@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow it’s common that a transverse engine is associated with fwd but that doesn’t determine the drivetrain configuration. it uses a hydraulic control system to distribute torque to the rear wheels which makes it an awd vehicle 🤷🏽♂️
@@TimurGenc - You're trying to be coy by splitting hairs. Transverse engine is a FWD based layout, JUST LIKE HE SAID IN THE REVIEW. The Mini platform this is based on is FWD - they simply added AWD for the BMW variant - again, just like he said in the review. If you disconnect the transfer case it's FWD. And with a longitudinal engine lay out, if you disconnect the transfer case the vehicle is RWD. FWD and RWD dynamics are also different. If you've driven a FWD-based BMW you can certainly tell.
@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow Your point literally doesn’t make no sense. As YOU said if you DISCONNECT the transfer every vehicle becomes a FWD or RWD. Do you call a m3 xdrive RWD just because it has a longitudinal engine. it’s called xdrive and it is AWD and while you certainly notice the front-heavy understeer bias ( i actually drove this car) it is still AWD
Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! X2 or GLA?
Ordered X2
X2
The trunk logo opening latch has been around more than 10 years.. My 2014 - 6 Series Grand coupe had it
Love the car. Soon compare the x2 m35i to the x1 m35i in Brooklyn grey.
The new Mini Countryman JCW is actually the best to drive to me in this configuration. Would love to hear your thoughts Matt.
I have to say this thing is cool and actually sounds good
So, it does come with a HUD. This one looks like a base M35i without the bells and whistles.
Call me bonkers, but.... I want it.
Oh and FYI the wireless charger will not keep up with battery drain if using android auto. So i recommend the cable for long road trips.
good note
We just order one i can't wait🎉
Speakers i believe in Europe are Harmon Karden
The speakers on this one too are Harmon, you can see it in the video.. Don't know why he said Bowers & Wilkins lol
I believe you have my lease car that I'm picking her up in the morning.
Bimmers are bikes, this is a Beamer. Hope I like mine as I’m downsizing from an X3.
When you getting it?
Actually the other way around. A Bimmer is a car.
Thought you had 700 videos on your TH-cam channel. Can you explain why you deleted some of your videos?
Yes, deleted the studio news videos. Only in-person reviews now 👍
How come they told us m35 i doesn't come with from grill lights
Mine came with them.
@@DerLangolier is an m35?

X2
Bring back your English cousin - love to see him do some more reviews!
Uff the design of the car hurt my eyes, and normally I like beamers.
Wait til you see it in real life
@@Konrad-cj8fr it´s maybe better or not?
@@alengreen589 i think it looks really good. Ordered the x2 m35i. Check out for yourself
Nah, I'll keep my 2020 M340iX.
cool car dude
Good choice
More money !
Ever heard of fortnite
Speakers are not bowers… 🤦♂️
He doesn't care.
