Riddled with adds! And a sponsor for the video...😡 Make the videos longer I get you have to make momey etc. But it ruins the videos mate
When are you going to make Tavarish shit himself on the Nurburgring?
@@RAGNAAAA oh no a slight inconvenience how terrible right?!
@@RAGNAAAA it's still better than watching mind numbing stuff on normal TV where for every 10 minutes of the program you have to sit through 5 minutes of ads. I'll sit through 20 seconds of adverts and sponsored content any day to watch stuff I actually enjoy.
content is getting worse
Even old R8 still looks fresh and not outdated
I think it still looks better than the new one
eh it looks quite old now
Well, Walter de Silva is the answer why it does.
@@shay7572 i agree :)
Agreed, the old R8 is still a fantastic looking car, however, I think the E46 M3 is one of the best looking modern era "normal" cars ever (I say "normal" as apposed to dedicated supercar platform like the R8)
Chris is a legend for letting you rag his R8
Yeah, respect for Chris.
They look better than the new ones Imo
the peugeot rzc r is the best car ever
Great video as usual. That M3 probably weighs less than claimed with the rust though
😂
yep, but horses also left over time so... :)
Rust is lighter than carbon fibre 😉
It weighed 1577kgs when Autocar tested it. Heavy car.
😂😂😂😂
More Alex and Taylor would be great. Such an epic duo. What happened to that car you were supposed to paint...? Vid stopped at primer and thats just wrong.
Like I’m sure Alex covered it during the Jimmy video and say there’s be a new video soon… instead Alex just keeps buying more cars instead 🤦🏽♂️🤣
What do you mean!!! Very realistic gearhead behavior to shelve a paint project at the primer stage. everything is rustproof and, ehh, I'm bored of this project lol.
I'm pretty sure I saw it all painted in the background of another video a few weeks back.
I wonder if it's exclusive
Noooo....
Let me guess, the rear subframe mount is completely torn apart and it´s gonna be a donor for a Touring M3
Чтобы его не разорвало, надо ставить распорку для усиления жёсткости кузова, для этого заваривают в задние стойки.
Its a bmw what do you quess ?
Damn that actually happened 😂
@@flamurshala956 to be fair, he stated before that he would trade everything for a M3 Touring and cracked sub frame mounts are a definite and costly failure for the e46. Given the last scene it wasn't that hard to put the pieces together😃
That R8 is truly timeless. One of the few supercars I could and would aspire to own.
only v10
@@Ivan-du6uq Agreed. The V10+ is the one I'd have.
Only v10? Lol. What do u drive?

Alex, not sure if you'll see this message but I'd love to say how much I enjoy and look forward to any new videos from you. You're a true car enthusiast like myself and that really comes across in your videos. They are genuine and fun, and I love to see that you can do that with great support from people such as Taylor. I also appreciate that you want to have a bit of fun and thrash your cars but you always do so sensibly and on the track. I find it so hard to find good car CZcams channels where someone isn't driving 100+ mph in a 1000bhp car on public roads. So thank you Alex, I will keep watching as you make more financial mistakes so we don't have to 🙂
E46 M3 will always be my favourite, nfsmw nostalgia! 💪🏼
Anything alex I’m watching
The R8 still looks amazing all these years later. Audi really did a great job on it.
At this point I'm running to these videos fast than Alex is going round that track!!
I'd like to see the M3 with some PS4S tyres on it too... I reckon it will be very close to the R8
came here to say this
and some proper timing equipment
Yea, those PS4S’s are magnificent
It'd be closer, but just not by that full margin, that's one hell of a gap for such a short track.
Awd is a great benefit on a slow track as this, so not that close I dont think.
Probably the R8 is the only Audi I would buy, even this old model is still looking amazing, hope to own one someday.
I even prefer the old model over the new one!
nahh the og rs5 is one the most beautiful cars ever made and that v8 is glorious. a well built b5 s4 is a thing of dreams rs2 rs4 and rs6 avant theres so many amazing audis.
check out the b8.5 RS5, same engine and still looks new
@@alalal123421 Cries in A5 3.2 2 door
Because it's the only Audi in which you don't smell VW
Two Great cars and they both still
Look fresh today. The R8 is a design that stood the time
There is an outstanding recall on the M3 👍
Air bag I bet
Mate ur vids have just gotten better and better. keep makin fire content,u damn well know how to do it.
