Nice one Joe 👍I like this sort of more personal style of videos, especially when you are not afraid of showing your emotions like in the first one. Makes you an even more likeable guy
Interesting how people’s opinions on Staffy’s differ so greatly. My old neighbours staffy attacked another neighbour to the point of life threatening injuries a number of years back. Very aggressive dog. But I guess with this breed it comes down especially to training and discipline at a young age. 🙂
Can't believe been watching you since I was 15 Almost 23 now 🤯 Great journey and content over the times, can't believe you are getting press cars now 🤣
Oooh, sunny weather, lovely. A bit strange that there seemed to be no car on the roads in your brother's neighbourhood! If only we had empty roads in the bigger UK cities like that!
My brother too, lives in Melbourne. Got back early this year and said I'd leave it for a few years because of the flight duration (been there 3 times). Kind of want to go back already looking at you in this video. As for the XM - will wok in Oz. Not sure about London.
I haven’t seen any XMs in the suburbs of Sydney where I should. Worse only 1 7 series in 2 years. Lots of new S classes though. At least the X5 and X7 sell up a storm.
Anyone else from Melbourne on here playing 'guess the location'? He's off the westgate FWY if "Kings way" slip is showing. Brother Jack lives in.... Williams town? Footscray? Flemington way?
Haha... Joe your Vlogs are fun to watch, I had to double take for a second at the beginning of this one when I realised you were in the lovely Yarraville Village about 1km from me. Lucked it with the weather for that one day only 😅
What does your bro do out there. Joe. Cheers. 31. Early spring. Melbourne doing well this early , Cairns was wet and freezing in July / Aug when was there.
Where you got the drink and food in Melbourne took me back to when I was out there. Although it was September, it was 13 degrees, and pissed down with rain one day 🤦🏼♂️ The Crowded House song 4 seasons in one day (apparently written about Melbourne) had never been so appropriate 🤣 Love your brothers 🐶 🐶
The looks on camera vs in person is always different. I always tell myself that i might actually like some BMWs in person. And i do. But I saw an XM a few months ago and it really didn't grow on me 😂
Hope you enjoyed the race! I did, as always, but this time on TV. Silverstone was great though this year! £175k for that XM - no thanks (not that I can afford it). Sadly, after all that I saw Australians subject to (and not push back hard enough!) during the pandemic by their government/police, definitely not a place I will be visiting any time soon.
You’ve obviously read some exaggerated articles - the governments handling of the pandemic wasn’t that bad but it varied state to state. My state, Victoria, had the hardest lockdowns/regs but it was alright in the end.
@@nathanrunciman88 Nope, definitely not exaggerated. Especially when you see video footage of it. Especially in Victoria, if you were happy with it then you are definitely in favour of a draconian, authoritative government. The impact of the lockdown measures has had a massive impact, even one that we continue to see here in the UK.
Boiling across the Tasman where you are and freezing here in Auckland. I have an arctic grey X5M50i which I absolutely love and am debating going electric in the future but the XM styling just puts me off, it’s horrendously ugly.
On the whole gas v ev debate, as much as EVs are cool, gas is just better. Think about it: 1) gas is actually better for the environment in the production phase (lithium mining) 2) gas cars actually generate some kind of noise 3) being tossed back in your seat is not the only thing to going fast 4) EVs require FOREVER to charge
1) Production is a very small part of emissions over a vehicle's lifecycle. EVs are far better for the environment in total over full lifespan. 2) Majority of people want their car to be as quiet as possible. 3) Definitely true, regardless of powertrain. ICE HP wars are dumb too 4) True for roadtrips, but for daily driving plugging in at home is far more convenient than going to the gas station, getting oil changes, spark plugs, etc. I'm a car enthusiast and love ICE engines, but EVs have real advantages for avg consumer, especially as they continue to get cheaper. Both ICE and EV have their use cases and they will coexist for decades.
I will never drive an EV it’s a shame what politicians and the car industry have turned vehicles into. Fortunately In Australia we still have almost zero infrastructure but I laugh when we see how Europe struggle and EV resale values plunge and Australia keeps ploughing its furrow into the same mess as our infrastructure support is even more fragmented ❤. 😂
EV vs Combustion is just a distraction from the real issue. Western politicians run by the WEF and the illuminati puppet Klaus Schwab want to ban all cars in the long run and cram us into carfree 15 minute cities, where we "won't own anything and be happy". The only way to get around will be your own two feet, a bicycle or public transit at best.
@@brandondapromate not in this country I'd like you to drive 2500ks in 3 days all can say is see you when you eventually get here. In Oz once you leave the cities there is NO charging infrastructure. There are friends of mine that travel 250ks one way just to shop.
Love the video Joe and great to see how well you’re doing. But… really don’t like the xm. At all. A monstrosity of a car. As you said, at least the colour is sensible and it’s not one of those stupid multi colour models.
Nice one Joe 👍I like this sort of more personal style of videos, especially when you are not afraid of showing your emotions like in the first one. Makes you an even more likeable guy
Staffy's, now that peaked my interest. Best dog breed ever.

