i bought an m440 convertible a month ago and agree with every damn part of this review! and love the new design - ESPECIALLY the imagined grill- so sexy- A GREAT CONCISE REVIEW!
Nice! I was really impressed with this car. I didn't know what I was going to think coming into filming it. But it's a overall solid car to buy and offer a fantastic convertible experience!
I'm not really a convertible guy but I was quite surprised at how good the exhaust note sounds in this one. I can tell the job will get done if you need to merge onto the highway.
This has the same power plant as the Supra. So it’s a very peppy car! And I really like how sport mode sharpens the whole car and it has those capabilities but can then go back into comfort mode and be a great top down cruiser. I’m not into convertibles either. But this is a great option for sure!
I could see the hardtop being the better option at least for the car enthusiast who wants to retain the shape of the car with the "coupe"...but the soft top is lighter!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed They've had this in 4 series convertibles since 2014. I had a 435i with them in, and now have an M4 with them too. Mercedes has been doing this for well over a decade!
Great review. The rear seat room on this is actually more than a 8 series convertible and it also has cupholders. The 8 has none. My point is this can be fun car for someone with a family.
Seconded. We test drove both the 4 and 8 convertibles. 4 is MUCH more comfy and spacious in the back seat. In truth, the 4 just felt like an all-around better car. 8 is more speedy but far more uncomfortable.
I got my m440i 3 months ago It was only one in Los Angeles when I got it. And Unfortunately the car has alot of electrical issues . I'm having problem with my stereo. And 2 3 times when I was driving the car went of for no reason not happy with it at all. The only good thing is that the car is much faster than u think
Oh dang! That's crazy to hear, at least the stereo should be an easier fix then some other major electrical issues that could of happened. Hopefully that gets fixed soon so you can enjoy it!
That car needs shadowline package, again they need to make Nappa leather optional on the 3/4 series. Have Vernasca in my X3, its durable but not that luxurious.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed That or just make it a $1k option like they do on 5 series. Eventually you might be to get it through Individual program but will be $5k. And the car will take much longer to get. But nappa makes a big difference. Vernasca is a tad better than Dakota. Agreed, it’s a great all around car.
@@night5091 Yeah really. I remember looking at one car at they said there were at least 3 seat covering options. You’d think they’d offer everything across the line
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Yeah def would be nice but they don’t. At least for the 3/4. M3/4 aside. X3/4 M has premium leather as well. A $65k car should have ability to get nicer leather.
I could see the hard top being a better look! I love the tops that don't look like they come down, makes it more of a coupe, but still has that function!
On some BMW websites they marketed a CD player. Huge huge huge DISAPPOINTMENT. Could it be considered false advertisement??? Does a buyer have any recourse???
I thought removing the hard top was going to shave some weight but it’s actually heavier. BMW is going backwards, smaller gas tank, no dual piston rear brakes, more expensive. I’ll stick with the previous gen.
Yeah this is heavy! Doesnt feel heavy while driving tho. Felt very nice! I did notice on the retractible hard tops, they squeak a lot over time! That was annoying. So this soft top will probably be much quieter
Depends on which one you like to be honest! I personally would get the coupe because it's more sporty and I don't have a need for a convertible. A sunroof on a coupe is cool, but I just don't like convertibles for a personal car. The coupe is usually lighter as well and better for handling, taking back roads or on the track too. But if you never do driving like that and just want to cruise, convertible is good for that!

Ugh..it’s ugly with those Honda accord or Hyundai rear taillights and they got rid of the hardtop.. rip 4 series. I’ll keep my 435 vert instead. Time to move up to 6/8 series tbh. What a shame BMW.
So this is not the xDrive model, so it is RWD, the xDrive is AWD. And depending on the wheel/tires and also location, top speed can be 130. Most USA cars are limited to that, while the European models top out at 155, and this is a USA spec..Glad I could help straighten that out for you :)
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Yah sure extra strengthening cuz they lopped a whole roof off but I was sincerely hoping that doing away with the absurd hard top complexity of E9x/F3x would keep weight below 4,000!
@@jlam6449 I drove a few hard top previous generation M3’s and those things rattled so much. So I’m sure they went to a soft top because of that. But it’s a big car to take the roof away. But it doesn’t feel like a heavy car on the road tho
So, now that I’ve seen a few in person, I freakin love it! Man, that grill grows on you! It’s as if BMW is challenging you to love or hate it, whilst screaming its presence, right in your face! Definitely want one of theses! (Wheels on this one still suck, however.)

I Love Portimo Blue
This was a beautiful spec! Really enjoyed filming it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Oh Yeah I Love It
@@rakhsiprayogo82 glad I could film this spec!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thank You
No problem!
Where do I find the battery?
The sound in the stereo doesn’t sound. I will try to disconnect the battery and see if it works. Any ideas? Thanks.
Battery is probably under the trunk liner. Might have to take it to the dealer if you're having a problem
That car needs shadowline package, again they need to make Nappa leather optional on the 3/4 series. Have Vernasca in my X3, its durable but not that luxurious.
Yeah I hear yah on that. Would be a nice touch to maybe have some 'luxury package' and have the softer leather. Great car overall tho!

