My favorite reviwer by far. Doug is a buddy of mine and generally not a BMW person. This is high praise coming from him. Also, the humor is always appreciated. Thanks for posting this

Awesome review! His opinion on the car with just a tad of humor here and there was great. Thanks for sharing

This is good. Does Doug know that this car rev-matches?

He's probably one of my least favorite reviewers. Bad humor is always peppered throughout and he dresses like a nerd and has cheap equipment/editing software. This one wasn't so bad compared to others in terms of the dumb jokes. Happy he liked the car though.

The passenger lets him know at the 5:18 mark so I'm thinking he didn't know and was attempting the rev matches, thinking he was executing them perfectly

Didn't he own an e36 or 46 at some point?

How is this guy any relevant? He should stop "reviewing" cars and go back to destroying PT Cruisers.

Generic driving impressions that could be said by everyone who read the brochure. Says the car corners flat while he's on an almost straight road.

I figure the same thing. Some good unintentional comedy there...

Less opinion and more shots of the car could turn this into a very good review. Not bad-

Whew, he said best "Current" M Car. So my E90 M3 is still the best M car ever, right?

Allow me to explain: any review that says positive things about the car in question (be it M2, M3 or whatever), gets praised in that respective forum. Most reviews are incredibly bad, from a technical, editorial or entertainment point of view - but no matter we like the guy because he praises our car.

I just like to see the cars go and listen to the engines being revved. Beyond that, that's why I subscribe to mags like evo.

Yikes that strikes me as being a troll-like comment.

Perhaps. I'm simply pointing out the number of disses by the reviewer of the bigger M's. IMO, the F80 is the best M3 to date.

It's good for laughs & his reviews are good for entertainment purposes. Hardly gets into the technical nitty gritty of the cars...

I purposefully skip all his posts and "reviews" on jalopnik. It's just for entertainment only if you like his kind of entertainment
