Yeah when I do return inspections, the inspectors always look mesmerized haha. They always say it's the nicest and cleanest lease return they have seen in their career. Makes me happy.
The next driver of this car will definitely get a tight and clean BMW, because Pan had kept it in this pristine condition. Anticipating your new video series on how to seal and protect the Porsche. Forever enjoying your content Pan.
This is why I watch Pan’s videos. Anyone that keeps his own car looking better than new, knows how to detail cars 👍🏽 and you can tell he enjoys doing it.
At 0:06 Safety First Welcome to Paaan De Organizer with hands on the wheel Can't believe it's been 3 years remember when Pan first brought that BMW out the next owner will be happy it looks better than when it came out the Showroom
Pan… so happy for you in this period of your career & life. This past Christmas, I bought my wife her dream car and the thrill of seeing it the fist time, smelling it the first time, sitting in it the first time, and of course putting it in drive the first time is just indescribable. I feel fortunate & blessed to have been able to give her that gift. I hope you feel that sentiment every time you spend long hours creating your content knowing that with a few haters out there, it is the one’s who believe in you and want to gravitate towards the greater good in each person around us. UA-cam has afforded me the opportunity to learn your story, benefit from your passion, and just fall into something that brings joy in a challenging world. I am trying to tune out the naysayers in my own life and know the Pan Family out here wishes you many years (better be more than 3 years with that Porsche) of enjoyment. For me, I take great pride in detailing my wife’s car and finding new tips & products that make it a relaxing and fun way to enjoy her car outside of driving it. Thank you for giving me that gift! One day I will give you a big high five and toast to many more years of success! For now, I will sit back and wait to enjoy the show on the detail of your dream car!
That are super kind words and they are deeply appreciated!! Thank you!! I am blessed with an awesome audience filled with positive minded people like you. :) The first major detailing video for my new Porsche is coming this Saturday May 1st, 8am EST so stay tuned. And of course many videos to follow!! :)
Thanks for sharing this with us Pan! I’m so happy for you and your new Porsche. Excellent spec and amazing colour! I can’t wait to see the videos to come! 😎
Yeah I like giving credit where credit is due. It will also serve as a memory for me, when I look back into my older videos one day and reminisce the days with my BMW. :)
Nice post! While not as luxurious inside as your BMW, my 2019 Hellcat Charger has been a great car (they are built in Brampton). Smiles per gallon for the last two years for me. 707hp, 650ft-lb torque, 10.8s 1/4 mi. I'm selling it now because the used car market is so good and I will eventually get a Redeye Hellcat, 797hp, but I've loved your BMW and may get one someday. My only concern is exactly what you pointed out - the reliability and cost to repair after several years. I know you're super proud of your new car! Can't wait to see the full detail!
Great video mate. It’s really nice to see a review from someone who just talks like a normal person, not playing up to the camera etc enjoy the new car!
Pan I'm very impressed with the real life everyday functionality of the M550i. What a FUN car to drive! You make me want to get one now!! lol Thanks for sharing.
Nothing beats my current Porsche 911 Turbo S for sure in all the cars I owned. But before the M550i, it wod would have to be the Audi S5 that I had a few years prior.
You were leasing your BMW this entire time?! You put more love into it than most people do to their owned vehicles. The next owner will be super lucky.
Lol, facts. My neighbor owns a corvette stingray and he hasn't washed it since he purchased it, which is around a month... Smh, when he washes it, he probably going to take it through a car wash.
Pan just curious a car like the BMW 550i for leasing purposes how much does it cost to lease a car like this and when your lease is up you have the option to purchase, correct? If so what would the payoff be? So I"m guessing your purchased your New Car and not leased it?
It depends on how much cashdown you put for the lease, but the typical payment on a car like this with the options, is roughly 1800$ CAD per month. The buyback was approximately 55,000$ CAD if I remember... Don't quote me on that. I always lease my cars as I get a brand new car every three years. So purchasing makes no financial sense in my world.
Hard to part with such a great car but you have the Porsche to play with now - so even more excitement ; can’t wait for the Porsche detailing vids Pan !
Hey Pan, congratulations to moving on to your new Porsche! Are you planning on leasing your Porsche for three years as well or are you planning on keeping it long term?
