I am getting used driving it at the moment, i havent needed to do much over 4k revs for years.....so i need to used being able to drop gears and revs. I did the paddle hold to drop multiple gears. What a sound? breaking in a bit at the moment, so cant bring myself to redline....but up at those revs this must be a ridiculouly fast car. In fact i cant imagine what M3/M4 feels like.

I used to be an engineer at Bentley and have been fortune enough to drive them alot for testing. but being smaller cars and nimble is such a different feel.

4 Series does feel a different car, mine was a 63 plate touring, maybe some of that is 45000 miles

Need to get more driving now, only had chance to do 50 mile so far.


The photographer in the background is my dad....not some random onlooker

The car looks amazing, i think next time i might be getting a 4 series

Yeh, I think I pretty much got as good a deal as you can and kept it local... also considering I had a trade in aswell which had some defecit to take up.

I thinks its a great all rounder, coupe looks with hatchback/family practicality.
Although you do pay for it...

Great car, I got a 430D in the CB a couple of months back and still love it. CB is such a great colour, sun was out yesterday and it totally changes the look. It is a bummer to keep clean, so if you're fussy it might drive you a bit mad overtime there's prolonged rain. I'm not as fussy as most so it doesn't bother me too much.



Love to have a blast in the 440i, I miss the petrol engine at times. That could well be my next ride.

I'm really happy with the colour...I'm not too fussy, nice to have it dirty sometimes...so that I appreciate how good it looks when I give a good clean lol.

I'm surprised there aren't more of this colour, most I see are estoril blue, white or grey.

That to me is certainly not a UK 340ii. It's not like mine anyway.

Closer look any body on theses forums can tell the difference.
I'm sure your delighted with it though.

No need to explain as you probably know any way
