BimmerCast Archives - BimmerFile

I'm a BMW guy and more than that, a "car" guy. Like Gabe, I purchased a 1M Coupe this year and have owned and driven more than a few BMWs. Accordingly, I can attest to the prescient assessments, analysis, insight and reflections of Michael and Gabe. BMW and automotive appreciation is in their DNA. These guys "get it" and importantly know how to "communicate it". A rare talent. My only request is that they guys do the shows more frequently. I know everyone is very busy but this is the oxygen we enthusiasts need.

The new M5 has the most beautiful face, that front bumper is so aggressive, so sexy. The normal 5 not so much, I don't like that open shark mouth look, I really dislike it from the front. The 3 coupes are always hot, they are my favorite BMWs. I enjoy your show, the only thing better for me would be an AMG podcast. I listened to the live Ring ride twice while washing dishes, made my task exciting.

One thing I like about the BimmerFile and the BimmerCast is that they don't just pass along the latest internet rumors. When Gabe and Michael put it out there, they've checked it against more than one source. Unlike some OTHER sites...

Wild speculation about ethanol in fuels, pronouncing marque as "mar•kee" and naturally aspirated as "nationally aspirated". I can overlook these things. We all get lazy and sloppy from time to time, but the episode I listened to, #34, sounded like Gabe was on his deathbed, waiting for that last pint gasoline to leave his veins. We're talking about BMWs here, right? What's sleepy about BMWs? If ever there was a brand to be associated with "energy" it would be BMW, but while the cohost is able to summon a few calories for presentation duty, Gabe spends more than half an hour sounding like pillow talk. The end of a long, hard day, he's in bed waiting to go to sleep, "mmm... shifters... fuel injection... mmm... Ecks-Three.... mmm five-series.... nationally aspirated... mmm...." What's odd is that he was always able to get excited about the MINI in his White Roof Radio work. I'm going to look for another BMW podcast.
