- Meet the 2019 BMW C400GT - a more comfortable, better looking and more expensive version of the C400X - BMW’s first mid-seize scooter. We took it out for a week in day by day riding condition - city traffic and a short ride outside the city included. Here’s our first impression about the new BMW C4000GT.
The price - $9,300 (8,300 euro) with heated seat and heated grips.

Thanks for another great review! 👍
so i drove the 2022 and traded in on it. it is lacking the storage space but for every other category it wins. the ride is smoother, more balanced and the engine has less vibration. the headlights are fantastic on this bike and surpass many cars in visibility. the heated seat/grips are excellent
BMW C400 line is manufactured for BMW by Kymco of Taiwan which is a very experienced Scooter company. The Kymco "version" of this is an Xciting S 400i, so far as I can determine. And way less expensive than the Beemer.
Is the BMW made in China like you said in video ???
Great looking scoot and top quality from BMW, good review thx 🤙
Glad that you do scooter reviews as well - keep up the good work!
i guess I am kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream new series online ?
@Brycen Andre flixportal xD
@Ahmad Davis Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!
@Brycen Andre no problem xD
Thks for the review,cheers.
Great review!
Excellent review thx
Muy completo el informe... gracias por las imágenes...!!
My silverwing gt 400 2016 still rocks
I'd likely never consider a scooter but I did learn things about this model that I did Not know and might suggest this model to my more scooter oriented clientele. As always, much thanks for all you do!
Always consider a scooter! I ride and race the S1000rr and this is still my everyday go to bike.

great review thanks,
Is it just me who is listening to Borat?
No to Arnold Swarzenegger without steroids.
Good presenting !!
Great video. thanks
Thank You So Much
Man that looks so cozzy 😁
nice video buddy I like this :) from the uk it was just the music no describing how the bike preforms , or I could not understand the language, this is what I was looking for thanks !!!
At least here in the USA, BMW has already put a recall stop sell on them so none of the dealers can sell their inventory of them until the recall is lifted. I’m not sure of the details for the recall.
Wish you had talked about the leg protection, albeit self explanatory I’m sure; I’ve never seen that. I wonder if there’s one for my ‘18 K1600 B-GA
As far as I know, the C400GT has not been announced for the US market yet (and I am eagerly awaiting it), so I assume the recall you refer to is only for the C400X model. That may explain why the dealers inventory is so scarce when you check them online (at least in the DC metro area).
This is a wow scooter great review..
Nice video.
Like BMW c400gt
I like the variety and choice of scooters in Europe. Not so much to choose from here.
Nice review. Have my heart set on the 650 though
Yes mate the 600 would be good this bike is called a 400 but apparently its a 350...
Yep, me too!👍
Like the Alfa Romeo Tonale front lights!
Would like to see that motor in the G310GS (the R can keep the current motor to satisfy the nay sayers) and make it a G350GS
Don't know why thy usually say these scooters are better for short trips,think they are better then motorcycles ect for any length of trip, more then fast enough ,more comfort and weather protection,more economical ,and(mostly )more underseat space.
Power wise I believe. It produces "only" 34 horses with 35 torque. That will definitely be tedious on a journey of 400-500kms especially if you're riding double.
The 2024 XMax 300 is now $10k the Burgman is not available here Honda also don’t bring any big scooters here. The BMW is a 350 with 27 hp better lights and better package at the moment $13K complete
Nice review my friend. Nerver see the voice as much alike as Niko Bellic haha
I am looking at the 400cc class scooter to replace my larger American touring motorcycle or getting a scooter for around town usage. Thank you for your input.
Vespa gts 300
Will it be good for short riders, my hieght is 5.4ft
Where can I buy those goeast stickers? @drivemags
Good report.
I your leather jacket can you tell me the make ?
FYI I bought mine new FULL (heating, alarm, led, connectivity, 5y warranty)for 8800 euro which was only 700 euros more than the xmax 400. That's exactly the price of the connectivity option which the xmax doesn't have. A separate mount plus GPS would be the same price. I test drove both and the BMW drives more relaxed and certainly better protected on the highway. My top speed is 156 km/u btw and I'm over 100kg. Everybody his own taste but it looks damn sexy and as explained it's not more expensive. A sym 300 was 5900 euro with actually NO options so I don't get the hate about the pricing.
@stulys. Did you already go for the 20000km maintenance? I did ...... i paid 1100€ at the official bmw dealer. They replace a rediculous amount of parts when you reach 20000km. In you are interested I can show you the invoice. I spend 1600€ in maintenance during 20000km. So yes it is overpriced, and by the way mine has all the same features as yours. This was my first bmw scooter and it will be my last. Non standard parts that were replaced under warranty: seat, 12v battery, keyless ride key, rear wheel bearing so I am waiting for the next thing to fail.....😞
@@koendestercke how is it a year later?
Agreed, storage space is too small for a GT
Very good!
