2018 440i xDrive manual transmission, M-package

Great car. Manual transmission smooth as butter. Engine powerful and smooth. Sophisticated hum and roar (when pushed). Excellent handling (but not exactly tossable - you'll need an M2 for that). Ride sporty but comfortable. Very stable at high speeds. Superior paint job. Great for everyday and for long distance. Had no problem getting used to the infotainment system (intuitive, do not even have to look down , apple play works well). Already covered 40000 miles. Completely headache free. Still smells, feels, and drives as if new. Superior to 4 cylinder models and much truer to its BMW roots. Superb BMW GT coupe - just the right size (personal but not crammed). I have owned several BMWs before and I love this car. It's a reincarnation of of my first BMW (a 1994 325is, 6 cylinder, coupe) but with much more power and more luxury.

Well I just acquired a 2018 440 xi with M sport package and track handling package with a six speed manual transmission. This is coming off a much beloved 2010 Audi S4. Overall styling BMW probably wins, sleek Coupe versus sedan cabin layout, displays etc. eight year old Audi beats it hands down. Seat Comfort Audi beats it hands-down. Manual transmission Aldi present a much more raw option without automatic rev matching but gives you more visceral driving experience with the ability to practice your own heel toe shifting.BMW seems to use mandatory rev matching having said that That feature works well and the transmission is a supposed easier for inexperienced manual drivers Road feel Is excellent in the BMW but it feels less tossable Power slide on the snow BMW headlights are great but Audis Inot bad either The Audi interior is a decade ahead of the BMW someone has been slouching in Munich. Controls are much more intuitive have more impressive tactile controls, offer better and simpler organized options. Even the engine Looks better in the Audi. The engine hoist sounds good mine was without the exhaust package, but you don’t need such a package to hear the supercharged six rippin it up The Audi is more fun and if you choose an RS 3 ( for a similiar price check your drawers and the giggle meter BMW has always been a bit of poser car Audi pure raw balls

Euro BMW Engine for the FAT American!

OK. Bottom line up front. I went from a fire breathing hairy chested mustached slightly off center BMW 135i with its twin turbo (1 turbo per 3 cans) 6 speed (proper gear box) 2 door sports car that didn't have heated seats or heated steering wheel or rear view camera because real men don't need heated seats and they really don't care what is behind them because...well odds are you passed it at well over the speed limit.... which lasted me to 145k miles....tooooooo a......new to me 2017 BMW 425xi. Now let's compare the two cars! 1) When you turned on your 135i in the morning in your garage your knuckles grew fuzzy and your voice dropped an octave....that engine woke up! And it woke up every fat American in your little town who had fallen asleep at 6pm with a cheeseburger in hand and 40oz of diet coke next to them! When the 425 wakes up.....it's like drinking a cup of DD....it's "coffee"....as in it's a drink that looks like coffee....may even smell like coffee and it comes in 40oz bladder buster cups but no respecting man would ever call it a cup of coffee. 2) When you sat IN the 135i YOU SAT IN THE 135...I had the cheap fake black leather seats that were THE BEST SEATS I had ever sat in in my entire life! Everyone who ever sat in my car said the same thing..."HOLY HELL I feel like I'm a fighter pilot!". I now sit in the 425 xi with its heated leather seats.....at 210lb i'm a "skinny" American and well this thing is as wide as a dad jeans wearing Chevy from Iowa who has a thing for mayo in large jars, stuffing on everything. it has "bolsters" as in someone said they were there but well these seats are as flat as Kansas. You can manspread all you want in this car to hold your 140oz bladder buster from DD and become an average 300lb American and fit right in to these seats! 3) Transmission...I went from a 6 speed 3 pedal machine that switched gears like a sniper taking out rolly pollies at your local piglywigly for the joy of it to a 8 speed (really 8!) automatic / sport transmission that really thinks it's connected to an inline 6 with two turbos rather than the 2L 4 caned handbag that sits under the hood. And how does it change gears you ask? Well ever let a Playstation vaping skinny jeans wearing 15yo drive a manual transmission and wonder if and when the engine mounts were going to call it quits? Well that's about how well this "sport" transmission shifts from first to second....it will spill your drink..it will make you wonder if the engine just gave up...it will make you wonder from what online university did the mechanical engineer that developed this transmission graduate from and who was his father so that he would be put in charge of this part of the car. If I were one of the CEO's at BMW, I would politely get out from behind my desk grab a very large heavy iron bar walk down the hall to where this pathetic excuse of an engineer in his skinny jeans sucking on a vape pen while listening to One Direction was sitting and use said heavy iron bar to destroy his office and his prized collection of exotic vape pens and his scale models of WRX's and then just stand there and watch him cry. This is how much I hate this transmission....it's not personal.......well I'm sorry no it really is! Also I would probably throw the little bastard out of a second story window a few times.....why? Because this transmission upshifts harshly and at 2k RPM....yes you read that right...this is a 2L turbo engine mated to a transmission that likes to upshift at the point that the turbo starts producing boost.......why would you do that I say why would you think this was a good idea I say......then I would see all the vape pens and the skinny jeans and realize oh yeah that we hired this engineer because his dad is probably one of the members of the board and well his last job was with a little French car company. But it's not all bad! The fit and finish on the new to me 2017 is actually good! the IDrive doesn't wish to take us though the rougher parts of town to pick up copious amounts of narcotics and start bare knuckle fist fights like my old 135 use to do...and having an AWD car is nice.....but what would you know...you just Uber Eat's a bucket of KFC with extra mashed potatoes and coleslaw with extra mayo from down the street so that you could be big enough to fill out this front seat! So over all very nice car, very well assembled and in white it actually looks very good during sunrise and sunset...has some very nice lines that just seem to show up and make you smile much like my old 135i did. The 2L turbo is a nice engine and the 8 speed transmission is nice when you drive it and push it past 3k rpm. But here is the deal if you had a 6Cyl BMW before and are thinking of saving the world and going with the 4..........don't....it's just not worth it........I'm not saying i'll sell this car tomorrow and upgrade to the 6....i'll learn how to grow up Car was sold after 4 years and 40k miles....transmission issue.
