Carvertical is garbage as is them tyres you advertise.
Love it start after it was stuck
This is my dad’s car Taylor. You’ve done me & my dad so proud. Such a brilliant video❤️ thank you
🥲😭😭😶😭🥲😭😭😭🥲
Sorry for your loss. It's in a great home, can't wait to see your dad's work live on through this channel ❤
Very sorry for your loss. He had good taste! I hope Taylor gave you good money for it!
Such an emotional thing to watch, what a beautiful car your father had. So sorry for you and your family, Taylor is gonna cherish the car forever, couldn't of gone to a better home. 💐Rest in peace Johnny 💐
❤ how lovely. Your dad had great taste in cars and I hope you enjoy seeing them take care of it on the upcoming videos.
Credit to Taylor as a presenter and his choices of words especially when John "got emotional".
Yes, my son and I met Taylor briefly at the Classic Car show in November. Comes across as a lovely, gentle chap and he was so kind to us. This is top quality content.
Ah bless John and Taylor! Handled well just like that beauty of a car will be! Oddly inspiring that John is still so emotionally raw from, what must be, one of his closest friends passing 8 years ago, Johnny must have been a top guy and an even better friend, and clearly not forgotten
Got bit emotional there myself too, pain in Johns eyes and expression on his face tells a story of how much he misses his best friend and how much that car matters
Think John deserves a wee trip to the ring or Le Mans when this is all done. I thought he was just nervous to be on camera at first but I think he just misses his friend and found it hard talking about how much the car meant to him
def, he was so sweet and honest about the car that belonged to his passed away buddy
The way you handled that bloke getting emotional was class mate.
Taylor not only sold us the story of the car.
He also shared Johnny memories to all of us.
Any friend or family would greatly appreciate how the car is not only loved, but the works done by Johnny is being recognized.
RIP
Is V2 just Taylor's channel now? Because I am here for that. I love that sentiment "We are a family of car enthusiasts", finer words have never been spoken!
And John, there is nothing wrong with getting a touch emotional seeing your friends' car moving. I'm sure Taylor will do you, the car and Jonny proud.
I like the idea of v2 having guest hosts such as Edwin, Jack, Ethan, Will and Callum.
@@jacobfoster6773 no chance car throttle allow that (if they'd even want to).
Hopefully. Would be cool if Edwin is coming to this channel too. I'd 100% be down for that.
Give this man his own channel!❤❤❤
He has it, Autoalex V2 haha
wouldn't surprise me if that's what's coming, there's changes coming to the channel involving Taylor
AutoTaylor perhaps?
@@cestfixement Or perhaps could be called Taylor Made Cars... *just a thought*
@@cestfixement Great shout, they mentioned something on the podcast. It's probably Taylor doing CZcams full time.
@@millskidd8099nope I think I worked it out the day that podcast came out... Most people aren't aware of companies house, if you search for Alex on there you can see the exact name of the new business all is revealed there... Can't wait!! *Spoiler alert*😅
Part of me really really wants Taylor to start his own you tube channel, but not at expense of appearing on this or the main channel. The three of you plus guests have kept me smiling through a difficult time and I’m about to go in forr treatment for depression and eating disorder. I’m planning on coming home a lot lighter and equipped with some tools to better move forward, making some big decisions about my future. I won’t be able to access CZcams whilst I: away but can’t wait to get home to catch up with the adventures of the channel. Keep it up fellas.
Goodluck, you can do it. Life does get better if your only way is up
Good on you Daniel - as someone else who deals with mental health issues I can definitely empathise with your situation. It's great to have a little feel-good escapism like the Autoalex channel as they're a fun bunch of lads and a good laugh. Take each day as it comes mate and believe in yourself - you have it within you to turn your life around.
Good luck, fella
Best of luck and good wishes to you Daniel.
All the best mate. And I’m agree with you that Taylor needs his own channel.
I had an e28 528i thirty years ago. I know exactly how long ago because we drove our newborn daughter home from hospital in it.
It's her 30th birthday tomorrow.
That aside, they are a fantastic car probably the best of many bmws we've had.
ROSPA used to use a 28 m5 for their advanced driver training as they're so controlable when the back goes. You really have to punish one to lose it.
I've got a 535 auto and while there isn't really a top (120 in the carpet) 30 to 70 goes in a blink.
