If you go to the dealer, they will (they did for me) disable your auto stop/start for free, so you don't have to turn it off every time you get in your car :)
Bought a 32K mile 5 yo 428i X drive coupe in late January for less than $19K. Added new stock all weather Continental sneakers an front brakes for another $.5IK, and after over 15K miles I'm very happy. I skipped the $3K warranty because I paid cash for what I thought was a good car in the first place.
Been hearing nothing but great things for the 4 series, I currently own a e92 coupe and had so many problems with the n54, might pull the trigger and cop a 4 series 🔥
Love this car. Great on fuel. Pretty reliable. Good on power. Awesome styling. Great engine for a 4 banger turbo. Very responsive and turns heads. Looks more expensive and faster than it is. For the faster version go for the 435
You probably sold this car by now, but just an fyi…That jerking transmission motion is “adaptive driving”. You can reset it as much as you want n get back heavy on the acceleration without the horse bucking motion. Each model is different…essentially on old models you just put the key in ignition mode 2…hold down the gas pedal all the way for like a minute, turn off keep foot on turn on n it should be reset. Something like that. Look into the 4 series process for accuracy. On e46 m3’s you coast it in neutral at 30mph n decompress both steering wheel shift paddles for about 30 seconds…it does something like roll the chain over for a fresh teeth bite on the clutch from time to time on smg’s.
Thanks for the video! I'm aiming to buy a BMW 4 series 4-door grand coupe. Thanks for confirming that the back seats are pretty spacious. I prefer the 4 series over the 5 since this is a little more sporty-looking.
Aj Bizzle I actually don’t have the car anymore. This was 2 1/2 years ago lol I got a new job & I have to haul stuff in my car, so I sold it for a 2018 GTI. the car was great though. Had it another year and a half after this & never had any problems.
this was probably the best video i've watched on the 4 series. i'm 19 looking to get one myself & it would be my first. this whole process is just wild.
First of all, finally!!! A video on a 428i. Second of all, even though I have the car already and have had it for nearly a month, thank you!!! I didn’t feel like asking the BMW Dealership when I was there if it was even possible to have the turn off engine feature off, you are amazing lol so glad I came across your video. I have a manual transmission and it’s amazing BUT even on this one I have to get used to it too. The shifting is something to get used to. Great video, would highly recommend people out there trying to get one to go for it!
This exact car I’ve checked it out and it is the car in the video that is just crazy to me it’s an awesome car and I love it so much it has around 63 thousand miles on it but it’s great
I'm actually looking to get the 430i but I happened to see your vid. I appreciate your incites on the car and warranties, etc. since I am new to BMW. Luv those rims!
Dang, I’m gonna try to get this but I still love jeeps but I gotta wait on that and my Kia telluride so i saw this for a decent price. But I’ve never been low to the ground before so that’ll be something to get use.
I could use your help! I am planning to buy 2016 428i it’s got 65k miles on it. What is the best way to know how much it’s worth? How much should I be spending? A range would be nice… great video tho. Please help 😊
Cool video, thanks for sharing. I have the 428 gran coupe it's great car. Only thing I don't like is my girlfriend has nowhere to hang on because they removed the "oh shit, hang on!" handles on the head liner above the windows.
If you search just a little you'll find that the 19 inch wheels are not expensive. Not sure where you live but here in Cali the tire shops here are so competitive and the prices are good.
Awesome vid! I never saw anyone else put the flags on the lower side skirts like I did! i had the m colors flag on mine, I like the german flag touch tho too!
hey J Hall, cheers for your video, that gave me more confidence!!! well actually i already bought it but just waiting to pick it up from the dealer.... :) love from australia
I had one of these before the lease was done it needed 2 clutches and I waited6 months for a standard. Traded up to a 440 never looked back the 4 is just two small for a car of this size no matter how many blowers they hang off it!
Thanks for the video J, I’m considering a 428i with MSport package, the color is a beautiful estoril blue with the ungraded factory 19 inch wheels, can’t wait to test drive it. I’ve never driven a BMW before, so I’m a newbie, I currently own a 2011 MB E class.
J Hall how many miles have you driven your 428i since the video and do you like/dislike other things not mentioned on the video since you’ve driven your car for some time now.
Arturo Caballero well I don’t own the car anymore, because the job I took, it just wasn’t working out for the job. But I drove it about 30,000 more miles and never had an issue with it. I loved that car, a lot.
