After visiting Richard Hammond at the smallest cog, i was confident that id just about finished the restoration on the e46 BMW m3 that i found abandoned at a race track but before i dropped it to the bodyshop to finish the paintwork i wanted to go and enjoy the car! What better place than the Nurburgring in Germany, the most intense and dangerous tracks in the world!

matt is not pregnant but he is always delivering
🤣🤣🤣
Matts a midwife 👨⚕️ 😂
Thats good one :)
That’s a good one bro i like it 🔥
Coffee just came out my nose 👃 🤧 😄 🤣
Peter really whipped out a throttle actuator for a 20 year old BMW after just a few minutes what a legend 😂
S54 throttle actuators and throttle position sensors are something I keep on standby for my own car. I’d hazard a guess that they last 75-100k miles, but when you need one, you need it right then.
Well if you can't get parts for bmw in Germany, then where could you?
It is Germany after all :3
He truly is a legend. 2years ago a friends fuel pump failed in his Golf GTI 2010. We came by Pete and after a couple of minutes of looking he found a fuel pump for us.
@@Chillo3850 just thought it was funny he got one so quick. A relative of mine waited 3+ months on a replacement passenger airbag for a Chevy and the dealer kept her car the whole time
Peter is a absolute legend, spot on guys what a journey.
Meeting new people is what its all about.
Wicked ep, mate! Looks like you got the full experience. Next time, me and Phil are coming 😉
I would like to see that💥
Make it happen guys 🤞🏼
Yes! Phil needs to be unleashed!
Now this is something I need to see 😍
A collab between you two would be legendary.
15:16 you drove past the exit 😂🙈
Kill me now 😭
Your positivity shines through even through the difficult times! What a legend Mat 👏
There is another exit/entry on the Nordschleife at Breidscheid. It's on the right of the left turn on Breidscheid bridge after the slowest corner on the whole track. So pretty easy to find. You passed it at 15:15
In the moment of hearing your car give a warning sound and lose power, your mind isn't processing things like it normally does. It panics, and something "easy to find" becomes an afterthought
I lived about 55min from the ring and was able to take the drive over often. Sometime I would just hang out in the parking lot because I had a bad feeling. It was never a waist because of the scenic B road drive to the ring, cars and people you see at the Nordscheife, and the Autobahn on the way home was always so much fun. Mat I’m glad you got to experience that and share the moment with us.
just when I thought all my favourite automotive you tubers let me down on a Sunday our boy matt comes through
I think flat out media have a video out today also! They are matts friends
Alex has a pretty good vid out today as well
Tee Juice Hunt posted a video about his perpetually broken c8. And fresh kicks just uploaded as I was typing this comment 😅.
Bad luck with the actuator, every now and then we all need a Peter.
Peter the legend. Dude one day you will have some luck on a road trip 🤙
Mint video yet again Matt.
Your M3 looks so good on the road! After all the work you've done and the only thing to go was that part shows what a brilliant job you've done with the car 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video Matt! One of your most exciting and interesting trip videos ... Despite the drama! And awesome that some car repairs/work still managed to be sneaked in aha! Keep up the good work and can't wait to see it finished!
2 remarks for the future:
- You could have exited the track at Breidscheid for free
- Lap timing is illegal during touristenfahrten to reduce accidents
Yeah, so is filming...but who really cares?
@@rs4b7 Obviously you obey the rules of a RACE TRACK.
@@rahikkala toll road
@@rs4b7 no one everyone does it
Bet your fun at a party
This was such a good episode, not once have I been nervous watching a nurburgring lap but I was tense watching this one! If you aren't rich and you crash on a race track it's pretty much downhill from there...
It’s not a race track, it’s a public toll road with a very expensive recovery service
Guys like Peter are worth their weight in gold.
19:55 That work shop is like e46 heaven shout out to Peter🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love you guy!!! Real champs and great memories had all in all a successful trip...one breakdown, tow and repair later...lol. You had a dry and wet lap!!! Thanks for a great video🛤
Man you are really living my Dream life, im so happy you share your experiences and keep coming with amazing content! Been following you from the First episode with the Bentley build and I got to say: you are an absolute mad lad
I love that most youtubers this would be an "oh, worst news, sad, sad", or "trip to the ring destroyed, wasted hours and money", but instead it's a fun adventure. Keep the good vibes rolling.
I am so envious of you Matt regarding all of your builds and even more so the BMW builds. Keep this up. Can't wait to play around with my F30 once ive finished the garden!
just discovered this series (and your channel), watched all the E46 vids yesterday - loving it. I've been 'modding' my E92 of late, so can relate to a lot of what you've been going through!
Matt your video making skills have increased 10 fold Super enjoyable video can’t wait for lap 2 and I hope you had your ring sticker for the back of the M3 and the still picture of you entering that corner deserves a place on your wall back in the lock up it’s a beauty
Yes Matt! Can’t wait for the result after body shop! 💪🏻👌🏻
Love your upbeat attitude to everything so refreshing.
What an incredible luck to have a chance to work and drive all those amazing cars. Wish I could experience some of that 😊 Mat your videos are so addictive, best of luck with the future projects.
