LOL there’s a “premiere” on someone telling us what they think of the cars we own.
“Am I hot or not, tomorrow, at 9 pm!” What a time to be alive… |

I've placed my deposit on an M2 so it's obvious how I feel about the car (hint: it's awesome and I love it).
That said, I hope Chris Harris trashes it just so we can enjoy the fallout from everyone who has hung their hope on Harris as The One Objective Journalist to Validate Their Choice (along with Jackie Ding and anyone else who likes the car, of course). |

Chris can be relied upon to tell it as he experiences it....we already know and it is very human to have our collective choice (purchase) validated by this exceptional driver.

Well, he has confirmed my purchase. This is all I needed. My life is now complete.

He couldn't have said it any better...
"I like this car... but you know what, I think I like this car even more because other people don't like this car." I bought this manual G87 and fell in love immediately, and when I watched others trash the car (::cough:: TH), I smirked and walked to my car and wanted to drive it even more.

I particular appreciated his views on F series owners trashing it and how this is really the successor to the E46. The E46 was the car I had on my wall and the reason I have a G87.
I am so tired of the hate on the G series cars - I happen to appreciate just about every generation of BMWs. The G series is more aggressive and muscular looking the previous series - I can appreciate that. I also appreciate how sculpted the F series is. Anyway, fun review love seeing the BSM on scenic roads in 4k. |

He does say the car is either manual or DCT though :P
But yes, every time we hear people confirm what we’ve been saying, perhaps more eloquently, it’s good: it’s the best car in the world. That aerodynamic rubber piece under the front bumper? I’ve seen it in a few cars. Is it standard in Euro cars? |

I ordered mine without a review or Youtube video. I bought my 2017 M2 and only watched Chris Harris review for that.
He brings to life words and video of feelings and appreciation for cars, all types of cars like no other person. Throttle House and others can just fk right off. |

A great review, which is exactly what I expected from Chris - very fair and even. Plus he track tested the MT, which says a lot about how he feels about the MT over the AT.
Also, I see a reason not to have the carbon buckets, either that or Chris needs to move from boxers to something more supportive.

Did that review feel incomplete to anyone else? I felt like he was just getting into it and then it just…ended.

I guess he knew he was late to the party, so no sense in dwelling on previously discussed topics. So he just needed to give his overall impressions. That said, are you surprised he likes the car better than the previous one, including the CS, and he’s amazed anyone could get in a F87 (OG, C, or CS) and not think the G87 is just objectively better? I think you doubted he would. |

Funny you should mention that. I felt the same way. This video was more of a proclamation than a traditional review. Chris has been very vocal about the haters and keyboard warriors on social media. Several weeks ago, Chris published an article addressing the fact Consumers and journalists alike, sometimes make harsh initial judgements. He continues to suggest that he is challenged and dismayed by the hate that seems to be dispatched on every new car model. This video was more of a STFU public service announcement. 😀
