"Cool"??
Hardly! The guy is annoying as fuck. Mute the sound so you don't have to hear his English with a dutch accent that makes you cringe. Still leaves you with a douche trying to look cool in a $50 suit.

This isn't a review so much as a salesman going over features. Do we really need this? Especially here?

Lol i saw this vid a few days ago just via browsing M2 clips.

It is literally the worst “review” I’ve ever seen. The guy has NFI what he’s talking about.

OP has 8 posts and 2 threads created with 2 videos of the same guy
I'm pretty sure OP is the guy doing the review.

Good luck OP, Its not easy. Learn from the feedback you are getting and eventually it'll work

In my opinion, your videos will work better if you do more reviews and less sales pitch

Thanks, I am indeed the guy doing the review. Just to clarify: I am not a salesperson, just someone with a passion for BMW that wants to share it with others I work and study in a completely different field

Had you clarified it was you in the post you may have gotten some less harsh feedback

But, asides from that point! A useful point for you in future:

I would recommend getting a gimble of some sort for moving footage such as walkarounds etc. This will minimize a lot of the camera shake you are seeing in the video and make it look more professional. Even though GoPro's etc have build in software to eliminate the shake nothing works as good as a gimble where the camera is free standing. This is why drone footage is always so cool to see!

I'd rather have harsh but truthful feedback

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. I wasn't aware the shaking was such a discomfort, so I'll consider using something to make it look more smoothly. Let me know if something else pop ups in your mind!

Not sure what you are filming with but GoPro make a specific gimble called a "GoPro Karma". It's not that the footage is so shaky that its discomforting, but the smoother the footage the better it will come out.

How do you like the car around town? What about on the highway? Do you find it works well as a daily driver? Are you having any traction problems on your wet roads? Are you able to actually fit adults in the back and or fit luggage or golf clubs into the trunk? Any track driving yet? If so how did it do? Did you keep it stock or upgrade the brake pads for your track driving?

Or did you just look at it in a showroom for your review?

Entirely too many of these hacks around, talking out of their ass, trying to make an easy buck by flooding Youtube with crap content. Burns my ass.
