Is this BMW 430i a GOOD used luxury sport coupe to BUY? 

I drove a 430i a few years ago in California while on vacation. It was my first time in a BMW and I had an absolute blast. Yes, it’s no “M car” but this inline 4 cylinder turbo is a fantastic “base” engine. The car perfectly encapsulates what I like to call “normal people fast.” Meaning that 0-60 in 5.5 seconds (I’ve even seen it quoted at 5.3 seconds from Car and Driver) will feel extremely quick for the vast majority of drivers who have only ever driven cars/SUV’s that do 0-60 in 7,8 or even 9(!) seconds. Those who’ve never experienced a proper, rear drive, 2 door coupe with enough power to embarrass some muscle cars from 10-15 years ago, will get behind the wheel of this car and have a blast, just like I did. As for the upkeep costs and general reliability,, I’ll defer to those who’ve actually owned BMW’s, but the driving part I feel I can “vouch” for ;)

Got this in an xdrive….I love it…they say the m car rides more rigid

I love the stance and styling of the 430i. Makes me wish I would have went with it instead of my 2017 330i. Like you said, it has a nice little pep in its step.

I'm now the proud owner of this sweet ride got a great deal I couldn't pass up. Thanks for the great video.

Thanks Raiti... I have been subscribed a while now. And at this time I see this video I am soon to end my lease with the same 2018 430i with MPackage. I have 24k miles and it drives amazing and no issues whatsoever in 3 years. Best of the 4 BMWs I've had. I think I just may buy it!

Great review! I had a 2018 430i Gran Coupe and I loved that car. Just did a lease return into another BMW.

Man this 430i looks beautiful. Those kidney grilles are just perfect with the body proportion. I'm a big fan of blacked-out grille and other parts coz it looks amazingly aggressive on this 430i

Thanks for showing us the back seat 👍 We know it's cramped but we gotta know how useable it is 👌

Great review of the 430i and I enjoy the unorthodox volume analogies. My brother bought a used 330i and I bought a used 435i from this dealership and we both had good experiences (shout out to Robert and Alan). As far as the 4 series is concerned, I'm really happy with it. The car feels like its multiple cars in 1 because of the different drive modes. Recently I've begun experimenting with the eco-plus mode while gas prices were over to $5/gallon.

Love the video concept! Would like to see more reviews on CPO cars you’d recommend!

Thanks for the video guys I picked up a 2018 430I convertible hardtop last November that came off a 2 year lease with 15,000 on it . A veritable cream puff . I have put less than 10,000 on her since purchased on this pre owned certified BMW. Am totally in love with this ride. Since having the heads up display and the top down option, this car is a Diamond *

Looks like a fun ride!

love your reviews man 💪🏻 watch your videos everyday brother

I would like to see more CPO car reviews. Do a CPO Lexus RC 350.

This is honestly exactly what I’ve been waiting for Joe! I’ve been back and forth on the 4 series but it was great to have an in-depth look at it. I’m in south Florida, but I may have to trek up there to check this one out. Thanks again!

You’re a legend💯👑

Papa doug have some serious competition! Keep it up 😉👍

I appreciate the in-depth review of the exterior. I bought a car similar to this. No M-Performance package though - I'm a little jealous of the aluminum pedals. I rate this video 5/5 german twinkies! I find it funny how you mention that "it makes sense that it's not a touch screen because it's just out of reach", since my late 2019 build has a touchscreen!

Great video, as always! Recently bought a 2017 430i M-Sport Pkg with low miles and wow! That I-4 cyl turbo sure does have some kick! Thanks for motivating me to get this car I love it! Recently had a 2015 Q50 S. BMW is the ultimate driving machine!

Im strongly considering a 440i Grand Coupe. Never owned a BMW and trying to research as much as possible. Excited to find out a Raiti's Ride review. Can't wait to watch.

Love how you put your logo over the speedo when ever you were "driving the speed limit". Not a court in the land that would convict you.

Can you do a 440i video? It has the newer engine too. That way you can compare it to this car, the M4, and other competition such as the new S5

Great review, thanks. I will get the new 4 series when it’s released in October 2020 here in Europe. For us Europeans around 250 hp is plenty enough. I live right next to Germany so if I feel like it I can always drive it on the autobahn up to 155 mph (250 kph) which is the electronic limited top speed. I never keep my cars more than 100K miles. Had 4 BMWs so far: never a single problem or a single glitch. For those who imagine than German cars are money pits or expensive to maintain, I can assure you it Is a very biased judgment. Everything has to do with how you respect your car, how you take care of it and what you do with it. Want a cheap car with which you can drive 300K miles: just get a Toyota pick up truck. You will be more than happy. Spare parts are cheaper too.

