BMW A Driving Obsession

[khalis3009]

Every car will be reliable as long as you take care of it properly... but in terms of not taking care of them and still working - old BMWs are proof that this company knows how to build a car. Still running with minimum issues - 1991 BMW 5 series - 340.000km. They rule. Period.

[jaketredy]

@khalis3009 That was back then and most manufactures have stopped building quality cars like BMW.

[friendlytaipei]

How did BMW get a one hour commercial on CNBC?

But I'm a fan, so I loved it!

As for reliability, my BMW has been bullet proof so far in 18 months and 34000km. I guess CR gets its info from the big picture, but it's never matched my anecdotal life!

I'm confused about the BMW/VW buying RR. Is BMW part owner with VW.

Thanks for the upload.

Cheers!

Bmw for life! Just watched the whole clip. Very interesting!

[TheBomiheko]

The whole reliability thing is not consistent. The only thing that's true is that German car's replacement parts are more expensive, but just because it's more expensive doesn't mean that its unreliable. Most German cars have the same reliability as Japanese, it's just that more people complain about a German car than Japanese one.

[CarScrubs]

Awesome piece! BMW is truly the Ultimate Driving Machine!

[trehan25]

Thumbs up if you watched the whole video like a TRUE Bimmer fan!!

[donfontaine12]

Hey, what video capture device did you use for this upload? I got tons of episodes on my DVR that I want to save on my computer. Thanks.

[EraluxStudios]

cant find anything to complain about..... bitches about a simple radio function

[farturinn]

Nice "wear your seatbelt ad" CNBC :D

[jeppakall]

Suggestion: Put on a seatbelt while you´re on national TV doing 250kmph!

[DanniV8]

When they were talking about how much the smallest sound the car makes matters... I couldn't agree more! My 1994 BMW beeps when there's something wrong.. and I fix it IMMEDIATELY, because I hate that sound! It also beeps intermittently when I'm in reverse so I adjust my driving and parking style so I don't have to reverse :D

[raymondstreisand]

Cool report Thank you !

[Wildman113]

Acura, Lexus, Infiniti have better reliability?? Consumer Reports is a JOKE, Those 3 are useless appliances, and Infinitis are just plain garbage. BMW is 10 times the car any of those could ever dream of being, CR is a bunch of clowns with an Asian agenda and completely skewed and inaccurate data.

[mrmikegribbins]

@Wildman113

You are correct. Without BMW and Mercedes, Lexus wouldn't know what to copy, I mean build. What a joke. As soon as women and metro men began picking our cars like they do toasters, it started commoditizing cars and driving out all the individuality. Where is the pride in craftsmanship gone??? Who gets enthused over these suppository looking vehicles?? Look at a 57 Chevy or 67 Corvette, etc. It's alive and well - at BMW. GM could start over at 1955 and sell more cars!

[Surfboard365]

@Wildman113 That guy probably worked for British Leyland lol

[jaketredy]

@Wildman113 After 60,000 miles a BMW is a piece of crap.

[Wildman113]

@jaketredy Hey retard, just had one in the shop today.  BMW 325i with 221,000 miles. You need to stop using the internet, you're just too damn stupid.

[smellyjewishkid]

ok.. hes on the autobahn doin 155mph.  meaning hes in germany. but why da fck is it left hand drive

shudnt it be right

[docpowell]

@smellyjewishkid

umm. no. Only the UK and Ireland are left hand drive in Europe.

More importantly, why isn't he wearing a seat belt? At 155mph! On CNBC!

[smellyjewishkid]

@docpowell suk cock mother fucker

[jwatwater]

@smellyjewishkid

German cars have the same steering as American ones. UK has other hand driving

[quatroportte]

[michael1215]

[bellmans12]

I am a big fan of German cars. I have owned a BMW and now own a MB. They are engineered to drive and crash on the Autobahn. Love saying that! I was in a chauffeured driven Audi A8 W12 the other day. Now that's a bingo!!!!

@bellmans12 I've also taken a ride in and sat in the driver seats of BMWs, Mercedes Benzes, and Audis.

[TheSRalston]
