Hey man, hope you’re feeling better after the heart thing
What happened?
@@CptPrice62 he had a heart attack last week
All the no’s energy drinks
Sean Hayward I was thinking the same thing.
@@mikeaya7205 nah it runs in his family
Last time I was this early Ferrari still had manuals.
But no joke, I’m glad your okay James
Audi still has manuals over here
These episodes were recorded before the accident btw
Audi's have a lot more manuals compared to bmw's
@@NiumeLTU over here they don't have any xd
But they do?
I saw an older lady driving a green B7 the other day. I was so excited, my wife was like, "it just looks like a 5 series" divorce pending.
Atleast die knows what a 5 series is.
I always find it funny to see old woman driving blistering fast cars.
They probably just have a lot of money and wanted a luxurious and comfortable car but don't know how fast it actually is.
@@chielwouterscw me too. In fact there was a customer of mine who had an evo x with the manual and the Recaros. She was probably 70 and volunteered at an alzheimers npo. She called it her race car and she dailyed it, bless her heart.
To be fair it does look alike
@@chielwouterscw Or she’s secretly a badass grandma who takes her grandchildren to bakeries and shops going 120mph
james’s most underrated quote is “now back to the show”
The 'now' needs to be way longer.
I prefer "Annnnnnnnnnyway!"
It should be "oh cock"
Now back to the story yu mean
Aaannnywayyy
These conversations are 100% accurate
"Here's the keys ya boob, take her for a spin"
Iconic quote
Please for the love of “MO POWA BABY!!” Stop drinking Nos when you you just had a heart attack. We all love you and your content so KEEP IT HEATHLY BABY!!!
Cole Adams its not the nos energy drink
This was recorded well before James’ heart attack.
Could have been water...never know what’s off camera
He didnt even open the can
Guys it's genetic. Go see his IG post.
Day 42 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
(Hope you’re doing well my man♥️)
And u got 42 likes lmao

Guys we need an episode about Alfa Romeo, such a rich racing history and so so beautiful cars!
Agreed
Beatiful? Ehhh no
and an episode for DTM. Both are very connected
You sound like Jeremy Clarkson
KableFI ehhh yes. Have you seen some of their cars!?
I'm enjoying watching your good video.
I support you in Korea.
(Where all the car's informarion are)
I run the car maintenance CZcams channel in Korea.
Awesome
When I worked at BMW as a detailer a few years back we once got a B7 into the shop for a "full spa" Cleaning. The boys were playing around with the features on the car as we cleaned the interior and THE SOUND OF MUSIC was in the vehicle to play from the built in entertainment system. We straight up watched half the movie on the center screen as well as the two in the back while we cleaned the vehicle. I was in awe of the quality (not of the movie) but of the B7 overall. Unbelievable tbh.
Just bought one. Can't wait to take delivery.
Hope you're recovering well James, we love you!
an hour and a half ago, i’m walking home from school, i wonder ‘what does alpine actually do’ i search ‘alpina up to speed’ to no prevail. then this pops up in my notifications, thanks for the video car gods
Just heard about James suffering a heart attack. Wanted to say we freaking love you James. Your a genuine dude and I wish you were my brother! I’m sure I can speak for everyone when I say that we wish you a full recovery.
Peace from Maui brother! -get better🤙❤️
Oddly enough I had heard of Alpina but didn’t know what or who they were. Now I know and this was a good episode. Love the changes you made. Simple but effective to chance the way this show works.
James is probably my long lost dad
How old are you? Hahahahha
ren carnado he’s got fortnight on his pic how old ya think
lol
@@initial6325 2
Frez Playz he doesn’t claim you
Hey james! How bout making an episode about car accessories? Example: Everything you need to know about RECARO. Thanks!
I second this.
Matt Misnon Everything you need to know about:
MOMO
HKS
Don't forget Garrett, Holly, brembo, and Edelbrock.
And then TAKATA 🤭
Weber
E34 B10 Bi Turbo, E39 B10 V8s, E32 B12 5.0 . E38 B12 6.0 and the E39 B10 3.3 were always amongst my dream cars
B12 6.0 takes the cake for me
"That wagon made my pecker jump." - The one American that appreciates wagons.
RS6 Avant arrived in North America this year! That's progress for sure.
@@Heretic306 which not many people can afford. Still, good move from Audi...
Subaru should've offered the Levorg to american buyers as well.
I love wagns
A great wagon is awesome. The Volvo 850 turbo or 750 turbo showed that a wagon can be quick and practical, while still being cool.
@@liberty0758 definitely agreed. I had an outback before i got my BMW, and had they offered the Levorg when my outback decided it felt like having it's own rings for breakfast, i'd probably have gotten one.