J Hall good to know you didn’t have any issues with the car, I’m going to go see the car on Friday, hopefully they still have it, I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Ugh don't get coils,unless your dead set on ride height adjustment.Im rocking a 128i on h&r super sport springs.2.2" drop all around and I love it. Also lol about the kidneys.On my 128i they just pull out with zero tools in 2 seconds👍
Tbh the coupe looks so much cheaper looking than the 4 door and the space in the back is way smaller than it looks on camera, I want to get the gran coupe. By the way I love jeeps never trade in always keep until you can get another car! Worth it in the long run ! Don’t sell that coupe it’s beautiful
Funny, I just bought the 2016 435i M sport and I couldn't find any videos before I bought mine. Keyes Motorsports has really good mod videos. Anyway, great job and maybe I will do a review of the 435.
Yunas... well in the United States, where I bought my car, it is called the M Sport Package, not m pack. Go to the bmwusa website and see for yourself.
Trunkz Hertz literally no m sport package 4 series were available in OK at that time. I did test drive a 435i with the m sport package about 6 months ago and the thing was bomb!
J Hall I see... I m trying to get the 435i gran coupe m sport package so that I can have fun and for practicality at the same time... what are your thoughts on that ? Or do you think I should just get the coupe?
Trunkz Hertz the gran coupe is cool. Comes down to personal preference. I don’t have kids or anything, so a coupe is pretty functional for me. I’ve had it a year and a half and no complaints from me, so far.
Royce Saunders word. If there were 435’s around when I bought my 4 series, I def would have gone with the 435. This thing was the only 4 series available in about a 250 mile radius, at the time. It was a good car, though!
Really like this video I had a 2016 3 series and I loved the handling of it ! Lookin to get into a 2 or 4 series soon with possibly a widebody :D! I will be subscribing
Agreed! This was like one of the first videos I ever made and it took me a couple of videos to realize the sound in the program I was using is louder once published.
On the right skirt of the car, you placed a belgian flag sticker, it's not the german one ^^ Same colors, different order :D Or if you prefer you can't place a german sticker in mirror mode or you'll get a belgian flag :D Last thing, german flag is horizontal, not vertical so if i resume, left is a belgian flag, right does not exists ^^ I can hardly imagine americans know wth is Belgium but well, it's a country (and mine) ^^
Hmmm. Odd! Black, red, yellow is the German flag color order. Left to right is black, red, yellow haha so I’m not sure what you mean. I thought Belgium was black, yellow, red?
Thanks for this👍 I recently got a new 430i gran coupe 2018 m sport. (Black, did the kidney grill change, it was very simple actually) apart from that pretty similar experiences to yours. I did drive the gti 2018 but in my opinion the driving pleasure on this thing suits me more. Gti is more sporty but I still prefer this over the gti. What do you think?
Hello....I have the 440i Coupe M-Sport, also in black (full optionals) . Why you did not take it with the M-Sport Package ? It looks especially in the front more aggressive, more nice . Greetings from Germany ! 👍😉
Aris1956 hi! Honestly, there weren’t a ton of 4 series options where I’m from. I only just came across a 435 about 6 months ago! I like the m sport look too. May upgrade the front/back end if the right deal comes along.
Din Phu really?? That’s too bad. I almost feel like cars are like electronics - no matter how good the electronic is; there’s bound to a bad one in the batch, every so often lolol I know this bc I ALWAYS get the bad one haha luckily, no trouble with this car.... no trouble with my e30 either, besides normally 31 year old wear and tear. Sorry to hear that!
J Hall Yeah, maybe it's just bad luck but I got the car when it first came out. I've had the fuel pump fail, brake judder and it has a high speed vibration issue that they can't seem to diagnose. The older cars were more reliable.
without a DOUBT, i would lower it - that is actually the first thing I would do. Running boards are iffy. I'd hate for those things to scrape. I would also probably ad one of those wheelchair lifts, as well - just to make things super convenient.
@@JHall glad I read this, made my decision on getting the minivan much easier, although I beleive im going to keep it on stock height, with how the roads are here im not going to risk scrapping the bumpers
My 2015 428l is leaking oil at 29k miles. Lover pan gasket is leaking oil and oil filter housing gasket is leaking oil too. My warranty expired a month ago, and I got bill at BMW's dealership $2200 This is common issue with 328 and 428 oil gaskets failing after some time. Buy extended warranty or stay away from this car.
