Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. This 2021 BMW 4 Series convertible is one of them. The BMW 4 Series is a rear or all-wheel drive coupe and convertible that competes with the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Convertibles. In this video, my wife, daughter, and test a 2021 BMW M440i Convertible to review its positives and negatives from a family perspective.

“It is family friendly if you’re dedicated to fun” is the best car quote I’ve heard this year! 😂
When your wife tells you that she wants this car it's game over.. 🙂
I've never met Micah, but the fact that his family is so nice & cool makes me think he's a good guy! Your daughter is adorable.

I agree completely. Looks like the are grinders with a planned family #respect
Lolol this one killed me. You're gonna end up with a 4 series convertible aren't you?
Evie, you’re great! I so appreciate your straightforward self-awareness and acceptance.
"The front end demands that you look at it" "It's making a bold statement" "Oftentimes the designs you like the most are the ones that are the most challenging in the beginning" I couldn't agree more! And as much as I had disliked the front end in the beginning, I have already grown to love it. I have never desired a BMW until now. I just have to figure out a way that I could afford one 😖
The 2 best looking things on the outside: The paint and the wheels...The 2 best looking things on the inside: Micah and Evie ;)
I really love these family reviews. Practical, fun, sensible and so so so relatable. Seeing your beautiful family just makes any car a bonus. Keep it up!
The other day I went and test drove this car based on your review. The reverse feature is incredible. Ordered and just awaiting delivery 👌

Micah to Evie: “Are you moved by the…style (MUFFLED LAUGHTER) of the M440i?” Me: I see what you did there. 😂
Great review! The broad perspective that you both give is wonderful.
What a fun review!
Love the family reviews
Love your segments 😄
Great review, I really enjoyed it 😊👍🏼
Great job as usual!
Awesome video as always guys!😸😸
Thanks for this review. Being in the market for this very car, I appreciate your comments about it. My wife likes the artic blue color, so if that's what it takes to get me one, I'm good with it! Some of the features that I really want: adaptive cruise control, built-in dash-cam (why hasn't the insurance industry lobbied to makes these standard in every car?), panoramic top-down view, auto-backup, heated steering wheel, head-up display, neck warmer (i.e. scarf!). As far as the front end goes: my wife's car is a Lexus, so I definitely don't mind big grills! What do all the complainers say about Lexus, I wonder. Thanks again for a nice review!
"Whhheeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!" and..."I want this car!!!" Fun and funny...Love it!
Wow a fun car review? Is this the same channel? Lol, well this was fun and awesome as always and well Micah it looks like you are getting a BMW for Evie.
Love the video
Evie can say she's more practical all she wants, her trance-like expression lets me know she's found her Joy. The only one of these where I've actually wondered, "Is she still listening to Micah!?" LoL
Bought!! Leasing the base 430i with Xdrive and super hyped!

Everyone knows I don't like Micah Muzio crazy style of reviews, but I like his wife's reviews. I had no choice but to subscribe!
That area is beautiful! Getting Crestline/ Lake Arrowhead, CA vibes. So many amazing and scenic roads up there if you're a driving enthusiast. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a 4 series convertible myself, and taking it up to the mountains is the very first thing I want to do!
Evie this car fits you so well!!
Very nice, the green color really stands out.

@@citibear57 Yeah, this would be tough to keep clean where I live as well. No worries as I will never be able to afford one, unless it's a certified pre-owned a few years from now.
Like many, I did not like the new grille design when BWM revealed it. However, I recently saw one out in the wild and it gives the car a great road presence.
Evies comments are so spot on. In a parallel dimension she is flipping bmws to hipsters in raceta
Mine is white with all the options available. Just love it. My last 3000km was at 7.5 li/100.
I like you to play the James Bond role after Daniel Craig
I want this sooooo much. Evie - buy it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥰😘
Saw 3 new M3s today and I have to say...I like the giant grill. It's definitely better in person.
Hi Evie……I love the car!
Just discovered this channel, like the video style cheers from the U.K. 👍🏻 PS biased as this is order for me 🍻🎂👊🏻

Oh well ... i don't know about that Bronco anymore 😂😂
they are so cool 😎
But love this incredible interior very luxurious 😎
So Cool👍🏼
Love it, I just wish they could have made the grill about 25% larger 😂 Edit: the paint is sick tho
nice car, nice video, nice family.
I think it's the best expectation of the 4 series design. I'd need to see it in the metal to make up my mind.
Evie is not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom!👍🏼😜
I bought M 440i tanzanite convertible a month ago , i love it ., it’s far ..far better than Mercedes and Audi
This is for me!
That front grill is brutal. BMW introduced it to appeal to the American market. It'll be interesting to see how badly it affects sales here in Europe.

