Used 2016 BMW 4 Series Consumer Reviews
Estoril blue beauty
In my honeymoon phase. Drove out of state to PA to pick up this totally loaded 2016 435i X drive. I test drove the 4 cylinder. Trading in my 335, I wasn't happy driving the 4. It was sluggish and heavy. Not with the v6. Highly recommend the M Sport package. This car was loaded ( MSport, Nav, surround cameras, entertainment, etc) with everything I would have ordered, except the price and financing couldn't be matched by waiting on a 2017. It truly is the best of both worlds. Top up zero noise. Top down, wow! :-). If you can still find a 2016, equipped the way you want, then buy it. The warranty is longer, too. BMW moved to 3 years for 2017.

a great road car
A great car to drive. smmooth engine, seamless trans. Suspension firm but not harsh. It stops I'm expert on brakes but I have no trouble with them. Instruments are German, more compilcated than needed. Had a Toyota that was not even close in to this BMW but to do simple tasks all I had to do was turn a dial or push a button. Many tasks in the BMW are done by calling up a menu go to a sub menu to do some thing. All that aside I bought the BMW used in 2018 with exactly 30,000 miles and now it has 68,000. I have it service very 5000 miles. I've not had not one trouble with My 435I. I've had many cars the only car equal Tony BMWt was a toyota 1976 I put 200,000 miles on it.

Every 2Dr Sports Coupe should be this good
Definitely go for the x-Drive all wheel drive option, even in Southern states, as the almost .5 second 0-60 improvement over the rear-wheel drive model is more than worth it. Plus the all wheel drive provides you with the best winter driving traction and control that you can get.

Nice Car Turns into a Nightmare!
The engine in my 2016 BMW 435i literally blew-up and now BMW is refusing to honor the warranty. The repair shop claims they found water spots in the air intake plenum. They claim that due to recent heavy rains and driving through "a puddle" 5 weeks earlier caused a piston connecting rod to break through the side of the engine block! This is even though the car ran perfectly for the entire 5 week period and 2500 miles after the rain event without even the slightest vibration. What they couldn't explain, at all, was how enough water made it past the air cleaner without getting the air cleaner wet or damaged! The rain event did short a couple electronic systems as error codes indicated and put the car into a "limp-home" mode, but were simply cleared and reset after I had them checked. Interestingly, the service advisor and a service manager kept aggressively encouraging me to "just file a claim with your insurance carrier" and that "people have been doing it there all the time"! It seemed like a "go-to" line for these guys even though any competent mechanic would conclude that this engine did not "blow" due to water damage! I checked with a few! It has been my experience here that BMW, through their authorized representatives, will do anything possible to avoid responsibility in honoring their warranty including encouraging their customers to commit insurance fraud. At least this was the "feeling" I was left with after my conversations with the service staff at the particular BMW dealer in Long Beach, California.

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.
