E90 on Top Gear

JBOO · 06-19-2005, 03:03 PM

For those who can watch it, the E90 will be on Top Gear tonight.

I'll try and post a review afterwards.

jbl16 · 06-19-2005, 03:20 PM

anyone know any channel in the US that is gonna show this tonight?

CC 330i · 06-19-2005, 03:24 PM

Speed Channel shows episodes of "5th gear" which I think is the same show, but the episodes are usually a year old or more. I don't know of any other channel that shows this program.

Does anyone know if "5th Gear" and "Top Gear" are the same show? They seem pretty close, but I am confused at the name difference.

E90Fleet · 06-19-2005, 03:42 PM

No, 5th Gear and Top Gear are 2 different UK shows

thebigman · 06-19-2005, 04:32 PM

Shame the Stig didn’t rip the 320d around the track.

Clarkson seemed quite taken with the Bimmer - which is unusual for him. I seem to remember he was less than favourable of the E46 when he reviewed it on Top Gear all those years back. Not a great show tonite.

E90Fleet · 06-19-2005, 04:34 PM

We only get the 30Min one on BBC World and all they showed toninght was where they took 3 cheap cars and fixed them and then raced them ( old 6 Series, Old Jag and a Mitsubishi )

No E90

vivekk · 06-19-2005, 04:38 PM

Top Gear is repeated on Tuesday June 21st at 23.20 on BBC1.
I missed it tonight, so will wait till then.

I should have the E90 portion of the June 19th Top Gear episode in the video gallery within the two hours. Keep your eyes peeled for it.

Not bad review from Top Gear. I was expecting a lot worse.

Broken1 · 06-20-2005, 03:37 AM

chrisbin · 06-20-2005, 06:39 AM

"sofa on castors....."

I am so glad I ordered those 162's.........

jbl16 · 06-20-2005, 08:01 AM

Arrrg, i was expecting a 330i review

, still good they didn't bash it too much

JBOO · 06-20-2005, 08:28 AM

Overall the comments were good for the E90, but I agree, it was a weak review.

Robin_NL · 06-20-2005, 08:49 AM

It was nothing actually.To stand out of the crowd I have to get me a Ford Mondeo(not a Ford GT, superb car

) instead of a 3 series.

Loved the Cadillac CTS-V.

YYdoodle · 06-20-2005, 04:55 PM

Jeez how'd you guys get this clip so fast? THanks for putting it up for us. Hopefully we see a 330 review soon
