The VV guy is awkward as hell. He laughs at his own jokes and comes off as a cocky fat douche. Something about it I don't know, I think he just has a very punchable face.

Thank you, he's so painful to watch. Also love how he talks about his cars making x amount of power but in reality he's talking power at the crank. All for views

There's been too much drama with this dude I stopped watching a while back. M5 is better because I'm into looks and the e63s is an ugly and boring looking car. The performance is so close that it's a toss up and while the Interior is nicer looking than the bmw, it's less functional and idrive is still king. There I just gave you an e63s vs m5 review.

Can't stand that guy, wont even bother watching his stuff. I remember how he got caught lying about how fast his E63 0-60 is, people realized very quick that he was doing the runs downhill

if somebody wants to see actual dyno runs, and runs from the dig of E63s vs F90 M5, you should check out this video:

Cant believe that was not featured on here, but Parkers garbage was

I used to follow Porker's channel closely a couple years ago. I met both him and Eddie at the M1 Concourse racetrack in metro Detroit. Both seemed like great guys. Parker asked me a lot of questions about my profession which I found to be very humble on his part.

However apparently he and Eddied wanted to go in different directions on the channel and he kicked the guy out and made some threats such as "I will end you." Shortly thereafter he moved to LA and became a typical clickbaiting Vlogger. Haven't watched any of his vids in a solid 1.5 yrs now.

The Rob Dahm thing was stupid. Rob was the douche in that scenario. He seems like one of those dudes who puts on a persona of being chill and nice but he's actually two-faced as hell.

Lol. Eddie's own channel never seemed to have taken off. When they were together I enjoyed all the Asian jokes people made in the comments.

I won't click his. I went to great lengths to make YouTube never show any of his vids as suggested.

I greatly dislike video thumbnails vid someone making a face and then some clickbait text on the thumbnail saying "must see" or something similar..

Not surprised he picked the 63 as the winner as he owns one. That did not influence his decision i guess

Skip. Almost as terrible as Shmee...

I'd rather watch a napkin...not moving or anything. Just sitting. Actually sounds exciting in comparison need to go find a napkin.

1.) Biased review 2.) M5 doesn't have the carbon fiber roof. Just my thought.

f90 is too similar to f10 imo. drove one yesterday the straight performance wasnt as good as my f10 with tune. perhaps heat soak? would have to drive the e63s to know which is truely better but seems like e63s is favored in many reviews.

I personally think he's a nice guy, and doesn't come across as a know-it-all or anything, just really into cars (as are most of us).
He is a nice guy.

He comes across way to strong and is misinterpreted as him being cocky.

He just needs to back it down a notch and his natural side will stand out.

People are generally jealous. These guys are not claiming to be experts they are just successful dudes who are making tons of money and i believe people arenaturally jealous of that. Shmee even got a free F90 from BMW and they even let him film at the BMW individual Manufaktur. I dont know any regular guy out there that is so connected in the automotive industry than that guy. Ford even gave him a build for a GT. Porsche let him film his GT3 being built, He has connections at Mercedes. I mean you gotta give these guys props for being creative and the handsome rewards that comes with being a successful YouTuber.

Just comparing the names of both cars, it's easy to choose M5 over an E 63 S AMG

you realize manufacturers are giving them the cars for free marketing right? they aren't "connected" they have massive followings that will die out very soon.

i'm not commenting on whether i like schmee or parker, but the fact stands that they both have somehow pissed off a good portion of car enthusiasts who have come across their channels. it's not jealousy. parker straight piped his s550. who tf wants that. schmee just sounds annoying. i don't want his voice or his wardrobe.

If Parker went with his own style instead of the latest antics of trying to be like Shmee and Doug DeMuro, I think people will less annoyed with his latest reviews.

I don't think anyone really knows the full details. I can read between the lines though.

In the early days Parker and Eddie used to collaborate on a % Of the videos on the channel.

As the channel got bigger and made more money Eddie probably asked hey how much of the channel is mine.

Parker being the Savvy business guy he is probably low balled him or said none. Eddie flipped out because he thought they were making a channel together and quit the channel to start his own.

To Parkers credit, he knew the position he was in. He was the face of the channel, there was probably no legal obligation on his part since there were no signed documents. So why give up equity when he doesn't have too.
