Yea 360 deg totally unnecessary

ZKing1208 · 07-02-2018, 12:24 AM

Who gives a f%#¥ about the 360 video or Matt's physique. Just enjoy the video for what it is. Everyone is so f'n negative all the damn time.

It has the standard iDrive without Nav.

I'm pretty sure for F8x, Widescreen iDrive with Nav is optional in Germany, not standard like we get in USA. I wish we had la carte options ordering here, instead of being limited to packaged bundles.

I could do with a regular camera view.

Seeing the guy literally holding a camera from the back seat while at the same time getting limited view out the front. TLDW. I only made in 2 min in.

BMW is the best car.

All that weight on the right side of the car and it didn’t even phase Ron. woah

RPiM5 · 07-02-2018, 12:51 PM

I thought it was a pretty great video. I didn't mind the 360 too much. It just really goes to show what an M3 is really capable of. Very cool!

To give you a sense of the focus of a trained drivers eyes as he laps, not the overwhelmed gyration of a "bro" in a car that scares him.

How does Matt have such a following?

This is cool. I was there that evening and ventured out for my first ever laps in my new M3CS. Properly scared but once I was on the track it was fine.. ish. The rain was heavy for the second lap as you can see so didn’t push my luck.

What a place. Can’t wait to get back there.

I met Matt at the Pistenklaus that evening and said hello. He talked about the lap in awe of Ron. Really cool guy and his buddy’s too.

Jochen Mass also there which my mate was thrilled to get his autograph.

One off the bucket list that’s for sure.

Not quite getting the «360 hate» here?

The point is that you toggle so you can see from the angle you want to. Looking at the video in the default 360 makes no sense and is annoying, but toggle around and it starts to make a lot of sense. Most of the lap I watched the straight ahead view, with occasionally toggling to look at the driver and Matts face...

Because the camera's default view was aimed at the cockpit for some odd reason, and most people viewing it are using a device that doesn't support that function via the Bimmerpost App. Go figure.
