Is the 2020 BMW 228i Gran Coupe a “REAL BMW”?? | Full Review & Tour
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Ah yes, the 2020 228i Gran Coupé! The controversial “not-a-BMW” entry level BMW based on the FWD UKL-2 architecture shared with MINI and the X2 & X1 is here and honestly, the bad press is ridiculous.
Sure the styling is not for everyone but you HAVE to see it in person; the sculpture and 3D effect of the car is much better!
This one I got to check out at bmwofridgefield.com also had the dark grille and rear trim with a sportier bumper.
They also have a deal stating at $307/month for a lease on an entry model with xDrive standard! This tester was around $45k with some decent options.

Looks 10x better in person and the interior quality and materials is second to none.

Have had mine for a week now, traded a Lexus IS 350 F Sport for it and I love the car, it has some features the Lexus had and some it didn’t at the same time the Lexus offered radar guided cruise and ventilated seats. But... but... this car blows it away in driving dynamics, better handling, acceleration, braking and even fuel economy. No regrets.
I just bought a 2021 228i gran couple xdrive and I think it's fantastic. I'm not one for large cars, so for me this is perfect. Nice review! Thank you for not ripping the car apart like other reviewers do.

It’s really no where near as bad as the big media says
I bought this exact car today and since I can’t go to my underground parking right now and stare at it lovingly I’m watching this video I really like this style of your video reviews!
Just got my gateway BMW and now addicted. I love my gran coupe! Thank you for this video.
Great car, I don't see what the complaints are all about. With the M-Sport package it's much more fun than my X3 with the same engine, far more lively handling. And it's better equipped even with the same Premium package. Love it.
I bought my 228i two weeks ago and love it.

I read all the bad press on this car and didn't even consider it. I will admit that from a few angles, there are echoes of previous-gen Kia Forte, and the window line is similar to Chevy Malibu. However, it drives NOTHING like a Kia or Chevy Malibu, and I can guarantee this because I've worked for a dealership that sold Kias, and have driven used Malibus. The interior is laden with tech, and the car has a ton of detailed features. It has the very durable, solid feeling you'd get with any other BMW. Not chintzy, light doors like a Kia. I drove an X2 and X3 before ultimately buying this, as I'd originally set out to get a smaller SUV. But this was my husband's favorite, and this is just much, if not more fun, feels just as good quality, and had the most tech offerings of the choices.

I think all of the bad press is not on the side of people comparing it to a kia or something like that, but that it strays away from what people and journalists depict BMW to be as a “ultimate driving machine” performance brand. Objectively, it’s a very fine well built car.

@@Allcarnews, gotcha. I came from Hondas, so maybe for me, having FWD architecture and transverse mounted motor is no big deal. But I totally get why BMW purists would balk. Our other BMW is a 2020 Z4 M40i, which obviously is a whole other animal driving-wise. But the tech and features in both cars are actually pretty on par with each other, as well as the overall build quality and heft. And my lead foot can get tickets in even the slowest of cars, so the 228i GC has plenty of power for me. 😅
The grill is ok
Did I miss the actual drive?
Is that a Mazda 3 ?

Guess you missed youtubes of this doing 250 km/h on Autobahn, good luck doing that with your Forte, why do you think they hired from Germany for Hyundai N (oh, & also their designers, NOT coincidentally!)?
stop telling ppl you can get a BMW for 4K$ down and 3/4 hundred a month. That is impossible. The ONLY way you can get a BMW for 3/4 hundred a month is with excellent high 7s or an 8 hundred credit score. Unless you putting a heck of lot more than 4grand

That's the manufacturer lease deal... so he isn't wrong. And yes, that is with excellent credit, which you should have already if you are leasing a BMW.
Sorry, I had to move on after twelve minutes. There is no way to watch all 30 minutes of this with my attention span.
