New 440i xDrive

Brought her home during a crazy snowstorm in Toronto. Glad I had the dealer swap on the winter shoes before it left the showroom!

Thanks all. Turned in my S6 and loving the 440i as its replacement. A total blast to drive.

My MY17 440iGC has the same interior (stunning is a good description). I chose Glacier Silver exterior.

Awesome combo (wheels included)!

Congrats on the new car!

And yeah, good thinking on the winter tires. They make a hell of a lot of difference.

looks awesome congrats.

This is a stupid question- is the difference between the 440 and the 340 just the rear of the car? Nothing else mechanically?

The whole body shape is different on a Gran Coupe to the 3 Series Sedan, it's lower, wider and longer.

Think 440 coupe with 4 doors

Thank you!

My understanding is that size-wise, the 440 GC and 340 are identical, apart from minor variations. For example, there is less rear headroom in the GC because of the hatch. Someone in this forum posted specs of each side by side.

The 4 series GC and 3 series Sedan are not identical in size, 3 series Sedan is top set of figures, 4 series GC is the lower set.
