Carwow video review of G30 - finally !
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I think they waited until carwow were able to line up their BMW dealer pricing. Matt's verdict: buy it. It's the best car BMW make. |

Truthfully the new 5 series just has not blown me away. Could be that I drove a 540i as opposed to the M550i coming up but still... I wrote a review when I first drove it but looking back now it really wasn't all that spectacular.

I understand that, but his reviews are always in the same exact setting. He never takes the cars to any other locations. I'm sure during the summer months you get sun, maybe he only likes doing reviews during the rainy months? Lol

The ones on right are the ICON. The ones on the left are in his video, which I have only seen in pictures. They come standard and are not ICON. |

The reason they all look the same is that they are all filmed at Millbrook as someone else has mentioned. Milbrook proving ground is a test centre here in the UK, it's used for manufacturers to test their cars, but also has a closed 'hill route' which looks like British roads. People like Carwow use it, as do top gear, and I'm pretty sure the scene where JB totals that beautiful DBS in Casino Royale was filmed there too. The point is that the location offers consistency without needing to close roads, or get permissions etc which you'd need to on other public roads, and also you can return to the same filming positions etc etc. |

Sorry if elsewhere but quick search did not find.
Not in the configurator, but are these headlights available as stand-alone at the dealer? Really don't need the Sirius Radio, Wireless Charging (not for iPhone), or Wifi, and already added the Comfort Access, so not really wanting to add the extra $1,300 for full Premium pkg. to get them... Thanks. |

Uh... I meant ICON... nvm. I assume the standard ones illuminate the road in the dark, right?
