I've recently had an opportunity to "consider" buying an M2; no, I'd definitely not sell or trade in my 1M, rather I'd "sacrifice" another vehicle if I did that. But I don't think I'll do it, so that part of this is moot.
In the process of considering this move, and reconsidering some of the cars in my own little stable, I've been reading lots of car threads and at least attempting to watch some enthusiast videos.
My summary statement is that there are some people out there with too much time on their hands, who have actually no idea how boring they are! Granted, we all love Chris Harris and several others, who actually know how to make a video interesting, and to impart some actual information. And of course we have some rather interesting threads here and on companion boards.
But 45 minutes of blather about absolutely nothing of interest to anyone other than the home "videographer(s)," and, endless threads detailing what someone did to their particular car -- am I the only one who finds this stuff not only totally egocentric but also incredibly boring?

hahahaha welcome to the world of car forums
champignon, voicing your displeasure of the revolving door content is probably a no-no and is duly noted by most members, as most of us are already bleeding out of our eyes at the repetitive bombardment and numb to the constant egocentric posts by most people
but what can we do, its an egocentric world and car people are typically egocentric individuals. comes with the crowd and with the forum, we stick around cause we share a common interest, that is our cars
, and once in a while forums make for meaningful connections and fun information sharing. can't fault our so called "boring" videographers, they're putting themselves out there and i find no fault whether they are boring or not, i have an idea who you might be talking about, but hey his channel is huge, so obviously there's a market for his videos, i know what you mean regarding the style though, i too find monologues on cars from inside the cockpit kinda lacking but its hard to get good external shots + good audio, especially when you're a solo man team, so you got to be a little understanding, regardless
