If Top Gear are actually serious about their show they need to get Matt
they would get back their original crew lol
No top gear is too shit now to handle Matt. Give him a separate show and replace top gear altogether
Someone get a petition going....
Top Gear ? What's that ?
I prefer mat staying in carwow
Seriously, Mat is the ONLY car reviewer that I find funny, and I find him hilarious!
yeah the other ones are kidna cringy tbh
Do u know Doug or Donut things ?
@@khalil1911 100% bro
@@nimish2073 Yeah I don't mind Doug and I like his reviews of older or quirkier cars, but don't nessesarily find him funny. That's not the end of the world though! Tbh the only donut video I can remember watching was the history of the Supra. It was very good. You like those channels?
kingcrumpet Yeah, bumper 2 bumper also. He is so much energetic.
“If you lend someone your car....”
I don’t understand that statement
It means if u give someone your car for a certain time

"...never used the turn signals"
How could you? It's a BMW, turn signal fluid is stupidly expensive, not worth the spending.
Besides... a$$holes who drive BMWs have a reputation to uphold!?
I tried using those things in my e46 but the fxcxkxxking 🤬 full beams keep turning on with the turn signals so I stopped bothering
Probably a similar problem with other BMW drivers
Bineînțeles :))
Anhuin , the conqueror
Hey, try changing your turn signal stalk. I’ve seen a dude on UA-cam who has a Pontiac with the same problem as you. He showed a way to fix it. Here’s the link:
ua-cam.com/video/AFaNeq-p6Y8/v-deo.html
Dude its not about the expensive turn signal fluid but all about the turn signal stick not breaking off !!
The reverse steering assist would actually be really useful for me. I have a VERY narrow entrance tunnel to the courtyard of my house. There is virtually no gap either side when driving through - to be able to allow the car to reverse out for me would be perfect. Turning around in the courtyard is really difficult. So many people have scraped their bumpers squeezing through - me included.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Mat: it’s not as good as bmw’s idrive
Absolutely no on
@Some Phaggot Yep, I don't know where it comes from and I still don't get what's so funny about it.
Yep every time, yet today, I hardly used the idrive only for the basic stuff, WTF, lol
you are one dumb fucker
You missed the ‘as’, not as good as 🤦🏼♂️
So it needs an android phone to unlock it and a apple phone to use the infotainment system. Great job BMW!
like how can someone get this wrong lmao !
yeah exactly, it's almost like the guys in infotainment design department are apple users and they didn't bother to include android auto and the engineers who worked on developing the app for unlocking and locking of the car are android users and they didn't bother with apple... How did this even get approved by BMW.
But there will be an software update from BMW that fixes this... 🤔 Right?..... 🤔... Right?!?
Apple phones are incapable of unlocking the car because NFC is restricted to payments only on their ecosystem. So BMW should just stick it up and put android auto on their infotainment system.
The digital key feature only works with selected Samsung phones and not with all android phones!
You are an excellent presenter, love your sense of humor 😂
@R A fuck off mate
@R A where are your car review videos? where is your evidence of expertise?
Agreed
R A fuck off mate
Indeed
Mat, love how you made a fake call and then held your phone upside down. You're a real performer.
4:42 “you silly cow” 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
🤣🐮
Play that in 0.5 speed :D
wanker
9:20 Oh silly Matt, you know BMW owners don't let nobody eat in their car
Pod - Ew
Literally have a friend who has a 1 series as his first car. No eating allowed at all.
Good that he still uses his turn signals tho :D
I had my coffee in the bmw
Yes.
That is correct. No food and no feet on the dash.
Brilliant video. So refreshing to see a review without the snobbish, over-professional, dated approach. Fun, and mentions things the typical viewer would like to know.
Matt is criticizing BMW idrive?! 🧐🤯😳 the end is near
It isn’t technically idrive anymore.
Any respectful reviewer has to admit xidrive is shit
He was criticizing the maps not the idrive itself.
BMW iDrive is alright, but not as good as BMW iDrive.
