Definitely agree. The car industry has been questionable overall haha. Curious to see their direction for the next-gen M3 tho.

It's actually a cup holder and works like a charm for holding things vs the OEM cup holders: modifry.com/old/product/ch/index.htm I believe he stop selling his products earlier this year.

I did actually. And the building was called Shibuya Square. We actually stayed in room 311. Did the host wife also donate part of sales from the Airbnb to a school to a poor village in India?

@@nate10n at the time we got the Airbnb. I don’t think so. My Airbnb had a bunk bed. Did yours have one? I plan stay at Shibuya Square again on my next visit to Tokyo.

Ours didn't have a bunk bed, it had a single queen. Shibuya Square definitely is convenient since it's close to everything. I would probably try to stay in a hotel in Azabudai next time. I really enjoyed the laid back/slower pace vibe there. Wouldn't mind the extra room as well, since my camera gear takes up a lot of space along with luggages.

Thanks brotha! Stay tuned for the Kyoto & Osaka video!

If you pause the video and listen closely you can hear it 🤣

Need more of Those transitions

I've been slacking tbh, need to get back on the game.

Appreciate the feed back! Stay tuned for content.

Thank you for the kind feedback! Stay tuned for more content!

Hell yeah! Quicksilver gang. Still can't believe we ended up getting the same car

Thank you! Stay tuned for more content!

I definitely do miss the car, but I do agree at least it's going to a good owner and it'll be taken care of well.

Sony deserves all the love in the world!

Indeed that thing is a beast hands down. I love the M5 CS because it also has the bucket seats in the rear and I don't believe anyone else in the market is doing that. As for the LCI M5 Comp vs G80 this is a hard choice, but here's my thoughts: Performance: If you're looking for straight line performance hands down the M5 no question ask. But if you're looking more for a well rounded car that is quick and nimble (compared to the M5C), G80 takes the win here. The G80 is roughly 3-400 lbs lighter I believe and is a shorter wheelbase car. I see the M5 as more of the luxurious family sports car. Throw the kids in the back and hit a dig when the light turns green. One thing to also point out is overall maintenance cost in the long run. The G80 will be cheaper for parts/repair. With a tune the G80 will be just as fast in the straight line especially if you get AWD. Sound: S63 beats the S58 sound wise. It's not even a comparison. You either love or hate the inline 6 raspiness sound. This can always be improved with a single mid. M5 on the other hand... that v8 screams and pops. Looks: The M5 has the more traditional frontend with the kidney grills that just screams BMW. G80 has a very menacing look especially if you get it in a darker color. I've received many compliments from people and when told it's a BMW, they're surprised. Granted this was before when it first came out. Things are different now since there's many M440i on the road that has the big grill style design as well. At the end of the day, it comes to your current lifestyle. If you have a family to take around, taller/bigger person, or just want to mob around like a boss I would go with the M5, you will not be disappointed. If you are don't have a family, likes to hit the canyons, and likes modding your car, then I would go with the G80.

@@nate10nI would more or less agree with everything here. The M5 seems like it would make you feel like a boss driving around. Thing is, I’m 21 and in the uk my insurance per year for a G80 is £3500 around. But, as for the m5 I can’t even get insurance, and the one quote I seen was 18,000£ a year… so looks like it’s the G80 for me. I love the muscular m5 look and sound. G80 won’t disappoint for sure as the car I’ll be upgrading from is a 2021 118i

Bro at 18,000£/year that is insane. You legit can get a commuter/daily with that. Better yet, use that to get some nice mods for the G80. That's a big step up from the 118i. And at 21 and getting a G80, that's a big accomplishment. Circle back with me when you do! Excited to see what spec you end up getting.

Thank you! This one is a RWD. When I was in the market for one, the AWD was slowly being released and the mark up was insane. On top of that, there wasn't many with Carbon Bucket seats either at the time. Depending on where you live, AWD would make more sense. Here in Cali we don't see too much rain, so RWD is more than capable for spirited driving and traction control is very good. If I were to buy another one at this point in time, I would go for an AWD. No regrets with the RWD at the end of the day.

