The BMW 4 Series Coupe can be seen as either a more stylish 3 Series saloon with a larger boot, or a four-door version of the regular 4 Series Coupe. But does it work in the real world and is it worth the extra money?

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@markjarrett6083]

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

[@wakandaforever5732]

Mark Jarrett lol BURNNNNEDDD

[@daveholloway8780]

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

[@aks8291]

great review. Thanks for posting. Very informative

[@hafizwidjojo3058]

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

[@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

[@paulleach2231]

Are the electronic dials standard?

[@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☻

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@smitty67us]

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

[@wrathgar11]

Great car review. Thank you.

[@julienxu]

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

[@sachaallong5838]

Good video and well presented.

[@loducawarrior]

Terrific review. Love my 430i.

[@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

[@hoppysport2872]

Nice review and a great car!

[@James-ec7qx]

Good review thanks

[@gbthegreat]

Concise and precise review.

[@makstod6903]

Thank you, found it helpful.

[@loducawarrior]

Good review. Love mine.

[@tomslater319]

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

[@aliguven2916]

Nice review 👍

[@martinjames6942]

A lot of car to review, honest and comparisons useful

[@callumdcw]

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

[@longtailgt]

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

[@thepeaceathome]

is it a rolex mil gauss on her wrist?

[@cyemenli]

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

[@caroracle2658]

Good review :-)

[@menifo4334]

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

[@richardikin]

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

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

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

[@loducawarrior]

Terrific video. Nice car. ;)

[@Beautivoll]

Thanks. Love you!

[@Xnatur]

Whats the color?

[@wallansanassy3274]

Btw where’s James ?

[@milosmladjen1101]

I love this car 😍😍😍

[@Gambantein]

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

[@rahmann936]

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

[@salaheddine8321]

the best review

[@mubarakmoosa8215]

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

[@imadkhan3633]

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

[@Tommymazzel]

Great car & presentor

[@kagolko]

James looks fab after the surgery.

[@Coresake]

I liked her review

[@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...

[@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

[@z00h]

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

[@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 ; )

[@johnnywires943]

Pie and mash and some jellied eels love?

[@Sandouras]

The car is almost at the twilight of its production and now you remember to review it? Lol.

[@Arturo124]

wow those leg wise

[@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.

[@dt8607]

I’m in love

[@frzen]

60mpg diesel or a 'frugal' 47mpg petrol. wat?

[@shahzadqayum3678]

Can't believe all the hate for the presenter .

[@L77yma]

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

[@maksymtt]

CLA vs 4 Series GranCoupe vs A5 Sportback

[@georgiivanov61]

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

[@hamedmohammed3548]

Lil bit is just fine.. Carry on

[@Thevoiceofreason84]

Nice millgaus

[@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.

[@iamnotfalling]

Nice rolex

[@TerribleTimes]

Whoa, to NA ears her accent is like something from a Guy Ritichi movie, easy on the eyes, a bit robotic delivery but man those long vowels are a fookin riought.

[@alexandrevergne7941]

3:39 Rolex Milgauss ;)

[@ademrushiti8937]

haha i noticed it also as soon as the video started

[@Whytie__]

Love the outfit 😂

[@thormaster06]

Why are we hating on this girl?

[@shanjanusman9974]

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

[@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.

[@OscarLeeMX]

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

[@wass006]

They Diss James who was actually very good

[@markopavlovic7353]

Great video and goood looking presenter 😍

[@bieight8]

No third head rest!

wow absolutely stunning, perfect for me!

[@richardshiggins704]

Puss in the boots or the BMW ?

bring back Batch & Ginny !!

No water storage is gonna be very noticeable after you eat all them crisps

[@jamiep61]

Great Video Review. I like the Essex Accent

[@fireblade8905]

James you are buff

[@abekkaou]

Give her chance guys

[@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.

[@cgmat7804]

Nice Rolex Milgauss

[@dierotepillephilosophie1428]

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

[@jamiepolson]

Out of focus?? Soft focus?? Or is it just me....

[@RaahPolo]

Why do all these car reviewers look Cross eyed when they look at the camera

[@stuartwilliams7371]

I’m surprised the packet of Crisps lasted as long as they did????

[@dickyknees3877]

Reminds me of an eastenders character, and the 435d tested here is not range topping, the 440i is.

[@davidvarela8739]

why they call it a coupe? is a 5 door, maybe if they hide the exterior rear handles like the alfa romeo 156 ...I can argue all night long with 2:19 I'm ready to jump in the other back seat to start a conversation...etc
