Hey Glen,
I think it's about time that you invest in a gimbal. Nice work! |

Glenn, How do you feel about Active Sound Design as implemented in the M2? You didnt mention it in your review so Im curious if youve disabled or are fine with it, or consider it a not factor?

That was my complaint with my 1M. Everyone would complement how good the car sounds but I could never hear anything with the windows up. I think that's why Active Sound Design exists. Lots of manufacturers do it. Glenn

I miss not hearing my turbo spool up! As for the stereo, luckily, there is plenty of reserve power in our HK systems such that even in sport+ mode, I dont have crank the sound system above about halfway to hear it clearly.. Getting used to it.

I get it that it’s his YouTube channel but I have to say the frequency and lack of content is what makes the videos lame. Yet I watch them each time he posts. He’s selling the m2 so maybe there won’t be a 20 month review

Chris Harris and 1 or 2 other people make content worth watching, sometimes also Demuro, but from there it is a steep plunge downwards. Even the former print media articles (R&T, C&D) are very spotty, probably because their source of revenue is largely gone now that print advertising is going the way of the passenger pigeon. It's hard to get good content out of monkeys. |

I think that DeMuro has just run out of material. His contract with Autotrader must require him to make a lot of videos, so he's just winging it, and doesn't really have anything to say most of the time.

For me, I like the Motor Trend videos, both Head to Head, and Ignition. Also, Alex on Autos, while verbose, gives extremely complete and detailed reviews, in 4k on youtube.

Brandon Pierce. This guy mostly does videos on off-road stuff, but he has some on gt-350, gt4, m2, e92 m3, m5, etc. https://youtu.be/LX3I6-ux0UE Savage Geese. These guys sometimes do long term ownership review. https://youtu.be/1pr0TRvsyG8 Smoking tire once in a while has an interesting car. Obsessed garage, that guy can just talk while he's detailing a car.. And of course I watch Glen's videos. Glen if you're reading though I do think your videos often repeat too much information that you already went over in previous videos. |

Another one we like, though he's been quiet lately, is savagegeese. His production quality is very high, and his "in the shop" segments in each review where he details the cars from under a lift, with attention paid to the suspension setup, camber adjustments, and undercarriage details are very well done while also often being humorous. He's also not afraid to tell it like it is - good and bad. Have you ever seen carguru's Tesla videos? He's the guy who rebuilt a Tesla from the ground up using salvage parts. I don't know if he is doing the actual playing, but some of the videos have him playing music, like the theme to "Titanic", on a flute but so badly that we literally laugh until we're crying with stomach cramps. He loves ranking on Tesla's failure to support owners who have salvage cars, but he does it in such a humble, funny way that we play every video just hoping he'll break out the flute. |
