Which one needs a brake controller? As the third row seats shifts back as it reclines, does the seating get any more comfortable? How much more space is added with the seat shift?
Shift knob, not gear lever 😊 Beautiful car!
sorry but why you call it coop? I had to say his...
Some angel eyes, m-package, chrome delete and its perfect
The Armada has an impressive engine. I have 138,000 miles no problems still strong engine. Tahoe much more expensive go with the Armada much better choice.
The Volvo 1800 used in the Saint was Sir Roger Moore’s own car.
I LIKED IT.. I WISHD ID HAD 2 FIAT 500S 1967 RED. 1969 WHITE
Tahoe has a ridiculous price and is known to have a poor build quality. Neither one is perfect but the Armada's price makes it a no brainer.
Respectfully the bmw v8 engine’s are notoriously problematic.
M60 + M62/M62TU are known to be very reliable, especially the non vanos unit. Some of the best engines BMW ever created.
After selling my E46 M3 MT (best sports car bmw made imho), i bought a e39 540i MT touring/wagon, the raw non vanos engine! after 6 years it's still a blast to drive, one minor point, the brakes upgrading is recommended for sporty drivers, and with an LSD, you're golden! It's a car for life! By the way, if i see the US specs from a performance point, there's still a small difference with EU models, in my case i checked the engine on a dyno after big maintenance, and it produced 295 and 420nm. It's the perfect classic daily driver.
This is the one to have, albeit I preferred the metal dash of the earlier models.
I’d love to see Volvo resurrect this design in an electric version in the price range of the EX300
Very informative review👍👍
Nothing more beautiful. My father has a PV544, my mom had a 244 when I was a kid, I’ve had a 240 and a 740 and now I drive a C40. I love Volvos - and there was never a more beautiful car than the 1800.
95k that’s seriously a joke…. Get the Lexus LX even if you have to grab a Certified Lexus LX it is far and away better then anything GM will ever make ( I’m look’n at ya Escalade)… The Lexus LX is the Cats Meow… Good for 1/2 Million Miles. Who in the Hell wants to tell tell friends they dumped 95k on Chevy or 75k on a Nissan . That would would be embarrassing as hell plus if you have an HOA they should fine you for depreciating the neighborhood with those $hit Buckets
It certainly is a very beautiful car, and without doubt the most beautiful Volvo. It may be the only beautiful Volvo, given that Volvos tent to be, erm, handsome?
I had an Alpina B10 3.3 straight six manual. I remember the beautiful accurate and balanced steering…
Gauges were a leftover from Jensen, they were Smiths gauges made in England, so naturally they were in English
You didn't mention that the electric overdrive could be accessed in either third or forth gear. This would allow for driving in traffic in third gear and using overdrive to simulate forth gear.
Same British made Laycock overdrive as in the MGB.
My mom has a white armada platinum with a peanut butter interior and my dad has a grey Tahoe high country with a mocha interior😊
I owned Nissan, Toyota, Infiniti, and lastly, a GMC. My 2016 GMC Denali was a beautiful truck, suited my just fine for what I needed. The downside of it was the overkill of issues, anywhere from a recall, to lifter failure. I loved the tech in it. It came time to unload my Denali 9/2023, and the best deal I got out of 4 different makes, was a new 2023 Nissan Armada Platinum awd. It came in $30,000 less than anything else, they weren’t selling during this time. I had previously owned a 2015 Infiniti QX80 sensory package at today’s terms, and had zero issues with it. The Nissan platinum falls short of the QX80, top tier trim definitely doesn’t match up. To this date, the Nissan has met every expectation including the love for premium fuel, but it beats dealing with a car manufacturer that can’t do away with a lifter failure that plagued every motor with AFM or DOD. Nissan is an easy choice
Does the owner have that number plate for real?
Both are built to impeccable standards. The Chevrolet built to outlast a pack of 2 minute noodles. The Nissan engineered by an elderly man.