Hey dude, been watching some of the series vids now and I am trully confident to say you guys are doing an amazing job. Well done 👌🏻... congrats from Spain
Looking back at this, it’s crazy how much weight he’s lost. Happy for him
As a huge BMW fan, I’m glad you finally did this one! Also, I hope you’re doing well James. Take your time to recover and I hope we see you back and healthy soon!
Hope you doing good James, take care.
Get better James!
People need to stop blaming NOS energy drink for James’ hospitalisation. Seriously.
Take all the time you need to get better James❤️
the truth will set you free
I’ve had the pleasure of detailing a latest gen B7 and never have I ever been this impressed with an interior like the B7. Just the floor mats themselves absolutely blew me away so you can understand the sadness that I felt after seeing the extremely curb rashed rims…
Hope you're feeling better man, bless your heart!
1:07 Protect Sven... guess I have to buy 300 cans of no’s now
Thank you so much for making this video, been waiting for it!! Hope you’re feeling better aswell!
congrats James and all donut peeps, i watch up to speed every day and you guys been climbing like 100k subs every few days!! 3 mil here we come!!! love you guys. "mo'h POWA babeh"
My dad works as the webdesigner for these guys
He made their configurator
Cool
I would always configure Alpinas to pass some time. Thank him from me please.
So that means your grandfather is the configurators configurers configur.....er ? 🤯
Insane
Take your time to recover james, hope you’ll be back soon
I own an Alpina B5 and I love it!! It's just a different sensation compared to any other BMW.
Sell it to me
What a great story. I love Alpina models. I’m hoping for a B6 grand coupe in my immediate future. So beautiful and as I understand a 200 mph top speed.
bmw: hi alpina we've been working together for quite a while now do you fancy trying your hand on one of our SUVs?
alpina: XD
U now they will. Just show them the money
Alpina XB7 : *Allow me to introduce myself*
Iv been waiting for this one! Hope you're doing good James.
Your one of the only youtubers that I wouldn’t purge. Love your whole thing.
Ah, I remember when AMG used to be exclusive just like Alpina. Now you can buy a base model Mercedes with AMG badges everywhere yet without any upgrades to the motor. Alpina and Brabus are the few German tuners that have stuck true to their roots.
well technical Alpina isnt a tuner anymore since many years
Alpina just got bought by BMW so we'll have to see about that

Funny how they still advertise NOS even after James' heart attack
I was bouta say the same thing
Yeah not cool. But probably due to contractual agreements.
His heart problem was due family history. he said he should of known himself as his sister had the exact same heart attack at a similar age.
@@AB-fk4gw They don't help
@@AB-fk4gw energy drinks are known to increase blood pressure, heart rates, and obesity to name some of its adverse affects. These affects can be acceptable with occasional use, however too much of anything will eventually cause bigger issues. This contract with NOS of course doesn't help when combined with his family's medical history
Probably doesn't mean anything, but I came here for the Linus video and stayed because I've been looking for something to satisfy my grand tour\top gear itch while they're making the new season. This video on the Alpina lineup was perfect. Hope to get throught the rest of your content by end of year.
Thank You donut,every member of donut,thank You so much for making this channel,i learn and have fun watching at the same time👌all teachers should be like this
*has a heart attack* “I’ll race anybody!”
Hearing and seeing all these sexy BMW sounds is definitely getting us excited for our upcoming 750il V12 project! Mmmmmmm exhaust sounds and Bavarian styling!
Lucore Auto and LucoreRacing it’s already out it’s called the m760

