This is the 2021 BMW 4 Series, in its M440i trim. It hits 100km/h in about 4.5 seconds and costs as tested, $75,000 Canadian. Not cheap, but its the price you pay for BMW's latest and greatest 3-series adjacent sports coupe. But does it offer Ultimate Driving Machine thrills? Watch to find out. Subscribe!

#BMW #4Series #Grille
I have always loved the bmw grills. but don't know about this/these one. overall it's not a bad design though.
idk, guys, I like this car! something new and sharp. I drove this car and is way better than C43 with especially all the rattling and squeaking you hear from C43. in fact I would say it's the best in its class. and with that 382HP it flies.
Bullsh*t
I like the grill
I’m baffled how this design could ever get signed off.
ok so im coming back to this after a bit of time looking at the car... and i will say the actual m cars are growing on me, still not my favorite but i dont hate it. this is still awful tho.
2019 Camaro tried this. Ugly stick is cool now.
Soggy underwear lmao
I'd like to see what this thing does after 150k miles what happens if that alternator starter fails between the transmission? Sheet!!!
Well i do like those kidneys
I actually like the grill in person. The M4 on the other hand is kinda weird
This is one ugly car. I no longer consider this a classic BMW. It is unrecognizable.
BMW makes regular grills Ppl: bruuh its all the same BMW makes a new daring design Ppl: eww wtf is this bring back the old design ...And this is why we are a dying kind :)
Good review. I’m sorry but I think the grille is pretty cool.
It’s like they told the designers to erase all bmw design cues
It looks better in person
They messed up big on the grill, specially since a license plate has to sit right in the middle of it...
I like the front end 😢
I love the grills sooooo stop talking bad about it
BMW needs to see their dermatologist...I had a skin cancer on my back that looked better than that bloated kidney grille
Throttle house should be the next top gear
I wonder how long it will take BMW to finally listen to their customers and presenters and continue their cars with normal grills
Никита, между тем к игре в online казино надо также подходить с умом. Само собой, например если вы играете в вулкан 24 там ни разу не выведете рубли, а если подойти к данному вопросу более глобально то можно знать, что бывают такие как 1хбеты, написанные на коленке и не выводящие деньги, а имеются казино с выданной лицензией, там подкрутка игровых автоматов исключена. По-этому не стоит решать только по левым сайтам. Список лицензионных игорных заведений онлайн можно посмотреть здесь: casinreg.ru
The intro was fantastic😂😂😂 but actually I like that grill😀
Terrible looking car
BMW design language has lost it’s elegant yet sporty accent. They’ve lost their way.
whats with the face? Murray Franklin
I hear "kidney bean" all the time. All I see is a butt print.
Car is gorgeous. I don’t get the hate of the styling. Audi got the same hate at first now everyone is used to it
You guys nailed the golden years of Top Gear without the crazy budget. Let's add a drone to the equipment and get sweet aerial shots.
“A face that only a mother could love”😭😭
I think the reason why manufacturers started putting audio of the engine in the cabin, is because in the future when things are all electric they are gonna pump in fake sounds for people who want to be driving a gas car.
I just bought the car in green and love it. I have driven nothing but BMW’s for 20 years and I like the new grill. Whenever I park the car people come over and check it out and they love the grill and the car. What car is going to tell why its raining outside?
What up doc. Not this BMW.
That car is sooooo butt ugly it is scary ! What were they thinking ?
As a young person still in there 20’s these are the best looking BMW’s I’ve seen since I was born to this earth I LOVE THIS DESIGN SO FAR...it’s the grill for me everybody’s gonna wanna analyze that especially the newer it is
Everyone talking shit about how it looks from their 2004 Ford Focus. lol stfu that thing is a BEAST
I would pass on the grill alone. BMW's arrogance takes it to the next level though. Buying a Porsche.
I drove that car yesterday. It is such a monster
Once you see Adolf, you can’t unsee it 🥸
Ala the 4-series trying to pull out the Angry Birds pig look
Yes, please work on that front end, BMW!
that grill is nice man, get over it already
Why am I the only person who likes the new m4
I can’t figure out if I absolutely love or hate it the look of the front of this car. Then from the side it looks just like Infiniti G37 coupe .. I’ve always loved BMWs and the way they looked but this is a fucking disappointment
전면부 어디서 많이 봤다~~했는데 그랜저 구형 느낌 많이 나네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I like the grill!!
That blue Artecryx jacket is dummy expensive lol. More interesting than the M440i. That’s sad BMW. Really sad.
Why is everyone so focused on the styling? It just continues BMW's tradition of making ugly cars.
Very ugly front
BMW is lost. The backend and back side look like a Hyundai Tiburon from a dozen years ago. Actually, the Tiburon looks better.
Kink? :D
It’s not only the front end that’s ugly. The sides are too soft, no more edges, it’s way too round. It’s just not a BMW.
If they used the grill from the new BMW M4 GT3 it would have been better. Not great but much better. Maybe they or someone will find a way to replace the current grill to one that looks like the GT3. www.bmw-motorsport.com/en/topics/bmw-m-motorsport/race-cars/bmw-m4-gt3.html
Mustang V8 does not compare quality-wise to BMW at all. It's also pretentious. BMW is classy, even with those kidneys. It's acquired taste, BTW. I don't, however, approve of such a tiny drive unit in M models. They could do a better job.
Some cars look better in person, but this looks so freaking ugly on video that I wouldn’t want to see it in person.
