BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 2018 review - Carbuyer

[@dj331]

4 series is so much nicer looking than the 3 series

[@BrokenFiddles]

How unfortunate that a native English speaker is discriminated on her accent. The lady had a clear and energetic delivery. I think she did a great job. I could not have done half as good review.

[@danware8141]

What's with the hate? I hope the presenter doesn't read the comments. She's doing just fine. She did nothing wrong. Her voice doesn't sound robotic or scripted. Yeah, she's not having all the fun that maybe Mat is having .. not yet at least .. but that doesn't mean that she's doing a bad job. She's lovely and seems to know what she's supposed to talk about. Keep up the work, it's just people hating on changes.

[@versace6928]

Jesssus all these hate comments She literally did nothin wrong lmfao its her first time what do you expect -.- Never-less CARWOW is the best

[@jojbouk]

lol exactly! she did perfectly fine, relax everyone

[@darkpill]

Carwow? With that gay guy who only cares how many candy bars fit in the glove box?

[@shanjanusman9974]

@@darkpill I think Sophie is gorgeous 😍 as a straight man I would say she is just elegant and sexy.

[@markjarrett6083]

Came here for a car review not The only way is Essex . I’m Off to CARWOW

[@wakandaforever5732]

Mark Jarrett lol BURNNNNEDDD

[@Alexasdfghjkl99]

Don't like her presenting style. Too formal and too corporate sounding.

[@tattoodrdoke]

Alex Wright corporate bods like watching appentice just gets under my skin and makes my skin crawl.

[@anotherdummyuser4599]

Give her a break, it's probably her first time doing something like this. We're too used to the likes of Ginny or James who have plenty of experience and aren't worried about not doing a proper job for their corporate masters. Let's all just give her a chance to shine.

[@hf7188]

So, everyone was complaining about James being annoying, flamboyant, etc, etc.... and now that he isn't here, everyone asks about him and dismiss a new presenter..... gotta love internet consistency. About her, i give a pass, everyone has to start from somewhere.

[@oOJakkeOo]

Hugo Fernandes Finally, I found one decent comment in this hateful place. I think she did a decent job. Very good if she hasn’t practiced recorded journalism before.

[@thokozanigab]

Haha I actually liked James though even though he did have a cold vampire vibe☻

[@itzfaza9095]

Don’t I wish old carbuyer I’m sorry but I’m not a fan of the new reviewers I’ll just stick with mat at carwow much more entertaining reviews

[@menifo4334]

itz Faza That's the only thing Mat is good at since carwow... being cute.

[@swapnil2868]

I agree, mat is the best!!,👍👍👍👍👍Also Rebecca now works at the telegraph cars so you can still watch her there

[@tom-y9p]

Never thought I'd say this. Bring back James!

[@klasseact6663]

James always sounded like it was natural and from the heart...NOT rehearsed.

[@franciscovillabrille4212]

Klasse Act Doesn’t matter, there will always be Matt. CarWow

[@Sandouras]

Agreed.

[@Birmingham_racing]

Not at the start and there was a time mat and Rebecca sounded scripted until they got more experience

[@motoriety]

Only a few months ago, people were bashing James. People are just resistant to change.

[@atoonstra4958]

Voice is a bit harsh at some moments, editing on the peaking of her voice should make it more listen-able

[@emmanuelf8552]

I think this review is pretty straight forward. I own a 2019 430 gran coupe and its a super fun car to drive compared to an Audi and gives better gas mileage along side the interior tech features are very hard to fins elsewhere. I do have to state that the Audi is a smoother ride but its not a technologically sound or as fun to drive but Audi has the best price fro tech, luxury and brand.

[@samanvayasharma200]

Too bland , too robotic , seemed like i was attending a class Even the guy does a better job than this Just constructive criticism

[@nelsonmcnamara]

Give her some time =) we all have "first day"

[@VjRocker007]

Are you reviewing the car or trying to sell it to me? This video had no criticism of the car's interior, exterior or driving dynamics...

[@callumdcw]

Panel gap is shocking at 0:25 between the bonnet and front bumper.

[@julien0964]

James, Ginny and Nicki...Why didn't you just stop there?😂

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

Geez some people here - guess they were "perfect" when they started a new job hey lol?

[@richardikin]

Plus, you guys obviously don't know that Sophie is a racing driver...

[@imandehbozorg961]

stop hating guys, she is not the issue. the issue is us being old and afraid of any changes! I enjoyed the review more of her plz!

[@hafizwidjojo3058]

I feel like I'm sitting in a classroom and she is in front teaching me with a whiteboard full of texts.

[@paddydowney6269]

I’ve got one of these in msport estoril blue for 2.5 years - love love it. Best of all worlds. I never keep a car this long but I don’t envisage selling it

[@wallansanassy3274]

Btw where’s James ?

[@smitty67us]

i need help with getting android auto to work in mine? Please and thank you

[@daveholloway8780]

Anybody know if you can get golf clubs in the back of these?

[@thepeaceathome]

is it a rolex mil gauss on her wrist?

[@kagolko]

James looks fab after the surgery.

[@cyemenli]

Well, Matt raised the bar so high that I enjoy no other reviewers -_-

[@Xnatur]

Whats the color?

[@wrathgar11]

Great car review. Thank you.

[@imadkhan3633]

the best 420i review - this car is not famous in the media 😞 it is mainly 5 series and 3 series people talk most

[@mubarakmoosa8215]

I'm pretty sure the digital display is an extra and not standard

[@georgiivanov61]

The Rolex is nice. And the good things in this video end here.