Look at Taylor NAILING the presentation. The guy it's a natural, very charismatic, knowledgeable. Enjoying each time more seeing Taylor's segments
Perhaps Taylor should take over the V2 Channel
Although i would expect he is very busy doing his own stuff
Another great looking 5 series from back in the day
Well Done Taylor
maybe thats what was implied on the most recent podcast? possibly even his own?
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the joy Taylor brings to this channel and how confident he is with being on camera 👏
Feel we need a Johnny Smilth (late break show) collab. Would be hilarious!!
I'd come here to say exactly the same thing @thelatebrakeshow make it happen!
YEAAAAAH
This format here is a clear ripoff of Jonny's videos, but it really works! This is so much better than Alex's childish shenanigans
Fair play to you Taylor you were very professional and compassionate whilst doing that deal, I take my hat off to you sir!!!
John getting emotional shows you cars are so much more.. they are the embodiment at times of those we love. Top work Taylor 😊
Yes, more Taylor :)
The presentation of this is fantastic, full credit to Taylor in the way he dealt with the situation and just shows a completely different side to the jovial presenting we normally see.
Really impressive and shows how much of a natural Taylor is to presenting.
Respect to Taylor for how he handled such a delicate situation, rest in peace johnny 💐 your car is gonna be cherished and loved.
I'm waiting for Taylor to drop his own CZcams channel 🤞
100%
but then he might spilt from auto alex
@@topmandog1and that’s a problem?
Nah. It would be way too early, if ever necessary. He and Alex really benefit from each other. Nonetheless, this was a brilliant video :D
This is pretty much is his at this point.
Only Taylor could have done this video, car and past owner justice. Thanks for all your do Taylor. So professional in everything you do. I love thr banter and laughs you have, bu the more serious professional you, I love also. Thanks.
Well done Taylor, you make a great presenter and congrats on getting Rick Astley to feature as well! 😁
RIP Johnny your car is in safe hands and I hope you’re smiling down on it as it will make more memories and more people smile 🔥💙 That piece in BMW magazine needs framing and either giving to his mum or put in pride of place somewhere 🔥
I'm sure his Mum would have her own copy.
Shame Total BMW stopped printing.
It was more a magazine for the enthusiast that what we have now.
I love that Taylor is stepping up into his own. Great content Taylor
E28 is the best looking Bmw ever built till this day!!😍👌 Great video.. we gotta see you pick up John and drive a Ring lap with it!
Not sure best.... joint 1st with the e24..... it's twin with less doors.
😉
@@Ratty_Rex Yes it's the best with those 4doors 😉
Always love a video with Taylor
My dad had a D reg M535i with a dog leg box. 150mph family car as I remember. Used to race motor bikes with me mam and us 3 kids in. Very funny at the time.
These Taylor vids are 10/10 would love to see him dig deeper into projects and fully document them!
Taylors car and mechanical knowledge is amazing, a very talented guy. Car is absolutely lovely, defo do a videos of it and take it on a long trip
I teared up when that engine started i can’t lie. That was an incredible moment and such an incredible thing you’ve done especially explaining how we are just one big car enthusiast family. Sharing our passion with one another
Unreal content from Taylor and Luke! Keep it coming
Unbelievably high level content. Taylor is a class act. Especially how he handled such an emotional moment.
I, at best, was moderately into cars before seeing your guys content… Slowly becoming a car guy myself now 😂
the end part when taylor got the car on the trailer, "at the end of the day we are a family of car enthusiasts" pretty much tells you his full character what a guy he is i love watching him!
My 1st car when i got my full license at 16 was a 87 525e but someone wrote it off, so brought a 86 528i off a farm converted it to manual/swapped in a 3.5 an now have had that car about 20 years sadly been sitting around for 7 years now as pulled engine out to do some performance upgrades ended up with a head injury an never got back to work so never had money to fix it (the spare engines i brought always ended up with problems) So i hope one day to have my dream finished (especially since it was about 70k to build originally for what i wanted but thanks to parts being more available that's dropped to about half)
So as an old BMW lover appreciate you doing the right thing and giving it a good home :)
Taylor is so good at this. Loves cars, is good with the sentimental side. Great job.
I am SO EXCITED for this to be a series! Taylor is an absolute class act and a fantastic presenter, and I'm really looking forward to him doing his best to save this car. It's clearly a very special BMW; here's hoping it gets back on the road and John gets to see it again!!!
