My favourite part was when he changed between lanes and commented how well balanced the car feels LOL - is that a new measure now? Changing lanes and pulling G's?

One of BMW's biggest swings and misses since the i3. And that's saying a lot with the existence of the 2GC.

My M340 is in the shop right now and they gave me a loaner 228i GC Xdrive. Wow is this thing terrible. I can't give it back soon enough

Seems like a good enough car but it failed on the market at the end of the day. I'd say the styling is what did it in.

They are gonna hand out 2GC loaners like candy now. It's like punishment for getting your car serviced. As if BMW maintenance costs wasn't punishing enough already.

Doug drives around the block and on a good day does a quick highway stint and talks about handling. It's a bizarre YouTube trend.

I've seen a few reviews of the M440i with consistent comments around how well balanced and composed the car is. With wheel spacers, lowered and blacked out exterior trim/grille I think it will look really good.

Real talk, he is also based in San Diego in a highly population dense state with socal cops who won't hesitate to give you a ticket. Unfair to compare how hard he can push his review cars compared to say AutoNL on the autobahn but Demuro is one of the most detailed and thorough auto reviewers out there. |

I was shocked as to how it felt compared to say even an inline N20. It handles like a KIA given its FWD bias and has a huge American budget sedan aesthetic going for it. As throttle house put it, its the only BMW i've driven I didn't like. |

the car dilutes the brand image imo, but if there are sales then there is a market and reason to keep making it. |
