mrt Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just acquired a 420 m.sport diesel for myself and a 220 m sport for the better half. The convertible is mine. Keeping the Zed and also my A 150 for commuting. A quick pic of the 4. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bmw+420d+m+sport+vonvertible&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari#imgdii=T-7uV-1frZngfM%3A%3Bgma2JLDKU7LWOM%3A%3Bgma2JLDKU7LWOM%3A&imgrc=gma2JLDKU7LWOM%3A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Not seen one of those before. Looks pretty good from the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrt Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks Gareth Good to hear from you. Bit wider...longer and lower than the three coupe. Pretty much the same as the M4 in looks Turbo gives it 295 ft/ lbtorque so pretty rapid in sport mode + Only downside is the metal folding roof which adds a fair bit of weight over the standard hardtop coupe. Put some more detailed pictures up at the weekend as this one was found on Google from a BMW photo before I bought it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think the 4 series is the best looking beemer at the moment, especially the M4. Love it love it love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The only thing I don't like and I'm being picky is the bonnet shut line at the front. I preferred it when it met the kidney grills, oh well I assume it's a pedestrian safety led design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I really like the M4 , thought about replacing the 370 with one . If I could only have one car the M4 would be strong contender, the 4 series is the best looking car in the range imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I parked next to one the other day, it made the Leaf look sexy, and when that engine started....What a noise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think that is better looking than a leaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put some more detailed pictures up at the weekend as this one was found on Google from a BMW photo before I bought it. Pulled upto a 430d xdrive and it made my 320d E92 look tiny. Also blew my 320d away once the lights turned green. Is it running the N47 or B47 engine? Edited February 16, 2016 by un1eash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrt Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Not sure which engine..s it,s running.would imagine the lesser of the two if you compare with the 430d. Wife's car ( 220d M sport ) will be as rapid with less weight. Nice Chunky shape too. I think the coupe is a bit bland looking...this folding hardtop version is more like it and especially on the 19 inch rims. Anyone tell me whether my Ray's would fit on the 220 as they,re redundant at the moment and shod with brand new MPSS tyres.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on this one...and yes it is probably a safety design.Mind you, the edge of the bonnet could be lethal in a direct front end strike.

Rock_Steady Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Just out of interest, have BMW done away with the straight 6, 3L? I heard they have opted for a four pot twin turbo to replace it. Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) They still do a 6 cylinder but it's now called a 340i. A 330i is a 4 cylinder turbo. It's all to do with the new modular engines they build, the 318i is now a 3 cylinder 1.5l Diesel hasn't changed yet, 330d and 335d still exist as 6 cylinder.

brillomaster Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Anyone tell me whether my Ray's would fit on the 220 as they,re redundant at the moment and shod with brand new MPSS tyres.? fraid not, Nissan wheels will be 5x114.3, bmw wheels are 5x120. and that's before considering offsets and centre bores. you would be able to get adaptors to make them fit, but even then I suspect the tyre sizes will be all wrong!

I've just realised with a thud that BMW no longer sell a naturally aspirated engine! the naturally asipirated straight six is dead Edited February 17, 2016 by brillomaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I had a z4 sDrive 2.0 recently and it had fake engine sound from the speakers behind the dash or something, It use to make me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un1eash Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Sorry to say but your wife's 220d being a 2015 has the newer more powerful twin power turbo B47 engine. 181bhp/380Nm vs 187bhp/400Nm Edited February 19, 2016 by un1eash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