That dealership was for sure shocked when you dropped it off, probably thinking to them selves that it looks better than the showroom vehicles. Great video Pan!!
Everytime I bring back a vehicle, I always get the same jaw dropping reaction of "WHAT? Did you even drive this car? It looks better then the day we did the delivery to you!" :)
@@PanTheOrganizer That’s always good to keep them in shock haha, they will give you a good deal, currently I work over at Volkswagen as the main Detailer and it is very rare to see a car that’s well taken care of from its last owner. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and it has helped me a lot! Slowly Im transitioning to have my own mobile detailing business but have to build up my reputation here in my area before it goes 100%
I'm REALLY excited about the upcoming Porsche videos because I know you've reviewed a ton of products on your channel and most of them are good but some products are like 1~5% better and I know not all vehicles deserves the best of the best but you're going to put the best of the best on your new vehicle, I can't wait
pan the next guy who gonna buy this car will be really lucky. After 3 years it's looks all new or better than new. I'm learning a lot from you by seeing a lot of your video. i hope i will have a result like yours when i will sell my x1. Keep the good work and enjoy your 911 :)
Appreciate this video. I have a 2021M550i in production now. Been waiting over eight weeks. Sonax, yellow rupes, and CQuartz UK 3.0 are waiting... New car prep plan in place. Pan has taught me well! Can’t wait 🤩
A car at that price say in GBP. 70k road price. on 3 years with 10k per mileage a year. With a 6 months upfront initial rental 6.6k down plus a few hundred fee. Then 1.1k per month. So for a 3 year it’s about 45k ownership. Personally I buy at 2 years in at half the price and for the next 3 years your golden then sell.
It was roughly 1800$ CAD per month for this specific model with the options ($1500 USD). Of course the price depends on many factors including if you're adding a cash down to lower the monthly payments, country you live in, taxes, etc.
Hey Pan. Something completely left field and not related to your video. When the notification popped up for your new video I just started reading Zig Ziglar 'Over The Top' and I read a line from the book that sums up someone like yourself, and it was... 'People with a passion do what they are doing out of love for the people they're doing it for and for the results they expect to obtain.'
ahhhh good ol Autodrome St. Eustache! i didnt know you took it there Pan! I still remember the video when you first got the BMW, time flys! VERY excited to see the new videos and content with the Porsche!!
Beautiful part of the world you live in Pan! And your new car is epic, really pleased for you. It's clear to see how much it means to you. Well deserved!
11:30 This is the tough part of lusting over the M550i, but currently owning a Lexus LX 570. I do want one of these. I'll have to see how they depreciate compared to my LX.
Love the vid, Pan. I didn't know you drag raced. I can't wait to see any clips of you and your new baby at the track. I know she'll be turning a lot of heads! Congrats!
Yeah I always get a brand new car every three years, so lease is the way to go in my case. If you keep cars for more than 5 years, purchasing is the better financial option in my opinion.
Congrats on a new car adventure Pan. Getting a new car is always exciting. Getting a new Porshe is even more! Lol On another note, I especially enjoyed the beautiful view of your drive. The landscape in Canada is stunning! I have to say I am a little jealous of the low milege. That means you spend less time on the road and more quality time doing what you love. I have a 2017 and have 80,000 miles plus the milege on my truck. Leasing is definately a wiser choice for milege and tradein times. I am super happy for you Pan! Congrats on all your hard work and success!! Cheers!
Thanks! Yeah I don't do much mileage in a year, and even less during covid. The scenery is nice in some places in my province (Quebec) but there are even more breathtaking places in Canada like out West in British Columbia (the Rockies), Alberta and Nova Scotia (East coat).
@@PanTheOrganizer pan I'm loving that 911 but you might want to reconsider dailying that car. You might want to get another vehicle in addition to it plus it will be good for your channel as you'll have another car to clean on. Just a humble suggestion as you'll notice milage is kept fairly low on cars like that.
I was doing some research on Carpro products and i felt on your full review video on them. I was trying to find if i needed all those products on my tesla fully ppf wrap with xpel nano. I thought with the ceramics coating ill have nothing to do except wash, but i now realize there’s lot more to do and I’ll watch your channel to learned what i have to do!
