      I am sorry, Alex, but carly is not good they charge the tip of a jet for some completely arbitrary info. You can get the exact same obd2 scanner from other companies that can do more without unlocking for money, and it can do the exact same.

    Mate, I have to say, listening to the latest podcast with Edwin and Will, and the others who are to be confirmed, (and let's face it EVERYONE is hoping it's Jack and Ethan 😉), it just made me think that it's so awesome that you are doing what you love, with all your best mates, they're doing what they love too, and you don't have a boss or company to order you around, it's just amazing, and that happiness in what you're doing really shines through in your videos and the podcasts, which are just an absolute joy to listen to and to watch.
    What a time to be alive when there is so much shit going on, your channel is a welcome and much needed distraction for car enthusiasts young and old 😎
    Keep living the dream mate!!

    Back in the day I also had a factory German import e46 330d. Similar to yours I don’t think I’ve ever seen one again with such a good spec. It had this gorgeous dark purple interior with all the options blinds etc. must have been something to do with them being German imports with regards to the spec? I was told when I bought it that it was bought by someone in the army direct from Germany and imported when brand new. I guess to dodge vat or something? Either way, I’d love that car back.

    • @AK.2425
      @AK.2425 Před měsícem

      I’m pretty sure it was brought in German as it was cheaper to buy in Germany then in here, so people could get a higher spec car for less.
      I watched a old Top Gear episode from the 90s and there was a Brand new Volvo 850 or V70 that was cheaper to buy in UK spec in Netherlands.
      Also pretty sure Alex’s 330d touring he had on CT was also a German import.

    Shoutout to Taylor for rocking his omega AT even while “working” on cars.

    Had a scorpion exhaust on my TT mk3. Sounded very good 👌

    I'm feeling like the 330i will have it in the bag once it's tuned and sitting on some coilovers, the M3 won't be a pushover though with the extra 1500 or so RPM it has to play with, it should be an awesome match up.

    I badly want to do this to my BMW Z4 E85 3.0i but these supercharger kits are 2.5 grand! Also 40mpg out of a M54 is not happening haha! I AVG around 22. Thirsty beasts.