Throttle actuators in these are famous for going wrong. In my old E46 M3 I always kept at least 2 spare in my glovebox, along with a MAF sensor. The front actuator is usually the culprit, but the one under the intake manifold can also go out. Actuators only cost about 45 quid brand new here, you got ripped off mate!!
Mat you have a fantastic outlook on life, it's infectious. Thanks for doing the videos, I'm really enjoying them.
One of my fav builds, such a good looking car! Awesome work
The production and content on these vids is amazing this is the new Top Gear 🙂
But the guys there can speak a correct English, not this terrible slang... 🤦♂️
Should have got captain slow in your car for this episode :p
Wow matt! Just wow! What a great and humbling experience - thanks for sharing. x
As always brilliant content, love seeing your motoring adventures 😀
Awesome video! I totally thought you'd crashed it! What a great trip, it all added to the fun of it
Doing a timed lap on your first visit just breeds these delusions in drivers, you shouldn't even be considering timing it. Recipe for disaster
Big fan of the guy but his whole attitude to the ring was pretty poor, throttle actuator prob saved him a big accident tbh.
Agreed. TF is not for timed laps.
Only you!! 😂😂 thankfully there was a absolute legend to help! 👏🏻 Peter!
Good watch and glad it wasn’t a crash after all the work getting it back on the road 👍
Didn’t realise the throttle actuator was a common issue on the e46 thought the e92 M3 & M5/M6 V10 were the only ones plagued with it! Old cars now so everything is becoming a “common issue” 😅
Even though the E46 broke on the track this was one of my favorite episodes 👌
You were very excited seeing that damaged GT3 😂I’m always faster in the game, don’t have to worry about smashing it up😱😱😂brilliant viewing mate, right up my street🤘🏽👌🏽🫶🏽good to see you banging these cars about after all your hard work on them. Gutted for the BMW and you boss but still looked like you had a good time, good old Peter😂well done Mat.
Awesome video...great to be able to share your journey with the E46.
Great experience for you Mat, great people live at the ring to help us out with the cars when they break down
*I'm convinced you've bad luck with cars abroad but thank goodness for it great content for us to watch it* 🔥
Fair play mat , from rebuilding the m3 to flying it around the ring!
watched one vid and it led me to all the videos , ur videos make me just smile man u got ur self a big fan matt
wow Matt,what an experiance,Im so happy at least 1 of us got to go on the Ring and enjoy at least 1 lap.U made me feel as if I was there myself.
Matt, i live in Germany. Be very very careful showing German number plates (as you did with the crashed Porsche). German privacy laws are very different from U.K. and basically the owner of that car has a right to privacy which you have infringed. I suggest you pixel the number plate
It would only affect him if he was still in Germany (which I’m assuming he is back in the UK) so the Porsche owner has no rights now.
@@jimjamthebananaman1 that's not the case he was filming in Germany therefore he need to obey local rules moreover you can watch the clip in Germany too, but the worst case scenario the UA-cam will take down the clip nothing more
No one cares what the german government thinks.
Unbelievably petit 😘
@@greg55678 it’s not. “KL” is Kaiserslautern
Don’t understand the purpose of modifying a car changing suspension/brakes but putting budget tyres on it 🤣
The same tought
THIS! haha i was sitting here thinking the same thing.
its when you need tyres, but you have already used up all your credit card limit on other mods... 🤣
A lot of them love the LingLong Dichtfinder tires, cheap and ready for the nearest ditch.
@@thefridgeman Even on my Econobox Fiesta I run Hankooks, can't imagine running anything less than a good sports tire on an M3. Spend good money on the 3 things that separate you from the floor: Bed, shoes, tires
Matt, great content (as always) ! You had a go , broke it , towed it , fixed it (well Peter did) and then …… BACK OUT THERE ! Well done mate
Love your content Matt your the best. I just wish you had better luck with your cars abroad of late 🙈❤️ keep up your great work bro
Using your windscreen washer fluid to cool your radiator and oil cooler during a lap would have helped with the heat.
Matt, when the range is on the road. You can take the M3 back over for a lap on a trailer. This was good content maybe take more cars over for a lap since you have the range now
Well done for actually going and experiencing it
Episode get better and better , wow , i really enjoyed this one as well , get home safe guys !!!🤜🤛
Not with them tyres. The game does not use budget tyres. 😂
Can you provide a breakdown of the costs for your trip. Fuel, stopovers, ferry and circuit cost.
EU Insurance??
I feel your pain, we all went trough that hole when rebuilding a car that extensively... At least you did it and experienced the feel. Great !
Epic vid Matt, gutted that you broke down but least you got lucky with the fix and back on track👍🇮🇪
I love how you’re amazed that they had the part for your car in Germany. You know, like, the country where the car comes from…
And not far from the Ring where thousands of M3s go. lol
I'm sure I can hear a ghostly Sabine laughing hugely in the back seat and shouting 'Faster, Mat, come on, faster!😄
Pete my boy, youre a killer mccoy...