Cool. Yeah ceramic coatings are the best form of paint protection, and they do make washing the car a lot easier. But that doesn't mean the car is magically never dirty hehe. Like any protection, they need proper maintenance to keep peak performance going. But they do offer incredible durability, hydrophobics, gloss, slickness, chemical resistance, etc.
Hi Pan, J’ai beaucoup aimé ce nouveau format de vidéo. La qualité et le son sont top👍. C’est vraiment sympa de changer de temps en temps et les routes ont l’air vraiment cool pour rouler. A plus Gregg
Had a M550i before and agree with everything you said. The best balance between luxury, performance, and value. I got an X5M now, beast power for sure, but I still miss the comfort in the M550i sometimes.
Good points Kan!! Congrats on your X5M! M cars are always mega beasts. But I agree with you for the comfort aspect. That's why I didn't get the M5 and got the M550i instead. More comfortable seats and suspension, better sound deadening, etc.
Thanks Brandon! Clearly, my viewers enjoyed this different style of video, so for sure I will have driving videos with the new 911 Turbo S! And the first big detailing video for it is dropping this Saturday, so stay tuned!!
@@PanTheOrganizer It's black on black... hard to manage.. I am planning to have it polished and ceramic coated :) Thanks for all the great tips from your videos, I learned a lot!
Saw the video of the new Beast,sick colour,going to pop like hell when you’re done the detailing. Can’t wait.I have a question totally not related to this video. I have a Jeep YJ to ceramic coat.He has just installed a new vinyl soft top.A product to protect the top.Nothing that streaks .His other top he would use Back to Black would streak. Thanks for the input.
I would apply a coating like CarPro CQuartz Fabric. See this tutorial: www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-to-articles/90772-how-protect-your-fabric-convertible-top-cquartz-fabric.html
Awesome video Pan! I just recently subscribed and love the videos you put out. By chance could you do a Car Wash/Detailing Algorithm video? Like if your car hasn't been cleaned in "x" amount of time or has PPF/Ceramic Coating then the following wash process would be "y". I like how you put links to products, but it is a bit overwhelming to a novice like myself to know which is for which.
Excited to see the next vid with the New one now! A detailing question if you do not mind? I am booking in probably for Gyeon Syncro. How have found this for durability or should I be looking at something else given that Syncro has out for so long now.
Syncro is a great coating kit and lasts about as long as CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 (2 years). It has won awards in my yearly awards video here: ua-cam.com/video/ULvGi3dbBrA/v-deo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you for the reply. It is to this reason why you have the following that you do. You still take the time to reply and provide your much valued opinion. Thank you. Kind regards
Thanks for the positive feedback Stephen. I appreciate it. Yeah not everyone realizes that I can spend up to four hours a day just replying to UA-cam comments personally, every day. As you can imagine with an audience of 620,000 subscribers and millions watching, I receive thousands of messages, emails and DM's on a daily basis. It gets overwhelming, so I focus on responding to UA-cam comments mainly, but it allows me to stay connected with you guys. It's cool to have the opportunity to share common passions with my viewers so I will continue to respond for as long as I can. :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Show us the porsche turbo s doing this and go to that race again . So happy for this genuine gentleman detailer / UA-camR. Your great pan . Love from Sydney Australia.
I made a video for my winter wheels and tires setup on the BMW here: ua-cam.com/video/hKb_KH_d8GI/v-deo.html The winter setup for my Porsche arrived at the dealership. The wheels are identical to my summer ones, but I have no idea what tires are on there as the sizes limit the choices. I think Porsche goes for Pirelli for winters. I'll see when I get to have them installed.
Glad to see we have similar tastes! Purchased a 4 series gran coupé last summer! Hope to get an m-series one day!! Keeping on that grind while keeping it tight and keeping it clean! 💪🏻
Right on! Congrats on your 4 series GC!! I had one too back in 2015! You probably saw it in a few videos on my channel. What color and model did you get??
