BMW 435i M Sport (Estoril Blue) at Goodwood Festival of Speed (UK model)

Saw this UK model at Goodwood Festival of Speed on Friday so thought I'd share with you guys.... I like it with the M Sport trim

Anyway, here she is - 435i from Goodwood

My impressions:

Overall impressions were very good. It has very nice proportions, looks fatter and more squat than the E92.

I only sat in there for a couple of minutes but it felt like a nice place to be. Nice finish to parts and seating position is what I would expect - nice and low with driver orientated controls.

The rear consol doesn't look as good as it does in the current E92 i.e. it doesn't meet and continue through the rear seat and the storage tray is more like that out of the E82. So a bit of cost cutting there IMO.

I assume the dash is the same as the F30 so nothing to add there, although I do agree with the comments that it does look a bit 1 series - I'm really not that keen on the 'its a tablet stuck in a dash' design that they're doing for the nav screen but I guess it could grow on me.

Would I order one? Yes, but until I see pricing I'm not sure if it will be out of my company car range with any decent level of spec... time will tell.

That is a NICE looking car!! Definitely the best pics I have seen thus far!!

Blubaron79 · 07-14-2013, 02:20 PM

This is the Euro-spec version correct? The US one won't have fog lights??

Never mind. Realized its the UK version!

Endless619 · 07-14-2013, 02:23 PM

Looks like current E92 M3 body style, minus the wider stance on the E92 M3.

So its basically a 335i (labeling it a 435i) like the current 2007-2013 E92 non M.

Looks good.

Powaup · 07-14-2013, 02:46 PM

Looks neat, feeling that color

BPMSport · 07-14-2013, 02:49 PM

This looks fantastic!! I'm so excited to get one Euro Delivery for my step-father.

Thank you for sharing the pics!

Neil McRae · 07-14-2013, 02:57 PM

shame about the interior.

Thurman Murch · 07-14-2013, 03:06 PM

it looks good in those pictures but not a fan of the smurfy color... too purplish for me

Would like to see it in pure silver or azurite
