Here's What I've BROKEN in 32,000 Miles with My AMG GT Black Series!

- Let's find out what's wrong with my AMG GT Black Series, not that it has reached 50,000km / 32,000 miles! I'm visiting Opus at the Nürburgring, for Lukas to check over the car and investigate the recent error message. Let's find out the truth of driving a car like this so hard!
Over the last 2.5 years, my GT Black Series has been resprayed, upgraded to the Opus 850hp packaged, travelling to the Middle-East, visited 30 States of the US, done Gumball and the Transfagarasan in Romania, and now been up to the Arctic Circle and back. Along the way it has clocked up around 15 track days, lots of new tyres, and even a few windscreens, but with almost certainly no other GT Black Series sharing such a high mileage, it makes it fascinating to dig into what's going on.
Finally an error message had popped up in the last few days, sporadically showing with no clear reason, and there are a few other things around the car itself, but this is where the expertise of Lukas from Opus steps in to figure it all out. Effectively carrying out a healthcheck because of what the car has had thrown at it since the last update with Lukas at 32,500 km / 20,000 miles.
Things are going pretty well; the error code relates to an internal ECU in a damper but there's very little that can be done with that right now. There are some cosmetic issues like PPF that needs work, but also the front splitter that has got filled with stones thanks to my snow driving, but generally speaking it is doing well and not in bad shape at all.
Thanks to Opus for all of their work:

Thanks for watching, Tim

In 40 years of driving cars and riding motorcycles the ones I have liked the best are the ones I've done the most miles with....no question. So good to see a car like this being used for fun, it's intended purpose.
There's nothing like building up the memories with a car like this
Although I agree I think first always hold a special place for a car person
AMG GT BS 100.000km Button ✅
Let's do it!
@@Shmee150 SAY NO TO GARAGE QUEENS 🗣️🗣️
AMG GTR BS doesnt exist
@@nil3sh37Renault Clio is the garage queen 🤣
@@Shmee150you’ve lost the plot! 💀💀💀
As a German i'm glad you mentioned how here in Germany driving at High Speeds not allowed in other Countries is a daily common thing and nothing special. So much so driving at least 200km/h (120mph) or more on your daily Commute to work is Routine. A lot of Foreigners can't wrap their mind around it and i feel a ton of German Cars are engineered for this daily Speed so if they are driven in slow US Traffic for example they end up having Issues which would explain why a ton of German Cars are higher rated in Reliability in Germany compared to the USA.
Some Cars just need to be driven fast, especially if they're German and if not every Day then at least every now and then as you do.
Prost & Cheers from a Audi R8 V10 (2011) and Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Black Series Owners from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
why would driving fast ever be a net benefit for the mechanical parts of a car? the only thing is long, sustained drives that allow the fluids to circulate the car properly and for the engine etc to get to optimum temps. driving 'fast' does nothing but wear out parts faster. the argument for higher revs can be done in lower gears so speed is not an issue. the reason for shit reliability is probably because some countries aren't car savvy... a lot of people don't understand car mechanics so they just rev it to 6k from a cold start, dont change fluids etc. Germany probably has a higher number of people who actually care for their car and don't just see it as a point-a to point-b machine.
Normal germans with normal cars dont do 200kmh to work, more like 120 if theres no traffic jam
@@SuperCuntexactly, that comment was nonsense, plus having half of my family in germany, almost nobody takes the autobahn to go to work. German cars are not studied for germany given that the majority of their market is ourside of germany.
@c_dubbzz6127 the cars are not engineered for German climates they are engineered for the worldwide market 😂
@@SuperCunt All of my German cars have been the most UNreliable (4 M3's, 2 VW GTi's, 2 335i ) 😂
Got stuck behind the turbo transport trailer today at the Nürburgring 😂
Nightmare traffic!
I like how you actually go out and drive your cars.
It's what they are built for
@@Shmee150 Not all owners feel the same as you.
He drives maybe 4 regularly like actually drives them 💀
@@jeremyjohnston7876 He drives them all. But its kinda hard driving 20 cars at the same time, especially when he goes on so many trips. Gt 8 has a lot of miles, so do the ford gt, sls, gt bs, mclaren...
Congrats on reaching 50,000km / 32,000 miles! It is great to see nice cars such as the Black Series being driven.
Interesting fact: In Germany you’re not allowed to repair tires with a 240 km/h or higher speed rating ( V,W and Y Rating tires). TÜV is not happy about plugs in tires which are for highspeed driving. And I get you point changing them with such a valuable car
when you have 11 faults in a row after the service and nothing feels wrong there's basically just two suspects, a wiring issue and the ECU overheating after the ice driving, remember that although the ice road looks fairly smooth it's very bumpy and the suspension have to work ultra hard and that suspension ECU fault is probably a combination of the active suspension magnetic fluid getting incredibly hot and being out of spec for the ECU to react within tolerances. It has to be something similar that happens on modern motorbikes with active suspension where on track days the active suspension part get incredibly hot special oil had to be used etc etc they wanted to change the entire part $2500 part and it just got hot and overworked... also I think maybe the studded tires could be part of it.
