This is one of the multiple reasons I am so disappointed in my favorite car manufacturer. All carmakers are just doing the same car with different badges. No one cares about that what enthusiasts say or want from their favorite brand. Cars are developed in the marketing department, just to make them look and sound pretty, fill them up with an overload of technology and forget about the reason this was once called “The Ultimate DRIVING machine”
It's why I am holding onto to my 128i daily driver for as long as I can. Manual seats, no iDrive, no nav, no sunroof with a few mods make it a blast to drive while still getting me 30mpg. Oh and none of the issues that plague the turbo motors (no wastegate rattle, no turbo failure, no HPFP failure, no chargepipe failure, no carbon build up). 6 speed manual, hydraulic steering, in a fun tossable reliable comfortable 3100lb car
It's terrible isn't it. I have a current M240i and if the new 2 series 2 door coupe looks anything like this, or if they get rid of the 6 cylinder turbo or RWD, I will NOT be buying a new one
Yaayyy, Trish is back!! I just think, she'd deserve like an X2 more than this, but I have my grief with new BMW models recently, so I'm just glad to see Trish again LOL!
@@aris1956 I think emdec55 means, that BMW has lost their spirit or even I'd rather say their ancestry... They used to sell "fun, driving machines" now their focus is on design and useless tech - just like Mercedes. My fear is, both got scared of Audi's (and Far-East manufacturers) success and started making vehicles (not even cars) not suitable for their pedigree. As a long-time BMW owner and enthusiast, I really see how they've lost their "way" in recent years, with the all-so big kidney grills, the ugly gauge clusters to the overall proportion and design of the new models - making them look like a Kia or Hyundai, struggling to modernize the factory look - for example the kidneys, which didn't needed that much modernizing, or the over accentuating the "Hofmeister kink"! Look at the overblown grilles of the Audi's, we're fine with those since they started making them about 20-25 years ago and they kinda settling in these days... But BMW are doing it now - so either you have a good friend at the management, or wait several years, when this will be over! Sorry for the long ramble..
Yesss Trish is back looking absolutely gorgeous😍😍😍like the car just don’t like front wheel drive BMWs but I understand they have to be competitive against other car manufacturers ie Mercedes and Audi and Vw primarily but rear wheel drive will always be best look at the classic BMWs
301hp! ...on a 4 cylinder! So impressive. I'm wondering two things... 1) are those seats also ventilated? 2) I'm also wondering if I could get my bike tucked in the back with the seats down. "Bladder Busters"! That's a good one, Scott... that many of us guys can totally relate to!
Have you sold any of these lately? Just wondering, did a test drive and it felt heavy.... The 3 series felt a little lighter or at least better handling. I don't know why, do you agree with this?
I have a M235 GC and I can confirm that handling is different because of front line biased wheel drive. I had a 330i before. Turning was more enjoyable in 330. M235 GC is more for highway and passing other cars. Also, the one they review in this video (and in most of the test drives) , has M Sport suspension (7:04 in the above video) , this is why the heaviness in the car. You need to definitely pay the extra and buy Adaptive Suspension. They have done a good job of reviewing the interior/exterior but they have totally failed doing the analysis on the driving aspect of it.
Can someone please explain why manufacturers extend the tail lights and wrap them around the body in modern cars? Like look how the tail light is so close to the gas door. I've noticed this a lot.
Do you know if this car in my country the price would be at least the double because the taxes an customs are to high more than you think even sometimes more than the price of car it self
I still haven’t found anything that will replace my E46 M3 this car is way overpriced Good video guys BMW must love you for displaying there vehicles in such a good manner
Nowadays 'coupe' pretty much means any car with a sloping roofline/coupe-like shape. Doesn't matter how many doors or the size of the car. It is what it is 🤷🏾♂️
Welcome back Trish, you have been missed
Trish is the real mcCoy, the original. Love seeing her in the relaxed pink dress.
@@kimtruong4676 awe thank YOU!!

Love the attitude of Trish ,she is beautifull but at the same time so friendly , i'm a new súper fan of this channel.
I have a M235 BMW is the ultimate driving machine.
Yeahh!!!! Finally Trish is back for the fancy touch that BMW needs. Thanks Scott for the video and thanks Trish for coming again to this channel.

BMW are certainly making some nice cars lately. Nice to see Trish again - we’ve missed you!
Great to see, Trish - sweet car!
Sweet and lovely Trrish i,m so happy you come back. I love you!!!

