@@AnnaOnRoads I agree with you plus if you want style and a beautiful looking car always go with the Italians. If you want, reliability and dependability, always go with Japanese . If you want a crazy amount of technology, always go with the Germans.
Okay, you're on to us. 😁🤣😜😝😍🥰Seriously though, it's true that you're more interesting yourself than some of the vehicles you showcase and review. To me at least, and I doubt I'm alone. 😉
I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary once again! I catch myself giggling in delight at your humor and wit. If I were going to criticize anything, it would be that the music selection and sound effects can be a bit harsh. I hope the best for you and your channel!
Really like that rearview mirror shot at 12:55. Very coquettish and seductive indeed. 👁👁 Now THAT'S why we appreciate you better than many of the cars whenever we tune in. 👱♀🚗🚙 This German Sheila you're piloting can't begin to compare.
First time seeing one of your videos. And I have to say... you have a fan. Another subscriber. Keep the good work. OH nice car by the way. A good choice for family and 80Kms on electric. yeah. Very nice indeed. Best regards from Portugal
Hi Anna. I couldn't help noticing that you recorded this video on May 17th, but you've only published it now (August 6th). Did BMW impose some kind of embargo? I'm just being curious. Cheers.
As someone with a Ford Max hybrid with 310k miles on it, I wish BMW sold this vehicle in the US. I love the shape and practicality of the MPV style vechiles. You get the headroom and space of a small SUV without the gad penalty o f a bigger vehicle.
weren't for the absence of actual buttons for climate, seat heating and basic radio functions, this exact car, in this gorgeous colour combo, would be all I need. but I just can't stand resorting to a tablet every time I want to do something simple. oh wow...
Hello, Anna!! Thank you for this pretty interesting presentation. BMW certainly did a good job with this this MPV. But I have a question. *_Does the petrol engine charge the car's electric motor's battery?_*
As this is a plug-in hybrid, most charging happens when you plug it into the power. Nevertheless, you do get some charging with regenerative braking. Especially when you stop a lot in traffic but also very much on a descent, especially in the mountains 🙂
@@AnnaOnRoads, I see. Thank you very much. I hope someday they find a way to keep the electric motor battery charged the same way batteries are charged on any petrol engine car. 👍🏼👍🏼
I don't think they will do. It's a family car and it won't sell as good as SUVs so it probably didn't make much commercial sense to produce an M version.
You could stand next to an E- type , a GT40 , a Porsche GT1 or an F40 and none would compare to you Anna This is ok if you like that badge and probably have one already as it will do most things well and be just grand but would it make you look back in a car park , no , unless you’ve a habit of leaving the parking brake off 😂 As always a class review from the classiest girl You have the full package to keep me watching to the end , then repeat ❤
Not exactly the prettiest pig in the pen . BMW used to make quite possibly the finest dials and switchgear in the business . So sad to see what they have become . Always enjoy your reviews Anna .
I’ve never understood that argument , my mother 87 can get in and out of my Honda Accord with comparative ease , but getting her in a Qashqai was to say the least undignified.
@@richardhowlett9424 Richard, best cars to get in and out are crossovers. SUVs often sit too high so it is an illusion that they are the comfiest (not to mention the firmer suspension). Saloons are often too low. I can confirm this car would be far easier vs the Accord.
@@richardhowlett9424 My grandpa could still get on the the passenger seat of his 2005 Volvo S60 with 98 years. But it depends how fit they are. And how you can assist them (wheelchair, rollator). He always said, it is easy for him to "fall" on the seat of a lower car but harder to get out.
1:38 "Like a woman with no boobs and no silhouette but a big booty" In Au we have a saying. 'Nice ass but shame about the face' I give you the BMW 2 Series ACTIVE TOURER
Nice one Anna! As we have come to expect the production and editing values are great high standard. For me I thing the 2 series is OK but not great. My view so far given that I've not driven it. The good: it's a BMW so has that certain perceived quality and luxury associated with the badge. It should be nailed together well. In theory it should hold its value better than some others. The not so good: I'm not a fan of performing basic everyday tasks via a touch screen, yes they are getting better but still a long way off physical buttons. The look of the front, sorry BMW I still think you maybe went backwards with those huge nostrils. All that said I would not rule this car out completely but there are many other options that I would test drive ahead of the 2 series. SUV v MPV? At the moment with my health it would have to be an SUV but if things improve that could be a harder question to answer. Many thanks for sharing.
They engine/ phev range and performance is great but not the look of the car. I dont know why this phev electric range isn't in the bmw suv and saloon? The merc a250e and c class phev have the range
Not very Anna. Not very Anna at all. Been behind only one. And loved it. For its design for an MPV. Once googled it as didn’t know was a 2 active tourer. Promptly forgot all about it. Styling wise. A lovely MPV. I’ve zero need want wish desire. But. It’s pretty for it’s market sector.
Fantastic review Anna. When I read someone comment saying about boobs I was way what, What did I miss!!!! Very funny how you used the boobs and butt analogy to describe the BMW. But you might had answered you own question about men not doing or responding to your commands/ questions as they to busy admiring your looks and didn't take in your commands. You know us men can only do one thing at a time. 🤣😉. Now about the 2 series Active Tourer. I must admit I was going into this video think I'm not going to like this MPV but you convinced me other wise. It's not a bad looking car. The interior looks great especially the contrasting white and black and classy. They made a lot of room in a compact MPV. Naughty Naughty BMW i8 system!!!, If it didn't understand you then it definitely won't understand me. But I think the winner about this car is the performance and MPG but to do 50 real world miles on electric and 2 hours change on a wall socket is amazing. I could do most of my day journey work and back on electric and change each night. But I got to say it's still not my cup of tea but obviously there's a big market out there for the 2 series Active Tourer as BMW wouldn't make them if there wasn't. For me if I was going for a 2 series I would go for the Coupé or the Gran Coupé that you reviewed the other year but it would be a dream to have a M2. So I guess I'm not the target market for the Active Tourer. Brilliant video Anna. Well, all the best Anna. :-)
Looks like an X1, same interior as an X1, £5000 cheaper than an X1 and , depending on choice, the lower models in the range are under the £40,000 annual tax band in the UK.
Oh God those voice commands, would drive me to distraction. The old iDrive system was superb. Why the hell did they change it? It's like replacing abs brakes with drum brakes and saying "this is the way forward". Silly.
0:16 That intro 😂😂😂😂 I'm not sure guys come to TH-cam for boobs, they probably go to Tube Galore for boobs. I'm very much here for your positive vibes and car reviews
@@AnnaOnRoads Yea I know, I love your constant witty pleasantries where you link some randomness to a point you're making about a car. You're forever amusing in a clever way. 💞
Have you noticed that beauty pageants have women with all the female attributes. However once they talk that really shows the depth of personality and that matters. I often watch and listen to your videos and not notice there is a car in them as well.
I'm afraid that, like all the current BMW's, it's ugly. The grille is HIDEOUS. Every time I think BMW's can't get any uglier, they manage to surpass themselves. It's a shame, because I think this is a really good car and better value than many an SUV.
Sorry, not a fan, looks remarkably like a Chinese out of proportion knock off. Only advantage I can think of is: driver and passengers are spared from having to look at it.
I don't like the colour and the design it seems some how ugly i am not sure why,inside the cabin i do like and performance very good buti would not go for one 😮
The 2 series is ugly, unlike you Anna who decided to get a bit provocative with your audience. Shape, as with attraction to women which is a fair analogy, is what sells. From the time of Bangle at BMW, BMW has never been shy to go on the wild side. But this car is too ugly to own for sure. Thanks for your review.
There is no point in this ugly car. BMW doesn’t need it. One of your best review was the Alpina B5. That is one hell of a machine. This one? Nope. Not worth it. BMW design department has lost its mind and soul.
This car is totally boring and no one buys it with the 326hp engine - because there´s no need and no reason to have so much horsepower in this kind of car. And it is way too expensive! Actually BMW had to take it off the market. I don´t know why the still let in in the portfolio!? But your boob and butt´s comparison was really funny ;-) !!!

