335d xDrive and D3 Alpina reviewed head to head (in dutch)

Love At First Drive · 01-06-2014, 06:00 AM

We've picked up the 435i xDrive M sport, what a great car!

Looking forward to the review....

4 Series with jacked up xDrive suspension looks odd, very, very odd.

I would agree. The saloon gets away with it, but a coupe? Just seems all wrong.

I think it will put off A LOT of potential 435d xdrive owners.

Not sure. I think the touring gets away with it in a legacy outback sort of way...

I don't mind the height. It's a great looking car and the straight six sounds very nice, although it could be a little louder. But with the windows open it's good fun! Also made some pictures of an Estoril Blau one for you guys (it's a 420d M Sports, de black one is 'our' 435i xDrive M Sports).

That's odd - on UK configurator, you can't spec xDrive with a 435i, 420i, 420d and 435d.

Gotta say, those 19" wheels look far nicer than the 403M you can spec on the 3 series!

That's strange! Maybe it will be available later?

The black one has 18" by the way (winter tyres).

Of course - didn't notice the bigger tyres initially, oops!