Reno 202 wow - that’s crazy and sucks. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I’d never buy a new bmw without a warranty & extended warranty. Always been a fan of extended warranties on my daily drivers. Regardless of make/model.
Yoo i see this video was posted almost 2 years ago now that u had it this long long how do u feel about it have any problems with it?? Im about to buy it but im a little nervous about the “BMW maintenance” everyone talks about
Thanks for the videos I'm a Japanese car guy due to reliability I know BMW'S drive great But I'm thinking of a change now to a convertible BMW 4 series. By the way your hot happy motoring..Aziz x
Japanese cars are dope - 4 series are fun! Don’t see too many around my parts, so it’s nice to actually have a car that isn’t too common. with that said - take a look at the Kia Stinger GT. those things are dope & have been compared to the 4 series grand coupe. Also the panamera. I love them - I may go that way, one day soon???
J Hall thanks for replying I didn't think you would! I've never Owned a German car due to a lots of stories about reliability issues and they are so expensive to put right. I guess if I was to do it it would be the 4 Series convertible You Gotta Do it once in the lifetime I guess it's either that car or RX 450 H Lexus.
Hello I would like to get advice, it is worth of buying grand coupe 4 2014 (sport edition) with 135 000 km 420d xdrive for 17k euros? how it is with reliabilty,service cost and maintenance. Thanks for answer
Hi, I can’t really speak on the actual car cuz I’ve never seen it, driven it, don’t know the history, etc. I will say - I never had any reliability issues with my 4 series. If I could have done it all over, I prob would have gone with the gran coupe over the coupe.
Michael Spence it does! This maybe be blasphemous, but power isn't really my main concern. It gets up and goes though! Especially in sport mode. Tighter suspension with sport mode, too. I drive it on the highway and back roads, mostly. I usually stick to comfort in town.
Sweet. I've done a lot of research too, I am headed up to Kansas City tomorrow for a test drive of a 428i M Sport. I like cars that have get up and go, so that's really great news! Thank you for the video
Michael Spence I haven't had a flat. I have roadside assistance with my car, so I would just get it towed if I did. My last car I did have a flat and had it towed.
When you mention the twitchy shifting, are you talking about how it almost feels like it’s hard shifting? When I drive in sport or sport+ it feels like it shifts really rough, but I don’t have the same issue in comfort mode
Yeah - it was in any mode. I have a throttle rest (I think that’s what it was called) video on here as well that cleared up the issue. You just have to do it every couple thousand miles.
matt cullens you know what, I honestly can’t remember. I don’t have that car anymore. I believe there is one in the center console, if I remember correctly. Sorry.
Sheldon Williams the only $ I put down was from the money I made on my trade in vs what I owed. I got about $7k more than I owed on my Jeep and put that towards the price of the car. My insurance isn't bad. It actually went up this year to like $120/month. "Sports car" thing.
Cliffracer when I owned it :) rarely. I live in Oklahoma and it’s rare when it snows. Even rarer for it to snow and stick on the ground for multiple days.
Vedran Zavisic ohhh I don’t own the car anymore, but I believe they were 225(maybe 235)/45/18. 18x8.5. Same all around. I don’t usually go the staggered route with how much I drive.
Hi..good video! I bout a 428i white bout a year and a half ago but didn't upgrade anything and only put 7k on it in case i wanted to get rid of it..I will never get what I want out of it and not trading it after finding out how much I will get from today. Wanted a white on black Jeep Grand Cherokee but I will just keep the beamer. My problem is I want 19" wheels and I have an X drive and can't figure it out with the tire sizing cause I don't want to mess things up..can u help?
Brian Clark shoot, do what u want for now & take it off and sell it if it’s that big of a problem when u sell. As for xdrive, I don’t have xdrive so I won’t be any help. I’d ask someone who has xdrive and 19’s and ask what their specs are.
Oh tell me about it! It was one of the first videos I ever made 😂 and the software I was using always made it sound ok while editing and then it was like BAM! Full blast when I put it on TH-cam.
