Great video Joe, and a nice antidote to the usual alpha male bollocks from other tubers. I felt the pressure and concentration levels you were displaying, and although I would love to drive the circuit, your video reminded me of my short lived affair with racing games on Playstation, where I was forever gunning the arse out of the car and ending up in the barriers. God knows what the real thing must be like when you get a bit of confidence going and think you're 'the man'.
Cheers man glad you enjoyed it! I'm definitely out of my depth at the Ring, but love the overall experience and feeling of doing a lap or two... There will be plenty of critics, but my channel is built on honesty and I love sharing all I can. Have a great weekend 👊
Couldn't agree more Paul. I plan to go to the ring next year, but I'm not totally sure! My uk Insurance doesn't cover me so ill have additional cover. Not sure id like to bin my m4 when I run out of talent, or someone takes me out!
Agree, awesome video Joe. It appears that the biggest difficulty lies in the many and unexpected track undulations which make the car go light as the suspension unloads especially mid corner. Combined with the almost total lack of run-off areas and those spots of rain I think you did an amazing job. I would imagine once you really knew the track you would know where the trickiest of these were and how best to deal with them. I'll give you extra points for taking a rear drive manual out. Having to change gears is just one more thing to worry about on such a complex and sophisticated stretch of tarmac. Well, bloody done!
big agree, gr8 video even if not as 'hi octane' as many car vids on here
came across this bc curious abt the g82 and love nordschleife
gonna check out more joe bc of the attitude :)
Ahhh mate. It looked quick to me. Problem with us we know how some people can really drive. But you are actually well quicker than 99 per cent of people watching.
Agreed
Joe you should let Mats mom drive the ring… it would be faster and more fun to see
The other 1% include you Mr Watson??
Hell I can't even drive
@@johngrant8533 Nope, its Porsche owners:)
Thanks for watching! Hope you found this useful, faster laps coming soon... 🏁
Ps. I know you're a petro head but I'd like to see you do a review on the new i4 X50M. BMW's more modern sporty EV.
Your emotional honesty is interesting, insightful and unique to this channel
This was great to watch, I actually appreciated the lack of dialog. Could really enjoy and absorb the drive.
Seriously Joe, that’s just the best Nurburgring video I’ve ever seen. No heroics. No ego. Be proud of it!
Such an honest guy, great pace and you always feel you are with him in the review great stuff Joe, just top drawer
Really great video. Love that you can almost feel the tension / nervousness. But can tell you're treating both the car and the Ring with the respect they both deserve. You can see why this place is a mecca for car enthusiasts. Great work!
Great lap for a first in such a long time! Brings back memories when things were tense in the beginning. The more laps you do, the more you get used to all the racing lines and the easier it wil become to see everyone coming and navigating through traffic. I just bought a house close by to enjoy the track as much as possible! Looking forward to see your Nurburgring content!
It’s nice to see you taking it easy and talking about how you’re finding it. I dream of going there one day and would definitely be taking it easy like this
Loved that Joe. Everything you said took me back to the laps I did 20 years ago on two different trips. You've no Idea how much speed you can carry through a corner - especially when so many sections look similar to one another - Scary quick.
I like watching Robert go round that track for what he calls easy laps and then he drives really fast. I have now done it many times from the comfort of my arm chair but never for real. Looks quite quick in places Joe.
Brilliant.
Your being told hard on yourself mate. You did great. The Ring is tough / intensive & full on. Well done. Great content 👍
Absolutely smashed it for the amount you've been with and slight rain and cautious driving it was more than fast enough. Really felt the drive watching this video. Keep em coming joe
Excellent video Joe, truly human! Some of your one liners, spontaneous emotion, just great. 👍
Well done Joe...hope there´s still more Ring-Action to come! Have fun in Germany and stay safe
This is a fantastic instructional video for anyone going to the Ring for the first time. Brought back some good memories watching this, thanks for sharing!
Well done joe & thanks for taking us with you 👍🏻
Looks like you had a great time. Looking forward to seeing some of the black series tour as well! 👀
Great job Joe! Thanks for sharing some "green hell" experience with your fellow BMW enthusiasts!
Glorious footage, you convey the thrill nicely!!
Don’t talk yourself down on the lap. It was smooth and controlled. Like others have said, you’re quicker than the rest of us. You’ll find the rhythm and memory of the track.