Almost 23 now 🤯
Great journey and content over the times, can't believe you are getting press cars now 🤣
Sorry just seen this, AMAZING! Thank you!
Great video Joe. Nice to meet your brother. Thanks for sharing...
Jack has your arm cross but clearly got the family hair 😂
Last lap of the MotoGP was insane. My favourite motorsport aswell. Would love to get to one some day!
Can't believe you are going to the Phillip Island MotoGP. That's a dream of mine. Enjoy! And I agree that it's the best racing series in the world.
When you said the first dog was called 'Tango', I was hoping the second one was going to be called 'Cash'!
same here. A man of culture . cheers
Jeeeez they hooked you up with a beast! Enjoy your time there mate
Your bro lives at my old suburb ... it's quite a treat to see you gys chilling there!
Oooh, sunny weather, lovely. A bit strange that there seemed to be no car on the roads in your brother's neighbourhood! If only we had empty roads in the bigger UK cities like that!
Your brother's dogs are 😍😍😍 I want them 😂
I keep seeing a XM in Burford it is abit garish but I actually really like it especially from the back there’s nothing else like it
That XM is awesome inside and out.
Great seeing your bro on the channel. This was a lovely vlog..onto the next episode! :)
Nice joe, keep them coming
My brother too, lives in Melbourne. Got back early this year and said I'd leave it for a few years because of the flight duration (been there 3 times). Kind of want to go back already looking at you in this video. As for the XM - will wok in Oz. Not sure about London.
The XM stands for everything wrong in modern cars tbh.
Dravit grey looks amazing in the sun!
Lovely town you brother lives in 👌🏻... XM looks very hi tech 👍🏻
Love this style of video! Keep it up and enjoy the weather! :D
I haven’t seen any XMs in the suburbs of Sydney where I should. Worse only 1 7 series in 2 years. Lots of new S classes though. At least the X5 and X7 sell up a storm.
They grey looks unreal
As someone who used to live in Yarraville, this is making me homesick! Lovely place, hope you enjoyed the village.
love this format joe, makes me want to go to Australia. keep it up
Squishy the dog loool
Only been 2 days but I'm loving the vlogs! It feels like we're taking the trip with you
Before you leave Australia, you should try Coopers Pale Ale or there Sparkling Ale!
More of these travel Vlogs please Joseph my good man, really enjoying them
oh my gosh those dogs!!!!! Not even into dogs. Brilliant
Hi Joe , I am a fan of yours, since you are in Melbourne I would love to show you my one of its kind X5M competition if you are free 😂

Great vlog Joe. Your kid has got to shave his nappa ! Tell him 😂
format suits you. good vid
Awesome Joe, I love Moto GP too. Philip Island's on my bucket list. Hopefully you get to film at Lukey Heights mate.
What does your bro do out there. Joe. Cheers. 31. Early spring. Melbourne doing well this early , Cairns was wet and freezing in July / Aug when was there.

Very enjoyable upload. 😎👍🏾
Is that a South African accent on your brother I hear? Lovely vlog Joe!!! 🤩😁😁
The looks on camera vs in person is always different. I always tell myself that i might actually like some BMWs in person. And i do. But I saw an XM a few months ago and it really didn't grow on me 😂
Scran looks fkin luvly joe ❤
Good times dude, you going to the Supercars on the Gold Coast this weekend?
Wow that XM looks sick. Can't believe you have it in Australia. When you coming to Sydney?
Still think it's a weird looking car, but the performance is amazing 👌
Beautiful car
I think South Africa is very slow on having Ev's

You guys have the same voice 😂😂.
CarPlay not filling screen looks odd
It’s me or the beers pack so expensive???
Jack's dogs are so adorable!! Great to see them! I still think the BMW XM is a BMW nobody needs. An iX or X5 are far better.
I just remember that XM was Citroen..

Oh dear, possibly the most horrendous looking car to have hit the roads in the last 20 years. Keep well Joe.
Why
Drove a XM at a M event in Seattle this summer. Certainly a different vehicle than my M340, but I really enjoyed it. Tons of power!
👍🏽👍🏽
Why don’t you use your brother’s name? lol.
Is it me or do Joe look miles to big in that car ?
Looks cramped Joe.
I will never drive an EV it’s a shame what politicians and the car industry have turned vehicles into. Fortunately In Australia we still have almost zero infrastructure but I laugh when we see how Europe struggle and EV resale values plunge and Australia keeps ploughing its furrow into the same mess as our infrastructure support is even more fragmented ❤. 😂
This seems like a rather uninformed take. What’s wrong with EVs…? They’re faster than gas powered cars by far, it’s an obvious next step
@@brandondaprosome people care about more than just 0-100. Believe it or not

@@brandondapro are you joking? Shocking mpg for start
What a waste of money….in the states those are just sitting in show rooms not selling.
Not Joe pulling the "back to the future" on us and hanging out with himself. And why do you keep referring to yourself as "my brother"?
Love the video Joe and great to see how well you’re doing. But… really don’t like the xm. At all. A monstrosity of a car. As you said, at least the colour is sensible and it’s not one of those stupid multi colour models.
They didn't dress the Tyres smh
Just forget that's it's an M car and how hideous it is! And it will be just fine!
Also might as well not think about the price... 🤦♂️
Holy crap is it an ugly car
:o
When cars are built by kids from Lego blocks 😂 🤮
And another (i3 & i8 too) useless but beautifully engineered car from BMW.
Sorry Joe but this is such a terrible car.... 0 excitation.
It’s a disgrace of a car
BMW has so many press car because no one is buying them. Everything is cringe about it.
