Aww mr regular sounded sad when he made the correction :(
he sounds humbled and ashamed NOT sad
Tony Wellington dude make a mistake he shouldn’t have to sound like it’s the end of the world
@@DevinWofford when your job revolves around cars and motors and you've built one of your own, you'd feel like the end of the world if you told hundreds of thousands of people something absolutely wrong and thought you were absolutely correct
@@DevinWofford he should sound however he wants to sound - not up to you to decide you NINCOMPOOP
@@tonywellington7854 He should feel all 3 of those things tho. What a shame. May his family live in eternal shame. :P
Cliched as it might be, apologizing is always a sign of great character. My only issue is why do you sound sad in it! have a cheerful day Mr Regular! ( You have brought many a happy moment in our dull lives! )
he sounds humbled and ashamed NOT sad
Speak for yourself about dull lives, captain cliche
the original video released at like 3am so I think he stayed up all night fixing the new one. Must be super tired
Its a sign that he didnt want to re-edit the video lol
Thanks :)

This got me too

What did we learn? Fancy alternator does not a hybrid system make.

@@AndRootPro "His grammar correct was". Is that how it works?
ArthurAlcantara No, “correct his grammar was” have you never heard of inversion?
@@NishantDash Sorry, there was nothing grammatically wrong with that sentence. "XXXX does not a yyyyyy make" is a valid way of saying something like "XXXX does not mean it is a yyyyyy" Like "Reading a book does not an expert make."

*It's the Stealth video all over again*
More like the 300zx video - a grotesque lack of actual facts and made up information.

@@akishot6735 So what?

The hybrid misinformation lies more with the owner for not giving you correct information. If someone is going to offer up their car to be reviewed they need to know at least the basics about the car.
Misinformation seems to be the big thing Mercedes and BMW owners share in common
This was my exact thought. Embarrassing for owner, not Mister Reg
Nah, it's just a thing for many people who own expensive, and new cars. They don't care cause they don't need to.
@@leksasdf Again I don't care if you buy an expensive care but if you are going to offer it up for a review, you need to know at least the basics about it.
I agree, I was replying to imleonwhoru for being biased, but youtubes reply system is retarded. I agree that you should know your shit if you wanna participate in automotive journalism, no matter how novel, but that just happens to be how many premium buyers are.
The BMW can identify as a hybrid if it wants
How dare they assume its drivetrain. It's got new gender-fluid under the hood.
Taco Salad underrated comment.
Yeah and I can roll up a boot, lube it with cat shit and shove it up my ass😁
Sounds like Rupaul and Caitlin Jenner got together and had a kid.
Dude people make mistakes, real people man up to them! Bro love the rants😜
Aww, you removed the referencing of the electric system...that everyone couldn’t get over.
To be fair BMW wants to create illusion it is hybrid.
Evlo not true... I can’t find any reference to it being a hybrid on their website.
@@TheJacobshapiro so?
"So" Evlo, you're full of sh*t.
@@aserta you can write "shit" here, without replacing any characters
almost any BMW with a i6 i've seen has that super smooth and linear power band tbh
That's mostly right. The old 2l ones not so much *M52B20*
@@boggsty I had to look up the power curves of that engine out of curiosity... dear lord.
No power at all until 3500 rpm, and dies completely at 6k.
@@AliceC993 lmao im so glad i have its post-pubescent brother in my own car, m52b28. however, I'm putting an s50b30 intake manifold on it (right now, actually!) and it keeps the same power curve but just bumps it like 20-30hp depending on the tune.
@@AliceC993 I know this. I drive one :'-/

