Have had this 2019 420d GC for a few days since the m340 borked itself with a software update.

When I got it I was grumbling to the kids it's a noisey, rattly slow (in comparison) 2.0 diesel, basic interior, not as refined etc etc

I then got told but its a nice blue, lights look cool, the windows go down when you get in and out and have been told that's a nice car by actual grown ups..
It's so easy to forget that to a lot of people something like a 420d gc is amazing and they would love to have one.

It has also reminded me that shape 4 series is a pretty car and it was a 430d 6 years a go that made me buy a bmw.

Yep, non-car people don't get certain things. Years ago I turned up at work in a Jag XKR Coupe. I had three coworkers ask if I got it cheap because the previous owner had not specced a sunroof.

One of the best looking cars BMW have made that. With bigger alloys and black grills....

Depending on the age kids rate it on how noisy the exhaust is…. My current S5 is louder than my M4 so in my kids eyes its quicker!

Think the grandson is the same, so SILs C43 is faster than mine..... reckon my Mum thinks the same, she hates both of them!

A lot of folks now view cars as a necessary evil. More users these days see them as a waste of money and vehicles are getting loaded with 'stuff' we don't really need.

We also have to remember, most vehicles don't really give much driving pleasure, (even if a decent drive) in the conditions many have to drive. Congestion, sitting in traffic flows, or worse, stop and go traffic.

To many, anything that looks a bit 'flashy' is likely to get a thumbs up.