@@PanTheOrganizer Actually I am only newly subscribed to your channel since 2020 but I was very surprised to see it! I picked up a 2016 428i in the mineral grey!! It had very low mileage (23000km's) so I jumped on it @ bmw of Laval last summer! Been following your great tips to keep her clean!! Thanks for the great contant!! Congratulations again on your beautiful new gem (turbo S) :)
Cool video, Pan. Love the "pig snout" comment. A friend of mine just bought a "pig snout" BMW. I'll have to kid him about this. When you turn this car in, the dealer will not even believe the condition it's in. They will probably owe you money, for taking such good car of it? Looking forward to your 911 videos.
Hehehe yeah the front end on the new M3/M4 sure is polarizing. You either hate it or like it. So many videos online talk about it. But beyond that, they are TREMENDOUS vehicles with tons of performance, power and overall high end fit and finish. He should be proud!
@@PanTheOrganizer yeah that’s right it’s crazy right now! We’re almost sold out of trucks in Alberta we cant keep up with demand. And people are exporting them all to the states leaving inventory short! And prices are going up for the used truck/car market in Alberta like crazy. For example I work at a dodge dealership and I just paid a guy 95k for a 2020 f250 king ranch with 17000 km on it! He bought it for 82 k a year and a half ago lmao . It’s getting Ridiculous.
Long term durability on vehicles is of no concern to me, as I get a brand new car every three years hehe. I just love cars too much, I always want something new. But for German luxury cars in general, I recommend buying them new, keeping them maximum 4 years under warranty, and then moving on to a new one. German brands aren't known for exceptional long term reliability compared to Japanese makers like Lexus (Toyota) and Acura (Honda). Except for Porsche, which is known to be right up there with the most reliable brands in the world.
I didn't know you had an S5! I own a white S5 with 30k miles tuned Stage 2+ ECU & TCU dual pulley, full valved exhaust, upgraded cooling. 20x10.5 inch Satin black Vossen wheels, all the carbon fiber exterior mods, RS5 quattro black grill. Shes running low 3 0-60 and low 11 quarters. Couple more things in the future will get me into the 10's with a 2.9 0-60! Nothing compared to your new baby but I'm sure you can imagine your old S5 running like that!
Daaaamn you have a war machine!! Congrats! Yeah it was a 2013 glacier white Audi S5 with two tone red/black interior. That car was freaking gorgeous and that design still looks amazing and modern today! I had the new supercharged 3.0L V6 in that 2013. What year do you have?
@@PanTheOrganizer Yup same color and 2013 which I prefer over the B9 starting in 2017, got it off a lease with 9k miles. With the modded exterior the car looks newer than pretty much anything on the road. The interior is Alcantara, I couldn't do leather here in FL its just too hot.
@Pan How often should you clear your steering wheel if you want to avoid it ever getting shiny? I find that nothing helps mine. It's not shiny like the majority of cars I see around but shiny compared to that brand brand new look. I don't expect to get it back to factory looks but as matte as possible. I'm rolling around 20,000 kms right now.
Pan - brother! I've been waiting for you to pull up in my driveway with the BMW since you released this video. What's taking so long?? I'm ready to take delivery!! 😂
I was driving this car all year round. It’s my daily driver. Same goes for my new Porsche. It’s a daily driver, not a garage queen. It will be driven in the winter. Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed. :)
Pan!! Great video!! You have to let me know where those roads are! Must be beautiful once the trees are a bit more lit up :) im from around montreal as well
Such true words about saying work hard and there will be something out there that will make you happy . God bless ya pan . Honesty from PAN THE ORGANIZER.
Definitely yes.. We enjoy all of your posts & videos & learning so much.. not only about vehicle detailing & products but also how to present in a proper way with most accurate & appropriate techniques & language as well.. Thanks for all that.. Keep up the good work.. And also all the best with your Porsche 911 it’s wonderful.. Cheers 🥂
Enjoyed the ride and review. And I was very glad to hear you talk about the long term reliability issues with German luxury cars. If you want one of these, you and Scotty Kilmer are in complete agreement... lease a new one for three years. Cheers!
BMW “Wow did you just clean this car?”
Pan “It always look like this.”
Even better than from factory
LOL I love that Daiymian!!!
