TT:   / downshift_media   Website: https://downshiftmedia.us/ -- 0:00 - Intro 0:20 - Engine/power BMW 382 hp & 369 lbft In reality its more like 400 or just over at the crank Very broad power band Very quick from a dig Very smooth power delivery Genesis 3.3TT V6 365 hp & 376 lbft More character vibration w/ tune it feels VERY fast at high speeds Tune build power kind weird Just generally feels like it’s working harder to make the power - 3:42 - Transmission BMW ZF 8 speed Incredibly smooth at casual driving Incredibly fast at hard driving Genesis 8 speed Is quite good, just not QUITE as good as BMW No way to put it in full manual mode….wtf - 5:40 - Fuel economy BMW I seem to get 28-32 mpg no matter what..unless I’m totally thrashing it Genesis Struggled to get 20 mpg over 100 miles…in eco mode…all highway To be fair that was at like 14 degrees - 7:28 - Casual drive/ride BMW Suspension is WAYYY too stiff Idk if this is just the static dampers or if someone put coilovers on it But 100000% get the adaptive suspension if you get this car Genesis Way more compliant ride Weird lateral shifty-ness over bumps on highway (tires?) Slightly more cabin noise Seating position is an inch or two higher than I’d like - 9:50 - Spirited drive/handling BMW Super sharp front end Tires are going to give up before anything else (skinny bridgestones) Weight balance is great Chassis strength is great Traction settings allow for more fun Genesis Even with these big tires on it feels more prone to understeer Best thing is the steering - way better than BMW Chassis is very good Front end feels a little lazier than BMW but marginal Gearbox is a little slower Still brilliant fun to drive Active bolsters are very fun - added drama - 13:00 - Looks It’s a wash I like seeing G70s on the road, they’re more rare and therefor more unique I like the BMW in white and I like the Genesis in black - 15:15 - Trunk/cargo BMW’s is bigger The floor on the Genesis feels high - 15:37 - Rear seat Rear seats in the Genesis feel more cramped Weirdly little foot space - 15:55 - Luxury/build/materials BMW I don’t have the Vernasca leather I have the Sensatec - and it doesn’t FEEL like i want a BMW to FEEL The leather feels very synthetic - it doesnt breathe - and i think that will start to be a problem as the weather gets warmer Also the armrests aren’t leather, the dash feels cheap That said, it’s slapped together REALLY well Despite the harsh ride I dont ever hear squeaks, creaks, or rattles Genesis The leather is 100% nicer Cooled seats Cupholder location makes more sense Active bolsters The ride is more luxury car G70 wins this piece by a mile - although there was a noticeable center console creak - 17:47 - Tech Things G70 is missing 360 camera Digital cluster HUD Things BMW is missing Driver assist stuff Good speakers - 19:35 - Price New vs Now When new the Genesis was thousands cheaper To this day you can get a comparable G70 for around 10k LESS than the M340 - 21:00 - What's Next for the cars?
