The BMW 4 Series is a coupe without too many compromises. And it needs to be as it faces stiff competition from the stylish new Mercedes C-Class Coupe and the all-new Audi A5. But how does it stack up? Mat Watson puts the BMW 4 Series through the full carwow testing procedure. Join him as he evaluates the car's performance and handling, scrutinises the interior quality, evaluates the iDrive infotainment system and sees how practical the car is. The model tested in the video is the 420d X-Drive. However, the review is for the range as a whole and includes useful information on how the BMW 4 Series fares in terms of economy, running costs, reliability, safety, equipment levels and which model is the best buy.

Another great review Mat. They haven't sold the 428i for over three months in the UK, it's now badged as a 430i. After having a 430i on loan recently I have to disagree with you and say it's the most pointless car of the 4 series range. Go 420d for cheap and cheerful, 430d is pick of the bunch, 440i if you have the money and actually want sports car... 🖒

I've had a 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 series. The 1-4s are all exactly the same quality interior, style, road noise, handling etc. They all feel like exactly the same car in a slightly different shell. But the 5 series..... It's leagues above the rest. A huge step up in all areas IMO. 1-4 feel very normal but you can feel the quality and luxuriousness of the 5.

@timstaples9230 4 года назад

Wouldn't agree with Matt's choice re engine. If you can afford to, stay away from the 4 cylinder cars. It makes a huge difference to the way the car feels and drives. Had a 430d coupe for nearly 3 years now (since new) and it has been faultless. Fuel economy is good, standard kit excellent and it drives beautifully.

@Ross6041 8 лет назад

4:47 he pops the bonnet and claims a 420d sounds like a van. Nonsense. There is a lot of noise insulation in a 420d. When you are driving it in the cabin, you don't notice its a diesel in most driving situations. When you are driving a diesel, you don't have to pop the bonnet and listen to the engine note.

@carwow 8 лет назад

+Ross B2 good point. But that bonnet popping was just for a visual to help illustrate the point and make it fit in with the format for that part of the video.

@Awayze 8 лет назад

M4 is the only model worth getting otherwise why wouldnt you just get a 520d. However BMW diesels do sound bad, I have a 525i and I probably wouldnt ever consider a BMW diesel despite them having great fuel efficiency, a 2011 520d real day usage averages 46mpg so I reckon in average driving the 420d would get over 50mpg.

@bodrulm1 8 лет назад

They sound a lot better than Mercs! And if you get the 6 cyclinder BMW diesel, it actually sounds like a jet fighter accelerating! Sounds pretty good for a diesel

Overall this video provides accurate general info. But one thing is, the seat does automatically move back and forth by just pressing the forward-back button once, it will move and back to its memorized position. If you press and hold the button like what the guy did in the video, it will continuously move until you let go the button to your desired position. (It says in the manual as well).

@Gantade 8 лет назад

I just bought a 2016 4 series a month ago. I also test drove the new benz c-class coupe. But in the end, I bought the 4 series. This car won me over because: 1. Handling is much better than the c-class coupe. 2. Backseats are much roomier. I tried sitting at the back of c-class coupe and I felt uncomfortable and my head touched the roof. On the other hand, I had no such problems with the 4 series. 3. The trunk is bigger and I have no problems putting few luggage in it. (Fantastic) 4. iDrive is much easier to learn But I must say that the new benz c-class coupe has much nicer interior. They are like a class ahead of the 4 series. :)

@truxton1000 4 года назад

@@stretch90 I agree with your view on the Mercedes interior, many loves it but I don’t. My wife had one and I never liked it, neither did she. The big screen, the nasty cheap plastic, no thank you.

@bodrulm1 8 лет назад

I actually prefer the 4 door version Gran Coupe and own the 430d M Sport variant. it's the pick for economy with amazing performance: 0-60 5.4s and easily get 40mpg+ with normal (and some spirited) driving with a 6 cylinder engine! that's madness. the tailgate is better on the GC, it's a hatch with full access to boot space and it's powered open/close - very cool and convenient. access to rear seats is better obviously too. looks as good aesthetically. 30d, 40d, 40i M Sport all come with standard autobox, pro media and amazingly full electric seats with profile memory function! I love the low slung seat position. amazing car - 3 months ownership and continues to bring me and my wife smiles. alternatives I looked at were A5 and Jaguar XE, but overall package on the 4 was best followed closely by XE
