    Did you just refer to this car as Miss Piggy with the top up? I totally disagree. This car is a beauty with the top up and down. Get a clue man!!

      Exactly! I was just about to check him for this myself until I came across your comment. I had to hit rewind to make sure he made such a dumb comment. He must've been drinking right before he did this video.

    I own this vehicle and it’s still my daily driver in 2020. Couldn’t be happier and affordable maintenance

  • @MrIrrepressible
    @MrIrrepressible 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    still looks good with the top up IMO

    So, tell me again.. Is 4 better than 3?
    I watched, and watched again, but sadly found no such assessment!

    First car test that fails to tell how the damn thing drives..

    is it just me or this review blows. Poor 435....

    • @TFLcar

      Most assuredly....it is just you.

    • @terrencemunyoro6018
      @terrencemunyoro6018 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      +The Fast Lane Car Most assuredly, this review blows.
      Its like you seeing a hard top convertible for the first time, the way you obsess over how fast it opens. There is no detail about the clever engine technology, transmission, body strengthening. That is a gorgeous car top up or down WITH HEAD SPACE IN THE BACK SEAT for adults, Roman. BMW was innovative and excellent to design the top up like that.

    • @Philmoscowitz
      @Philmoscowitz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It blows. This guy's voice almost put me to sleep 60 seconds into it. And he's got bad taste if he thinks it looks like Miss Piggy with the top up. It looks freakin awesome.

      I hear you! No one calls me Miss Piggy in mine!!

  • @choconsingapore7360
    @choconsingapore7360 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    its even more beautiful with the top up....in fact...it looks the Best with the top in transition from top down or down up.....

  • @v1los
    @v1los 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    After reading the title of this review, i was expecting a comparison between the 3 & 4, but there was none! So is 4 better than 3?

  • @jonbob4798
    @jonbob4798 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I currently have a 535 but I really want a convertible and the 6 series is out of my price range so this is perfect for me.

  • @hipposnakeyo
    @hipposnakeyo 10 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    That 'Luxury' badge lol

  • @pgbollwerk
    @pgbollwerk 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I can't help but be confused by this quick review. At no point does he answer the question "Is (the) 4 better than (the) 3?"

  • @FreeRsGuides
    @FreeRsGuides 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Why did BMW put a badge on it saying "luxury", that would be pulled off if it were my car

    • @jonathancharles21
      @jonathancharles21 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Why wouldn't they? They put "M" or the M stripes for the M3,M4, M5 etc and M-sport models. The luxury badging is just another way to differentiate between the models.

  • @nosmosdad
    @nosmosdad 9 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    This "review" is a waste of 6 minutes of your life. Can't believe he drove in circles to prove you could lower the top while the car is moving.

    • @XaxtonRevolution2
      @XaxtonRevolution2 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +SD Sreve Yeah, he's driving it at 1MPH when he activates the mechanism; if he was driving it at 60, and the mechanism could handle it, then I'd be impressed. I do think that hard top convertibles look cool though; they make the car look like it's transforming. I don't know why -hard top convertibles- didn't catch on in 1935.

  • @tuolumne9
    @tuolumne9 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think it looks really good with the top up....YMMV

  • @330Xis
    @330Xis 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good review Roman. I've panned some of your stuff previously, but this time around, you were more composed and insightful. In regards to the car, I'd prefer that chrome side vent accent to be body colored. It looks like a cheesy aftermarket add-on as is.

  • @mhamedosama
    @mhamedosama 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is actually is really nice review! I have always been a great fan of yours and have seen many of your great videos! Keep it going

  • @2xxxxvipers
    @2xxxxvipers 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    By far the worst car reviewers on TH-cam, more concerned with 0-60 times then how the car actually drives. Do us all a favor and stop or actually talk about how the car drives. Watch a few Chris Harris or smoking tire videos to see how it's done.

  • @pontiachotshot

  • @Nomimasubiru420
    @Nomimasubiru420 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'm going to disagree, I think it looks a lot better with the top on. It just looks weird with it down.

  • @icemanroyal
    @icemanroyal 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The car might be a stunner, but that sweater Roman is wearing needs to go back to the early 90's or maybe even the 80's :P

    • @MrKeyboardCommando
      @MrKeyboardCommando 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Roman's sweater needs to go back to the dumpster !!!!!!

    • @MrChevypower
      @MrChevypower 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      MrKeyboardCommando why do you care what he's wearing?

    • @MrKeyboardCommando
      @MrKeyboardCommando 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      MrChevypower You've grabbed hold of the wrong end of the stick. I object to the sweater. Roman wearing it merely brought it to my attention.

    • @tuolumne9
      @tuolumne9 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hm. I think it looks quite nice...

    I think this goes head to head with the Mercedes C-class Coupe, rather than the e350.

  • @rykalskyes8888

    Roman, is there any trunk at all with the top down?

  • @XaxtonRevolution2
    @XaxtonRevolution2 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is there -a risk of the trunk contents coming out of the car or
    jamming the hard top mechanism- while retracting and extending -the hard top, itself?-

  • @marknelson4713
    @marknelson4713 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    "instead of being.. a beautiful swan..... it transforms into a bit of a Ms. Piggy" HAHHAHAHAH.
    You do great reviews tho man, you mention great points, you get the revs, good angles and good commentary on all your reviews.

  • @marc1093280
    @marc1093280 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Every BMW except for the 2-series need to go on a 500 lb weight loss. The 4-series is pretty heavy for a BMW.

  • @RobBoothAutomotive
    @RobBoothAutomotive 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The white doesn't do it any favors however as you can see all of the panel gaps, especially in the roof. A darker color would give it a more streamlined look.

    I wish it wasn't such a weird car. I just saw one today and it honestly looks boring and I'd rather it wasn't the typical BMW we have come to expect.

  • @owenwu7995
    @owenwu7995 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    great, now the new 435i coupe and convertibles make the e92 and e93 335i coupes and convertibles look outdated

  • @GwoodBloodz
    @GwoodBloodz 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Way too overpriced, and the front looks like a stretched Mazda 6

  • @NikoBell12
    @NikoBell12 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The top looks like they took it straight from the 3 series convertible. Other than that, I like the car but it is overpriced.

  • @dieselngoungou1465
    @dieselngoungou1465 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why not pay a little more to get an M3 instead of paying nearly $90,000 Canadian dollar for this model? Its just overpriced. I chose M235i after test driving M235i, 335i and 435i with M package. I saw a 428i in a local BMW dealer listing $72,000, I asked why. The sales guy didn't even know.