@@PanTheOrganizer Lol, thank you sir :)
@@PanTheOrganizer I know they should pay you for giving them the car back in this condition 😅
@@yamantarakji exactly. Pan was probably like... “uhh why don’t your NEW cars look like my used one ?!”
Pan won't have any issues with the return inspection, this thing is mint!
I was thinking the same thing. If someone ends up buying this car afterwards, they are starting off in excellent shape.
Yeah when I do return inspections, the inspectors always look mesmerized haha. They always say it's the nicest and cleanest lease return they have seen in their career. Makes me happy.
@@PanTheOrganizer I bet they were trying all they could to get you to come back to another BMW!

11:30 This is the tough part of lusting over the M550i, but currently owning a Lexus LX 570. I do want one of these. I'll have to see how they depreciate compared to my LX.
Great video and words of wisdom, thanks!
Thanks!
Montréal in mid-April, that reminds me of superb memories! I Loved the M550i but can’t wait to see the new one properly detailed!!!
First major detailing video coming this Saturday! Stay tuned for another awesome one. :)
Pan you have great credit
Love the vid, Pan. I didn't know you drag raced. I can't wait to see any clips of you and your new baby at the track. I know she'll be turning a lot of heads! Congrats!
Can't wait! Even on the roads, it will take me some time to get used to all the people staring at the car with their eyes wide open... Hehehehe.
I didn’t know this was a lease! I really like how you treated this BMW. Real nice and clean. :)
Yeah I always get a brand new car every three years, so lease is the way to go in my case. If you keep cars for more than 5 years, purchasing is the better financial option in my opinion.
This is one of my favourite roads to drive on!
what a beauty man...
Congrats on a new car adventure Pan. Getting a new car is always exciting. Getting a new Porshe is even more! Lol
On another note, I especially enjoyed the beautiful view of your drive. The landscape in Canada is stunning!
I have to say I am a little jealous of the low milege. That means you spend less time on the road and more quality time doing what you love. I have a 2017 and have 80,000 miles plus the milege on my truck. Leasing is definately a wiser choice for milege and tradein times. I am super happy for you Pan! Congrats on all your hard work and success!! Cheers!
Thanks! Yeah I don't do much mileage in a year, and even less during covid. The scenery is nice in some places in my province (Quebec) but there are even more breathtaking places in Canada like out West in British Columbia (the Rockies), Alberta and Nova Scotia (East coat).
The M550i is such a nice car! Kinda sad to see it go, but you've gotten a great replacement Pan🤩.
Thanks! 👍
@@PanTheOrganizer pan I'm loving that 911 but you might want to reconsider dailying that car. You might want to get another vehicle in addition to it plus it will be good for your channel as you'll have another car to clean on. Just a humble suggestion as you'll notice milage is kept fairly low on cars like that.
It’s a three year lease. After that I’ll move on to a new car. Cars like these are meant to be driven. Not kept in garages or museums. My opinion. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer hey when you go to return it ping me - I'd buy one from you in a heart beat :)
I love your mindset! Je viens de découvrir ton channel et c’est de loin mon favoris!
Merci!! How did you discover my channel?
I was doing some research on Carpro products and i felt on your full review video on them. I was trying to find if i needed all those products on my tesla fully ppf wrap with xpel nano. I thought with the ceramics coating ill have nothing to do except wash, but i now realize there’s lot more to do and I’ll watch your channel to learned what i have to do!
Cool. Yeah ceramic coatings are the best form of paint protection, and they do make washing the car a lot easier. But that doesn't mean the car is magically never dirty hehe. Like any protection, they need proper maintenance to keep peak performance going. But they do offer incredible durability, hydrophobics, gloss, slickness, chemical resistance, etc.
Nice I’ll watch all your videos for tricks in my new hobby 😃
Hi Pan,
J’ai beaucoup aimé ce nouveau format de vidéo. La qualité et le son sont top👍. C’est vraiment sympa de changer de temps en temps et les routes ont l’air vraiment cool pour rouler.
A plus
Gregg
Merci Gregg!
Gooooodbye BMW!!! Hello Porsche!! Vrooom vrooom!!
I didn't watch your vids much lately but still appreciate the level of content on your car detailing videos 👌🏽👌🏽🔥
Thanks Aaron!
