The new A/C unit on the latest BMWs does give the dashboard a very neat and almost buttonless look while still retaining actual physical buttons and not jumping on the terrible all touch-screen bandwagon. But those central metallic buttons (I hope they are metal?) can look really bad on video, often a little bit misaligned, more worryingly sometimes color mismatched 🤔

I've seen the 8er a lot of times now and I would say that the buttons didn't look to have any colour mismatch. The quality of them though, I'm not sure they are any better than my X6, although visually they look better. Latest Porsche models seem to be the best looking and feel if not functionally as good due to lack of rotary controller.

I have an M850i. The buttons are not misaligned or color mismatched.

I believe You but his voice and the way he speaks is too irritating

The worst change is to the wiper stalk. Moronic.

I have to click down twice now, for a single wipe (with auto on).. the button on the end of the stalk was perfection.

I can only take this guys reviews in small doses. The way he speaks is annoying.

The car on the other hand. I am willing to overdose on the 8

I had to stop watching after about 5 minutes.

I have been watching his vids since the beginning...they used to be more fun a couple years ago. His dorkiness is what made it enjoyable.

As he's gotten more popular the vids have gotten more boring and he's gotten visibly more cocky.

Doug the type of guy sits on TV and watches couch

[StatenEye]

Screech Powers reviews cars?

[ellipsis212]

Doug is quirky but I truly enjoy his enthusiasm and his attention to the mundane details. Millions of people agree. I also love that he reviews new cars as well as old ones; all of them special in some way.

Well, that just sucks. Are there still buttons on the left stalk for high-beam assist and board computer?

Yes

What's with the haters. Just don't watch. For someone actually interested in buying the car his reviews are good.

I don't like him as a personality and he isn't very entertaining, but I do like his thoroughness. If you are shopping for a car, it's best to see what things he highlights about the features. His reviews are likely better product information than anyone on the internet, especially considering virtually all reviews are bought and paid for by the car company being reviewed. We also don't need to know what it's like to hold a long slide on a race track since virtually no one will do that to the car, even the guys who do track their cars.

Agree fully. I for one liked his attention to detail and the thoroughness of coverage. This helps me especially when i am about to buy one.

The M5 does not have iDrive 7!!!! I wanted to punch the screen when he said it was the same system.

[G35POPPEDMYCHERRY]

Car is just too expensive. Gotta hand it to these car makers. Make 80 different versions of car so people can buy a special one and feel elite. So refreshing when someone approaches my f80 and we can have a legit convo about cars and not what my lease payement is lol

I rather stay with smaller models of bmw. I would much prefer a s63/s550 coupe over this, the rear seat of this luxury gt is smaller than my m4's back seat 🤷*♂️ ridiculous. Not worth the extra 35k for me
