Episode 16 of Season 2 is all about test drives. Horatiu and Nate break down four big recent drives: • BMW M2 CS on track in torrential rain at Michelin’s Laurens Proving Grounds • Neue Klasse iX3 (iX3 50) first drive in southern Spain + laps at Ascari — why “Heart of Joy” feels like a leap forward in EV driving dynamics. • 2026 BMW iX xDrive45 (LCI) living-with impressions: comfort, range, hands-free Highway Assistant, and why it wins hearts even if the styling is… polarizing. • 2025 BMW M5 (G90/G99): ridiculously fast, surprisingly usable EV range, but also big-money and big-body — is it an “M5” or a “mini M7”? We also get into: regen smoothness (and why it matters for passengers), Panoramic Vision + iDrive X ergonomics, tire choice on heavy performance cars, and whether the iX has a future once Neue Klasse ramps up. 00:00 Intro 00:44 Episode theme: recent BMW test drives 00:50 BMW M2 CS track drive in torrential rain (Michelin Laurens) + is it worth it? 14:24 Neue Klasse iX3...