Love this lineup! Keep it up Chaps!
Keep up the amazing work as always Alex and the crew, I just booked my practical driving test for 1st April
Good luck!!
Good luck mate
Hopefully you don't encounter any pranksters. Good luck!
Watch how the examiner at the end of the test says,
"I'm sorry, you've failed by 1 minor mark... APRIL FOOLS! YOU GOT 3 MAJORS YOU DUMB TWAT, FACK OFF!"
Thanks for a test I never knew I needed! 🙏🙏
The old girl has still got it! - Thats you Alex, not the beemer...
It's all about what gives you most fun and puts a smile on your face every ride!
I had an e46M3 for 8 years that I just sold for an R8. I miss the M3; it was perfect for the street and a great drivers car. In some ways it is more enjoyable than the R (cost/maintenance); the M also has developed an old car vintage vibe to it. On the other side, the R has the gated shifter, view of the engine bay, and handling which are next level. I don't enjoy the attention it gets but understand. The R is more stunning in person than on video; it is fun to watch the kids (and some adults) jump up and down when they see it. The M is a current classic, and the R is set to be a future classic.
I’d love to see a list of lap times for all the cars that have been sent around that track
Brilliant video! Enjoyed watching this!!
Great video. I was actually most impressed with the diesel BMW SUV on a very tight handling little circuit.
Good to see Chris again 👍
That design of the R8 doesn’t get old.
Just too round but they got it right next gen
i love this because we used to watch Top Gear drive 1980’s and 1970’s Lamborghini and Maserati super cars around the UK; but nowadays we watch auto alex’s rusty BMWs fight old Audi R8’s on track.
These videos make my thursday evenings so thank you
Two of my dream cars in one video 🔥
Chris is such a nice bloke
Hey Alex! How's the Fiat DIY paint job video coming along? 😄
My favorite UK car channel, hell it's the only one I watch. Comedy mixed with cool cars, can't get any better then that!
Yes indeed
Great video! What was the sound on the R8??
Love the new content Alex :)
Relatively wet track and the Xdrive helps a lot at the start relative to RWD. Yes all in all, they could take an SUV from Audi then it would be 2 seconds slower than the X3 and everything would match 😆
Very kind of you to let us listen to the engine this time Well done 👍
hahaha the music in between dawid does stuff uses the same one i thought i had another tab open
Car Vertical is great. However. What it doesn't show is when cars take a slap and they are slung into a budget body shop and repaired badly and in some cases unsafely with no photos taken and logged. So it's always good to actually check the vehicle over or have it professionally inspected.
the onboard sound of that m3 is just incredible,
if I was to have an audi r8 it would be exactly like the example in the video but rwd and probably with a better exhaust
Alex what do you think is better e46 or e92. I’ve got a e92 m3 dct atm if I did go e46 would have to be manual tho. Thoughts?
Should get the E92 M3 out as well, be an interesting test!
That 4.2 sounds so good !
So what were the wierd noises on the R8 ?
Great video Alex
Chris should be a commentator
What is the music from 8:40 to 9:00? Heard it on another channel and am curious about the source/musician? (and I REALLY want an E90 M3)
The mk1 R8 will never look old. Instant classic... Looking forward to Taylor in the next Ep. Legend!
you don't find a bmw e46 m3 with less than 20.000 euros here in spain, the average salary is about 25.000 euros, it's crazy how cheap cars are in the UK
Oh, I am looking forward to the next episode.
You need a board for that track like top gear head
Man that beemer is a shed.
Nicely filmed!
Good video. I wonder what tyres the M3 is on? And how much power do they actually have on a dyno and the exact weighed mass? The track does look a bit moist. 😂
That M3 is gonna become a touring isn't it..
Its easier to get a 330i touring and "drill" the 3.0l to a 3.2l...or just chip tune the 3.0l and give it some basic upgrades (cooling, intake/exhaust manifolds, cold air intake..)
Pretty sure they were lookin at the subframe mounts... I own an e46 coupe and this makes me a Little sad.
