Holy crap. The side shot of the car is 95% Kia Stinger.

Yes and No. If you touch the ^ on the top of the iDrive screen there are I believe 5 or 6 memory buttons that can be set for a variety of functions. Not as easy & practical as the actual memory buttons (that I love and used in all my past BMWs), but BMW wanted to keep the interior cleaner and more modern.
Everyone rakes Tesla over the coals, and yet every EV model tries to emulate them in some way or the other; good and bad. |

Highlight of the review.
Also. This is a photo of my projector screen. I only mention this as technology is now so bloody amazing. I still remember the era of CRT TVs and me being my parent's remote control for changing channels. The joy of being a Gen X kid. |

After 6 months of intermittent research into the i4, this is the first review I've seen that doesn't inaccurately state facts about the car (as far as I can tell). The guy is quirky but as I watched the whole thing I haven't found anything to be grossly inaccurate, like 95% or other reviews I've seen. He knows his stuff!
Also, it's more of an accurate and unbiased review than it is positive or negative. Nice job Mr. Doug! |

Recently saw another one of his videos on the Tesla Model X Plaid. He was driving around my neighborhood! Wonder if he lives in OC California. |

It was refreshing to see a reviewer that doesn't call the platform a conversion from gas or is acting like badge police and counts how many M badges the car has. He also didn't seem like an anti-EV or an anti-ICE individual. Last edited by cruzer666; 05-06-2022 at 05:22 PM.. |

https://www.epson.com.au/products/pr.../EH-TW9400.asp I believe it has another name in the US. https://epson.com/For-Home/Projector...p/V11H928020MB Sorry if off topic. I'm a bit of a home cinema nerd and movie buff. It's a great projector for the money. Sure there are better ones but this really hits the sweet spot for bang for buck. With a projector you do need good soundproof blackout curtains too. But honestly, once you've got it setup you start to get critical of the quality in commercial cinemas. |

His reviews are too predictable biased towards US cars (How can a Tesla Y.... be better than a M3???), and think the channel in general are overrated. I rarely watch it.
