Bmw should reinvest in the manual transmission
Hell no.
You beat me to it. Reintroduce the one series as a coupe and sedan and make manual transmission an option. Preferably with the B58 as well.
@elfishcoder7287 your right BMW needs to be back the manual transmission, because they are Cheaper to fix as well !!
Exactly, they are supposed to be the ultimate driving machines. Flappy paddles are cool for time attack competitions and gridlock traffic, that's it.
They did bring back the manual for the 2025 Z4
Toyota saw this coming, and people was calling them crazy for not going all in on EV.
Wrong, people do not want THEIR ev, you just heard that BMW ev and Tesla Ev are doing fantastic... Don't fall the retarded lies, people do not want any other ev... just bmw and Tsla
*Manufacturers have Realised ppl do NOT Want SOUL LESS EVs
Yes!
Hate to break it to you but most engine powered cars are soulless as well.
Lets see how long these manufacturers keep producing evs instead of hybrid and ICE cars
Bimmer Gang! They need to bring back a lot more manual in their line up.
Just for nobody to buy them😂
And hire a designer with eyes while there at it 😂 but this is good news companies are realizing people want what they want and it's V8 and petrol engines and not EVs
BMW went all-in on the China market and I believe gets about 40% of their total sales there. Lexus gets about 20% from China and over 40% from North America. So China weakness could have a big effect.
Honda is still gonna continue R&D in ICE until 2032!
Ehh sort of. Theyre gonna do R&D, but it’s going to be same platforms different bodies and interiors, like how the new Camry is. For all practical purposes though it’s the same, no normal person notices a car is on the same platform as the previous one
@@davewilson7602Uhhh.. yeah! Nobody’s investing into a new ICE platform when they’re already good as it is. Most companies are only in development of new EV platforms. Honda will continue R&D into their engines.
You couldn’t live with your electric failures and where did that bring you. Back to V8.
Crazy how bmw could keep a twin turbo v8 but Toyota can’t keep a v6 na with hybrid.
You do know Toyota is working on a ttv8 too right? Also the na v6 wasn't fuel efficient and was severely underpowered
In regards to the 4runner
Something about fleet mpg across all models
N/A is out the window with emission control
@@takaradope the ttv8 is a race homologated engine not a everyday truck engine.
Well we can all thank Mazda for being the first ones to openly admit they would continue supporting the development of diesel engines and gasoline engines. This is a good decision on BMWs part too. RIP Tesla. I hope they continue to stay in business because we have BYD as a competitor, but I think Tesla should consider making some PHEVs if their ego can manage that.
GM is also doing a next-gen V8.
A'Merica! FK YEA!
Truck only as of now, but it’s there which is what important.
@Brian_Eugene_LeeMazda makes good diesels. I’m not sure if they make a V8.🤔
I love me some GM V8. The rest of the car is always meh but they have some damn good engine engineers.
Cadillac will keep dropping if they stick to converting their entire fleet to EV
Lexus needs to reinvest in their awesom v8 with cylinder deactivation and hybrid power
I bet that the whole big show of cancelling the V8 was actually a ploy to force other companies to blink. tell everyone else you are getting rid of the v8 then develop a new V8 to cash in on the new market demand
Don't be the conspiracy theory guy. There's already enough Tesla fanboys out there
They never cancelled the V8. They just stopped making them in Munich…
7:08 Honda is doing great, but not Acura. Honda should work on improving Acura if they want to raise their stock more
😂😂😂😂 hell ya!! EV going down! Told ya we don’t want that BS!
Wrong, you just heard BMW and Tsla doing fantastic Ev... , not any other ev
Amen to that!! 🙌
BMW did a good job with the i5 and i7 in making them look like normal cars. People like that.
BMW has been offering very low APR’s, MB has not. I bought an X5 over a GLE strictly because I was able to get 2.99% from BMW and MB offered 7.99% . Simple decision even though I liked the Benz more
Uh...when the did the sales numbers ever reflect actual sales to customers? These sales reports have always been the number of units shipped to dealers.
