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.

I love my car, from the color, pearl white, to the peanutbutter interior. The awesome design of the hardtop, she looks amazing with the top down. I get the best of both worlds, The beauty of a sophisticated coupe, and the sporty look of a convertible!!! It handles like a dream!!!!

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...