It's the new BMW hybrid!
Larp Larp Larp....
Good news!
So that's why BMW's never have blinkers. It's to save energy!
@@ianholmquist8492 James!
Can you disable the start/stop feature? It shortens the life of the starter and should not be put into non-hybrids.
NOT A HIGH BREAD.
Whoever writes the intro songs for RCR (I'm assuming Roman) is clearly a Sonic fan...
And I'm okay with that.
donnnnnnnt care
@@tonywellington7854 then don't comment.
@@that_camo_bronco_guy He's been trolling all over this comment section.
And...Steve Perry.
Roman's got a pretty good life. All he has to do is make up horrible songs and get paid for it. While we all wish he would just be silent.
B58 is all about two words. Closed decklid. The N54 and 55 were making like 700whp on stock internals with a big single turbo and E85. Beyond that the block started being an issue with it's open decklid design. That'll no longer be an issue with the closed decklid, so once the aftermarket gets to work on these, oof. The B58 will become the closest thing to a modern 2J really.
New Supra's owners aren't going to use their indicators...
The indicators will probably be Toyota OEM tho
This is even more hysterical than usual. Oh wow! Kudos to Mr. Regular for being self-deprecating. So strong. So. Strong. Thank you.
I'm an autist AND I'M PROUD OF IT! (This channel in a nutshell.)
NOT A HORSE
You are Mr.Regular, not Mr.Igeteverything 100%correct%100. Dont ever apologize again.
Travis Toole Um no. He was 100% correct apologizing for being wrong. He did the right thing.
This is not apology, this is soooooooooooooo regular thing to do.
Evlo He did apologize though.
It's the correct thing to do. No one said he has to get everything right every time. But to admit you were wrong, shows you can learn and move forward.
He can admit he got something wrong, but he doesnt need to apologize to us
What's a high bread? ⚡🍞
Bread with weed in it?
w00dmii5t3r so it’s basically a spacecake?
Dawg I'm laughing to death here
Can confirm the auto highbeam works amazing. Use it on my 235 whenever I'm night driving in the countryside. Also the rear sparkplug is pretty easy, that plastic cowl comes off with 5 bolts.
This is one of the few times Mr. Regular has nothing bad to say about the car. In fact, it sounds like he really likes it! Kinda makes me want one
MR REGULAR HOW DARE YOU SAY ITS A HYBRID ITS NOT A HYBRID THE ALTERNATOR (which is just an electric motor) JUST RUNS IN REVERSE TO PROVIDE ELECTRIC ASSISTANCE TO THE DRIVETRAIN AND CHARGES THE BATTERY REGENERATIVELY WHEN YOU BRAKE MEANING IT CAN USE BATTERY POWER TO SUPPLEMENT THE ENGINES TORQUE AND INCREASE EFFICIENCY BY HARNESSING ENERGY THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE LOST AS HEAT WHEN BRAKING!!!
wait... doesn’t that make it a hybrid?
Also, I’m curious as to if the manual non-Xdrive version has this same system.
This was not a sword you needed to fall on. Keep on being you man.
Dear Roman, Thank you for all of your mash ups..... They make me cry, laugh, and remember what was good when i was younger...
BMW drivers: how dare you call it a hybrid!!
Also BMW drivers: what’s a turn signal?
It's the thing I use every time I want to change a lane that none of the Honda or Toyota drivers seem to know how to use
@@honeybadger006 You're right. I always use my signal as a BMW driver and see a lot of other BMW drivers do the same.
Funny that people run with this joke, yeeet, i see that percentage actually being skewed towards dumb kids with deep pocket parents rather than actual BMW owners. To be understood, if you didn't pay for your car, and it's coming out of a fund parents set for you or right out of their pockets, you don't own it, you're just a parasite.
Turn signals don't make it go faster. They are just dead weight.
Yep. Far more a function of the type of person driving it than the car driving the owner not to use their signals. BMWs happen to attract their share of self-important Verizon store managers, though, so they take the piss from society at large. But your average wrencher who dailies a BMW 10 years or older? They're using their turn signals where daddy's money Kyle and his Su-bro-ru isn't. Not a function of the *_b r a n d_* , it's a function of the driver.
The hybrid commentary was the best thing you've done so far this year.
It's the perfect daily, isn't it. They've done it. Gimme.
I would agree, if it was MT
I love my manual 2 series
@732 Cars and Videos I don't think you can, anymore. Stupid, stupid WLTP :|
@@espen.o You can. The Xdrive is only available with auto, which I got as I do quite a bit of winter driving in a northern area of southern Canada...but a 6mt is available with rwd
Pedro DLR It isn’t a hybrid moron
HAHA, Sonic 2 music.
....lol Emerald Hill Zone....
Did you get a New POV camera? Seems really high quality :)
I drove one of these before and all of a sudden my 335i feels like an aircraft carrier compared to this.
Matthias H yeah I’m trading mine for an M2 just as soon as I can 👍👍👍
Daniel Lennon Nice. I was gonna trade my 335i in for a newer 240i but I backed out later on since mines a paid off vehicle and it’s been a reliable car so it would make more sense financially to keep it. I would like an M2 but where I live, I need a second vehicle in the winter otherwise it’ll just get bogged down.
Get a Cobb or Burger Mototsports tune for your 335i!
...but is it a high-bread aircraft carrier?!?!
Did you accually feel bad for thinking that its a Hyprid?
@Toxic Potato - Well. It would be weird to not mention it at some point during the video...He probably was less than thrilled by the idea re-editing the whole thing, writing a new script and re-recording the voiceover.
it's not a hybrid, it's a high-bread
lol thank you for keeping the false hybrid commentary in there. I think it attests to how smooth and complete this powertrain is.
The fact that this convinced Mr. Regular it was a hybrid with how smooth it is at low speed.. that's impressive. This is why a 230i is my attainable dream.
Anyone else notice the sonic the hedgehog theme from Romans intro
I try not to notice roman's songs. They are like the auditory equivalent of a migraine.
Yes, sonic 2 first stage lol.
Greenhill zone
My favorite game in ever.
3:05 “dearth” is a dope and underused word
Supra fanboys are too close-minded, and put the MK4 on a pedestal, holding it to an impossible standard. Ridiculous seeing as most have never driven let alone owned a Supra. This Supra is going to be great
It's just a different car with the supra name. Moving past the BMW engine, What else does it even share in common with the Supra name than a I6 engine? They're just trying to bank on the name bringing in more sales.
Invidious Ignoramus well you buy the rights to the Supra name for Toyota and do it “justice” ok?
@@sir3612 Ah, a non aruguement. Classy.
But look at the third gen supra, it has nothing to do with the fourth gen except the inline 6, at first the supra wasn't even its own thing it was a celica supra, just like any other car the supra is a name given to a series of sports cars made or owned by toyota nothing more, nothing less.
Invidious Ignoramus ok tell me the F90 M3 doesn’t have much in common with the E92. Does that make it a bad car? No. You people place too much weight on the ‘heritage’ of a car. Toyota is the manufacturer and we are the consumers. They are making a product that they see fit as an evolution for the Supra. There is no way they could please the toxic JDM community, unless they literally restarted production of the MK4
