality issues, and the volume is rather low.

[@nabeel.]

Matt, can you please do CLA / GLA anytime soon please? Love your reviews bud.

[@bodrulm1]

I actually prefer the 4 door version Gran Coupe and own the 430d M Sport variant. it's the pick for economy with amazing performance: 0-60 5.4s and easily get 40mpg+ with normal (and some spirited) driving with a 6 cylinder engine! that's madness. the tailgate is better on the GC, it's a hatch with full access to boot space and it's powered open/close - very cool and convenient. access to rear seats is better obviously too. looks as good aesthetically. 30d, 40d, 40i M Sport all come with standard autobox, pro media and amazingly full electric seats with profile memory function! I love the low slung seat position. amazing car - 3 months ownership and continues to bring me and my wife smiles. alternatives I looked at were A5 and Jaguar XE, but overall package on the 4 was best followed closely by XE

[@MrR5000]

XE is an embarrassment. It's another Ford Mondeo with a "posh" badge. A5 3lt quattro on the other hand.... ❤️

[@TG-mt6ke]

35d not 40d in these but the new models u get 40d

[@Goji_gaming_loves_god]

You missed the cup holders in the rear arm rest dude

how loud is the 4 series? and would it be much quieter if i went for the petrol instead of a diesel? please help

[@martinrodin8236]

Does anyone know if the BMW 4 facelift has "hook design" LED daytime running lights as standard in the EU?

[@geoffreystephen6840]

I've got one of these 420d, Love it, and it really does make more than 60mpg. Smashing!

[@camwat5193]

I average 48/49 in mine. I could imagine you might get 60mpg at a motorway cruise controlled 60 mph but in general use can’t see that happening unfortunately.

[@joelk7424]

Are you satisfied with the power of the 420d as I'm looking between 420 and 430

[@fdmc2278]

Great review Mat!! 4 coupe is very good looking car, interior bit old. Merc and Audi coupes are newer and nice looking but with entire package 4 is still benchmark.

[@themeparksandcoasters]

Is CarPlay available in this model

[@IamMannyLaws]

Thanks Mat. Really Helpful. So what would you recommend out of the 3 series and 4 series?

do an updated review of the m4

can i request a comparison between bmw 4-series/m4 and z4?

Good review but why no mention of the Audi A5 seems a bit strange as the A5 is a direct competition car... or is it because the new model A5 is not out yet?

[@c3vzn]

Would rather 60fps than 4K. Most of us don't have 4K monitors.

[@conortennyson6210]

Having never owned a bmw would anyone recommend a 2018 420i m sport? Don't do the miles to warrant a diesel. Also its manual gearbox. Is the automatic better in the petrol versions? Any help appreciated

[@chinchu7000]

Auto is a lot better as it’ll have less gearbox problems than a manual one would as it would need to be replaced eventually

[@korgond]

have you noticed that there is no wiper on the rear window! because there is no rear visibility in the car.

[@NexordoMr]

le bleue estoril est juste magnifique

[@JoeAchilles1]

Another great review Mat. They haven't sold the 428i for over three months in the UK, it's now badged as a 430i. After having a 430i on loan recently I have to disagree with you and say it's the most pointless car of the 4 series range. Go 420d for cheap and cheerful, 430d is pick of the bunch, 440i if you have the money and actually want sports car... 🖒

[@THEG12EG]

435d?

Much better looking than the new model, when these cars become Classics the big grill versions will be much cheaper than these models which looks great, bet they will age well too.
