BMW 4 Series Review // The Ultimate 2010's Sports Coupe? 

Do you have a F32 4 Series? How long have you had it, and how many miles have you done? Let us know what you think of it!

I have a F32 430D MSport non-Xdrive, with a stage one modification. It has 320bhp, and 720nm of torque. 0-60, is easily below 5 seconds. I have 20" 275s at the back, giving the car an aggressive stance. I love my 430D, it is stupid fast, and a real drivers car. Mine has some great specifications, and it has some random specifications. The great specifications are the sport automatic gearbox,extended red leather interior, the stiffer non-adaptive MSport suspension (S704). It has Active cruise control, which is rare on this generation of car. The heated steering wheel is nice. There is a button below sport mode for the front peak cameras. They are in the wheel arches, and allow you to see left and right, when pulling out of tight spaces, or at blind junctions. Another neat feature is the rear retracting sun blind. Leave it up at night, and it offers another level of protection for those who drive around with full beams. The only thing my car does not have is the HUD. I did hold out for that option, but I never saw it with these other options together. What I am most impressed with is the Harman Kardon surround sound system in my car. Most people do not realise there are not one, but two different versions of Harman Kardon sound system on the F32 4 series. The lower quality version is the BMW HK Hi-Fi system (S674A), which has 12 speakers, a 360w 8 channel amp, and 2 ohm subwoofers under the seats. The premium version is the BMW Harman Kardon surround sound system (S688A). The car you are driving in, has this, easily identified by the tweeter and midrange speakers on either side in the back of the car. The S688A is a premium sound system, which was a £2k option when new, with 16 speakers, a 600W 10 channel amp, with 2x 8ohm subwoofers under the front seats. The S688A also has fibre--optic wiring to keep the sound true to life, and there is a setting on the iDrive for logic7 surround sound (another indicator for the S688A sound system). My 430D can also play DVDs, and there is a 20gb internal HDD for storing music. I love my 430D, and this generation of BMWs. I am going to drive it until the doors fall off. When the doors do fall off, I am going to upgrade to the only other car I desire, the F82 M4...

I’m getting a 430d soon, can’t wait! 😁

My current car, since 2017. F32 two door, 3 litre diesel. 95,000 miles. In red as well! 😊

Even my Fiesta has a cubby under the light switch! Great review as always.

Comprehensive review and informative, I own the f32 440i and it has an amazing engine plus I've got the m sport trim and mppsk so it sounds awesome, perfect blend of luxury and performance

Yes, the F32 is soooo much better looking than the new model. Never mind the grill but look at the lines, there is no competition.

What a great review

F32 420d 😅 love it sapphire black coupe love it! Beamers are the best drives GOAT

I went from a 2012 Cooper S to the 2018 430i as my daily driver. I still love my Mini but the F32 is definitely way better for daily commutes and long drives.

I got mine 2 moths ago is a 428i 2016, is fast enough to get you in trouble but is not a crazy thing that you feel unsafe. I love it.

i have the the 5 door version, the f36 gran coupe. It's an 430i. I own it since October 2023 and have no regrets

Recently chose an Audi S5 over one of these for a few grand more. The the massively more modern tech, Quattro, sportier noise and quicker acceleration made it an easy choice.

im gettiing mine next week. what is needed is to update to a digital cluster , add a new media player and change headlights to LED so that makes up updated to today's standard

No mention of leg room in these cats. I find the feet wheel well for the drivers left foot a little cramped against the transmission. I have come out of a bigger frod though.

Hi JJ, would you swap it for your Merc? I'm not a massive fan of red cars but my goodness, it suits this one really well.

I have the 435D xDrive M Sport, great car and very quick for a diesel

My choice would be the 4 door version for the boot space but in reality I would just buy a 3 series touring

The interior looks immaculate. About the missing 6 cylinder noise, if one goes down to 3 cylinders there's that burpy throaty noise again.

i copped a 428 v low milage. it's a chick car but a fun ride fsho

Do vyou think this is more or less comfy than a c207 e coupe you have reviewed before?

Im thinking getting an 440i

The 4 series Coupé was released in June 2014.. not 2010...

you just can't be the old fashioned hand brakes.

Would just like to add a 2014 Jaguar XKR. 5L V8 and has 4 seats, kind of...

Picking mine up next week 420d auto 35k miles m sport plus fbmwsh £18k 😊 2018 model

You forget the price of the car

Yeah lovely looking car that. I agree with that thing under your thighs - have it in our XC90 & just don’t get the point!!