Daniel Dorestant lol sure, if ya wanna know. This was a sweatshirt I got that has some tacky Christmas saying on the front. Turned it inside out cause it was comfy af (and nov when I did this lol) and I cut the neck out of it one time bc it had a rip 😂 #historylesson
sgdfghdhdxfgbx when you say “she” are you talking about me? Lol you can ask me. I wouldn’t call a Jeep a car. Just like I wouldn’t call a truck a car. They’re all vehicles, but not all “cars”. Just my take on it ; -)
haha you don't even know what I paid for this car : -) I can promise you, if I would have gone with a 440, I would have spent about $8k-$10k more and I would have increased my monthly payment by $100 or so a month. By trading my wrangler in, I decreased my monthly payment by $100, so I didn't want to completely negate that. I'd rather spend $$ on mods and such.
why is this funny to you lol. that is the actual name. i think its funny when people call it sunrof because its not. a sun roof is a solid panel no glass. a moon roof is glass. see?
Haha. So when I bought this, this was the only used 4 series I could find within about a 6 hour drive, any which way. If I did it again, I wouldn’t go for an M model, but id prob get the m sport package on a 435 or something.
HariKumar no worries. There weren’t any m sport within like 500 miles when I bought it. Had to go about 2hrs away to even get a 4 series. This car is long gone tho :)
Alex Alejandre I have a 2018 VW GTI SE. the 4 series was a great car. No mechanical issues at all. It just wasn’t working with my new job; it being a coupe.
If you go to the dealer, they will (they did for me) disable your auto stop/start for free, so you don't have to turn it off every time you get in your car :)
Oddly enough - it stays off when I turn it off. I never have to turn it off each time I start/stop the car. Did you?? That's crazy!
if you change driving modes without the "last memory" update the op is mentioning, it will toggle off and on by itself which is quite annoying
Bought a 32K mile 5 yo 428i X drive coupe in late January for less than $19K. Added new stock all weather Continental sneakers an front brakes for another $.5IK, and after over 15K miles I'm very happy. I skipped the $3K warranty because I paid cash for what I thought was a good car in the first place.
Tom Richardson I’m in the process of purchasing one same year as yours and around the same miles I should have it in 2 weeks!
Been hearing nothing but great things for the 4 series, I currently own a e92 coupe and had so many problems with the n54, might pull the trigger and cop a 4 series 🔥
Still have the car now? Any reliability issues?
Love this car. Great on fuel. Pretty reliable. Good on power. Awesome styling. Great engine for a 4 banger turbo. Very responsive and turns heads. Looks more expensive and faster than it is. For the faster version go for the 435
kevin then couldn’t have said it better myself
@@JHall I have the same car 😁
kevin then I have a different car now, but loved this car. Never had an issue.
@@JHall what do you have now?
@@kevinthen6887 2018 VW GTI SE
You can actually get one of these for like 15k now which is nuts for the amount of car you get!
I’ve had my m 428 I for about 10 days now. Black on black and just a fine automobile. Worth every penny!
Black Ocean great car!
Black Ocean how is the car doing?
Cliffracer it’s brilliant thx for asking!
Black Ocean great, thx for your response. Have you ever used it on snow? I’m getting mine next week
Cliffracer I have not..I live in the tropics of America (Florida) I just uploaded!
You probably sold this car by now, but just an fyi…That jerking transmission motion is “adaptive driving”.

its harder to work on because its way better put together. just got a 428 gran coupe and i love it!!
Awesome! My 428i Gran Coupé gets delivered tomorrow!
Thanks for the video! I'm aiming to buy a BMW 4 series 4-door grand coupe. Thanks for confirming that the back seats are pretty spacious. I prefer the 4 series over the 5 since this is a little more sporty-looking.
I have had several BMW cars they are excellent and you feel you are part of the car
Stephen Jones give me one pls
Aj Bizzle I actually don’t have the car anymore. This was 2 1/2 years ago lol I got a new job & I have to haul stuff in my car, so I sold it for a 2018 GTI. the car was great though. Had it another year and a half after this & never had any problems.
this was probably the best video i've watched on the 4 series. i'm 19 looking to get one myself & it would be my first. this whole process is just wild.
The auto stop/start isn’t to save gas it’s to help with carbon buildup
First of all, finally!!! A video on a 428i. Second of all, even though I have the car already and have had it for nearly a month, thank you!!! I didn’t feel like asking the BMW Dealership when I was there if it was even possible to have the turn off engine feature off, you are amazing lol so glad I came across your video.

i was also considering a BRZ but then came across a sweet deal on a 4. although the 4 is more expensive i am so happy i went with the bimmer!
