Sexier than mpv? No, current SUV are mpvs with a front hood (mostly empty). Cars should not be allowed to be called SUVs unless they have AWD and a minimum ground clearance
I really like the trend of big, uninterrupted glass roofs. Almost nobody ever opens a glass roof and the pillar in the middle of an opening roof just blocks the view for rear seat passengers.
Quite enjoying this series! Agree with seeing you do a chat in the EX30, it seems to provoke opinions!? That BMW is not very efficient though. If you’re only getting a 250 mile range that’s less than 3miles per kwh
Good video - I am biased as I have a 40 touring incoming, but I do find it interesting that Matt, who is living with the car rates it more highly than purely from a road test. BMW sales are up across the board because owners love them beyond road tests and the online forums screeching about how they are ugly and heavy. As a side comment, the three way test you referred to with a Tesla and E53 somewhat backs this up, it came third n your eyes despite having "the plushest ride, vault like levels of refinement" and the best feeling, screwed together interior. To refer to the Tesla only being available as LHD as giving it a feeling of "exoticism" is frankly ridiculous, that is a significant drawback, and to just gloss over it is laughable. The things that actually matter to buyers the BMW has in spades, as Matt is finding out.
I’m enjoying these Vlogs as much as the weekly “My week in cars” podcast, As it’s lovely to see a couple of guys chatting but reviewing the vehicle in a much more imaginative way to most of the reviews on CZcams, keep it up guys, loving it!
The first generation Renault Scenic was the only car we have had two of, unless you count a Mk2 Focus 1.6 and an RS, which I don't in my mind. The Scenic was great for small kids, SO practical but in a small footprint.
I agree totally with the comments about touchscreens, and that cockpit seems to have a particularly bad case of them. And 2.4 tonnes is shocking for a 5 series.
100,000 pounds, that is an obscene price, where does this all end ? A car with features drivers aren't even asking for, now standard, yet dulling the experience!
Lovely car / estate, but sadly the now lack of opening rear glass on hatch has finally put it out of my choice, please god BMW go back to what people truly want / deserve 🫣

The ride looks …jiggly.
Really good video again lads loving this series along with the weekly one on Spotify keep going 👍🏻
Golf R estate does the job for considerably less. Shame there isn't an EV version. ID7 Tourer GTX is as close as VW gets so far.

Be interesting to do one of these in an E class estate in 450d exclusive plus trim and does it feel like 90k of luxury

audios sounding a lot better than in the Insight, great to hear that
Good to hear some commentary on estate cars that aren't that great at load lugging. The 3er Touring in particular is terrible in this regard
This is screaming out for 30i/30d power trains.

Would go for Audi A6 E-tron, much better looking ❤❤
I drive that road every day...its cracking but watch for idiots on the wrong side of the road.
Lots of mumbling, heard about 50%. Good ride, he says, while bouncing up and down on his seat
Matt does need to work on his diction for videos and podcasts - every sentence tails off into nothing.
REALLY dull.
Another keyboard warrior don’t like it don’t watch simple
Agreed... these two are soooooo 💤💤💤