That 430i is nice! Love the gray color! Wonderful review Joe, Lori and Mr. McGee! Keep it up guys! Y'all are the BEST!

Just got a 2017 430i and man I love it!

We are " HAPPY " thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I am proud of the owner for adding those modifications.

Keep it up joe 👏🏻

This bmw is sick I would buy that in a heartbeat wow

Yes sir, I Love my 440i. It's a great drivers car.

Great review Joe ! But my days of owning a German car especially a BMW are long over.. Learned the hard way after owning a 2013 X5 for 8 months and sinking nearly $2,500 into it .. bought it with 96k miles what appeared to be in great physical shape from a high end used car dealership... My mistake was not having a mechanic look it over... Leaking rear Diff, replaced torsion bars and control arms in front end, Passenger door lock frozen... all work done at Brooklyn BMW service under an extended warranty I purchased separately when i bought it.. My point here is too share my experiences with a high mileage, 5-6 year old BMW. No bueno... I traded it in since I couldn’t sell it privately for only $10,200 and took a $6k loss and bought my 2013 Lexus ES350 with only 30,009 miles ! Best cars ive ever purchased!! Highest Dependability of any car/truck on the road... Regarding the 430i: 3,500 pounds with a 4 cylinder turbo , that’s a recipe for disaster.. too much weight for a 4 cylinder... lucky if those turbos last more than 75k miles...

I’m a huge BMW fan...my number one favorite car

You can get a used bmw 340i with the B58 engine (the same engine in the new supras) for 20-30k. Amazing cars for sure

I have found with 4 BMWs. They drive best when they 25k/30k miles. I've had a manual and 3 auto. But for sure the 2018 4 has been the BEST. The 5 was too big and many engine problems.

Joe you totally need to review an E46 M3 6 Speed when you get the chance!

I also find the MPG are under rated on the sticker. I get MUCH better MPG.

Scotty Kilmer is shaking his head rn

I purchased a certified 2019 white 430i gran coupe xdrive last week. Got everything except for heads up display(who cares). Upgraded wheels with the red interior. It’s gorgeous but the driving is absolutely the best part. Purchase price 34k before taxes and fees.

I spent 3k service on my 2013 335i even on the 55k mileage. Lesson learned at the hard way. Traded in for the lexus 2016 IS 200t. BEST CAR EVEN OWNED

Good looking car

I would just wait for the new G22 4 series. I believe it's gonna be much improved over this f series.

Used 911’s be good to see 👍

I was ready to buy this car until you popped the hood... If it had the I6 engine I would have driven down and picked it up today!

I actually want one. But I want the convertible with awd. Think about top-down motoring on a warm March day when there’s snow on the ground.

Great video, but hat wind noise on the mic, tho

Please do the 440i that would be a great video for comparison

I want this one when ill go to SC

Looking for a 340i xDrive m sport with the executive package and red interior. But those are rare.

2,000 miles on a BMW? It's not even broken in. You can often get the better car over the new model even if it's pre-owned. I bought my pre-owned 2014 Audi S4 in 2017 because it had the six speed manual which Audi doesn't sell any more as this was the last model to offer it (B8.5). I could have got the 2016 pre-owned 6 speedfor the same price but it didn't have the quad exhaust it had some funky 2 exhaust design which I didn't dig. My B8.5 also has the supercharged V6 and B&O sound system. For the quad exhaust pipes, 19" wheels, sports differential, the MMI Navigation Plus System, 6 speed manual, the B&O sound system I decided to go pre-owned. It's been a great car and am so glad I bought it. Great review!

That screen should actually be touch screen as well. My 2018 340i uses the knob as well as touch screen for input.

Hey Raiti, can you please talk about the checklist before buying a used or certified car. We as consumer have a better understanding and confident.

I ZONK you for putting your logo covering the tachometer but then losing it for a while 🤣🤣🤣!!

2020 7 series next joe

Can you do a review on the bmw 330i?

That 430 is just a 2 door 330. Unless I could score a great deal on it, my inclination is one could get a better equipped 330 new. Plus, you'd probably get the virtual gauges.

By the way, I enjoy Scotty Kilmer reviews, and yes, luxury/premium German cars are more expensive to maintain than Kia, Honda, Toyota, VW, Nissan...

