Hey Guys It's Joel!
My Friend Ben bought an E89 BMW Z4 35iS. Currently the 'top of the range' Z4, the 35iS packs an impressive 340bhp!
Incredibly, Ben was more than happy to let me have a go. In this video, inspired by The Smoking Tyre's 'One Take' videos, I give you my first impressions of the BMW Z4 35iS from behind the wheel!
Enjoy!

Really hope you guys enjoy this one! Thanks to Ben for making it happen! Sorry about the render error @15:57

[@lindseywillis2424]

It's Joel literally all you have to do to be less of a plagiarizer is take out the words “one take.” Recognize the talent that has come before you and respect their intellectual property.

[@james6236]

Better quality than most big car youtubers tbh

[@itsjoel]

James Featherstone thanks James!

[@DataRew]

cuz he stole The Smoking Tire/ Matt Farah's format.

[@james6236]

rainbowblack1 literally couldn’t have anything less to do with the “quality” of the video you small minded lad, plus last time I checked there was no copyrighting on the format anyway ahah

[@lukej2756]

Update: Just bought one of these thanks for the insight boys fkn love my new car lmao cheers

[@itsjoel]

Awesome Luke, enjoy it!

[@matthewaceves3716]

Great video. Don’t mind the haters. It was well shot and edited. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more. Subscribed!

[@itsjoel]

Matthew Aceves thanks Matthew!!

[@daanoverdelinde476]

man what a quality video i loved the cinematic at the start thanks

[@OllyT555]

41 dislikes WTF!? I personally see nothing wrong with using someone else's video format, seeing as you have mentioned the Smoking Tire in your video. People on KZbin these days are so quick to judge and not appreciate the effort that's been put into making this. That opening sequence was pure bliss imo! Don't worry about the dislikes mate, I thought the video was epic!

[@itsjoel]

OllyT555 thanks mate, appreciate the kind words!

[@jaylemmons3977]

agreed

[@charliethompson4236]

Great Video! Gutted....you were just down the road from me (2 minutes....I know the roads around here so well...and love it in my old E85). BTW...the Orange "Capri"....is actually my mate in his STUNNING Mk2 Escort RS .... keep up the good work

[@itsjoel]

Russ Gordon no way mate what are the chances of that! Thanks for watching, could you actually let me know the name of this road? I was genuinely looking for it again recently cause I wanted to film there again, but couldn’t find it!

[@bydandpilot343]

It’s the B4494 Wantage to Newbury Road. It’s a favourite with bikers and Sports cars fans (and I get to drive/ride it nearly everyday!!). I ought to get some footage of my old Z4 👍

[@itsjoel]

Bydand Pilot you’re a legend! Thank you!

[@benedictdonald4338]

this car is a vision of beauty.....simply gorgeous.

[@lukej2756]

Amazing car. Was tossing up between getting this or an M3 but this looks like wayyy more fun. Honestly it looks better than an M3 too, and those crackles and pops are just so so good. Great video lads, thanks for sharing just how awesome this car is

[@thepericlesof8449]

Thanks Joel, now i'm gonna buy another one. Great vid!

[@barrydraper]

I liked the video content. It's nice to see a newer and quicker, Z4 on steroids.

[@rja12]

Last month I found a 2012 Z4 E89 35i M-Sport that only had 7,000 miles. It was only driven occasionally on nice weekends and always garaged...in fact it had never seen the rain. I just had to buy it. Very fun car.

[@itsjoel]

Nice one, I really enjoyed driving it. It is a brilliant car, especially for the money.

[@nathanknight7090]

Great Video, Ignore all the basement dwellers, the internet is the only place they can pick on people.

[@itsjoel]

Thank you Nathan mate!

[@ForecourtFilms]

Wow. KZbin is a harsh arena. Some great shots in there

[@itsjoel]

Thanks!

[@pracawnorwegii8251]

its great see together in one spot Ben and Joel, how is see its nice weather in the UK. Greetengs from Poland guys

[@itsjoel]

Glad you enjoyed it mate! Hello from England :) thanks for watching!

[@sonof69star]

I didn't think much of this 35is before. Until I drove today. Wtf...it's a demon in disguise. Ballistic speed and the shifts are blistering fast! How the fcuk this car is so underated!?

[@jeremyhowes2399]

Really enjoyed the video, thank you for posting.

[@itsjoel]

Thanks for watching Jeremy!

[@kenchumah9497]

I own same car Z4 35is. It’s a thrill driving this car on an open road with the top down. The looks you get is unending. You could have shown us the dashboard to see how fast you were driving 🤣 also using the - & + paddles and the gear knob shifts. Thanks

[@skeggythunder3882]

That Capri at 5:56 was a Mk2 Escort, I had one as my first car (many moons ago!)

[@itsjoel]

How awesome!

[@MrRoyck10]

Nice video, thanks Joel!

[@tomdawe9964]

Sorry but this guys editing is second to none, it’s so good!

[@itsjoel]

Thanks buddy!

[@Mr2boosted]

Holy shit that looked like fun!!! Got me a z4m roadster a few months ago, loving it!

