Well, Joe Achilles is also "some youtuber", just as the others. He's got no creds.

I think he delivers exactly the technical specs that I'm looking for, I enjoy his point of view, ofc I'm biased towards BMW as well, so he ain't exactly influencing my buying decision

When I was at track days in Sept they talked about how they'd be cleaning the cars between each driver. There was none of that. We were supposed to keep our masks on even though we were the only person in the car.

It's very interesting to me that BMW M division is trying to appeal to a much younger and wider population. As someone pointed out at 100k+ for a car most people would at least be in their early 30s - kind of like the Porsche customers. I'm not hating - I am also an "elder" millennial but I have a very good job and own 4 BMWs (two of which are M). I will likely end up getting the new M4 but seeing some YouTube "influencer" advertise it to me is not good marketing IMO..

Can’t argue that. You must be so excited about your new car, For me it would be comparable with getting my first M3. Maybe one of the last chances to be that excited again, if only I could justify $200k . How long do you need to wait, did you beat the crowd or are you looking at 2 years before delivery of the TTS?

I’m taking the Cayenne in for yearly oil service and repair of the central lock on one of the rear doors on Friday. Wish me luck to leave with a sub $1k bill... |

The Chris Harris/ Porsche video is excellent. Considering the 996 GT3 the Porsche chap references the e46 M3 CSL - high praise indeed.

Yes indeed, those were the days when a practical daily driver M3 was a rival to a 911 GT3. No longer the case today...

Sorry OT
Chris Harris driving his old GT3 RS 4.0 in the cold UK winter is still my favourite video. The car is so visceral, so full of life, so basic in its delivery of power and effort. My apologies on the messy link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv0Gr5gz1Gw |

This is what is missing from the BMW marketing campaign. The history of the car, how the new car is different/improved but still linked to the tradition of earlier cars. Porsche nails this, BMW has completely lost it. That is what separates enthusiasts from people who view their cars as appliances or a way to reinforce their "image".