Steves notebook from Blues Clues...you sly devils. JAMES SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK MY DUDE!
Idk if anyone has said this yet but james it killin these in video commercials. I laugh at almost every one. James if you read these the amount of effort you put in is my favorite thing about this show
James my man, rest up and feel better! Much love from the car community!
you forgot to talk about the b8!!! the first v8 in a bmw 3 series. e36
Blue and green are not easy colors to get to go together.... Alpine friggin killed it. Love that look
Been waiting for an Alpina episode! Saw you were in a hospital due to heart complications. Really scary stuff. My b-days tomorrow so i'll be wishing you the best of health bud!
Alpina is the Spoon of Honda. Cant change my mind.
And M is like type r
yes
yes
Welcome back from the hospital! UTS is my fav show btw, I love you (no homo) and hope you always feel good and maybe calm down on the NOS energy drinks just incase the same thing doesn't happen. Love craddy
So cool that you made this episode. Didn‘t knew that guys in the US even know Alpina. Because for example my D3 BiTurbo Coupé (E92) is No. 120/289 so they‘re even rarer than a LaFerrarai LOL
Good to see ya back!!! Glad your ok!!!
When someone hands you a flyer, it’s kinda like they’re sayin “here, you throw this away!”
When you going to do Alfa Romeo
Ive never waited so long for a CZcams video in my life😁
this series has strengthen my love for cars

Better they do AC Schnitzer. More known BMW tuners
Pretty sure it's Hartge

too bad that Hartge doesn't exist anymore. The Herbert Hartge GmbH & Co. KG was liquidated in July 2019.
yes
James great movie :D Maybe next Time something about Abarth? 💪🏼
Good to see you back on the studio James! Hope you’re taking it easy there.
Great video. Thanks for the info. Never rolling stock!
ThIs is the thickest motor teacher I ever had
I'd like you to edit this and change it to Thicc
*thiccest
I wa watching this vid when i got notified about the vid
CZcams is just epic
So much e21 footage, I’m lovin this one!! 😍
Glad you're okay James! Great video as always.
Do the BMW Z4 and Merc SLK since you did the audi TT.
Up to speed on Mitsubishi Pajero, the 12 time Dakar rally winning car
Glad you’re back and healthy James!
Had both an Alpina B10 from '98 and an M5 from '00. Loved the M5 but the Alpina B10 was special and my favourite to drive. Ultimately, I sold the M5 because the B10 was just so much better.
James challenges everyone to a foot race, has heart attack
Now that we're done with the Alpina, can we have the Renault Alpine next?
So my dad owns a 2016 B5 I’m pretty sure and it has 600+ hp but you forgot they have an extra setting called comfort plus. Trust me I’ve driven in the back of a RR phantom but the B5 is more comfortable.
I love the fact you made a video about alpina, the only problem I have is that you used the old alpiba b3,xd3 and b7 even though the photos and clips of then new ones are available

We actually learned about James’s dad through his post on instagram. Its NOT a happy story...

G30: 5 Series
No such thing as the G33.
Bothered me that they showed old chassis of the 3 and x3 too, they showed the f31 and f25
Next about Racing legends like Hans Stuck, Hamilton or Röhrl
You mentioned Hamilton but not Senna????..... ricer..........shit at least Schumacher, Roberto Ravalgia, Jacky stewart, Derek Bell
...etc..............
Hamilton is a racing legend? Loooool
Nice car history lesson once more !!!! Excellent presentation , loved it !!!!
I currently own a 2014 bmw b7 alpina and yea it’s a sick ride for sure ....!!!!!

So the NOS energy drink gave james heart too much boost. Get well soon .
Thanks for this episode I asked and you delivered!!
I had a 76 635csi german-built Alpena that car extremely fast and powerful and handle good the yanked out the original M60 straight 6 and put it in an M90 straight 6 I love that car the Alpina BMW s were just flat-out powerful handle well
