Best POV youtuber 😎
YUP
MilesPerHr is also pretty good
@@kristians2704 Both are really good at what they do, which happens to be somewhat different :)
Amen!
@FilmAgent yeah, my other fav is Tedward😎
I'm enjoying your POV videos to the fullest, they are exceptional and addictive. I have been acquiring knowledge from your talented way of description not mentioning the great demonstration you express. Stay steady and consistent, I'm looking forward to your upcoming POV uploads.💯👍🏻
I love the chime upon start-up in the newer BMWs- it's so satisfying!
I really appreciate your on-point reviews! The design looks awesome, except that front grill. The interior (specially the color) is absolutely gorgeous too! Pretty good driver's car, like most BMWs.
front grill looking so aesthetic and my favourite colour artic raze blue
That interior colour is just wonderful!
the best pov youtuber ihave ever seen i love his describation also
I like your videos, they are very relaxing and the cars are also super cool, greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨❤️
I wish hardtops were more common, wouldn't want the top being cut on my 67k convertible.
I agree. Especially for cars like the Continental GT and LC500. Ferrari still manages to do it and their spyders look good.
Corvette
The BMW soft top has a hard polymer shell underneath the cloth so someone cannot cut through it. They may damage the canvas while trying.
Thanks for doing a review having the top down in the freeway! No one ever does that and honestly if I’m looking at a convertible I’m going to be driving with the top Dow.
Messing with the top while in traffic. Super flex 💪🏽
Another great review. Thanks, Chris!
Haven’t even watched it yet but I know it’s gonna be good
Love the grille! So retro! So BMW bold! Looks great!...Especially on the convertible!
BMW: It’s grilling season. (co-sponsored with Kingsford.)
Hope to hear a sound system test soon, as a big audiophile I love knowing which cars have good systems 😃
Not the convertible, but here's the 430i Harman Kardon! ua-cam.com/video/RZvznIz5we8/v-deo.html
@@CharlesDryer Thank you for the link! Good, crisp and punchy sound, shame there's no 3.5mm jack.
One cool thing, is that even after you are in park, the auto stop start is still enabled. When he shut the car off, the engine was already off!
Very Nice POV Drive As Always Bro, Also That's One Clean & Sexy BMW Convertible & You Have The Best POV Drives & Reviews.
Love my new 430i convertible - got black with wine seats (NOT RED) - i had the 428i convertible silver with red seats - just learning some tips
Can't wait for mine!!
The B.M.W Is Perfect
Beautiful interior
Hi Topher, how does BMW's lane centering compare with Hyundai/KIA highway Driving Assist? Thanks!
that engine sounds amazing for a 2L i4
Nice Video Bro!!!!
Love the video + channel bro.
Would you say the M440i/M4 are worth the step up in price from this? For a daily driver, not a track car.
This thing already seems pretty fun and quick. Just not sure how the others can be justified with speed limits etc. Love to hear your thoughts bro keep up the awesome vids.
Dam what a great Review... Btw the "roll bar" that he mention is the Airbags the roll bar is back the head restrain but only that little problem ( srry for grammar errors I’m Mexican
Call it an even $70K and add the inline 6. Also, add another option - shadowline black package to turn the grill black. Or add another $10K and a get a stick shift M3 / M4.
8:22 that sounded like a supercharger kit even though it’s turbocharged
The best commercials for dodge
$67K...Large? Damn! That's the price of a well optioned M440 xdrive! Also..I maybe deranged however I will say that the last model year of the 440 convertible was their best effort for this model ever! That is no longer the case. Too bad to... A all weather/season hardtop convertible with all wheel drive is no longer available from BMW. Still...A very good review my man!
Stage 1 on this b48 and it's good to go
Hi,is the roof enough soundproofing when it is closed ? , or it is tiring. Is there much difference between coupe and convertible?