Just bought one. It has 28k miles, dark blue, 21k out the door. I know it will live to the expectations. Watched your vids for a while and love them. Keep it up!

Due to the lack of hours I'm going to have to let go by 17 Accord Sport with 29000 miles on it special edition going to miss it :-( but you hang in there Joe you'll get that gt350r I know you will

I would wait for the new 4 series considering the g20 340i makes 380hp

lots of "off-lease" 2017 430i on the market for $25-26k, CPO from BMW dealers... 25-30k miles

i’m just worried about reliability. My family always been a Honda fam so reliable was never a worry, but damn i’d love one of these beautiful cars

can you add a discussion of interior lighting in your reviews? Just curious how well lit the interiors are when that interior light is on... thanks!

In my opinion, I would lease a brand new one to just get it out of my system that way I won't have to worry about repairs in the long run.

2016 BMW 340i f30

Love the channel and respect your reviews. However not sure where you are going with older model years,. More so, why are you reviewing used cars if you don’t also spend some time hitting likely maintenance areas or trouble spots. That’s what is really on used car buyers’ minds, besides a fair price.

Yessir I love BMW

I totally paused the video to see if there were actual German chocolate Twinkies. Alas, my sadness in cannot be contained. Other than that tease, another great review!

Man, I am debating getting either a cert. pre-owned 2018 430i Gran Coupe ( need 4 doors for the kids) or a 2021 Kia K5 GT. Ugh, decisions. A little help here. Lol

BMW CPO cars are a good deal to an extent. My 2019 430i gran coupe was only 7 months used as an "executive demo" with 9k miles and cost me 65% of the new sticker. Just saying, for the price of a new Camry or Acord, you get BMW fun. I think the value prop curve declines sharply after several years because BMW do suddenly breakdown without much warning, and you may be calling for a tow, i hope it's a sunny day and the tow arrives soon, but i speak from experience that s**t will happen. This is my 3rd BMW, but I try to anticipate normal stuff and cross fingers for the unexpected. If you want an appliance, go get a Camry.

Hi Joe Raiti I thought Guatemala it was coincide to be a Brando new car but I get it, ut was a uses car.

Can you do a review on CL 550 4 matic MB 2011 n up 🤔🤔🤔

L♥️VE my 2 Dr BMW 430i convertible ❣️

What year is it?

Gonna cop one of these I’m not even 22 yet 😂

do you have 1 series in usa for sell you are the best car test draiver in all usa bye bye from italy

Is my Name good?

"If you want to hug a tree." Lmao

It gets up to speed good it's got great Engine noise 👌 Not everyone needs an *M*. Badge Car

What is going on with your mic?

Give me this 430i in a E46 body and with a naturally aspirated 3.0l and I would say YES 😂

Im thinking about grabbing one with xdrive but I’m torn between ‘15 & ‘18. Or a ‘12 650i hardtop😂

I almost got up I think a 15 3 years ago 435 with some m packages on it

Funny thing is I test drove a 2014 435i grand coupe last summer. The 4 cylinder bi turbo is quick but over all the performance was lacking.

Holy cow! For $58K, I rather get the BMW Supra. That’s got an in-line 6 turbo.

Can you send me the link to the lip

Joe the wind sound is absolutely terrible in this video. Do you not review them before posting? Can you do anything about that

Love the 4 series Joe

Sorry Joe, forgot the 👍👍👍..😂

Today you can get a fully loaded 440xi for under 60k

I completely understand why this BMW only has a little over 2k miles....

Does Allen know that the M is that the 430 has an "M" package, which is why this 430 has the front facia lip, the rocker sil and the steering wheel M with the padels, and of cause the M wheels and the suspension M package...Allen it's an M package car, not that its not an M car

Just traded my fully loaded 2020 M340i with 850 miles on the odometer. Took a beating $62k-> 46k. These cars really depreciate! Upgraded to 2020 M4 CS which I’m sure will depreciate too. But this ones a keeper!

Can you add CarPlay?

Real leather but no touchscreen??

BMW stands for bring my wallet lol

Went to their site do not list price - dealer says "Recent Price Drop Reduced by $9,450 since 04/13/2020". Went to Autotrader to look up CPO and this whip can be had for 28-32 grand. Pretty sweet deal considering the MSRP. This is why you buy pre-owned.

That , Car Look Hard, I will Driver That Go Hard in it 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Hey man, used m3, new golf r, or Tacoma trd pro?? Thanks

"If something goes wrong". I think he meant,"when something goes wrong."

Its better with only dual exhaust.
