I skimmed... learnt nothing

Watch his Audi S4 review... Even though the gearbox doesn't work well with the engine and there's fake plastic exhausts and it's a diesel in the UK... it's still an amazing car

He has a strange perception in his reviews

In the preceding installment he complained about sport plus ride-quality driving on some pothole riddled barely paved back road. Then used packing tape to secure some goofy ass pillow to the top of his head.

He does a nice job filming, it's too bad he does this silly shit.

I guess he’s just trying to fill the time, he needs to cut his video lengths at least in half really.

And if you're in the US, just wait until lease deals are about as good as M40i deals.

I’m just happy knowing that at 10 mph if I’m stuck in 5th gear next to a driver in a X3M also at 10 mph stock in 5th gear I can out accelerate them 🙄🙄🙄🙄

The highlight is the close call with the motorcyclist...

The rest is just trying to find issues with the X3M e.g exhaust note comparison, M40i demo in various settings, X3M quick rev, no demo of sports exhaust on and off... then conclusion M40i is better.

Quote 'the interior is better in places, but overall the same' How can it be the same if better in places...?

I own an M40D and have >10k miles on it.

Day in the new X4M and there is nowhere the interior of the M is worse. It only has better things in many areas. I love the new seats and the shifter.

Bit harsh mate!

Obviously he’s nowhere near as good as the likes of Matt Watson or The Straight Pipes, but compared to what you or I could probably do he is pretty good imo.

I’d far rather watch him than Shmee, that’s for sure!

TBH he did the M5 VS M5 comp, and I have had both, he thinks the Comp is a "different car" that they are miles apart, which is BULL. He can't afford to own a decent car and just does test drives which as you know does NOT reflect the car at all.
PS) I tested the X4M for 24 hours and found the suspension very good not too hard at all till you try Sport+ on shit roads as he did.

According to Tony he's really normal when you speak to him in person.
