Why The 435i Gran Coupe Is BETTER Than The 3 Series!

[@brandonfriesen5389]

I work at BMW and the 4 series is my favorite BMW car. But with the 4 Gran Coupe, as Jeremy Clarkson says about the 6 series Gran Coupe, it's a 4 door version, of a two door version, of a four door version.

[@WatcherPlane]

Brandon Friesen does this car actually go 0-60 in 4.6 seconds? Does the 440i gran coupe do the same 0-60, or do you need to get a higher engine option, just wondering, thanks

[@brandonfriesen5389]

So the 440 is more powerful than the 435 by a decent margin(300 vs 320hp) The 435 Coupe does 4.6, the 440 is 4.4, both are identical with 4WD or RWD. Then you can get and M Power Kit as an option for both the old 435, and new 440, which adds 35hp in both of them. So with the M Power Kit, take off another 0.2 seconds for your 0-60 time. So the M Performance Package for the 435 will be 325hp and do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, and the 440 will be 355hp and do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. But those are coupes, if you get the Gran Coupe, it's much heavier, so add 0.3 seconds to 60 for the 435 and 440 in gran coupe form. If you go cabriolet, it's even heavier so add on 0.5 seconds to 60. Lots to take in, but I hope this makes sense. The only model above the 435/440 with the M Performance Package will be the M4.

[@gyaan01]

Brandon Friesen 300+35=335 :) Maybe this is a sign to buy a 3 series! Btw I thought the stock 435i is 305 hp.. (?)

[@hazimakbatur2666]

@@brandonfriesen5389 Is the 4.40i gran coupe almost head to head with the m4 speedwise?

[@dragos9134]

Hazim Akbatur It keeps up with the M4 because of the AWD

[@thedownshiftchannel]

I just checked the specs , and you are right, how the fuck is that even possible.300 hp beats 500 hp???? it is weird and impressive at the same time.

Sooo basically drop the 3 series lol

[@jonasbaine3538]

An m3 wagon touring in USA would be excellent

[@zatharos6427]

Why the hell is this just not called the M435i? If the 2 series can pull it off, the 4 should be able to do the same

[@guillaumechartrand4115]

PARKER...LIKE LITERALLY YOUR BEST REVIEW

[@jpg393]

The 4 series was differentiated from the 3 series coupe to compete with the Audi A5 as a standalone model. Along with that came the 4 series gran coupe to compete with the Audi A5 sport back, a four door hatch back, which wasn't available in North America in the last generation but will be with the new one.

[@greenespirit4973]

I wish there were more lower budget oriented cars here instead of just overly expensive german cars that im not intrested in. Its your channel but id watch it way more if there if there were cars for the people with budgets of some where from 10k-30k

[@realtywithseankemp9704]

Greenespirit yea but that shit is boring I don't want to know what poor people think is cool. Plus if you can't get a loan on a car worth $30k then you probably need to start looking at other channels

[@greenespirit4973]

AMG or BUST I mean if s2k, 350z, wrx, 240sx and cars like those are boring than we have very different taste lol

[@greenespirit4973]

Asphodel You obviously dont know anything about cars then. I bet everyone of these cars tuned will beat whatever your drive. Also this channel was made to help people to choose their first car with a low budget. Ignorant car sheep smh

[@greenespirit4973]

Asphodel Check out boostedboiz channel, He has 10k into his civic including the cost of the car stock and he is making 600hp. that will desimate any heavy ass luxury car you drive.

[@AsifLicious]

[@LegendInThaMakin]

A four door version of a two door version of a four door car. Go home bmw, you drunk.

[@7oyful]

Almost correct. This is a five door car.

[@_baller]

Lol yep

[@_baller]

So 3 series sedan and 4 series sedan is the universe imploding

[@Aceabe25]

The 3 series is in kahoots with the 5 series and the 4 series is in kahoots with the 6 series hense why the 4 and the 6 have the gran coupe. it's the same with the x SUV's. All the even numbers are more wide, sleek and aggressive looking compared to the odd numbers

[@kota4802]

The 3 series should look like this honestly.

[@3series35i]

I have an e92 335i and i gotta say while the f32 435i is great there's just something about the e92 335i that makes it special that's beyond looks and power, gotta love it.

[@chewsingh2745]

I will always love my E34 5 series. That car ran forever well above 200k even though I drove it 60 miles+ a day.

[@hen913]

Well Merc really needed to redesign their interiors. They looked really aged. At least BMW interiors still look great and are incredibly functional. The LCI now has a full digital instrument cluster option.

[@turbos7780]

Henry. Exatly i was about to say that

[@John-cq7vt]

Henry. They are starting to put their S-Class interior into vehicles.

[@darthreven786]

Henry. what are you talking about? have you been in the world for the past 2 years? all Mercs interiors have set a new premium for luxury cars.

[@A_guan]

Henry. I mean C E and S class are redesigned so Idk what you're talking about. The suvs though, other the GLC are in need of a new interior

[@hen913]

Bob Cheesy well yeah I'm talking about their interiors previous to the update. That's what he's talking about in the video. Merc was desperately due for an update and they did it. It looks good now. But I'm saying BMWs changes have been subtle because it consistantly works great and still looks good at the same time.

[@clax5612]

You and Doug DeMuro need to do a collab.

[@peterjada78]

Every time you review a new car I go and start checking prices. Then I remember I'm only a 21 year old student with thousands of dollars of loans... *Upside down smiley face*

[@mdcohen]

Parker, your reviews are getting great. I'd love to see more reviews on the channel. As others are saying some older and more affordable cars would be welcome.