Congratulations Pan! Work Hard - Live Well!!
Yes! Thank you!
Love your channel.Awesome video as usual.
Thanks so much!
Had a M550i before and agree with everything you said. The best balance between luxury, performance, and value. I got an X5M now, beast power for sure, but I still miss the comfort in the M550i sometimes.
Good points Kan!! Congrats on your X5M! M cars are always mega beasts. But I agree with you for the comfort aspect. That's why I didn't get the M5 and got the M550i instead. More comfortable seats and suspension, better sound deadening, etc.
You should do more driving videos like this! Can't wait for the Porsche Content!
Thanks Brandon! Clearly, my viewers enjoyed this different style of video, so for sure I will have driving videos with the new 911 Turbo S! And the first big detailing video for it is dropping this Saturday, so stay tuned!!
Very true about working hard and dream coming true. I also turned 40 and got my first 911... amazing, as well as a fellow Canadian. Cheers!
That's so cool Danny! Congrats to you as well. What model and color did you get? Is is the new 992 gen?
@@PanTheOrganizer I wish I could get a 992! Got a 991.1 CS4, still overwhelmed with joy!
Very cool!! What color?
@@PanTheOrganizer It's black on black... hard to manage.. I am planning to have it polished and ceramic coated :) Thanks for all the great tips from your videos, I learned a lot!
Thanks for sharing. That went quick, the 3 year lease.
Yeah time flies!
Knowing how well you kept it, I would love to buy that car. Great video Pan!
Thanks! 👍
I really appreciate this kind of vidéos ! I hope you can do it with the Porsche !
Thanks Quentin! Well since you guys seem to have liked this style of video, I will make one (or a few) for the Porsche for sure!! :)
Jadore se format de video cetais super un autre point de vue avec une bonne discussion tu etais dans quelle coin pour le fun :) ! Au plaisir Pan !
Merci!
Fun video Pan thanks! Enjoy your new Turbo S!!
Thanks! Will do!
I love this new style of video on your channel. Great job on it! 🙂
Thanks! It was my first video like this so wasn’t too sure how it would come out, but you guys seem to like it so I’ll do more for my Porsche! :)
Pan, great video. How were those 20” wheels in terms of comfort ride, and did you have any damage on the tires or wheels due to potholes?
It was very comfortable and never once did I have issues. But I avoid potholes haha.
Hi Pan,nice looking car this BMW,it does pulls well when you floor it.somebody will have a great car there.
Saw the video of the new Beast,sick colour,going to pop like hell when you’re done the detailing. Can’t wait.I have a question totally not related to this video.
I have a Jeep YJ to ceramic coat.He has just installed a new vinyl soft top.A product to protect the top.Nothing that streaks .His other top he would use Back to Black would streak.
Thanks for the input.
I would apply a coating like CarPro CQuartz Fabric. See this tutorial: www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-to-articles/90772-how-protect-your-fabric-convertible-top-cquartz-fabric.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks a million.Where you in the Laurentians when you filmed you last ride with your BM?
Awesome video Pan! I just recently subscribed and love the videos you put out. By chance could you do a Car Wash/Detailing Algorithm video? Like if your car hasn't been cleaned in "x" amount of time or has PPF/Ceramic Coating then the following wash process would be "y". I like how you put links to products, but it is a bit overwhelming to a novice like myself to know which is for which.
Here is how I wash my car: ua-cam.com/video/9QWk0ZFb6_I/v-deo.html
Excited to see the next vid with the New one now!
A detailing question if you do not mind? I am booking in probably for Gyeon Syncro. How have found this for durability or should I be looking at something else given that Syncro has out for so long now.
