I subscribed to their channel a few months ago. I like their 1st drive reviews compared to other youtubers since it's different to have two different perspectives/reviews focused on driving performance/dynamics and car tech.
Plus Canadians are awesome. |

Yeah I love these guys. This is a great video and their personalities shine.
To be fair, I've never seen them say anything negative and they don't trash cars in their reviews. About the only bad thing they'll say is "I'm not a fan of ...." Definitely subscribe to their channel, great content |

I love those guys. The only thing they missed was the reason for BMW to go to S55 but it's not really that important.
One thing I learned from this is the intelligence of the MDM. I didn't manage to get it really loose on MDM probably because I'm too careful with the throttle. Can't wait to give it another shot. |

came to post this here for the m2c guys, glad to see it's already up. every time I think next year I am going to buy a used n55 and use it as my daily highway beater, I see reviews like this and makes me rethink and just wait for a nicely used s55. n55 on autotrader at 39.9!! crazy.
def agree that this only deserves to be purchased with a manual tran though...dct no thanks.. |

Ah. Yea, I was really confused when I saw the wheels because I'm used to seeing 18" 513m as winter wheels. Was hoping these were some secret new 19x9 and 19x10 wheels. Would be sick if they were, they look lightweight.

'There is absolutely no turbo lag'
Well there is, floor it @ 2000rpm, you hear the turbos spool up and from >2500 it's starting to pull severely. Cheers Robin |

Once the turbo's are spooled "aka above 3000ish rpm for this car" turbo lag refers to the time it takes the turbo's to re-spool. So say your in the correct gear for sport driving, you let off the gas for a turn or for whatever for a short burst "rpm still above 3000" and go to reapply throttle.....the time it takes for the turbo's to kick in fully again....THAT is turbo lag. So for this engine if he is referring to the actual definition of turbo lag....I would say yes...pretty much no lag |

I always learned: Turbo lag is pressing throttle, (almost)nothing happens and later up the revrange you get the kick in the back. What's the definition then? The latter I call turbo lag too.... EDIT better call that boost threshold. Sorry my bad. Cheers Robin (still drunk from the past couple of days I guess) Last edited by Robin_NL; 12-27-2018 at 07:26 AM.. Reason: I'm an idiot |

From a technical engineer standpoint though apparently that is referred to as "Turbo Threshold" |
