I felt he was not revving the G8x high enough to explore its full potential which is why I made the comment that maybe the G8x down low is not noticeably faster than the M340i. If this guy had some sense of professionalism he would've explained what's going on rather than have his viewers try to explain.

Inserting that theme into his video may have actually redeemed some of the damage he just did to his career prospects.

He tried to do the Doug Demuro thing with a dealership borrowed car. And like Doug, he took care of the expensive car for the owners and was a little bit more liberal with the massive volume produced M340i. There's a reason that press cars exist. Guilt free hooning. I doubt the dealership gave him the OK to hammer on the M3, HEA or not. |

RE: 440i vs M4
I'll hold off my opinion until we see a AWD M4 BUT....the M4 waking up at the top end basically illustrates why you may never see the difference between these two cars on the streets. And for some people the M340i/M440i will make them happy enough. And for those people we also have factory discount outlet malls where you can pick up a B Grade Canali suits for 3/4 of the price. |

Random youtube blowhard surely must demonstrate he's a random youtube blowhard. Pass.
I have an M340i and an X3MC. The S58 X3MC is faster for sure, as long as you rev it out. The driving feel from the M-lite to M car is exponetially different as well. The M340i is a mindblowingly good daily with very rapid acceleration easily on tap so I'm not discounting it but it's not an S58 powered M car. Taking the X3M and chopping out 500 lbs at massively lowered CoG can only do wonderful things. |

yep the M3 in this video def is in some limp mode for transit purpose, when I went to check out my car yesterday that hasn't gone through PDI the redline stayed at 5k ish... so i wonder if they purposely left that in place for his "review" ?
embarrassing video really if he missed this key fact, or he's just shilling for the dealer to help selling that overpriced m perf edition m340 for base m3 money... I see him defending himself in the comments saying he "took it above 4k multiple times", yea maybe to 4500 LOL

It 100% is I just saw all his started threads are of his own videos. No wonder he was so defensive and he probably wants a discount from the dealer for the M340i

I mean cool idea with comparing them, but then at least get:
a) your facts straight b) check that both car are on their full potential just my opinion on this video... Last edited by Scorp!on; 03-24-2021 at 04:20 PM.. Reason: more respectful tone, sorry ! |

He turned the video private.
This guy also claimed that the boot/trunk lid could be open with your foot and that he was able to do it. Has anyone been able to or is it more fables? |
