is the m440i worth it over the m4?

Question

Accepted Answer

Short answer: **Yes, the M440i is absolutely worth it over the M4** for most buyers.

Here's the breakdown from our Classic.com market data:

**The Money**
- **M440i xDrive**: ~$47K average used price
- **M4**: ~$63K average (base) or ~$82K (Competition)
- You're saving **$15,000–$35,000** going with the M440i

**The Performance**
- M440i: 382 hp, 0-60 in ~4.6 seconds
- M4: 473 hp (base) or 503 hp (Comp), 0-60 in ~4.1 or ~3.5 seconds
- Real-world gap? The M440i is *plenty* quick — the M4 only pulls ahead when you're really pushing it

**The Practical Stuff**
- **M440i wins**: Standard AWD (xDrive), better fuel economy, cheaper insurance, lower maintenance costs (B58 engine is famously reliable)
- **M4 wins**: Better resale value (holds ~84% vs 76% for M440i), available manual transmission, track-focused suspension

**Who should get what?**
- **M440i** = Daily driver who wants fast, comfortable, and reasonably affordable
- **M4** = Track junkie or someone who *must* have the ultimate version

The M440i delivers about 80% of the M4's performance at 65% of the price — that's a solid value play in my book.
