Mercedes Benz c class grille is so perfect better then 4 series
Or yanny
But the beamers grill is not that bad
i am a realy big bmw fan but i have to say that this grill is absolutly disgusting. sometimes when i see it i laugh and sometimes i cry but i will never get used to it for sure :D
Mat: ‘She’s definitely hot’
Jo: peace was never an option

Couldn't agree more with your comment: "Being seeing is what driving a coupe is all about!" Lol! I'm a BMW girl so loves the aggressive sporty grill. Bought the 430xdrive, arctic race blue and cognac interior last Nov 2020. Love it!
Mercedes: sophisticated elegance
Audi: Aggression with class
BMW: M E B E A V E R! M E M A A A A A D!
And the Viper you got there is the finest anyway. Dream car that's been discontinued...😢

Mat, you're the best! I love all your videos. Keep doing what you are doing and ignore the criticism, it will always be there. Thank you for your work.
what an informative and entertaining video! brilliant, thx a lot for this!
The front grill on the 4 series is like the eyes of a fly
I liked this just for your profile pic
czcams.com/video/OVD5CZ1vpvQ/video.html .
I actually like the new front grills. But I think BMW should have saved them only for the M versions.
Looks like alfa
@@supersecularboypants 1) it makes sense to have those ginormous grilles on an M car (more air, so MO POWA BABY!)
2) they're blacked out on the M cars, so you can't see them, so they look good because you can't see them.
Now we know why Mercedes uses fake exhaust pipes otherwise Mat would put his stick of truth inside and 02:18
😂😂😂
@Sensual Musique Love your playlists on Spotify, by the way 👌🏻

Not the exhaust pipes are fake...
Awesome honest review. Thumbs up 👍
I LOVE the BWM grill!

It someone's transporting their babies in one of these, then that's one cool baby.
I don't think the baby had a choice!
Cool mom!

