2019 BMW 440i Gran Coupe Review | The Best BMW Everyone Forgot About

Рет қаралды 132,950

Күн бұрын

This review features the 2019 BMW 440i gran coupe, a forgotten BMW in my opinion. The BMW 440i might just be my most favorite modern day BMW however, a new 4 series replacement will be coming and I'm sure it will be nearly identical to the new 3 series. The way this 440i drives and handles is how I expect a BMW product to perform. If you are in the market for a new practical luxury sports sedan, the 2019 BMW 440i is an excellent pick amongst its steep competition from Audi and Mercedes.

Here's my 6 month Ownership review on the 440i: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLtmra9yztPKep8.html Thanks again for stopping by, if there are any owners I would love to hear your thoughts. Take care.

I’m with you. On my second 4series. Had a 428xi, now a 2019 440xi with M sport package in snapper rocks blue. Car is a pleasure to drive and it is fast. BMW says 320hp. Has to be closer to 350. BMW also has been giving great incentives on this car with great loyalty packages. My girl loves this car.

@MeynMotorGroup 5 жыл бұрын

Very cool and beautiful car sir. Yea BMW and most other German car companies underrate the performance it certainly hauls. Do you find the car to still comfortable with the M sport pack? Either way it still looks stunning. Enjoy the ride, and like you mentioned the prices on these now make it very obtainable and good value. Thanks again for stopping by and watching. Take care!

Awesome review. I have wanted a 2 series or a 3 series for years now. Everyone loves the 2 series and 3 series and I have read so many great things. After driving them I was honestly underwhelmed. But after driving the 4 series gran coupe it just felt right. Driving it feel so natural like a car should be. This must be the most underrated bmw

@wbwayne8887 5 жыл бұрын

I had this car for a year. I put over 20k miles on it and had no issues. It did go through water once and I had a drivetrain malfunction light, which corrected itself after 4 days of sitting out to dry. I really enjoyed this car but there are just too many pot holes out here, to enjoy it. Weekends in the mountains of Northern PA is a different story though! The ride on the 19' wheels was smooth but harsh over bumps. I remember pulling over a few times, just certain something was broken. Never was, but I couldn't take the stress, especially with no warranty left. I have a 2021 Stinger gt1 now and even with a 10 year warranty, I'm not worried about breaking it. The Stinger is more comfortable to drive and feels roomier, at least in width. And while I will admit that I miss the BMW prestigious feeling, I get asked about the Stinger a lot more. Funny thing is, the first night I was heading home from the BMW dealer, a Stinger pulled up on me and wanted to race. I had no idea what it even was... but I liked it. Ironic, that I would still the 440i and end up with a Stinger. Good review here. I've seen a few from this channel and I'm subscribing now.

Even the lower model 428i Gran Coupe feels super fast, agile and sure-footed with excellent braking. I have test-driven the 428i, (not the newer 430i) of my co-worker. I have also test-driven a M-Sport 440i. Boy, that rush to 3 figure speed still stays in my mind. I think I may head to my local BMW to get one soon.

WOW what a bad ass review this is- I just bought a 2019 430 GC and I do love it- almost like a "cult" car- those who have them love them. I had a 435 GC and sold it for a Coupe (Mercedes SL) and I wanted a 4 door- what better than a 2019 GC?! The new ones and the buck teeth just dont do it for me. This is the proper kidney grill on a Proper Bimmer. Thanks again- love your red interior- looks amazing.

@davyk8193 4 жыл бұрын

Only BMW I'd realistically buy. I'm just not about to spec one out at 70k just to get it the way it needs to be. You basically need an M sport package and performance exhaust to make this thing purr. This variant needs an interior update. Aside from that, I probably would consider spec'ing one out new.

@MeynMotorGroup 4 жыл бұрын

Consider the F30 3 series as well it does actually sit up a bit higher so it’s easier to get in and out of and seems to be slightly more comfortable. But I understand if you prefer the looks of the 4 series and would like the hatch

FYI, the motion to open the trunk with your foot is described in the manual. It's not a side to side motion, it's a forward and backward motion. "Performing the foot movement 1. Stand in the middle behind the vehicle at ap‐ prox. one arm's length away from the rear of the vehicle. 2. Wave a foot under the vehicle in the direction of travel and immediately pull it back. With this movement, the leg must pass through the ranges of both sensors." There's a picture in the manual to illustrate. I think if you perform the proper motion you're much more likely to get it to trigger correctly on the first try. Regards from someone with the bland, dreadful, retirement-community black interior. ;-)