The new grills actually looks fire🔥🔥🔥
R U I N E D
The grill is ahead of its time. It makes the car look like it came from the future. Kudos to BMW for being that bold. I like it.
How can you be mad at the grill but not even care about what they’ve done to the c pillar
Funny. The gauge cluster in my opinion is one of the coolest things about this car! These guys are the strangest duo I’ve seen. They only drive the cars and don’t talk about specs! Booooooo👎
the m440i x drive actually does 0-60 in 3.8 when tested by carwow
I will defend this cars design with my life
According to an article in C&D regarding the new obnoxious BMW kidney grills, the change was based on large customer demand/request. But who the heck would want such an unattractive change, to such an iconic and largely unchanged part of BMW? According to the article, China is the biggest market/purchaser of large BMW luxury vehicles, i.e. the new X7, 7 series, etc. And supposedly large grills are very popular in China on other vehicles they produce...some kind of show of success or power. Anyway, as most companies do (think Las Vegas), they listen to the wants/needs of their highest paying/volume customers. Personally, I had no idea the Chinese bought more top end BMW's than any other country. So there you go. That's the origin of the unappealing kidney grills. Expect to see them implemented on all models, even smaller ones like the M440i we see here, as they will want to please and capture the market across the enitre range of vehicle segments in China. Yet just another reason (like their wasn't enough already) to dislike the CCP and their ever-reaching control and influence.
I don't think comparing it with an Alfa Quadrifoglio is really fair given that produces over 500 bhp
Just got my 2018 BMW 340i MPPSK 1 and 2 from Grand River last week...thanks for the video guys!
I think you meant UGLIEST.
I like the grill, but I don’t have 70k to buy one.
That is one ugly fucking car wow 😳
I’ve just replaced my great and totally reliable 2018 440i Coupe with a Tanzanite blue M340i as I just hate the grille of the new M440i!
So you're saying the 440i is the same as a Mercedes E450 coupe, same inline 6, same mild hybrid, only with way way worse looks, a B pillar therefore worse visibility, and of course terrible BMW reliability. Finally, once again, let's not forget the hideous looks of the 440i.
How would you Honestly compare it to the Stinger GT Limited ?
I really love the grill
3:55 straight Jeremy Clarkson moment right there
It looks ugly, in a bad ass way. I like the grill. I had a 435i m sport x drive. It was superb to drive . This is better. Currently have a 2019 Mustang GT /premium pp1.
“The same guy who does the road signs on his last day of work” “With a face that only a mother could love” LMAOOOOOO🤣🤣🤣
Test drove this car 3 times and it is nothing but awesome. Drove the Audi S5 and the MB E350 coupes and there is no comparison. Looks are subjective and happen tho think it has a great body style including the new grille...which gives it a more aggressive look. People don't like change and most of those people are the older ones like your parents or grandparents. So give it a try and I'm sure you will agree.
The new 4 series front grill is not my favorite design feature either but why is no one complaining about the sizes of Audi's front grills which are at least 50% larger...?
yo that ending was kinda depressing lol
10/10 fie design for me, before this car I never considered BMW.
I would rather have Joe Biden sniff me than look at that thing any longer.
Every time I see the logo I know there's over 90% chance a gigantic asshole is behind the wheel...BMW the asshole 🧲
It’s still a no for me. I am a Current 2018 440 m owner, will not get the new one when my lease is up in 1.5yrs. I do like how the new m3 looks including the grill treatment, less pig like than the new 440.
Whoever designed that instrument cluster should be fired immediately. Along with the rest of the designers, especially whoever designed that grille.
It is like leopard body with bull face
I love the front and I have from the start. I’m fact, I had been bored by bmw design for years.
The grille resembles a Beaver's toothy grin! 🤓
This isn't even one of the scary ones! 🤣
I can relate to the opening 'fright scene'. I was walking around my local BMW dealers forecourt last week, oblivious to the knowledge there is a new 4-series. Turned a corner in the lot and went, "Holy crap, WTF is that?!" Ugliest car ever? Great work though Throttle House, I enjoy your videos.
Somebody said it and I just can't unsee it, looks like a pig from angry birds....
What has been seen, cannot be unseen. Woof.
This is by far the ugliest Front Fascia that BMW has ever designed...and this is coming form a BMW Fanboy. The biggest issue I have with the exterior design of the2021 G22 BMW 4 Series 2021 G80 BMW M3 and the 2021 G82 BMW M4 are: 1. The huge, ugly Front Grille 2. The Offset Front Radar Sensor placement - Who in their right mind would mess up a front fascia like that??? Asymmetrical Design elements always fails... 3. The Excess weight - Have you lost your mind BMW?
This is that girl you see at the gym from behind, then body in profile and you're thinking to yourself...."Oooooh yeah"...then she turns her face in your direction and you stagger back a pace or two. Total butterface.
Hideous from every angle....YIKES !!!
Overall, ugly, I womt buy one of these..
A face only a mother can love 🤣 amazing
BMW's new lung grills are ridiculous.
And then you put on the license plate. I think Audi/Kia love-child is a perfect fit.
I believe bmw did this b/c the customers were always complaining about every bmw looking the same . An now ppl are appreciating the outdated look of the previous models . Just my analysis....... oh an the person whom is directly responsible his name is Domagoj Dukec, blame him 😂
really love their videos but this was the first one where i think they missed the mark, the grille is preference based sure but the rest of the car...(driving dynamics not looks) is actually pretty fantastic. They made it sound like it was somehow not as good as the m340i, but this is a much more sportier BMW feeling car. One of the best.
