Thank you Sean!

@@nolemister Thank You!! Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@MrBlak300 Lovely Car! Busso V6? Enjoy and thanks for the nice comment - glad you enjoyed the video!

@ yep busso v6✌🏻🔥

@@TheCameltotem Right !

Exactly!

@@extremefeelingsmusic4028 yeah but the sensor kicks in when you have even less coolant that I did

Thanks Ian, and for me too. Unfortunately, despite how good it mimics an engine and gearbox, there’s something missing and that’s an actual engine and gearbox. 🤣

I20N for me, all day long.

The noise is only skin deep. Piece of wind pipe, and more often than not a pretty awful recording over the speakers. Yes talking about M / AMG cars, and many other ICE performance cars. The amount of tinkering I've done on ICE cars to get the sounds I love, long term, is unreal. The 5 N is done very well. Yeah sure it's no puristic live piano concerto like a NA V12, but when your driving a great road you get the engagement from the gears that are very convincing, and with the noises you expect, you quickly forget it isn't real. Like dancing to a great song, it actually doesn't matter so much if it's live or recorded, what matters that it is a good song.... If you think you've tried this car because you've driven other electric cars, you're wrong. It isn't like any other electric car imho and I've driven a few. It's not just those 'gimmics' or straight line speed, it also has a great chassis and you can really tell it was developed by a bunch of capable driving enthusiasts from the first corner. It's the complete package. I had personally dismissed it early on as being way too heavy, and sceptical of the "dct" gears and fake sounds given that I hated the fake sounds on my previous driver's cars (in part on my channel). I was untill recently a low weight manual only "snob" that pulled up his nose for cars over 1,5 tonnes and that aren't real manuals. Guess what, one review seen on my favourite back road and a test drive later I now own one since half a year and very pleased with it. I see the 'dct' as the rally sequential box I lusted after, together with the anti-lag... Best car by far - it does for me the near impossibly of combining a sensible family car and a driver's car, and being really good at doing both. If you can't use the space, I would still be glad this exists and eagerly wait what smaller enthusiast EVs can do... Glad I now don't have to deal with engine warming (spoiled half my journeys), turbo lag, heat soak and engine cooldowns. Not to mention worrying about money shifting and burnt clutches. Just driving joy from the first meter to the last. Feel free to disagree, but first after a proper test drive on some good roads, or you're missing out imho...

@@onehorsepower I can only endorse your description 💯%. The balance and car rotation is so good that you can only dream of it with an engine on the front axle. Then there's the direct throttle response, without any turbo lag. And if you can charge at home, you no longer have to go to the filling station/charging station, except for long distances.

@@onehorsepower the engine warming part and in general all the mechanical sympathy to me is part of experience of owning a car. you take all of that away and what is left is A to B car that might as well drive itself.

@@willpark7483 it’s not just a 120 with a big engine though. I mean in a sense yeah but you could say the same about the Golf GTi being the same as a GTD. or just a normal 1.6 Golf. For the money they are it means that they’re a great platform to improve!

@ It is mate…. I have an M lite myself, I know. Great cars but there is no kidding that it’s not barely different than any other M sport 1 series, aside from engine and very subtle styling its only the big callipers and rock hard suspension that give it away! they aren’t sharp or stiff like a proper M car, no limited slip diff like a proper M car and styling wise they aren’t like a proper M car.

@ I don’t doubt that. That’s why I’ve put a diff and better suspension on mine. I remember it stock before any mods and it’s night and day now. Thankfully the RWD 120/125i’s are pretty decent platforms already.

That’s a great story Brian!! What a car history, eh? You’re not wrong about finding a good one. I like to think mine would be a ‘good one’ as I have fixed the bad or weak points of the car. I’m surprised you missed the M140i having an M2C. I guess there’s something cool about having a non M car that punches above its weight with some light suspension mods, plus the B58 is a dream, and it’s practical!

@@roadreg1820 Reg, the M2C is brilliant but there’s something about the 140 that I can’t put my finger on. Recently test drove the M340i Xdrive but it’s so clinical and literally drives you instead of the other way around if that makes sense. As you say, some suspension mods and it kind of comes together. I reckon if the 140 had come from factory with a more uprated suspension and LSD, the thinking person would have passed on the full fat M and gone M lite thus affecting M sales hence why they left it a bit soft so to speak. 3 door 2018 manual Shadow here with Pro Nav, adaptive suspension and many extras. Keep up the content 👍

@@brianjackson7499great spec, rare getting a shadow edition manual

@@ells-aviation both of them

@ cheers 👋

@@roadreg1820in the vid you said single res delete so bit confused . So you removed the long tube one and the smaller square on just to sure ?

