Cool vid, love his intro!

Makes me wish I was picking up my car tomorrow instead of in 4 weeks. Will be bittersweet giving back my A3 though, brought my firstborn home in that car, sniff...

All his reviews are amazing, I've always wondered what camera he used but now since he posted up a 4000x2000 video that looks that good, I'am pretty certain he is using a RED setup.

I had not heard this before either about 89 vs. 91. Anyone have any links to this information?

Soooooooo cheesy

I think the Ignition video is better.

I am all with you here... i think the OP calling his video as the "Best review ever" is a bit over exagerated...

good funny production, instructive to the general public yes maybe...

but i think, just like you carnook, that the OP video is too cheesy (as intended) for my taste

I much prefer the Ignition video above...
and Carlos is much more hansome

[djinferno]

nice bias review

[richb811]

Great video! Love the back seat portion with him sliding around all over the place!

I have been sucked into the world of Rosenthal....

There is a simple solution then in order to have nostalgia in your new F30....Have another baby. Just ask your wife if she is agreeable. Again, advanced congrats my friend and look forward to some pics!

Yes, I was not only a bit over exaggerated, but HUGELY OVER EXAGGERATED! Had to get our fellow F30 brethren's attention! But yes, the Ignition review is much better in the sense of actually 'reviewing' the vehicle because after all, Rosenthal is a Bimmer dealership. What could they honestly say about their stock of 3 series Bimmers? Make a vid about how it sucks and then try to sell it.

Really like seeing all these videos highlighting the F30 (because they are all so overwhelmingly positive!)!

I'm eager to see the F30 335i on Top Gear or Fifth Gear.

Rosenthal makes great ads, i really enjoy enjoy the format but all the videos just make you want to buy whatever car is presented. Go watch is 3er then A4 review, in a loop, then go hang yourself

ditto that. particularly Top Gear (never liked Fifth Gear)

[OdomPHD]

Really funny, I loved the 4k. My net loaded it extremely slow, so I cooked supper while it loaded and came back with a dessert martini to find the eleven minute video exceedingly entertaining.

Not to mention my next car was included...

[E60orBust]

Maybe it was the camera angle, but when he pulled in to the dealer garage bay to trade in his E90, the E90 looked downright diminutive parked next to it.

I wonder how the F30 compares in size to the E39 or prior...

Clarkson's just gonna say how stupid the car is cos it's not a V10 by now. Hammond is gonna love it. Then they'll get in a fight until they both agree that the new steering is rubbish. Then, May is gonna say they're both cocks. Finally they will all agree that the Alfa Romeo is superior.

Oh god @ 2:50. It does the same thing as what the X5/X6 does when turning... a fog light comes on instead of a bulb in the inner corona.... which means it's a fake bulb housing

The fog light illumination is BMW's Cornering light. Not to be confused with Adaptive Headlights. If you get the Xenons, it will indeed have the inner corona that swivels. However, the Cornering light is different. It illuminates on when you are not going too fast while making a turn. More info here.

this is what I call a no "nonsense" car review.

91+ is the only recommended fuel. He is BSing. Will it run on 89- sure it will but the timing will be retarded and you will loose power. BMW recommends 91 and above top tier fuel bc of the detergent properties and the engine is optimized for combustion with that octane level. Fuel economy will suffer a bit as will the output.... all to save maybe $100 a year, no thanks I will go get the good stuff.
