Own's the car for 8 month's and still doesn't know much about it. Sport settings don't change suspension. Eh also not much of a review.

I'm not sure why he does these, now. I get the first one, and then maybe a 6 month one, and 1 year, maybe. But not every month, when there really is little new info about the car to share. He's put on maybe 200 miles since the last one...

Still, since I am taking delivery in 5 days, I'm lapping it all up

The "suspension mode" is a meme that won't die, apparently. Hear it in these kinds of reviews pretty regularly.

Edit: Why does the iDrive provide "chassis" adjustment for this car, as depicted in this video at about 8:05? Does the new iDrive do that in the 2017 cars?

Yes, it's a misnomer.

He does a review of the same car every month?

Yep, makes no sense to me and he's still using a camcorder with VHS tape to film these videos....

Seems like he's just bored at home

This is a common myth haha. Unless he's pushing a 500k plus he's not making more than a lunch out.

Enjoy the car! You'll love it. It's always frustrating to see the people who talk the most seem to know the least. It's some strange evolutionary fuckery that continues to evolve on YouTube.

I forgot about all the reviews once I took delivery in April of last year. You'll be in love!

No disrespect! It's nice to see someone taking the time to share their experience regardless. That's a great collection of cars

Glenn isn't that interesting to listen to, I admit. But he's got a nice car collection for a relatively "normal guy". 1M, M2, Z3M, Porsche 993 Turbo, MB GLA 45 AMG, Acura NSX, some family SUV and probably some more cars as well.

He's into buying cars that appreciates in value, making the cars basically pay for themselves.

Only thing I don't get is why he's got so many similar cars. Yes, it's probably different driving the 1M compared to the 993 Turbo and so on but they all cater the same segment. It fascinates me. I wish I could have a similar collection but in reality I think I'm too lazy.
