Both Sami and Benjamin drive the 2019 BMW X2 M35i and realize it's not a crossover, but a hot hatch. Sami then puts Benjamin through the ringer with a lightning round about the supercars from Geneva auto show, and things get weirdly focused on how many clutches it takes to win Benjamin's heart.

Show Notes
When is a crossover not a crossover? When it's the 2019 BMW X2 M35i, a hot hatch contender disguised as an SUV. Benjamin and Sami each spent a week with BMW's quickest compact and have dissenting opinions on how it compares to its less-mighty xDrive28i predecessor. Things get weirder with a lightning round focused on the Geneva auto show's supercar crop, of which Benjamin becomes obssessed with how many clutches it takes to achieve global mega-car dominance, and then ponders the question of whether all exotics should be named after somebody's parent.