Just bought my 2016 428i so excited to see another GIRL car lover as well
❤️❤️
This exact car I’ve checked it out and it is the car in the video that is just crazy to me it’s an awesome car and I love it so much it has around 63 thousand miles on it but it’s great
I'm actually looking to get the 430i but I happened to see your vid. I appreciate your incites on the car and warranties, etc. since I am new to BMW. Luv those rims!
I think you should keep the steeringwheel, looks great as it is. I know the ///M one, but this looks good also in my opinion.
I was gonna get the X6. But a guy on TH-cam said it gonna cost at least 10k for maintenance... 🤦🏾♂️ I might give this car a try🤷🏿♂️
Nice car! Had a Wrangler, now a 430i, awesome car. As you said, worlds different in customization of Wrangler vs BMW. I really like the 4 series.
Great vid! Love seeing female auto enthusiasts in the YT scene , especially BMW drivers haha
Very nice, I just bought a 2016 awesome car .
Really enjoyed this review!!!! Nice one!!!! Getting this car today
I just bought one the other day. Was only in it twice. Don’t get it til next week. Wondered about a cpl things that you explained 👍🏼
Dang, I’m gonna try to get this but I still love jeeps but I gotta wait on that and my Kia telluride so i saw this for a decent price. But I’ve never been low to the ground before so that’ll be something to get use.
Appreciate the vid 7 years later 😂 I'm sure ya got rid of it by now...how many miles did u drive it? Reliable?
I could use your help! I am planning to buy 2016 428i it’s got 65k miles on it. What is the best way to know how much it’s worth? How much should I be spending? A range would be nice… great video tho. Please help 😊
Cool video, thanks for sharing. I have the 428 gran coupe it's great car.
Only thing I don't like is my girlfriend has nowhere to hang on because they removed the "oh shit, hang on!" handles on the head liner above the windows.
The gran couples are awesome!
5:10 - that is the start-stop system. It is very commonly in Europe. Neither am I a fan of this, but here the gasoline is more expensive :))
I was also debating between a Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ and now im here lol
If you search just a little you'll find that the 19 inch wheels are not expensive. Not sure where you live but here in Cali the tire shops here are so competitive and the prices are good.
Marcus Johnson I searched a LOT. in hindsight, I wish I would have gone with 19’s. On my current car, I didn’t hold back & went with 19’s 👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome vid! I never saw anyone else put the flags on the lower side skirts like I did! i had the m colors flag on mine, I like the german flag touch tho too!
hey J Hall, cheers for your video, that gave me more confidence!!! well actually i already bought it but just waiting to pick it up from the dealer.... :) love from australia
wow i’m watching this exactly on thanksgivings day this year lol
Crazy!!
I had one of these before the lease was done it needed 2 clutches and I waited6 months for a standard. Traded up to a 440 never looked back the 4 is just two small for a car of this size no matter how many blowers they hang off it!
Bennett Lewis 440? Nice!! This 428 was the only used 4 from a dealer I could find in the whole state, when I had it.
Thanks, I'm about to go with one and your video really helped
thank you. i am in a market for a used 428i.But i have not set my mind yet. i am also considering audi tt s line and MB CLA250.
aidi hamid have you found your perfect car?
I drove both the cla and the 4 series the 4 series is faster and better feeling the Merc felt lacking and the throttle response was wack
Thanks for the video J, I’m considering a 428i with MSport package, the color is a beautiful estoril blue with the ungraded factory 19 inch wheels, can’t wait to test drive it. I’ve never driven a BMW before, so I’m a newbie, I currently own a 2011 MB E class.

You should!
Yunas... well in the United States, where I bought my car, it is called the M Sport Package, not m pack. Go to the bmwusa website and see for yourself.
Why didn’t you get a M sport package 😭😭😭

Jumps right in to what she does and does not love about this car at 2:32

Turn the music off it's awful
Thanks Chris
Really like this video I had a 2016 3 series and I loved the handling of it ! Lookin to get into a 2 or 4 series soon with possibly a widebody :D! I will be subscribing
Great video but the background music is soo loud! It gets annoying after a while
Agreed! This was like one of the first videos I ever made and it took me a couple of videos to realize the sound in the program I was using is louder once published.
