I love the Ash Grain trim. I can't wait for my 435GC to arrive!

Picked up almost a month ago

Still doing some cosmetic mods.

At them moment it has the Performance Grills, 35% tint all around, MPPK and the MPE. Just about at 1000 miles and can start to unleash the engine a little bit.

Running stock wheels for now but have Piano Black Forgestar F14's ready to be mounted as soon as spring hits.

Last pic is the e92 335is I traded on it. Miss the amazing power of the 335is. Hoping this car can rival it once I start to open it up after break in.

Nice looking GC.....
I'm in the process of getting my Performance Grilles, that should complete my mods...would like to get the rear deck spoiler but so far no one makes one for the F36....
congrats again on your new GC..

I bought my car from BMW of Mount Laurel too - honestly, best buying experience I've had. I will buy from them again.

Coming from 3er and 5er, I wonder if the 4er GC is much harder to get in and out from giving the frameless doors. Is it a lot worse than the 3er? Question for F36 owners

Just a bit, after all it's the 4 Coupe with 4 doors. But you get used to it. I've had an E46, E90 & X3. All fun cars but the GC it's more fun IMO

Wife has an F30 328i and I do not see much of a difference getting in and out from my F36.

Same here. If anything, the front seats are a little easier to get in and out of because the doors are smaller and if you park in a tight space it's better.

Rear passengers would be getting a compromised experience if they are full-sized adults; my children can't tell the difference and actually feel they have more legroom and shoulder room.

I just had a 335 as a loaner and the big difference is that the GC sits a bit lower, I got used to my GC with in a day or 2... I read on other threads that if you are a tall person 6'+ it gets a bit more difficult to get out... I'm 5'10" and have no issues at all...

Yes, what concerns me is that the 4GC sits a little lower than the typical 3ser and compared to the F10, it is much lower. I'm 5'11" and 220 lbs (before you say anything, I'm on diet now), will that be a problem?

Best thing to do is test drive the car... That's the only way you will find out if this is the car for you...
When I got my GC at the time I took a risk, since it wasn't out yet. The only reference was to sit in a 4 Coupe...

R_C_S_435i_GC - What was your build on the wheel setup? I got the Ferric gray wheels and the tires in the rear aren't as squared up as yours.

So far, the Ferric Grey wheels have been great. They don't show a lot of brake dust. Based on my question above, the rears seem like they are a non-staggered wheel, but with a staggered tire.

It is a square set up. Order sheet says 2PP - Style 400

All tires are the same size.

Anxiously awaiting spring so I can mount my Forgestars

Yea, I have the same setup. I forgot to mention that I used OptiCoat on mine.

R_C_S_435i_GC - The square setup makes sense. Thanks for the info.
