Throttle House stands out to me because they're not just reviewing cars, but they teach you about a car, its components, its culture, history. Feel like I'm in a science class instead of a dealership
Yeah. No reading from a brochure. Car reviews are becoming so stagnant and no one really stands out as much as Throttle House. Savage geese is great but a touch too dry for me. I cannot stand the straight pipes because they are negative more times then not and they force their humor (humour for you Canadians). Throttle house is like the old Top Gear for me now.
As someone who actually works at the BMW Plant, I can tell you personally putting those grills on is actually kind of satisfying. Knowing these cars from the moment they are being made is special. And trust me the Alpinas always get more attention than any other model. Because of course.

Totally with Thomas in that the Alpina treatment actually suits the X7 really well. Honestly, I wish they’d offer the 5/X5 with the Alpina treatment in the US, as well. It’d be so much better suited to the way 99.9999% of these are actually driven on a daily basis.
You know what?! I'm calling it - you guys are the best car reviewers on UA-cam. It's a crowded space and yet Throttle House stands above all others simply because you guys are not just reviewers, you're entertainers. Most importantly, you understand that to a degree that the others don't. Bravo! Keep it up 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The intros are always a funny way to step inside the video and enjoy it. Both of you know what they're talking about and the sense of quality and pleasure that you put making these videos is palpable. Very happy to see you reaching the 1M stone and beyond. Big compliments from Italy, keep it up!!!!
i used to feel quite sad about the fact that my favorite automotive shows are ending but now after seeing such amazing content from youtube channels such as throttle house, the straight pipes, Autotrader, carewow, donut media, carfection, gears and gasoline,etc. I feel a bit relieved.(people recommending car channels in their replies, i know there are more car channels but I can't mention them all thats why I wrote etc, i thought you might recognize it but my fault for assumimg that)
We should be thankful for the programs likes Top Gear and Fifth Gear though. Without them, the quality channels like this and many others would not be where they are now.
Holy F that is some major creaking in the GLS dash. It might actually be well made and durable, but such simple observations really do add up to a perception of cheapness, something no one would ever want to see in a premium brand, let alone a top end model...

Alpina somehow made the front of X7 look good, I love the poise and stance and posture of that XB7. Also what you did to that hamburger there, Thomas, is against the Geneva Convention.
Best YT car related channel imo. Even if i don't care about some specific cars, i watch them on this channel. And really enjoy. Sincere congrats for your amazing content!
Been a viewer since 40K subs and very glad to see this channel grow. These guys have hilarious chemistry reminiscent of Clarkson, Hammond, and May. That’s the greatest compliment I can give.
I love that Alpina, my friend has the GLS63 and it is a wonderful car, but there is something about an Alpina which I love. MY father also used to have an Alpina, back when I was little. It was a 1990 E32 Alpina B12 5.0. I still miss that car.
You guys are getting too high quality for UA-cam. Short of some special effects, this is straight up matching original Top Gear level in quality during Jeremy's or Hammond's track reviews. Even have the humor!
I've been Into cars my whole life and I'm a career mechanic and I still learn on this channel. The history behind the Alpina badge is quite interesting
I love those heavy and powerful AMG and M cars. I wish BMW would officially provide an X7M！ To have unnecessary power for a luxury Mercedes is just the right way！

No one saw saw James raise his hand like he was gonna slap the Mercedes when it failed to respond to “hey Mercedes”? I was cackling. James is HILARIOUS

Fantastic review as usual! Could you guys do a old vs new of the GLS? We have a 2013 GL63 before they renamed it the GLS. Would love to see what you guys think of it. It had the 5.5 rather than 4.0 Keep up the good work!
@@verttikoo2052 lmao, brabus is not only faster then any Alpina ever built, but also have 10 times the attention to detail. Same thing with Maybach. BMW doesn’t partner with any luxury division besides Alpina. And don’t even try to mention rolls Royce, they don’t use BMW parts
@@verttikoo2052 alpina are great cars I’m not denying the fact, but comparing an Alpina to something like Brabus is a different league and not even remotely fair.

And to see his head and upper body fly from side to side. It was particularly hilarious in this video. LoL
