I hopefully someday, I would buy this EV car.
Great review Mike!
Amazing video Mike.
This is a car what REALLY needed a full in-depth review Mike. I didn't like this car when it was first introduced, and there's still no way I could afford one, but I've warmed to it a bit since watching this video. So many cool toys in it, and ones that aren't the mechanical kind that would be prone to failure in a European car.
Very informative thank you 🙏
Very nicely done! I was REALLY surprised by the lack of padding on the top interior of the trunk! Super-surprising on this expensive car. Can't say I'm not disappointed the rear exterior turn signals aren't amber!
Ground clearance is not an issue. I own this car. It’s almost 6 inches and the X5 is just over 8 inches and it’s an SUV that’s a 2 inch difference. Look at your finger now on your pointer finger and then look at your knuckle. That’s 2 inches high for a performance sedan.
Have you done the new X5? That would be nice to see at night.
Ground clearance is too low. Too complex to survive beyond warranty. Too expensive for what it is. Generally too big. And what's that, capacitive buttons, really? Can I have a small simple car instead, BMW? (I had a BMW X1 for years, and it was a great reliable car)
Harry said it is rubbish.
Basically a big heavy bus that is way overpriced
I don't know who Harry is, but I disagree. This was one of the most pleasurable vehicles to drive. You may want to take one for a test drive for yourself before coming to any extreme conclusions.
@@MikesCarInfo Harry's garage
@@pm512 Ok. A quick look at his channel makes me understand his perspective more. He's extremely wealthy and decadent so the comment about a modern luxury vehicle (that the common person couldn't afford and would love to have) as being "rubbish" is coming from an elitist perspective. He likes classic teeny tiny 2-door sports cars like lambos and Ferrari's, so a normal size, comfortable sedan made for families is not going to please that perspective. Unlikely he can relate with the normal car buyer.
@@MikesCarInfo but he is also an old-school guy like I am...we believe that BMWs should be light nimble and quick. All the fancy features are nice but it is not a BMW tradition with all that weight.
@pm512 OK, I understand.
