[@wh3472]

Just drove a rental 2020 BMW 3 series for 15 hours straight. (Besides gas stops) from West Palm Beach Florida to Ashland Kentucky. And I will get say the best trip I have ever had. It was an absolute dream trip. It will be my next car. Always have been a GMC truck guy here. Drove a total of @2500 miles and all I want to do is drive it more. 15 hours on the road and got out feeling like I drove two mile down the road. no getting out of the car going oh god stretching my back and taking a minute to get my legs working again. I can’t believe the difference this car makes. And the best thing is it actually cost less than a friggin new GMC truck unbelievable. It’s around 45,000 for a new BMW and around 75,000 for a damn truck. Sorry gmc but you’re not getting my next buy. This BMW is truly the ultimate driving machine. Absolutely the best car I have ever driven.

Many thanks for an awesome review. It didn't even look like he was reading any script, but he memorised everything and could just (eloquently) reel it off whilst driving too! Dude know his onions! That was the most comprehensive car review I've ever seen. Didn't have 1:16 but I couldn't stop watching it. The review pitches it well ahead of the A4 and the C Class, but it does make you wonder whether the review was TRULY independent and objective, or was it just that the car is hands-down much better than the current opposition?

A fantastically comprehensive review, well done, thanks! I've just found a 320d xDrive Touring with the features that suit me, however does the X-Drive dull the driving feel - should i hold-out for the rear-drive only? Also in your list of considerations within the BMW brand you missing the Active Tourer (F45 LCI in 2019, the time of your vid), yes it dosen't drive as well as the 3er but arguably better than the X1, it also has better rear legroom and better load space and cheaper and still retains a lot of the features that come as standard or up-spec.

i find that whatever the marque, people on a limited budget and owning an older model will always claim that their particular model was superior in this, that, or the other way to the newer version car. no doubt as years go by and the new car becomes wihin their budget, they modify their assessment to suit their latest purchase. the 6 had it's day, fuel consumption is king now.

[@oddities-whatnot]

In 1989 I was driving a 318i auto (three doors, even had wheel trims NOT alloys) for my job, followed by a 325i convertible. Happy days. Ive had all sorts of cars since then, but to be honest I wouldn't get a BMW these days, they are simply far too common on the roads because most are leased, either as company cars or on PCP deals. They always get traded in because nobody will cough up the 20 grand balloon payment after four years to keep it. I would not waste my money renting a car, because thats all you are doing, and it doesn't impress me when I see anyone in them anymore, so STOP showing off everyone, its not yours ! The more expensive the car, the more you know its only leased LOL. To make my point, the 325i cost £27,000 from Benham BMW in Stockport, paid for by cheque.