My wife and I have been looking at houses lately, and we have a BMW with the backup assistance. It is really useful when backing out of 40 different driveways you are not familiar with. Only thing you have to remember is to stop before the end of the driveway, otherwise it will put you in the road turned the way you were when coming in, which is a doh-moment if you are on a dead-end.
Usually get bored watching these reviews of cars but this one was really entertaining. Good job. Subscribed
*4:38** l lost it there LMFAOOOO you silly cow, Matt you're truly a legend* 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know, sitting in a Starbucks and everyone looked at me for doing the same thing 😂
RocketBunny M2 same
😂😂😂
"What are you talking about mom, you look as if you were driving normally, YOU SILLY COW"
-Mat, 2019
🌚
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t know Tom Holland’s dad reviewed cars. Great video by the way!
This is what i was looking for
The resemblance is uncanny!
Doesnt even look like him
Looks nothing like him
Tom Hollands Dad is hilarious. Recently entertained our company
4:39 if Matt ever gets fired we’re rioting
Hey Matt, you really have to try all those features - the auto park is great and the reversing assistant invaluable when backing down a winding driveway on a dark night. My G20 330i M Sport has all those features you get on the 850i, including Laser headlights but at a fraction of the price. I believe that BMW don't trust Apple to open and lock their cars so the automatic walk up/walk away feature is good as you don't even need to touch a key. If you don't use indicators you get a vib through the steering wheel.
Mat is easily one of the best if not the best car guy on youtube. So entertaining with a lot of good information. Thumbs up Mat 👍🏼👍🏼
Lol are you serious? 😂 Guess you don't know about Ricky from LLF
Matt said "silly cow" about that rubbish woman. Mate u won't get rid of my support now.🤣🤣🤣
That scratched console makes me angry 😡
Makes me want to take out my key and scrape the whole damn side of the car
Angry towards whom?
@@SirMrShanks the guy or bmw?
@@magg93 chill bro
The way the seat change shape, and support your back and come in to hug you at the sides is cool...
It's the exact same feature I had on my 1995 Ford Probe
Why can’t i laugh at try not to laughs but Mat makes me laugh too much
Stunning car !!
Can’t wait to see the M8 😍
Agreed 😍
Same here!
I hope that will be his next long-termer after the G63 is gone!
@R A people who like BMW and it's design will? u stupid?
@R A I would choose the BMW Ofer all the other cars in its class
The editing of this particular video is definitely a bit weirder than usual
Zaid Saifi and better
Maybe because it's not a standard review so it doesn't follow the same editing patterns? I liked it.
Weird is good
I kind of enjoying it
Matt is the funniest car journalist ever 😂 and he get funnier every in review
You are so right when you said
Not using your signal lights on the bmw is a classic case for those drivers...
I see that all the time!
I genuinely laughed out loud at Matt’s gangsta moment there. Good thing I had just finished swallowing that sip of tea.
Rather have an 850i, getting paid to drive them 🎷🎷🎷
Like a sir
Mercedes fans:its so bad BMW pays people to drive it
Cars don't need to display the license plates because it ruins the beauty of a good sporty design. A technological solution is needed.
like what? The front plate looks fine to me, it isn't an ugly shape like North American ones
@@Allan13k both are ugly regardless
Yeah then when someone runs you over and you don't know their license plate, it'll be a good story 😂
It is better to easily be able to identify the vehicle for safety. If all cars have it, nobody can make fun of your car for having it on.
Also I think a nice private reg adds a bit of personalisation to your car, short of wrapping/modding it's a nice cheap modification!
I thought the thug life is a bit cringe
But then the color plate dropped in and I can’t stop laughing😂

I have a 840i and Matt as much as I agree with most of what you say I use the reverse assist all the time. My garage is behind my house so is use it to reverse up the narrowish driveway leading to it. So BMW you found one person that uses it. Just bought a M5 and so glad that has it as well.
enjoyed the video, and agree with him all the way, I have a 540 with all the same features, and Mat is so right on the joys and annoyances BMW adds as extras on their vehicles.
