Hey there! "MDrives" is an amazing channel with incredible content showcasing stunning road trips and car adventures. Your channel is already impressive with great views and subscribers! However, SEO is an essential part of growing any channel, and I noticed your videos could benefit from some optimization tweaks. If you focus on SEO and manage your channel with a professional approach, your reach and engagement will grow organically. To your satisfaction, we can start with one video as a test!
I wish germany had the used car market of the UK. 65K miles, 33.500 GBP is the very cheapest I could find and we build the goddamn things. Right now I am in the market for a 235I. An 80k Miles model costs 21000 GBP. Again, we build the goddamn cars. They are a domestic product.
That what additional taxes do I guess. It’s crazy that they cost a lot more where they are made. I hope you’ll find one and you will not stop smiling. 🤞🏻
Please don’t tell people to put the cruise control on in the rain that’s a stupid idea 🙈
I’ve done that whole my life. The system deactivates when you hit a puddle etc. I wouldn’t use it in heavy rain but if it’s just a light rain, I can’t see a problem.
I ❤️ LOTUS 🏁
They are amazing.
Well done on the video for this trip!
Thank you 🙏🏻
That was very entertaing,well done.
Thank you! Regards 👋🏻
Hey mate - great video, love watching your stuff! Me and my wife are off for our Honeymoon in April on a roadtrip to LA/Vegas/San Fran/Yosemite - i'm keen to hire an interesting car.... where did you hire the Chevy from?

Awesome video!!! Im a realy big audi fan and owner but, god how would i love to have an m2 like yours on such a trip!! Love it!!
Thanks! Best regards 👋🏻
Another great video Marek. I wanted to know do you use a go pro for your feont facing POV? If so what setting have you got it on? 4k 24fps/60fps?
Hi. Yes. I have GoPro 12 but used all of them since 7 black. 4K 30fps
@MDrives cool think I will use my 12 at 4k 24 fps. Just wish the weather would improve. Did you get my Instagram pm
@@DriveWithAndy24p is definitely more cinematic but in many cases, if you don’t follow cinematic rules of 180 degree shooter speed, it will not look great.
Hej. Mam prośbę. Jeśli możesz, pod filmami z roadtripów zamieszczaj drogi/okolice jakimi jechałeś. Brakuje mi tego zwłaszcza przy Norwegii.
Hej. Zazwyczaj robię wideo na koniec serii w której opisuje trasę i koszta. Ten z Norwegii powinien być na kanale za tydzień w piątek. Pozdrawiam.
Late to this; I did this drive back in Feb 2022 over to Braemar Highland Games Centre to lift the Inver Stone. Did it in my F01 730D on 18" alloys and winter tyres and it was a superb drive and I wasn't slow 😉 I'll soon be repeating it in my current E81 130i once I've had the full suspension overhauled and the Bilstein B14s fitted
It will definitely be more fun this time! 😃
Just found your videos and enjoying them. What is the overall cost of this particular road trip? Hopefully doing this type of journey for 2026.
Thanks. Definitely worth doing. I’m doing another one similar to this one this year too. I think all in based on sharing room and cost of rooms with my mate it was £1600
I’ve had mine for 2 months now; I traded my G87 M2. Really happy with it, a great daily. Won’t hurry back to an ICE unless it’s a classic. EV experience is brilliant.
That’s a big change. Was M2 disappointing or just didn’t suit your needs? Agree, as a daily, fantastic car. My family loved it.
@ M2 was amazing but it was a manual and I live in Sydney, so probably the wrong car choice for my needs as a daily. 👍
Great video, I need to get back out to do more POV drives on my channel. I live near the places like Glossop, chinley and winners pass. I could ever keep up with your car but be cool to film and go for a collaboration drive one day
Thanks. Good idea. You would be surprised about keeping up. The roads overs there are so twisty in places, I bet your light car will feel even more at home on them.
Hit me on insta.

