The fact that Mike Brewer is in on the joke is just wonderful
Mike is a really nice person. He made video's for people if you send him a message. Got a really nice and personal message back. Just really nice.
@@OmegaGarage respect for him! I wish Ed was in that video to
I just saw that part and laughed so hard hahaha!
Where did the 'old aat yerand' first come from?
@Rylee :3 I know, WD's aren't the same without him
Mike had me in stitches with that walk ahaha
Loved it
I thought he was going to show Alex how to do it properly 😂
I very nearly pissed myself :'D
that was amazing rofl im dying
I think I was laughing for a good 5 minutes after that bit from Mike. 🤣
😂😂
Hold out your hand
"Oh for f**k sake Alex not again"
Upgrading this video to legendary status
Guys in UK: wanna buy a bmw? 150£?
Guys in Finland: wanna buy a bmw? ill lowball it for you 5500?

Lol literally. I was amazed at the price of them over there
Mike Brewer cameo! Genius! When lock down is over they should definitely give you guys your own tv show!
Not really, he completely screwed over Edd, Car Throttle is awesome on its own, no need for a tired car salesman talking crap on the show....
Yeah, pretty similar to old top gear before the budgets got daft when they moved to amazon. I think it’s amazing what car throttle do, if they had a bigger budget to play with I recon they’d be more successful than current top gear, which i still can’t bring myself to watch
@@georgeoliver652 well said George 👍
Mike Brewer is a right knob
Ryan Mutch same here. Not keen on their crew. Well maybe I would be, just don’t call it Top Gear.
Girls when they here that a man has multiple cars:
"God he must be rich!"
Man with Multiple Cars:
CR Studios better to have multiple cars than a car called ”multipla”😂
@@alexcornofficial they are horrible insipid things
*Hoovie has entered the chat*
@@alexcornofficial Quite right! 😂😂😂
Even a £150 Beemer that's falling apart would be better 😂😂😂
Exactly :D I have 3 shitboxes but I still have an option to choose in the morning which car I want to take
Its so hard to believe that someone would actualy sell a car like that with all the extra stuff for only 150£
They didnt. Like all these youtubers everthing is pre planned and exaggerated. The wheels were worth more than that.
And did u see how clean everthing was😂😂 150£ BS
I bought 520i automatic with not catalytic

sold it for 450
He wanted to buy some rocks
did you watch the video on the £50 civic?
Fix it up, stick on the roof rack, fill it with a roof tent and road trip to Norway!
Up
Actually cool idea
YES!! (and maybe give it back to the owner? )
YESSSSS
HELL YES!!!
Mike walking like that got me in stitches haha
If he had walked into a wall that would have been funny..but watching a fat backstabber not so much
I laughed out loud for sure 😂
What a legend.
@@martijnkosters9024 definitely not a legend
What a cameo by Mike brewer! Hero.
Yeh loved it - blew rice out my nose wen he slammed his laptop hahaha
I laughed for about five minutes straight that was hilarious
That was a such a surprise. It’s been 5 mins straight I have been laughing
Mike Brewer is a legend for that cameo
3:28 that Clarkson impression is SPOT ON.
that was cool with Clarkson haha
E39 in my countie lowest price is around 3000£
Tbh I’d still pay it for one
its worth it
@@leimuh no it isn’t lmfao
where are u from?
"I am selling a car for an incredibly low price because I am moving abroad." Sounds like the beginning of every other scam.
To be fair, at £150 you can't go very wrong
Pretty much indeed man!
"I am selling a Car for my friend ...who has moved abroad" (Welcome to Ireland) Here is a real advert example. His mate is in Australia apparently, would you hold out yer hand?
www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2008-opel-astra/24323519. No MOT (NCT) but will fly through! 😁
Hmmm sounds off id take it but i havent got an account
Seems like sometimes it's true and now it's time to cry cause I probably missed a good deal not contacting seller who's really moving abroad and selling for cheap.
