2017 BMW 4 Series Coupe 430i xDrive SULEV 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Euro BMW Engine for the FAT American!
 OK. Bottom line up front. I went from a fire breathing hairy chested mustached slightly off center BMW 135i with it's twin turbo (1 turbo per 3 cans) 6 speed (proper gear box) 2 door sports car that didn't have heated seats or steering wheel or rear view camera because real men don't need heated seats and they really don't care what is behind them because...well odds are you passed it which lasted me to 145k miles....tooooooo a......new to me 2017 BMW 425xi. Now lets compare the two cars! 1) When you turned on your 135i in the morning in your garage your knuckles grew fuzzy and your voice dropped an octave....that engine woke up!  And it woke up every fat American in your little town! When the 425 wakes up.....it's like drinking a cup of DD....it's "coffee"....it's not ESPRESSO! 2) When you sat IN the 135i YOU SAT IN THE 135...I had the cheap fake black leather seats that were THE BEST SEATS I had ever sat in in my entire life! Everyone who ever sat in my car said the same thing..."HOLY HELL" I now sit in the 425 xi with it's heated leather seats.....at 210lb i'm a "skinny" American and well this thing is as wide as a mom jeans wearing woman from Iowa who has a thing for mayo and stuffing and kale is the name of her bff not something you have in a salad. it has "bolsters" as in someone said they were there but well these seats are as flat as Kansas. You can manspread all you want in this car to hold your 140oz bladder buster from DD. 3) Transmission...I went from a 6 speed 3 pedal machine that switched gears like a sniper taking out rolly pollies at your local piglywigly to a 8 speed (really 8!) automatic / sport transmission that really thinks it's connected to an inline 6 with two turbos rather than the 2L 4 caned handbag that sits under the hood. But that said the fit and finish on the new to me 2017 is actually good! the IDrive doesn't wish to take us though the rougher parts of town to pick up copious amounts of narcotics and start bare knuckle fist fights like my old 135 use to do...and having an AWD car is nice.....but what would you know...you just Uber Eat's a bucket of KFC with extra mashed potatoes and coleslaw with extra mayo from down the street! So over all very nice car, very well assembled and in white it actually looks very good during sunrise and sunset...has some very nice lines that just seem to show up and make you smile much like my old 135i did. The 2L turbo is a nice engine and the 8 speed transmission is nice when you drive it and push it past 3k rpm. But here is the deal if you had a 6Cyl BMW before and are thinking of saving the world and going with the 4..........don't....it's just not worth it........I'm not saying i'll sell this car tomorrow and upgrade to the 6....i'll learn how to grow up and be an "adult" and maybe i'll even grow to actually be able to take a sip of DD and not spit it out and scream "YOU CALL THIS COFFEE!" but honestly ........ going from the 135i to the 425xi is like........well......how can I put it......my little 135i with it's OZ racing wheels use to get little kids to point and go "oooooohhhh" while my 425xi with it's stock wheels and it's quiet engine gets cougars to look over and go "oh my!" now you may be into cougars.......and you may also like to drink DD and stuff your face with a pumpkin filled twice fried fritter.....and that's ok.....but maybe you should have bought a Chevy? Or just drive it in manual mode!
