# 2017-2020 BMW 440i Coupe The BMW 440i Coupe represents the premium two-door variant of the 4 Series, powered by a silky-smooth turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six producing 320 horsepower. Reviewers consistently praise its refined powertrain, sharp handling dynamics, and upscale cabin quality, though some criticize its numb electric steering and firm ride. The 440i is famous for offering classic BMW driving engagement in a stylish coupe package, though it faced criticism when BMW later replaced this generation with the controversial large-grille G22 model, making these examples more desirable in retrospect. It's well-suited for driving enthusiasts seeking a practical yet sporty daily driver with legitimate back seats and modern technology. The combination of power, luxury, and Germanic build quality appeals to professionals wanting performance without the impracticality of a pure sports car.
The 2017-2020 BMW 440i features the B58 inline-six engine, which is generally reliable but requires premium fuel and synthetic oil changes every 10,000 miles ($150-200). Common issues include water pump failures ($800-1,200) and carbon buildup requiring walnut blasting ($500-800). Insurance runs 15-25% higher than non-luxury competitors. Expect $1,000-1,500 annual maintenance costs.
