Beemer fans are gonna love this one, i love manuals, who else loves manuals?

[ThisMoth]

You know he crosses the speed limit when he blurs the speedometer. :D

[Mrwd]

Now the cramped rear passengers can fight back by tickling the front passenger through the lower seat hole.

[kristians]

BMW and Porsche are the only ones who are keeping manuals alive!

[anthh]

Me: Msrp at $70k? Ok, not bad.
“As specced $90k”
Me: *Wallet puckering intensifies*

[hirzaahmadmutahari]

One of the reason i prefer BMW than Mercedes, they still make manual

[voqzmk]

I love the design of this car, I hated the new front design of BMW, but now it's looking amazing!
It really grew on me

[eXoguti]

I bought a 2005 M3 since I couldn't quite afford this one, and I didn't want to drop to previous gens because if I could ever afford this one, I wanted the generation leap to be substantial where I would like to keep both because they're so different. I'm loving my M3, and I cannot wait to own this one! Based on everything owners/reviewers say, the G80 looks like a standout

[grizzle]

MY GOD! I love the POV you spoiled us with. Great narration, superb POV, good sound and everything else. 3 thumbs up.

[quill]

I absolutely adore the new BMW front end. I think it looks so incredibly tough and beastly; I find it bizarre that people hate it.

[andrewhopkins]

Those roads are so empty and beautiful! What a blessing to live somewhere like that

[kristians]

Say what you want about the grilles, but BMW has the coolest colour options for both the exterior and interior

[billyz]

Honestly, the grill looks okay after seeing that in person.

[CryptoJoeTrading]

that has to be the coolest interior from a factory I've ever come across well done BMW

[wg]

I enjoy this channel and your reviews. You literally don't get all negative about the car you're reviewing and seem to enjoy whatever you are reviewing. I would watch you review a Smart Car and still enjoy it. Thank you!

9:43 Chris thought he was driving the automatic all of a sudden 😂

[gtsam]

the g8x styling has really grown on me over the last months, would 100% take a m3 over an m4.

[dlo]

The seats are awesome I’m just not a fan of the crazy bright color combos.

[rajarafe]

This m4 looks amazing and that’s an understatement. Never been a fan of bimmers but
