Loving the longer, lower and wider stance of this car. It gives the car much more of a 'sport" presence just looking at it (and when I sat in one at my local car show). From an Everyman perspective (no need for all the extra bells and whistles) this is by far my favorite BMW.
Did it wrong. Sport+, Traction control off shifter to the left then step on the break preload and go. You are way of 0-60 and you are on an X-DRIVE...!
Bought my 428i yesterday with a $4000 discount for $38k! It is a completely different car way above my previous C250 Coupe in all ways, specially suspension, comfort and performance. BMW 428i also offers HID lamps and driving modes in the basic trim standard!
I too did hear that and made a double take. I went to the BMW USA website and checked the specs. It clearly states; Unleaded PREMIUM. Guess that fact escaped the script.
justin u You guys just have shitty petrol. In Europe, you only use premium fuel for sports cars, because the octane rating of fuel is higher here anyway.
***** Fair point, i was wrong there. And yes, you guys really are extremely lucky to be paying so little for fuel. That said, we have advantages here too!
@@vitalykutuzov3331 dude, do some research. North american and Europe use different methods to rate Octane. 98 in europe is practically the same as 91 or 94 in North America.
That's how people actually drive - no one is putting things into sport+ mode and reving the engine like an a-hole just to get in front of someone at a redlight with a lane merge coming up, they just press the pedal and go. With that said the times seem off, but the car also only had 28 miles, might need to have been broken in a bit more.
Dave love your videos.... but on your 0-60 you forgot to use the launch control which pegs rpm at 3000 and will result in 1 second faster time. Just think you should mention that to the viewer who are interested in such facts. Take Care and keep the reviews coming!
i like your video a lot man, subbed! just a heads up though, even though you did your 0-60 runs in sport mode, you need to flick the new 8-speed transmission handle to the MS side before it will engage faster sport shift times. flicking it up and down in MS mode will then enable full paddles operation, but if even if you leave it in purely MS mode alone it will shift faster than normal D mode.
Seems like it wasn't launched correctly. Does it have launch control? If not, it probably would be faster if you first step on brake with left foot, then rev engine to maybe 4000, then release brake. Also, isn't the 6 speed manual going to be slower than the 8 automatic? Usually would be with modern 8A.
The car is on sport mode, did you also put the auto transmission to sport as well? Simply by put the transmission knob to the left and do not up/down shift. It will make the transmission ratio closer.
Funny.. The first thing I thought was.. wow, what a great car and review (since I love the driving dynamics of BMW) and what a nice jacket on Dave.. He looks great in white. Then I scroll down and read these horribly rude comments about it. I tell you... some people really need to grow up. But, it's typical of a culture filled with cowards who are big talkers behind a keyboard.. but wouldn't dare say it face to face.
Anthony Lopez exactly..decent review I would say the same bro... people have nothing better to do than gripe moan and complain about every little thing
It definitely needs larger wheels than the 18"s on your tester, which get lost in the wheel wells. I do like the new dash set up on the 4 Series. Nice review.
I'm quite familiar with 19" and 20" wheels with runflat tires. I have had BMWs with both. I don't understand your point. I was simply commenting on the appearance of the smaller alloy wheels on the white test car and that I prefer the look of the larger, optional 19s or 20s. Why the attack? Were you inebriated?
Shouldn't rev a cold engine above 3000rpm - says the manual of my e46. I don't imagine a newer higher-output would be much different. Also BMWs like most European cars will run better on Premium fuel: higher output, lower consumption.
Got a few facts wrong - the car doesn't regular gas, needs 89 min. Also the base wheels are 17", not 18". I had a 2014 428i on a lease, it had the M-sport suspension, and the car handled amazingly. The balance he talks about is legit - although, in fairness, I also test drove a Cadillac ATS with the 2.0 turbo with whatever their sport package is and the Caddy might have handled just a tad better, but it was really close. The thing that sold me on the BMW was the infotainment center, back in 2014 the Cadillac CUE infotainment center was complete garbage, it was just too slow and unresponsive, which is why I went with the BMW, the UI was so much faster/better and easier to use. Also the car had heads up display, which was awesome to have. However I'd have Apple Carplay since then, so the old 2014 is sort of chunky and slow - that would be the only reason I'd hesitate on buying one of these again. They are really fun cars to drive and still look great - and like all luxury cars they depreciate quickly, so you can find some nice ones for under $20k, even with the current used car market that has pushed prices on a lot of stuff up quite a bit.
Amazing review, im 6’5 so seeing the car perfectly positioned next to someone who Is 5”11 gives me a bit more understanding of big the car is etc. amazing job
I was drooling over the 2015 428xi convertible. Can you please tell me the difference between the 2 vs 4 series convertible and what does the xi mean??? Thank you. I could google it but I wanted to ask here.
Ask the Beach Boys how to pronounce "coupe". They wrote an album and song, Little Deuce Coupe, not Little Deuce Coo-Pay. Other than that, it was a decent review and nicely shot. Could've done without the speed tests though.
This is so weird, how we earlier somehow managed to open the trunk even when we had bags in both hands. I am not sure but I think we used to put one of the bags on the ground, reach for the handle on the trunk lid, press that and voila, the lid opened up.
Not all 4 series come standard with 18 inch rims. With the 428 you need to get one of the lines (luxury, sport, m) to get to 18 and 19 inch rims. The test car is a no-line car so it has the 17-inch wheels...
It only has 240hp; I don't think a manual is going to make THAT much difference 0-60. Sure, you can build boost to get it off the line quicker, but I doubt it will break into the 5's.
The driver need to step on the accelerator while pressing the brake , build up the engine rev then release the brake, then it will get better than 6.44 sec for sure
I just can't seem to get excited for this car. Even though it's been out for a while, I'd spend my money on the Audi A5 which I still think looks fantastic
Lmao I hated when BMW killed the 3-series coupe and in 2018 I bought a 2015 428i xDrive coupé, best purchase I've ever made. And the rear seats are much, much, more usable and practical than as depicted. My 6'1 D1 athlete best friend changed her entire outfit on a drive from hell to Newark airport in Nov. 2018 with ease and without me ever seeing anything exposing so to speak, so needless to say the back seats are in fact usable. All in all, my have the turn tables
Ditch the white jacket Dave and the gloves, your an amazing in shape athlete but the gloves and the Jacket are a bit much LOL, from your neighbors to the north :-)
very good review, it helps me, I have 09 335, need something more reliable . I'm deeply trying to convince my self to go 4cylinder :( . because the price is so cheap. but it still hurt me when you started the engine, and immediately started revving high. also :( feels like your squeezing a puppy.
You didn’t do it in sport plus mode so what was the point in doing a 0-60 you didn’t brake boost or nothing I’m starting to think people just want to talk a good game not know what to actually do with the car when I buy mines ima have to make a video