Feel for the bloke who was there to help sell the car. Amazing the memories and soul a car can possess, especially the memories of their owners. Glad its gone to have another special life with Taylor/autoalex crowd.
Yas! Loving the Taylor content
Nice one Taylor you big softie! That was the perfect way to go about things with emotions as they were. And to leave it on a positive note that you’d like all involved to see and experience the car again. Very sympathetic 👏
Awesome video this and nice to hear the story and a little bit about the owner Johnny who clearly had a passion for cars... I echo all the love for Taylor and it's nice to see some more slightly serious/interesting Taylor content which he delivers excellently and this just compliments the other AutoAlex content, I look forward to each new video!
I got to meet Alex and Rory at the British Car Show last year, unfortunately Taylor wasn't there but hoping to finally meet him this year at Shedfest or one of the other great car shows this year. So much great car content/shows just not enough time or money to do them all!
I feel like 2023/2024 is a really good time for the car community feels a bit more reignited and some really high quality/entertaining CZcams content being put out... AutoAlex et al defiantly playing a big part in that 👌
Taylor, love your addition to the V2 channel. You are a natural and I really enjoy the V2 channel now focusing on you alone. I did notice he was genuinely upset, and you came across as very caring. 👍
Taylor, you're a true asset to this channel and couldn't have handled this any better! Johnny would be so happy and even more proud to see what you're doing with this absolute stonker of a car.
Cannot wait to see what the future holds for it!
Absolute credit to taylor and everyone at autoalex for restoring this car you will make that family so proud when it's back up and running.
Both Taylor and Luke are brilliant on camera. Luke's voice reminds me of the geezer from bodger and badger!
@m539restorations absolute beauty! Get Stretan involved for a collab
Loved this, Taylor you showed your class there fella, handling this with compassion and respect ❤ Good job. Looking forward to the next instalment. Cars like this truly are family members.
The front end and side profile of that car are just stunning. ❤
Out of the whole autoalex channel after he left carthrottle the way Taylor has emerged from occasional side kick to actual TV standard presenter has been great to follow
Terrific video, Taylor on his own is fantastic, well spoken, good choice of words and respectful to the seller/ sellers representative. Good to watch and mature presentation.
Absolutely awesome Taylor, what a motor 👌🏻❤️. When it fired up it actually took my breath away. I can totally get why Pat got so emotional, I’d be the same. Really looking forward to seeing a lot more of this car. Great job guys 👍🏻❤️
Strong work Taylor.
Touching great video. I'm in Brisbane, Australia and have 2x e28's (an M535i and what was originally am M535i upgraded in 1996 to an Alpina B10-"Alpina Australia" kit fitted, not OEM from Buchloe, Germany). Gorgeous car (especially the rims)-Johnny will be proud once it's restored.
Crack in the head or severe corrosion past the fire ring (or possibly head gasket), coolant has dribbled into a bore, rusted it and dribbled past the rings into the sump. Plenty of used heads about if this one is buggered - 2.5 2.8 and 3.5 heads are the same 358 casting.
armchair expert
@@EazyDuz18 The best part of you dribbled down your Mum's leg in an alleyway. 😘
I think the Autoalex group is great.
Alex, Rory, Taylor, Luke Tom, the lovely lot at viking detail.
Watching is just a great experience.
Top vid again Taylor like these little mini series we share a very similar taste in cars you and Alex are hilarious together 😂 but you do the more serious video really well 🫡
This car should stay exactly as Johnny modified it, it just needs a refresh. In memory of Johnny. I can't wait to see her in perfect condition at the Nürburgring.
Rocking Johnny's BMW back to life was so emotional for me. I actually cried, lads. What a beautiful video ❤
why is everyone saying get his own channel? dont split the dream team, they all work well together and im sure they'll grow faster/bigger as a team than individuals
Hi everyone and welcome to the Taylor channel. You rock man! Youre great at this, keep it up 💪🏼
Can see the geezas emotions running through the motions as he stares at the car when its pulled out the garage. Felt for him, lots of memories of that car and his mate as he said
I live in Great Yarmouth and never thought it would be featured on this channel. Beautiful car and a really cool history. Never deserved to be hidden away in a garage in Great Yarmouth lol
Lovley story! And well done Taylor, grown into the role of being the sole presenter very well, probably not as easy as it looks!