Also seat height almost the same AS F800GS
I think gt is more for touring use and X for city use
A 400 scooter that does not fit an helmet underneath the seat????
it is a 350cc actualy.
Correct! :) "Officially" it is a 400!
Can fit full helmet...but only when it stop....
Which is an huge limitation if you want to bring a second helmet, not to mention that it reveals to potential burglers that there is something Inside the storage space...
@@mrjohnnyslayer9 ...yes limited space... better yamaha xmax 400 than...if u like bigger space..
Whats the fuel tank capacity.
It's nice... Yes!
I like this cute scooter
Sounds a bit heavy on petrol. My G310R gives me about 3,3l/100km in the city and 3,7 to 4 l/100km when on the highway
50 kg lighter
This model have a kymco engine inside like a bmw c600 or something else ? Thanks
Motor and parts and bike are made at the Loncin factory in China .....BMW going cheap made for more money 💰?????????
Why didn't they call it the C600Gt?
My xmax with arrow exhaust and pollini variator maximum speed 150 kmh and it is 300 ccm🤔
Good review..
Expensive, but I would seriously consider this machine.
You would like the 2023 Yamaha Xmax 300 ...I paid 6299 out the door in Nov 23 ......it's a better bike and is more comfortable and agile and goes 87 GPSd all day ....under seat is TWICE AS BIG AS Beemer....go see yourself
2023 Yamaha Xmax you will like better 6299 out the door 87mph gpsd more storage 75mpg. more comfortable seat etc....
Storage capacity?? Need it for milk delivery.
Thanks
From India.
Lol, it's priced 10 lakhs ex showroom are you sure you really need it? 🤣
Where are you from? Which country?
always always remember running costs on these things. every 20000K be prepared to spend 2000USD. And if you don't, prepare for major REPAIR and not maintenance bills, and a much lower resale when potential buyers want to be sure this overengineered piece of machinery hasnt been given less than perfect care.
Philip Iau totally true. I reached 20000 km. I paid 1100€. total cost of ownership is very high. After this mileage it is worth half the price of a new one. And the quality is very poor😞
De unde se comanda piese de schimb pentru acest scuter ? pe google nu am gasit
THEY have to come from China because every part of bike is CHINESE MADE
Burgman en X Max better value for money at the same if not better quality. Also the new Honda Forza 350. Then for even less money both the Sym and Kymco models in that range are good alternatives
How tall you are?
BMW C400 line is manufactured for BMW by Kymco of Taiwan which is a very experienced Scooter company. The Kymco "version" of this is an Xciting S 400i, so far as I can determine. Xciting S 400i is also WAY less expensive than the C400 GT.
Made in China ....it's outsourced and made cheaper in CHINA
What is the black cloth hanging in the front and flapping in the wind?
It to cover up the GF when she's massaging your important bits.
Stop your legs getting wet. Just wear a rain jacket and you'll be dry.
Very popular in Paris and rainy climates.
toospensive
It's a 350 but they call it a 400, whatac on.
Storage too small but I still want one.
Yes i agree its a bit odd they call it a 400 when in fact its 350 aprillia make a 300
He sounds like Borat doing a bike review. 😂 But good review overall.
mister MC, nu pot sa cred cat de mult vorbesti :)) erai tare tacut in copilarie. :))
Queria no Brasil :(
is this guy related to borat???
The motorcycle box ....how many liter?
30L
@@DriveMagRiders ....wow not to big.... suprised....
@@DriveMagRiders .. yes is small..but still can equipped with 40 something box for larger space..
The flex case system was used also on the small top cases Honda developed 10 years ago. There's nothing new about it, other than the fact that it's placed on an overpriced scooter...
13k in Asia. Over 13k in thailand.
In indonesia its 21k usd
Design, except front fork is great. But thats all, when comparing to forza 300. Consumption 4,4l/100km vs 3,2l/100km, price 8300€ vs 5900€. Forza also have electric windshield and keyless top case, but on the other hand it lacks heated grips and heated seat...
Wanna electric version of these scooter
Super man u dining great
Pm monorack c400gt
Rip man
Not interested because of made in China. I live in China and we pay more to buy imported 5 series even if those locally made are much cheaper.
4,4 L / 100 Km. You must drive Edward full problem I’m only in the city to make it that bad 👀
i have one. And 5.200 Km. Driven I use only 3,1 L / 100 Km.
kymco xciting 400i 2019 model is a better choice imo
id rather have kymco than this bike. considering the price :)
@@Subscriberswithoutanyvid-vv8jw the style of kymco xciting 400i 2019 model is sporty yet the riding position is so comfy
Not me 2023 Yamaha Xmax 300 beats both of them $6299 out the door in USA ....I KNOW
I don't care, if it's a BMW, I want it made in Germany
YOUR MOM'S MADE IN GERMANY
@@caballopalido that’s not what your mom said
Is it made in germany?
