[@darnishidzhar]

Driven is coming back home 🙌🏻🙌🏻 btw love the features of that car tough

[@urbanmystify]

Good job Hafriz, I like this kinda drive and review videos. Maybe to reduce nervousness, just let the details flow and don't bother too much with stats. Keep it up!

[@idawan09]

Nice and fresh review bro, keep it up

[@Yath_C]

Can't wait for the Driven comparison

[@yptan2010]

Does it come with BMW steering & lane control assistant ? Or just active cruise control? Great review btw!

[@kaeshavnair5331]

Nice video hafriz. Bt u could have told about d fuel economy n bootlet space. Tq

[@kevcrave]

love the bmw changed gear shift up whenever i stepped on the accelerator

[@oumaniac]

So they went back to the E39 in terms of handling/comfort balance?

[@porchelvansantheran2791]

can't wait for driven

[@wwyk1993]

The Samsung "eye-tracker" thingy is a legit replacement for fingerprint unlock and it actually works, not a gimmick.

[@hafrizshah4937]

So does BMW's gesture controls - it works. Whether it will become a primary method of in-car controls in the near future, we'll have to wait and see ;)

[@wwyk1993]

Yes, the gesture control remains a gimmick for now, but Samsung's iris scanner is not a gimmick already.

[@elmyraelers5844]

please do bmw 528i m sport!!!

[@Kenzo9063]

It needs a sport exhaust like the ones from akrapovic

[@peterambrose2148]

Nice review but just curious about the materials tou, a lot of other reviewers say it has the best materials and build quality in its class. im so confused now.

[@hafrizshah4937]

It's all subjective I would say. A few things that could be done better, I think, are the bare (not gloss black) plastic buttons on the steering wheel and centre console - the feel and texture feel a little off, not as good as those in the F10. These same buttons are given a metal-look finish in the G11/G12 7 Series. The door handles and the outer panels of the front centre tunnel, meanwhile, are covered in Dakota leather, but they feel very hard to the touch. These bits pop out at me immediately. Another thing is that our G30 misses out on the leather-covered dashboard and door cards option. My personal pet peeve, but it does lift up the appearance of the cabin considerably.

[@derrickgoh9567]

About the other reviewers... you cannot expect someone who is not used to luxury cars to review them properly. Anything above the usual Proton/Perodua/Honda level of stuffs will be like WOW! I LOVE IT! to them.

[@hafrizshah4937]

I drive a C300 sedan, not the Coupe ;)

[@peterambrose2148]

Hafriz Shah Nice!

[@resortk7548]

Is it sophisto grey?

[@therock1818]

Nice!! But how 'bout the exhaust, its fake one or what????

[@joshuadoliveiro]

Good review. 7/10 but would give 8 or 9/10 if it was under 10 minutes.

[@rithen]

What Color is this bro?

[@anoopvettath]

BMW is all about driving performance not glossy finishes like Mercedes!! If it is for performance, BMW heads the game. Indeed Sheer Driving Pleasure...

[@hasifaiman]

Always Tasik Subang SJMC shooting location... No other place is it?? HAHA

[@hafrizshah4937]

Yep, it was convenient, and the weather wasn't kind to us. As you can see, it rained halfway through the shoot

[@vikimlakar1019]

What colour is the car?

[@hafrizshah4937]

Sophisto Grey Brilliant Effect exterior, Cognac Dakota leather interior.

[@sauravrawat4795]

Bro i want work with u plz

[@olddirtytshirt666]

In my opinion, the 19 inch are worth the very slightly harsher ride

[@anoopvettath]

[@gottgaame]

The volvo is ranked 8th in its class in the USA no where near the bmw 5 series

[@keluargasyed5412]

pls review how to get money to buy this expensice car? haha

[@greenboychan4465]

anyhow..yur shirt killed bro..ulala..mamamia...maybe next month will grab one the 2018 models..with xtra 2 years warranty fom bmw..still negotiating the price..asking for 200k from previous owner

[@sime290388]

This is the best quality material compared to f10 predecessors..

[@Rayshanto2701]

Now i understand why the Myvi so popular in Malaysia. It's fkkin everywhere 😂😂

[@Rayshanto2701]

Our Avanza has reached that milestone 4 years ago 😂😂

[@wwyk1993]

It isn't popular because it's everywhere, it's everywhere because it is popular. You still don't understand why it's so popular, me neither.

[@Rayshanto2701]

well, not all stuff that's everywhere are popular. a floor tile, for example. never heard anyone said "damn, that floor tile is so popular"

[@wwyk1993]

Yes but nothing is popular because it is everywhere, everything that's popular is popular for reason other than it's everywhere. Something is popular, that's why it's everywhere, get it?

[@derrickgoh9567]

have you seen those articles where they say the iris scanner can be tricked? www.macrumors.com/2017/05/24/hackers-trick-galaxy-s8-iris-recognition-authentication/

[@VickEian]

I think you don't need to tell us about all those performance numbers, I can tell you have been trying to memorise them and recite them in the video (dang, it's dangerous also) actually we can just read about that. Just tell us how it feels, and leave everything else off the vid.

[@hafrizshah4937]

Vick Eian Thanks for the feedback. Still working out the concept ;)

[@vincentchiang4432]

He won’t highly recommended this car !! You know why ? Because he is driving C300.

[@beslemeto]

What?This car has more comfort than E-Class?You have to be kidding me!

[@TheSpoon2272]

Even Bobby Ang said so.Why dont you give it a try and tell us your experience

[@whateverrrrrr123]

You need a drink bro

[@elwinbu5926]

a merc owner reviewing a bmw car.... Hmmnnnnnnn......

[@muthulingamramiah5546]

Why are you trembling dude?

[@Vanguardkl]

1. you don't need 25 mins to talk about a car. refer KBB on how to make a beautiful, info-packed, and intelligent review. going on and on in a monologue for the first 10 mins at least is an utter waste of any viewer's time 2. its dangerous to film and talk and drive in traffic and highways. at the roundabout you almost took out 2 myvis 3. you can do better

[@hafrizshah4937]

Thanks for the feedback, Ollie! We are still refining this new approach for simple, quick to produce yet informative video reviews, so any thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Yes, the review could be shorter, minus a few bits and bobs and repetitions, that's for sure. We will continue to refine it as we go along. As for filming in traffic, I wouldn't say that it's dangerous, and I did not "almost take out two Myvis." Perhaps it may look worse on camera. Anyhow, yes, we will find an emptier road for our next videos. Point number three, yes, I agree too! We can, and we will improve. Thanks again mate! Cheers.

[@chrissorreda4982]

Don't listen to him. I like this, Harry's Garage, Bobby Ang type, casual review. Feels fresh and relaxed compared to the scripted rapid fire ones. Keep it up please.

[@gottgaame]

Chris Sorreda is the suspension the same as the 2013-2016 528i x drive ? Is there a lot of lean in turns?

[@MrJaakhin]

I do watching various of car reviews..and honestly yours among the worse..u only need 5-7 min to be looks as professional reviewer..those lengthy lectures are boring and waste of time.. That why u hardly get high hit..

[@azeemsimao]

boringgggg....
