Chris Harris 435i Video Review
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Here was his written review: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=866837 Moderator note: What Chris Harris seems to have forgotten to tell you guys... is the reason why BMW said not to drift their fleet of test cars is bc we drove these very SAME cars from the airport to the hotel and to the track(the next day). AND we would need to drive the very same cars back to the airport later in the day. BMW did not want us to burn up the tires. Also... BMW said it was ok to drift on the last two(low speed) turns leading onto the front straight. THAT is what most of us did do(me included). And by the looks of it that is what Chris did too. - Dackelone |

no drifting ?? right.... No drifting
" this car has more performance than most people buying this car will ever need ... " ... and yet it has a lot more room for improvements and even more performance enhancement ahead...

I was never a fan of Ferrari to begin with, but my opinion of Ferrari just sunk after I read that. Such a bullshit company.

Because a lot of mediocre "car review" magazine folk gather of these events, most of who don't know the 1st thing about driving a car on the edge.

Fair, but BMW should've realized Chris Harris is no ordinary reviewer. He's more than capable of handling high performance cars.

It wouldn't be "politically correct" to tell some journalists in the room to not drift and to some other ones to drift. This is a group event. Did it strike you odd that 7 other reviews of this car came at the same time and they all were driving a silver car with a red interior.

I think it captured the essence of this car perfectly. Bottom line is that the 3 (4) series is getting more refined and faster, which also equates to a nice but boring car.
