    He called the ultrasound sensors radar sensors and didn’t even know the adaptive button is actually a drive mode, suggesting comfort, sport, and eco pro are “adaptive” modes.
    I don’t like it when people review cars yet have a seemingly shallow knowledge of them :(

    Isn't moshing the "gas" and moshing the "throttle" the same thing?
    As to say, no brakes were required/used?

    It wouldn't be a BMW if it weren't overly complicated (01:18 videomark). Isn't a cup holder that requires 3 steps to make fully operational, a true sign of advanced Teutonic engineering?

      whatever you need to say, to compensate for the fact that you can't afford a car like this.

      I have thus car and it's perfect. It takes about 2 seconds to get the cup holders ready, and it's not wasting space when you don't need them.

    A lot of the features you mentioned, like the 360 camera and parking assist, gesture control etc are options, not standard.

    The cars interior is quite nice, love the features, not sold on the partly virtual gauges. I think BMW should have gone the route Audi did with their completely virtual gauge cluster.

    The car you showed as the Outgoing M5... is actually the Upcoming M5 which is faster than this M550.
