      You should clarify in a more noticeable place that it's a Cat-N car.
      The only place it's mentioned is "The car was a Category N back in 2018 but has since been fully repaired", which makes it seem like it's no longer Cat-N -- but that status cannot legally be removed.
      You could be opening yourself up to legal trouble there, as it MUST be disclosed to any buyer that the car is a Cat-N or you're liable for damages.

    Fond memories of my V10 M5. One New Year’s Day we woke up, no plans. Said to my missus fancy lunch in Paris. She said not a chance we’d make it. Straight to the tunnel from Hampshire. Off and didn’t let off except for fuel (frequently). Pulled up at the Hotel Bristol for 13.00 lunch. We were feet up supper on laps at 8.30pm. Ballistic and never missed a beat. Have owned the E39 V8, Two F10s and now in the F90. The E60 gave me the most fun road trip of my life. 🙌

    The Volvo 850 estate BTCC car was a 2.0 n/a not a T5. Still fantastic though.

    Love what you all do! But I have to suggest that ya'll look into your sound mixing, everything is louder than Hammond's voice. Makes it very annoying having to adjust the volume every couple of seconds... anyway, cheers!

      Not sure if it’s fixed or if I just have massively different EQ settings than everyone else but it’s fine for me

    whoever edited this, loved the background music a bit too much

    Hard to watch because of the sound mixing, music overpowers the dialog.

    Isn't that the same road where Jeremy drove the m5 e60 and said when in M mode the car is magnificent. and moves and sounds like a Ferrari 430, which is the best car he ever driven (till this point) :D

    Does anybody know whereabouts in Wales this was filmed please, particularly the part where Hammond is outside the car talking with the views behind him?

    Mercedes SL55 AMG should be the next weapon of choice, 5.4 V8 Supercharged goodness... OR an E55.

    Great stuff and much respect Richard... but ya gotta change that camera angle... makes it look like your struggling to see over the steering wheel and out the window...
    Cheers (Jeremy made me do it!)