Thanks
I like the front end
my dream 💆🏻♂️❤️
It is Like a BMW 8 series just a convertible and RWD and just a 2.0 Liter but the 2.0 liter is a good power terrain:) and I love BMW’s 8-speed automatic.
It’s not crazy similar to the 8 series in driving characteristics. And a four cylinder is too little engine for 70k
I love my 428i convertible
I would love to see a review of the Mercedes E53 coupe or the new 2021 E63 sedan. Mercedes is definitely winning against BMW in terms of exterior design. And their interiors always look superior.
If possible can you do a 2021 Jeep gladiator 80th aniversity limited that’s the car I got
Pls do a 2021 dodge charger srt hellcat redeye review
Real snappy!
The beaver grill is ridiculous, would look so much better with the normal grill
Americans should come and have a look at Dutch prices for the exact same car. This one started from around €75k at the time and you could easily spec it to €100k+.
“Crumb collector” 😭🤣🤣
This convertible is nice
It doesn't look like the soft top allows for any more trunk space than the folding hard top. It does mean less weight, but unless you're taking it to the track, who cares?
It would be great if you can drive the M440i convertible.
lol iv been watching for a while now....since I'm so early I guess ill subscribe lol
Best thing!
How do people feel about the instrument cluster? The way the speedo and tach increase toward each other seems counterintuitive, not to mention annoying. Maybe one gets used to it.
Yeah, you get used to it pretty quickly.
You can also turn the car off while it’s in drive or any thing else and it will automatically go to park.
while the car is in full stop right?
Why does a compact coupe have a kidney grille twice of my big SUV? Lmao
I don't know. But I think it looks pretty attractive.
@@Jdplayz-bq4ys Incorrect. I know looks are subjective but just no.
@@alh06 yeah but plenty of other people think it’s attractive soooooooooo
@@alh06 yeah but tbh all the people i have asked like the grille. I live in MN. Lol
@@alh06 I know.
9:30 The guy in the Ford Flex behind him 👁👄👁
Where is this recorded?? And why is everyone driving in the fast lanes? What the hell is going on in there?
Pleas drive the new Genesis G70 3.3T Sport!
Do the M4!
Soft top?
Seen a couple of these around here in north jersey .
Country ??
@@sharul1709 definitely usa
@@BeOz3 ohkey
@@sharul1709 united states of america my friend.
Ur affiliate link for the obd scanner doesn't work
Just fixed it, thanks!
I don’t mind the oversized grill. I think it looks kinda nice
Nice.
I have a problem with watching car reviews of cars i can’t even afford
What happens when the soft top is in the middle of closing but you decide to go 45 mph?
Things probably start breaking
Idk if it will let you pass 31 when the top is closing
@@TheTopher can definitely always count on BMW reliability 🤣
This my dream car in real life and in roblox Greenville
damnit that car looked so good until I saw the front D:
Bavarian beaver is the perfect name for that grill.
Dissapointed its a soft top instead of previous model hard top
My parents drive the hard top, wish this had a hard top option at least
test drove the M series I didn’t know it was more like $110,000 not 80 grand as he says. But I test drove the new Mercedes E class they have been redone inside and outside for 2022 so I chose that one with a six cylinder it’s just drove better than This. I don’t know where he got 84,000 they’re $110,000 The one I drove was just like this except it was the M series
Yea a new M4 will go over 100k forsure
Beautiful car, but there's no way I could spend 70k on a 4 cylinder. If it was an I6, I'd do it.
2021 rs7
The front end really does look like a beaver. Even the car reviewer himself is not too fond of the front end design.
It's tragic lookin
I think it looks beautiful. In person it is great.
@@Jdplayz-bq4ys In person it does indeed look nice, I wouldn't go as far as to say beautiful, but it definitely is not bad, people are overreacting. This is coming from an Audi owner too lol.
i love the new grill look - main reason why i purchased it
@@meccacourt2are u a chick?
