I've been driving my 440i Gran Coupe (with M Performance Power and Sound Kit) for nearly a year now. That car still puts a smile on my face everytime I start and drive it! It would be awesome if they do an M car of this model...
Watched this vid so many times for the last weeks ;) good video. Finally got a 440i xdrive 05/2018 myself yesterday. Was smiling each second on the 400km way home ;)

@@blackkingsize it was ok, the fake exhaust sound that played inside the vehicle was just bad, it was so loud on sport but the outside made no noise. Power was not all that bad it just ran out of steam eventually.

I have this car, same colour but 2016 and black interior. I agree with everything you said. My car's year doesn't offer the digital dash yet, and sometimes I think it's a bad thing when I sell this thing but for personal use I also prefer the analog dash like you. I feel like the only thing my car lacks is heated seats. However, the dealer + car itself gave me so much confidence compared to other ones I went to see, that I decided to ignore that. It's good sounding (yes, with stock exhaust too), comfortable even with the M sport stuff (You feel bumps but not in a harsh way), and sporty, edgy and sharp when you want that.
That's one of my favourite cars (excluding exotics) in my all time favourite color by any manifacturer (Tanzanite Blue). It's so cool you have the exact same one I'd go for! I would probably get it with RWD tho...
Lysergic Casserole lol more like soundaktor, bmw currently dont make any good sounding cars, meanwhile m3 e92 m3 e46 were monsters.....even a 1973 datsun 240z straight 6 sounds way better.....
Blade ManX Yeah BMW really dropped the ball with that fake sound shit Although I'm sure they have turned it way down on the 40i models. They should give the option to turn it off completely
@@blademanx The m3 e92 sounded good, and the e46's intake sound is legendary, but as for noise, this generation with the B58 sounds beautiful. Full and warm/deep with the snorts on upshifts and subtle crackles on let-off. ALOT nicer than the m3/m4 which sounds more like 'just noise' to me.
I know, the advantage with the mperf kit is that it's keeps the waranty, for me personaly if anything happens at least I wouldn't have to worry about that. With the jb4 i know you can take it off as well but it's a bit more work. Remaping it is another story. He seems to say that no one has been able to remap the B58 engine.
I love the hatch, I've owned several Saabs and I could put my mt bike and camping gear in the back. Well now this looks like a cool sedan but has convenience of a wagon. Sweet! Maybe my next car.
Ah yes, someone else who thinks the digital cluster is pretty much useless compared to analog on a performance vehicle! Imagine digital gauges that lags on M cars, that would be a major turn off.
my thoughts exactly, a lot of the BMWs i've tried lately has too much rebound - dampers too soft to match the stiff springs so bouncy ride especially after 20K+ miles/kms when they wear in. So then they try to get you to buy the "adaptive" then it's really too soft or too stiff! A compliant ride properly dampened passive set-up is not only comfortable but grips better too. Marketing...
Jesus, you wanna give your car a few seconds to idle down before you throw it into drive. Thats a fabulous way to burn out your transmission quickly Also, their is a company that offeres a great program to tune a B58 that has 12 different stages, along with custom maps, its MHD tuning And the way you drive this car is criminal, this is a beat ride, and im sure you dont drive your personal cars like this daily, they wouldnt last long
I have a 435 GC and drive it like I stole it almost every day. These engines want you to drive hard and makes for such a fun GT car. It can be comfortable when I want, but also edgy and sporty, especially with coilovers and an exhaust. Definitely not as fun to drive as my track build Honda SI, but man this car MOVES with a Stage 1 tune and a transmission tune. Why buy a fast car if you don't drive it fast?
I can't wait to buy one of these next month. So I'll have an Audi S5 with a BMW 4 series GC in the driveway. I can't sell my Audi because I put too much damn money in it. Also, it's gonna have 600hp soon 😊
Look, I got an Audi A4 from 2001 at the moment (planning to get a new one this year). Past 100km an hour, I just hold the steering wheel quite tight so it won't go crazy. You let go of the steering wheel at 200 + and nothing happens. Dang it!
I own a 440i like this and one thing that stands out for me personally is how solid stable it feels. When I drive on highways it literally feels as if it's on tracks like a train. Dead straight no matter what. :)
@@SchytexGraphics I'm honestly not joking: this car does not reach speeds at which it does that under normal circumstances. I haven't personally driven against the electronic limiter, but did reach speeds over 220 and it just doesn't feel sketchy at any point
@@SchytexGraphics My dad had an M4. It sure attracts more of a crowd, makes louder, but not as good, noise (stock) and it's much better on a track. In the real world tho, this generation m3/m4 + with it's added power struggles with grip. I've done about 5 races now versus 5 different M4's and they were all nearly identical. starting at like 30kmh to 120kmh, there was 0 difference. 2 of those races were on highways, ~100-180kph and the difference there still isn't as big as i thought. obviously the m4 is the car you'd pick but there's good reasons to buy the 40i's. such as gran coupé and the insanely epic ZF8 + B58 combo and just cheaper/more subtle. it doesn't take much money to get equal power on these

I have just come back from Germany on a business trip and had a 440i hire car. It was a very odd spec, it was an SE model with winter tyres!! The handling was terrible.

I have a 2013 530d M Sport and I honestly didn’t enjoy the petrol 440i compared to it. It lacked torque through the Rev range and the HP only kicked in at 5000+ RPM. So most of the time the engine felt underpowered and compared to the 530d I drive, the gearbox wasn’t as smooth, it would snap from chilled to on power without really requesting it which made for a jerky’s drive. In SE spec with the tyres I had, the nose went light around 200kmh although getting the car to 250kmh came quickly when pushed hard. I wouldn’t purchase over a 435d at all.
Nothing beats the torque of a inline 6 Diesel especially with multiple turbos. I wish the USA could get that motor.

Aviation 264 for what reason? He did not break any rules on this drive. The Autobahn in Germany has no Speed Limit in many parts.
Please use the original proper lens to record for this video.
camera view is the worst, why use wide angle shooting car videos? it distorts the true style of the car so whats the point?
which year is the car?
What changes that certain models don’t have the digital dash?
Wait.. It's a Grand Coupe, but not a Coupe?