@@nate10n thank you for your response NATE!!! At my local dealer there’s an AWD NO BUCKETS AND RWD ONE WITH BUCKETS LOL HARD TO CHOOSE!!! and I hate waiting to get an order in and wait for 2-4 months for my car hahahahaha! 🙏🏼👍🏼

@@nate10n and im in Cali la 🙌🏼

That's definitely a hard decision to make for sure. How I would look at it is that buckets seats can always be put in. You just need to find someone looking to swap with cash on top.You can't really swap out the RWD for an AWD system. Have you sat in the bucket seats before? If not, that's a good starting point, because you'll be able to tell if it's comfortable for you or not. That will make the decision much easier if not. Waiting sucks, but at least you know you'll get the perfect spec for you. The option for individual color is always a plus as well.

Thanks for the support!

If you can find me a house in the bay area that's 450k do let me know. 😂

@@nate10n why do you take on your personal time to answer me, im just kidding 😂

Definitely agree, I was on the fence of getting one that was spec with the CCB, but the price tag for replacement if anything were to happen is a bit steep. I think the standard brakes is more than capable for a daily. I do like the look of the gold calipers though.

Really depends what you're looking for. Coupe vs Sedan. The M4 will definitely look more sporty because of the sloping roofline and 2 doors, but the M3 in my opinion looks more aggressive due to the rear fenders. I believe they're practically identical in terms of measurements. The M3 will be much more practical because you do have 2 rear doors. I think if you have the chance to sit in both side by side, you'll be able to figure out which one works better for you. That's what I did and felt the M4 was a bit too long for me personally.

I spend a good amount of time cleaning my wheels and using products to remove the brake dust, but it still comes back after a while. It hasn't been too bad lately because I did the hard stop method a few times. But honestly, with the windows up and music playing, you don't really hear it as much. I'll give Colourlock leather cleaner a try. You do make a good point about essentially sanding down the ceramic coating with just water & a microfiber towel. I can see it being a big issue if you applied a lot of force while cleaning. I try to be as gentle as possible, but the sacrificial layers makes more sense to me. Good looking.

I've driven this road a handful of times before. Especially on my motorcycle back in days bombing through the curves. As I got older, I started not to go as crazy and just enjoy the scenic drive along with the car. I'm not surprised that there are some really spirited drivers out there hitting up the touge. Had to many close encounters back in the day for me to really want to push things unless it's on the track. Life is too precious.

Thank you and I appreciate your feedback! I do find it hard to always make car content, since my life doesn't always revolve around them as much as I would like, but I'm starting to incorporate my personal lifestyle + hobbies into this channel.

Are you referring to the actual CCBs or CC pads used on steel rotors? Yeah, I kind of got over it a bit, in most cases, I usually have the windows up and barely hear it. But it is a bit hilarious to see peoples faces seeing an M3 roll up squeaking like a mo fo.

Get PSI SP1 brake pads, I hear they help ALOT with the dust. I’ll try them out myself in a couple months prolly

Thank you for the feedback. I'll def make sure to tone down the background music more on my next video.

Thanks bro! You can't go wrong with the M3 in any spec tbh. If you haven't already, def check it out in person if possible. The dravit hits different in person. And when you do swoop one up, make sure to make some videos about it!

I'm currently on a stock setup with just a valve controller. It sounds decent, but pretty muted. I'm considering a cat-back system as my next mod.

Joshua Tree is massive! Definitely needed more than 1 day to really experience the whole park.

My setting is pretty straight forward. I shot on pro mode with the following settings: 4K 24 FPS Exposure: Manual Shutter: 1/50 ISO: 100 WB: 5600k (I normally shot outside) Glamour: Off Color: D-Log M Focus: Continuous Image Adjustment: -2 Sharpness / -2 Noise Reduction Happy filming! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I do like the coupe for the slopping roof line, but have always been a fan of the sedan wide hips. Also, it's much more practical for me. Already have the S2000, so another 2 door car didn't make sense. Also, I see far less G80s compared to G82s around my area.

Any experience with the EBC reds? Just drove the car again today and the squeak is killing me. I'm really considering swapping out pads now to eliminate the sound. My buddy has Govee and I have to admit, for the price it's def worth it over the Philips. It's just I already have Philips around the house, so wanted to stick within eco system.

@@nate10n I get it, once you’re in an ecosystem it’s easier to stay in it. I have EBC reds on my front brakes (havnt installed the rears yet) on my G80 and front/rear on my MK7 GTI. I’m a big fan of the reds. I like the way they “bite” and the dust is low. I have not experienced any noise

I too wasn’t a huge fan of the front end at first, but after owning the car for some time, it grew on me. I’m not sure if it’s because all the other pros outweigh the con of the front end. Having a darker color car does however hide the new grill. But at the end of the day, look is subjective.

