This is one terribly designed vehicle lol. That c43 is a million times better aesthetically.

I saw the car a month ago during a visit to test drive another BMW. I think this M440i looks pretty good. I even like the grill.

In the US, ZDY comes with automatic lane change, but can only be engaged above 45 mph. This has to be turned on in the settings, and ACC needs to be active.
The drivers attention camera comes into play on highways under 40 mph, and will give warnings if your eyes wander from the roadway for more than 7 seconds, but allows for complete hands free driving. Again, this is based of US regulation and am unsure of your laws.

This color makes me want to take a bite of the car like a cake but i can't explain why None the less it looks great!

[02M3ForMe]

Congratulations!

I go back and forth on this car. I saw one cross in front of me at an intersection and it had this big and blocky look from the side profile that I think is a worse characteristic than the grille. Big overhangs, long wheelbase. The sleek, lean, sporty nature of the 3/4 coupe is gone, replaced by an A5-like “slab” appearance that hasn’t quite grown on me yet. The C coupe looks significantly better, IMO.

Love the colour and the to the point review.
Congratulations mate, she is a beauty.

Took delivery of my m440i a few days back so thought I’d update about my initial thoughts.

I’m coming from a C43 Mercedes which I really enjoyed and was one of the few cars I was sad to see go back at end of lease, so my comparison is mostly to that.... and so far I’m very impressed!

My highest priorities for a car are.
1. The drivers Asistance (2 hour commute across London everyday)
2. The power
3. The look, hence I always prefer 2 door cars

So for the first point, I think the Bmw drivers assistant pro feels reliable, the biggest difference to mercedes is that the merc seems to be more comfortable without a car in front to follow, but the Bmw switches off more often in this instance. And also I don’t appear to have lane change assist which was a nice feature when using a lot. The Bmw having touch sensors in the steering wheel is great though ie not having to actually give it a shake like on the merc. I’m yet to see what the benefit of the camera watching me is as I think this new.

On to the drive and power, the car feels like a beast similar to my old E93 M3 but with the mild hybrid is very smooth, but very quiet it almost feels like an EV! Would’ve really liked more roar but eu regs I guess. The lower stance makes it feel very planted, the handling is great but the steering does feel a little numb.

I have to mention one negative here however is that the steering wheel is huge, I have big hands but this thing is girthy and a strange design choice, I would prefer not to notice it.

Finally on to the styling so far no ones mentioned the grill, with the euro plate I don’t think the grill is noticeable to non bmw people. I do personally think the extra length compared to the old gen car is unnecessary and has taken away from the proportions of the car a little. It looks and feels a lot more GT than track car and they already had the 8 series for that so I don’t know why it was made bigger than the 3 series.

So all round great car and these are my initial observations when comparing to my last few cars

Congrats. The car looks great.

Car is nice, the grill is horrible. Some people can get past it, some can't. Enjoy it.

Love the pictures posted, I also just picked up a 2021 M440i in Dravit Gray on 12/30! I just had the windows tinted and the car looks amazing.
