Thanks for watching!

I don't know what is so satisfying about these videos but I love them.

[@bentonmaxton7812]

i know it's quite off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

[@camdenterrell6208]

@Benton Maxton I would suggest Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@azariahalessandro5741]

@Camden Terrell definitely, been using Flixzone for months myself =)

[@bentonmaxton7812]

@Camden Terrell thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !!

[@camdenterrell6208]

@Benton Maxton No problem :D

[@LAWNLOBSTER]

This is one of the most underrated channels on KZbin. There is something so relaxing about your videos lmao.

[@zxcwjrf34r3eijwererf]

Boy the moment you hit the gas to start moving it looked like a 747 taking off!!!

[@swasho2939]

What perfect weather and scenery to drive.

[@estebanmuneton182]

Chris, to be honest man I really envy your job, its really amazing, can drive those cars for a couple of days and not just hours. I always use my headphones... makes the sound much better. Keep posting these kinds of videos, great job!!

[@aritruths1452]

Best driving impressions hands down. Just love the way he doesn't block the speed tachometer like other youtubers lol

[@Veyronp87]

the spec is beautiful. dark green with light interior and bright wood trim

[@dresswatch4139]

Your upload schedule works perfect with my sleep schedule, as soon as I wake up BAM a new video.

[@SMLPlushShows]

I love watching these reviews that I can't not afford!

[@jtlovespi2493]

I’m new to the channel, and like what I see. The POV combined with binaural audio makes watching your videos all the way through *completely* worth it. Especially your enthusiasm! More below: I’m not sure if you take requests, but if you do, I’d love for you to consider the *2018 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5 L.* It sports a new design different from years before. It’s definitely a car I’m interested in, and I’d love to get your perspective on it. ESPECIALLY the acceleration on the 4-Cylinder engine!

[@HealthyCriticism]

have you ever been stopped by cops for speeding while making a video?

[@smartkid1201]

Love the startup chime!

Nice video! 👍🔥👍🔥

[@minx4683]

I've watched an unreal amount of your videos and I don't think I've heard the excitement you displayed during the launch at 5:25 in any of them. Amazing! 🤘😎

[@TheTopher]

That launch genuinely caught me off guard! lol second time around I was ready 😂

[@weirdshibainu]

Only change for me would be to change to the saddle tan interior. The green paint is classic Alpina.

[@speakingtruths4215]

Man, that wood is beautiful. At the same time , this car is going to depreciate at a monumental rate. Wouldn’t be surprised if you could get one of these for 75k with under 15,000 miles in a few years.

[@14DENISS88]

True for the US, but not so for Europe.

[@alh06]

@@14DENISS88 Still applies in Europe, but not so much

[@14DENISS88]

@@alh06 problem is, new cars are like technological powerhouses, which means more gremlins in the future :D. I think, they will depreciate more than before.

[@ashwin7461]

ey I love Alpina

[@Aaronaitor]

That thing gets better fuel economy than my V6 Buick.

[@nicholasbrown8384]

I prefer your reviews to the others. You strike the right balance between commentary and focusing on the car, and your videos don't annoy me (which is rare, because I have sensitive ears and get irritated somewhat easily) 🙂

[@keweenawbee]

Looks like your steering wheel is a tick off-center like our G01 was until we finally had it corrected. Drove me crazy. Think maybe one the testers jumped a curb?

[@Anthony-zt1zs]

I'm sold.

[@blankuser1321]

when he calls a Samsung tablet an "ipad like device" lol

[@DeltaEagle7700]

Impressive truly! Yeah, that's the freaky thing about BMW's--you can't tell how fast you're going unless you look at the speed gauge. You think you're going 45M, but in reality you're going 70! lol

[@automotivetvchannel]

wow 😮👍

[@leveraged6694]

6 good months of fun before sh@t starts breaking.

[@williamlong2682]

Love the Alpina treatment. Hope BMW applies it to more of their models like the 5 and the 8. I feel like it’s better suited to the bigger Beemers than the M treatment is.

[@aryapradhanad186]

they do make an alpina b5, just not available on the us. oh and the b8 is coming soon as what i've heard

[@HansGurke44]

This is not a treatment by BMW, it's by Alpina. Alpina is a seperate company.

[@HeavenWatch]

Such a beautiful day any rental would do it for me, just start up and go!...no hassle heaven...

[@ram..7026]

Change my mind this is a better daily driver than a crown Victoria

[@tungaabayarmaa]

It got Bowers & Wilkins tho?

[@w.min91]

Pls test the sound system in every video pls tyty

[@arefinsiddique5006]

What's the highest price of this car and what else can I get?

[@socrates260]

By the way, the doors should be soft closing

[@alrickshaw2227]

He sounds like a pilot 😅

[@harryli6138]

where do you live bro... empty highway and literally no cops and you stay below 80mph, with this car I would go for 130mph at least. Even in LA, I pull with my X6M whenever there is a gap to around 120 or so.

[@jtlovespi2493]

He lives in Michigan. Also, everytime I go up to LA, the place is crowded with traffic. Not sure how you get the chance to go 120+. If you want open road freeways, Monterey Bay is worth looking at.

[@finwaydiddy1977]

Man I would love one of these but, all I read about is horror stories with maintenance

[@DoSum4Me]

Okay, Audi needs to give you a new S8 to test as well haha.

[@user-ml7ly6uc1c]

The steering almost touches the knees

[@anonymous-sy8ev]

Afraid of 100mph?

[@naveednazer1239]

Manh how much does that alpina cost

[@rickyalfaro4417]

Naveed Nazer 007 156,000$ American

[@Pantallideth94]

Does the car come standard with salmon pants and moustache wax?

[@Trance88]

What the heck is Alpina?! This is the first time I've ever heard of this brand/trim level. Obviously a car for the ultra rich. Damn its fast. It makes a Dodge Hellcat look like a kitten.

[@dmitry8340]

Man why you always look to the right first, before moving, on a STOP sign? Shouldn't you look to the left first :D ? Are from England/Australia? 10:22

[@clayton8or]

Since turning right, he checks right first as there should not be anything in his way except for the rare cyclist/walker, and then left until he turns to check for oncoming vehicles.

[@Userl-lm2qh]

Dmitry I do that as well (in the U.S.) to check for people that might start crossing from the right side, and if there are none, I look left to see if there are any cars coming (if it’s a red light for me or stop sign) so I can make the right turn.

[@metrichawk3008]

Besides that, the amount of time spent standstill is just ridiculous. He literally spent 4, maybe 5 seconds to check for traffic when that could've easily been done before even reaching the juction. That's why people need 200+ HP cars in the US so they can make up the time wasted on BS like this.

[@L4tinoR4g3]

Among the least reliable cars you can buy but besides the wood it's a nice car.

[@deanzukafli1636]

I only can see depreciation in this after 3 years

[@khalifabdul-samaad1426]

And high maintenance costs

[@MauriceBln1]

You have bad roads there.

[@TheTopher]

They’re terrible

[@axltitude3053]

Yeah, I'm from Michigan and the roads could be better. Right outside my house they are doing the roads and it's great but now the traffic is bad so you can't win.
