You are very welcome. I enjoy your videos very much. The BMW. I think that this is the first BMW in a long time that actually gets me excited. Not very excited, but there's a certain something about it that gets my attention, where other recent BMW's have been a bit of a yawn; same as, same as. Having said that, BMW surely need something to zing up their corporate face now. They are more common than the Ford Focus and Mondeo on our roads and ten years or more's worth of the same face coming towards us every fourth or fifth car, or so it seems, doesn't raise an eyebrow no matter what the model.
Much better than a 5 Touring (which looks like a hearse with the blacked out rear windows). Great for holidays and long wheelbase gives better rear leg room than the 5 saloon. Panoramic sunroof gives the cabin an airy feeling. Not for company car drivers as it’s too expensive for the company accountants to sign off, and no longer supplied in the UK.
Nice review, always a pleasure. If you could add more views without wide angle and together with other cars I would be easier to get a feeling for the size and design? And I think you should swing the foot under the trunk, not kick. that's how it works on the Panamera at least ;)
Beautifully executed car - with one exception. The hatch opens so high, it would hit the garage door opener rail (or opened garage door above) in most garages. Yes, via an iDrive setting, the opening can be limited, but at a lower setting access is awkward. And if one is out in the world and changes the iDrive setting for a full opening and forgets to change the setting back, wouldn't there be a risk of damage to the lift gate next time in the garage?
The problem being I guess that you need a light and compact tripod for international travel, but that these are more prone to falling over unless weighed down when in use. Which tripod have you bought to answer this compromise? Something carbon fibre with a wide stance? Do you hang some weight, like a lens bag, underneath for stability? There was nothing weighing it down the other day when it fell, that's for sure. LOL.
I'm getting rid of my Benro Aero (legs can slide in, when there is too much weight on it). I bought Manfrotto Befree Live. This one has a fluid head, but for photography you can get a cheaper version with regular ball head. It's a bit heavier, than Benro, but also seems sturdier. Apparently there is also a carbon version, which should be lighter, but more expensive.
Learn how to use a wide angle lens! The distortion you'd created turned this beautiful machine into a pregnant hippo. Same could be said for how it affected your looks. Nice review otherwise with high production values.
A bit better than the old 5series GT but still much uglier than the normal saloon or estate. I don't see the point of this car. Audi on the other hand nailed the A7. That one really does look like a sportier version of the A6. This 6 series GT just looks like a mutated 5 series
You don't see the point of this car yet Audi on the other hand nailed it with the A7? So you get the point of premium hatchbacks just not from the BMW? Makes total sense.

Great review as always!
Beautiful scenery.
Portugal
The cars awesome it has everything
Welcome to Portugal Marek!!!
Thanks. I'm back this weekend for VW T-Roc.
I wish a nice review of the T-Roc, I want to know your opinion. Best Regards.
The parking assistance ❤️👌
Thanks for the info
No problem 👍
It's my favourite BMW now. I think they nailed the design. A worthy contender to the Porsche Panamera. Hope it comes in hybrid.
Lol the Panamera is in a completly different league
Oh my god, are you joking? I’ve got eye-raped while watching this, it’s so horrible looking.
The GT is part of a totally different world! There aren't any competitors in that segment, actually

+Anders Fagerström watch the beginning of my X3 review, it will make sense.

Bob Ashenbrenner bro u can adjust the height.... even I had the same problem
6 things..1. It’s great, 2. It’s great, 3. It’s great, 4. It’s great, 5. It’s great, 6. It’s amazing
What is the maximum ground clearance of this car, Marek?
138 mm + 20 mm with air suspension at speeds of up to 35 km/h.
With the seats folded down it's 61 cu ft (1840 L)
The hatch closing can't be actuated by foot motion
It probably can, but knowing BMW it's an option.
I thought you'll get 1800 litres with folded seats :0
Will be a hybrid version available in future or now?
I wouldn't bet on it. It's a niche model.
When that's the truth it don't speaks for our german engineering. #Dieselgate
Hybrid released. Not for sale in USA or UK.
The kick sensor is not in the middle Marek. You could have stood and kicked like that all day and it wouldn't have opened :)
It is
How is the noise insulation compared to the x3 when driving on highways?
The GT is made in Germany. The X3 is not..
I hope that you have managed to gather the funds that you need for a new camera.
The damaged one is in repair. Meanwhile I got a more sturdy travel tripod.

Marek, you know i'm a bimmer gyu. Sorry the new A7 is way more advance with a bolder design than the 6GT. It's time for BMW to take some risks ...
BMW claims they have no real competitor in this segment :) I guess 6 GC would be a more appropriate competitor for A7.

I broke my main camera on this trip, so it was GoPro or nothing.
