r/M440i

I’m in the market for a used, preferably CPO vehicle. I initially started looking at a Lexus IS 350 F Sport, but after driving a friend’s M440i Coupe, I completely fell in love with the BMW.

I’ve been searching for a used 2025–2026 M440i, but inventory is pretty limited and most of them are somewhat outside my budget. I haven’t had a chance to drive a 430i Coupe yet, but I’m seriously considering a 2025 430i with the M Sport package.

For those who have driven both, do you think I’d enjoy the 430i almost as much as the M440i? How noticeable is the difference in acceleration and overall driving experience in everyday driving?

Also, would the 430i M Sport be a good daily driver? I commute about 30 miles each way, 2–3 days a week, so I’m looking for something fun but still comfortable and practical.

Would love to hear from anyone who has gone from an M440i to a 430i, or has driven both. Is the 430i a good compromise, or will I always wish I had bought the M440i?

I have a G26 and a friend has a G22. I think the rear bumper on the Gran Coupe is horrible and want a coupe one. He thinks the grilles on the G26 look better than G22. Plus the G22 is painted under the grille and it has a grin that just makes everything too busy. G26 is blacked out under the grille.

Would we be wasting our time trying this? Does anyone have info on mounting points? Vehicle widths are the exact same. Has anyone tried this? We wouldn’t keep them that way as then I’d be stuck with a G22 front and him with the G26 rear lol. Just to know so we don’t end up buying them just to see they don’t fit

What’s the consensus on swapping out the badges on a 2026 to the heritage badges? I really like them but not sure if it’s frowned upon since technically the anniversary was 2022.

2021 M440i xDrive. I’ve had Bridgestone Turanza run-flats for 2.5 years and honestly love how the car drives, but my rears are at the wear bars while the fronts have ~50% tread left.

Would you just replace the two rear RFTs, or use this as an opportunity to switch all four to non-run-flats? For those who switched, was the difference in handling/ride actually noticeable?

Does anyone know if the OEM BMW G22 Shadow Line kidney from the 2025+ face lift models perfectly fit on a 2023 model?
Thanks

So this is my first post over here and the issue I’m having with my transmission is that it’s not going into S, sports transmission for some reason it’s going into M1 M2 D1D2 but for some reason it doesn’t go into S mode. My car is a 2024 x drive M440 gran coupe. I’ve basically tried everything but it is still not going into s transmission. Has anyone else faced this issue or do you know anyone who can help me out withThis ? I’ve basically tried everything that I know and it is still not working out for me.Car is barely driven has only 12k kilometers on the dash and i just got it.

So I currently have a 2018 C63 and a 2017 M240. I am thinking of selling the Merc and going the M440 route and would love to hear if anyone here has done this and your opinions. thanks
