I have an idea : Non-Car Guy Reviews: Phil Ethan definitely have to drive it. Who wouldn't like to watch that ?! PS. Alex I know that you hate me right now :P
I love how Ethan is really stepping out of his comfort zone yet he recovers I didn't expect this to be a funny video but I had a smile on my face throughout the video I think we should get more of Eathn's reviews just make sure Alex is by his side because facts you know :D
That was brilliant. These 'non-car guy' episodes make me laugh so hard. Please keep them coming!!!! I was having a shit day and i haven't stopped smiling for a good 15 minutes now. Ethan is slowly becoming the man he wished he never was.
He’s so absolutely hopeless it’s actually incredibly entertaining. More please! Get him driving too, if his driving is any worse than his presentation style that’s going to be hilarious
He isn't as hopeless as it seems. What he said actually does make sense along the entire journey abeit some non-journalistic ways and views but pretty accurate how it is when you go for a normal test drive and all. I like it.
@@MrLolx2u what’s so clever is the mickey taking on journalistic style... ‘the interior is a lovely place to be’ is a skit on Joe Achilles who always says this, and so on.
People in England: “you’re not insured so I’ll have to drive” People in the US: “Who cares if you’re insured, just don’t hit anything or anyone and we’re good”
I'm guessing the UK has the system where the car insurance is attached to the car and the person driving rather than just the car. Where I live insurance is valid to anyone driving the car.
@@unknownmenace1957 yes you have to be insured to drive the specific car. Unless you have insurance on another vehicle that you own in which case most companies will allow you to drive another vehicle (not owned by you) third party only as long as that other car is insured by someone else. If you are 25 or over, that is. Ok, someone please jump in and explain what I've just said with better wording 😂
@@mikeh2006 I know the system as I've been to countries that have it. But I don't think you could drive any car as long as you had two insured. Though in all honesty, I hadn't stayed there long enough to have to even worry about insurance in two separate cars much less about driving random peoples cars.
"Let us shall" - RIP English. Love the vid, as a reasonbly new driver (at an older age than I care to admit!) I love some of these sillier Car Throttle vids.
this is Genius! edit: Maybe do an editing section with all Alex's remarks being cut out so it looks like Ethan is a pro, and then show how it actually went. :)
love you guys, you bring back the nostalgia in me, back when i didn't have my license and i wasn't working i was waiting for you to upload a video, now i have my license and work but don't have the time to watch hope you luck and the best
Honestly, money no object, a 3 series touring is my idea car. And this spec, with that cream leather, is just about the most perfect car I could ask for! Great review Ethan!
I actually, genuinely like it. I mean, we could see that Ethan's lack of car knowledge is slowly being erased and these things are what most drivers have to know even if you're a non-car nut and being in Ethan's shoes, its actually pretty good to know small facts about certain cars and even what the parts does. I wanna see more of this.
Absulutely love it!) This format is a complete something else! We have seen many funny tries of a stupid car guy making a car review- now it's time for a smart non car guy, and this looks really fresh! No car specialist, no skilled utilitarian car user, no typical car consumer- it is something in between and nothing close! And together with Alex's remarks this is a true informative car review at the end. Guys, thank you and keep going! (Of course it would be great to see new track built projects or restorations with Gareth- don't lose that format too!)
The reason why this Car is so awesome is the same as why I still hold on to my e90 LCI 330d. The N57 Engine is so good, you basically dont need more even if you like speed. The Car itself is brilliant and it feels modern.
You had me at tinfoil wrap and double cheesegraters, sold! Seriously though, I just can't bring myself to like BMW's, for some reason, no matter how good they are I've never wanted one.
@@niklaswejedal463 If I'm not mistaken the 3-Series also has a semi active grille setup. It shuts closed to increase mileage and only opens when the cooling is needed.
@@LucaBonato fam you guys are blessseeedddd,here where i live, people often pay upwards of FOUR HUNDRED GRAND for a range rover and THREE HUNDRED GRAND for a new 7 series
@@hayyaananwar7856 Here in Sweden it's not that bad, at least we get to pay the "normal" prices. But either way, it's still expensive. And it doesn't help that we pay about 10000 Swedish krona per year on average for new cars in tax. Especially if it's a diesel like that BMW. The Swedish state really hates diesels. In fact you're not allowed to drive in to the centre of Stockholm att all in a car with less than euro 5 emissions standard.
Great to see this kind of content from CT again and great subject; a cool BMW turbo diesel - just love that BMW know how to make brilliant TD engines. And yes, please more non-car guy reviews and more BMW reviews, both new and classic ones.
Difficult to tell if they're pretending to be awkward at reviews and idiots, or if they really are awkward at reviews and idiots. I'm going for the latter.
I love video concepts like this... like non watch people review watches and get their jaws ripped off when they hear of the price tag. Really nice video, i like it
This is the kind of review I never knew I`ve always wanted. Btw did no one notice that at 3:45 Alex goes to the drivers side and Ethan to the passenger side, presumably out of habit, but then they changed the sides in the next scene again? 😂
This is hilarious! Do more of these pls. I'm constantly switching from ethan doesn't give a fuck to ethan is enthusiastic! Would you be surprised if I said that it's got 700nm? - WHOAaaa..eh..
Brilliant video as always, you guys are so down to earth and realistic, don't take yourselves too seriously, it's what makes you relatable to your audience as normal people and I think its the secret to your success. Don't change guys 👍
I am genuinely happy for you. I got myself a F11 530D Touring last year and not regretting it so far. N57 in-line 6 is quite lovely to drive, good choice on your side as well. I reckoned you would go with nothing below 6 cylinders. Why not a 5 series though? I wasn’t able to get warm with the smaller 3 series. Cheers and have fun Alex!
Loved this! I hope to see more. My fiancé now ex broke up with me two days ago and this really made my evening. Best car content by far and very funny 🤣 respect ❤️
Oooh this is sooooo good, it deserves an entirely new series. Love watching Ethan butchering every single tech in the car and giving an honest, normal people answer. More, please. MOOOOOOOOOORE !!! Next maybe put Ethan in brand new S8 and have him experience the new top German limousine. Really wanna see how a normal non-car guy would react to a car that's more complicated than than the space shuttle was. P.S Also kudos to Jack. Superb editing. The really sent me ROTFL-ing when i was least expecting it.
Welcome to the diesel gang. I personally own a E46 330D and I love it. It's slammed and tuned with a straight pipe so my neighbours hate me. But I'm instantly happy when I drive it 😁
Great review Ethan! I am a proud owner of the new BMW 320d Touring and it is the perfect car, despite having a far inferior engine to the one reviewed. The clincher for me was the double cheese grater which comes standard on all models, unlike the indicators which I paid an extra £1500 for in the courtesy pack.
Torque so perfekt explained by Alex 2:38 "Power (or PS( is how fast you hit the Wall and Torque is how powerfull you smash trough the wall" greetings from germany, man.
Hear me out, from now on, Tech specs and driving: Alex Interior stuff: Ethan Running commentary and/or driving: Jack (Annoyed we didn't have any in this video) Sidenote: 12:34 oof
Loving the journey of Ethan becoming a car guy against his will.
It's his job, he gets paid to do it. Comedy aside, there is only so long he can play up being the non car guy as he should be learning along the way.
i think they are all in massive debt or close to bankrupcy and ethans not, so they dont want eth to feel left out
@@hayyaananwar7856 checks out. Couple of car guys being worried about money, thinking of how to fix it: let's not get anothet car guy in here 😂
RAAAPEE
Is this a RWD tho ?
Lets take a moment to appreciate how Ethan continues to be a non-car guy just for the sake of this channel
#PRAISE ETHAN!
i mean obviously he has learned A TON in last years, but by comparison he is still a non-car guy. a car-guy newbie? car-enthusiast?
@@fartloudYT A little bit car guy

