I currently have a 2015 4-Series GC that is fully loaded (i.e. all options other than the smoker's package and dual phone connection).
I have very much enjoyed the car whose lease is up...I went to BMW over the weekend and drove both the 440 GC and the 540i (and, did I mention, I also go to drive the i8
)...I would appreciate some assistance in choosing between the two noting the following:
1. As far as the 440 GC is concerned when is it due for a mid-cycle refresh. The dealer told me that the 2018 model year is the refresh year but I want to confirm check.
2. Continuing with the 440 GC I see the pros as a) more fun to drive / sportier than the 540i b) less expensive than the 540i and c) better cargo space (i.e. nothing like a hatch). I see the cons as a) older technology than the 540i (i.e. I do like the "touch buttons" in the 540i) b) more of the same (i.e. other than the engine the look and feel is essentially unchanged between the 2015 435 GC and 2018 440 GC).
3. As far as the 540i is concerned its pros and cons relative to the 440 GC
are the opposite of those noted above.
Any and all input and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