The engine is based on the R20 not the K20
this car should have the lc500 powertrain n/a v8
Nice car! One of my favorite. 530i straight 6 has different steering, they say it's better than what the 540i has but you got less power
John Players and Sons? I don't think so.
V12, V12, V12.
Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4wd over the Toyota . . .
I was with you until you started with that behemoth SUV that, except for badging, exudes zero Mini heritage. It exists only because they sell. But in fact, Mini SUVs are just BMWs in diguise. But your R50 looks brilliant. I can attest to the superb build quality and exhilarating driving characteristics of the early BMW renditions as I proudly own a 2004 R53 S. Nothing is as exciting to drive as my R53. I've owned two MK1 Toyota MR2s, two Honda Civic SIs, a 1998 BMW Z3 M, and a Mitsubishi EVO XIII. For shear driving experience, the Mini tops them all, although the much more expensive EVO comes closest. I am currently in the process of trading my R53 😮💨. But only because a 2013 JCW convertible in BRG crossed my path, and I can't resist it.
Great review - but remember, a lot of us are NOT looking for an EV - we like the sound and rev of the car, the grumble of the engine, etc. etc. Comparing this to the Tesla and/or Lucid Air is a bit unfair as it's comparing apples to oranges. A better comparison would be the Mercedes line of EVs vs said cars......one more thing to note - you will RARELY see this car on the road whilst a 2 minute drive to the local store will result in NUMEROUS Teslas....some of us enjoy the uniqueness. Nevertheless, not being a jerk - greatly appreciate the review and the honesty!

Hi, I too own a 2006 model R50. Was wondering what modifications did you have done to your mini?
Miltek exhaust and headers, aFe cold air intake, screaming demon coil pack, kingsborn cables, NGK spark plugs, Superchips ECU reflash, Bilstein B16 coillovers, Racing Dynamics front and rear upper strut bars, Hawk performance brake pads, Dunlop Direzza 205/45/R16 tires.
@@claveyscorner3220I just got one of these after this video today. 2006 last gen 1. What wheels are those and size? Any issues after the upgrades you listed?
The 1800 used in the The Saint was Roger Moore's personal car.
An outstanding video, many thanks, fantastic job ! A wonderful car.
Fantastic looking motor, timeless !
The American version of a 'sport' is crap. Looks no different than an SE.
Love my 01 530i
I am looking to restore a 2001 540i. I love the car so much, I can't let it go.
One big issue with the v8 e39 was the circulating ball steering box vs rack and pinion in the 6 cylinder e39.
Agree E39 is the Best 5 series but not the 540i especially if you live in UK 528/530i✅👍
I owned a 540 Tourer in UK, sadly sold it.
Purchased a ‘98 540i 6 spd in Oxford green for $4k cad. 180k original kms. I’m super excited!!
The R50 looks so good at 0:51 next to the newer one.
I dont really care so much of its speed as long as it can cruise around the city while people taking glimpse of its nostalgic James Bond's beauty
Test drove an Armada 2019 sl last month and bought it in Burnsville Minnesota. Loved it, only to find out it had too many problems not reported by the dealer nor carfax. I live in Superior Wisconsin so it was a long haul to find it it was not as advertised by the dealership. Happyfully I got my refund back for returning it three days later. And I thought to myself, what would I feel if I got one that was in good condition. I have a 2017 ford explorer xlt and it has too blind spot visibility. The Armada is the best and safest one I need. And the power to tow the camper, 8500 pounds, yes. Still looking for my retirement vehicle, wish me luck not a lot of Armada's for sale in Duluth Minnesota area.
volvo lo mejor mi sueño hecho realidad mis coches desde 180-130 a XC90
The constraint that lotus had was the lack of gearboxes that could handle that lotus could generate from their engines. 0-60 isn’t a good measure of the performance drive it back to back on a twisty road with with peers of its age and it makes them feel stodgy, sloppy and slow….
JPS= John player Special (the brand) JPS in the sponsorship relates to the brand not the parent company.
It wasn’t Lotuses 1st wedge car…. It was the 3rd
