Interesting that Yiannimize have admitted that influencers get preferential rate from BMW....
It has certainly been mentioned a few times on this thread. The VIP schemes aren't new, they've always been running for 'public figures', it is just that Youtubers get included along with sports and traditional TV stars.Wasn't there a fuss in the '90s when the Princess of Wales got a cheap Audi convertible?

We all knew something was going on but no one has admitted it. He said if you have over 100k subscribers you get a cheap lease deal.
Explains why:
STG has a X340i
Yianni has an X3M
SOL has an M2 Comp
Archie has an M8
Joe Achilles would have bought a BMW anyway but probs has a deal
I saw that Yianni vid and was more surprised by the fact he basically never drives it. I'm sure he's doing well for himself but his point was it was such a good deal (can't remember, maybe £600 a month or something) that he just had to have it. Seems an utter waste of money to PCP a car you'll never use just because it's on a preferential deal.We all knew something was going on but no one has admitted it.

Paul Wallace is on the latest Car Chat podcast from Sam Moores. It's a long one, but a good listen.

Goes into more detail about the Lambo (which is for sale) and the 458 (which is gone) amongst other things. You seem to get a lot more information and closure (if that's the right word) from his projects on other peoples podcasts it seems, he never seems to wrap up his video series on the channel.

Meanwhile I can't even get BMW to answer my emails!
It's also the brand I have owned more cars of than any other too - got two on the drive right now.
So they're not for everyone!
yeah but if you made a video on it you'd probably say it as it is It's also the brand I have owned more cars of than any other too - got two on the drive right now.

whereas they need people to tell everyone how great every single car is while ignoring the niggles/things they don't like about them. Wouldn’t these VIP deals just apply to new cars? Paul’s and Sam’s cars were used.
I can certainly see it applying to the M8’s. Archie is very conscious of depreciation so it always seemed a strange choice for him.
I think there should be some disclosure if the vehicles are provided on preferential terms which aren’t available to normal members of the public.
By the way, Rob Ferretti (SuperSpeedersRob), Emelia Hartford, Matt Farrah, and Tanner Foust's new show, Sorted, has just launched -

I subscribe to quite a few of the more common car YouTubers like Late Brake Show, Car Wow, Harry’s Garage, Lovecars etc but wanted to mention an American channel I came across during lockdown I find quite interesting, maybe someone on here may enjoy. They actually have a few channels that concentrate on different genres but if you follow 1 channel you’ll see their other ones you can also follow. The Fast Lane Off Road where they test all sorts of stuff off road from early Land Rovers and Jeeps to huge American trucks. Their other channels are TFL Car, TFL Classics, TFL Now.

‘Tom’ wouldn’t have got the wrong end of the stick because no other adult reading my comment would have even thought what I was instigating was a personal bullying campaign against his dead relative.
Your behaviour is very troll-like.

Ok, as I said I just didn't want Tom to get the wrong end of the stick and go on a video about this site again that's all.
I didn't want to fall out with you over this though, I hope we can more on.
Well you didn’t quite say that did you?I didn't want to fall out with you over this though, I hope we can more on.

Friends Green Porsche's YouTube channel has come on leaps and bounds in the last ~6 months or so.
I like the "prep book" series, from picking up a car, highlighting its faults, fixing them in house or elsewhere before cleaning the car up and selling it in the same episode.
For anyone interested in 996/997 911's it's worth a look.

Have to give TGE credit, a very funny video he put out with his brother. It was about working out during lockdown etc and JE gives a very good easy workout to do anywhere. No equipment needed etc. Good conversation about the need to be active during lockdown. Very funny when they're eating Nandos after.
This is where TGE is at his best, light-hearted content, a bit of discussion about the RSQ8 he's driving.
And I didn't know he had Covid-19? Said it was back in April and his lungs are still f
ked so he let JE do the workout.
