My point was that the reviewer was completely off-base in dismissing the 428i Coupe as unworthy of "The Ultimate Driving Machine" moniker simply because it has a 4-cylinder engine—and without even putting the car through its paces on the open road! BMW also happens to make engines that are faster, smoother, and quicker than the N55, but that doesn't make the 435i Coupe any less worthy of the "The Ultimate Driving Machine" tagline.

P.S. Having now driven a 428i Coupe with 6MT for the past month, I can attest that the engine and transmission are pretty darn smooth. And plenty fast!