Looks like Evie is styling driving the BMW440i...there does the Bronco II. Just curious when the Bronco is coming, lot's of press on the vehicle today 6/28.
Hey mountain man 😜 when are you an evie gong in the chopper again ??
In Australia, your looking at double that price. However I will be buying a C8 Corvette Convertible, when it arrives down under.
5:03 This is what I need. Dads know what I'm talking about
I purchased this M440i, but with white exterior and red interior. Been getting very favorable comments. Haven't done launch control yet. Btw, it gets great gas mileage - considering....
Waiting for that helicopter video of the 4th this year. Hopefully you did that again lol
Would you reccomend a thin child seat for a E46 M3 Convertible? I am 6ft 2in and when my kid sits behind me I have to move the seat to an uncomfortable position for her feet to fit. So is there a thinner car seat you can recommend? Fyi i cannot have her sit on the other side because kid #2 sit behind the wife luckly she is 5ft. Also I have a Oxford Green M3 so im loving the color. And we got Nori Green Pearl RX350L. We decided to go Green, maybe I misunderstood the meaning lol.
What is the interior color? Is it oyster or beige?
The HP displayed for the M440i is incorrect. It should state 382 HP instead of 282.
The Gays and I love you Evie!! You are so awesome!
M440i actually has 382 hp. Just ordered mine
I'm going to say "you have to quit showing me all this ideal technology" at the Apple store. XD
You know, I used to hate the front a lot more than I do now. Now it's just, "don't like that very much" where it used to be a pretty visceral hatred for it. The people who said we'd get used to it certainly weren't kidding, huh?
Oh man, plantimg that BMW bug in Evie's mind is gonna get you some day. Lol I did that with my wife for a BMW X6 and she fell in love, but without a care of what her budget could warrant. Lol Still though, they're usually a fun drive, even if the styling for new models is a bit polarizing and the additional features get nickel and dimed.

cancel the bronco! get this! lol
My competitors would be the 911 convertible or the Mercedes GT convertible
Lovely color, but question, how much of the joy is just because of the 30 million miles of headroom? I’ve realized I could have a big grin on my face driving in nice weather top down in a Sebring

Hermes makes pretty pricey scarves lol I have a bmw 2 series convertible that I cannot see myself parting ways with in a while. it is quite literally perfect. On this M440i model I love the neck warmer option and it really seems family friendly. I could definitely make it work. I dont like the front grill and i would never get an M car, i dont need all that performance stuff

I’m not a big fan of this bmw m4 convertible because of the front grill that is bothering me so
Reminds me of the Jaguar xj6
I don’t know why no one try the back seat
Not all 48volt start stop are great the one in my moms ram1500 is so shitty
Doesn’t look too bad as a ‘vert. At the same time, I’m okay with the M3 in a more muted color. The car’s so big though the thumbnail had me thinking you were driving a Bentley gtc. Come to think about it, that might be mountain friendly.

Hey Micah. Thought you would be interested. I saw a 1/32 scale diecast Robinson R44 helicopter at the local hobby shop in O.C. Thought I would let you know.👊🏻🚁
Evie could stalk squirrels in style in this car.
Wow he is cute.

Interesting, did not know that.
Why the Beaver teeth BMW , why ? Such a nice looking vehicle. with an awful snout.
I’m sure the car is a great driver. IMO, the front grill work dominates the rest of car. Personally, I’m not a fan of the larger, no loner kidney shaped grill.
Evie Girl! You only live once! You need a convertible in your life, sweetie!
Evie says she’s a simple gal who likes the cheap stuff, but….😂….wasn’t there another review of a $100k vehicle that Evie liked? “so this is the plan” lol ….There are $500 scarves, they are very nice, but that vent is superior tbh….isn’t “Would Evie Drive it?” like 60% of the channel and not a “little” part of the channel? 🤔❤️
kidney bean grill became fava bean grill due to the fact that Chinese buyers preferred it that way. Money talks!
🐰
She's too nice to be a BMW driver. xD
Cutiest couple ever… yuk 😂
I really like that color Evie should get a 4 series convertible fuck the Ford lol
Really enjoy your family videos. The green and "white" interior is a beautiful combination spoiled by the massively ugly grill.... Reminds me of the ugly women's shoes era; someone forgot to rein in the over-the-top stylists that hate good design. "Let's see how outrageous we can make this and people with too much money will still buy it!" The trunk and back seat seat are a joke, but then again same in Camaros.
The front looks disastrously bad!
Lease one? But after warranty runs out…run away!!

Sure, plenty of Hermes scarves will cost you $500 to $1000.
$72k for that? Wtf...
🐽!!! Also can we get a bratwurst review?
I bet Evie would definitely say yes only because you now have your helicopter and she would like a Beamer. She just has not said anything to you yet. Safe flying my friend.
Nice car but the front is sooo fugly!
Let me preface by declaring I absolutely HATE the look of the giant grill on the new M3 sedan, M4 and 4-series coupe. Therefore, it boggles my mind that I think it actually works for the convertible with the top down and with this paint. I still hate how it looks with the top up, but with the roof down, it looks quite good, like it was an Art Deco styled car from the 1920s-30s but modernized. With the already-audacious nature of a convertible combined with the equally-loud design of the humongous grill, the two combine in perfect harmony, unlike the coupe and sedan where the gigantic grill and the roofed bodystyles clash against each other and end up looking awkward and downright ugly to a lot of people (including me).

Obviously this is an example of a premium level convertible. However, I can't help but see...a direct side profile of this car reminds me of a 2005 Chrysler Sebring...how did that happen?
I wanna see how much her hair is flying in her face. That’s why I watch this video. Ahh she is wearing a beanie. 😢

I love BMW's, I had a E36 cabriolet for 24 years, trust me when I say I am so, so disappointed with that ugly chipmunk tooth butt cheeks of a grill. I'll drive it once BMW returns to less ghastly sized kidney grills
Ive seen a couple of m3 and 4 series on the road recently and I have to say this car is actually MORE HORRENDOUS IN PERSON THAN ON PHOTOS/VIDEOS
That grill is horrid! That would be reason enough not to get it lol
