Lol, I don't blame you guys. /DRIVE+ recently switched to "TV-like" episodes that lack a lot of the detail that many of us enjoy. To that point, the F80 vs. Dinan S3-R video is pretty lackluster (~8 minutes in total), but obviously worth watching if you have a subscription.

I really like Matt Farah and his style, but I wish he went into more detail about what makes up an S3-R. Instead, he makes general statements about it's stroked 4.6L V8, HP figures, etc., but leaves out the story behind the car (e.g., interview Steve Dinan to get his take). The F80 had a Dinan tune and, while mentioned, it was also glossed over. I happily watched both /DRIVE+'s F82 6MT review and now this comparison. With that said, I'm likely going to cancel my subscription because I just haven't been all that happy with the content/detail. I have, however, wasted $4 on a lot worse things.

I hate that guy personally. He just says the same generic stuff in every video he does, and adds in that stupid laugh of his and then says "OOhhhh this car is FAST".

I could barely justify Drive+ when Chris Harris was on there. If he did a video weekly, then maybe. But now that he's leaving, having Farrah and that Spinelli guy makes me absolutely not want to watch it. I'd rather watch those 2 guys from Everyday Driver

bummer was hoping to watch.

Cyberdemon · 01-21-2015, 08:52 AM

Yeah I actually subscribed and then found out Chris was leaving which kind of ruined it. I'll give them my $4 for a few months to see how it goes, but so far I'm not loving the long format episodes. Just give me 3 different clips and let me pick which ones I want to watch.

Don't worry...you are not missing much. Reminds me that I have to cancel my /Drive subscription.

That was Joe's F80 from Performance Technic. Great shop....get all my BMW work done there.
