You might be the ONLY one who feels this way.

I don't think the 4er is ugly - but I do think it's too damn big. I saw one a couple of weeks back and I seriously thought it was a 6er from the side, and at a decent distance.

BMW has made airplanes...bikes...cars...fuck it, let's make some boats while we are at it!

So according to the video in the OP, the 435i is a CABRIO, as in convertible...

Look for yourself in the 435i vid description by the same user:

Clearly says

2014 BMW 435i Cabrio with 306 HP acceleration and top speed on german autobahn.

So surely, with the coupe 435i it would be pretty even? Would be interesting

Anyway I'm totally happy with my N55 MPPK!

On the 235 the needle on the rev counter sweeps across so damn quick. The 435 looks almost lethargic in comparison.

The 435 is the dark horse in this race. Let's be honest, it's fast and beautiful!

Depending who you ask, lol.

But yeah, I was a big fan in person. I like the lower profile. Like a baby 6.

[sleeeper]

The rear styling of the 2 reminds me of the Dodge Neon. I was gonna be pissed if it came with an LSD, because they all need it. I will eventually get it

Yeah it's typical of BMW to make everything optional.

However I will be surprised if we don't see an M340i and M440i after LCI with about 330-340bhp... Which knowing BMW will also have optional MPPK, to make a bit of extra cash.

Glad you like it though.

I'd beg to differ Cosa Gregorio oops sorry..."Indie" lol. Please try not to speak on behalf of the site members, particularly when you info is wrong and unsubstantiated. Haven't you three learned anything here???

It's hard to argue about something as subjective as looks. In my opinion, the 4 series is a good looking vehicle, as is the 2 series in M-sport trim.

Now speed is very objective. Motor Trend has tested both the M235i and the 435i convertible. The M235i had a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds, compared to 5.0 seconds for the 435i convertible. I can't seem to find an F32 Auto 435i acceleration time, as C&D only tested the manual and it was slower at 5.2 seconds.

Just MHO.

Granted the 2-series isn't perfect either... ugly rims and the car is too small/stubby... certainly not as nice as the outgoing 335i - but much better than the 4-series. BMW will learn the hard way... just look at all of the previous 335i owners (including myself) switching to the M235i.

It's interesting how the internet seems to have bred a mentality, especially in those who have come of age in the internet era, that one is to make broad, almost insulting statements about things, with no room for gradations. Things are no longer "not my cup o' tea", but instead "they suck!!" As if something has to be destroyed if one does not personally like it.

If someone blurted things like that out in real life they'd quickly become a pariah. Yet for some reason we feel entitled to do it online.

With the right wheels the 4 series is pretty handsome in my opinion.

Well said.

This is a run I did in my 435i (F32) with MPPK:

I installed the PPK when the car had 1000km and so it has been run-in properly. My 80kph to 200kph is around 11.9 seconds making it much quicker than the M235i. Also this run was done at an altitude of 1,753 metres (5,751 ft) above sea level. I would say that the 250kw that BMW are claiming is actually closer to 260kw.

To all the 435i owners out there, get the PPK it is the best money you will ever spend!
