I like his videos, thanks for sharing!

Although not sure why ppl are surprised it's faster than BMW quotes 0-60, that's pretty much standard BMW for all their vehicles. The M340 RWD has been quoted just as fast as the times Joe was getting in this M440 and the awd M340i's are getting high 3's on a consistent basis.

Also don't agree w his statement that this vehicle will be faster 0-60 than the RWD G80/G82... even the F80 was just as quick if not quicker than that.

I think this video sums up exactly what bmw was going for- quick 0-60 times and that's about it. While I def see the market for this car, I wouldn't want to give up my M340 for it.

Looking forward to more forum members posting their experiences here soon!

Yeah I agree, the comparison to the G80 RWD doesn't quite make sense as I would imagine the quoted 0-62mph time of 3.9s will come in less than that as it does with the M340/M440. I think we all know the 40i's are very capable cars so it's no surprise that his first impressions were positive. I get the feeling though that his reviews of newer model Bmw's are becoming a little too positive, but I guess YouTubers have to do that in order for manufacturers like BMW to keep inviting them to events and providing them with the latest model loaner cars.