Would you consider this MPV over an SUV?
MPV: no
SUV: no
@@totoarriba 🤣 coupé then!
NO!
@@pauldorset2124 haha, which one for you then, Paul?
I’d get an old hatchback with an Italian heart.
Thank you Anna, there is something about that rearview mirror I just love!
Thank you Tony ❤️
It’s so great to have Anna back, but you really can’t tell the difference between a BMW and a Buick small SUV but she’s right it does serve a purpose.
Hi Gus, she does serve a solid purpose. I like cars which do, be it pick up trucks, vans or MPVs!

Super review Anna. I Like the interior, as you said, if it ticks the boxes that you need, it is certainly worth considering.
You definitely keep my interest Anna!
;-) Thank you Greg!
Always fabulous video.
Glad your back ❤❤❤❤😂
I own one of these cars and it’s great and I always gets 65 miles of electric range, but you must drive it sensibly
Very true! Also weather does play a part :-)
Not my cup of tea but top marks for another great review.
As someone with a Ford Max hybrid with 310k miles on it, I wish BMW sold this vehicle in the US. I love the shape and practicality of the MPV style vechiles. You get the headroom and space of a small SUV without the gad penalty o f a bigger vehicle.
Never mind i-drive. I understand you👍🏾
Lovely review from the must classy lady
Stunning ❤. The car....not so much🤷♂️🤣
Did your model have rear seats that slide back?? I’ve seen some that do, not sure if it’s standard or option
I think yes. Mine, purchased on June 2023 has it, and I have to say that’s a real plus 😊

I would go for 3er series touring or even a new 5er series touring. But as Anna said, it is a different situation with kids and / or elderly parents.
Hi Toto, yes, absolutely, the 3 or 5 Series both a lot more sleek and stylish, but much less comfortable for someone older!