Love this man's review every time. full of humour. Keep review cars for us.
Great video Matt ,don’t let the haters take the jam out ya donut.would love to know the depreciation in 6 months on that 850i.
7:31 Fleetwood Mac... yeah!! Matt has a good taste in music
The parking and reverse assistant I use all the time, both great features. Car is longer than it should be I reckon. I turned gestures control off, steering wheel is easier. Beautiful car overall for money
I genuinely enjoy this channel.. gives me a lot of ideas for mine but the content is amazing. I Love the original 8 series from the early 90's, but this is also gorgeous. Glad you loved messing about with it for 6 months.
Wasn’t sure about Carwow at first but just to let you know you are absolutely nailing it as a presenter keep it up!
Love content, the videos are funny, informative and engaging! Good job Carwow!!
Thanks!
I don’t know why I’m watching this . I can’t even afford the wheels of this car .
@russ g i cant even afford to think about the wheel 🤣
Work hard then!
I can’t even afford a fucking Kia Picanto
I can't even afford a keyboard to type this comment
Great review, half was the car, other half was your presenting 😂
These vids with Matt are getting better and better. All the best for the future 👍
Matt make sure BMW gives you m8
12:12 sherlock holmes music, love it. What a GOAT
Mat is just hilarious! Love the practical snack storage space
12:00 The phone's actually upside down
Lmaooooooo
Matt, awesome wrap up of your time with the 850i. I was quite close to getting one a couple of months ago but there were a couple of things that put me off. I was given the car for 2 days by the dealership and when I returned it I had an average of 9mpg. I may have ragged it a little. I have also have two little ones and the rear seats could not accomodate them and their booster seats so that was a big no no from the missus. I am keen to check out the m8, but alas neither of those two sticking points mentioned above will be alleviated. But bloody hell was it an intoxicating drive.
*scratches only a mad cat or throwing your keys everyday for 6 months could have made*
Matt: I gently tried to vacuum and this happened :(
With Piano black you should only clean them with a gentle microfibre cloth, anything else will leave scratches.
@@gravemind6536 Damp or dry?
@@BlackBirds93 Dry it should get rid of any dust and smudges, if it has proper dirt use a glass cleaner so you don't get a streaky finish.
That editing thug life 😂😂
Honestly I haven’t seen one on the road where I live, so it was good to see an in-depth review on it. Thanks Mat!
Top gear was only Top Gear because of the Clarkson Hammond and May
However Matt is Definitely the Next Best Reviewer Since Top Gear and will be
When I went into tiny tunnel in Glasgow into the hotel car park in 1994 in the Vauxhall Frontera 2.3Td I had at the time and had then to reverse back up the ramp that kind of tech was just what I needed... not needed it much since however and did manage to back up round the concrete pillars at the time without a scrape.
We loved it, bloody quick too and that sound. *ben
Mat makes the best car reviews these days. He makes them informative yet funny. Great job Mat!
I saw Rumors by Fleetwood Mac on the infotainment system so my life is complete!
Henry Catchpole and Mat Watson together on vacation!!! Wow! Proabably my two favorite car journalists. Mat has the charisma and the humor. And Henry is an automotive poet.
Park assist is a life saver down my single track drive, it’s a literal drop either side so I feel confident I can reverse back when the Amazon driver comes flying.
I love how fun and entertaining Matt reviews are 😂😂😂 that thug life edit
The free Rolex ad before carwow count how many times the guy say “AMAZING”.
Hands down my favorite car reviewer on UA-cam.
You know I found out something
Almost all car review guys are really really really funny and cool. I love em. Specially Doug DeMuro and Matt Watson
Looked at one at the dealership and the cockpit is more cramped than an S2000 but it’s 3 X’s as heavy. It’s like putting an F1 cockpit in a Cadillac Brougham-sized car.