Now we need to get Jack and Ethan to review bikes 😂😂
@Do One you're judgemental 😂😂 Alex hasn't got much riding experience
Let's all appreciate how easy it was for Ethan to do this review. He definitely is a natural
Ethan is just brilliant, should be in front of the camera more than behind the camera 😂
"Let us shall" - RIP English. Love the vid, as a reasonbly new driver (at an older age than I care to admit!) I love some of these sillier Car Throttle vids.
Ethan: doesn’t want to say the most common handling cliche
Also Ethan: says the 2nd most common handling cliche
1:52 "I wouldn't say that, and this is my review" Ethan getting sassy haha
this is Genius!
edit: Maybe do an editing section with all Alex's remarks being cut out so it looks like Ethan is a pro, and then show how it actually went. :)
Didn’t know I needed this
We love Non-car guy reviews...also being part of the journey of Ethan becoming a car guy is like growing up a child..
The outro was exactly how Jeremy Clarkson would have done.🔥 🔥 Rspkt
That's exactly what I thought lol
These are the types of videos to watch 😁
love you guys, you bring back the nostalgia in me, back when i didn't have my license and i wasn't working i was waiting for you to upload a video, now i have my license and work but don't have the time to watch hope you luck and the best
You guys keep reinventing. Love your work
Love the duet review where one pretends not to know. Breaks up the same thing that every other reviewer does.
I'll level with you guys and I don't say this lightly, this was the most entertaining review I've ever seen
Honestly, money no object, a 3 series touring is my idea car. And this spec, with that cream leather, is just about the most perfect car I could ask for!
Great review Ethan!
So jealous of you guys, wish we still got the tourings here in the states

