      Taylor only has himself to blame for that blow up. First of all it is a BMW. They blow up! Second of all and this is the big one... He rebuilt the engine, I think I remember you saying he did something to the engine. Never let it run in and then bombs it on the road. Yeah, well it is a BMW and well, they blow up!!! I have witnessed this myself when I had a 1980's Y reg 5 series BMW. Mine did not blow up. But the 3 series that was on the M11 and refused to get out of the way, let go right in front of me! I still loved my old 5 series it was oh so comfortable on the road. Anyway! That is my 3 cents on it! You better release the next video quick! Enjoying this.

Been hanging for another Auto Alex video and great seeing the Golf on the road and going to Germany (Car Throttle video) (I'm commenting on my favorite Germans channel) ...
