Reading the full review, the "90%" specifically refers to the steering.
He gave the car 5 stars overall. He drove an xDrive car. "I'm not going to mess about here. This is a sensational car." |

I hope they did video, somewhere, somehow. I'm not sure he's affiliated with anything that shoots video, anymore, but I miss his antics.

Thanks for posting this, OP. I for one am happy to read an article, rather than have to watch a video (cough, 15 minute content-less no clickbait).

100% loved the show. I sometimes watch old episodes, just for the laugh.

I used to love the old top gear but never took Clarksons wishy washy advice on cars. He'd go for the convertible? Really?

As an early G80 hater and later convert, I totally agree. The car isn't perfect, but it's just such a great car.
Even Chris Harris said that down the line we might be looking at the G80 again and admit it's beautiful. I've owned two F80's and the G80 is just as good of an evolution of the M3/4 as any other generation before it.

I would have been real money that Clarkson wouldn't like it. Probably 'cause it's easier to assume Clarkson won't like something.

More enjoyable on nice days. Just as fast on the road, which is where 99% of M cars are driven. More enjoyable engine sounds. Looks just as good now that the roof is cloth again. If I lived in a climate that was conducive to verts, I'd have one.

A little off topic, but those missing his Top Gear antics, he has a show on Amazon where he starts farming. No seriously, he farms. And stick with me, both an off-road Bentley and a Lambo appear regularly. Good laugh

Another feature I found was a tool that gives you marks for the quality and duration of your "drifts". We live in a YouTube era now and this is the sort of thing that matters: watching kids hit trees. It's the future.
Oh, Jeremy.

Having owned a X3M with the S58 motor and spend some time in a G80 at Thermal for one of BMW's GT4 experiences, The G8x is crazy good. There are things I dislike about it, but no doubt the performance is wicked good.

Watch Clarkson's farm on Amazon Prime, I believe it got renewed for a 2nd season. I didn't think I'd like it but I got hooked and watched the whole thing in 2 days.