How do you like your genesis g70? I have 0 doubts you will get a g80/g82 by then. Soon I will be watching your videos about your M. Keep me posted 👌

@@nate10n Thankyou so much man for those kind words. And ive been loving it man! its fun for what it is definitely, and for a first car its been great to me!

Thanks bro! Appreciate the kind words. Keep hustling and make that dream come true. Stay tune for more content.

Yes I did, the car is pretty much fully optioned out. The only thing it's missing is the carbon ceramic brakes.

Damn bro, catless straight on a scat? Your neighbors probably hated every time you started that bad boy up. Did you get any fume smell in cabin running the catless? I totally agree with you having a muted car ruins the driving experience.

@@nate10n yea had to put em back on bc car was too loud. I still live with my parents over the summer and they hated it. But no the car didn’t have any fumes only time I smelt it was if I cold start it and let it idle in same spot you would get a wiff of gases if your outside the car close to it, nothing obnoxious though. I’ve had countless of people in my car driving around with windows down never has anyone mentioned anything about the smell. Even with people driving behind me they say they didn’t smell anything. It was the best mod I did for this car. And really any performance car I think it’s the best thing u can do. Your car with down pipes and tune will best fast asf and sound amazing. there is a big bmw scene here in NY and a lot of catless g80’s they all sound amazing.

Nice, I'm not surprised if left idle you would get a little bit of the fumes smell since the car isn't moving. I'm guessing modern cars are so much more well insulated, that the gasses don't get into the car as much. I really want to tune my car, but it's still under warranty at the moment. The S58 engine is super capable of pushing out some numbers, sucks that the only real way at the moment to get the ECU unlocked is through Femto.

That's actually a good idea! My next car vlog I will talk more about the carbon bucket seats. I got you!

Appreciate the feedback. I'll make sure to lower down the background music a few dbs for the next video!

Thank you! Stay tuned for more content!

Thanks for all the support bro!

Thanks Chris! You already know! Always trying to see how I can add clean transitions when possible.

You won't be disappointed with either option tbh. I was actually in the same boat. I went to checkout an IOMG one prior to the Dravit. The IOMG was a lot nicer in person than I expected it to be. The way the paint plays with the light really makes the body lines pop out. The only downside (personal opinion here) is that it's a bit too loud for me. I fell in love with the Dravit because of the different shades you get from the metallic paint. Once I added the yellow CSL lights, the car now just looks evil af.

Rightt I totally agree with your opinion dravit is just more lowkey and more menacing with the drls that also compliment the gold flakes it has

Yeah the gold flakes on the Dravit paint has to be one of the best I've seen for metallic paints. Keep me update when you end up picking one up!

@@nate10n will do!

My man! Appreciate all your support!

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely will have a different perspectives and a wider view for the next POV drive.

It's a Stradale Design GTS lip with M Performance sides. It's designed and made in the US. The carbon weave matches the OEM weave that comes on the BMW, so it's a plus. Also, this lip has taken a few hard beating and holding up like a champ. Still looks new since the day I got it.

No video at this moment, the alpine didn't fit behind the head unit. I wouldn't want to put it behind there because if you want to adjust the gains on the alpine, you would need to remove the whole deck. I ran it to the back of the trunk. I would always recommend an external amp vs built in head-unit amp. The reason for this is that it gives better power output, the sound quality will be better with a cleaner signal, and you can always fine tune the external amp to your liking. I find that usually head units are responsible for so many features, that the manufacture main priority isn't the amp. It's just a basic requirement most of the time to get some juice into the speaker for users not running a separate amp. While most of the time it will be better at powering your stock speakers compared to an OEM head unit, but it will not be anywhere near capable of a stand alone amp. The Alpine unit is rated at 45w rms x 4 at 4 ohms, so it shouldn't be an issue with handling a total of 4 speakers running at 4 ohms pushing out a max output of 45w rms. Amp choice will vary depending on the type of speakers you plan on installing. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

The kyalami interior is so nice! Carbon buckets are the way to go. I sat in a G82 with the comfort seat, but it just didn't feel special without the carbon buckets. What other mods do you have on your car? Maybe it'll give me some motivation/inspiration for what I should get next.
