We’ve already seen the first video review of the BMW 4-Series Coupe – a rather critical one from Chris Harris – but a second opinion is always welcome. This time the crew from Auto Express got hold of a brand new BMW 435i and their conclusions are not very different to Harris’, although they found more kind words to describe the 4-Series.
First of all, the reviewer loved the car’s styling, describing the 4-Series Coupe as one of the best looking modern BMWs. Being based on the 3-Series’ platform, it is also a practical car (for a coupe at least), with the boot being only 45 liters smaller than the 3-Series sedan’s.
But how does it drive? In a straight line, it is not different at all from a 3-Series, with the ride being comfortable – provided you don’t spec the optional 19-inch wheels which make the car’s ride a bit bumpy. In corners, though, the 435i was found to be more precise and more neutral than the 3-Series – the lowered suspension certainly helps with this.
However, just like Harris, AE found the car not much sharper than the 3-Series, at least not as much as the different styling and name would lead people to believe. The upcoming BMW M4 should solve that problem though. You can watch the review in the video posted below.
