But it might not be so nice somewhere else!

He's just whining.

I got my i5/M60 in December, and I simply love it.

Never thought I would find a car I'd love as much as my i7. I love the handling, the ride is simply superb!

Some folks prefer Teslas (yuk), some Kia, some Porsche. To each his own.

If you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT!

But to continually complain about £ 120K+ pricing for the car, is beyond me.

I was 62 last Saturday, and I purchased the 2023 i7 BECAUSE of the Tech. Later got a 2024 Toyota Crown and took it back after 2 weeks. No comparison!
That bloke couldn't possibly be more than 5 years older, yet nags about tech in 2024!

How many folks complain about the price of a stately Bentley?

Anyway, on another note, did anyone notice the frames with the generation gap cars? A fine 1960s Wolseley or Morris (can't tell which it was) - vintage, in mint condition, driving past a 21st century BMW.

I don't own the G60 and have the G30 previous gen. I have driven the G60. #1, the lane departure stuff he complains about, I disagree as the Lane assist since LCI on the 30 has been very good. I am not sure if he had the PRO package either but overall BMW does one of the best of the best (Much better than Audi). I tend to agree with him on the cheap feel of the buttons on the center console (The press-and-click feeling). There are many cheap aspects to this interior but overall I like the comfort of the car, however, my drive was not the E version.

I fail to see why any enthusiast would pick this over an M3. This is a dad commuter car, not an ultimate driving machine
In what world is this cross-shopped with an M3?

In any case, this car has a lot of advantages over an M3 (size, refinement, looks, technology, comfort, maintence cost). Clearly much different customers being targeted.

Remember, YouTubers get paid for views, not for likes or subscribers, so controversial or inflamatory titles and come ons that get people to view are in their self interest, even if there turns out to be no useful content.