Merc. is lost. They're misjudging the luxury market from a styling and powertrain (ICE, specifically) standpoint. B/w lackluster EQS, fiddly styling across the line-up and aggressive engine downsizing (that luxury buyers don't want), other luxury marks are more in tune with the segment
Mercedes board of "lords of the universe" are already asking for Ola's resignation. He was the first non German executive ever to achieve the CEO position at Mercedes. Ola Källenius is actually Swedish. Maybe Mercedes should hire a former Lexus or Toyota executive in case Ola gets sacked.
They've become the Lexus of the 2010s.
Omg burn
@@mofayer Ola is Swedish and Teslas are very popular in Sweden (and China) so naturally he reckoned that Mercedes should become a mix of Tesla and Volvo. That's why he invested heavily on EVs, despite many protests from the board of directors and that's why the C63 W206 is a four cylinder plug-in hybrid, just like every high performance Volvo. And since Volvo is owned by Geely, which happens to be a 10% major shareholder of The Mercedes-Benz Group, Ola had plans to merge Mercedes-Volvo-Polestar all together. It would DaimlerChrysler all over again... This time electrified and backed by Chinese investors and BlackRock (Yes, really, THAT BlackRock presided by Larry Fink). Anyway, thank God that sales of the S-class and the failure of the EQS proved Ola wrong. Fire Ola and replace him with someone with a plan called MAMEGA - MAke MErcedes Great Again. I want a designer as talented as Bruno Sacco to design the cars and I want former BMW M and Porsche engineers to engineer the AMGs.
I appreciate BMW & Lexus for having attract lease rates, superb build quality and also features like Digital Key, awesome wheel designs and high end audio systems (Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Series & Mark Levinson).
How is BMW even selling cars when the cars look like that and reliability is shit?
In reality they're not that bad
Never understood the slander on BMW reliability. I’m on my third BMW and never had any reliability issues. I had a c class Mercedes at one point and that was a money pit along with a VW I had.
The reliability actually got better for BMW over the past 10 years, believe it or not. I mean, compared to the Japanese it’s still absolute garbage, but it’s definitely better than Mercedes and Audi compared to back then.
I moved from lexus to bmw and the reliability hasn’t been an issue for me but the interior, tech, performance and handling is better though
@@faheemabbas3965 I agree
I like BMW. I would like them more if they were actually reliable.
They are
Stop buying 10 years old bmws 😂
Kirk telling it like it is in this video😂😂 I love it
Currently leasing the IONIQ 5 to get the $7500 upfront and have no plans of keeping it at the end. The reason is because the inlet is changing and the charging landscape of 800V on that plug is capable, but whether Tesla will ever widely adopt that voltage is slim at best for the near future. Hope they are made here stateside and qualify for the $7500 and the prices remain soft. At that point it may be a keeper meaning I would own it for multiple lease cycles. 14:20
Thanks for all that you do!! I hate reading and you do it for me!! Love it!!!!
When I win the lottery, I’ll get a pair of BMWs, one M5 and one i5
Thank God. Let's just hope BMW improves the reliability of the N63 Twin-Turbo V8 engine, which has been a thorn on BMW owners' side since 2009. The N63 is the worst and yet one of the nicest engines BMW has ever made. It's a pain in the a$$ when it breaks down, but when it's running properly as it should, the N63 is very powerful, easily tunable and it even sounds better than the S63 V8 in the BMW M cars. Seriously, the BMW M850i sounds much better than the M8.
I've had 2nd revision N63 on a X5. TG, i never got the 1st gen. It was still a pita to maintain and had timing issues in the end. 2018 revision and current N63TU3 is by far best one to get. Actually thinking about getting another 5er w the V8.
@@F85M Get a M550i while they're still available near where you live.
