@@BeanyB0b Its a little bit of fake sound, not all of it is fake though, my dad owns this car and I did a test outside and I can tell you its insanely loud from the outside even with the OPF filters
Love the car, I hope to own this car in the future and I would do a complete build for 800+ hp with an amazing wrap. I’m truly excited and also your videos are amazing.
@@Mustafakhan-qg6nv exactly only good thing about it was it’s engine and even then it’s not great it judt sounds good pretty good performance. It has a horrible smg gearbox I think it’s called horrible technology and an okay interior🤷♂️
When I had a bmw it’s “happy spot” was 80 and it was just comfortable and sipped gas and when you look down at the Speedometer it’s like oh! I’m going 80
It’s funny how accurate that is. I’ve got a 14’ Mazda 3 and an 06’ 330xi. The Mazda’s fuel economy drops hard after about 65-70 MPH. The 330xi at 80 feels like it’s ready to pounce. Even spinning at almost 3k rpms at 80 in the 330xi (manual), I still can easily get 30 mpg. Both great cars, but the hum of the I6 and the steering in the 330xi always makes me think about it when I’m in the Mazda.
@TheTropher How does it feel to be hands down the best car reviewer on RU-vid!! I love watching your videos and you do an amazing job on explaining your thoughts on every car!
In person, it is very impressive. It’s a bmw so the driving experience and performance is the selling point. You gotta consider the performance you’re getting. Think of the Nissan GT-R, a $100k+ car with a very mediocre interior. With both cars, you’re getting what you’re paying for, it’s just WHERE your money is going into the car.
@@alh06 Yeah they definitely grow on you. My first bimmer (E90 335i LCI) at first I was like, “Other than the leather and engine, is this even a step up from my 17’ Elantra?”, but the it QUICKLY grew on me and I became obsessed with it. To this day it’s my favorite car I’ve owned (only 3). Now I drive an F22 M235i, same story, every time I drive that car I fall deeper in love and realize why I drive BMWs. I convinced my dad to buy his very first BMW (17’ X5). My dad has owned at least 30 cars (ex. Mk4 Supra back in the 90’s, a couple of Nissan S30s, C5 Vette, the list goes on), at first he wasn’t blown away-he wasn’t disappointed, but I had kinda hyped up bimmers before he bought his. A couple of months later, he says it’s his favorite car he’s owned! That just with an X5 35i, imagine if he had a bimmer sports car!
Just imagine the invoice when that digital cockpit and a couple modules get fried and the car won't start up. These new german cars will get totalled out so easily lmao. The new MK8 golf doesn't even have a button for the climate control, everything is done via touchscreen.
Yeah exactly. Teslas especially are disposable cars thanks to $20K replacement batteries. After 100K miles that car is done. Same with all these other new vehicles. Landfills are gonna be full
Yeah I feel like older BMWs had some purpose even after the 1st owners are done with them since the cars weren’t engulfed in technology. It’s gonna be hard to maintain these even as a second hand car.
@TheTopher.. thanks for the feedback. i was looking at a few cars, maybe u can help. which car is best overall, the least issues (reliability) and will last the longest. looking for a fast, comfortable daily: X3M comp, used M5 comp, M340i xdrive, or the new M3 AWD. Since u had the chance to drive them, any thoughts or experiences? I appreciate it!
11:06 you clicked and the transmission didn’t downshift that’s why BMW should have stayed with the DCT that would never happen. Shame really at least it doesn’t have big grills.
Its logical, there is less weight higher so the center of gravity is lower (more weight in the bottom of the car in relation to the weight in the roof). Bottom/standard roof < bottom/carbon roof
This is an amazing car! I know that the styling of BMWs of old have been relatively conservative but in my opinion, that is what I loved about BMW because they priortized BOTH function and form. However, it seems that BMW has lost its way with the advent of electric vehicles and are struggling to create a new identity for themselves. I don't know why BMW is trying so hard to reinvent themselves, because that classic look is what attracted to many people to the brand in the first place. With that being said, the M440i I think is the best modern interpretation of the new larger grille because its filled out more and looks more visually pleasing as opposed to gapping hole in the M3/M4. This M5 is the pinnacle of BMW design and I am sure many people agree with me.
