Any of you have any opinion? What cars interest you? Any more BMWs that interest you that you would possibly like to see a review of?

How about the new Focus RS? New Porsches would be great too. Especially the 991.2 Non-S Carrera.

What's wrong with the 991.2 Carrera then? The turbo engine I assume?

Cheers

Haha well that too, but I made the comment because he wants me to test the base Carrera, which I am not a fan of at all. It's gotta be the S at least

From my understanding the new 991.2 non-S is the preferable Carrera due to smaller turbos and less lag / more responsiveness as compared to the S. You asked for ideas...

Also, do you have the capability to execute head to head reviews?

H2H is very difficult at this time. Again, I am pretty much a one man show. I try to compare cars like I did with the Carrera and the GT3 but it's very difficult and challenging. What did you have in mind?

Haha don't take me so serious! I was asking for ideas! Just personally I don't like the base Carrera. It just doesn't bring the performance I expect from a 911.

I drove both the base Carrera and the Carrera S in Tenerife last year, but I couldn't notice any difference in the responsiveness. They are both very responsive. That's something the new turbo engines really got down.
-> Have you seen my video of driving the 991.2 ?

I think once the RS3 comes out it would be a good fight b/w that and the M2.

Yes, I've seen your review of the 991.2 Cab.

Anyhow, thanks for making great videos.

Ya that's true. But I believe the M2 will take it. I am sure others will offer you that sort of H2H video though!

Thank you for being such an engaging viewer Really appreciate it! And again, don't take me too serious! I really do appreciate the input and opinions!!

I've been a Journalist for quite a while. I've worked for a few media outlets in Germany and a car television show. My family has been in the car testing business all my life as well

Looking forward to it!

It'll interesting to see if the RWS helps the 4S in the steering feel department.

kgroschi, I think that nobody minded that you were wearing sun glasses in your M2 video review. It's perfectly OK, especially if you feel more comfortable with it.

However, it is true that the reflection of the lenses of those particular sun glasses that you were sporting in that M2 video (mirror effect), was indeed distracting - a bit too much movement happening that it creates almost a kind of flickering effect. That was IMHO the point that a couple of forum fellows were pointing out. Consider to get less reflective lenses when you do a video. We're no fashion police, you're free to do as you like - it's just a well-meant tip.

Keep up the good work.

And remember: some interior cover parts of the M2 are real carbon fibre (but several other interior parts are indeed plastic). http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...php?p=19741382

Thank you for your feedback! Haha yeah those glasses are very fashionable in my opinion and I get stopped constantly by people here in LA haha, so I just wore them in my video, not thinking that it would distract anyone. I'll think of changing my glasses for the next review Thanks!

And yeah, I learned the hard way that the "fake looking" Carbon Fiber is indeed Carbon Fiber. Thanks haha!
