Just about perfect for where we are in life

I just retired and my wife is about to retire. It was time for a "life-style" car. We wanted a convertible but, it had to be a hard-top for city parking and, to deal with our snow, we wanted either front wheel drive or awd. When we saw this car at a car show it 'spoke' to us on an emotional level and it had those important features. There aren't too many hard-top convertibles anymore; the EOS is on the way out, the Volvo C70 is history as is the Chrysler 200 hard-top. The Lexus has zero trunk space even with the top up, and the Z4 and SLK are rear wheel drive. The 428 x drive 'vert is just about perfect! We decided to take delivery at the SC Performance Center near Greenville and it was a spectacular experience. They let us drive their cars at high speeds, on a slalom course, on an off-road course, and, most impressively, on a skid pad that dramatically demonstrated the anti-skid program that prevented spin out. Amazing! Our car was dramatically delivered (and programmed) in perfect condition and we then took a 1500 mile road trip through the Outerbanks and mountains. Over that distance, the car gave us ~31 mpg on 89 octane gas in ECO mode. It's true that that hard top does take up trunk space but, we were able to easily carry two carry-on suitcases that allowed the top to be lowered. (Our extra debris ended up on the small back seat.) With the top down, the included wind blocker installed and the windows up we were able to easily talk without any buffeting. Our local dealer has been extremely solicitous on price, and they threw in winter BMW mats, caps and usb charger. We're very satisfied! Update: We've now owned the car about a year and a half. It continues to greatly please us. Not a rattle, squeak or issue with anything. I don't mind paying a premium price for a premium product. This is a premium car! Update: We're now about three years into this car and we have about 30K miles on it. Other than having to pay for rotating the tires we continue to have no issues. We just bought a 2018 suv that has every safety feature, i.e. automatic braking, lane control, adaptive cruise, bird's eye view, etc. I'm hoping BMW will offer these features on our next one. Now approaching four years, we are cognizant that the warranty is about to expire which means possible expensive maintenance issues. OTOH, we like the car so we are investigating extended warranty policies. We have had zero issues, nevertheless I wouldn't want to pay for a repair to the hardtop mechanism. FYI, new BMWs now only have 3 year warranties... Update: Since BMW is discontinuing the hardtop convertible we've decided to keep the car and we've purchased an extended warranty through our dealer. The plan is to keep the car for eight years and continue maintaining it through our excellent dealer. (We are only driving about 10K miles/year now since we're retired.)

Avoid 20” rims

We’ve owned the car for two years now. Overall happy with convertible, but want to warn about bigger rims. The combination of 20” BMW M-rims with run flat, low profile tires really compromises the ride. Road noise is loud, but even worse is how much impacts and bumps are transmitted into the cabin. On the other hand, they do make it look much better than stock 17” wheels.

Bought the M-Sports cosmetic upgrade used. Once I replaced the 3 bent rims, the car drove great! Very easy to drive and I highly recommend the convertible. Will but regular tires on when needed as the run-flats are okay, but a little loud. Gonna put a can of Fix-A-Flat in the trunk because it will due the same thing as run-flats.

2015 BMW 4 Series 435i xDrive 2dr Convertible AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
Let me save you the read. The BMW 4 Series is my new fantasy car. Even after owning one for the past 10 months. I bought mine used and have driven it nearly 20k miles and it's been as reliable as a stone ax. Mine is a 435xi (AWD) with the dual scroll turbo and 8speed transmission. Though a convertible it has a hardtop which makes it a great car here in 4 season Michigan!. In sport mode it's a bit to potent for city traffic when trying to pace the car with typical commute traffic. On back roads sport mode truly shines. it stiffens then suspension and the raises the acceleration bar leaving me feeling like a Tae Kwon Do black belt sparring in a gym full of green belts. It's fast and takes directional control in a cool comfortable manner. I've got a full winter package, top speed delete, line delete (fewer badges), and the full air intake/exhaust upgrade. Big brakes and 19" wheels connect this car to the ground and it's a corner carving beast. All while providing 30MPG at highway cruising speeds. the Harman Kardan sound system brings out the highs and thumps out the bass, top up or down. All the controls including the touch screen controls and the idrive (infotainment controls) are easy to work while underway. As a baby boomer I find this vehicle a great daily driver. It does some light duty runs to the local home building supplies store and has carried small furniture (top down furniture sticking up and out) and even has a trailer hitch that allows me to pull a motorcycle, jetski or dinghy when getting away from it all. My wife (perfers to daily drive an SUV) considers it a treat to take "the convertible". Her first day out, she returned and commented how "zippy/fast" the BMW 435 is. She now reserves her right to take it on outings with her friends, and loves when we go out for some top down cruising, especially in winter with the heated seats and heat ducted head rests.37F and feeling like it's 70F is something this convertible does very well. I do recommend changing the oil more often than the BMW recommended 15,000mile interval (I aim for 5,000-6,000 mile intervals). Yes it may be a bit overkill, but I really enjoy this car. I'd say I love it if I were able to love an inanimate object. The BMW 435 is a great car. The convertible is the one for me. With so much power, the duty cycle you put on the car in day to day driving is far below it's capability and must contribute to it's reliability and what I expect will be longevity. My 2015 is a low mile specimen with under 53,000 miles as I'm writing this. Would I recommend one to family and friends? Absolutely! I wish a few of my loved ones would buy their own...

Nice Looking Ride, But a Fussy German Overall

The BMW 435X is a nice car. It is fast and refined, when it works. Even though this car has low mileage on it, it's been in the shop for tire wear, belts, and assorted repairs in the 13 months I've owned it. When it runs, its a great head-turner. It's low to the ground, though, so mid-life crisis buyers beware of ease of egress and ingress. Not an everyday driver, but a nice little toy.

I've loved my 428i for over 7 years. Besides annual oil changes, the only significant service has been a new battery, tires and brake pads. Strangers come up to me all time to make nice comments on my midnight blue/green beauty with 19" wheels. I don't see many of these on the road anymore in upstate NY. I guess most were probably driven south. The car is WAY fun to drive. The high-end car stereo is AMAZING! Mind-blowing loud with crystal clarity and booming bass. The sub-woofers are attached to the car frame under the front dash! If I was forced to mention items that are less than spectacular would be the cost of required premium gas and anticipated high cost of eventual repairs, but after 7 years of fun driving, I can't complain too much.