I agree with you.Your theory sounds right and just however the errors started just after the service before he went to the artic cicrle if you look closely at the mileage at which it was serviced at and when the errors started..I think the upgrades and software do play a part when the dealerships updates control units and clears faults with their own diagnostic on a car which is not standard with no standard software..I have experienced issues with cars which do have software..I've tried to clear faults and it just lights up warning lights and errors when doing so...I do agree that those studded tires and extreme conditions have played a part.
15:09 The mechanic removed the wheel dangerously and carelessly. If that wheel had fallen on the brake disc, it would have been very expensive.
Lucas is an absolute gentleman and a scholar 👌
Great parting shot of the AMG GT Black *blasting* through the snow!
when you popped the trunk to get the locking lug key and moved a buc-ees plastic bag had me laughing way too hard. the fact you still having a buc-ees bag is very impressive!!
So glad the 296 is finally getting to go to its first track day, can’t wait to see how it’s gonna perform on track!
The sound of that thing when your 'lead-footing' is bloomin' awesome!
Going to be a fun weekend.
Happy Easter
👍👍👍😎😎😎
Hello Shmee! Happy Easter!
Hey shmee 🔥 love your videos
Tim I want 3 times amount of miles on that gt black series. Hope you and family are well happy easter bud.
I think the gt black series is my favourite car out of your collection and thats saying something with everything you have! I always think i would pic a Ferrari, McLaren or lambo if i was fortunate enough to be in that position but when you see this car its just breath taking. I love the paint upgrade and what you did with the boot too in terms of paint colour. I have been watching this channel since R8 days and its incredible how far you have come tim. Keep it going 👌🏻
I remember Jeremy clarkson speaking about the Mercedes mclaren SLR not having to transport it to the artic circle, like Hannibal Lecter! For Testing!!
😂They sure build these Mercs Tough💪👌
It was driven there and back! Just like your AMG merc👍
I hope to see this car one day knowing I followed its entire story start to finish on here
Can't wait to see the GT Black series back on the Nurburgring and open the taps on the race track, and use it for what it was made for
Coming soon!
Shmee150 Great Video I'm glad your Absolutely Gorgeous and Incredible AMG GT Black Series was checked out by Lucas at Opus and I'm glad it's doing well and I can't wait to see some Nurburgring Nordschleife Laps
Definitely looking forward to the Misha laps with the cars!
This one is not cheap if crash
How nice to see a utuber using AND driving a supercar instead of posing on chelsea high street on a sunday afternoon, this is why Schmeeees videos are entertaining time after time 🤞
I seen you in your 2 cars thar day I've a clip of them great couple days at th track🙌🏼
Its getting to the point where a garage queen will earn you money but will a car owed by Tim be worth more..?
Always amazed how practical the black series is. Also how it’s not destroyed. Well done Mercedes.
Can’t wait to see the 296gts at the ring!
When you are done with this car, it needs to be in a car museum.
That exhaust sounds nice haven't heard it in ages
Shmee do you think it's good to compare a bently flying spur to a hellcat charger sedan?
Love the passion
Good to see you spending on a great boat, class owner.
This car is amazing love the sound to it. You driving it in snow like its a vw😂😂😂😂😂respect to you legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How much coffee did you have Tim before filming the opening. Tim: Yes.
Liking the lil shmoo mechanic
A Buc-EE's bag?!? That is TOO funny!
I saw the GT Black Series in Split on Gumball 3000 last June. The Colour is perfect
30:40 Love the Registration Number on the Blue Mini next to your car.👏
Thanks Steve!
This cars feels like a TANK!!!! Most other super cars like the Porsche gt3 Rs you have to do maintence allll the time.
6:14 min - keep bangin' Shmee 😉👌🏾
What a nice guy.
Trip idea, go to Sicily in the 296 and drive the Targa Florio. Would honestly be fantastic to see.
On long drives, how comfortable are these seats? Also, does is cause neck pains?
Surprising how little maintenance this car needs! It's pretty much the same as my E class..
10:37 Dude is that Schaefchen !!!
Question Tim: So awesome that you actually drive your cars and put them to the test. I wonder if manufacturers reach out to see what is going on after so many miles and in so many varying degrees, so many track days, and a proper thrashing or two, that wear and tear on your car, you can provide valuable data to them. Do they reach out to see what is working and what can be improved? Do they help cover costs in exchange for that data? You know what works and what doesn't. McLaren dkes that sometimes I'm told at least according to Triple F.
I’m here , with lots of love from South Africa
@Shmee150 what’s upgrades have you done to the GT to get 850bhp?
Lucas is a font of knowledge and can share that so clearly in English, so impressive
Tim, your ca4 sounded way better than the silver car being backed out of the workshop, what had they done to it? Sounded like they’d broken it.
I love the spec of the GT BS, the solar beam looks great
Does brother Lukas still have his grey GT Black Series?
What car phone suction mount do you recommend
Shmee excelent content no doubt but please start recording in 4K🙏🙏😅😅😅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is it worth putting it on the dyno? Would hate you to be driving without knowing max wheel horsepower.
Good video
In perspective for my hot hatches astra vxr arctic, ive done around 14k miles in 7 years!