Syncro is a great coating kit and lasts about as long as CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 (2 years). It has won awards in my yearly awards video here: ua-cam.com/video/ULvGi3dbBrA/v-deo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you for the reply. It is to this reason why you have the following that you do. You still take the time to reply and provide your much valued opinion. Thank you. Kind regards
Thanks for the positive feedback Stephen. I appreciate it. Yeah not everyone realizes that I can spend up to four hours a day just replying to UA-cam comments personally, every day. As you can imagine with an audience of 620,000 subscribers and millions watching, I receive thousands of messages, emails and DM's on a daily basis. It gets overwhelming, so I focus on responding to UA-cam comments mainly, but it allows me to stay connected with you guys. It's cool to have the opportunity to share common passions with my viewers so I will continue to respond for as long as I can. :)
That looks like a serious ride best of luck with the new car
Thanks William! Yes the M550i is a beast of a car as well, perfect blend of comfort, luxury and performance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Show us the porsche turbo s doing this and go to that race again . So happy for this genuine gentleman detailer / UA-camR. Your great pan . Love from Sydney Australia.
Thanks again Nick!!
Pan, what was your winter wheel and tire set up on the M550? Same question for the new Porsche.
I made a video for my winter wheels and tires setup on the BMW here: ua-cam.com/video/hKb_KH_d8GI/v-deo.html
The winter setup for my Porsche arrived at the dealership. The wheels are identical to my summer ones, but I have no idea what tires are on there as the sizes limit the choices. I think Porsche goes for Pirelli for winters. I'll see when I get to have them installed.
Beautiful car! I love BMW. Enjoy your new Porsche! Blessing.
Thank you! Will do!
Glad to see we have similar tastes! Purchased a 4 series gran coupé last summer! Hope to get an m-series one day!! Keeping on that grind while keeping it tight and keeping it clean! 💪🏻
Right on! Congrats on your 4 series GC!! I had one too back in 2015! You probably saw it in a few videos on my channel. What color and model did you get??
@@PanTheOrganizer Actually I am only newly subscribed to your channel since 2020 but I was very surprised to see it! I picked up a 2016 428i in the mineral grey!! It had very low mileage (23000km's) so I jumped on it @ bmw of Laval last summer! Been following your great tips to keep her clean!! Thanks for the great contant!! Congratulations again on your beautiful new gem (turbo S) :)
Thanks Anthony! Through my videos, you’ll always know how to take good care of your Beemer!
I’m looking to buy this car used now, not sure if I should I not. Waiting to see where I can get one with a good warranty
I’m so sad I love the m550i. I’m such a bimmer fan boy. Hopefully Pan gets another one in the future. Anyways enjoy the Porsche and congrats
Thanks!
Need that new 911 Detail Video!
Coming this Saturday!! 🎉🎉🎉
Cool video, Pan. Love the "pig snout" comment. A friend of mine just bought a "pig snout" BMW. I'll have to kid him about this. When you turn this car in, the dealer will not even believe the condition it's in. They will probably owe you money, for taking such good car of it? Looking forward to your 911 videos.
Hehehe yeah the front end on the new M3/M4 sure is polarizing. You either hate it or like it. So many videos online talk about it. But beyond that, they are TREMENDOUS vehicles with tons of performance, power and overall high end fit and finish. He should be proud!
I love that ride super nice m550 is rare i never see them in Alberta! Congrats on the Porsche.
Thanks! I hear that out West, especially places like Alberta, pickup trucks are king right?
@@PanTheOrganizer yeah that’s right it’s crazy right now! We’re almost sold out of trucks in Alberta we cant keep up with demand. And people are exporting them all to the states leaving inventory short! And prices are going up for the used truck/car market in Alberta like crazy. For example I work at a dodge dealership and I just paid a guy 95k for a 2020 f250 king ranch with 17000 km on it! He bought it for 82 k a year and a half ago lmao . It’s getting Ridiculous.
😱😱
From one fantastic car to another. Congratulations on the new car enjoy it and take care 😀
Thank you! 👍
Curious how the M550 will hold up with higher mileage?
Long term durability on vehicles is of no concern to me, as I get a brand new car every three years hehe. I just love cars too much, I always want something new.
But for German luxury cars in general, I recommend buying them new, keeping them maximum 4 years under warranty, and then moving on to a new one. German brands aren't known for exceptional long term reliability compared to Japanese makers like Lexus (Toyota) and Acura (Honda). Except for Porsche, which is known to be right up there with the most reliable brands in the world.