Do a restoration on a budget with this car, fix the engine mounts, rust ect. on a budget in your driveway
This exactly
I love you Mike Brewer. Such a brilliant sport!!!!! Thank you for not being a dip-stick and letting your fans down by getting all moody, but, joining in instead. Legend.
Things to do with the car:
New secondhand rims
fix up all problems e.g. engine mounts, suspension, brakes etc.
fix up rust
power boost?
exhaust upgrade
comment more
Straight pipe
Dixie horn
Pump injections
A tune!!!!!
An actual Mike Brewer cameo. This is why I love this channel.
mr m brewer
He's been brewing up a storm with Mike ! Ha geddit?! Glad Mike sees the funny side, was hilarious, good sport. Cheers Alex for another cracking vid
6:26 BEST CROSSOVER OF THE DECADE! The waddle finished me 😂😂😂
Tonight on bottom gear:
I do a gloglohhhglohh, Hammond finds a Bmw and James ceases to exist
No love for James 😔
That walk after the handshake is the one positive thing in this year :) love this channel. Best wishes from Canada guys!
6:27 Yes Mike, legend! Love it when people get involved and have a laugh at themselves.
Brewer Legend...have you taken some substance to make such an inappropriate comment...back stabber for sure, narcissistic idiot absolutely
Alan Wayte cry about it on another comment bruh
Alan Wayte UUUUUUU ANT BAD UUUUUUUUUU
@@alanwayte1688 well said Alan 👍
MIKE F'ING BREWER! LITERALLY CRYING! XD
Kudos to Mike for taking the piss out of himself :) Love ya Mike!!
I spit out my drink.
@@2760ade 🤮
Well done Mike, for having a good sense of humor. : ) + 10 points.
"It's got a Chopped sticker on it too" haha everyone loves MCM
Yessss finally Mike's in a video
Hopefully his last
Repair some of the rust, engine mounts, service it (no spark plugs to forget this time) and then maybe give it a remap. Would also like to see more of the E34, (maybe you could do a head to head e34 vs e39). 👍
6:26 . we just brought our self a bmw .
Great video. I hope you make extra series about this car.
I was literally telling a friend yesterday how I couldn't find an E39 diesel for less than £2k right now and meanwhile Alex is finding them for £150 haha [crying]
He's not finding them, they're being thrown at him for dirt cheap. Good on him, but still...
Get in contact and offer him 500 quid for it see what happens 😂😂
There's loads on ebay, autotrader, gumtree etc etc for less than 2k
u can get e60 for 2k
You need to lower your expectations. Then take the lowered expectations and throw them out of the window.
I think it should be restored. Always love to see old BMW’s being kept on the road 👌
E39 are classics!
Not exactly budget friendly tho is it? haha
As the owner of a BMW E39 which I bought for the equivalent of £2500, I can say: No. The car has cost a lot of money and nerves so far. But I love the engine and the design. Getting his E39 back in shape will not be cheap. Luckily it doesn't have too few miles, there must have been some replacements, despite the lack of service. The rust is bad though.
My E39 only has 90000 miles. Almost all parts are still the original and initial delivered parts and fall apart bit by bit. Mainly rubber and plastic parts.
@@kornar the same was with my VW Golf MK4 it had really low miles but everything is breaking now but i guess its just going to be scrapped or ill try to part it out
I'm doing that currently with a 95 740il
Haha I love Mike Brewer, he was the man that got me into cars at a very young age, he needs to be brought into UA-cam content more.
Mike you legend the walk had me breaking my ribs in laughter
"it has CHOPPED stickers"
SOLD!!
Does not deserve that sticker. Some Gypsy car with tractor engine in sodomized condition? No, just no.
@@DashCamSerbia "tractor engine" really dude?
but does it have BLACKKKKKKK
@@DashCamSerbia yeah, Sodom is a cool band
Buy all parts from the junk and you got money left, the car is it worth!!
Alex: **Buys another cheap BMW**
Me: *"Oh sh*t, here we go again!"*
Ah instead of Oh
@@sopuli420 do you have nothing better to do??
spencer lord he ain’t wrong tho.....