My 2001 astra coupe my mum bought new I was given to daily as it was needing used before the rust killed it and from 2018 to 2020 it went from 72k miles to 125k miles
My first ever car a 2001 corsa c 1.2 in 2012 was my most driven car by 2018 I scrapped it and went from 22k miles to 100k miles
My 2014 corsa clubsport now on 9900 has only done 100ish miles in the 5 years ive owned it
Love the Buckys bag in the boot
Surely it needs to go for an Aussie roadtrip!?
Love that AMG hoodie! Any chance it isn’t £450?
Young German Bill Bailey
You are more important than the car. Just enjoy it drive it till the wheels fall off.
How does it feel driving with that long hood and sitting so close to the rear axle?
Will you plan on bringing this to an official Mercedes-Benz Service Center for inspection?
Uhh, the tell for me is when you took it in and the error started showing up. Obviously something updated at that point and the car didn’t like it. A trip to MB is in order at some point
6 min ago. 14:47 Lol note to self locking wheel nut, quick access.
Lucas' spirit animal is definitely a capybara.
Are you planning doing over 100k Km?
Looking forward to see what’s coming…🔥
How much was the check over ??
Labour rates
This is how good and how much love we all have for Shmee. 2.6 million fans waiting for shmee to get an oil change. 😂
Is that Shmarks "Iam2cool" Mini Cooper in the background? 🙂
Yep! It is mine... Finally drove it again after a long time.
@@Shmarc150 Nice!
That shot of the GT Black Series in the snow at the end 😍
It's such a good photo!
"Seriously dirty engine". When you have forgotten what a really dirty car is lol
@shmee150 that car is in pretty bad shape , you better let me take it off your hands. I'm looking out for you buddy . Lol 😉
9:36 very nice looking MB W124
2.2 bar inflation pressure = 32 psi. Should this be higher, like 36 psi? My lowly C300 states on the fuel filler cap that it should be 32 psi for speeds under 100 mph; 36 psi above. Plus fully laden vehicle would affect psi needs too but assuming that’s not a factor here per se (no other passengers) then for sn AMG Black serious I’d imagine recommended pressures would be higher for daily driving (clearly track days excluded).
I've been watching shmee so much that other night I even dreamed about having an yellow AMG GT Black Series! ahahahahah
Man that amg is solid
Yup you’ve been to Texas. The Buc-ees plastic bag said it all haha
Hey Shmee!
Love love love the 296 one day ❤🔥🔥
Good ‘ol Benz ㅅ⃝
Tim makes sure he's going to fix this...😅
Hop your gt is okay
Nothing wrong with doing that milage, but as someone who works on AMG's everyday, i would change the oil more often than what AMG suggest. We recommend every 5k miles, oil and filter change
Timing with the starting GTR🤣
Remember when Robert Mitchell came back, did 3 episodes and then stopped posting again. Lol. I'll be Tier One media until I die though.
Honestly with everything Shmee has done with that AMG GTR I'd say it's worth more! It's an absolutely legendary car considering everything it's done, where it's travelled and driven by a legendary CZcamsr.
I'd buy Tim's GTR over any if I ever had the chance.
(I'll never have a chance to buy any AMG GTR, but just saying!).
Edit: 11:15 mind blown perfectly timed start up! 😂 Brilliant!
Its amg gt black series not amg gtr
@@pheonixd69 👍👍
I think we all like to see you driving the crap out of a car what everybody just keep in a garage.
Zenvo on the Green hell would be AMAZING.
Regardless of how true that is, you can’t blame him for it. Incredibly valuable, and just about as far from series production you can get. Plus, driving on the Nurburgring is a liability in itself as many of the other people on Easter weekend have no clue what they’re doing. But hey, we can dream right? 😁
Betting Lukas likes prog rock 😊
It sounds like a 4 cylinder car from the inside tho 😳
dann stimmen die video's mit drahtbürste und ppf so gar nich !
the video's with the massage about wire-brush and ppf could be wrong ...driving , cleaning and if is a wish painting with original manufactor paint again ...
we have the same data issue , Knickschutz-Störung (citaro's) kink-protection dissabled ...but the bus is stright !
Shout-out to the Buc-ee's bag in the trunk! 🇺🇲
Really missing the Shmuseum content - I wish you would bring a team on board to have some banter. I think this is a missed trick!
It cost more to produce than it returned unfortunately. He explained that before.
@@rebelranter not the channel - just content buddy. The garage tour videos are extremely repetitive. If Top Gear of old was on everyday, most people would switch off after a while. I’ve been a fan of Tim and the channel from the beginning - plus met Tim in person . He is an awesome guy!!! I just feel Tim needs a refresh of the channel in some way.
As Tim said check your tires. They are the only ones to keep you on the road and they indeed make a huge difference.
Stay safe folks
@@AB-80-X Dude you must be fun at parties. Besides the fact there are millions driving around with old/bad tires.
Thanks, interestingly, these Machines are made to use….. etc. Oddly, I was enamored & appreciative of the “” MUSTANGS , drive through USA ( especially WEST USA, & “starting” to be interested in MUSTANGS) )etc.
