Man, i've watched this review so many times over the years, his choice of words and turn of phrase is excellent, perfectly describing every aspect of the car. And so well delivered too. Top class.

[@kanobeez]

He's one of the best. He has been writing about cars since the 1800's. He's the Chuck Norris of auto reviewers.

[@z00h]

+kanobeez Chubba Cheddar is how old?

[@dre7370]

Where's he loacated?

[@kevinestaves7136]

kanobeez call him time immortal because I have yet to see someone live that long

[@dackerman123]

I can listen to car reviews by Csaba all day. Love this guy.

[@massari4u]

what a great car review for the average user, The host has a very good tone which doesn't make my ears tired. Alpina B7 is a great bmw .

[@CalvinHikes]

Csaba Csere... the best in the business.

[@guzforce]

Thanks for saying exactly what I was about to say! What a precision speech, detailed info and clear point only on we all want to here! Great video!

[@Heshamoc]

Best Review I've ever seen for a car, specially for BMW. This old Pal is the best for sure. He expresses his intensive passion in Auto's in a way of harmony.

[@yosam5184]

A couple weeks back I got the opportunity to drive a 2014 BMW B7 Alpina AWD. Wow what a driving machine. I'm a ole school muscle car guy and was absolutely blown away with acceleration to 120. This one was like new with only 14,000 miles but out of warranty. Tempting but no sale. If you get the chance do a test drive, I highly recommend it!

[@TurboRSV]

Csaba Csere is real sophistication!

[@FizzyMotors]

Csaba Csere is slowly becoming one of my favorite car reviewers. While I love every single one of Chris Harris' videos, there are too many reviewers that try to be like him. Seems like they all forgot what a true car review is all about. Glad someone is still making sensible, informative, and entertaining reviews. Great job

[@BentleyWilson]

An excellent review of one of my favorite cars of all time.

[@hashim11989]

I've loved the B7 for the longest time, and its such a pleasure to see a GOOD review on one. Finally! Thanks Csaba!

[@Osagie718]

Great review and adequately concise

[@bnote1990]

wow amazing review...he explained everything so well

[@alexanderchester]

Sir. I am a Brit that has enjoyed great in depth reviews on cars all of my life. I moved to the US in 2005 and have never enjoyed a review like yours since then. This was first class in ever way and extremely informative. Obviously not just good editing. You know cars and motor sport. I going to now complete a purchase on a 2014 B7. Fingers crossed I get a good one. Thank you.

[@gtboard]

Good review Csaba. Regards Gustav

[@camilopaulino6069]

Love Csaba Csere's reviews. So in depth and with the editing I feel like they're kinda dangerous! I love when he sits in the back seat behind the driver with the seat adjusted for the driver. It's a seat that's really overlooked. Keep it up!

[@mshl8188]

One of the best car reviews, I have seen in a long time. Sincerely appreciate.

[@kr0pp]

Csebe is an outstanding car reviewer. His knowledge, attention to detail and insight is unmatched by no other automotive journalist these days. Fantastic job, C&D!

[@ATBullitt]

This is the second review by Csaba Csere I watched and I have to say he is a very, very good reviewer! Excellent work!

[@s3ries3]

Very well thought out and applied review! Good job C&D!

[@mattt1737]

This review --one word -- AMAZING keep going,really awesome to watch !

[@TheTallRaver]

Fantastic review! Full of necessary details, interesting and straight to the point! Great watch! 👍💪👏👏

[@Zeekbdos]

Nice review with great history back ground, made this review very enjoyable to an elder enthusist.

[@reiknir]

This gent is by far the best English speaking car reviewer on KZbin.

[@chimachinda]

Amazing review. This guy is really great . I love all his reviews. So clear and concise.. Thumbs up!!

[@hejmuesli]

I really enjoy that you put so much detail into these reviews. I'm always left feeling that I have a really good idea about what sort of car it is. Keep it up! :)

[@GlossaME]

The perfect review...thanks

[@danvorobiov]

Thanks Csaba. Your reviews is always very interesting and informative. Good style. Well done. That right turn was fast.

[@cecilverde5464]

First time seeing this guy and love his review. This guy really know his cars and you can trust his review.

[@Johno530]

Really awesome review. I just watching these. Keep em coming!!

[@porfyrus1]

Csaba Csere's reviews are really incredible good! Hope to see more!!!

[@Kmancanada]

Excellent review, a notch above the rest in substance. Csaba Csere's extensive automotive knowledge shines through, as does his engineering background. I'd almost forgotten what substance looks like, with all the wiz-bang KZbin car "reviews". Oh, and I drool for the B7.

[@20ilunga]

Nice car and Excellent review

[@razvandragos5215]

Wow! Such a well made informational video! Thank you!

[@aarvin1]

Mate your reviews are so informative !!!! THANK YOU!!

[@noushyk]

You see a totally different side of Csaba when you listen to his reviews rather than read them in the magazine. As a buyer of these type of cars, I loved his thoroughness and his emphasis on what the car is and isn't. Many people think for this kind of money that the car should be a sports car, but it is not meant to be that, but rather a supremely comfortable luxury car that holds its own against many sports cars.

[@pmpbuhgm]

Well done, perfect review, very informative and deserves the thumbs up.

[@ceon1347]

I love this guy. His reviews accurate and not rushed, he gives every detail the car. I hope to see more like this.

[@wezzil]

He died

[@sleepersown]

Great review ! And honestly, the more I hear you say your name, the more cooler I think it is ! Your parents are awesome !

[@rodasrodas]

Excelent ! Kind of old style review but very, very enjoyable. And if i was searching for one of these, im sure this would be useful Thks Mr Csere and all the team.

[@madebymadic]

Whenever i see this guy doing some test,i dont care which cars is it about,i always watch!he allways says the right things and explaine everything you would ever ask!good job!