Jan Rjahhovski ill be keeping my M240i manual. Without an adequate small BMW mine is the last of a generation.
Agree with what you say but BMW have to be competitive in this particular market or will lose sales 3-5 series will never be RWD

I’m so glad Trish is back! I was very sad that she was gone for a while.
Thank you!!
Just bought this car. What is the optional boost to drop down the 0-60 time? Is it a remap of the transmission or more horsepower?
Good job dear Scott 👍💐 welcome back dear Trisha and beautiful as usual you have been missed dear ❤️

Sweet video Scott very nice car where is lady Lauren
Loveee ❤️ uuuu Trish ❤️ welcome 🙏🏼 back
Congrats on the baby Trish
is this temecula?
it sounds really good for a stock 2.0l 4-cylinder engine
Is there no winter in California?
not really..
Can someone please explain why manufacturers extend the tail lights and wrap them around the body in modern cars? Like look how the tail light is so close to the gas door. I've noticed this a lot.
Where did Trish go???
Dafuq ? Is that hyundai ? 🤨
U can still Not Afford it so what u Talking about.
the best 2020 school bus
damn i like that sound
So to open the hood, you have to grab the grill for a second before making your way to the hood and open it?
6:00 it has been a while hasn’t it lol
No. Trish was having a brain fart. Just pull the interior lever twice then just lift the hood.
Scott BMW Smith I know ;)
Scott: bring back Trish !!
Do you know if this car in my country the price would be at least the double because the taxes an customs are to high more than you think even sometimes more than the price of car it self
She is the most beautiful BMW girl
this will be my next car
So nice!
Nice car! This will probably be the motor in the 4cyl Supra!
willie_ beemin no, the 4cyl Supra will have ca 50hp less
@@vollcare4076 so b46/b48?
willie_ beemin yes should be B48 (whatelse, there is no other BMW engine in that power range)
Love ,TRISH!
love this Car and the Style of this Women
Well Trish had a baby, congratulations 🥳
Thank you!!!
Great Review Brother🙏🏾
Trish is back
woot woot!
I still haven’t found anything that will replace my E46 M3 this car is way overpriced
Good video guys
BMW must love you for displaying there vehicles in such a good manner
ugh seriously. hurry up 2024. I need to get out of my 2023xt4 and get a bmw.
Just a question:
Does Trish come with the car? :-p
I'm here for Trish
me too ;P
So we not gonna talk about Trish not knowing where the bonnet starts 🤷🏼♂️
Good to see you Trish 😘
Welcome back Trish..
hi thank you!!
If they do an M2 gran coupe, they better be putting wider fenders on it.
Brand new car~~
If that's a "Coupe", them I'm an "Attack Helicopter".... It's 2020, people! You can be anything you want!
Nowadays 'coupe' pretty much means any car with a sloping roofline/coupe-like shape. Doesn't matter how many doors or the size of the car. It is what it is 🤷🏾♂️
Pacheco lol I was thinking same thing
A front wheel drive BMW 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 or a available as the Haldex AWD fake Xdrive 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Sounds like a Audi to me
this thing has more pops n crackles than my m550i lol
I swear this must be one of the most ugliest bmw ever made.
Andre Tennis
BMW 5 series GT? 2 series Grand tourer?
@@aidenp5768 lol the new 7 series
With Trish inside No car is ugly my friend. But as soon as she steps out, the car is going back .
The rear is just wrong. God awful. Ugly. Aesthetically flawed. 💩
It's not a Ford?
Suprised you got a review out there so soon, arent driving reviews embargoed until the 19th by BMW?
Top car 😀👍
Not digging this car but I do wish they could have put those DRLs on the new 3 series though without having to opt for the laser lights.
Nice kia
Trish nice girl olways
I thought it was a Ford Focus at the beginning. I don't like the car but I do like your videos.
Great car for a college student..
where have you been Trish? i miss you
Well.....its, err.....nice inside
Great vids more revving, pedal shots, showing rpms and pedal action
The NEW mazda 2 sedan, bad idea... But Trish... is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, beautiful!!!
awe thanks!! :)
That is absolutely the fugliest BMW of all time 🤢
not too sure about the car this time but great review and welcom back trish ty both.
No Hoffmeister Kink?
S H You spelled it wrong, smartass
Well they styled it wrong
A bit disappointed with the FWD layout, but I suppose this car is competing with the CLA and A3. I'm still partial to RWD with a stick.
The A3 annihilates this in every way that matters to me, BMW should be embarrassed.
Came for Trish
:)
Nice car, will be a hot seller
TRISH!
Nice coupe exhaust sounds mean nasty wow
Blasphemy!! Come on Scott - don’t endorse this kind of car. It’s gotta have RWD and a straight six.
christofferh1 He works at the dealership..it’s kinda part of it. Although I do I agree I don’t like this car. Doesn’t look European to me.
Nice car awesome Review guys
First! ..... When will the new 4 series be out?
