Review: 2022 BMW M440i Coupe

[Hagerty]

BMW built its brand on the intangible merits of its small cars. For decades, the company's secret sauce was an ability to imbue ordinary, sensible transportation with a dose of something special: a particular livability and dynamic refinement unequaled by the competition. A sort of quiet strength.

It's a good looking car except for the grille. Kinda like a woman I worked with a last summer who looked way better with a mask on. I can't talk though, I look better with a welding hood on lol

Lets review. One of the ugliest grills ever, No stick shift & computer generated engine noise. Hmm, what's not to like?

I thought BMW gave Chris Bangle the boot long ago. The front of that car is simply fugly.

It's a car I would like except for that face and all the other non-BMW things it does. It's fat, it barks with fake noises. It has start/stop tech on it, confusing gauge setup, etc. Other than a nice color I don't know why you would want this car. It's not a car made to the standard of the ultimate driving machine.

I have that start stop crap on my 21’ Countryman. I turn it off.

[HELIDR]

Why, oh why do any of us need fake engine or exhaust notes pushed into the cabin? Prolly because those people never heard the real thing nor will they ever...

[MeanMrMustard]

Well that sure is an Edsel of a nose on that thing.

My first thought was how garish the grille is and that it looks like BMW is borrowing a styling cue from Edsel.

But let me say…. Honker of a nose or not thank GAWD its not another soul sucking “crossover”. Cars are dying in general, just look at Cadillac and Lincoln.. not a car in sight anymore, but at least BMW still offers more actual cars than SUVS. For now anyway.
