Redline reviews: M3C xDrive

AlexFL · 11-27-2021, 08:09 PM

The self-proclaimed car enthusiast still doesn’t know how to engage the BMW launch control.

Didn't use launch control. Also didn't take it out to the curvy backroads seen in other reviews from this event. Otherwise, good review.

0-60 in 3.5s without LC is excellent real world performance.

Lol clown

Yeah, this guy is a clown. My favorite was the "competition has a much nicer interior".......it was a package, available on the base and the competition. He just doesnt get it.

I also doubt he had the engine in sport correctly.

"The transmission is very powerful"

"Competition has bigger turbos"

My two favorite things I noticed

He didn't. I think BMW had the M1 and M2 preset for him. He mentions the M mode for changing the modes. He had no clue about the set up button. This video was full of inaccuracies and wrong information.

He's good when it comes to reviewing standard non-performance cars. I know because I've watched some of his SUV reviews while in the market for my wife's next car... But when it comes to reviewing a performance car he sucks. He just floors it in a straight line and laughs. Whether it's a Golf GTI or widebody Hellcat

Yep he had it in MDM mode which does NOT allow for LC.

This guy isn't the best by all means. But I do find the videos entertaining & have seen far worse.
