Lemon Law: this guy must always have one. One from every brand.

I suspect, were this available when i placed my order, this would have been what id have ordered. Not much more per month than what I'm currently paying.

But he does have a sexy M4..so he does have that.

He called Estoril blue "disgusting blue"!? Raaaaaage

Also, you can't complain about boring interiors when you get an all black interior.

But he could have another Lemon...We don't know if he's got that...Yet.

OK now I'm thinking that he likes the attention.

Why would someone who had issues with the first year of one German performance car buy another first year car from another German company? It makes no fucking sense.

If he didn't want to deal with drama then he should have got a car that had been out at least a few years. Why roll the dice on a brand new model?

I would roll the dice in some cases as it would be cool to have a car that is still really rare on the road. And I would keep at least one of my other cars so I wouldn't be as annoyed if I got a car that was in and out of the shop. But given what this guy went through with the 991 you'd think he would have got a mature model. Or a Lexus.

I literally whispered wtf when he said that.

It's damn beautiful. Just wait until the kinks are worked out.

GeorgeyBoy > Manuél Ferrari
08/03/2014 at 17:08

I'll let him off on the fact he didn't make a big deal about it, especially in the follow up video he barely said anything about it. I guess we'll see how this goes.

heliochrome85 > GeorgeyBoy
08/03/2014 at 17:08

i suspect the next car will be a porsche. Not because BMW makes a bad car. I want a 911S

GeorgeyBoy > heliochrome85

Seems to be the nice logical procession.

Manuél Ferrari > GeorgeyBoy
08/03/2014 at 17:12

He should totally create his own YouTube show now. Use the fame to launch a new car channel called "Lemon Law" or something, haha

heliochrome85 > GeorgeyBoy
08/03/2014 at 17:12

Im thinking a Porsche, and a vintage Benz sedan for the weekends where i just want to waft.

GeorgeyBoy > heliochrome85
08/03/2014 at 17:15

That sounds beautiful.

GeorgeyBoy > Manuél Ferrari
08/03/2014 at 17:16

He actually has a pretty good channel already with a large following. I'm sure it's grown mostly because of his Porsche fiasco.

Manuél Ferrari > GeorgeyBoy
08/03/2014 at 17:19

Interesting. It probably has grown. I guess he got lucky, haha

Taking his word for it... apparently the BMW dealer didn't PDI the car correctly.

It also kinda sounds like he's leasing this M4. In his "Replacement car decision" video, he mentions maybe only keeping the car for a "year or so" and waiting for the next updated 991.

I know it is just my opinion, but to me people that skip on the manual are people who gave up in driving and have no passion left. BMW is the only german automaker left that offers a performance coupe with a manual, and people don't buy them. Such a shame.

But he might have...a sexy lemon.

Kinja'd!!!

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK IS GOING ON?

WHO DOESN'T LOVE ESTORIL BLUE?

And even if you don't love it you can't possibly hate it. It's not something that can be hated. The most you're allowed to think is "ok color, but not for me"

Manuél Ferrari > V8 Rustler

My E90 M3 is DCT ._.

 V8 Rustler > Manuél Ferrari
08/03/2014 at 18:12

Well you get to enjoy crazy fast shifts and will never miss a gear/rev match. That and an awesome LC.

Manuél Ferrari > V8 Rustler
08/03/2014 at 18:17

And it's not my only car. I definitely would be sad if I didn't own a car that was stick.

I still got mad love for Manuél

Oh wait, that sounds bad...

GeorgeyBoy > whoarder is tellurium
08/03/2014 at 18:31

I don't think he is leasing. Pretty sure dealers wouldn't let you order a car to your specs to lease it. Also he's not that dumb.

stick shift corvettes have LC...

DanZman > Manuél Ferrari
08/03/2014 at 18:33

I love Manuél too!

Manuél Ferrari > DanZman
08/03/2014 at 18:34

If it's wrong then I don't want to be right.

I like the DCT in heavy traffic. Otherwise give me my Manuél

These, are facts..

He's definitely talking about Yas Marina blue on the M4, unfortunately Estoril is not available for the M4.

Rico > Manuél Ferrari
08/03/2014 at 19:16

In his follow up video he talks about it, it was the Yas Marina blue he doesn't like. It's the blue option available on the M4. since Estoril isn't available.

Manuél Ferrari > Rico
08/03/2014 at 19:17

ohhh, I see

I can see someone not liking that blue. But you still shouldn't hate it... It's not THAT bad

treesmakewater > GeorgeyBoy
08/03/2014 at 19:22

in a newer video he explained that the car was never taken out of "delivery mode" so the airbags were still turned off.

Rico > Manuél Ferrari
08/03/2014 at 19:29

Definitely isn't I can see why he might not like it because it's more of a powder blue rather than a metallic one, I wouldn't hate any M4 lol. His interlagos blue E92 M3 looked sick in his follow up video doing donuts in the snow.

Manuél Ferrari > Rico
08/03/2014 at 19:34

If he said he hates Laguna Seca Blue then the Internet would murder him, lol

Soloburrito > Rico
08/03/2014 at 19:56

That's right! Totally forgot about that.

I still take umbrage at calling it disgusting.

Rico > Soloburrito
08/03/2014 at 20:22

Yeah that's a bit overboard. It's not my preference but if someone handed me the keys today I wouldn't hesitate for an instant. Even if it didn't have functioning airbags!

NotUnlessRoundIsFunny > GeorgeyBoy
08/03/2014 at 20:28

Pretty sure dealers wouldn't let you order a car to your specs to lease it.

At least our local BMW dealer, which is awful, will let you do this. Don't know how common / uncommon this is though.

GeorgeyBoy > NotUnlessRoundIsFunny
08/03/2014 at 20:34

Interesting, I guess it would be alright for cheaper models.

That white interior is horrid.

EDIT: DID THIS FUCKER JUST SAY YAS MARINA BLUE WAS UGLY?!

Vicente Esteve > GeorgeyBoy

Thanks! I was seriously wondering what he had got! Too bad, I wanted him to get another Porsche.

Very happy for this NEW car owner (looking forward to driving a new car off the lot at some point before I perish)...but the piped-in engine audio BMW elects to utilize in the M series now is simply cheesy to me.

In fact, it's a deal killer for me.