OMG, I just had a "Gentleman's Crisis" in my pants when you pulled back the tarp!
Look at Taylor go, what a beast, literally! Made me emotional and everything… such a beauty of a car as well, let’s get it running soon please. Great video, cheers!
Rory's KTM on the CarVertical ad has aged like fine milk.
I've always loved those old e28s, and i think they look even better as time goes on.
Great video. Please have more of these videos to include the E28 M535i and the iconic E21 323i Aplina. Best of the 80s in UK!
I love the look of the E28, definitely on my list of " ones day " cars! haha I loved Taylor's reaction!
Fantastic video, Taylor, and a nice car with a great back story. Rory's KTM 125 Duke looks a bit suspect - Cat D in 2014, which I find a bit strange because it looks like a 2017 onwards model.
Brought a tear to my eye 🥺 At least it’s in good hands with Taylor 🤞🏾
The Alpina airdam is just like the one I had on my 535i, which, I sold to a Welshman for $2500 and 200 lbs of Alaska salmon. I still have the bill of sale which listed the fish.
The channel is very much classic BMW's and is awesome, I love these classic BMW's. I have two bmw's myself and hope I can keep them long-term
Really enjoyed being a part of this one, but who knew sunglasses in the sun would be such a controversial choice??
I thought they were awesome!
And yiu kept them on through all the weather too!
8:22 he looks like a young suggs from madness
the magazine feature makes it that much cooler
Looking forward to this one. Taylor is a great person. My heart goes out to John. I know how it feels to lose a friend.
Owned a lot of these, 2xM535i and 3x528i's, great cars and fast in manual form, just make sure the cam oil feed bolts are tight as it will eat its camshaft if they come loose and look out for rot around the sills and floors and front inner on front doors. M30 engine can do mega miles if looked after.
Looks like that one has the 'shadow line' option, black window trims and colour matched bumpers.
Well done Taylor. Getting to the story behind the barn find, honoring the car's history, being a friend. Good stuff.
Lovely! John needs a ring lap i that when its restored.
Makes me want my old 1986 E30 318 coupe that I abandoned when I got a company car in 2000.
Should have pulled the plugs and poured oil down the bore before turning over a seized engine, probably wants more than a headgasket now 😂 awesome find though look forward to seeing more on this
What a stunning looking 5 series, I think this has to be 1 of the best shapes ❤
I can feel john..i know how it feels having a car that became a family of yours and seeing it leaving
This is not only a car it's definitely history of a man and the love for cars.❤ Love the video Taylor!
Thank you Jonny for sharing your car with us!!
Love this Taylor you are a gentleman and getting alot better on the camera ... pitty about the coolant in the oil but looking forward to seeing this old girl back on the road 🫡
Even now, so many years after the E28 launched, it's outclassing current BMWs...and it's now even close. BMW used to be fucking amazing, and the E28 is one of the ultimate expressions of that. Best of luck with it Taylor. I hope it treats you well.
Taylor is a smart mechanic. Would never have thought of rocking the car back and forth so that the engine could turn over. Look forward to this broken BMW being ressurrected and given a new life.
Great Video Taylor. Love a proper car from a proper car lover with a story to tell. The story will definitely continue.
Thank you for giving us what we want Taylor, love your solo content. Funny, educational and a great watch
Taylor is a natural. Where have you been hiding!!!!!!!!!
Always loved the e28s. Definitely think you guys should take John around the ring once its all sorted 👍🏻 👌🏻
Yeah, Honestly I hope the V2 becomes a Taylor channel. Genuinely great to see all sides of the AutoAlex group
When it's finished, give it to John. The car clearly means a lot to him.
Omg I cried while watching this 😢. Taylor is such an amazing person. I’m lost for words. I hope this is a happy ending.
Taylor does a fantastic job on this channel really enjoying his solo and co presenting
Good man Taylor, you have a heart of gold. So respectful to John
Ooooh I was NOT expecting that.
Bloody lovely thing.
5:15 like roadtrips to POLAND 😮
Top job Taylor, what a cracking video. We definitely need more content like this. Looking forward to seeing the work on the E28.
I can't wait to see the next episode ! It's so beautiful to see these kind of series ! Keep up the good Work ! ❤
