Enjoyable video, brotha. This is slowly turning into a car review channel. I dig it. Regarding the car, I'm not a fan of turbo-engines. Even though they pump out plenty of horsepower, the way they deliver them is not as comfortable and enjoyable as big displacement engines do. I'm sure BMW pulls all kinds of clever tricks with the electrical motor and the exotic gearbox to counter that, but I'd go for the straight-6 if I had the choice. Also, F touchscreens in cars. Hate them with a passion. One of the worst automotive trends of all time. Mazda is the first car manufacturer to move away from them. I hope the rest of the industry will follow. Regarding the not-so-great visibility out of the back windows, all modern cars suffer from this because of the high belt-line. This is because of pedestrian safety regulations that came about in the mid-2000s that caused hoods to be much higher. There's no way to design around that without raising the belt-line. Compare this model to the late 90s/early 2000s E46 and look at the windows to see what I mean. The legendary, gorgeous E24 and E30 paint an even clearer picture. I'm sure the car drives great. I've never been in a Beemer that didn't have perfect driving position and steering.
You're fighting a losing battle if you don't embrace the turbo. Haha Unless you're going wild on the weekends, there is no reason to have a less efficient larger engine than this. And I do not hate touch screens, I just don't think BMW has the smartest infotainment. I like Porsche's and Land Rover's new one but BMW seems to be overcomplicating things.
@@KyleMeyr oh you’re 100% right about efficiency, but I just love that confident power surge that comes from the low rpms that only a big engine can deliver. Some of my favorite engines are the large, slow-running, relatively low-horsepower V8s. They have that solid, old-school luxury feeling to them.
Ohhhh dang. Have I devolved into a Beemer Boi?
Let's find out in the next video
Oooo.
(P.S. 9:54 Quiet and comfortable, seems fitting for a post-apocalyptic world. If only Joel & Ellie could take her for a spin.)
Nice! Getting the Top Gear vibe :)
They'll call me back... one day. I just know it.

Not sure the best car is this car, but I have an M340i X-drive Touring and it's pretty perfect
Love this!
Ahhh Very much appreciated my dude!
I own this car and I am so happy with it. The perfect daily driver!
