I don't think that BMW will run away from RUN FLATS any time soon... I've had them since my '09 E90 and now on my '12 F25 X3, honestly I haven't had any problems... I can say that the only problem is the cost of each tire.
Are you planning on getting a GC???

I'm planning on getting one of the three next summer for a Euro delivery. I have an 08 E93 that I just put on a set on Michelin Pro Pilots. The ride is very smooth and the noise is drastically cut. Just no spare tire But right now, I'm doing my homework on the 4.

My 435i is on the way back from ED. As soon as it arrives will change tires to non-RFT. RFT will be stored for lease return or after new tires are completely bold.

Agreed. Also, they are getting better. On my 2005 E60, I had the Dunlop run-flats they were using at the time. They were loud, rough, and horrible. I looked forward to putting my snow tires on, just to get away from them. On my 2013 F10, the run-flats are really not objectionable.

The 428i M-Sport should have fog / driving lights.

Hi All,

This is my first post on here. Just took home a 2015 435i Sport line in Jet Black, traded in a 2009 335i Coupe with Sport pack that I loved. Wondering if anyone knows where you can buy aftermarket trim pieces for the 4. The side gill vents on this car are in silver and they stand out a bit too much for my liking. Also, curious if you know how it may affect the transaction when I turn in the car at the end of the lease.

Thanks!

And two more letdowns, the air curtain, looks way better and more natural on the F15 than on the 4 sadly.
And the rear lights, is boring, the 3 have better and more agressive rear end/lights imo.
I'm a bit underwhelmed with this, i expected something more, at least make it deserved the more upscaled number, as it is now, it's just to close to the 3, sad!
I could not disagree more - there is significant difference between the 4 series and the 3 in how it looks. People never notice a 3 series coupe where as this is NOT the case with a 4 series. A lot sportier look for sure.

The M badges on the fender are available everywhere except North America.

I am in the States and was forced to order the badges and put them on myself. I also got painted reflectors and painted Bimmerangs as that's the way they deliver in Europe as well, looks a lot cleaner.

Very nice! But it is soooo high! It is xdrive, isn't it? I will never understand why BMW doesn't lower its xdrive model... They seem kind of SUV...

I've got RWD, not XDrive, but I was parked on the side of a crested road, tilted the car a bit not to mention the morning low sun directly shining into the wheel wells.

The front spoiler of the Gran Coupe M-Sport is a mere 5" off the ground, so the car does sit quite low. Photo above taken on a flat surface, I'll shoot some more when the weather improves.

The car looks fabulous but I would still advise to go for H&R springs. The car would sit lower but not too low or look slammed, would handle a bit better and the comfort would be preserved. It was a no brainer for me and I have been very happy with them on my F30.

Cool. So it's only the Americans that feel the discrimination.

Hey guys, new member here! Happy to meet you all. I wanted to make a thread about it but its probably not allowed yet because i'm new. So i wanted to ask about the carbon brakes. I'm about to buy a 428i and i was wondering whether i should get them. I dont intend to take the car for track days or whatever but damn it i kind of want to have them. Are they worth it? Will they somewhat pay for themselves with less maintance and more durability? How's their feel when you brake?

Also, 18 or 19"? I like the look of the 19 ones but i'm worried about ride quality and bumps.