@@CynicalBastard511 Hell yeah! 👍🏼
Thankfully, BMW’s overall reliability has improved
It looks to me like the S68 is becoming the successor to the N63 since it's the only V8 being offered in the newer models, just with different power outputs depending on which vehicle it's in. Time will tell how they hold up compared to the N63. @CynicalBastard511
That question at the end, which EV would I want, NONE. I’m sticking with my Mazda until it fails to proceed.
beamers made for the domestic Germ market are not the same as North American models. they're made to handle 200mph on the autobahn with big honkin power trains.
As a BMW owner, I'm glad to see the direction they're going and continuing to allow the customer decide what's right for them. One design multiple powertrains options. If Mercedes made an electric S-Class instead of the so-called equivalent EQS, I believe they would have received a better response from their clientele. The "X" headlights would be interesting to see on the new X5. Hyundai's "H" shaped DRLs on their Santa Fe looks good.
Mercedes is really slipping when it comes to this V8 thing
Snoop-B-M-WW Edition. Do it
I worked for BMW in the past. Those V8’s drink engine oil like no other.
BMW should reinvest in proper automotive design.
So what you're saying then is Lexus is not going to cancel the 5L NA V8 and there will be new generations of RC-F and LC-500. Wonderful news!
TSLA will CRASH Below 100 with M2 TANKED n 10% Cut in Employees
It's possible...
Hope so, I need Millions of shares
RS6 avant not selling !
Seriously, they really need do a 3.0+l i6.
Planet be damned! Save the Profit Margin!!! 😂
BEVs make no environmental difference vs a good Hybrid. So what is the point?
Great news Tesla might need to start making ICE 😅
Or PHEV. I’ve been saying it all along.
Wrong, TESLA is the number #1 selling CAR making in the world, think that through.. they only make ev, and over 88% of Tesla owner are going to buy anther Tesla.. 95% Tesla owners kids, will ONLY buy a Tesla.. there is facts and proof, that less people are buying gas car.. so as a company why would go into a failing market as gas cars..
Nice
Toyota should just buy BMW or at least a percentage of BMW.
Or extend their partnership.
The German government would never allow that.
BMW performance with Toyota reliability = Match made in heaven.
I'm so sick of this Gov and these crooked politicians that with to shove these EV'S down everyone Mouth !! Because not everyone is going to be into EV'S only !! Over here in the United States we want Choices Period !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸😤😤💪💪💪
Vote Republican
Pretty sure plenty of non EVs are still available out there to buy.
@@Marcus-id5ur Democrats want to adopt CA policy of outlawing ICE in near future nationwide.
BMW is investing in a new-gen V8 to meet coming emissions, just like GM, Ford, and others have, that are keeping their V8s or larger engines, I trust no luxury sales vehicles numbers, given how many courtesy vehicles I see from Lexus and the BMW dealer near having the most new models on lot ever, hence, why
Hope you're not implying BMW's EVs look good lol. I think they're the most hideous. Mercedes' EQ doesn't look great either, but it's just bland. Only Audi's e-Tron lineup looks good and futuristic.
Hahaha 🤣🤣 MELTING BUTTER 🤣🤣 Hahaha 😎 BMW, I Hope They Can Keep it up & Running😎EV's market 😎
I absolutely love your channel Kirk. But I just can't get excited about modern BMWs. Ha Ha. Still gave it a "Like" though.
Ioniq 5. The EV market has out priced itself. The bubble has burst. Very wealthy owners can afford all the add-on bells and whistles. They will rebound slowly as they become more affordable.
BMW and Toyota should strengthen their ties.
I hope they don't ruin the X3 and X5 design, they're the only good looking BMWs left currently.
