BMW 4 Series Coupe 2018 review | Mat Watson Reviews

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.

Rosemary West joke? This channel got dark as fuck

Did you spot the Easter egg in the video? It was the high amount of plastic used on the 4 series, kind of like Kim Kardashian.

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. :)

and just like kim k..."it has a big wide opening"

[davesatay]

Kim Kardashian is gross. You insulted this fine BMW!

[mcbalzer]

we do not really know if Kim has a big wide opening, it's only speculation Matt :)

I just bought 428xi coupe and I'm so happy with it.

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).

Get the badass looking adaptive LED headlights

Love the exterior, it's just the interiors of all the BMWs need to be updated just a little bit IMO. Still a solid car though. 👍

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

Just tap the seat slide button and let go, it'll slide automatically.

So many 'reviews' are just fanboy sales pitches. You actually mention the good and bad of this car, much appreciated. I'm subscribing.

[shagzyy]

This car is brilliant in sport mode especially if you fit a nice looking dark side intercooler and down pipe

[Markisveryepic]

review the gran coupe of this car please!

[JoeAchilles]

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... 🖒

[alexandruparausanu]

When Mat was talking about how much you can fit in the boot(Y) I didn't know at what boot(y) he was referring to ... "quite useful, you can fit a lot of stuff in it" hmm :))

[TaiwanLYC]

for bmw front seat you don't have to hold the button. just press once it will move forward by itself. I'm a 2 series owner so i know
