Nice production value mate - great intro!

@Smithy350 6 лет назад

Nice video Bob. That blue looks stunning

@BobFlavinVideo 6 лет назад

It's even nicer in the metal

@ahmedvorajee2430 6 лет назад

I have been driving a demonstrator of this car and I must say that so far it’s really impressive.

@nervo6321 4 года назад

Great review i have the same version in white....best car i have ever owned.....

@max-power 3 года назад

Hi Bob, how would you rate the 2017/2018 420d gran coupe today?

@cabwab 6 лет назад

Thanks Bob, Love the 4 series Gran Coupe. In fairness to BMW Audi jumped massively one the quattro bandwagon after that flurry of snow. "You wont get stuck in the snow if you drive an Audi!" So they had to react.

@BobFlavinVideo 6 лет назад

Audi hammered it home alright. Lexus is at it now with "diesel is dead" so there's always something going on

@tsint 6 лет назад

9:51 the air hose seems to be touching the paint? that is not ok....

@robcousins231 6 лет назад

Bob, as a GC owner, I can tell you in Winter when the temperatures fluctuate and the weather systems change, the tyre monitoring system warns you a lot about the pressure. It’s just the outside atmospheric pressure changes that trigger it.

@BobFlavinVideo 6 лет назад

I did not know that BMW must be sensitive to changes

@polymonk 6 лет назад

I just picked up a 4 GC and my iDrive has a touch screen

@andfikelly 6 лет назад

Would you have this or Audi A5 sport back bob? By the way, touch screen is standard now. Concierge service is optional.

@BobFlavinVideo 6 лет назад

Audi does a better interior and infotainment system. BMW do a better version of apple car play as it's wireless and touchscreen. BMW is more fun to drive...it's very hard to choose. A5 quattro S-Line with a few options or BMW 420d M-Sport with a few options? Grrr I don't know, BMW I think

@ericrochford3134 6 лет назад

Like the camera you placed on the passenger seat, good angle for a review! Those ultra low profile tyres can’t help the ride or is it okay?

@BobFlavinVideo 6 лет назад

It's really handy when there's a glass roof. BMW has the ride sorted so there's no harshness left really. You'd only notice it over speed bumps

@steenglish 5 лет назад

Hi Bob, would you go for the 520d or the 4 series Gran Coupe? Thanks

@unkeptnorthernbloke5265 4 года назад

Ive had both. The 5 series with the 20d isnt quite right

@peterkiernan-mccarthy3013 6 лет назад

Hey Bob, another great review. But it sounds like the cabin is ridiculously noisy ?

@BobFlavinVideo 6 лет назад

Just the mic I'd say, it picks up everything. It's not loud when your in there

@terryd9850 6 лет назад

Jeez Bob a bit more about the car instead of how to pay you would be a better long term return for you.....

@customepainter1 4 года назад

My 67 plate has touch screan

@danwatkins941 2 года назад

Not really a 'review'. What about engine performance? Economy? Boot space? Handling? Rear seat space? Just talked about tech mostly.

@TheJaytotheBee 6 лет назад

Would personally just get a 3 series, instead of this and spend the difference on options

@steveng5503 Год назад

In your next video please can you say “purple burglar alarm” over and over as fast as you can whilst driving really fast into a low sun? 😂✌️👍🇬🇧

@bobsta 5 лет назад

Great review. I had one on hire as a company car. Noisy cabin, dreadful road noise from the tyres and the diesel engine despite generating 180bhp felt sluggish. Additionally, the car doesn't involve the driver - very unusual for a BMW. The 3 series hybrid that I had before the 420d was terrific in terms of a quiet cabin, superb petrol/electric motor combo that would leave the 420d standing and outstanding driver engagement.

@kostasmilisis Год назад

So the same generation 3 series is quieter!!??

@apollian 6 лет назад

so Bob, the 640D or the 420d?

@BobFlavinVideo 6 лет назад

420d at the moment. But really have a look at the competition because there’s some good ones out there

@apollian 6 лет назад

I checked out the Audi A7 and test drove the Merc, but they didn't handle like the 640D Gran Coupe. I was leaning more towards the 640D Gran coupe. I've watched your video about 5 times and you look like you enjoyed driving that more than any other BMW. and I get that feeling too. for me, that feels like £30k's worth of Car, I'm not sure if I can spend £30k on a 4 series.

@hmikey5680 5 лет назад

Nice video, where the real life mpg on this?

@unkeptnorthernbloke5265 4 года назад

Mine does 52mpg all round. I use sport occasionally and dont try to be efficient at all really

@johnmacbikerie 6 лет назад

Ah Bob , the poor wing of the car !!!

@BobFlavinVideo 6 лет назад

Elastic band stuff, hard to keep that cable on the ground

@MegaGecas 6 лет назад

awesome awesome car. Great looking and driving. And nice review. And fuck Xdrive, or any four wheel drive nonsense in any other car. We have much more harsh winters here in LTU, and I have no problems to drive my RWD F20, I do not need that Xdrive, and neither do you in your childish cold weather.

@oliviak9617 4 года назад

It is touch screen. You just don’t know how to use it. I had this same problem with the salesman who showed me mine. He said the same thing that it wasn’t touch screen but it was and he was astonished that a buyer has to show him a feature he didn’t know. I think you should know the car properly before reviewing.

@kirwanjohn101 4 года назад

Not much of a review! Can you review the car next time and stop talking about idrve and apple play? What about the engine, boot space , space for passengers, mpg, noise, road handling etc?

Bob Flavin Douze Points from the Cork jury. It's been good watching your channel develop. The photography has jumped up a few notches since the early days. Merry Christmas.
