Found the actual review of the X1 by the same guys. They're still trying to be silly/funny, but it has a bit more content than the comparo.

Video of X1 vs. Volvo XC60 - High Altitude

Stumbled across this video filmed in my neck of the woods. Nothing serious, just a fun little 10-minute clip!

The 640 has a 315hp version of the N55 and the 550 is "only" 400hp for now. The 550 is rumored to be getting the same uprated engine as the 6 for 2014 though.

When BMW renamed the line from "3" to "4" they set an expectation of something more than what has been shown so far. Nobody looks at a 6-Series and sees it as a 5-Series with a couple doors lopped...

Even if both cars are Coupes, the suspension was changed in 2011 when the LCI was released. My 2008 was much more harsh over bumps than the 2011. Brake pads were changed too - lots of visible dust...

The E92 is at the very end of its life cycle, with the F32 launch right around the corner. Coupe buyers in particular tend to be more style conscious, and don't line up to buy a model that will...

Just came out of a 328i xDrive loaner that I had for a few days while my E92 335i xDrive was in for service.

My take is that BMW spent *way* too much effort on "Eco Pro" gimmicks, and nowhere near...

Thanks for the tip about 7.1.0.658. I found the same version for the 9900 and confirmed that it resolves the issue on that device as well.

No worries about discrediting me - a different "feel" is totally subjective, and with the exception of the improved MPG, there is nothing scientific to back it up.

I liked my Crimson Red E92 so much that I ordered another in the same color. It never looks dirty from a distance, and it definitely stands out from all the dark colored BMWs. Go for it!