[@mrigas1]

Michael Cohen no one is interested in old cars so you go visit old videos to find what you need cause Parker will lose views if he does that take that dude in blue's mg video for example

[@mdcohen]

I'm talking 90s and 2000s like his M5 and E46 M3. There are a lot of cars from the that have depreciated and in many ways better than new cars for the same money. I understand the value proposition of porn (latest Lambo) but I'm interested in things I can attain too.

[@MrBrown78]

First! And thankyou guys for accepting the Porsche Panamera review! Can't wait

[@MrBrown78]

Tyler Cochran oh ok thankyou

[@wristoww]

The 4 series is great, and maybe I'm a bit biased as an F30 335 owner, but there's no denying that the 3 series is amazing too, especially in estoril blue!

[@Jonny2by4]

Honestly if you wanted a sports car and with the way this 440 would be optioned, you might as well get an M3

[@AArata63]

That interior is perfect for a drivers car with enough knobs and buttons for the daily used functions, instead of putting almost all functions in a touch screen. And with today's customer demand to have 2-3 cars in one and luxury being very important for them, these cars must have a quiet cabin to be pleasing. Specially considering the prices in this segment.

[@andrewkerman5347]

Gran coupe is a nicer looking car!

[@Ezero8]

This is very accurate and why I really want a 435i Gran Coupe.

[@jamshirgoorabian505]

I just bought a 2016 BMW 428i Gran Coupe and I'm in love with it....although it's the slower version, the sport and sport+ modes are pretty damn great with absolutely amazing throttle response. The only thing I wish would've improved is the graphics on the display. The dynamic headlights are amazing, looks are amazing, 50-50 weight distribution is a huge characteristic and the HUD is very very practical. You can get a used 4 series in the upper $20 grand with less than 20,000 miles. I'd highly recommend looking at it.

[@pulixpulix2420]

Very good review dude, very objective. I's just curious how old are you because I saw a video when you said that you have no time on your hands and you're busy with school. Again, I love your reviews and keep up the good work. Regards

[@72breezy]

That all black interior made my heart melt. I’m definitely getting this car next week. Was gonna go with 3 series but I like this

[@SoccerBoi500]

I honestly was not a fan of BMW interiors until I drove the new X5 M Sport for a few days. Idk it's hard to explain but the interior just works. The seats are comfy and infinitely adjustable. The Harmon Kardon system is banging. iDrive is dead easy to use and extremely intuitive. The gauges are crisp and clear. You never even have to take your eyes off the road cause the HUD let's you see your speed, scroll through music, etc. The steering wheel feels good in your hand everything just feels nice. It's one of those things you have to experience to appreciate.

[@joebloggs4191]

+SoccerBoi500 and sadly that is something most people commenting here won't get to experience as they are too busy salivating over shiny flashy Merc. interiors.

[@KRBY555]

your reviews are actually really good now. You need an LA make over and a channel name rebrand.

[@VKEvilution]

I've always thought it was a manual transmission shy of perfection. One apparent benefit to an insulated cabin - your voice comes in clear as a bell at every bitrate, whether at home on my desktop through a SoundBlaster or when trucking on my beat up Moto G. Try this with exhaust notes: When EA wants to capture the 'spirit' of the exhaust tones for Need for Speed, they put the mic in the trunk/boot. Try a couple miles of driving with a mic above and below the mat. With any European car, gratuitous exhaust reels are appreciated.

[@EktorTsolodimos]

This video made me look into this car. And I'm getting one next week. Can't wait!

[@saucysimpson259]

[@Quietbut_Deadly]

It's a coupe with 4 doors. So a sedan?

[@TheJacobshapiro]

Quietbut_Deadly It's technically a 4 door hatchback because the trunk hinge is above the rear window, but BMW refuses to sell anything labeled as a hatchback in America (because us Americans for some reason have decided we hate them). It's a shame too, because I'd love to get an M135i hatch.

[@harleyzheng]

The tail lights in the refreshed 3 series is so much nicer to look at

The downside about the coupe design is that you have a higher window line, limiting visibility for the passengers compared to the standard windows on the 3 series.

[@billystutz55]

BMW has one of the best manual transmissions period. SMH.

[@MrJeronimo94]

Apparently, BMW changed their nomenclature in the sense that unpair numbers like the 1 series, 3 series, 5 series etc. are the more classic kind of cars, whereas pair numbers 2 series, 4 series, 6 series, X6 etc. are more emotional "special" cars. Also the 4 series, was called that way as, as the number is superior to 3, it gives the customer some kind of superiority feeling, like the feeling of getting a car of a higher class.

[@ast5515]

So this is the 4 door version of the 2 door version of the 4 door car. Brilliant. Why not skip 2 steps and call this the 3 series?

[@JDGamez15]

well, quieter interiors in cars would be helpful to me since I am hearing impaired and with a mazda, you dont really have that kind of silence from the outdoor environment. I cannot hear and understand my friends or family a lot of the times when in the cars, because I usually hear background noise a whole lot more than voices such as the car engine sound, outdoor environment, wind, AC, etc. Since you say the interior for the 4 series (in the 435i for instance) is quiet or more quiet than other car interiors, and if it's true, I'll be adding it to my list of cars in the future to get.

[@dennispapadopoulos4920]

of course it's better it was created to cover the gap between the 3 series and the 5 series. nice video 👍👍👍