Having that spare actuator was a blessing...
Keep the vids coming MA!! 💪🏽💥
Great experience. Great attitude.. Thanks for sharing
Matt shame you don't know Misha Charoudin he probably would've done a Collab and given you a taxi lap for all the pointers then helped you out after
I was just saying to myself how does Matt get away with not having a front number plate, then you got pulled 🙈
Good job he conveniently had a front one ready made up in the boot, Which is what no doubt, all smart arses that drive without them do.
@@MrDurham55 lucky the police didn’t make him screw it into his smoothed bumper like they did to my mate years ago 😂
One of your best videos ever Mat, looking forward to seeing the wet run.
I like how you fix up the cars but actually put them through their paces. Proper entertaining videos
SMG with the CSL rev matching map (a must!) would of been quicker ;), dosnt deserve all the hate, a new motor on the pump and its epic once you get used to it, there's a reason the CSL's only came as smg - the manual is not a great box imo.. but great video love the car and the work done!
I like the smg but it gets hate cos it’s so unreliable!! I’d never own one so bought a manual, and true The manual box isn’t the greatest but I’ve never not been able select a gear cos the smg motor has overheated sat in traffic in the uk 😂😂😂😂
@@Leeholtom2911 I had an SMG for 5yrs, uprated the motor and that's all I needed to do! Never had a problem, its like anything, if looked after properly it's not normally an issue
Mate would love to see Clarkson on your channel!! I know Hammond was a huge accomplishment but you rarely see Jerremy on people's UA-cams haha so that would be class. Try get him to go round a track with you somehow
Nah, Clarkson has turned into a grumpy old fart. Just stay true to yourself, you don’t need these “celebs” your a master on your own
They’re nobodies, they’re just TV sellouts,
celebrity culture is so dead, it’s about time everyone stopped looking up to these clowns
He's not on people's channels for a reason. He doesn't want to be
OMG, what an epic adventure, with no back-up car/team! So unlucky with the failure, but then soooo lucky meeting Peter, and getting it all fixed so quickly!!
Gotta say I love watching your videos but not so keen on this. Timing laps isn't on and is dangerous for you and other track users. Thinking you know where you're going and what the tracks doing off the back of laps on a games console is laughable and pretty dangerous in my opinion. If the ring ever gets closed to the public it'll be off the back of people doing stuff like this.....
Awesome stuff Mat. I hope you guys had loads of fun.
Greattt
You keep making amazing content
And creating history👏👏👏.
I so wish I would have found you sooner... I have a 2011 BMW M3 and just love what you did to the E46 M3. Thank you for what you do... Wish I had your talent the things I would love to do... God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
Living the dream mate! Love the video, great story so far.
Much Thanx
Sharing the real tyme
with us... Exciting ya...
And then being directed
to Peter...what next?
Best 23 minutes 😅 amazing bro, great driving round the track too 👌🏽 can’t wait for the next one 😆
I think Peter deserves a hoody …. The 3 series whisperer
G👏🙌reat episode! always love your content mo matter what you are doing!
Love watching these videos. Keep ‘em coming…
Greetings from Germany. Nice videos mate!! Keep on the good work
Matt just found your channel looking forward to watching all your vids I’ve watched the Aston vid great news and well done getting it started 👍👍👍
I love your work mate
Finally video is out, keep up with the best content 💪

Brilliant Content Matt as always 😉
Smashed it mate! Quality
Thank you. 🙏🏻
Most of all - I like your positiv vibes. One thing is for sure. You will never give up. Greetings from good old Germany.
Videos where car repair knowledge or tools being limited offer great entertainment. Amazed at the value of your transport costs too. 👏
Matt u just something else bro that M3 wow god bless you, keeping doing what you like bro I'm very Fan of u bro🙌🙌🙌
Great content Mat 🤘🏽😁 Appreciation from South Africa 🇿🇦
amazing vid pal but you lads just kept the good spirits high and got it sorted breat content pal loved it
Ok, wicked drop once again.
No one hurt, metal and money
Mean nothing.
Stay safe.
Matt glad too see you having some well earnt fun and letting your hair down,shame about the weather but at least you got to experience the world famous "Ring".cheers mate Paul.
Fantastic video mate. Really enjoyed that one.
Love for peter. Absolute wizard 💖
Peter is THE man if your tracktool has problems on the ring or you need to get it FASTER. No website, no phone, but just a LEGEND!
PS: Costumer cars of Peter has the „MPP“ sticker on the back ;-) So, if its faster then you, now you know why ^^
Well,this is what i call CONTENT!!!Well done Matt!
(Speechless) Just so wonderful to have a video come out on sunday.
Awesome! Sorry that you had such an issue on the lap. It does teach me something (since I want to own an E46 or E92 in the future) - if you want to own one, you need to be prepared to repair it should the need arise.
Matt you're very lucky it wasn't something major...keep up the good work great videos man 😎👊👌🤙
Es macht so viel Spaß zu sehen, wieviel Spaß Du hast auf deutschem Boden ! Grüße aus Deutschland
Matt is always smiling. True KING!