It is a shame in a manner as petroleum engines were (before it got scuttle by people getting understandably impatient I would say - toss in the towel and go EV); but petroleum - you cannot come close to beating it for compressed energy portability - it is gift from heaven it is so good BUT engines never had to be very efficient because there was just so much energy you could do a poor job of getting that translated to motion and still have that engine do more than it needed too. However, there were places all over the planet where standards of living allowed them to think - people "can and will" pay for these much better engines to combat the terrible - it is not the pollution we hear about but the stuff in the lower atmosphere that we can see and feel when walking around and breathing (so the buyer had a buy in to see the value in their life). In any case these really nice technologies lost like 30 years of slowly just refining old ideas on combustion but it not working out as well as envision but technology and refinement was more than opening the door to these engines not being so inefficient in taking advantage of that incredible energy (where we are with batteries we have efficient electric motors but the portable energy is out of alignment in the reverse of petroleum). Anyway just a thought or pondering on it.
What EV do I want the most is the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package! In Purple! BAM!😁
Somebody going grab those Chrysler 300 drivers 😆
Lexus have no front tire view camera so many of their rims are badly curbed.
YESSSSS! BMW will keep on kicking ass, they are ACTUALLY listening to us enthusiasts 😍 . Shame on MB
People make fun of bmw's design but no one makes fun of their sales figures
Why legacy auto will survive is because if EVs tank then they have their ICE cars to fall back on
To bad they were tanking before they went into ev, so survive maybe, thrive, never
its all about design of car which open our wallet!! why dont they realize that! BMW, LEXUS design is crazy right now.
BMW have got it right,who wants to drive an EV or hybrid that looks like something weird ,have it look like their normal vehicles
BMW surging because no one wants to pay BMW money for a Lexus.
mbz has fallen since the loss of na v8s, their styling so fugly too
I've got my lima beans and cough syrup and I'm buckled in. Let's go... to the insane asylum. Here's why. The American public has become immune to the firing of workers and it's sad. It's shocking how many people in KZhead comments attack labor. "They're too lazy." "They're uneducated." The privileged step on the necks of the working class. There once was a time when labor was respected. Workers sacrificed their time, lives, and often their families to ensure the success of companies. Respect and stability for hard work flew out the window with the dodo bird. Times have changed and it will only get worse. Elon Musk became the richest man in the world off the backs of labor. We are gaslit into believing that workers are flexible, that they can learn new skills, pick up, and move on. Many of these people can't. People are not malleable. Most people are lucky to master one skill in their life. If workers, all workers, even those in Tesla Shanghai, had ownership in Tesla, Elon Musk wouldn't be the richest man in the world but every single worker who shed blood, sweat, and tears would have a roof over the head, food to eat, and live without fear from what the next day will bring. Elon destroyed the lives of the people who built Twitter. Now Elon is destroying the lives of the people who built Tesla. Destruction is being wrought by billionaire oligarchs and no one has the will to do anything about it. The American Dream is over.
BMW = Big Money Waster
Not anymore. Their B48 and B58 engines are fantastic and they're doing better than some Japanese manufacturers like Nissan and Mitsubishi in terms of reliability lol!
Interesting comments about Mercedes' EVs when Toyota and Lexus EVs are an even bigger joke and don't sell and aren't even as good as those joke Mercedes EVs. For all the comments about BMW's looks and reliability they aren't having a problem in the market. The 4-Series sells. Despite the grille. Ditto for the M3/M4 and the 7-Series. Big difference between the comments here vs actual buyers. Truth is the people doing the most complaining about BMW wouldn't buy one no matter what they looked like.
People gonna hate on me for this but I moved from Lexus to bmw and I haven’t had any reliability issues… and I like it more… don’t crucify me please lol
When it comes to BMW, no B58 no buy
Day 2 Of Asking For Gromtent 🥺 Yes I Also Watxhed & Liked.
So busy mate! I'll get out and do a car spotting video soonish.
One word: Why?
The customers want it.
@@KirkKreifels But they dont in numbers makes no sence
Today I drove behind an M4 convertible with 4 tailpipes, it's a straight-six but it looked very nice, just looked it up, only 111,800 €. 🫣
