Take your pick: full-options 418i driepitter, or a bare 435i?

BMW has the unthinkable done, and his 136 hp driecilindertje in the 4 Series Gran Coupé spooned. What direct question did through me: if you had to choose for a packed 418i (136 hp) or a bare 435i (306 hp), what was it then?
First of all: we do not judge, you must, of course, totally know what motorization you in your BMW choose. Apparently there is a market for a triple engine, with a relatively low specific power in this segment (on the flat Dutch highway with a Vmax of 100 km/h will be very short), and who is BMW than to be there not to satisfy? In addition: with a starting price of 35.822 euro (manual gearbox) or 37.671 euro (automatic transmission) is the new entry-level model while 7,000 euros cheaper than the 420i, that is a serious difference.
But well, you will see a list of options, and what you want, and before you know it you will have your entry-level opgeplust* to a price at which you also the heaviest model you can buy..
A 435i Gran Coupe is from 62.670 euro kneiterkaal in the price list. Who him for this, bring some things that you can actually see in this segment, however, must have his nose pass (good navi, automatic climate control, large rims, and other frills), but gets a 306 hp zespitter to play with and achterbandjes to smoke.
What may be even nice to know: for an additional cost of 0 euros BMW you type road, so no one who finds out that there is a coffee grinder under the hood of your thick-clothed Gran Coupé is…. So what is it? Practical power without any frills, or all toetes and whistles, but also a spaarblokje that in this form really just not in a big bowl if the 4 GC is supposed to be? Choose but!
* The 418i GC is only starting in July is available, and has therefore no place in the configurator. Therefore, we played with the 420i. When we of his base-42k with a few options and packages on the 70.000 euro had lifted, we stopped checking.
