MOTORS

THE BMW 430i M Sport
WORDS AND IMAGES BY LUKE YATES

THE 430I WAS A RATHER LOVELY SURPRISE FOR ME, AS WE HAD BEEN LOOKING
AT ROAD-TESTING SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT. I LOVE ALL CARS, AND I HAD
BEEN GLEEFULLY ANTICIPATING A BIG CHUNKY 4X4 THIS MONTH. HOWEVER,
WHEN THE 4-SERIES GLIDED INTO THE SPACE OUTSIDE MY HOUSE,
DISAPPOINTMENT WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE FIRST THING I FELT! I'VE NEVER
EXPERIENCED A 4-SERIES BEFORE, AND THE ONE PRESENTED TO ME LOOKED
MAGNIFICENT, SO MY INITIAL FEELINGS WERE EXCITEMENT AND AWE.