[@jimmy92goodwin]

I dare you to start the next video with "I'm Matt Farah", send one of these trolls into a full on coma 😂. So many things in life that are worth getting wound up about and yet here we are 😂

[@Krezo200]

i just love the e89 and the n54 together? unbeatable

[@itsjoel]

Such a great combo

[@lukej2756]

15:57 "click analyze to begin" my boi on that premiere warp stabiliser

[@nathangregory_]

Have you tried to place this Z4 against the Z4 M Roadster? I believe it's the same BHP except the roadster is a manual.

[@JustDriveFlatOut]

I think this is your best video mate ;)

[@itsjoel]

Thanks mate; I’ve just subscribed to your channel :)

[@JustDriveFlatOut]

We should shoot a video together one day ;)

[@JustDriveFlatOut]

It's Joel I live in Cambridge

[@itsjoel]

Yeah we definitely should, shoot me an email and we can organise something!

[@jaylemmons3977]

awesome video man

[@itsjoel]

Thanks Jay!

[@madcatmk3]

You also get a bunch of looks in this car. It's rare and people aren't used to it. I've noticed valets will park it at the front ahead of Porsches, Maserstis and other far more expensive cars.

[@itsjoel]

Yeah, definitely noticed people turning their heads.

[@pauloshea5483]

Great sound I have a 2.5is but fancy one of these, thought that Capri was a Mk 2 Ford Escort?

[@Jauzaah]

Shame that you got the hate because of the title. The video is well made and the car is great. I'm sure you'll get more views and some good feedback on your future videos if the quality stays the same or gets even better. By the way, you should move or make the other shot that shows your face a bit smaller. It's blocking the view of the road.

[@itsjoel]

Jau's thanks for your feedback mate!

[@endoplasreh]

That looks like great fun.

[@robertnaggie1515]

Brilliant program I’ve got an Audi TT to get a turbo and a Porsche Boxster 32 and this program makes me want to buy a z4👍

[@itsjoel]

Awesome, thanks for watching Robert

[@nedelmassry8446]

such a classic design

[@itsjoel]

I agree mate. Looks so good

[@macarows4014]

Wheels name or factory code please? Those look absolutely gorgeous!

[@TristanNoon]

That sound is absolutely stunning! Makes me want to get one myself - do you know roughly how much Ben paid for it? I'd love one in black with the red interior.

[@itsjoel]

Not sure exactly, but think these are around £15k

[@Krezo200]

It's Joel only 15k for a 35i?!?!????? Good lord thats awesome

[@daysofgrace2934]

I have always had a soft for the original and first update, sold my Boxster 987.2, fancy something a bit softer…

[@florianhebisch2407]

Whats the name of these rims? They are so beautiful, i want to get them too, are they original BMW?

[@ThomasJones02]

Where in Oxfordshire was this filmed? Roads look awesome!

[@itsjoel]

Honestly mate, can’t remember - we found the road by accident!

[@Tracertme]

PS> You don't need that key in the slot if you don't want to.....The "s" had a lot of small upgrades not to mention the 1M engine...

[@juderainsborough4903]

Those shots are epic !!!!!!!!!!!

[@itsjoel]

Jude Rainsborough cheers Jude!

[@Desilv]

What is the name of those rims.. bet they would look beautiful on the new BMW Z4 m40i 2020 model!

[@itsjoel]

I believe they’re M3 replica wheels

[@unixnerd23]

I'm just worried how much the extra weight (about 250kg) and size affect the handling on very twisty roads. Like the look of them but wonder if my old model suits me better.

[@itsjoel]

The handling was actually great. The main issue I had with it was how light the steering was and delayed throttle response. The older models definitely give a more immersive experience.

[@madcatmk3]

I have the same car. Switched form the RFT tires to Pilot 4S and it took it down to 4.2 to 60. The RFTs were killing the speed with poor traction and a crap load of unsprung weight.

[@itsjoel]

That’s mad that it made such a difference! I switched my RFTs to Goodyear’s on my E85 and it made a big difference too.

[@morganschapiro6847]

Yup, I never spin wheels now. Crazy how much extra they cost too. Forgot to mention, the very light steering is a feature is sports plus mode. I have no idea why. Comfort steering is actually the heaviest and feels great. Sport is a good balance. Sports plus feels totally off.

[@itsjoel]

Ah wish I knew that at the time! That’s seems ridiculous that they’ve done the steering that way round! It honestly handles a little bit like a Porsche 911, except you don’t actually have the weight at the back ...

[@madcatmk3]

It's Joel I see exactly what you mean there, although fast enough around a corner and you'll notice the difference. When I think about it, it's likely the normal and sport steering is adaptive and tightens up at speed, where as the Sport + is a constant amount of tension, thereby it simply feels lighter at high speed.

[@itsjoel]

Yeah, without that extra downforce, it’s not gonna end well! Would love to drive it again now so I could play around with the setting a bit more!

[@marleyjp043]

Another great video

[@itsjoel]

MJPW VLOGS appreciate ya!

[@JaeggerS-op9xf]

I don't know if I should get a z4 35i or the z4m. What do u think?