It's cool seeing you mention TheStraightPipes, you guys are my favorite car channels.
a blue one of these cut me off the other day, he put spacers on stock width wheels, it looked like a dude who missed leg day lmao. the tires stuck out past the fenders. looked like a baby brodozer
"Hippest car on the rollback" is your best line ever. And references to grandma's itchy couch.... holy shit you are ON IT.
0:19 the Supra isn't as pigfat as they say when it's parked next to a modern "small" car.
Judged against its contemporaries it is rather fat. Yeah cars today tend to be very heavy but the last gen Supra was heavy for an effective 2 seater with no cargo space.
I have a 2020 b58 m240i and so far it’s been amazing ! Just regular maintenance. B58 can take a beating
yes! finally reviewed my car! I just got one of these in November. The engine is amazing. The whole car is a real bargin. Also, can confirm all his Jokes are accurate.
One of the best voice overs ever.
THAT SONIC INTRO DOE
"This is the best you're gettin ma, go pester your other kids." Love it
That's a weird looking badge on that Toyota
I own an M240i non xdrive. It's a blast to drive. It doesn't have all the fancy soft closing doors, power trunk, head up display like my BMW 550i but in return it's super light and tossable; a true driver's car.
NOTAHYBRID
Just for that hybrid thing,.. I'm puttin a wood block in the pump handle, and lettin 1000 gallons run on to the ground next time I fill up my prius at Rutter"s.
I can only imagine how much it is going to cost to maintain and fix when parts need replacing
Unfortunately it's the same story with every single vehicle made after 2012.
@@ianholmquist8492 shut up buy a lexus theyre only "luxury" vehicle free to service. I hear you also dont need to change oil on them. Bulit proof cars yup not a thing goes wrong and its all free. I would know i drive a 2001 corolla with 300k to my 9 to 5 job and back and never go past 2k rpm. Ya 300k i know hard to believe. Lol at the fucken idiots preaching about shit they know nothing about. Very sad the abuse the new supra has taken but ooooo the satisfaction when it proves everyone wrong.
Stefan Cupovic try that again, and this time try to be coherent and make clear points instead of babbling....ps the BMW parts in the Zupra will be its downfall. Have you not seen the issues new Z4 owners are having? Check their forums.
@@shadyshinichi2JZ what’s the problem with it?
Dam, this video just spoke to me. “You want an E36? No, you don’t Kenny, you want a M240i.”
Mad Katz controllers? Close enough to the real thing? Jeez, someone hasn't seen the crap Mad Katz put out these days.
Christian Friis Sørensen their stupid 1 pronged N64 controllers were bullshit, but the original Xbox ones were decently comfortable, especially compared to the giant-ass Duke
I had one of their steering wheels back in the PS1 days, tried using it for Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer and such, turns out it wasn't even analogue, for the first 60 degrees of turning the wheel either way there was no control input sent to the console whatsoever, after those 60 degrees it sent 100% full lock steering input, it was the stupidest fucking thing ever.
The speaker jokingly but very accurately articulates serious, unspoken family issues we have all lived through. Well done sir.
So, it's not a high bread?
Thank you for leaving the line "it's a hybrid, not that you'd know it" in, I had a nice chuckle at that
TERK
Wait, Deja vu?
I've seen this vid. before
what did you just say?
That first full throttle pull reminds me of my dad's 5.7 charger RT. The sound and the pull. Nice
A Toyota Supra with a BMW drivetrain ie. BMW "reliability" and servicing/parts costs and NO manual transmission? A hard PASS!!!!
Get the M240i in stick, rwd, then do a qualfe Lsd swap
Just buy a 2J with a maunal trans for like 5-6k and swap them in.
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST jUsT 2j SwAp iT
@@mUnchaMaddNesS You know people are gonna do it. Hell I GTE swapped my IS300
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST understandable as it has its technically the ‘same’ block size and fitment however people need to leave old motors where they’re appropriate. If consumers demand more parts for new engines, new automakers would begin to see an expanding aftermarket.
the reading of speed signs is actually based off GPS and is common in other higher end Vw group vehicles for a while now.
I miss when this channel was more like a mixture of an LSD fever dream having sex with a Hunter S. Thompson Playboy piece and less "just another car review." Talk more about your lamps made of sheepskin that you found on a trip to the Amazon and the interrelation between 1970s ethnic food culture and Toyota drivetrains and less about ... regular car shit. The whole beauty of this channel is it's deep in car knowledge WHILE connecting the car to a broader, mysterious metanarrative and commentary--the key to its excellence is the presence of both ingredients in ample measure. Don't forget that, holmes.
I'm sick right low and i'm glad you posted something
More Sonic the Hedgehog Music! HAHA! LOVE IT!
oh my god, u saying otherkin made me laugh but also kinda killed me on the inside that that term exists
Erm, didn't Toyota have Yamaha build those engines you referenced?
I beleive at least 2 of them, yes
Yup. Yamaha isn't as close with toyota as it was when they built 1j/2j.
No, Yamaha helped design the heads but they were still Toyota engines.
@@Haloruler64 Fair enough. I've seen multiple sources saying Yamaha were commissioned to design the engines and others saying that Yamaha only did a few bits and I don't care enough to do any more research. I definitely shouldn't have said "build" in my original post though. At most they designed them.
2ZZ was partially Yamaha-designed, but the 3SGE and 4AGE were entirely Toyota.
That final comment. That was comedic timing right there. Found it really funny the way it was put right at the end. Might just be because I'm half drunk.
More Sonic the Hedgehog covers, please.
If you think I’m walking into a questionable gas station, seeing coke and RC right next to each other and grabbing the coke, you are surely mistaken sir.
The Straight Pipes got a shout-out ayyyeeee
Mr. Regular, one of the best wrap up analogies you've done. Kudos and thanks! But the truth about modern BMWs, any one of them is this - put aside $2-3.5k year beyond the maintenance and tire replacement if you own after it's warranty expires. They're not engineered to withstand normal use without large sums of money to keep them running.
"High-bred"
That a PA thing?
Supposedly it is.
thought it was a old people / man thing
honestly its refreshing hearing you mention all the hybrid stuff, saying that its making it smoother with the electric motor. Since it's doing it without an electric motor!
That dude needs to clean his car...
Big time. That instrument panel is covered in dust.
Kinda the aesthetic of a Regular Car Review though...
The cowl over the engine is just a plastic cover. Same on my E90. Changing the plugs and coils took me an hour, and 3 tools.
No subtitles? I'm trying to watch this in class without getting caught lol
Part of the experience is hearing Mr.Regular's voice.
Why not just watch it later?

