Funny thing is, I have a model Y with 0 buttons. But I just expect an ergonomically perfect experience in our X5, and the preLCI does that. The Z4 does that. The M3 LCI/2023 didn't do that - I really didn't feel it was a step forward for BMW. My opinion is probably the minority, and I'll learn to deal with the new system... it just is a vast departure for historicals for BMW. Maybe we could get the recirc back on the steering wheel like the good ol' days! |

In addition, there are many YouTube channels that I checkout on a daily to weekly basis,...and I've since learned to use the "Fast Forward" to speed through the parts that mean nothing to me. That said, please be mindful that I'm not 'attacking' the Savage Geese's YT channel at all,...I'm just voicing my opinion on his style of presenting information. I can't be the only person that has visited his channel and have recognized this. Lastly, when it comes to "Clicking" on someone's YT content, I do so solely by choice. Also, I've never left a negative comment in his Comments,...and for the more most part any YouTubers channel,...as I know how time consuming it must be in developing content for the masses, etc. Even though such effort is indeed how some earn a living, etc. So, I have a hard rule of giving the Creator a "Like" for at least 2 reasons - 1) for their effort and 2) to show that I've already watched a particular video. So, it's all good... Edit: Allow me to say for the record,...I've gained valuable BMW related information for The SG's channel,...from the presenter or presenters. So, please don't think that I have "hate" for him or his channel. Fact is, The SG is a very smart guy,...and he knows what is and is not working for his channel and his audience,...and that really what should matter most to him. There is criticism (bad and good) and constructive criticism,...all criticism isn't per se', "bad criticism"!

Definitely hard to say this is unbiased given he just bought an M50i. Previously, he owned an XC90 T8, and he gave a raving review of it when he got it as well as other modern Volvos. While he hasn't disclosed the issues, but there were some reliability issues with that car, so he sold it and now bashes that car and T8 powertrain as overly complicated and a horrible idea. Since then, reviews of modern Volvos have all turned negative.
Long story short, everyone has a bias, and someone with the old or new is going to have some unconscious bias, it's how we work. That said, I like these guys, and he did do an overall good job, but calling it Unbiased is unwarranted.
