Alex, TRIPLE AWESOME REVIEW! Finally a reviewer that knows how to review. No music for starters. Went thru the whole 430i first and pointed out "all" the knobs, levers, and features. Favorite part was the slow-mo on the convertible top and described it in detail. Next favorite part was the 3 cameras while driving. Then a great wrap up comparing the competition. THANK YOU! I'm going to buy one today and feel great for the purchase I made. Thanks to you and your review! Keep up the informative reviews.

I kind of agree with Alex that the 430i is a better buy than the m440i but I think Alex is missing one thing when it comes to convertible: engine sound. You would like to hear your engine whenever the top is down. the 4 cylinder engine just don’t sound any good and for that reason, I would take the inline 6.

Drove a 2022 430i convertible yesterday. The 4 pot mill sounded really throaty, and the turbo whine was perfect. It's also a hell of a bit more than '255' hp. Felt closer to 300 than not. It also hit 35mpg on the highway @ 73mph on cruise.

I still cannot get used to the large grill, and I think that it is ugly. However, I may turn to see it as better looking once I see more of them on the street. Currently, I prefer 2 or 8 convertibles because their grills are smaller and of a shape to which I have been used.

I love the front grill. It grows on you. Looking at it I think of the word ATTITUDE especially with the M440i conv I purchased. As a purist, I love only the rear wheel drive. I've had great luck with 5 different BMW'S (two 3 series, two 5 series, one four series) over the years.

Alex, You hit a home run! I too love the front (hot lips?), and found this same car with 864 miles on it about 3 years ago. It has been a life changer. The only difference, is mine has a wood look around the console and door below button panels, rather than the aluminum look which is totally cool (reminds me of airplane inspired work). This car has been a game changer on mountain roads and cruises fine on highways to your favorite beach. Heaters in headrests seems like a luxury extra, but makes sense if you want to drive in convertible mode on a 45 degree day. Two of the best features are the heads up display and the device that fits in the back seat that reduces noise and also keeps ac/heater more focused in the front, and allows my wife’s hair to remain in place. Kudos!

I have one on order. I was debating getting a 440i but really did not need the extra power. Get the sport package, order the extended shadowline trim to blackout the large front grille and it hides it. In my state you have to have a front plate so it breaks it up and it is not bad. The rest of the car rocks. Can't wait to pick it up.

The low sales of the 4 series is attributed to low demand for coupes and convertibles. The controversial grille might be another reason for its low sales. For example, this grille doesn't look good on the 3 and 4 series, but it looks fine on the ix.

Alex, this is great comparison against these three known brands. Ever since BMW started making every model (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4 series) I lost track how each of these models compare to each other. My all time favorite since the '80s has been the 3 series, thus I wonder how these 4 series compares to the 3 series. Handling/performance and pricing. Thank you...

Great video. Thank you! The different position of the engine between the Audi and BMW makes more difference than I realized. That, along with BMW's underrating of their output, means that the A5 and the BMW4 didn't even feel like a fair comparison to me. Was trying to decide between an Audi cabriolet (A5 initially) and a BMW 4-series convertible. I drove the A5 first and was not impressed. It felt like a cheaper car than I would have expected, and I was disappointed by the acceleration. I was pleased with the S5. Going over to the BMW dealer I planned to drive the 430, fully expecting the same thing to happen: disappointment with the 4 cylinder and preference for the 440's inline 6. I was wrong! The BMW 430i felt *nothing* like the Audi A5. As you said, Alex, I think the BMW 430 convertible is the way to go.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The gigantic shnoze is like the foot-tall Polo logos you find on the Ralph Lauren shirts they sell in outlet malls: they made the logo bigger for the nouveau-riche who don't have a refined sense of taste. This goes well with a Richard Mille watch, but if you understand what I'm saying, then you know why Patek Phillipe watches don't have gigantic emblems and splashy lettering.

Whenever I see German cars I immediately start thinking of the added costs involved in their maintenance, especially if having a dealer perform that maintenance. Not that they aren't reliable but to keep them at the top of their game they do demand more from the owner. Likewise, if one expects to own one for a number of years down the road that maintenance becomes doubly important. Allowing things to go too long and the bill to get all things squared can be crazy expensive. The cost of ownership.

Don't like the grille, but I'd get used to it. I still like the car overall a lot more than the Mercedes, which looks like it's melting. However, I'm also cheap, so I'd have to consider the Audi, the cheapest of the trio, and overall the prettiest. The nose heaviness wouldn't bother me that much in a grand touring car. If I wanted a canyon carver I'd buy a Cayman. The only compelling advantage the BMW offers is its top design, which is clever and looks surprisingly good when up. The Mercedes top is undersized, like it's holding an undersized purse umbrella over its head.

I think of the Audi A5 vs the S5 as comparable to the 430i to the 440i. The A5 is quite boring to drive but the S5 is way elevated from it. Maybe not better than the BMW and the most fun on 4 wheels, but I can’t imagine the 430i beating the sound and acceleration of the 440i. Middle ground is usually where you want to be. The M4 is too much.

A fantastic review, thank you for that! We just returned from Hawaii, where we had the 430i as a rental on both islands, and I was thrilled by the handling. Best convertible experience of my life. If it comes to the front grille (0:15 ff): The worse thing is that the license place has no place, and it is kind of 'slapped atop' of the grille, looking ridiculous. The German word for it is "abscheulich," English is "heinous." But, we sit in the car and are not forced to look at it, when we are in drivers heaven, right?

True enough, the Accord 2.0 is a real sleeper. But in regards to the 430i above, the two most likely aren't cross-shopped. I personally don't dwell on 0-60 times between cars unless there's a vast difference between them. A tenth of a second here, a tenth there means very little out in the real world. In fact, I think it can be argued that most maximum performance criteria means little out on the street, the track being a totally different place. Buying a car is such a personal, often irrational decision, that practical sense often has little to do with it.

It depends on the size of the car. The smaller the car is, the uglier the grille will look on it. At least that's how it is for BMW. Other manufacturers tend to scale down their grilles to fit the cars they are put on.

Whoever started that whole top to bottom grill trend needs to find a new line of work.

Well, you're going to have to go back to the earlier half of the last century because that is a very old and classic grille design for BMW and many others. I think the newer horizontal grille is hideous.

That car should replace Daffy Duck’s parade float from Looney Tunes Show. I mean, it looks abnormal like Daffy is.

Love the look of the new 4-Series, i just think the rest of the car looks bland compared to that front grill.

Is the fabric top high maintenance? I mean, would I need to spend a lot of money and time to keep it in a good condition, so that it will not leak on a rainy day? Or is it sorta maintenance free?

Had mine for 2+ years. Never even considered having to do anything to maintain it. The soft top is an incredible design.

No mention of a Z4? I love mine but not sure on the future or status.... It's a WAY lighter car with more horsepower (I got the 3.5 version).... I used to have a 335i convertible which was awesome but went the other way with sizing "down" to a Z4.... Unless I didn't hear it, I don't believe there was a mention and I think it's still a valuable car, just with much worse styling lately.