I didn't know you had an S5! I own a white S5 with 30k miles tuned Stage 2+ ECU & TCU dual pulley, full valved exhaust, upgraded cooling. 20x10.5 inch Satin black Vossen wheels, all the carbon fiber exterior mods, RS5 quattro black grill. Shes running low 3 0-60 and low 11 quarters. Couple more things in the future will get me into the 10's with a 2.9 0-60! Nothing compared to your new baby but I'm sure you can imagine your old S5 running like that!
Daaaamn you have a war machine!! Congrats! Yeah it was a 2013 glacier white Audi S5 with two tone red/black interior. That car was freaking gorgeous and that design still looks amazing and modern today! I had the new supercharged 3.0L V6 in that 2013. What year do you have?
@@PanTheOrganizer Yup same color and 2013 which I prefer over the B9 starting in 2017, got it off a lease with 9k miles. With the modded exterior the car looks newer than pretty much anything on the road. The interior is Alcantara, I couldn't do leather here in FL its just too hot.
Hopefully you’re keeping it clean too! If you follow my videos, my guess is that it’s probably super clean. 😁
@@PanTheOrganizer You know it, your tips and tricks help keep it tight and keep it clean!
💪🏻👍🏻
This is actually my dream car .the m5 is amazing but not as luxurious to drive . This is better rounded 🔥
I agree!
Nice ride but better than that pan’s words of wisdom. Nothing better than wisdom, period.
Thank you Kevin!
Twistys with few power poles and dwellings. Perfect.
What winter rubber did u run Pan?
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 tires :)
@@PanTheOrganizer the best.
I fully agree!!
@@PanTheOrganizer yep...deep snow monsters.
From experience the Bowers & Wilkins sound system sounds insane! How does it compare to the Burmester in the 911?
Very comparable! But the Burmester has a slight edge for bass. Both are the best sound systems I have heard from factory cars.
@Pan How often should you clear your steering wheel if you want to avoid it ever getting shiny? I find that nothing helps mine. It's not shiny like the majority of cars I see around but shiny compared to that brand brand new look. I don't expect to get it back to factory looks but as matte as possible. I'm rolling around 20,000 kms right now.
Once every one to three months. Like in my steering wheel cleaning and protection tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/ukIuqk8noyk/v-deo.html
8:58 the problem is under the hood where everything just breaks after 10 years.
Pan - brother! I've been waiting for you to pull up in my driveway with the BMW since you released this video. What's taking so long?? I'm ready to take delivery!! 😂
LOL!! :)
I have to ask if the 992 will see the streets during Canada winters or will it be garage kept?
I gave the answer in my reveal video here: ua-cam.com/video/PRGShr2fj1Y/v-deo.html
Hey Pan, is this going for sale at your local bmw dealership?
I have no idea what they do when we return a leased vehicle. I'm guessing they will sell it, or send it to auction.
Pan, what do you drive in the winter? Love that M550. Great car, but it's Porsche time man!!
I was driving this car all year round. It’s my daily driver. Same goes for my new Porsche. It’s a daily driver, not a garage queen. It will be driven in the winter. Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed. :)
Pan!! Great video!! You have to let me know where those roads are! Must be beautiful once the trees are a bit more lit up :) im from around montreal as well
Such true words about saying work hard and there will be something out there that will make you happy . God bless ya pan . Honesty from PAN THE ORGANIZER.
Yes! Thank you!
What an exit interview.. 😃😃
Thanks Pan.. You’re da best 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Definitely yes.. We enjoy all of your posts & videos & learning so much.. not only about vehicle detailing & products but also how to present in a proper way with most accurate & appropriate techniques & language as well.. Thanks for all that.. Keep up the good work.. And also all the best with your Porsche 911 it’s wonderful.. Cheers 🥂
Enjoyed the ride and review. And I was very glad to hear you talk about the long term reliability issues with German luxury cars. If you want one of these, you and Scotty Kilmer are in complete agreement... lease a new one for three years. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
Hello Pan
what adhesive remover do you recommend?
CarPro TarX or Citrol 266 if you want something more heavy duty.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you
👍🏻
I think if Pan did a Mastermind competition recalling facts, figures, manufacturers and model numbers he would win hands down...
LOL Good one Mark!! I like numbers, facts, stats, all that stuff! :)
