2014 BMW 428i - Car and Driver
There’s no denying that it’s easy to be a jerk in this car. This BMW firmly reinforces stereotypes. More than a 3-series sedan. Germans don’t do anything without a plan, and you can imagine the fights in Munich as BMW considered splitting the coupes from the bread-buttering 3-series nameplate, which until recently represented half of BMW’s U. S. sales. What’s done is done, and while we await the even more jarring M4 badge , the 428i arrives with a base price of $41,425, or $3200 more than a base 328i. Included in the 4’s price premium, however, are xenon headlamps and a sunroof, plus a flared... The curb weights for the automatic-equipped coupe and sedan are roughly equal, at around 3500 pounds. Before you squawk, consider that BMW sees this, the 4-series, not as a sports car, but as a luxury coupe. As with all BMWs lately, the interior has its share of bare plastic, but it’s dressed up with hockey sticks of high-gloss black trim. A new thin-spoke sport steering wheel looks as light and lively as it feels. Source: www.caranddriver.com