Hej. Mam nadzieję że spodobała ci się cała seria. Pozdrawiam
Are the stock side mirror on the og m2 similar to f30?
Not sure about that.
13:33 sorry, use the old road. It's super, even with any sports car. Drove this road +10 times and it still the best, especially when you know the history of it. When in Andermatt, stop at the Chedi hotel and go in for a coffee and enjoy this most beautiful hotel.
I drove it once and I wouldn’t do it again. It’s a nightmare in a car with hard suspension. It’s pictured but not a road for m2
@@MDrives mmmmm Done it most of the the times in my M2.
@ are you talking about the cobblestone road?
@@MDrives Yep, the Tremola. It's perfect.
@TheOneLin3 I’ve done it in my M135i. It’s in my early videos. I’ve done it in 1st and 2nd gear. I think I’ve got too much mechanical sympathy to my car to take it on it.
So strange, my M2 LCI, bought new, daily driver, now 150K km, the only problems I had was charge pipe (replaced it with aluminium one), rear lights problem and 1 time a rubber hose from the coolant came loose. Thats it. Also rattle noice in my mperformance exhaust.
That’s useful info. Good to see they can hold well at those sort of mileage. Maybe mine was abused more by the previous owners. It’s always nice to have car from new. Regards 👋
Oooh that N55 motor of the M2 sounds glorious 😢❤❤❤
Agree. Regards 👋🏻
What will happen if I don't fix it?
It will get worst over time and might lead to more serious problems
@@MDrives I have an automatic M2. When it gets to "neutral" - disengages the differential, or whenever I'm in slow traffic I hear thump noises from the back. Like something is loose in the diff. I went to the BMW headquarters in Berlin..the initial tech told me sure I can hear it there is definitely something wrong with it. Then they told me some actual professional had a look at it and said it's normal for an M car. Mind that my car is still under warranty. THey said they won't repair it as there is nothing wrong with it. What should i do?
This road trip through the Alps looks absolutely breathtaking! The combination of stunning landscapes and adrenaline-pumping roads is incredible. 🌄🚗 Which mountain pass did you find the most challenging or memorable to drive?
Challenging, Gavia in Italy. Most memorable must be Stelvio.
Brexshit benefits, before farage's racist coup none of that was necessary
It definitely stirred things up 😔
@MDrives it destroyed a lot of things, it will end up destroying Britain itself

i bought a new valve motor. In the original position, you it does not align with the exhaust flap side. After plugging it in, I cannot even get it to rotate while pushing the drive mode buttons. It appears the dealer has to do it in service mode or you have to use bootmod to force it. is this so? is it unsafe to use a screwdriver to force it to rotate?
I guess forcing it might potentially damage it although, it worked for me. Bimmerlink can move the flap. Cheaper solution than a dealer I guess but it gives you options of auto, on or off. You could press it while holding it in place for it to jump into place.
Rain x is a disgrace
I have to disagree.
@ we all have our opinions 👍
@ of course. Regards 👋🏻
Your videos are such an inspiration for my future drives. Me and my boys done this trip a couple years ago and it's one of the best trips we've done. We need to do it again.
Thanks! Great to hear that. I hope you go out there again!
@@MDrives You've influenced me. lol! I've just rallied the boys and we've booked a hotel for the end of March in the Lake District with the plan to drive through there and the Pennines/Peaks. I can't frikkin wait! 😆
Brilliant thank you
You’re welcome 👋
I travel through Europe a lot for many years: I never paid a fine from abroad if I get these by mail. Mostly for driving 'a couple of km/hrs too fast, nothing serious'. They only send you one notice, if you ignore it, you'll never hear from it again, because it's too much time, costs and energy for them to follow up their mails for a couply of euro's.
That’s interesting. Personally I wouldn’t want to risk it.
Amazing! Your videos keep getting better! Looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks 🤩 regards 👋🏻
Really enjoyed the series. Thanks for the content. Be interested in the total distance covered, days it took from the UK and rough costs of fuel? Anything like that to help plan my own trip really appreciated. Thanks again
Thank you. Hopefully this video will be out next Friday. If not, then week on Friday.
Rain x is shi*ty product ever i had, the wipers always skidding because of treatment was made by "Oils"
Actually in big comparison tests rainx was one of the best when it comes to wipers skidding. I still use it.
Great! Can’t wait for the next episode.
Thanks. Im working on that video already so should be out soon. Regards
Great video. would you share your route? I'd love to do a similar trip.

Thank you
Do you get a red/blue hue at the base of the bulb when not illuminated? Access to the indicator bulbs from the wheel arch is an insane design by BMW!! But I guess bonnet access tucked into the corner is difficult too like on my car.
A little of it. Yes I agree. The design is a bit odd but I’ve seen worst. Regards. 👋
I drive in socks about time I get the speedcat ogs
They are worth it. Especially if you can get them in a good price.
for manual yes. For auto just use bare feet 😛
I tried that. It doesn’t work when you drive fast in manual.
@MDrives I guess because Im short . .. . 😂
Hehe maybe 😜 regards 👋🏻
I really don't like the design, but I am sure it's a good EV.
It’s a bit weird car. But it’s very comfortable.
If I have money I’ll buy it RN!!! Gimme money bros!!!
Work hard and you’ll get there eventually. Regards 👋🏻
Marek, That is Col D'Izoard. Col De I'Iseran is north of that. At 9:03 you pass the Coppi/Bobet Monument which is definitely Izoard. I have photos from there from Summer 2023 in our Z4's.
On the ring. You are a safe and polite driver. 100 points.
Thanks. Regards 👋
After installation, does it effect the rain sensor or any of the other safety features such as lane departure alert, cruse control, auto braking system or any other safety features on a RAV4 hybrid
It won’t. Why would it?
