Joe Achilles G20 M Sport Review

ProperBimmer · 03-25-2019, 08:16 PM

As I said when I saw the car a few weeks back, side angle is the only angle on this car I can tolerate.

CP911 · 03-25-2019, 08:26 PM

The more I see this car, the more I notice the door handles. They were never an eye sore before, but now...

And Joe called it the G30... ugh. Stopped watching at that point. The opening scene should have been enough of a warning.

I couldn't be arsed watching the video, but I know she is called Queen B on You Tube and she can drift cars semi-professionally, which is pretty cool....

She is way better to look at

Less than one minute in and it feels like a pornhub exclusive...

Probably good for east Europe.

At least what was in the trunk was naturally ASSpirated, the rest boring as usual

Couldn't watch most of it stopped after 2 mins, I don't really get the love for these YT car reviewers that don't have a journalist background as most of them haven't got a clue how to translate how the car feels into meaningful sentences for the viewer and there are so many proper car journalists that do it better on YT.

CntryClub007 · 03-26-2019, 12:29 PM

Can we just stick with DD (Doug DeMuro) for now. That was brutal (all 0:52).

TodmordenLad · 03-26-2019, 01:05 PM

Not one of his better reviews - one of his worst, in fact
The double act with the woman didn't work at all, and the opening section with the woman locked in the boot was utterly cringeworthy
Think again, Joe

Haywood · 03-26-2019, 03:31 PM

The car comes with a nice set of tatas.

225 · 03-26-2019, 05:23 PM

I gave up watching. So called expert reviewer doesn't know the model designation, amount of power it has, 0to60 time etc.

You tube is full of these jokers.

Forgiven · 03-26-2019, 06:07 PM

yikes.

Yes she can but some of her reviews are terrible too. Joe schmoe... not as mind numbing to watch as Schmee but both make reviews for time you will never get back!

LeedsM4 · 03-27-2019, 04:26 PM

Christ, got to say that was the most boring and cringeworthy Joe Achilles video I've ever seen.

Fed up of these BMW 'reviews' where every presenter reads from a spec sheet and thinks Gesture control is a unique selling point of the car, or 'Hey BMW'. I've never used voice control and won't ever use gesture control... why would I when I can increase the volume by moving my finger, which is already on the steering wheel? Lots of marketing rubbish.

The spec on that press car... couldn't have configured it more boring if I'd tried. Basic company car 101.

I understand that the 320d is not a good sounding engine, but when Joe mentioned 'Double glazed glass' it just put me off the car even more. I want to hear what the engine is doing and feel connected to it when I drive, even if it were to be a 320d. Borrowed my colleagues 530i yesterday as I was interested to drive it as it would give me an impression of what the G20 will be like. I say this as all BMW cars now are basically copy and pasted and vehicle size increased or decreased in relation to what model it is. Anyways long story short, I had to actually concentrate to hear the engine noise when I planted my foot... felt so disconnected from everything.

Sad to see BMW and other brands throwing everything good about cars away, just for silly voice commands and gesture controls

The G30 is a huge improvement over the F20!!!???
