WE WENT TO GERMANY TO DRIVE COOL BMWS AND FAST MINIS

EV Channels Review

Roman and Tommy recount their recent trip to Germany, focusing on their experiences with BMW M cars and Mini. They highlight driving the Mini Clubman John Cooper Works on the Autobahn, praising its performance and handling, though noting its firm suspension might be challenging on rougher roads. The Nürburgring 24 Hours race is described as an incredible spectacle, with a lively atmosphere and diverse racing field, despite Mini's own race car facing early setbacks. The review also touches on driving various BMW M models, including the M3 Competition, M8 Competition, and the all-electric iX M60, with particular emphasis on the iX M60's surprising acceleration and refined, 'spaceship-like' interior. A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the perceived lack of EV adoption in Germany compared to the US, the superior quality of German rest stops, and the driving habits observed. The episode concludes with a discussion on Ford's move to an online-only EV sales model, contrasting it with the current dealership experience and its associated issues.