Yeah you'd think a luxury brand would do that. But I guess most buyers don't care as much. Love that smooth leather!
Europe also gets the M440d (uses a biturbo inline six diesel) with 340 horsepower.
0-100 takes 4.6 seconds.
Oh that’s cool! We don’t get many of the Diesel engines
The M340d xDrive and M440d xDrive are the fastest diesel vehicles on the market.
Oh nice!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Actually, the M440d is only available with the couple. It’s not available for the convertible.
Nice vid! Do you think golf clubs will fit in the trunk with the top down? Thanks!
That might be tight. But I'd assume one set could fit. Might have to bring them to the dealer and see!
It’s a really nice car man.
It was! I really was impressed with how the new 4 series convertible drove! Great balance!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes sir that is correct.
Keep it up 👍🏻.
@@thatlexusguy7629 Will do man!
Nice but nah..the previous gen hard top convertible looked way more aggressive honestly. And looked nicer..Especially with the 666M wheels
I could see the hard top being a better look! I love the tops that don't look like they come down, makes it more of a coupe, but still has that function!
On some BMW websites they marketed a CD player. Huge huge huge DISAPPOINTMENT. Could it be considered false advertisement??? Does a buyer have any recourse???
Not sure why that would be listed, this bmw didn’t have a cd player so must be a mistype.
Good bmw
It's a nice BMW for sure!
Ventilated rotors?
Yeah the disc brakes are ventilated.
I thought removing the hard top was going to shave some weight but it’s actually heavier. BMW is going backwards, smaller gas tank, no dual piston rear brakes, more expensive. I’ll stick with the previous gen.
Yeah this is heavy! Doesnt feel heavy while driving tho. Felt very nice! I did notice on the retractible hard tops, they squeak a lot over time! That was annoying. So this soft top will probably be much quieter
Would you recommend 4 series coupe or the convertible?

A sunroof on a coupe is cool, but I just don't like convertibles for a personal car. The coupe is usually lighter as well and better for handling, taking back roads or on the track too. But if you never do driving like that and just want to cruise, convertible is good for that!
Why did they do a rag top?
Not too sure. I remember on the old M3's with the hard tops, they would squeak and rattle. So many this is quieter and less prone to making noise
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ah, I see. I still prefer the hard top look especially with the chrome, looks more luxurious 😊
I agree! The hardtops are the way to go to still give you that coupe look! But buyers of this car just want to cruise with the top down lol!
Does it come with hardtop???
Not the newer models no! The 21's are just a soft top now! But the older 440's have a hardtop!
What mileage of car
Gas mileage? I say that in the first few minutes
Este auto es perfecto menos el interior el tablero y el timón más que nada les falta calle en esa parte pero el resto es bello
Really nice car to drive! BMW hasn't done much with their interiors and they could use some updates.

In person it looks much nicer than pics. The hard tops creek a lot tho. So I think this will be a quieter roof over time
AWD is $10K more, which is required to drive ear round in North East.
Awd is only $2K more, where did you get that from?
Check bmw website..
This guy doesn't know the car. The 440 is an AWD and its top speed is not limited to 130 mph. It's at 155 mph
So this is not the xDrive model, so it is RWD, the xDrive is AWD. And depending on the wheel/tires and also location, top speed can be 130. Most USA cars are limited to that, while the European models top out at 155, and this is a USA spec..Glad I could help straighten that out for you :)
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thanks for teaching me. You could be the best car tutor coz your explanation was lit
@@myc7779 No problem, I usually write all that in the description, but maybe didn’t add that on this one. Thanks for checking out the review!
In U.S. NO 4 wheel drive yet in the convertible. I own this car red interior on white exterior. It helps to know facts before you post.
0-60 5s,,,,,,it's way slower than it rivals
About a half second slower then the S5 Convertible. But with tuning, the B58 can pack another 100 HP and 150 torque. So it can be much faster
not impressed on the front end design
What specifically don't you like about the new BMW front end? I think it looks way better on the M cars like the M3/4!

Sayangnya soft top, karena di Indonesia rawan pencurian.
Thanks for checking out the BMW M440i! It's a neat convertible to check out!
It is almost 100% theft proof because all metal is present where the soft top appears.
Doesn't matter the sound or the drive, it's still front end ugly
To each their own, I know it's been very controversial for the new BMW look, but I do think it looks better on the M cars!
Soft top? 😧 garbage 🗑 the previous was better
The hard top squeaked a lot tho over time! I sold a tone of the previous gen cars and they all squeaked. This was very quiet
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ok bro my opinion all soft tops on cars should be banned ❌⚠️❌
