You missed one important thing of course it’s a bmw it drives really good but there is almost 5-10k of cost cutting with so many features removed and scratchy hard plastic in the entire interior
I’m not a fan of the scratchy plastic and materials is definitely one of the reasons why I like old cars. That said I doubt that really accumulates to 5-10k of cost savings
@@RetroGarageOfficial I don’t know when I saw one in person , no tail pipes on regular model , no comfort access on rear doors , c pillar is full plastic they are not even hiding it . Used to be leatherette there. All buttons and door handles used to be metal now plastic. Foot rest and trunk plates used to be metal now plastic . No reclining rear seats
Also no ambient light in rear doors or door pockets for any door . Dash and door tops used to be leatherette now plastic or fabric 🤮same with airbag cover . Lower dash used to be rubberized material now it plastic. Climate control dials no longer illuminated. No opening sun roof .
@@karthikJ-99ok but you forget and fail to mention the added technologies and other upgrades from prior models. Idk about you but I'd rather have that (which increases their cost) over paying 5k more to have leatherette on a C pillar instead of plastic which I'll forget about in a week. I also don't like the no comfort access on rear but honestly with unlock on approach I never even use it anymore.
The cost cutting is painfully obvious. BMW is going to lose more money through lost customers vs putting in cheap hard plastics. They are destroying the BMW image to satisfy the shareholders. Hope it was worth it to them!
front is worst , loook like a cheap car from alot of points, including no more opening moon roof, that fix glass on the roof is just in the non premium cars
@@Chris-yg3nj it’s the third generation of B58 so it’s the TU2, the second technical update. Technically it’s actually the B58B30M2 as it’s the M version of the second technical update

Is better this one or new glc43?
It's great to see BMW name a car after one of Ireland's greatest roads!
Sorry sir, the M50 is not a motorway it’s actually a car park that surrounds Dublin
Spicey SUV, Saloon, Coupe or Estate? What’s your preference and why?
sounded quite good
It does to be fair
from the side looks like a crossover.. not like a SAV or X3 .. maybe like a new X1 , sad days for the guys that loved baby X5 in the shape of the X3

the rear is a design failure
front is worst , loook like a cheap car from alot of points, including no more opening moon roof, that fix glass on the roof is just in the non premium cars
It’s the TU3 mate.
