Sometimes when I'm giving an opinion about something or I "review" an item to my gf, I talk and use Chris Harris' jargon and mannerisms/voice. She loves it when I do it. Cracks her up and makes her smile. For a brief moment I think she thinks I am him and that she really lucked out in life. Then I use my normal unHarris voice and then the smile disappears. That's when I realize I'm the one who lucked out lol.

I get my first BMW and first M car in 7 days. I'm going mad!

Yes, and it's not just him. I like Chris Harris a lot, but I'll be glad when he and reviewers in general stop drifting the corners.

I think his drifting is a bit overdone, but I get that a good chunk of his audience loves it. I much prefer his straight-up analysis and perspective on the actual car dynamics, comparisons, etc. He's one of the best in the business.

Ironically, he no longer has this car. He returned the Signal Green M3 loaner back to BMW almost two months ago.

The drifting does kind of get old but at least he does a normal lap and a drift lap which is better then just one or the other in my opinion. Either way, each episode follows the exact same script so I'm sure it helps to have as many types of driving as possible (street, track, drift, etc..)

If all he is getting from Top Gear is a web page on their site where he can continue to do what he was already doing on YouTube... I am disappointed. He deserves to be on the actual show itself. I would have preferred to see him continue "Chris Harris on Cars."
