Jakob mentioned it but you see it on so many cars because tons of eBay sellers do aftermarket tails that look like them for every model.. most of which an m440i would smoke
it all started when i was playing NFS on my phone and so i unlocked this car ( 2019 Corvette Z06) and i really liked it. next thing yk, im looking it up on TH-cam and there we go! came across yall's review on it. liked you guys' energy, SUBSCRIBED! and i've been a fan since ever since.
Have the seat belt extender on our S5 Cab, great feature. Also, no dipstick, you can check the level in the menu easily. There is a cap where the dipstick would be(and can be if you go aftermarket) and this is where you do the oil change from the top using an oil extractor. Quick and easy.
As an i4 driver - the forum I am on, one person has already replaced his rear lightgs with these CSL laster lightseven before this LCI was revealed. I agree, the grill is better. I like the new M grill for the i4 (not sure if you guys saw that), but many of us are thinking to replaced our original grill with that one. So I am strogly considering that myself for my M50. Not a fan of the new headlights. Glad I have the angel eyes-type lights Hmm, yeah maybe the grill only for M rather than the non-M as you said, would be a good thing. I like the M wheel before this refresh / flat bottom.
Give me angel eyes! Not whatever these fang lights are. Grill still looks horrible too. I usually complain about the screen, but I'm willing to accept that if they fix headlights and grill in future gens. The rest looks and performs great
An oil dip stick making it's way back into BMWs would be so nice. I hate waiting for the electronic measurement at operating temps. If you ever have an issue, you basically have to do an oil change to know how much is in there without risking damage when measuring oil level. Makes no sense.
I thought other manufactures had switched over to this system since everyone copies BMW. You're supposed to manually check your oil level whenever you refuel if you have a manual dip stick, but no one does and so people are probably driving around with low oil and don't know it. With this system it will alert you even if you don't run one of those oil level checks.
This review brings me back to the first ever video I've seen from you guys: the 2018 BMW M440i, six years ago!!! We've come a long way. (also, would take the 2018 M440i any day over this one)
I still have my 2018 440i with the performance tune, performance exhaust and adaptive suspension. Still a great car. I’ll be keeping it for a while for sure.
I owned a 2020 M340 xdrive and loved that car. Then bought a 2023 Audi S4 and loved that until someone hit me and totaled it. Now I own a 2024 Audi S5 sportback. I did cross shop the M440 gran coupe but I couldn’t find the color combo that I liked. That B58 engine is terrific…now with more oomph!
Haha, it’s interesting that you guys noticed that the 3 Series drives differently than the 4 Series. You’re absolutely right. It’s been this way since the launch of the 4 Series. It’s supposed to be a GT car so it’s dampened a bit softer, while the 3 Series is a bit bouncier.
If it’s the new 3rd generation B58(I think it would be) the it now has factory port injection. So it uses both direct and port injection like the Audi 5 cylinder RS engine.
My new M4 LCI doesn’t have seat belt givers!! It’s honestly a problem lol, they’re so far behind! I get a Charlie horse in my ribs sometimes when I reach back….or maybe that’s just what happens at 37…
BMW generally does a good job even the pre-face models of late looks good if I would compare the new C-class to current 3 series I think the pre-face 3 series still look better then the latest C-class, however now BMW is going to have a second facelift ready for the 3series and I get a pretty good feeling that the BMW 3 Series is out selling the C-class.
The lack of a mild hybrid is kind of a bummer on the 2-series. The engine is constantly turning itself off when you're driving in town, and in stop and go traffic, the engine feels like it's going to kill itself stopping and restarting every few minutes. Not to mention dumb stuff like turning off at stop signs when the vehicle still has forward momentum. It's not the thing that will make the 240i a bad choice, but it's a constant reminder of how much better it could be.
@@koopaGG While true, it's not always at the top of mind, and that first stop sign on the way out of the neighborhood is a jarring experience. Also, you don't get the fuel economy benefits of auto-start/stop if you turn it off. Otherwise, I'm totally happy with my M240i.
Cross shopped new M4 Comp XDrive/M3C Xdrive, new M2, new RS3, RS7, Golf R, S3 ect...ect... my budget was broad at 50k-115k US. If you want to go budget route and plan to modify for serious power and can deal with a "small" car absolutely check out the M240I XDrive. Those cars can be put in the 10s (car and mods) for about what you would spend on new RS3.
**PSA: you CANNOT check your oil level electronically. I mean you can, but I was filling oil and needed 7.2L (or 7.1 idr) of oil for my engine/xDrive config, the RWD version only needed 6.5L. So I initially filled up to 6.5L until I realized my mistake via the forums, BUT THE ELECTRONIC DIPSTICK READ FULL!!! Over half a liter short and it was reading full!! You CANNOT use the electronic read out as a gauge, it’s simply too inaccurate and this is a common issue on the forums.
Honestly this car is my perfect in between daily. I wanted a two door, M2 was too small (love it though) I wanted a nicer interior than the M2 offered, I couldn’t afford an M4 at 24 + crazy insurance rates. I picked my 25 M440i xDrive up two weeks ago and still very happy with my fake m4! Next step is obviously a real M4 🤣
This is basically where I’m at, but can afford the M4. Hell, I could buy several of them in cash. I test drove an M4C xDrive today but… I don’t know man… I just don’t *want* to spend that money on it. I mean fuck, after 4 years of interest and taxes, it’s over $100k. I just didn’t feel like I wanted the car as much as $100k. Maybe if I was a multimillionaire? I don’t know. The way I described it to my wife who couldn’t join me on the test drive was that it was the best car that I could afford, but didn’t want. I prefer the classier interior of the M440i. I prefer that I can get Mocha leather. I prefer that I can get wood grain. The M2 would be great if I could get those things, and true Individual paint choices, but I can’t. So here I am, watching this video for the 8th time. In a lot of ways, I just prefer the M440i over the M4 and M2. BMW have yet to make the “perfect” car for me, I guess.
I’m awaiting August delivery of an Individual Rosso Corsa M440i xDrive, black with red Vernasca leather like in your test car. Ventilated seats are not an option with that leather selection.
The csl will be the most depreciating BMW as it’s been devalued now down to 440i. If I owned one I would sell it while the going is good. Already down 30k from msrp.
@thestraightpipes the voice command works only if you have a bmw profile created. Something stupid that bmw moved to, but that’s why your voice commands are not successful
8:40 the brake feels normal on the lci? i had 2024 m440, traded in for something else 2 months ago, that random sticky brake really bothered me so much. edit: they also brought back the ASS button?? this is so much better than pre lci

