00:00Welcome back to this week's episode of The Rev-Up, a special edition, because we're going to do a 0
00:04-100 with Frank Arthur, the co-founder of the award-winning publication, Man of Many.
00:08We're going to do it in this, the BMW iX3. So before we head off, I want to show you
00:12guys around the car.
00:17Jumping inside the iX3, the first thing you'll notice is the tech, and of course it's got a nice clear
00:21screen up there with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
00:24It's got all these other displays too, sport displays, driving information, tells you how efficient you are.
00:30And then at the back of the car, a really clear review camera with those yellow and red markings and
00:34lines to tell you how close things are.
00:35Of course, a massive boot, great for families, you can fit a pram in here and even some golf club.
00:41There he is.
00:44Frank.
00:45Man.
00:46So glad I found you.
00:49Tell me about exactly what you do at Man of Many.
00:51I'm the co-founder of Man of Many. I'm in charge of a bit of everything, a bit of marketing,
00:56a bit of sales, a bit of operations, just making sure we keep the lights on and keep driving towards
01:01our goals.
01:02So Frank, what are your first impressions of the BMW iX3?
01:05It's lovely, I like it. It's sleek, leather looks really good.
01:09How and when did Man of Many get started?
01:12We started in 2012. Scott and I used to be housemates and we started it as a little part-time
01:16hobby.
01:17We used to post up really short stories about cool, interesting, innovative products that were being released.
01:22We're now the biggest men's lifestyle publisher in Australia.
01:25And when you're looking for a new car, what's the most important feature?
01:28As a former designer, style, definitely, that's a must. And comfort.
01:33So we're almost finished. What have you been impressed with so far in this one-minute review?
01:36Well, so far, I just love it. It feels nice and spacious.
01:39It's got the big panoramic roof. It makes the cabin feel quite spacious and airy.
01:43Also, the cabin noise is very silent.
01:46The electric motor, you feel nice and comfortable and relaxed as you sit inside this vehicle.