@ One of the points in this video was how to get more noise out of your exhaust without spending a lot of money on a Remus non res cat back system - Which is what I have. That systems replaces both resonators as it’s the Remus race. In the video I am suggesting instead of spending a lot of money on an exhaust system that will remove either both or one of the resonators, just do a single res delete, saving you money. A garage will replace that with a pipe, and it won’t be much to do that.

@ thanks mate I don’t want it to loud but more than stock so will go for yhe one first . Love the content

@@clarkfox7961 Nice. Perhaps you could be using it differently.

Yes absolutely !

@@fizywig I would say 20 is a good deal. The mileage is awesome but it has 1 option. Try for 20, then you got a bargain.

Thanks Chris, appreciate that. Yeah, great shout on just the back box. It will still sound great and be a noticeable improvement on stock without drawing too much attention to your car!

Thank you!

I agree - mine is just how it was stock, so I can live with that. Keep on’ motorin’!

@roadreg1820 beautiful sounding cars and fast enough for the road. Mine m135i stage 2 with ps5 tyres the car handles fine and puts the power down.

Thank you. Yeah fantastic tyre! RE: CarPlay ua-cam.com/video/pIiKtHKYGh0/v-deo.htmlsi=4EoxKA-n9TZuDThx

Older than you by a bit ! Yup, it always puts a smile on on my face when I hear the ZF farts or the brum/pop when I lift off the gas after a hard pull!

Thanks Dean. Yes you’re right about that. I actually do that but not when the engine is stone cold in the morning. Usually I’ll do that when people are around and I’m trying to go somewhere without drawing too much attention to myself 🤣

@@roadreg1820 Ideally I wouldn't do the coldstart trick on a stone cold engine but I've got no choice re my 35 neighbours on the complex where I live, and it's what made them finally except me😉😂

Very nice! Thanks for watching 😃

@@nallanw4329 thought the adaptive was better than the non adaptive msport suspension?

@@shaneevans774 perhaps - I’ve never driven one with passive for a comparison. My car feels similar to how Reg describes his over bumps. Maybe slightly better.

​@nallanw4329 I like the passive suspension in mine. I had fiesta st before this on stock suspension felt like my bones were breaking over bumps.

I second this, although am down in Dorset!

@@jonscoupe Perhaps that’s something I could arrange soon. Would be nice to meet fellow subscribers. Watch this space !

Ultimate BMW

@@legendgalaxy I think it’s time to delete that. I wouldn’t mind a sports cat one day, but my Gosh it wouldn’t be subtle anymore 😆

I’ve just done the B8’s with the M4 LCAs and got rid of the adaptive. I have the M Performance LSD and powerflex subframe and diff inserts. Car feels amazing. I’m glad I did the B8’s as they are more refined at dealing with bumps than adaptive ever was and, the LCAs compliment nicely with better turn it, less steering input and a heavier steering (which I like). Wish I did the B8’s 2 years ago rather than a maxton bodykit all the way round but we live and learn. Cars solid now and is a real pleasure to push in a straight line and in the bends. I find myself less bothered about straight line now and more corners given the M4 LCAs. Being stage 2+ as well it’s a real joy and when I do hit triple digits (on the autobahn lol) it is way more stable with the B8’s than adaptive ever was. It’s slightly firmer at lower speeds but it doesn’t crash and feel like it’s sunk in potholes like adaptive did.

@marveysingh9592 nice what I expected. Only reservation is removing the adaptive. Just got a quote for over 2k for the suspension, inserts and LCA fitted. Damn!

@ from who? It sounds about right. I paid £1700 for B8’s, fitted, adaptive coded out, M4 LCAs fitted, alignment done. My adaptive suspension has been removed for around a month now no issues

@@marveysingh9592 performance M, seems a bit high to me it was circa £750 on labour, for 1 days work if that

@ yeah same place that did mine. They are expensive but the quality of work is good. See if there are any Black Friday deals. Their labour should include alignment though which is crucial.

Congratulations!

I would say so yeah, if you can afford it comfortably then why not. It will make it even better

@@deanoearly8817 Just normal ‘Comfort Mode’ 🤩

@roadreg1820 Alot of people don't like the Eco Mode so I've read but if used properly with the coasting feature and driving like Miss Daisy 😂 I've seen over 50mpg 😁😉👌

Very nice! The Dampers make the car smoother and not bounce around. Whilst they are firm, they are not uncomfortable or crashy. That’s a good suggestion!

That’s the point of the video

@ and the point of my comment is that the point is pointless. No one decides between snow foam or nothing at all. I think people would rather know if it’s worth buying snow foam set up over a cheap bottle of soap.

@ The point of the video is to prove that snow foams aren’t gimmicks and do work, in particular the one I used in the video. I made that quite clear in the video. That’s the ‘point’ I’m making in this particular video, regardless of if you agree or disagree. Thanks for engaging though, and watching.

He’s much more well spoken and more literate than I am but That’s extremely kind ! Thank you 🙏
