Idk why thomas limits himself to reviewing cars. Man review everything, furniture, appliances, electronics, hotels etc. Review the world

[ClaireYunFarronXIII]

“Can I borrow your hairdryer?”
“Sure. Why?”
“My grille got scratched.”

[bencarpanini]

I drove the iX 40 yesterday. I don't care what it looks like, the car on the road is absolutely amazing, gorgeous ride with assisted driving cruise control doing the work for you. It has definitely removed any last prejudice I might have had about driving full EV.

[aizen]

As usual the best and most detailed review of a new vehicle. Thanks again Autogefuhl team.

[szilagyimiklos]

Thank you Thomas for superior reviews! I've been waiting for this review in particular! Let's go! :)

[thatniceroccor]

While it has cool features i dont feel so sure for the design 🤔

[swisstrader]

I test drove this monster yesterday and I have never felt that kind of acceleration in my adult life! So much fun

[sg]

One of the great Autogefühl videos. Quality is gone quite up. Keep it up

[Austriae]

Perfect start into the day with your review. Thank you for your excellent coverage as well as your good mood and humor!

[aurus]

A nice car and a very good review. Thank you Thomas.

[MariuszCars]

Interesting. Looking forward to test drive. Good job 👍 thanks for video :)

[edimist]

The new BMW exterior design does not work for me. Thank you for the excellent review.

[Tommytumee]

I am missing the words -in Full HD, Full length

[quiller]

Extremely well done review!!! Allready looking forward to your i4 review!!! (hope you get one soon (i ordered one so very curious))

[ronniechristie]

Out of All The Reviews Thomas . You Explain The Best info . And your honest opinion about the vehicle this is what people want to hear🍀👍🙏😋 Ronnie from Toronto 🇨🇦 your The Best 😋

[Rei_n]

Thnaks for consumption and trunk measurements. Two of the important aspects, that are covered by few. Also would appreciate more emphasis on the self driving/assistance system testing, line centering in variety of aspects, including city traffic jams, auto start in assistance mode after full stop in traffic jam etc.

[yobyotYT]

The best review for actual potential buyers. By comparing and contrasting base and optional features, this review assists people like me in the US where BMW has yet to make public options packaging and pricing to pre-order buyers (or anyone else). Also contains details nobody else has shown, like the scratch test.

BTW, Car Wash view has been available at least since iDrive 6; I have it (and use it frequently) in both my my G01 X3 cars.

Thanks for a review that is unlike others and significantly more useful.

[gubber]

Thank you ... that was an excellent review. You did so many things right. But, 1 detail was heads-and-tails above all other BMW iX50 reviews. You actually measured the W x H x D of the rear trunk. I've been looking for someone that measured the width (W) to verify I'll be able to fit golf clubs sideways (L-to-R) in the back. I needed a minimum of 40"-42" to properly fit the clubs. You verified this for me. Dealers in the USA could not answer this question ... Super great information detail.

[Ken_Jones]

I thank you for this video. I enjoyed it, I learned a lot about the BMW iX and about the psychology behind road rage 😆 it was fun to watch.