On the right skirt of the car, you placed a belgian flag sticker, it's not the german one ^^ Same colors, different order :D
Or if you prefer you can't place a german sticker in mirror mode or you'll get a belgian flag :D
Last thing, german flag is horizontal, not vertical so if i resume, left is a belgian flag, right does not exists ^^
I can hardly imagine americans know wth is Belgium but well, it's a country (and mine) ^^
Hmmm. Odd! Black, red, yellow is the German flag color order. Left to right is black, red, yellow haha so I’m not sure what you mean. I thought Belgium was black, yellow, red?
Background music. Turn the vol down a little. Its distracting from what your saying
Steel Nerves word. This was one of the first videos I had ever made so I struggled with that lol lots better now. Check out my newer videos! 👍🏻
you’re

Really great video and it's very helpful - music is just a tad loud though :/
tomtomgodevil2 I most certainly agree Lol it was one of first videos. Was just learning the ropes here 😂😂😂😂
I 've got the 428i MSport. Not sure about the german engineering, I've had way too many problems with it.
Din Phu really?? That’s too bad. I almost feel like cars are like electronics - no matter how good the electronic is; there’s bound to a bad one in the batch, every so often lolol I know this bc I ALWAYS get the bad one haha luckily, no trouble with this car.... no trouble with my e30 either, besides normally 31 year old wear and tear. Sorry to hear that!
J Hall Yeah, maybe it's just bad luck but I got the car when it first came out. I've had the fuel pump fail, brake judder and it has a high speed vibration issue that they can't seem to diagnose. The older cars were more reliable.
Wow! That is bad luck. Word, I totally agree with older cars being more reliable.
Is this xdrive? It will probably drive better in sport mode.
If your car is xdrive and you get a flat -- you have replace all four tires.
B it's not xdrive
Huh why do you?
How does this car compare with the Dodge Caravan Mini Van? Asking for a friend.
you know, it's super similar. I would actually probably recommend the mini van over the f32. Cheaper.
Would you suggest adding running boards and lowering the van ? Or would that hurt the resale value of the mini van later?
without a DOUBT, i would lower it - that is actually the first thing I would do. Running boards are iffy. I'd hate for those things to scrape. I would also probably ad one of those wheelchair lifts, as well - just to make things super convenient.
@@JHall glad I read this, made my decision on getting the minivan much easier, although I beleive im going to keep it on stock height, with how the roads are here im not going to risk scrapping the bumpers
Thinking of buying a 2015 BMW 4 Series · 428i xDrive Coupe 2D it’s got 104,467 miles should I do it ?
I never had any issues with mine. But that's kind of a broad question. Depends on the price, service history, etc..
@@JHall price 16,500
My 2015 428l is leaking oil at 29k miles. Lover pan gasket is leaking oil and oil filter housing gasket is leaking oil too. My warranty expired a month ago, and I got bill at BMW's dealership $2200
This is common issue with 328 and 428 oil gaskets failing after some time. Buy extended warranty or stay away from this car.
Reno 202 wow - that’s crazy and sucks. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I’d never buy a new bmw without a warranty & extended warranty. Always been a fan of extended warranties on my daily drivers. Regardless of make/model.
Oil leaks from all those previous mentioned locations have been a legendary issue for literally every fucking bmw mainly the 3 series.
Yoo i see this video was posted almost 2 years ago now that u had it this long long how do u feel about it have any problems with it?? Im about to buy it but im a little nervous about the “BMW maintenance” everyone talks about
Me too.
Thanks for the videos I'm a Japanese car guy due to reliability I know BMW'S drive great But I'm thinking of a change now to a convertible BMW 4 series. By the way your hot happy motoring..Aziz x
Japanese cars are dope - 4 series are fun! Don’t see too many around my parts, so it’s nice to actually have a car that isn’t too common. with that said - take a look at the Kia Stinger GT. those things are dope & have been compared to the 4 series grand coupe. Also the panamera. I love them - I may go that way, one day soon???
J Hall thanks for replying I didn't think you would! I've never Owned a German car due to a lots of stories about reliability issues and they are so expensive to put right. I guess if I was to do it it would be the 4 Series convertible You Gotta Do it once in the lifetime I guess it's either that car or RX 450 H Lexus.
This review was dope!
I did notice you didn't replace your front side reflectors with black paint-matched ones....to finish your blackout. Any reason why?
And thanks for the Video btw, not a lot out there for us fellow 428i lovers.
