Beautiful, Less is more approach. It still looks beautiful because the design is so subtle. No Crazy front/rear end. The interior is simple, and has the basic functions. No HUD, back up camera, etc. And what really annoys me is, having a exhaust note come through your audio system. REALLY. BMW needs to look at the video OP posted. Bring back the " Ultimate Driving Machine."

I watch Matt Farah every day, but I'd rather hear Leno's opinion given their experiences and shear variety of cars Leno has owned and driven by comparison.

Leno is just different. I think he can find an acute appreciation for everything. His garage is the most insane thing I have ever seen. He has so much random stuff that is all very specific to his interests. What Leno enjoys the most is connecting to enthusiasts and discussing the passion behind the projects. Leno is absolutely the person to listen to about history and classics, where farah is more intune with new models, performance, mods, etc. They just different.

Leno is awesome

True enthusiast with good taste and class......clearly not a snob though

His show was also a refreshing alternative to the late night nonsense/drama that existed and has doubled down since.

But that in summary is why I would like him to share more. I like the geekiness, and would love more expression or detail.

Leno....more James May please, less Hammond and Clarkson!

Noodle maybe, but his more "calm" demeanor is closer to Leno than Clarkson or Hammond. Really I just wish Leno would be more technical on camera with his thoughts that's all. I'm sure off camera he looks over every inch and has plenty of interesting thoughts going around in his head.

Pretty much. There are so many shows that just quote specs and focus on head-to-head performance, which is awesome and super interesting but we can only have so many shows like that.

I would love to see more stuff of Leno doing deep dives into his collection and talking about various cars in his collection and why he has them.

After I was on his show, people always asked " what is your favorite car in his collection?" and the truth is, I cant pick one. I was impressed more with the sheer variety of cars in his collection. Everything there for a very specific and personal reason to him and it was super interesting to talk to him about these. His motorcycle collection is even larger than his car collection and is absolutely mind blowing.

Great little car. I prefer the round tail lights but if the square were stock that year than so be it. The Alpina wheels look good this size too. Sounded great. The guy had his BMW CCA hat on too, proper BMW guy!

Leno is great, knows his stuff and always seems to have the tech knowledge. The interviews seem honest.

The M2 badge, irrespective of any other reasons, looked odd due to the differences in the silver! Agree just make it a sleeper 2002.

[Ric in RVA]

Even a lowly M42 swap would be very cool in a 2002. Love these cars.

That BMW 2002 is simply beautifull.
Leno is a lucky guy. (with a lot of cash)