[@loducawarrior]

Terrific review. Love my 430i.

[@aks8291]

great review. Thanks for posting. Very informative

[@sachaallong5838]

Good video and well presented.

[@rowanmason3428]

Is it me or the video keeps on getting louder then quieter?

[@mtmattan1]

Rowan Mason She has her mic on the left side of her shirt. soft when she looks right, LOUD when she looks left

[@paulleach2231]

Are the electronic dials standard?

[@asb1439]

"....the dials in front of you, because they are electronic" (58 secs mark). Who says "electronic" dial? Digital display is the term used if you are into your cars.

[@thormaster06]

Why are we hating on this girl?

[@shanjanusman9974]

thormaster06 I don't know why but she looks sexy to me.

[@menifo4334]

It was about time we saw some new faces with carbuyer.

[@aliguven2916]

Nice review 👍

[@goncalocarvalho4917]

everyone bashing on the reviewer, well maybe i am different, i really like her accent, and voice and new face to the channel, welcome and don´t worry about the naysayers they were all perfect on their first day at work you know ; )

[@rahmann936]

Another new presenter on carbuyer. How many is that now 4?

[@Gambantein]

So 33cl of water is not enough? Why 150cl?

[@martinjames6942]

A lot of car to review, honest and comparisons useful

[@James-ec7qx]

Good review thanks

[@longtailgt]

Fine review, but how many times do you have to mention the A5 lol?

[@z00h]

Is that Milgauss fake? How much do you pay if it isn't.

[@wass006]

They Diss James who was actually very good

[@loducawarrior]

Good review. Love mine.

[@jibreeeeel94]

Accent is painful to listen to.

[@canto_v12]

It's pretty normal by UK standards. Is your 'Murrican accent painful as well?

[@freestate3235]

No , your right ,it sounds like she almost has a lisp 😂

[@wayfaringcookie8142]

Normal by UK standards? Your having a laugh, perhaps if all you watch is Eastenders you may think that.

[@karlpeart1752]

jibreeeeel94 u wouldn't b saying that if she was on top of you lol

[@karlpeart1752]

Free State who cares

[@gbthegreat]

Concise and precise review.

[@OscarLeeMX]

Why does everyone hate her accent? I can understand it perfectly well, and I'm not even British.

[@Coresake]

I liked her review

[@MasterSteve_117]

Don’t know what everybody is complaining about. She was natural and sad nothing wrong.

[@jamiep61]

Great Video Review. I like the Essex Accent

[@soundseeker63]

I actually hate electronic dials. Never as attractive as a well made set of analog gauges. They need to stop this whole water and crisps nonsense! I have literally NEVER met a single person who puts crisps in their glove box or big bottles of water in their door bins.

[@scringe1]

I found it kind of strange too. The huge water bottle looked like it belonged in a kitchen. Of course that size won't fit in a 4 series.

[@oneway1403]

It is done as a clear reference point. We all roughly know the size of a 1,5L bottle or 150gr packet of crisps.

[@ONhistoryplus]

You can tell when motoring journalists have children or not... it is unlikely you'll have a child in the middle seat at the back because they need to have a car seat until they are 12 years old or 135cm tall. Few child car seats will fit the middle seat AND make it comfortable for those on the outer rear seats.

[@makstod6903]

Thank you, found it helpful.

[@shahzadqayum3678]

Can't believe all the hate for the presenter .

[@MrRainbowUnicorn95]

Please check your facts! The SE only available on the Gran Coupe, and the M Sport package is available on the entire engine range.

[@stubones]

Just had to fact check you there and after checking the BMW UK website you are partially incorrect. The 420D GC in sDrive and xDrive have the SE trim option, but they are the only ones.

[@MrRainbowUnicorn95]

stubones Good spot! I've just edited my comment.

[@Mike500]

I don't get the negative comments about the voice or accent? Sounds perfectly fine for my German ears, must be a British thing... i can certainly hear the difference between different British accents, but none of them have a negative connotation from the get-go. It depends on each individual person and not an entire accent.

[@hoppysport2872]

Nice review and a great car!

[@yudhabagaskara98]

Early 2016: viewers complaint about mat's disappearance and james' review Early 2018: viewers complaint about james' disappearance and more feminist approach to make carbuyer looked like british version of cartell tv from australia

[@abekkaou]

Give her chance guys

[@rafa.gastro]

I think she did fine. I think all people moaning and complaining with this lady are the same people who destroy James in his first videos.

[@L77yma]

The dials are now electronic ?!? Say Whaaaaat !!!!

[@larslindmark5531]

This presenter is actually appealing. She just needs to work on being a little more relaxed and also speaking with a softer and slightly darker voice. I like her. The car seems to be fine too.

I am just reading the comments and guys, let's give her chance. You all warmed up to James, didn't you?

[@maksymtt]

CLA vs 4 Series GranCoupe vs A5 Sportback

[@stubones]

I don't know why BMW persist with the comedy ride height on the 3 and 4 series xDrive models. The 5 and 7 series xDrive models don't ride that high so there is no excuse, and aftermarket springs can be fitted to lower the car which still work with the adjustable dampers.

[@Aviadhikari]

Women doing motoring journalism! Jesus equality is amazing!

[@hsvcommodore4111]

The new reviewer is much more Honest, she Doesn t Tell u that it’s The best car just because it’s a bmw, like James does! I like it!