May still be less cool than the cabriolet front seat babies
I have the BMW F32 and I take my baby to the park in the coupe weekly before covid lol
Just purchased myself a bmw 4 series convertible about a month ago. I loved watching this video with the tension “will I regret my choice at the end of the video,” but your choice made me more delightful about my car and the choice I made. I named it Light Furry btw and I love it to the most. Design-wise, driving-wise, just every aspect is perfect surprisingly for a car girl. Thank you for the amazing review😃😃
Hey Matt nobody needs touchscreens in a moving vehicle. I get it, when the car is parked, it can be neat, but forget changing the station, increasing the volume and so on while driving. Furthermore, in cars they are not as good as iPads and have fun cleaning smudges off the screen all the time. Maybe you could explain why you like touchscreens in cars...and I hope it‘s not because „it looks good“^^
I agree. I really enjoy the spin wheel in my Audi. It’s fast and can also stop it firm on your selection
That will take about 10 hours...😅 sooo true
😔🤣
Nooooooo yeeeeees
You can’t deny that the 4 series grill looks liks an waffle iron..
Tbh I don't mind it but it is absolutely massive
It looks horrendous.
Put the older grill/ bumper on it and it's a 10/10
@@Anonymous_K then you wnt mind me
@@gregpendrey6711 ?
A5 for me, went for edition 1 in Daytona Grey with black optics. Looked at the other 2 but tbh really dont like the merc look and funnily its the back end which iv never liked at all, BMW was a no go as wasnt convinced with grill but other than that its really nice
Yea for me Audi too. I just like the look of it much more than the other two cars both interior and exterior. I've been in a BMW 4 series many times and the look inside just never gets me especially the previous model of the BMW 4. I do like the Mercedes interior, but the infortainment system is just so old school. I dont really care for a "sporty" feel, as long as it looks sporty and comfy for me, its all good :D
A5 coupe (B9.5) in Daytona grey and black optics is a deadly combination. It’s honestly soo aggressive and gorgeous, it turns soo many heads when you drive it.
Awesome! I'm still looking for the new 4 gran coupe
A5 is better as a sportback, C Coupe has perfect proportions it’s a German Muscle car, BMW is Raticate from Pokemon.
The sportback even looks better then the Coupé
@@thesequelssuck_8504 no way. That coupe is the nicest.
@@sheshd that coupe needs to be redesign... shits 5 years old
@@sheshd the back of the Merc looks fat
a5 is indeed better as a sportback, c class looks good as a coupe or sedan imo, 3 series looks 10 times better than 4 series
Ahh , looks like the new grill comes with a 4 series behind it
Brilliant!
I am very curious about a detailed and direct comparison in one Video between the M4 F82 and the new M4. I already messaged you a few weeks ago for this to be very specific about the sharpness in steering and cornering, suspension and so on, of which one of the two is sharper. Would be nice! 👌🏼👌🏼Merry Christmas.. 🎄 🍾 🍾
Thank you matt that was amazing review 👌
The front grill of the m4 looks like Hitler's little mustache
🤣🤣🤣
😹
I was just thinking about that
Exactly ....and always been so hhhhh
Toothbrush
Coupe form: C class for me.
Saloon form: 3 series for me.
Estate form: A4 for me.
I've got my c43 amg coupe last week. It's lovely car, with so amazing sound of amg perfomance exhaust
Virtual form: all 3 for me.
And you still don't have money to buy any one of these
@@Aidanpraid199 congrats buddy ! Have fun :)
@@EE-hk8iu good point eheh
I actually like the new BMW grill design. i don' get the hate.
You don't get the hate because.. you are one of those rare ones who like that ugly grill
@@MrChintu619 if u think so...
@@SimEast i don't really know if I like it or not but it's cool
Me to it’s my top choice car in 2023.
You are rare, just like this 4 generation will be on the streets.
0:14 you gave me a heartattack hahahaha! Great video!
A5 looks so good, I thought it was an S5 when I saw one on the roads at first glance the other day
Outside yes, but inside is pretty sad imo...
Funnily enough, as nice as it is the front profile is far too similar to the smaller Audi’s, and it wouldn’t look imposing in a rear view mirror at all. It’s ok for a model to have a family resemblance but this is too much so and the A5 needs much more front presence than that. Look at 10:18 - is that really an A5 or a boring A1 or 3?
I drive a gen 1 A5 so I'm biased but the other two are a bit too "bling" The merc interior is a bit nice however but that bmw front end is just horrendous, it just looks like an afterthought to fit in with current american fashion.
A5 coup is just ok, idk I like the sportback much more. But the 2018 is the nicer one of the b9 look. It’s also pretty quick
The BMW is surely the best one if it has a 3 series front
Can't argue to that one though
That would be the perfect car
6:35 matt didn't say anything about crushing his head hahahahaha
Love the bmw 4 series get my M440i next week in Brooklyn grey put my RS4 Audi in for this car it’s that good and the grill just suits the car it’s perfect
Really appreciate your work and your team's work. You guys are working even in rainy season
They are from England...its always rainy season
Now :Mercedes gt 4 door vs audi rs7 vs
Bmw M8 Gran coupé
Honestly I love the bmw grill that's looks like more impressive for me and I love it
Same here
You love it because it looks like SPAWN
Same here