CDP kawaii, no there's not much "Commodore" in there... Chevy did made a prototype (the Cruze-sized RWD 130R coupe) that was "an American 2-Series" (wonder why GM never went to build one as a Chevelle or even gave it to Cadillac as a "CT1")...
@@syxepop maybe they made it into the ats -v
14.1 Liters, NOPE. The "Commodore" (G8 and SS were 2 different generations of that Holden import) is a heavier RWD platform than the Alpha (same as 6G Camaro ) used, besides having 2 different origins, one in Oz [Zeta], the other Stateside [Alpha].
I know Camaros have been built in both Zeta (5G) and Alpha (6G).... (maybe that's the confusion)
@@syxepop but the Cadillac ats v is smaller and rwd
14.1 Liters, the soon-to-depart ('18 for sedan, '19 for coupe) Cadillac ATS is made in the same RWD Alpha platform family as the G6 Camaro, which is why there are complaints about lacking rear seat room (ATS is just slightly longer than the G6 Camaro) and the ATS-V engine is a 2T-3.6L V6 (shared w/the CT6 V-sport) rather than the V8's used on Camaros and on the former CTS-V.
The CT6 is made on the larger RWD Omega platform on which it was to spawn a CT8 flagship that now it's not going to be built. The rumored XT6 crossover is most likely from the FWD (C2XX) Epsilon-based "Chi LWB" platform as the new Chevy Traverse fullsized crossover, but with higher output engines and mandatory AWD (still slightly smaller than a regular Escalade).
I genuinely like that you are coming around to some BMW's Mr.Reg. get yourself a BMW IN BROWNNNN.

