In 2021 when BMW released images of the new front end they were using on the 3 series and 4 series cars this year, car enthusiast were very polarized. Fast forward, it's almost 2022, and we've had some time to sit with the design and decide how it is.

Today we got to take some time with the new 2021 2022 BMW 4 series 430i model and see what the hype is about now that we can get past the front end of the vehicle.

First impressions are just that the car is a bit quirky. BMW has made the new generation 430i to be a very entry level car. There's nothing wrong with an entry level car at all, except at this price point with the model 3 providing so many features including auto-pilot standard, it's hard to see who the 2021 BMW 430i coupe is really aimed at with its cheap materials and un refined driving experience.

Hopefully this gives some insight into what the BMW brand is about and why I don't think buying the recent entry level BMW's make much sense.
