Nice but I'm really tired of automotive journalist dudes who just don't understand the SMG and how to drive one.

Rudy, I agree with you, especially when these guys drive a new model, they always bitch about i-drive. This really pisses me off, of course i-drive will be a little bit of a challanging if your not used to it, but after a day or two it's fine. I would love to see these guys poll BMW owners for an honest real world opinion.

+1 on that. then the real truth would come out instead of things said being "too difficult".

I dont understand how Autospies has the oppotunity to even do this. I remember CLEARLY a year ago they simply had all this mumbo jumbo spy shot crap taken from other websites and im sure they still do the same thing. THey steal articles all day everyday and link them on their site. They offer NOTHING to automotive lovers and are BIASED in ratings due to their heavy advertising from MB dealers.

The guy 001 is like 100yrs old and a moron.

At 6:10 the moron talking says he was driving a ferrari 360 all weekend and he was worried when he was comming into the M5 smg? Does that make ANY sense at all? Why does he feel the need to let everyone know he was driving a 360? I mean wow.

I can't believe these tools get paid to test these cars. A little jealous I guess. But they do say some moronic stuff.

Seriously theyre complete morons, im not even hating. Just listen to how they talk and rate the cars they review. The website steals articles from other sites and posts them on theirs. Its horrible. lol wtf is 004? The guy is like 60 and thinks hes James Bond because he drives a 1999 SL500? lol gimmie a break