Well done!! You were driving smart for your first lap out. It was refreshing to see someone drive normally (not super fast) as it gave a better sense of what it’s like. Good use of keeping your head up and eyes looking through corners. Track awareness was very good. Obviously, your on circuit driving helped. I really enjoyed it Joe!
Great video Joe! First time watching the ring from the car's cockpit.
Well done Joe , and so refreshing to see a modern beast like that with a manual gearbox ! great video.
Thought your lap was awesome!! genuine fun while keeping it safe and quick WELL DONE!!
Looked like lots of fun, well done, you kept your cool and made it look easy.
Great video, I really enjoyed it.
This was awesome! Good job. ✌️
Great video, bucket list item.
Perfect driving and super respect ✊
Just came back from here last week! Was amazing took my M3 wicked experience
Joe thanks for your helpful guidance on the ideal trackday mindset 👍
Drive it like you stole it Joe! Another great video. Love the in car shots.
Totally enjoyed your video Joe!! From the drive towards the track and into it, it allowed us to have an experience of what it is like to be getting there there. And of the nervousness you described, really made us feel like what we'd feel too..thank you so much for sharing this. You're a modest guy .... obviously a whole lot better than so many yet so humble...."absolutely crawling" hahhahaah. Totally enjoyed watching this video of your driving and of your comments.
Very down to earth and informative!
Looked smooth AF to me Joe. Lovely job
your lap makes me want to go out there so much more now the amount of fun you had hopefully next year i have the time and money to be able to drive over there
Brilliant video. Nice camera work.
I really enjoyed this video, even if you were a little quiet. It's always been a dream of mine to drive on the Nurburgring, and I really need to do that before I get too old. LOL! Watching your video gave me even more encouragement.
Good stuff, Joe; you give hope to many of us mere mortals🙏
Joe that was a wonderful video. Your drive was steady and controlled just like a proper chauffeur.🤣
Loved it Joe, makes me feel that I was there!!!
I really enjoyed that .. great to see someone just driving it with out trying to chase a lap time. It’s the other cars on the track that terrify me… at least everyone seemed to be sensible and giving space during the overtake.
I feel the bulk of these comments says it all. Great video and the honest approach is really refreshing. For someone who still dreams of getting his first lap in, its a far better style of video. Well done Joe.
Thanks man a really learned a lot 😉🔥
I’ve never been jealous of anyone in my life until now mate lol good stuff!
Hey Joe ,just enjoy the Ring .It makes so much fun 👌🏁👍
Brilliant video Joe one of the best and very honest, sooooo jealous😎🇦🇺
Great vid Joe.👌🏻
Nothing wrong with being extra cautious Joe 👍🏼 especially in a powerful weapon like the M4 Comp. You did well 👏🏻 everything considered 😎 As long as you’ve enjoy it that’s all that matters
The m4 looks nice and clean in this spec of black on black with the basic seats and manual trans.
I’ll be the one watching on the balcony joe haha I’m happy to watch you fang it 😀👍🇦🇺
Am in Perth, Wetern Australia, you guys have all the fun over in Europe. Will do the Philip Island M day once our borders open up. Another good video.
Such an amazing place, it's sometimes nice to watch people that are a bit less confident and happy to admit that, a lot of people who come here need to take that approach a bit. I've probably done about 100 laps and I still don't know much besides the way the track goes and a few major bumps and stuff better safe than sorry!
Even though you say you were slow it was still good fun for us Achilles fans and although I have been on the Norbergring loads of times I wasn’t in any danger as it was in Gran Tourismo and there was no danger to me or the imaginary car!!! Ha Ha Ha, still nice to be back on all those bends👍👍👍🚘🚘🚘😁😁😁
Great honest content not the usual CZcamsr driving around London high hp cars with no 3 pedal clue 👏
Nice driving Joe. Made me realise how much i miss the Ring. Still can’t get used to the beaver face front end
Great video, Joe. My first and only Ring lap was in 1986 at the wheel of a rental Opel Kadett. It was not fast.
Gives ‘M135i ring trip together with Robert’s E46’ vibes…👍 Lovely content both now and then!
Looked like a very safe/fast "first"lap, Joe... your lines didn't look too bad at all either. Just a good job you know your own ability and don't showboat so you had enough in reserve to adjust for wrong lines.