Are you guys who like it Chinese? Apparently Chinese people find it appealing. Can't imagine why, maybe they think they can cook stuff on it? 😅
@@johnocallaghan7830 woulda been a good joke if it wasn’t all over the place.... try again
Mat's reviews are the only ones that make laugh at the late hour :):)
6:30 this fitting child seat in the rain part basically conclude my life in 2020
I like to think that carwow has to hire someone who's entire job is just to bring as many suitcases of different various sizes, so there's just a van filled to the brim with blue airplane carry on style luggage.
1:29
Yes, that's what I always thought as well.
No more kidneys, they're lungs now!
😂...
I love the show, and the app too, its actually something as good as they say! :) keep up the good work!
From first glance at the BMW I thought it was alfa romero
Alfa Romeo doesn't make ugly cars like BMW
But Alfa romeos actually look good
the headlights are exactly the one‘s from the giulia 🙃
I thought I was the only one😂
do not disrespect alfa like this
"and being seen.. it's what it's all about" now we see that the Yianni's friendship is taking effect.
We'll know more once Mat's girlfriend starts going down the plastic surgeon route, won't we? Hope not.
@@panaceiasuberes6464 Hahahah good 1
NB; which one is the most likely to breakdown, or give issues? Which is the best quality long term?
i have the bmw 4 series in the same color too! i love it so much even though the grille looks kinda annoying, it’s starting to grow on me
I like BMW and maria 😘
It's also growing on everybody else, rougly every redesign
The new bmw grille is great, i much prefer it to the previous model.
-stevie wonder
@McGill 🤣🤣🤣
I just don’t like how the BMW looks. I can’t get over that since you’ll be watching your car every time you drive it
When you drive any car you see the dash and the road ahead, not the grille...
@@robonaut-nyne2331 I believe you teleport yourself inside the car then?
@@robonaut-nyne2331 lol, you are deceiving urself
Could you review the Audi S5 and Rs5 to find out if it’s worth the extra money? Think it would make an interesting video
Go figure BMW could have knocked it out of the park but they were like nope let's fcuk this front end up
They had to make a statement in the automotive industry...
No one would talk about it if it wasn't for the massive grille I guess... 😅
@Kev27RS why did they "have" to make a statement?
Also I know couple people who drover original 4 series who skipped the upgrade just because of super ugly front. I assume many more did the same
Would love to watch a video(review and finally a drag race) on the new S Class against Audi A8 L and BMW 7 series in their appropriate variants.
Mat on (almost) every 'controversial' BMW design elements.
"It's growing on me..."
it is a BMW after all
@@tanmeygoswami5251 Buyest
I actually meanwhile started to like the looks of the 4 series too, now i like it 🙂, it grew on me.
Of course it grows on people it’s different! It something new
He can't say its ugly everytime he reviews the car. Bmw wouldn't like that 🤣
Totally waitin for the review ❤️❤️
Luv u carwow❤️🔥
The grille is fabulous and a great move by BMW to give their cars more presence.
The 430i with the m sport package is probably the only version of that engine option people will want to order. The looks are indeed striking and really gets a lot of attention from even non car people. One question I have is why they increased the size of the newer Bmw sedans by so much cause that thing didn’t handle any better than the new X3.
4:50 i fucking knew you were gonna show a picture
Brydon Diaz - Gilbert 🤢🤮😷😮😵😵😵😵😤😭😢😩
it physically hurts to look at those kind of pictures
Very good video il agree with you
I love the bmw grill. Just looks so different!
1:34 challange accepted, “it looks like a bloody open waffle iron”
Mmh BMWaffel.
Seriously though it looks horrific. Makes a better case for getting a 3 series instead than the actual 3 series itself
czcams.com/video/FGNcCPr8bsI/video.html
Honestly I love the new design of BMW 4.
ur very different than most of the people...
I always liked that grill, people say it looks like a snout. I do too, but a very aggressive snout, I can just imagine all the air being sucked into there, like it’s devouring the air on the roads.
Me too I love the new look
@@bearieroblox6451 i like the grill but i don’t like the number plate sitting on it like that
If you block off the bottom portion of the grill, it looks extra badass imo
the 4 series looks lovely from the back you cannot deny that
Yeah, and honestly that's how most people will see it :)
It also looks new unlinke audi who kinda did the same a5 again and again and again
The true butterface
I'd choose Audi. Considering all the specifications shown in the video.
Me too but the Sportback though for me
@@l9ino170 yes definitely sportback. Quattro
Yes audi is the best looking for me cause is new the merc and the BMW are tight the merc is good but is old lookin already is like from 2015 bro the Beemer is good but yeah not for me even tho is good I still choose the audi cause I own one heheh
@@jacksonhuang2009 definitely choose audi, had a 2015 A6 2.0 Quattro. Now I have an A5 b9 sportback. 🤤
@@calijs9420 nice I have a 2013 a4 1.8 tfsi fwd
You got me for a second with the "face off" joke ngl 😂
Can you post a video of the 2022 BMW 430i gran coupe?
Let's agree on one thing that matt is the only car journalist that can entertain us so much with just A car…his car reviews are the most amusing ones currently on youtube 🙂😌

