This is how all test drives should be filmed! The guys from Winding Road built a good reputation for themselves with their test drives. The thing that makes theirs so special is the way they film them.
The point of view camera and the audio recorded with in-ear binaural microphones make their videos the closest thing to the real deal, enjoyable from the comfort of your own home.
Of course, everyone would prefer the real-life experience but a lot of people out there can’t afford the cars they’re testing, like the 640i xDrive Gran Coupe from their latest video.
In the US, such a car starts at $80,600 MSRP and that kind of money isn’t easy to raise. Also, you should keep in mind that this is the starting price, a model fitted with a couple of optional features easily going up to $100,000.
However, you do get a beautiful car with a more than capable 3-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder inline engine making 320 HP and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. Hooked up to the standard 8-speed gearbox and the xDrive all-wheel-drive system it will do 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds, as the gentleman behind the wheel in the video shows us a couple of times.