[@itsjoel]

It’s a tricky one to answer! After driving the 35iS I would lean away from the Z4M - but I still haven’t driven an M & your money is definitely safer in an M too

[@TERP4]

If you had to pick between this and a z4 m what would be your pick im in the us and the z4m will hold its value more

[@itsjoel]

I think if I could only have one I would choose the Z4M

[@MCJeffsy]

Whoosh!

[@lukesturbo]

83 degrees out & The Brits are cooking in the oppressive heat lmao

[@itsjoel]

Haha 83 over here is actually unbearable, it’s a different kind of heat and now where has A/C Plus, we’d been running around all day filming!

[@lukesturbo]

@@itsjoel just pulling your leg mate all in good fun. cheers

[@jameshayward3842]

About as much innuendo as one video can take!

[@patmald]

Good luck. You're going to need it.

[@benhur_9377]

❤️

[@younow1511]

12:42 a 911 cabriolet with the roof up 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@gf328]

0:14 really? In an automatic?

[@mannsolo6294]

Okay I've been watching for like 2 minutes and I still don't have any idea what year this BMW is.... I'm starting to get pissed

[@supernik1991able]

Why so many dislikes? I dont get it

[@itsjoel]

Originally I named the video “one take” Matt Farrah, from the smoking tyre called me out on it and lots of his audience came and disliked the video!

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Good looking car, but only with a proper gearbox, not awful paddles.

[@PatiLabi]

15:57 Premiere Pro fail :D

[@itsjoel]

Yep! Haha 😂

[@M500VYN]

Yum

[@Das0s]

phwoar

[@deniseyoung9595]

You must be loaded thatcar would have been at least 20k

[@itsjoel]

It’s not mine! And think he paid much less for it than that.

[@deniseyoung9595]

good because i will be selling my E85 z4 that I only bought a few weeks ago and getting one of these I am hooked .

[@shiks98]

Come on man, name it something better than a One Take. Show some originality!

[@BrandonJ131]

Your content may be better than most. But this is no "One Take." Instead of It's Joel you could call yourself No Smoking Tire.

[@RK_Motorsports]

Do yourself a favor and remove the one take from the title.

[@itsjoel]

iknockyewus done 🌚

[@DMurphy802]

Stealing the name and format from TheSmokingTire isn’t cool. This is pretty much plagiarism and a huge cop out 👎🏻

[@andysixspeed]

Daniel R. Murphy lol. Are you for real? 😂

[@DMurphy802]

andysixspeed this comment was for when t was labeled a “one take”.

[@itsjoel]

Daniel R. Murphy it wasn’t intended to be a cop out. Just used the format of video as it fitted nicely! Understand my mistake, hence why I changed the title.

[@danielthomas2621]

Daniel R. Murphy get a life...

[@tampablackwing]

If it's his first drive, it's his first drive. Great content.

[@DataRew]

Good job stealing The Smoking Tire/ Matt Farah's format, tiling, and brand. "Inspired by" is no excuse. Get your own shit.

[@james6236]

rainbowblack1 damn he didn’t steal the Smoking Tire “tiling” did he 🌚😮

[@DataRew]

whatever man, he has changed the names of things now and though he's still stepping on Matt's shoes as far as I feel, Matt is cool with him so I'm done with this argument.

[@itsjoel]

Not even worth the argument at this point!

[@slidemx5]

Why’d you have to copy someone else’s style, title and work? That’s shitty and sad. @thesmokingtire deserves better

[@Juergen_Mueller]

What do you consider to be interesting to be seen in a CAR VIDEO!! showing nothing else than your boring faces, villages and landscapes for more than 22 minutes??

[@itsjoel]

Hi Hans, if you didn’t enjoy the video then why did you take the time to watch it and then leave a comment? I spend hours of my time and hundreds of my pounds making this content for free.

[@Juergen_Mueller]

1. I would be thankful if you could answer my question. 2. I didn't spend the full time for your video using double playback speed after the first minutes. 3. I left a comment to give you an explanation for the high percentage of negative evaluations and a hint what you should improve in order to avoid that.

[@itsjoel]

Hans-Joachim Schumann Hi Hans, I didn’t think you had asked a question? What was your question? The reason for the proportionately high number of dislikes on this video in particular is because it was originally called “one take” Matt Farah from the KZbin channel “The Smoking Tire” called me out and told his fans to dislike the video. I think it got about 70 dislikes on day one and has barely had any since, apart from yours I presume? I’m always happy to listen to constructive criticism, but perhaps from people that have watched the whole video! Your comment wasn’t criticism as it was entirely subjective and just rude.

[@Juergen_Mueller]

I'm glad to help you remember my question, it was the following: *What do you consider to be interesting to be seen in a CAR VIDEO!! showing nothing else than your boring faces, villages and landscapes for more than 22 minutes?"

[@itsjoel]

Hans-Joachim Schumann but can you not see how that’s totally subjective? You’re not really criticising anything other than the fact you just don’t like it? Many more people enjoyed this video then didn’t. This video is around 7 months old now anyway, you should see some of my other content which is more focused on the cars, perhaps you’d prefer that.

[@10water]

Don’t be stealing now. 😪