I wanna see more of this.
I reckon deep down Ethan is the ultimate car guy.. disguised as a non car guy. We’re all just waiting for him to ‘come out’
That was the best car review I’ve ever seen in my life. Hilarious!! Please bring this guy back!!!!
14:03
Ethan: "Perhaps I will drive the next one."
Alex: "Perhaps, but probably not."
🤣🤣
Need a lot more of these...
This was hilarious!! One of the best videos on this channel!!
Absulutely love it!)

And together with Alex's remarks this is a true informative car review at the end.
Guys, thank you and keep going! (Of course it would be great to see new track built projects or restorations with Gareth- don't lose that format too!)
But Ethan is a car guy now, or at least he becoming one
Creative license, he covers up his extensive car knowledge for the sake of the video.
You can't talk about good MPG in a review where the car costs £61k. Who cares about the price of fuel when they've spent £61k.
Clicked straight away 😎
One of the best and funnyest Car reviews that I've seen.
Would love to see more🙃
You should buy the cheapest 4x4 suv you can find and later torture test it!

@Do One Sure, when you are in 6 years old enough to drive a car, we can talk again.
Such a good paint colour, shame the wheels are black.
Yes, definitely do more of these reviews! Gareth and his M4 for starters.

You made me so mad I accidentally indicated in my BM, I've never done that before
Carry on with this concept non car guy reviews
As a part time car guy its nice to see Ethan point out things i don’t know on a new car
I'm an IB student and my math mock exam is tomorrow. I'm watching this instead of revising. Anyway, whish me luck.
Good luck my g

Those kidney grilles look a bit off, other than that it seems a decent car.
Many new cars front grills are disproportionately large, to the point of ridiculousness.
This is still better than the new M3/M4 kidney grilles. Those are so unnecessaryly enormous

Best car review I've seen in years. Managed to hit pretty much every cliché and I didn't mind a bit. 👍
Love seeing Ethan. Been following for years since Alex was mobbing a miata.
I've just bought a 2016 BMW 335d XDrive Msport Saloon after having an S3 8p stage 1, and, to be fair, it's the best upgrade I've ever made 👌
