Vehicle Virgins F90 M5 review

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Parker (YouTuber that runs Vehicle Virgins) is shooting his review of the M5 today, comparing it to his E63s (and an e63s wagon, because his e63 is tuned to like 740hp).

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).

What is your opinion on the Eddie and Parker Fiasco?

Seems like an unfair business decision. Not something a nice guy would of done.

There won't be a drag race,...there is a difference between a "YouTuber",...and a person with enough experience to handle a high performance vehicle!

I checked out Parker's review of E60 M5 and E39 M5,....he about lost it in the e60 M5...as evidence of the car starting to get 'sideways' at the 6:25sec mark,...then an edit occurs.

Other than that,...he's a very successful YouTuber,...and you can't fault him for that.

We couldn't really race because the AMG wagon only had about 500 miles so LC was disabled.

I'm just curious, because I haven't been following Parker's channel for very long, and I've only met him once and chatted for a few hours, but why do people dislike him so strongly?

I guess maybe this is normal for YouTubers to be disliked? Because Schmee was also getting a lot of haters in the thread about one of his reviews lol.

I've been following the channel for quite a while and Eddie was bringing absolutely nothing to the channel. He's boring as f@?$.

Agreed.

Even though he is an E63 owner, I reckon he was fair and unbiased in his review.

I pretty much agree with him on all points except one. The E63 has the better rear end. For the rest, he summed it up nicely.
