What your mpg were you getting? Official mpg figures are notoriously unreliable

[@davidionita4473]

Has this car softclose on the doors ?

[@moiggc]

Great review - no drama, no clichés, only the facts. Sounds like BMW has done their usual neatening up job on the LCI. It was already darn good beforehand.

[@driversseat659]

Giom Mouton many thanks, kind of you to say

[@binojhodiarra4472]

[@esteemedenergy]

Still, one of the most gorgeous cars on the planet. Amazing.

[@NBNAKITA]

do you have this car? or if not are you wanting to get one?

[@andycairns4620]

Owned my 440i for 4 months and love it! Endless power when you need it and super comfort. Beautiful B58 engine is so smooth and slick changes from the auto box make it a pleasure to drive. Always have a smile on my face when going out to drive it.....

[@dopiaza2006]

But for a small HP drop, you get way more torque and mpg from the 435d. Better 0-60 too. Of course, it doesn't sound so good but with fuel prices as they are I'll put up with it!

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

This car is gorgeous

[@landl190372]

What a great no nonsense review! All the information without any of the BS. Just bought the 435d x drive and it's the most fun I've had driving since owning a TVR, but far safer and cheap to run. If you're on the fence, don't be. Just treat yourself and get one.

[@jeticebane2042]

Holy shit that color though!

Great Video Review. I like the New BMW 440i M Sport Gran Coupe and I like the changes that have made

[@driversseat659]

Thanks Jamie. The changes are subtle but keep it feeling modern and fresh.

[@MID.1]

Great review mate! Straight to the point. Time well spent. Enjoyed watching it:) Keep up the good work. Cheers.

[@hedydd2]

"The auto is optional if you get the manual" Did I hear that?

[@driversseat659]

Hi Huw. All but the 440i, 330d, 335d are fitted with a standard six-speed manual gearbox. However, all those models can be selected with a cost optional automatic gearbox instead.

[@robenglish775]

Great review. I've got a 440i GC coming at the end of July. What colour was that leather? Opal white or Ivory White?

[@ivanlim9459]

OMG love that Color so Much 😍😍😍

its called snapper rocks blue and i agree it is an astonishing colour option.

[@martinrodin8236]

Do you guys know if the 4 series comes with "hook" LED daytime running lights as standard in the EU? Thanks! Very nice review in general, I enjoyed watching it. :)

[@driversseat659]

We believe they do. Best check with local country dealers though.

[@qiaonesen]

Those are the Icon LED lights, the standard lights look the same as the old ones.

[@martinmarinov505]

Looks stunning from the front and than he had to switch camera view. That lower black part of the back bumper and this tiny chrome exausts look so bad. They should make it look more like the M4 from the rear.

[@ryanmungwira5181]

That color tho... 🤤

[@billystutz55]

Hey great review! I have a serious question and would be grateful for an answer... I have 2 cars right now a GTI and a GT4. I really enjoy both cars but I am moving to a big city and will have 2 car tandem parking. So the GT4 will rarely get driven, so I am debating selling them both and getting just one car and I am thinking 435i or 440i gran coupe (I cycle and surf) so it makes sense. Would be grateful for some feed back.

its not a twin turbo... Single turbo, twin scroll inline six. B58 to be more accurate.

That colour ❤️😍😍🔥

[@sifatalam1188]

What's the color name?

[@clintj9870]

What is the name of that color please? We have Snapper Rocks blue here in the states but it looked a bit more green in your video. Whatever it is, I love it! Nice review.

[@TheN00bPolice]

It's snapper rocks blue. This is the colour it actually looks like. Most lenses on camera filter out the green and it looks more blue in a lot of pictures. I ordered this car and when I saw it in the flesh nearly had a heart attack as I hate green cars. I stood next to the car and took a picture on my iphone and the colour on my phone looks awesome but I was stood right in front of it and it looked completely green. Not to my taste.

[@clintj9870]

Appreciate your reply.

[@RCFunTime]

I'm sure the 440i is twin scroll turbo not twin turbo.

[@abdulmalikali4359]

For BMW 440i that's £45,490 I think it's better to buy and Audi RS3 which starts from £44,000. The BMW is nice though it has a beautiful colour to it. Great review.

[@driversseat659]

Many thanks.

[@mubblemann]

People looking for a 440i Gran Coupe aren't looking for a tiny Audi 3 series.

[@Paul-dr8tq]

With 9k of optional extras, you mean it is in the region of the M3/M4 price, not performance! I test drove the 340i before the M3, that was no where near as quick.

[@driversseat659]

Paul hi there. Reviewed the M4 in the morning of the 440i review and while the M4 is quicker, more focused and aggressive, the 440i on pace in the real-world isn't that far behind - it is however more refined and relaxed compared to the M4.

[@Paul-dr8tq]

Relaxed, definitely but then you buy the M3/M4 because it isn't, and those wide rear arches!

[@driversseat659]

Paul very true. What is true is that they are both terrific cars and BMW have covered both bases extremely well.

[@dardobartoli]

Great review, I have pre facelift 440i pretty much fully loaded and it is by far the best car I have ever owned (couple of 5 series before this). If you can only ever own 1 family car, then this might just be it (as long as it's only with 2 kids).

[@bloodydevil4117]

No the M sport has not a revised bumper design

It's 1 second slower than the m3, m4 from 0-60, I won't consider that as in the same territory.

[@blueberrycobbler]

Peter H wow, a whole second. 🙄

[@MP60]

blueberrycobbler putting that one second into perspective that’s about $5K for every 1/10 of a second. That’s why I bought the 440 over the M3. Saved $50K.

To have the Coupe style you lemon but still having the 4 doors. So for people like me who care more for the look then practicality it's worth it.

[@madboytaha100]

Why every Fousey colour gets copied ?

[@p.e.m.7831]

And this is why BMW is being sued. Even half the reviewers think these engines have twin turbos.

[@ranjithrajendram6541]

it's the 440i which does have 2 turbos , instead of the "twin power" single turbo you get in lower end engines. oh by the way the 335d has 2 turbos as well. It's not the reviewer who doesn't know his engines 😂

[@p.e.m.7831]

BMW USA website: 440i Coupe Specs: 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder, 24-valve 320-hp engine. Combines a twin-scroll turbocharger with variable valve control (Double-VANOS and Valvetronic) and high-precision direct injection.
