Thank you, Eric, for the very kind words. So, yes, I do edit all the episodes you see - BY FAR the most time consuming part of the process. Good, bad or indifferent, I got into entertainment to tell stories and share my passion for cars and travel but somewhere along the way, I became an editor:)
Polestar blue for tuners would be my guess. It's interesting about the popularity of blue in the performance world. Subaru Blue, Gulf colors (blue and orange), but less than 8% of cars sold globally are blue.
For the colour question: Bleu de France (French blue) on Alpines, Rosso corsa (Italian red) on Ferraris and Alfa Romeos and British racing green on Jaguars. Silver on Mercedes-Benz is not really a colour because it was bare metal, but now most MBs are grey.
Volvo Polestar Blue, Ruf has a high rate of their own yellow, Brabus has Black as their main color (but actually not a own color code here), Nismo as Housetuner has white, the 555 blue of the Prodrive Subaru in older Times and Abarth had a own white which a lot of classic cars came with (mostly with red applications).
Wow! That is a gorgeous interior combination! I got to set in the F01 Aplina B7 & the materials were just exquisite (it was White on White). If money is no issue, I'd definitely have a B7 of every 7er generation in my staple (2 of the E65 lol) I'm not a fan of the new wheels though, the Alpina classic wheels were better. Personally I prefer the Alpina dynamic wheels. As for your question, I guess I’ll have to go with Brabus. They make a ridicules amount of black cars. Quick question, M. Which one you prefer, The B7? or the M760Li xDrive? Or the *takes breath* M760Li xDrive V12 Excellence?
Wow amazing car 😃 i love Alpina's! Beautiful color too, but love the Alpina green a lot too. I guess the volvo polestar probably has a high take rate on the blue too...?
The Night Vision is in the center display because the dials in front of the driver are meant for driving. Rev meter, and speed thats all a driver needs!
I feel like you don't need anything in the dials but the dials themselves, although I guess it is safer looking straight ahead at the night vision rather than at the center screen but I really appreciate that BMW keep the driving essentials where they need to be and the other fancy stuff on the side. Its something I put in the same light as something like Rolls Royce Where they keep traditional analog dials (although BMW is digital), kinda like how you prefer hard buttons on the dash and not full touch screen to control curtain functions. As a driving person I guess I would prefer to have driver orientated instruments in front of me rather than switching satnav and all other functions. But I guess thats me
Alex Wong I would love to see the B12 return with a V12 engine. I was sad to hear the current AMG S65 is the last AMG model with a V12. I hope others keep the V12
So far I don't see the purpose for this souped-up 7 series (other than some additional sprinkly dust). I hope your drive review will enlighten me (an maybe others). Still...a good review on a car I just don't 'get'.
Well considering many people have driven Alpinas faster than they are announced I doubt they deliver less than announced. For example, the B7 did 0-97 kph in 3,4 s in a review (instead of 3,7 s announced for 0-100 kph).
typical boring BMW dash , new colors cause they are following others out of the boring leathers and tacky wood. The table sticking out of the dash looks like an after thought. Lets not forget BMW's ultimate high maintenance issues and highest cost of ownership after 3 years.
What drugs are you on? I love German engineering, Only people who understand QUALITY drive German , Corvette owner explains it all :) to the rest of us....
Without a doubt the most in depth and interesting reviews on youtube
This guy is amazingly good.
The guy is the best reviewer - no fuzz no shit - and a touch of humor. I like it.
JET96 i completely agree.
Alpina green? An amazing colour too.
the most underrated channel on youtube
i love the nerdiness of this channel , bravo.
I don't know if you edit your own videos but for whoever does they do a WONDERFUL job. Not to mention how good of a journalist you are!

I was waiting waiting as to when you would mention the paint color. Alpina Blue looks awesome !!
polestar blue? for your trivia question
Wood is custom Alpina Myrtle wood not light poplar wood which has no red in it. Otherwise, outstanding review!
Polestar blue for tuners would be my guess. It's interesting about the popularity of blue in the performance world. Subaru Blue, Gulf colors (blue and orange), but less than 8% of cars sold globally are blue.
MKTech polestar blue has a very high take rate
I think that is just evidence that car nuts and performance enthusiasts have better taste than the rest of the world.
For the colour question: Bleu de France (French blue) on Alpines, Rosso corsa (Italian red) on Ferraris and Alfa Romeos and British racing green on Jaguars. Silver on Mercedes-Benz is not really a colour because it was bare metal, but now most MBs are grey.
he did mention "tuner" cars, not factory.
Volvo Polestar Blue, Ruf has a high rate of their own yellow, Brabus has Black as their main color (but actually not a own color code here), Nismo as Housetuner has white, the 555 blue of the Prodrive Subaru in older Times and Abarth had a own white which a lot of classic cars came with (mostly with red applications).
Brabus makes great cars but Alpina tugs at my heart for some reason
Yas Marina Blue M3 is 🔥🔥

you should say:ich habe fertig!!!(legendary Interview from Giovanni Trappatoni,former Coach from Bayern München)
Good work!
Where are the screens in the back?
When will you review M550i?
A Fun fact: The script at the end of your show still says ©2016
The Night Vision is in the center display because the dials in front of the driver are meant for driving. Rev meter, and speed thats all a driver needs!
Most others put it within the dials for that very reason - BMW has this one backwards.

Kind of a long opinion haha. By the way I'm going through your whole UA-cam channel and enjoying it. You have great insite
Thanks!
A shame it gets the 4.4 V8 instead of the 6.0 V12.
Alex Wong I would love to see the B12 return with a V12 engine. I was sad to hear the current AMG S65 is the last AMG model with a V12. I hope others keep the V12
Could this be an "in-family" alternative to the last BMW 760?
You are jumping to the question in the coming FIRST DRIVE REVIEW . . . Were you on set with Kumo and I?
Is that a question or an invite? ;)
A tuner with an equally high take-rate on one color? Probably Brabus, their all black. :P
So far I don't see the purpose for this souped-up 7 series (other than some additional sprinkly dust). I hope your drive review will enlighten me (an maybe others). Still...a good review on a car I just don't 'get'.
There are some unexpected things coming up . . .
What a machine!
Manhart. Black and gold
Swedish racing green on Polestar Volvos?

Poplar? I could of sworn that Alpina called it , "murtlewood"? I'd still go with the Black exterior color! w/color of your B7!
I still prefer the B6 model of the Alpina!
Lately though we have seen Alpina's have a very hard time living up to their promised engine outputs in real life.
Well considering many people have driven Alpinas faster than they are announced I doubt they deliver less than announced. For example, the B7 did 0-97 kph in 3,4 s in a review (instead of 3,7 s announced for 0-100 kph).
Its Polestar
buddy if you dont stop to do 1 of 2 , 2 of 2. i ll stop to watch you just fyi !

Volvo Pole dancer

In the USA, only dorks and drug dealers drive German cars.
I've got a Corvette. Wanna run it, goofy???