C5 isn't high bred.
Ahh a corvette guy. Of course you'd say that.
This 240i does around 360 hp from a inline 6.
It's not under the body. It's under the cabin filter. Anyways, 320hp stock. Single turbo inline 6, direct injection, dual valve timing/lift, this thing can easily push out 800 with the correct mods.
@@2jsanc681 Actually even better than that for the m240. It's pushed to "330" hp stock. But I've had mine on a mustang dyno and they actually make around 350-360hp stock. BMW underrates them :)
I respect the honesty man.
Still don't like that plastic festooned disposable motor.

It's clearly not your fault that a BMW (!!!) as a performance model can't be told apart from a lame hybrid. Oh the times we live in...
As an owner of this particular model, I can assure you that it definitely does not feel like a hybrid. The efficiency/eco mode is just to make you feel like you're not gas guzzling. I get 24 mpg average.

The Supra isn't supposed to have smooth power delivery. it's supposed to make you feel like you've engaged warp 5. Also, BMW engines aren't modable. This is the exact wrong engine for this.
This guy gets it. A supra is supposed to be the anti-bmw.
I'm pretty sure when the mk4 Supra came out it was a comfortable Grand tourer that was pretty sporty. Go back and look at the best motoring races that came out when the Supra was new. Also Toyota engineers from the 90s would probably wet their pants to get an engine with such a wide power curve as the B58. Pretty sure the high rpm rush would be considered to be a technical deficiency these days. Also if you don't think BMW engines are moddable you haven't seen the thousads of videos of of 335is putting down 600-800 hp. Lastly I'm pretty sure a stock Supra has a pretty smooth power delivery.
modern bmw engines are moddable. I have a JCW Mini with the B48 2.0T BMW engine which gained 70bhp off a simple tune. These engines can easily see over 350bhp with radiator and intercooler work. Time will tell if they’ll be a loved engine that people will spend time R&D’ing to push even more power out of.
@@lucazade6787 Right, but fixing it will be a pain, it will be expensive, and still boring. Supras were making 900 and 1000HP back in the late 90's after mods. I don't know. was a mechanic for a few years when I went to school and I've never seen a durable german engine.
jumbowana fair comment but saying there’s no reliable German engines is maybe too far. PD VAG engines, E36 straight 6 (minus cooling system) old merc diesels? (Mechanic myself)
