I believe that's the plan. At this point I'm convinced that large corp execs view the used car market as a massive source of lost new sales. BEVs are going to do a great job of "fixing" that.
Jack in gorilla form is my favorite. Great as always. I've never been more jealous watching the last vid of Jack and Mark having a blast in the Blackwing.
It should also hint at the bigger expressions of the core problem. Modern technology is praised for its positive potential, meaning its ability to solve problems created by the mindset that brings about modern technology. It's basically a classic con.
You guys do it again by providing a masterclass in cinematography, editing, and providing information. The only thing that comes close is my wife's boyfriend who knows how to work that camera like Cameron, James Cameron
Jack, I remember your first first video and it was Mark explaining how you had a hard time filming a segment. It's crazy to see how much better you've gotten at these review. Thanks for the awesome content, man.
I rode in one of these at the Chicago Auto Show in February. It was ridiculously nice while unnecessarily over the top. One thing I liked the most about it is how much it felt like a manual transmissioned vehicle in B mode off the accelerator. It makes me think that an i4 in B mode would be most excellent.
Be sure to check the capacity of the lift, and the maintenance history on its hydraulics. Now that I look, per BMW, it’s “only” 5917lbs.-so, if it lifts your wife’s boyfriend’s Escalade/Excursion, you should be good.
"Is it disposable?" It's a BMW, they're all disposable. I planned to own my 2012 X1 for ten years. After 6 years and 150k the repair costs became insane. Timing chain guide guides, bearings deep inside the engine, exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, and I'm going to skip over all the other $1,000 visits to the dealer that weren't covered under warranty. The real question with BEV from BMW is did they use the same cost cutting and planned obsolescence thinking that goes into their ICE cars? If so they're all going to be garbage in 5 years.
Yup, they did. Same as Mercedes. The (mostly) higher income customers who buy these new flip them over after a couple of years anyway. IMO If you want to buy-and-hold, get a Lexus. That's what we did for my wife.
BEVs are the Great Equalizer. Cars made 20+ years ago are still everywhere. Not good for business. Just so happens battery electrics are the future, and, whoops!, they can't realistically last past about 8 years due to the battery. Guess that's the new lifespan of a vehicle. Which, to be fair, is about 2 years past the expiration date of most BMWs made since 2005, but for everyone else will mean reducing the lifespan a car is engineered for. And selling replacements at a higher rate. How 'bout that.
@@dontarguewithidiots7459I'm with you on Lexus, we have a 2002 GS430 that refuses to die. As for EV's Toyota won't be ready for 5 years minimum. Tesla might just be the only car maker that breaks the planned obsolescence thinking most companies have today.
Lol, yep, I'm sure Mark wasn't in this one because he was emptying his stomach the entire time off screen every time he looked at it! What a hideous vehicle.
@@florinvid nah, its perfected dated, LOL. In 2 years everyone will have forgotten the BMW and itll have depreciated like crazy. Meanwhile, the 4Runners legacy will continue on.
@@crownless4925 granted, and I take your point. But the only sorta mainstreamish marque whose entire lineup is drivers' cars these days is Porsche, and take their SUVs out of the equation and they're essentially a boutique manufacturer. And remember they're part of the far larger VW group, which has several marques to cover the entire market. BMW is just BMW. I think what BMW is doing with its overall lineup makes sense. Going where the money is with most of their models while still making the M sedans is about the best one could hope for these days from them given their size and market position.
i got to drive that vehicle. The fact that you who reviews how many cars says its the quietest car youve ever been in and me coming from a buzzy 4 cynlinder 2014 chrysler 200 into something like that was legitmately mind blowing. Its like i was entirely in my own world could only hear my heartbeat in that car
imagine if we built houses the way we built cars. buttons for closing doors, screens to control heat, seating areas and beds. we don't really have that. and we don't even drive out houses
Nothing like buying or leasing the equivalent of a concept car. I'll bet the mechanics will go nuts trying to fix this beast. Be prepared for long periods of time without it while it's in the shop. A little over 300 miles per charge? Nah. If I'm gonna spend that kind of coin, it'll be a Lucid.
It's like product designers from BMW stepped into a *tastefully clapped* 15-year-old Nissan Quest at a car auction, saw the disused and meaningless DVD player haphazardly glued into the headliner and said, "ah yes, the most perfect gimmick, we shall do this but MORE BIGLY"
I can’t get over how the new BMW’s ‘split headlight’ design looks identical to the 2020 Nissan rogue’s split headlight design… Apparently Nissan is at the forefront of European automotive styling.
Fantastic review again Jack, keep up the humour it's really funny 😂. By the way the backend reminds me a lot of the Mitsubishi Evo 10. Definitely can see the Rolls-Royce version having a restyled backend and a real chrome metal front grill.
In ways that impact the driving/riding experience certainly. But in terms of operating efficiency, software/firmware, and design for manufacturability, and supply chain management, Tesla is still many years ahead of all the legacy manufacturers.
People who spend that kind of money wants to look apart, the old 7 series looked better in my opinion but it looked like a bigger version of 5 series.This design definitely stands out

@@citays And in the end Harman Kardon (stylized as harman / kardon) is a division of US-based Harman International Industries, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics. So it's just the Samsung Galaxy Live Car.
I suspect this car is targeted almost exclusively for China. If so, they hit their mark, since this odd aesthetic seems remarkably similar to homegrown Chinese designs.
People complain about the looks and the soullessness of this car, but to me it is one of the best examples of designing to requirements I see in the market right now. If I were in the class of people who have drivers on retainer and was in the market for a car this would definitely be on my list.
General shape language wise, it's actually relatively tasteful. The headlight slits is a common issue with modern cars, but even the front design is handled acceptably. There is nothing about the visual design that outright disgusts me.
I don't like the deisgn. But it certainly doesn't look soulless. I don't understand such arguments. I honestly can't tell the difference between many a car before the 90s. You see one cheap economy car you saw them all.
@@baronvonjo1929 The 'soulless' complaint is more typically directed at the car's driving dynamics, the lack of feedback from the suspension and steering etc. I don't think that's a fair complaint about this car given its purpose, though I do understand it when people aim it at BMW's more driver-focused cars (though I don't necessarily agree there either).
Important point about the 'official' stance that rich customers want to show they are rich, to distinguish themselves. This psychology is at the root of much of our plight. I remember how a goverment, I think it was Ecuador or such, failed because they pissed off the rich elite by making them mingle with regular people, on one level. They were so outraged at having their primary identify sabotaged like that, the offensive experience of not being exquisitly special superhumans, that they sabotaged the government. One does not negotiate with heroin addicts.
Its not that I'm too lazy to close the doors, its that my chauffeur is too wealthy to close them for me.

I'm sure all this tech will be flawless in this car 7-10 years from now.
And even if something breaks, it should be easily replaceable and surely wouldnt cost as much as a budget car.

@@rosgoncharuk2403 I stand corrected.
@Nomen Clature also nubile!
I think Mark was just being considerate. He didn't want to give the test car back with puke stains over the dashboard.
If I had to have a "I'm rich massive sedan," I'd still suffer that exterior over the lunacy of the new S-Class interior.
Not sure I’d want to be under that thing on the lift 🙈
Be sure to check the capacity of the lift, and the maintenance history on its hydraulics.
Now that I look, per BMW, it’s “only” 5917lbs.-so, if it lifts your wife’s boyfriend’s Escalade/Excursion, you should be good.