I love how you're just fully embracing the inner Alan Partridge now
We are all feeling with you Mat
This was one of the best vids yet. Thug life bit was hilarious hahaha
These reviews just getting better and better, and Matt. Damn he is good
This guy is so funny but knows about cars. Perfect combo for motoring journalist. Keep it up
I really badly wanted it to be a BMW M8 Competition
love the Sherlock Holmes music at the end. Very ... mysterious
Matt looks like tomholland when he gets older 😂
MATT, ANOTHER GREAT REVIEW; YOU HIT THOSE THINGS THAT CAN BOTHER YOU WHILE DRIVING THIS MONSTER. I'M STUNNED BY THE MILEAGE YOU GOT. I'D LOVE TO SEE AUTO PARKING CARS ACTUALLY PERFORM THAT FUNCTION.
Hands down the best car reviewer in the industry👌
sherlock holmes theme song!! A new london taxi?? haha!
Mat: " Carwow doesn't endorse it"
Also Mat: *shows us how to trick the system*
This is definitely my favorite recent bmw. Love everything about it, from the styling to the features and everything.
Yeah this and the 5 series, tbh I like all the sedan models and the M135i as well, but damn 8 series looks like a Shark, so beautiful and aggressive
3:09 why I love this man! You’re good, go on Mat. 😅
This is design is so good. I like how the air outlet on the side of the car behind the front wheel slants down unlike the the one slanting up on the 4 coupe. That with the shape the side window gives a really pleasing side profile.
“car review but it’s a meme”
The last seconds of the music in the background are a hint of the next car 🙈
So it's Japanese? 😂 I can't seem to hear the music properly
2:05 may have caused some seizures😭😭😭😭😂
Mate whatever your trying to do to get a viral comment its not working
Lights that blind everyone else on the road! Brilliant! Meets the “I’m better than you” expectations of anyone who buys it! 😂
"never used it before" is not a good argument to call any of those features useless. You don't use your airbags daily either, it's still a great feature to have.
Mat is getting funnier and funnier 😂
Matt, you are one of the most entertaining reviewers ever. Keep it up!
4:40 I’m weeaaaakkkk 😂😂😂😂😂
I know I’m a year late but finally! After all the car journalists make fun of the gesture controls like it’s a gimmick someone says the truth that you use it. I have a 2016 750i and I use it all the time. I almost never use the other controls
I bought one off the back off this review, carbon black, black leather and spec’d the Swarovski controls…..love it.? Just had it remapped and ooohhh my god!!!!!
Matt reviewing car is just like he's making love with them
I was wondering why your idea about bmw changed.
Because the gave you their most expensive car for 6 months 😂
Pls dont forget the m8 ...this is only the m850i
@@imeonzwei1179 m8 competitive* for some reason they are not making a regular m8. By the way, i think the m760li will be more expensive, especially in my country (the Netherlands) since we have a huge tax on emissions.
@@jobvandijke2860 M8 Competition* als je iemand verbetert, doe het dan goed.
@@albozzzzzzzzzzz excuses! Het ging mij niet om het verbeteren trouwens maar meer om te vertellen hoe stom de naamgeving van BMW soms is.
Job Van Dijke haha ik lach maar ;) ik geef je volkomen gelijk! De naamgeving is niet meer wat die geweest is jammer genoeg
Carwow do a Audi S8 2020 review please.
The BMW turn signal joke just won you a sub, congrats. I always thought BMW and Audi's must sell their signal lights as a separate package and no one bought them... ;)
Tip for G era owners - the weather app is actually pretty great, I don't bother navigating through the menus I just click the voice control button and say what's the weather like and it appears
you are super entertaining at 1.25x speed or 1.5x if i'm in a hurry. Almost Henry Catchpole good.. in some ways, more original. (1.25x speed is best)
Matt at 12:00 when you answered your phone it was upside down. I wouldn't have spotted this but I have a S10 too!
Someone has been working out. 😏 Great review, as always!
Honestly Mat you’re a comedian on wheels. Nice one bro. I’m yet to see any of your reviews that I don’t like. Keep it up.
I only have childhood memories of this car and I will be looking forward to seeing one up close and in person sometime soon. 😊