0:14 Having a cup of coffee and guess what now my screens all coffee
I have to admit the new 4 series is growing on me... I hated it when it came out, but then I saw one with really nice spec... it was dark blue with blacked out grill and it looked great. Definitely looks better in person. Still hate the look when the kidneys are chrome tho
LOVE that grill.. retro back to the origins of BMW with the larger kidney grill... makes it look aggressive and badass....
Matt please... do a comparison and drag race of these coupè cars.... 1. Toyota supra 2. Jaguar F- type 3. Ford mustang 4. Porsche 911 and 5. Lexus LC 500h
I cannot stop watching this channel.
Haven’t watched the video yet, but I already know the Bmw is gonna win
True.... 😎😎
It is not a good looking car from the front.
@@dragospahontu Yep
@@Mvrk63 i think the Audi is the best compromise between these three.
@@dragospahontu if we include the exterior in the evaluation then i would agree, if its just objectively about tech and performance the bmw would win.
I love love love the grill of the BMW. It actually made me buy it, because it is incredibly bold and different. I do think the color and the way you build up the car (M-sport, black trims, etc) is quite important to make it work. But that was the same for the previous 4-series I owned. That coupé was also at is best with M-sport pack, amazing wheels, etc. You can make or break these cars with color and build up.
The 4 series in real life looks fantastic. A great choice.
Yeah hoping for the gran coupe to adopt that front end
The new 4 series is definitely sweet when you see it in person, but I still think the audi beat it in the looks department.
That being said, don't you think the earlier 4 series looked better ? I dare say the last a3 coupe even beats the lot in every area.
@@AbdelhamidZekri91 It is a matter of taste, but after having had both the old 4-series and the new one, the new one definitely beats the old one in both looks and functionality. I loved the old one, but the new one is truly magnificent (especially the way I had it build up). Everywhere I go with the new 4-series I receive compliments and people want to take pictures of it. Something I didn't experience with the old 4-series, even though I was totally head over heels for it. I like Audi as well and especially their electric cars are magnificent, but BMW is my brand.
It's the only reason I bought the A5. I checked the entire country for a new or pre reg previous gen 4 series but as soon as BMW announced this gen, all those were sold out.
Defenitely the BMW 4 series in the colour Arctic Racing Blue / Shadow line version!
I think the BMW looks great! I will chose it over the others any day
The best thing about the BMW is that from the driver's seat, you can't see the hideous front end.
Unless you stop at a junction opposite a glass building and see the reflection......
That grill uff
Can u make a vid on the e coupe comparing please
Your humor is giving some executives splitting headaches 😂😂😂😂
@Carwow thanks alot mat and have a wonderful and joyous holiday too🎄🎄
I'd probably go for the 4 Series but the A5 looks best overall!
It's newer car, is better, will get destroyed by mercedes and audi when they released the new ones, and after that bmw will launch another that will be better and this never ends.
They are very similar, and the brands release very closed spec/quality, just differ the time that the car was launched
1:52 I can only imagine your girlfriend's reaction to this 😂
Lolol
The empty place next to the volume wheel is for the cabrio version’s controls
Hi Mat - We are eagerly waiting for your extensive review on the new BMW 5 series followed by a comparison review between A6 and The 5.
Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work :-)
In the intro Mat: You wish the The BMW would take "it's face off"
Me : 😂😂😂😂😂
Me🤨
Good comparison... as an avid BMW fan(boi) I approve Mat 👍🏻
That BMW's Grille Like a Waffle Iron 😂😂 to 0:13
The 4 series grille looks like the car is wearing a face mask
@@regularperson9801 you liked the new grill? When you must wear a blindfold.
Thanks for the hole picture, I also can't look at that so had to close my eyes haha
Extremely entertaining and informative review as usual. The review of boot space and passengers legroom in the back are somewhat irrelevant ı thought because buying a coupe presumes you dont give shit about either. A coupe is for occasional guests and you also wont be moving house or emigrating abroad with your car. Important points are the driving and cockpit layout and of course BMW have nailed it. PS lady Gaga is not only excitingly attractive she is also very beautiful as well. I get excited looking at her eyes.
BMW grill looks more like a butterfly! And I love it! ❤
That beamer is growing on me, Matt said it will with the fact it isnt beautiful but when theres a long shot of all 3 cars my eyes are drawn to the 4 series. Also if its the best to drive with the best interior then awesome, also inside is the one place where you wont have to stare at the grille.
The front grill on the 4 series is the sape of the kidneys i should sold to buy one.
8:45 you don’t need to get an A4. There’s the A5 sportback which is a 5 door hatchback, similar to the A7. Idk how you could miss the tbh...
I like the 4 series grill….looks🔥
The grille looks like kidneys. Kidneys after you’ve drank 50 pints of alcohol, causing them to inflame and fail

Grills on that bimmer remind me if bever teeth lol
I am not sure about the look of the 4-series

It looks horible
They were trying to make it look like a smaller eight series
Well that might because you're a Mercedes fanboy
Me or him

Mat: says exactly what I predicted
Mat always stacks the BMW's speedometer 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
Someone said the BMWs grille would grow on you with time
It hasn't
Nope, still hideous. I'll check again in 10 years.
Gotta wait a long time for that. Remember the 6 series in 2003. Plenty of people found thaz car ugly as hell cuz of the back. Now it's the opposite
@@emjay1249 oh, no. It's just as ugly today
@@mircea5013 didn't expect everyone to like it. But people changed their opinion
Genital warts can grow on you as well, doesnt mean you have to like them!
After a long time I'm seeing a group test from u plz make one Aston DBX vs Bentley Bentayga vs Lamborghini Urus vs RR Cullinan
@Carwow wow to b Frank I didnt understand anything :D plz just do a group test fake man