This looks better than Audi a5
Prefer the previous gen just because of the hardtop
it was great until he said “4 cylinder” if i’m paying 50k+ for a convertible u know damn well it should come w an i-6 or v6 as standard
Faster then most standard N/A V6 lol.
this car costs 90K+ in china... and it sells like hotcake here..
Yikes, that does seem expensive! My wife just picked up a 2021 330i with the M Sport package for under $50 grand MSRP. Hard to imagine the same drivetrain in a car that is $17 grand more - I realize part of the upcharge is the convertible part. I do love the interior on this particular one, and the red calipers are a nice touch.
And yea, we've noticed the overboosted brake pedal too. I thought for sure my wife was having a hard time since she wasn't used to cars with touchy brake pedals, but then I drove it and had a hard time consistently coming to a smooth stop.
If I owned one I'd just back in everywhere so I don't have to look at the front lol.
Doesn’t backing in, make the front more visible? Cause the front is facing outward lmao
@@kevinh8737 depends on where you park I guess lol.
I honestly think the new grille design looks better on this model than the M4, still looks like an Alfa though and it’s not a good thing
I agree, I prefer this grill over the M4 lines going across. This grill makes the car look luxurious.
I know a lot people are in the comment section rn
Can anybody answer me why we don't get the Kia Telluride in Europe (also that V8 Americans) but I want that that telly
Maybe because of how large it is
because most people in Europe already think that the Sorento is quite big, also the Telluride only comes with a N/A V6 engine which in Europe would get a lot of taxes because of emissions regulations.
Ohh yeah I understand now thanks guys but can smn ship it ?
@@aziz7156 it depends on the laws in what ever country in Europe you are in
@@aziz7156 my aunt shipped her 2017 Sienna to Amsterdam, so it should work.
If only they offered it with a manual.
for 67k, I would getthe m340i or m440i
I need aconvertabke that can fit 2 passengers in the back like it was a reg salon. This is not it!
Jesus. Back to the Bangle Era for BMW. Guess they didn't learn from the last time. SMH!!
Drip car
My only problem is that ugly speedometer digital displays
This car is made for DaBaby🤣🤣
Test drive an older accord coupe!!!
He does a 2016 6MT in this video.
ua-cam.com/video/-qQKJsrI-Ik/v-deo.html
But yeah, nothing older than that
shades yeah, I’ve seen that one. I just wanna see him review an older mode because I trust his reviews. Im getting a 2011 accord coupe next month lol. Thanks.
Hondas are boring.
Vintage Triple X kinda I’m just getting it to use through collage. But the coupe is sexy
That instrument layout just ain't right.
Nice car from bmw but u know I literally don't like the front design.
4 adults, if 2 are leg amputees ;D
$53k. cant even option in cooled seats.
Wireless charging that hardly works most the time shouldn't be $500 option
I'm from Munich and we are traditionally really strict with all the stuff BMW does (especially most recently) and I don't know one single person who's kinda "OK-ish" with this grill design... SHAME ON YOU, BMW! 😠😁😅
I'm one of the few who like it.
@@qiranwang
Chinese like the huge grills. So, it makes sense for BMW and their approach to please the Asian market...
That front end is a definite no from me. I’ve owned 20 bmws and this is a stain on the brand, fix it soon or you will loose a generation of enthusiasts
I’m just
Its a nice car but why not just spend a little bit more and get so much more of a car..just my opinion
$67k my ass. Just get the M440i at that point.
oh god the face!
I'm sorry but 67k for this is just stupid! The germans lost their mind with these prices, it's hideous too did I mention that.
Just buy a used one, they depreciate like crazy lol. After a year or two its 2/3 its price
@@alexl.102 Yeah, but then come the issues and a run out warranty
That Hitler stash looking proper
Front still looks like rattikarl
That looks so cramped in the rear. I’m 5ft 6, and my parents have a 2016 BMW 428i X Drive and the back is horrible, really my only complaint about the car
