    I enjoyed the content. It's a lovely looking car. You mod it how you feel its right to you. It's your car.
    I have now sold my F90 M5 competition pack. Purchased a brand new X3M competition pack.

    Great Vid man as always. I am planning to wait another year. This time or a couple of months sooner next year I will buy G20 330D M sport. Also plan to make most of the upgrades you done. Like you said it's all the car a man needs. Cheers. ☻☻😉

  • @jeremy3010

    That side decal is everything for this car. The G20 side profile is the most bland profile of any bmw ever, but your decal makes it sexy again. Good call on that!

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  3 роки тому +1

      Exactly the reason why I had it on. Also my F30 3 series had the decal on the bottom so thought might aswell fit it to this too

  • @kerrwhatley4682

    My 330e is due in 6 weeks. You should do a test on that engine so how it compares to the diesel. Keep up the good work a d it’s refreshing to see someone putting their revenue into charity- well done 👍

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  3 роки тому +5

      Thanks mate. I was meant to go out in a 330e to do a vid before all this Covid hit. Yup 100% all ad revenue has always gone to various charities.

      Man sorry can I ask you what kind of money revenue is? And it's really great of you mate. A big heart you got, really I am impressed. But I have always wondered if a youtuber makes as many videos as you do. What kind of money can you make, enough to live of the revenue?

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  3 роки тому

      It's not huge money to live off unless the channel is massive by that I mean millions of subscribers. I'd rather not say how much the revenue is but it's in the 3 figure sum per month that gets donated.

    I'm thinking of getting a G20 in the new year. Been deciding if to go for the 320i or 320d. Seems no brainer as the diesel has better performance and economy but as I'm doing mostly short journeys latelt I have a slight concern with regards to the dpf.

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  3 роки тому +1

      In that case mate go for the 320i or better still 330i or 330e.

    How have the smoked tail lights held up over time? I heard vinyl tint tends to scratch up pretty bad just from the elements...are yours looking as good as they did the day they were done? Appreciate the perspective.

    I’m getting weird noises from mine, when I go over bumps I get this strange kind of compressed air noise. Also after accelerating on the overun I get this whirling noise. Never experienced anything like it. Good vid mate. 👍

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks Sean.....the compressed air sound over bumps I get that too.....its just the dampers. I had that in most cars so never really bothers me. Not sure about the whirling sound though......might be worth getting it looked at.

    • @stevesanders4071
      @stevesanders4071 3 роки тому

      DownShift Throttle ah so that air noise is normal, drives me mad. It’s not all the time either. Hopefully get used to it. I had a really loud grinding noise as I turned into a lane a couple of weeks back also, thought I’d dragged something under the car but when I looked there was nothing there, even checked wheel arches etc. Only did it when car was in motion, if I revved it stationary there was nothing. Then hasn’t done it since, well weird. Lovely car to drive but these noises have made me anxious. Great content though. Always watch when I see the notification.

    • @MatthewA7
      @MatthewA7 3 роки тому +1

      Sean Sneyd the noise from the suspension is completely normal on BMW’s, I’ve had it with my F30 and now G20.. dont worry about that.. also the whirling noise could be your turbo, which is completely normal again, if in doubt you’re still in warranty get it checked mate 👍🏽

    I’d the 320d MSport with tech pack for 6 months, it performed faultlessly, returned an average of 52.2mpg. I did 10k miles in it and sold at at a £500 profit to webuyanycar.com. I won’t miss the £475 road tax and expensive service costs. I’m buying a Peugeot 508 GT 180bhp, jan 19, list price £38k for £20k. Don’t think you can’t get a 320d at a good price either, bought mine Mar20, 1 yr old with 13k miles, list £42k, from a dealer at £25k