Great stuff.. loving all your content mate!
Also, I love how you're in Germany but also in Paris in an SLS Black Series... 🤣
You did great. I find myself also do the peace sign when i am on the ring and spot the photographers out there ✌
Love the videos bro and epic driving. Just a request if you can do a full review on the audi rs4 b8 please just need a hournest review from you
great job fella
« This is the slowest corner of the track I know that much » 😂😂 Really enjoyed that video, definitely very intimidating when you’ve not been for a long time 😱
Good job....noting wrong with being cautious
Kudos to you, Joe! That does indeed look properly slick! Mission accomplished! Last thing you want to do is show up on someone’s “Best wrecks of the Nurburgring” video! 😉
Personally I think doing as many laps as you can on PS/Xbox/PC with steering wheel helps you with positioning on track etc. Maybe it won't show you actual geometry of bumps and elevation, but nice way to be some kind of prepered for the actual lap. Cheers Joe, as always love your conent and seeing how it progresses each video.
Awesome content, love it! Real life Forza Motorsport dreams.
interesting and actual information and very very nice car :)
Don't sweat the lap time, sounds like you had a blast! Would love to go in my F31 340i
When you're confident in your abilities, you don't have to prove anything. I know your peers respect your abilities.
Glad you are being honest with this.
Looks fun though. Bucket list stuff for me.
Great job.... 👍 all things considered !!!
Once you get a taste of the Ring it's hard not to go back for more!.
You were fortunate to have so little slow traffic and not too many quick ones. You had about 60% more free corners than most do on better days. Way more nerves than I’d have on a damp surface. Thanks for publishing it. Looked like a blast if the car had a track screen and would call out speeds and turns of your previous lap augmented by abs and yaw angles to help coach you round unattended. Plenty fast enough for the conditions‼️ 🏎💨
I just drove my first laps on the Nordschleife a couple of weeks ago in a rental GR Yaris. It was exhilarating, intoxicating fun but I also felt like a complete amateur, barely scratching the surface of the Yaris, being overtaken by MX-5s and ancient 3-series. I can imagine what it was like in that M4! Anyone who doesn’t feel like a beginner on the first 10, 20 or even more laps is surely heading for a big crash. I’ll be back and, by the sound of it, so will you
I have never enjoyed watching a nurburgring lap until this one. You may be an amateur but at least its fun to watch. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Joe, good video. Can you pls let me know which gopro car seat holder do you have? Thanks
Looked great to me. Nice to see manual shift's. Atb.
Good safe lap joe 👍😁
Also good to hear the risks involved …health and financial
Could get very very expensive in the blink of an eye
Gives us a bit of perspective
Thanks for sharing your first ever lap at the Nurburgring with us!
Here for the skids!
Well done 🔥
Never seen Joe this nervous before 🤣🤣🤣
Love the M4
Great video full of honesty and authentic feelings ! Like others have mentioned I would love to see you in an i4, soon. Would support my decision to change from the M340i to an EV (or not). Any plans ?
Thoroughly enjoyable! I was trying to see the speedo but the steering wheel was blocking it. Looked pretty quick though 😉
Brilliant
New subscriber!!
A true gent
You looked like Captain Slow at times 😀, but still infinitely faster than I could manage I’m sure!
Brother Joe you were complaining about not having the layout memorized because it's such a long track. Well wouldn't this instance be a good time to use a heads-up display of the course? Just curious. You are so lucky to be able to drive on that track! I hope to be as lucky as you one day. Thanks for the great video!
Can you please put us throgh the set up of the rev match?
How is the manual around track? Not worth pushing if your not comfortable, I’d be the same
Cool, that u can turn off the Infotainment. I want that for autobahn driving at night. Should only go on when a turn off is coming.. Can u do that, like the old BMWs
Any chance we’ll see your POV of the Black Series tour?
WHAT FUN!.....
Would of been good to see the power meters on the middle infotainment screen!
Nice safe lap Joe. Best to give maximum respect to the Nordeshleife.
Regarding insurance I thaught that Adrian Flux would insure UK drivers cars at the Ring??
Need to have a lap or 2 with shmee 150
BMW M4 best car!!!!
No worries Joe, you did better than 99.99% of “car guys”! Don’t those M cars have a lap tracking function that you can use at the Ring?
