Who has a 4 series on order?

Please share if you are buying one of these. What model, color, options, do you plan on getting? What are you replacing?
Even if you are not buying, how would you order your 4 coupe?
Thanks. Im just really anticipating seeing some real shots of this car. Im looking forward to the m4 as well.

Hi, I'm probably going for a 420xd with 8 gear automatic, including the M-sport. For the exterior I'm going to try to get the Valencia orange from the 1M otherwise it'll probably be Estoril blue. I'm not sure about extra options yet but probably satnav etc.

I'm replacing my Mercedes c220cdi w204 (white, Amg package + the original 19" c63 wheels multispoke design). Unfortunate enough I had to much technical engine problems with it. Hopefully the bmw won't let me down as the merc did.

The 4 series wil not be my first experience with bmw, I've owned a z3-coupe 3.0i a few years ago. But I assume I can't compare them with each other.

I might be forced out of my soon to be M135i earlier than expected, but its cheaper and less hassle than moving home. It'll be a toss up between 430d and 435d depending on price difference and performance figures tbh. It will have to be a diesel model this time, my daily commute is due to sharply increase.

Since I'm going for Estoril or Black on the M-Lite I reckon probably silver on 4 series, M Sport with a possibility of red leather given how impressive the extended leather looks on the photos i've seen. Also granted I can live with it, I'd say the 8spd Auto, which proved brilliant in my 2 test drives of the M135i.

In terms of options, updated sound system has to be top of my list, I suspect HK will be the best you can have fitted to the 4 series. Few M Performance bits I suspect, but I'd really have to see the options list and find out what comes as standard first

I'm new to BMW, but I have been keeping an eye on the 4 series for some time. I came very close to pulling the trigger on an F30, but, by the looks of things, I'm glad I delayed my purchase. The 4 series is looking great. I'm a little skeptical of BMW's reliability (I'm coming from a Honda), but I'm craving the performance and ride.

Below is a snap shot of my projected order. I'm still torn on the Coral Red seats. The change with the red lower dash is a bit unimpressive; I would rather have an all black dashboard. I'm still between the Beige and Coral Red leather. I'll be getting a convertible, so black isn't an option in the Atlanta sun.
  • BMW F33 435i Convertible
  • B39 Mineral Grey Metallic
  • LCL5 Coral Red Leather
  • ZPP Premium Package
  • ZTP Technology Package
  • ZMT Manual Transmission
  • 688 Harman Kardon Surround Sound System
  • ZMM M-Sport Line
  • 2PL 442M 19" Alloy Wheels
  • 4DL Highlight trim finishers black high-gloss
  • 4MR Aluminum Hexagon Interior Trim

My must haves:
  • Keyless Entry
  • Bluetooth Audio
  • 19" Wheels
  • Manual Transmission (a definite must)

I can care less about...
  • Navigation system
  • Parking assist (would like the sensors though)
  • iPhone dock/connection (because we all know Apple will change it again anyway and I don't carry an iAnything product)
  • BMW Apps

I haven't quite placed my order but expect to be getting a 428i Sportline in Alpine white with DHP and maybe the sport auto and heated leatherette seats. Pretty stripped, I know but that IS how I roll.

Anyone care to comment on pricing? Is it MSRP or the highway or is anyone getting a better deal?

The Sport Auto is a telepathically good piece of kit!

Are you ordering based on driving the F30 328 or just from what you've read? Can you change your mind and not lose your deposit?

i would have to get over the ugly front end BMW has been inflicting on its 3 series customers lately before i ordered.

This car is no E92.

The E92 is my favorite daily driver (I have owned three of them) but after a demo in an F30 sedan my car felt like it was getting a little long in the tooth. As soon as my dealer gets the order form and an allocation I will be ordering a 435i xDrive with the M Sport package in Melbourne Red on black. I am leaning toward the 8 speed ZF transmission, Dynamic Handling Package, Permium Package, Cold Weather Package, Harmon Kardon sound system, and navigation.

I won't put money down without a chance to sit in it. Long torso and short arms make every mm of headroom necessary.

i would order one 100% if i could get mineral white with m-sport, but then i found out they dont offer m-sport in that color.

i was willing to opt for the modern line trim so that i can get mineral white there, but then i found out they dont offer modern line in u.s.

i was willing to then opt for luxury line once again for mineral white, but then i realized they dont offer the wheels or interior seats i want on that line.

im so confused with this, im not even sure i want one now

mineral white IS a deal breaker for me. i want that color


another question i have is will you be able to get the "bimmerang" and window accents in chrome instead of black for m-sport trim?

Can't wait to get mine

I gave my dealer a deposit to hold an allocation for me. I’m thinking a 2014 435i xDrive coupe, Sport Line, Mineral Grey, Coral Red interior, and 19” RFTs with the following packages: Technology, Premium, Dynamic Handling, Cold Weather, Driver Assistance, Lighting (want LED headlights), Harmon Kardon sound and the list of other possibilities goes on. This will be my third BMW. I started with a 1999 328Ci followed by a 2003 330Cic which has been an excellent car for 11 years now. This new coupe will probably be the most deluxe car I’ve ever ordered and its sight unseen. The best I can do is check out the sedans to see what I should be expecting. What confidence I must have in BMW.

my honda had all kinds of problems. so did my VW. i think it really depends on the car, some times they are perfect, some times they aren't.

at least if you buy new you get a warranty.

Went by a local dealer yesterday to inform on pricing and order the F32.
Was planning on ordering a 420d M Sport in Valencia Orange/Sakhir Orange and Cohiba brown int. (both through Individual). Other must haves were Adaptive drive, HK, M Sport brakes in gold/yellow, brushed alu trim and chrome strip, 8-speed sport AT.

Dealer was unable to configure at this point? What the hell.. production starting in couple of days and no way to order?? Might have to go look for a more capable dealer.

Also anyone knows if Sakhir Orange is able to order through Individual? Dealer said it could work, hower I always assumed M specific colors were not available to non-M cars??
I was quoted roughly 3000€ for SO and 1400€ for VO through BMW Individual, plausible?

I think my F32 order will be submitted by my dealer today!

Here's the build:

2014 435i Coupe M-Sport Line
Estoril Blue Metallic
Black Leatherette
Aluminum Hexagon Interior trim w/ Estoril Blue Finishers
Manual Transmission
Navigation
Automatic High Beams
HK Sound

Should be a July/August build and taking delivery at the Performance Center in September probably. STOKED!

I oredered my E92 the second I was able to back in 2006..... Very sexy body, amazing TT Engine & etc.

F32 just did not do it for me. I am either going to hope for a 440 or wait for the M4.

I am not buying another 335 wrapped in a new shell.

Looks like we are getting Mineral White in Canada, but only on the 428i, not the 435i. So you may be able to special order it for a fee. In the Canadian guide we have ZSP Special Order the US does not seem to have this option. Exactly what can and can't be "Special Ordered" remains unclear to me.

Things I could go without:

-Driver Assistance

But since i'm getting $1000 from Bmw experience + $1000 & 0.9% APR from graduation incentive= 60K is not too shabby