CHINA
It's made in india.
It's built by TVS
from thailand BMW C400GT price 399000 baht = 9,680 pound (12,505 USD)
very expensive
Malaysia = RM44,500 = USD11,000 - You should come to Malaysia and buy :) ....
IN VIETNAM C400GT 319M= 15K USD
Thailand 399,000 and insurance per year is 31,000 baht. Nearly 10% of the bike cost.
Yamaha Xmax 300 is better. 180,000 baht with insurance, more storage and have many dealers for service.
In Singapore usd $17000 - sgd 31000
Are you the same guy who makes gun videos?
So they make the engine in China and still manage to be the most expensive in the range...that doesnt make much sense.
Engine made by kymco in taiwan
@@jevyramos Made by Loncin in China.
Thr whole sccoter in made in the Loncin farctory
iPhones made in China also and they are the most expensive as well so it is perfectly sense.
You thought they'd past the savings onto the customer?
The whole scooter is made in China people DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE SAYING DIFFERENT. JUST LOOK ON SERIAL PLATE IT SAYS MADE AT LORCON CHINA FACTORY
13,000 in Asia
you are so luck you get to get this C 400 GT. In USA they do not sell GT on X Horrible :(
I am not so sure, that it is better looking than the C400X
Asiatisch Qualität
I looked a number of owner reviews and the worst thing they could say about this is lack of underseat storage. Maybe just needs the top box and it's a done deal for touring.
Great vid but BMW lost me at made in China.
Hi! I'm fr Northeast India I wait for c400 .
Lol that motorcycle cant fit in ur traffic
@@antihaters6504 India allready dozons of superbikes.
C
Loncin engine. Made in China. I ride one is fun.
Not at that price!
LOOKS LIKE YAMAHA SOUL I 125
Ein Superscuter
It's freaking long though. It's like the size of Burgman 650, but not as good.
especially not as heavy and cumbersome
Xmax 300 weighs only 397 lbs. Way better low center of gravity ride ....twice the storage 75mpg. Going 70 mph ....6299 out the door in USA what more can I say ?????
Are you kidding me
2023 Yamaha Xmax 300 is the best quality most reliable scooter for the PRICE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOURE GETTING
they are nothing special compared to the others, you pay more for the name which is what bmw counts on, there are more after market items for the other brands, it is a cool scooter! 🤠
Presenter sounds like Borat! Wah Wah Wee Wah!
What make this better then a suzuki's 400cc scooter? Price? You pay to mutch for the name.
KYMCO ENGINE AND BMW BODY 😆
Can go highway lol
??? what
@@saigonnhakhoa9771 search for it.
Loncin engine.
The 600 - 650 cc is a Kymco
CHINA MOTOR AND PARTS MADE IN LORCIN PLANT IN CHINA.....SORRY YOU DONT KNOW THIS
4.4L/100km is a lot for a scooter. X-max 300 can hit 2.7.. - in todays clown world fuel prices, this is a major factor to consider
it usually takes in about 3-3,5 litres
I got the 2023 Xmax 300 and for $6299 USA out the door it is far superior 75mpg going 70mph....twice the storage. 87mph gpsd all day. Comfortable made with quality in Indonesia
Sorry Beemer you outpriced your small storage bike !!!!
Far too expensive. Suzuki burgman proper 400cc will be just as good for much less money
"you can use your telephone which is cool and usefull in the traffic"
REALLY ?
music ok ... calling BIG NO
as a YT channel you should raise awareness NOT to use a phone in traffic
be it on a bike or in a car
I have a helmet headset and receive abs make calls without problem - and that's on a manual bike. On an automatic scooter it would be even less if a distraction. I do get your point though, riders need to make these decisions depending on their level of ability and the road and traffic conditions.
@@Certago i totally agree, but you should rephrase then or take more care about what you say, i understand english is not your first langauge (nor it is mine), but as you're having more folllowers, responsability follows ...
keep doing good reviews as you do ... make a transcript before you do it ... ;)
For the money I paid out the door for ONLY $6299 this 2023 Yamaha Xmax 300 is a much better buy !!!! Look at storage 2 full size helmets plus more. 75 mpg going 70 mph ,plenty of room and the most comfortable seat, more nimble than BMW weighs only 397 lb. Made in Indonesia NOT CHINA ....made with more quality parts and thicker .....just look for yourself....I did. Traction control and BOTH front and back ABS ....
On Yamaha you don't have to pay for top case !!!! Yamaha #1
Also goes 90mph
BMW
Bakit may kumot? Hehe..
Phil Aledo it’s a leg cover.
To cover his face ....he's embarrassed he bought it made in China
9000 euro seems too much money
Short answer no it's not worth do not buy it
oricum engleza vorbesti ca iliescu :)) daca te vede doamna toma sparge monitoru la comp :)))
you mean the cost of your life for riding two wheel in accident death just $9.3k ?
