    After visiting Richard Hammond at the smallest cog, i was confident that id just about finished the restoration on the e46 BMW m3 that i found abandoned at a race track but before i dropped it to the bodyshop to finish the paintwork i wanted to go and enjoy the car! What better place than the Nurburgring in Germany, the most intense and dangerous tracks in the world!

      S54 throttle actuators and throttle position sensors are something I keep on standby for my own car. I’d hazard a guess that they last 75-100k miles, but when you need one, you need it right then.

    I lived about 55min from the ring and was able to take the drive over often. Sometime I would just hang out in the parking lot because I had a bad feeling. It was never a waist because of the scenic B road drive to the ring, cars and people you see at the Nordscheife, and the Autobahn on the way home was always so much fun. Mat I’m glad you got to experience that and share the moment with us.

    Throttle actuators in these are famous for going wrong. In my old E46 M3 I always kept at least 2 spare in my glovebox, along with a MAF sensor. The front actuator is usually the culprit, but the one under the intake manifold can also go out. Actuators only cost about 45 quid brand new here, you got ripped off mate!!

    Gotta say I love watching your videos but not so keen on this. Timing laps isn't on and is dangerous for you and other track users. Thinking you know where you're going and what the tracks doing off the back of laps on a games console is laughable and pretty dangerous in my opinion. If the ring ever gets closed to the public it'll be off the back of people doing stuff like this.....