The car looks about as attractive as the journalists jacket! Remove the Buick side fish gill and can you please stop changing the front end every 12 weeks. BMW is awesome in my book, but this design is a little off the mark.
Agreed, Dave is cool but that jacket doesn't fit his style at all, it was probably a gift! And white ain't his color. Red and blue are his colors. Enjoyed the review as always.

Not only that, but if you saw, it only had 28 miles on it, so it wasnt even broken in yet
Those rims are really cramping that car's style.
Put some chrome 20s on that

Bruno Andrade do you have any reason why you didn't get the c class coupe instead
Please let me know
It's better in every way you are correct but you do feel every single bump in the road which sucks the car flys when you go over a speed bump
Very happy this is my first BMW just love it
You should have had the chassis in sport+ mode and transmission in sport mode to get better 0-60 times.
regular gas? no bmw i've heard of takes regular
I too did hear that and made a double take. I went to the BMW USA website and checked the specs. It clearly states; Unleaded PREMIUM. Guess that fact escaped the script.

I went straight to my owners manual.. premium
@@vitalykutuzov3331 dude, do some research. North american and Europe use different methods to rate Octane. 98 in europe is practically the same as 91 or 94 in North America.
man that's not how you do a 0-60...you need to turn traction control off or at least put it in sport+...you would've shaved half a second IMO
That's how people actually drive - no one is putting things into sport+ mode and reving the engine like an a-hole just to get in front of someone at a redlight with a lane merge coming up, they just press the pedal and go. With that said the times seem off, but the car also only had 28 miles, might need to have been broken in a bit more.
finally someone showes the head room in the back properly!!!!!
who buys a bmw coupe and is concerned with rear head room
i have a 2007 and only had a hand full of people sit in the back
in 7 years
24 door.. u sure its a ca? XD
The luggage is not from an Italian artist. It's from a Brazilian artist called Romero Britto.

I'm sorry, but I disagree with the Regular fuel type...Premium Unleaded always recommended, if not required with these cars...
depends on how BMW tuned the engine... just saying use premium without understanding how the engineers factory tuned the car is not correct.
i like your video a lot man, subbed! just a heads up though, even though you did your 0-60 runs in sport mode, you need to flick the new 8-speed transmission handle to the MS side before it will engage faster sport shift times. flicking it up and down in MS mode will then enable full paddles operation, but if even if you leave it in purely MS mode alone it will shift faster than normal D mode.

You get slightly higher 0-60 times because I guess you are using all weather tires and also xDrive is a bit heavier.
the car has only 28miles on the odometer and you already rev it nearyl to the limiter....not to mention that the engine was cold
that does damage to the engine, amd the engine sounds better warmed up.
@ekim andersom An engine frees up with several thousand miles on it so will be faster! And revving a cold engine will cause damage!

How has it been?!