[@sharkheadism]

***** I can't pronounce this reviewer's name, but he did a great job in this vid I hope he does many more. Really like his style.

[@jsponson]

I love Csere's reviews! No British envy here. Please keep them coming!

[@iFilmSuperCars]

Awesome, awesome review. Thank you Csaba.

[@butt5810]

Great video, great narrative from the host. Thanks

[@Zeekbdos]

That hesitation is part of the adaptive feature, With out putting the car in sport and driving easy the car goes into economy mode, then receives full throttle and goes into comfort then remain full throttle sport mode. After flooring it its response will be greater or in sport sharpen up the shifting along with throttle response. Just a Journalist that did his research before the film. E for effort, still appreciated though.

[@fezzial]

awesome review, very honest and informative

[@MrGermancarlover]

awesome review and CARandDRIVER please make this man your number one review guy

[@K124B]

he really did give a nice review....cant lie

[@Tig-Wan]

He is the best reviewer. Very thorough and I love it and history lesson.

[@rare6499]

This was an excellent review, really entertaining and informative. The B7 is beautiful, sure it isn't perfect, but there's something special about it.

[@bidlymovies987]

Very accurate descriptions. I just drove one of these cars Los Angeles to San Francisco and his driving impressions are spot on. Car is very fast but feels like you have to push it to make it go.

[@lolpeopleism]

l like ur presentation very detailed and informative.....keep up the good work sir

[@vrmmmm]

Really great review. I am not even interested in this car much, but enjoyed watching this. Well done.

[@ilewsam753951]

This gentleman is very knowledgable, this is the review that every car review should look up to.

[@jlo6388]

Great review Csaba

[@HoiDongCuu]

i always like this reviewer. He is actually good.

[@michaeldunn5197]

Love this guy’s reviews

[@20ilunga]

Excellent review Sir

[@ammar0alkashif]

this guy is one of the best car reviewers ever, he know what he talks about, an over all he got credibility.

[@jazzarito]

I can confidently say that I am the biggest S-Class fan in the world. But I have to admit, I saw a white B7 last week and it was one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen, at least it was from the front.

[@dracdrum]

I agree very well done review. I saw one at one of our auctions that had factory 8 in screens for each rear passenger. Impressive car, just out of most of our leagues...

[@Doctorj63]

Your comment relative to the Michelin Pilot Sport tires is spot on. Great in the summer but undrivable in the snow and cold. They are on my M3 and it stays parked in the winter if there is ANY snow.

[@TurboRSV]

Legendary review!

[@autonathan]

You are a GREAT reviewer, Csaba Csere! I love the fact that that this car isn't a V12. BMW V12's typically aren't the best-sounding cars ever. This V8 sounds really good!

[@teniecelmare]

good review. i like how this man speaks...

[@ThePwig]

I can't believe how great this review is. I wish he would thoroughly review the 135i for me!

[@nathanieleden8209]

Excellent review.

[@yellow6ird]

Love Alpina. Great review.

[@sanjv1120]

[@nicholaslubatinsky9595]

[@52v33]

This is a great review.

[@alijalab]

Great job sir. I really enjoyed! Thanks. :)

[@baselmok]

You are greater than the car man >> i like your way .. keep it up .. Basel From Syria

[@behnambabaknia6843]

Alpina is a manufacturer not a tuning company, i know this is a very old review but still wanted to mention it. Shame for someone that does reviews not to know this. Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH & Co. Alpina works closely with BMW and their processes are integrated into BMW's production lines, thus Alpina is recognized by the German Ministry of Transport as an automobile manufacturer, in contrast to other performance specialists which are aftermarket tuners.

[@Duffman086]

Nice review

[@cboal1]

Thanks--again--for making an informative, practical evaluation breath-taking in delivery! While I probably won't purchas an "Alpina", yet, I can watch the video, and thoroughly enjoy the ride ! 'Zahc' P.S. I'd love to watch an occasional look at some of our truly classic, older cars, like the 1938 Packard ! 'Zahc'

[@Hazardiousmatze]

Lovely Review.

[@stoneeh]

thanks for the objective review

[@MyBlackcop]

Love the BMWs, thanks for making this :)

[@TQC6]

super informative. Now I know the difference between AMG and Alpina!

[@DonaldSeymourjr]

Csaba, I like you as a presenter. You're special and keep up the good work.

[@sk14126]

excellent reviewer

[@theokan89]

this guy is a legend. does anyone know why isnt he doing more recently?

[@aprilmustjune]

+Mulkyan what is his name ? Chubby Cheddar ? wtf

[@theokan89]

aprilmustjune haha chubby cheddar, Csaba Csere

[@emacemacii]

I remember 2~3 years ago I read his column on Car&Driver and Chubby Cheddar was mentioning his retirement. After all he started automotive journalism way before most viewer of this video were born I think.(His career began in the 70's?)

[@rickslick730]

That thing is a beast! "the Ultimate Driving machine"

[@blablaagag5911]

veery veeery good review thaks

[@ForzaFerrari47]

Great presenter, very calm and cool.

[@Reality789]

This guys is phenomenal

[@energymc22]

Excellent review! At 7:45 he mentions a slight lag on takeoff - surely "winding it up" with the left foot on the brake before starting should get rid of this?

[@michaelvickers89]

Great video A+

[@kiickinballistics]

Fantastic review of a true luxury German rocketship.

[@jamdc2000]

Hope Csaba can make a review of the new MBenz CLA when it comes out

[@zackhenry1151]

thx for posting very well explaination from well presenter.. but one thing he didnt mention "why its not good at all on snow?"

[@goatmonkey2112]

Thanks Chubba Chedda! I didn't believe it when I read the pronunciation years ago in an article.