Kelly Spillers hey! I'd had the car about a month & a half, at this point (if I remember right) They're taken care of now 👍🏻👍🏻
Hello
I would like to get advice, it is worth of buying grand coupe 4 2014 (sport edition) with 135 000 km 420d xdrive for 17k euros? how it is with reliabilty,service cost and maintenance. Thanks for answer
Hi, I can’t really speak on the actual car cuz I’ve never seen it, driven it, don’t know the history, etc.
I will say - I never had any reliability issues with my 4 series. If I could have done it all over, I prob would have gone with the gran coupe over the coupe.
Super helpful, thanks! Does it have enough power for your taste? Do you like to drive it aggressively at times?
Michael Spence it does! This maybe be blasphemous, but power isn't really my main concern. It gets up and goes though! Especially in sport mode. Tighter suspension with sport mode, too. I drive it on the highway and back roads, mostly. I usually stick to comfort in town.
Sweet. I've done a lot of research too, I am headed up to Kansas City tomorrow for a test drive of a 428i M Sport. I like cars that have get up and go, so that's really great news! Thank you for the video
Michael Spence oh the msport will definitely do that! Good luck!
Have you ever had a flat? Just wondering since it doesn’t have a spare. And if you have had a flat, did you just have it towed?
Michael Spence I haven't had a flat. I have roadside assistance with my car, so I would just get it towed if I did. My last car I did have a flat and had it towed.
Idk which one I should buy. 435 oder 428. I wanna put some stuff in it btw
Sliff depends. Google the comparisons.
428, better fuel economy
You still have it in 2019? Still like it?
Steve N hey! Nope, don’t have it anymore. Loved it, but it wasn’t working with my job (the coupe)
@@JHall Gotcha Thanks for getting back.
@@JHall Were there any major issues? i have one right now
Facts facts nope, oddly enough. My first bmw, a 2007 3 series had tons of issues. This thing, not a one.
@@JHall *fist pump* Yes! you have an email address i show you mine. She's a candyeye ❤🚘 All red with custom wheels
When you mention the twitchy shifting, are you talking about how it almost feels like it’s hard shifting? When I drive in sport or sport+ it feels like it shifts really rough, but I don’t have the same issue in comfort mode
Yeah - it was in any mode. I have a throttle rest (I think that’s what it was called) video on here as well that cleared up the issue. You just have to do it every couple thousand miles.
would this be a good daily driver ( i have no kids don’t really grocery shop or anything ) should i still just daily the 3 series?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. I daily drove it until I got a job that needed more cargo space
Awesome show
The music was a constant distraction. Why do this?
Does it have Heads Up Display??? Meaning does it project your speed on your windshield?
Johnny Martin no it doesn’t. This was an earlier year of the 4 series, so not sure if they started doing them in later models.
is there is cigarette style electric charger for a older cell phone or no? Thanks!
matt cullens you know what, I honestly can’t remember. I don’t have that car anymore. I believe there is one in the center console, if I remember correctly. Sorry.
Looking good
How much was your down payment and was your insurance high?
Sheldon Williams the only $ I put down was from the money I made on my trade in vs what I owed. I got about $7k more than I owed on my Jeep and put that towards the price of the car. My insurance isn't bad. It actually went up this year to like $120/month. "Sports car" thing.
Nice, try and get a suction cup, it effects your videos immensely!
Otherwise this video was great! subbed!
Shumile Swift thanks for the tip! I use a Joby right now & love it- cause you can literally put it anywhere! :)
What do you do for a living to be able to afford a car like this at such a young age?
lol I'm almost 31.
J Hall you have good genes, you'll be forever young
haha fingers crossed!
Can someone tell me where the E brake is located 😅
?
Did you ever drive it in winter with snow?
Cliffracer when I owned it :) rarely. I live in Oklahoma and it’s rare when it snows. Even rarer for it to snow and stick on the ground for multiple days.
J Hall oh well, lucky you. I’m going to get this car the next week, waiting for it to be ready. I’m so excited.
Cliffracer it was an EXCELLENT car! Never had one issue with it in the almost year and a half I had it.
what are the tires sizes front and back?
and how wide are the rims
Vedran Zavisic ohhh I don’t own the car anymore, but I believe they were 225(maybe 235)/45/18. 18x8.5. Same all around. I don’t usually go the staggered route with how much I drive.
now a gal gonna tell what car to buy😂
Lol right? #ImJustAGirl
Hi..good video! I bout a 428i white bout a year and a half ago but didn't upgrade anything and only put 7k on it in case i wanted to get rid of it..I will never get what I want out of it and not trading it after finding out how much I will get from today. Wanted a white on black Jeep Grand Cherokee but I will just keep the beamer. My problem is I want 19" wheels and I have an X drive and can't figure it out with the tire sizing cause I don't want to mess things up..can u help?
