He really takes his time talking about design and fabrication. He talks quite a bit about the realities of doing a full custom build - including parts or tools that don’t work right, mistakes he makes, the real restrictions of working on a hobbyist timeframe, etc.
It’s a great channel, and the most in-depth series I think I’ve seen.
I’m with you there - it’s not even close. Despite my dislike for the current approach at Porsche, if we look at the 911 in isolation, they’ve done an incredible job of iterating and refining the design over 60 years in a way that’s allowed it to always look current while also always being instantly recognizable - it’s an incredible feat, and BMW has never attempted it.
BMW used to make beautiful cars, then boxy cars with a certain charm, now bloated, ugly, overstyled pieces of shit. The F87 M2C 6MT is probably the last good car they’ll ever make - and even it is 500 lbs too heavy.
