Frankly, I came across this review by accident but I am struck by how good and informative it is. Keep on!

[@4wheelsandaseat]

Thanks Bart! Will do!

[@EastWood2004]

Wow Professional grade content. Keep up making great review.

[@4wheelsandaseat]

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!

[@theworkshopwhisperer-autom5566]

The laser lights look awesome. Great video!

[@4wheelsandaseat]

So good. Thanks for watching!

[@Blace5]

This was a great review very informative & clear!! What a extraordinary car!

[@4wheelsandaseat]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@roroguapo3]

also comes standard with water spots lol

I wish we could get those blue lights in the US. My 2021 just went into production last week. Hopefully have it in about 45 days. In the US the B&W sound is an upgrade, the HK sound is the standard option. Very happy to hear a software update will "fix" the slower than published 0-60 time too, I read many complaints but learned about the update from this video! Great review and I can't wait to get mine!

[@4wheelsandaseat]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy your new car as much I did testing it!

[@socommaster]

Why doesnt the us get those blue lights?

[@4wheelsandaseat]

@@socommaster Not sure, but I'm guessing it might be a design standards thing. The US had very different rules about headlights compared to the rest of the world for a long time, and it might still have something to do with that.

[@nc8444]

@@4wheelsandaseat I read that the blue lights are reserved for emergency vehicles but don't quote me on that. I saw a picture of the alpine white with those blue lights and it looks stunning. Really wish I could get that, such a nice accent. My car is "At the Port". maybe gets on a boat this week hopefully! Been waiting since April.

exactly same colour model red clipper and m5 seat as mine, really good car!

[@4wheelsandaseat]

It's an awesome car. Thanks for watching!

[@diegocajn]

Engine noise is pumped into the interior using the speakers ….they turn it off in eco mode I guess

[@LolithaBasnayake]

Mine just docked down under. Can’t wait to see the thing. Great review mate. Did you specifically ask for the M5 front seats?

[@4wheelsandaseat]

Great. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy your new car as much I did testing it! The car I tested was a press loan car and they usually option them up with as many extras as they can cram in. so they look their best.

[@LolithaBasnayake]

@@4wheelsandaseat yes they do. Realised they come in both sports and luxury seats options. Keep posting mate. Luv your work

[@4wheelsandaseat]

@@LolithaBasnayake Thank you. Another BMW review coming next week!

[@trevorjohn8385]

Thanks for a great review - mine's on order :) Just FYI the HK audio is standard - the B&W is a $6900 option

[@4wheelsandaseat]

Thanks for that! The BMW site can be a bit confusing. Hope you enjoy your car as much as I did. Thanks for watching.

[@whoseyourchef2160]

Good luck getting one. I ordered one in the middle of February and it moved to quality check on the 12th of June and has been in that status ever since. Not sure if it makes any difference but I'm in the USA.

[@4wheelsandaseat]

@@whoseyourchef2160 Yeah there is a bit of a worldwide shortage of new cars and demand is quite high.

[@creamy4798]

@@whoseyourchef2160 you get your car yet?

[@whoseyourchef2160]

@@creamy4798 yes, took delivery in the middle of October, 250 days from order to delivery 😫

[@socommaster]

Its unfortunate that they removed night vision and rear seat entertaimment

[@ashleyhaine3361]

Good review bro 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@4wheelsandaseat]

Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelb4525]

Dont believe it has a mild hybrid function on this model

[@brianpalay2]

1:19 One of my favorite BMW wheel designs ever, really. I want an M550i and if I do get one, it must have those wheels, or I'll swap them.

[@4wheelsandaseat]

They are very nice! Thanks for watching.

[@verde629]

Crazy how much this car is now. A cpo model is almost half the price now. I’m hindsight if financing new M5 would be the better choice lol. Good for me though who can get a 21 m550i model for 55k lol