Ask the Beach Boys how to pronounce "coupe". They wrote an album and song, Little Deuce Coupe, not Little Deuce Coo-Pay. Other than that, it was a decent review and nicely shot. Could've done without the speed tests though.
Coopay? Is that the Pompous version of a coupe?
This is so weird, how we earlier somehow managed to open the trunk even when we had bags in both hands. I am not sure but I think we used to put one of the bags on the ground, reach for the handle on the trunk lid, press that and voila, the lid opened up.

You didn't launch it properly. Are you testing the car in altitude or at sea level? Also, X-Drive adds weight.
Can't believe you matched your jacket to the car… :)
Curious why BMW decided to go with halogen rear turn signals...isn't the latest 3-series all LED?
Volkswagen has the feature to open the trunk waving the foot available since 2010. i think it would be interesting to see it more widely available.
Thanks for the review, is there adaptive cruise control for this year make?
Great Review Man ;)
You should gives some revs @2800RMP too had a good start like you create your own manual Launch control.
I love bmw and I love this car but they have to change the interior and the paddle shilfers need to be bigger and seperate from the steering wheel
Great and informative video 👍
It only has 240hp; I don't think a manual is going to make THAT much difference 0-60. Sure, you can build boost to get it off the line quicker, but I doubt it will break into the 5's.
he's launching it in correct. Also BMW doesn't really give actually HP rate, this car probably is somewhere in the 260ish HP range
i like way the bonnet automatically open. great!
Excellent review.
What's the difference if you have xdrive or not?
Josh Grove xdrive = all wheel drive
was thinking about getting into this vehicle but it does differ from my 328i speed. that is interesting
6:40 Sports + should be sport + with turning off the traction control?
Did you turn off the traction control for the 0 - 60 tests?
Spiffy jacket, is that a Members Only? Car isn't my cup of tea, but a good review nonetheless. I like how you keep switching up the content.
Revving the cold engine?! :((
the car seems very stable...riding that slow, any car would seem stable !!!
The driver need to step on the accelerator while pressing the brake , build up the engine rev then release the brake, then it will get better than 6.44 sec for sure
Air temperature, engine temperature, altitude all affect the results of the zero to sixty test.
I drive a BMW like this and M sport it doesn't take regular gas it takes premium
Ford Escape and C-Max also has the foot-wand feature as well.
what size is the wheel you have it looks like it is 17" wheels.
I just can't seem to get excited for this car. Even though it's been out for a while, I'd spend my money on the Audi A5 which I still think looks fantastic

How about using launch control with the automatic ???
The manual will be slower you have paddle shiffters plus automatic younever used the paddles ???
the seatbelt system is necessarily a safety feature, its just because the doors are too big
Ditch the white jacket Dave and the gloves, your an amazing in shape athlete but the gloves and the Jacket are a bit much LOL, from your neighbors to the north :-)
Someone tell me what engine I should get to make it go faster

but it still hurt me when you started the engine, and immediately started revving high. also :(

Ever heard of launch control. Your car has it
I have heard of it, thanks. (This was shot and produced years ago). I was terrible back then.
Nice jacket
Did he just say Regular unleaded? when this car takes 91 premium 89 if you really have too...
Take off the traction control when performing acceleration runs.
OK
Its slower because he is using regular gas. If he gave it 93 and used the paddles it would hit 5.6
is there 428i without xDrive?!?
THX!
this tan interior is possibly the worst interior option for this car lol
manual is apprently slower on the 0-60
I think your facts on the designer of the luggage are wrong. Britto is Brazilian Neo-pop artist, not Italian.
+Deem M I think you're right - Dave, Everyman Driver
regular ? wow , but the 6 C will need the premium recommended right?!
Awesome Car... Awesome Review.
What's the point in repeating standing starts.How about some decent driving and feedback?

I can afford this if Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachusetts doesn't rob me $897.95 per month.
I can finally afford it
I can just about afford it too no. So bought one 😂

Those rims belong in toyota corollla not BMW
I don’t understand why you didn’t drive it in manual mode...
Take Sport+ results change!!
if a cat goes through this trunk sensor will it open hah
no idiot, the key must be in 1 meter of the key. keyless and go!!!

I used to put regular in my BMW. Then the VANOS got stuck. Don't do it.
U didn’t launch it u just stepped on the gas after the count
Why didn't he use the paddle shifter??
You obviously don't know how to launch a BMW.... Kind of killed the 0-60 test, anyways amazing car
The DCT is quicker than the manual transmission

@@everymandriver Good review though, really enjoy your channel.
test drive the BMW 6 Series gran coupe also ?
Wait did you just say it’s ok to put regular unleaded in a bimmer? I would never 🤭
I don't know, I was wearing a stupid white jacket at the time.
The artist name is Romero Britto and he is brazilian, not italian! At least google it before saying stuff like this...
Have to put it in sport plus
It looks a lot better with a european license plate on the front! :)
Regular???? in a BMW????