Brian Clark shoot, do what u want for now & take it off and sell it if it’s that big of a problem when u sell.
As for xdrive, I don’t have xdrive so I won’t be any help. I’d ask someone who has xdrive and 19’s and ask what their specs are.
How much was the warranty?
Was wrapped into my total cost - so I couldn’t tell ya. I’m sorry
music killed this video star. FFS!
Oh tell me about it! It was one of the first videos I ever made 😂 and the software I was using always made it sound ok while editing and then it was like BAM! Full blast when I put it on TH-cam.
I get the idea that if you do this video now, you'd sound a little different about the terminology and functions 😂
you didn't tell us really what you disliked and what you liked :(
can you explain your sweater?
Daniel Dorestant lol sure, if ya wanna know. This was a sweatshirt I got that has some tacky Christmas saying on the front. Turned it inside out cause it was comfy af (and nov when I did this lol) and I cut the neck out of it one time bc it had a rip 😂 #historylesson
Does she think 4x4's aren't cars?
sgdfghdhdxfgbx when you say “she” are you talking about me? Lol you can ask me. I wouldn’t call a Jeep a car. Just like I wouldn’t call a truck a car. They’re all vehicles, but not all “cars”. Just my take on it ; -)
music is too loud!
Agreed! This was the first “video” I’d ever made and luckily have learned since then haha
still love it ?
Cristian Canas I do!
I have this your car now
Hey do you have the link for the f
The f?
@@JHall sorry i meant front splitter, it looked like there was one
Ah for sure. Here ya go: diffusersandmore.com/products/bmw-f32-front-splitter-oem-non-sport-bumper
hows the maintenance issues inm on the fence bmw or camero
Ed Butler no idea what you’re asking. Sorry.
is the maintenance expensive on the bmw
do you have a lot of problems with the bmw
I had a warranty on the vehicle. So any maintenance was covered by that.
so you suggest not to buy one with no warranty
Does anyone know if the brake rotors are the same with the 328i?
Dee Tro no idea.... I’d say google it
You spent the money for a relatively expensive price tag. Your should of bought the 440 model instead!
haha you don't even know what I paid for this car : -) I can promise you, if I would have gone with a 440, I would have spent about $8k-$10k more and I would have increased my monthly payment by $100 or so a month. By trading my wrangler in, I decreased my monthly payment by $100, so I didn't want to completely negate that. I'd rather spend $$ on mods and such.
I stand corrected!
E. Simons lol!
4 cyl turbo's are boring and mundane. The inline 6 is bmw heritage and definitely worth the money. No modded 428 can compare. Plus no m sport?
@@nicholastangredi6994 my car is a 3 cyl. 🤪🤪
Moon roof 🤣 love u
Tamas Leb that’s what they call it 🤣🤣🤣
why is this funny to you lol. that is the actual name. i think its funny when people call it sunrof because its not. a sun roof is a solid panel no glass. a moon roof is glass. see?
So whats the name of that thing you slide under the glass? A moon blocker?
Sunblocker under the moonroof🤣 i had enough
Nice car
wow she practically sits on the steering wheel she might as well drive with her head through the windshield lmaoo
Neil542 lol who are you writing this comment to? She is me...... lol...... yeah, I like the wheel low. I’m 5’4” and little, so it’s comfortable. :)
For a start I see you never got the M sport model, so massive L for you 😂
Haha. So when I bought this, this was the only used 4 series I could find within about a 6 hour drive, any which way. If I did it again, I wouldn’t go for an M model,
but id prob get the m sport package on a 435 or something.
Where's the m sport? U got the boring one not being mean
HariKumar no worries. There weren’t any m sport within like 500 miles when I bought it. Had to go about 2hrs away to even get a 4 series. This car is long gone tho :)
@@JHall oh ok very understandable then :)
@@JHall what do you have now? How did the car do long term ? Any mechanical problems
Alex Alejandre I have a 2018 VW GTI SE.
the 4 series was a great car. No mechanical issues at all. It just wasn’t working with my new job; it being a coupe.
@@JHall Nice, I got the Gran Coupe a little bigger. Stay Cool J
