I don't mind the black wheels as much now but maybe once the tyres wear down on them I might stick some winters on them and get a set of M performance or ACS wheels.
tbh i would like to add shadowline particularly now i specified dravit grey, but all the extras were mounting up ( tech plus pack 3500 )

in the end decided sunroof would be better shout

Select Autohold On or OFF from button on bottom right of centre console and as soon as you apply brakes and come to a standstill, Autohold holds the car stopped until you press the accelerator. It remembers the setting as well so you don't have to turn it on everytime you get in the car, just press it once, you'll notice the symbol on the right of the digital dash and jobs a good un.

Attachment 2424577

It's a great feature on creeping Automatics, just a shame when I jump into the wife's Qashqai, I forget that doesn't have it and jolt forward at junctions and queues!!
excellent really pleased it has this - almost feels like it should be a safety feature on all automatics. was shocked our range rover didnt - perhaps thats a offroad thing

I'm sure that's another blue as Arctic was a matte colour.

Super looking car, I was thinking of getting the first gen 4 Series but went with a new 330e instead, which I love. Would definitely consider the new 4 next time. Looking forward to seeing pics and it in real life.

What makes me cringe regarding the 4 series, is all this hate for the grills, people saying they are leaving BMW because of the size of the grill, it's too big and in your face. Ironically, the 2 makes that rival BMW, Audi and Mercedes, both have bigger grills!!

I personally think the 4 series looks fantastic and makes the old version look, well, old and out of date. I think Matt Watson got it bang on, after the initial shock of seeing it for the first time, every time I see one it looks better and better.

Well jealous of you picking this up, I think it's deffo gonna be my next car when I've done with the 330i. I did look at the 8 series as they were doing some incredible offers on the 840D at the time, but as good looking as they are, they are massive and there's bugger all room in the back seats so I was glad to see there was plenty of leg room in the rearr of the 4 series although the headroom is slightly compromised, not that I give a jot as I won't be in the back!!.

My thinking exactly! Grills on most competitor an high end cars are huge look at RR, Bentley, Aston .. tbh the old BMW’s looked ridiculously undersized when lined up to the rest

And agree was this close to pulling trigger on an 8 (price would’ve been similar!) but decided it’s too long for London driving, length seemed to make sense for the M8 but not so much for the 840.

In fact would’ve have preferred if the 4 hadn’t been made longer, but at least it’s sensible by comparison lol

I'd agree, the initial shock of the new grill has passed and think the one in that review looks spot on.

I'm more for practicality so do we know if there will be a GC version as feel that would be bloody awesome?!
