Well done young sir. You should do an update . Good or bad

Dammmnnnn🔥🔥..goshh dammmnnnn🔥🔥👍

I have a 2004 S80 2.5T awd. With 103,000 miles. Beautiful car cosmetically. A few issues mechanically though. Nothing to crazy bad. Just spent $1k on routine maintenance like oil change, brake fluid flush, transmission fluid flush. Early next year it will time to replace the timing belt and water pump. It’s the first luxury European car I’ve getting owned. I like it for now but with maintenance costs this high I know I won’t have this Volvo for more than a few years. Older Volvo’s are quite expensive to maintain. I’m not a person with deep pockets.

Or you can get a tpi sledgehammer, it eats zr1 all the time

I want an opinion of some kid that has had his drivers license for three years...Lol

You’re not wrong. The current Ford Escape is garbage. I bought one in August 2023, Active trim and 1.5L 3-cylinder engine. The SYNC 4 system is awful. I experienced everything you said in this video. That gauge cluster is horrible. I like having my Trip info display, but when I did that, it pushed the speedometer off center and looks weird. It was actually messing with my center of vision so I had to turn that off. The transmission I had was bad too. Going up and downshifting to 1st gear the vehicle would lunge forward several times. Then there’s the engine. They redesigned that engine for the EGR, and ruined it. Like I said I bought mine in August 2023, and got rid of it in April 2024. 8 months of ownership. Of those 8 months, it sat 4 months at the Ford garage waiting for a new cylinder head. The thing overheated on me after 1 month of ownership and put 2,080 miles on it. Happened each time I got on the gas and revved the engine to 4-5K RPM. Glad I got rid of it and got a Bronco Sport. I have Analog gauges, the SYNC 3 system is way better, doesn’t crash. Engine and transmission are way better as they are the older design of the 3-cylinder engine.

I heard you said "twin turbo" so many times and makes do this comment... it is "TWIN POWER TURBO" something that is way different from "TWIN TURBO"...

Looks more modern than the out going model. Is the engine sound piped in? I have a 2017 and it seems pretty quiet.

Such a bad review style

Beauty and Soul=old models ....just cant swallow these recent designs

How much does he want for it

BMW has LOST ME. I can't get on board with the buttonless gimmickry of iDrive 8.x, the lack of physical buttons, touch capacitive garbage, the lame and cheap digital gauges, etc.

Any funk?

Last 30 years I've bought 7 mint loaded low mile Grand Marquis. The most dependable luxury car out there. I drive to 7 different States to buy one. Mostly Park Lane Editions and also a rare CTE "Custom Tasca Edition". Mostly from elderly people that don't drive no more or who have past away "Estate Sale". The mint rare editions are getting real hard to find now as time passes.

unless we’re in back to the future, no ladies are impressed wit this , except old guy like me 😂

I have owned two vettes and the 2008 redline is fast... I got some extras and it fun to drive. Hugs the road, fits in my garage and doesn't take a lot of room.Love it.

Beautiful review! I like the look of the i7, but when the review consisted of looking at the backseat, and mentioning that you probably want someone to drive you in the car, I realized my eyes had grown too big.

Purchased a 2301i after this review. Everything you stated in the review was correct. The car is way smoother than it has any right to be for how well it handles. It also gets very impressive fuel economy, especially on the highway. It's not as fast as the m240 or m2 but honestly, how fast can you go on public roads? I would argue that neither of those cars would get down a back road much much faster or with a bigger grin on the drivers face. I see people with msport package complaining about the stiff ride, and wanting to change out the run flats etc. its not the tires, its the suspension that makes them so stiff. it you aren't tracking you dont need mport suspension. Even the base seats without adjustable lumbar support are fantastic and have enough bolstering to hold you in while hustling the car. All without being too narrow for a larger driver. BMW absolutely nailed this car. On top of that, I was in an M3 competition recently and the interior is very similar. Some better materials here and there but it's not that far off. It's the exact same layout......The regular 230i non msoprt is the one to have. One area i will disagree with the review is lack of steering feel. It's by no means an air cooled porche for steering....but it does have feel. The road tecture is transmitted trough the wheel....its a bit muted yes....but its there. Great review! You helped me purchase this car.