Ever since the unappreciated Chris Bangle left BMW in 2009, BMW has tried to emulate his forward thinking designs. Proud that he was born an American, Bangle was fluent in German and Italian, and was responsible for designing one of the most beautiful coupes ever produced. The Fiat "Coupe" was totally cool, and we were robbed it was never imported to NA. This M440i could easily have been designed by Bangle. His most controversial design was the top-of-the-line 7 Series which had (imo) a truly cool "duck's ass" trunk. Completely aerodynamic, many high up in the auto business hated it. However, Bangle had pull with Stefan Quandt, and the rest of the Quandt family so he got much of what he designed into production. This M440i reminds enthusiasts of the adventurous thinking of Bangle; especially the front grill. A four seat Nissan "Z." Only better. The Straight Pipes duo are, arguably, the best auto reviewers in the You Tube universe. Live long and prosper.
Great, now I can afford the old generation!
exactly what im going to do when I graduate next year since I will be debt free lol
What generation
@@mikemayers8672 2021-2024, they are going for around 35-42k right now
Previous generation is better, look they remove the leather airbag cover on the steering. Charging more while take stuff off.
@@toasti2699lol no the 23 or 24 versions are not. They are still mid to upper 50s if not more.
I'd hate to be a CSL owner after seeing the same tail lights on a M440i.
Good thing you’re neither. 😁
@@waykool698someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
Jakob mentioned it but you see it on so many cars because tons of eBay sellers do aftermarket tails that look like them for every model.. most of which an m440i would smoke
I did not exprct BMW to bring those tail light down to 440. must needed to lower manufacturing cost by producing more than 7. /s
Most people who buy a CSL are grown ups. They have more important things going on in life
I’m at a point where I don’t care about the grill. I’m just glad it’s not an SUV.

Is the thumbnail in low resolution to anyone else?
Yes. I actually thought it was intentional

great review!
Any plans on reviewing 430i too? Please.
HAPPY FRIDAY
hi guys, any chance you can tell me the size (inches) of the wheels and what model they are ? please
The m440i had a huge glow up( especially the front end)
I like the new snake eye leds on this years bmw's, they look great in traffic
Actually prefer these headlights and taillights. Front end overall is more appealing to me than the pre-refresh.

Can't wait for the CLE review. I think it's the better looking vehicle out of the two

The front grill is much better than the pre face lift
Hate the license plate mount on this one. It’s covering the grill and airflow. Why can’t they make it so it doesn’t ruin the front.