@@MisoElEven drill it to a 3.2? Dafuq you smoking? You’d have to do a lot more than bore out and remap an m54b30 to turn it into an s54 bro
@@MisoElEven no its not
@@MisoElEven you still need The wider fenders and all other m specific parts so its easiest is to buy a m3 with boken subframe mounts in rough condition and Put all The goodies onto and into a clean touring
Lovely Jubbly, great video. If all 3 cars were new now, it has to be your BMW all the way.
M3 E46 is mostly about fun, it is really easy to see how much fun does he has while driving. As the owner I can also say there is not a lot of cars what can bring so much fun.
Loving the focus and seriousness on your face while driving. You are good round that little track now.
Top tier content, surprised how fast the tarted up TT is tbf, but you just cannot beat the noise of the Beemers, even the diesel X3 sounded nice and I don't like BMWs 😅
Awd is key here.
Nothing quite like the Future Classic R8 V8 manual 8/8 IGN M8
The early R8s are the best looking 👏 awesome video guys
The R8 is a stunning machine. I did think the M3 (wheels and arches need attention) may beat it, not because of the stats but because they were putting up a tired car against a supercar which had been serviced, new tyres etc. In event that clearly wasn't the case, although the R8 failure at the end was concerning. The M3 was sought after in its day, yet time moving on, we now have an SUV which comes very close on performance. An interesting and enjoyable film. Thanks for hosting.
I’ve had a silver grey manual e46 m3 for 7 yrs now, new front wings and all the maintenance needed to keep the car running over the years, I tend to do 2k a year in it now but the rear arches have started blistering slightly with rust over the past year, but again it’s the nature of the beast with old cars but I absolutely adore the car the look the drive the sound, she’s not the quickest by todays standards but always holds its own and never embarrassed, I am so so attached not sure I could ever sell it.
Nice one Alex!
Fun day out! What tires are you running on the E46?
How do you get curb rash on the rear right wheel arch on the M3 ;-)
I’ve been searching all week to see if there was a new video
Alex, we need more episodes with Barney! Tracky daily!
You should start a table with all the cars you've put round Curborough 👍🏻
Everyone loves a good bit of curborough
Timeless design ❤
That r8 is quick, but I would rather the m3 sorry I'm with alax e46 m3 has always been a dream car for me to but in phoenix yellow.
That's committed friendship.
Can't seem to find a cheap R8 in France that has not crashed.... Thanks to Car Vertical.
Both amazing tbf
Awsome guys🔥😎👌
X3 did a stand up job!
The E46 M3 are around 10k in the UK??
Believe me, it is the paradise because in France they are at 30k in average.
A shame that we have the Brexit because for 20k difference, I would drive red.
see you on sunday, Can we rag it around goodwood????
Great Videos!!!
it would be nice if you did more tg-like practical tests rather than just lap times
This R8 is so gorgeous OMG!
Can you please put the torque in NM also on videos ?
Really wanna buy a fishing wagon. Ie a van, any help where I'd find a trusted dealer for budget van?
Did you find out what happened to the R8 at the end? Sounded like a suspension knock 🤔
What engine is installed in MX-5?
Gutted I missed this! I can see Curborough from my house.
Need to get the original chrome front bean grills will look so much better
Here's hoping the M3 gets properly fixed and isn't too far gone underneath. Plus you now get to feature the R8 on your channel as you fix whatever it is that you broke 😅
Do ur blue e36 m3 vs ur new red e46 m3 be so cool to see
The desing of MK1 r8 is truly beautiful
The ad gave me scotty kilmer vibes😂
What time did the 330d do while back?
Got a Peugeot 308 gt what you recon or the car buddy?
Alex: "So what abut reliability ?"
Dude: "So yeah..."
That says it all.
The Audi R8 motor is Epic! Same as the iconic B7 RS4 🙌
The original R8 still looks good today. As a BMW fan, the E46 M3 wins for me, you know the R8 will be faster but the M3 had charm and did well regardless. Good video.
Two beautiful classic cars!
An 'E46 M3 Touring' in your future then eh? Helluva project :-)
"Budget" in UK maybe lol.
E46s m3 still go for around 30k in mainland Europe...
The BMW e46M is from the period of the ultimate driving machine era when the engine was powered by M meaning motorsports, today’s BMW M stand for marketing. The e46M is the last straight six M powered naturally aspirated engine, that engine will be celebrated many years into the future. The last iconic BMW straight six!