Bmw. Wendy

I owned a fifth Avenue up til a few years ago it was a nice car and the styling was fabulous ❤

Cut cost cut cost more and more cheap materials. If bmw is going down this road like merc, then I am considering other brands from here onwards.

no chinese parts.... GM in the corner trying to hide where it sources its parts

Aside from my other comment I wonder if this was more for the OLDER style of 7 series buyer, The ones who drove them but rarely used the back seat. The 7 series used to have the most spartan back seat out of all of the luxury full size sedans and was the least flashy looking. I wonder if that previous client got to old and stopped buying cars leading to them trying to compete more with the S class and Rolls buyers who would actually have a chauffeur, because I mean if you buy it to drive it, who cares what is in the back

AHEM...LAST GOOD LOOKING 7 SERIES

considering the subscriptions and stuff and the UI... I cant wait to figure out how to jailbreak the OS and do my own stuff with it... in minecraft of course. Honestly tho I think my biggest issue with this digitization of car interfaces is that they don't actually take advantage of the medium. I want to be able to make my own dashboards, have more options.

Too many uninformed kids doing reviews. Low subs after 2 years. Keep your day job.

What an ugly car! Inside and out looks as a mistake

Family member owns a 2024 X3 M40i. This new model is absolutely worse looking on the exterior, and the interior looks far less luxurious. The exterior design is one that to me, does not convey anything close to nimbleness or sportiness. Even if a car is heavy, or is big, it shouldn't LOOK heavy, this vehicle looks heavy and slow, even if it actually is fast.

Wonder if you forget to downshift when you slow down and stop, does it auto shift or it will stall lol?

Best review I've seen. It's nice to see the basic X3 rather than then the M. I like the car but wish it didn't look so cheapo inside.

The interior is nuts .. don’t know what they were thinking when the current gen x3 launched in 2018 that was a massive upgrade in quality. Now this is a sad plastic bucket . Bmw has no respect for its customers as Covid made manufacturers realize they can sell anything. Owning a current lci x3 this thing is a disgrace with cheap plastics everywhere

The painted-on, half-fake, grill is driving me nuts.

Sorry I’m not paying for a subscription to use something that is already built in so good luck with that 😂❤. Great review! Thanks!😎👍

No worries: most seniors who own a Panther vehicle keep their keyless entry combo in their cellphone, wallet or purse......

A long list of whiny complaints about a gem of a car.

I'm a true Cadillac guy and have been for many years. The Escalade is nothing but a joke. An over-priced Tahoe/Suburban for the rich that needs attention. It's the current Cimarron!! Nothing but a re-badged Chevy. But since it's an SUV, people buy them and spends way too much on them. Total gas hogs.

Dude you used to rail my stepmom! How have you been?!

Glad to see this model again! I used to have a 2017 238d, factory M Sport xDrive in Alpine White over black-fully optioned, and I can’t complain. Only regret is not doing the EGR delete and tuning it back then. Here’s hoping enough people buy the M5 Touring so we can finally see the G81 in the States!

Now instead of the legacy we have the VA/VB WRX and Levorg. They are about the same size as 1st to 4th gen legacies. Unfortunately Subaru lost interest in making rally cars with the STI hatch. They just made consumer vehicles, and pumped their old drivetrains into them. Slap on a pink badge and there you go. I have a 2020 model Levorg. It's a great wagon. Essentially a WRX with more space in the back. But hard to believe it comes from the same line as a GC8 Impreza.

I own a 88 also, it is #302. Thanks for sharing. Mine is an automatic.

And me to I'm glad the election is over and everybody has got their way and happy and that's all I got to focus on cars video games and loving people and loving my God and let's just move on

Great review brother

is this the same Topher who does car driving POVs?

Dear Car Guy, Rally Competitions are sometimes based on "stock" cars, WRX was created >>for that<<. Adding horsepower does not necessarily make the car better for that purpose. You should talk about their rally times improvement vs the HP increase.

Is 4.3 secs to 60 not fast for a full-size SUV? 🤔

The official car of middle age men who buy generic Viagra on line and middle age women with too much plastic surgery.

a constructive review to your review. dont continually divert to the m sport. concentrate only this model you like, and not the m sport you dont.

Man she's beautiful😍 I remember these new also and was born in 1989 and i'm a lifelong mechanic so of course i love my old reliable GMs. Currently my dd my 04 supercharged L67 Dale Jr Monte Carlo SS. I'll never let this one go!

You're also wrong about a lot of cars not having air vents in the rear in the 90s the 1993-2004 Dodge Intrepid when equiped with bucket seats and center console and same for the Chrysler Concorde, Eagle Vision, 1994 Chrysler LHS and in 99 the Chrysler 300M all did. Also the first car to have the manumatic aka Autostick in chrysler terms was the 1996 Dodge Intrepid ES and 1996 Eagle Vision TSI

Also your air shocks do not work if the car is not running so throwing your friend in the trunk naturally would naturally would still lower a little