@@spencerlord7679 you too? Me too?
My old man has had a 52 plate E39 530 d from new, it's a beast!! 240k on the clock on all original drive train, awesome car that does 52mpg!! Alas it's rusting toward retirement now.
@8:19 *flashbacks to "the dog's not new, this is new"*
The funnest Mike has ever been.....fair game !!! 😂
Yeah, that was great.
Ade Reeves laughed my ass off amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
Ade Reeves absolutely creased wasn’t expecting that at all 😂
Blimey, he's put some timber on in't he! Funny though, made me laugh. Good ole brewer.
That mike brewer cameo got me
Can’t wait for few videos on this love theses 5 series wagons 👌🏻👌🏻
Sort it out! Factory wheels, cleaned up, engine sorted and bushes sorted. Make it somewhat tatty outside but decent mechanically and use it as a daily runner 😀
4:43 "underneath the hood we should have an m51 d25" as he reveals the m57d25
I thought us Honda owners were bad with engine codes...BMW are on a whole different level.
Matt Beardmore why? M57 is the Engine, D is Diesel and 25 the displacement
EXACTLY I scrolled too far to see this comment. He says BMW 525d but mentions wrong engine. M51D25 would be called 525TDS.
That gearbox alone is like 6 times what he paid for the car
And six times more for a mechanic to fit it. And that monoxide death manifold
Thats a good point!
@@rockinghorsesciencemechani6020 actually it takes more to build a car than just raw material. You'll need employees who engineer the car. Then you need to order material which is delivered by...? Employees. After that the car gets crafted. Guess who will do this? Yeah you're right, more employees. The car will also need to be advertised and sold. Since no one is working for free the expenses go way up the 8-10k estimate you did. Big car companys can sell their cars for "cheap" because they produce in bulk. If you'd build 1 car and do all the work by yourself (provided you have the knowledge, tools and time) you'd may be able to actually spend that less.
@@Wraikey exactly
@@rockinghorsesciencemechani6020 I bet you're the type of person who evades taxes to _stick it to the man_
Yes yes yes! Would love to see a series of this car being tarted up!
Nice one Alex, first time to your channel. Very entertaining fella you have the nack in front of the camera 📸. Looking forward to the next vid 💋
Even in its condition it still looks good - E39's are timeless.
No, it just had good owner.
You can say that again! Timeless indeed!
@@antoniom_sports7971 good owner who would put the tires on the seats?? Oh lord🤦♂️
Smooth rides when looked after, even today!
Handsome looking car, timeless indeed
"here she is, my 150 pound e39!"
*plays creepy carnival music*
Love the bargain buy lads keep it up I want this series for lockdown
It's a M57D25, the M51's are pre-chamber injection engines from the tds models 😛
Nerd😂
Simon måge came here to say exactly that
@@abhilashnambiar3167 m57d25 is 163 hp not 143,so ye nerdines=20 hp,heh
Here comes the carnut flexing the deep wisdom

“Get Ethan to put that on”
Yeah nice one Jack! 😂😂
That Jeremy Clarkson impression made me laugh so hard!!!! This is exactly what a non native hears when he is speaking
Really? I'm not a native speaker and I always found it pretty easy to understand Jeremy Clarkson.
Had me rolling!
love mike's cameo - well done guys
and the Toyota Townace Cameo at 8:52 - i sold mine last year. really miss it
Do a drift build. BMW diesels with modifications are torque monsters.
no, please no
@@sheppardpat47 why?Diesels can deliver some serious torque an how much e39s you have seen drifting??
@@robertsdmitrocenko It's just that it's a diesel, yes it does have torque but it stinks, it sounds bad, there is diesel everywhere in europe..
@@sheppardpat47 you know nothing about cars diesel sound really good and diesel is economical thats why they're everywhere.
@@sheppardpat47 if it stinks fix the vaccum leaks
Mike Brewer - props to him for being in on the whole thing. My respect for him has gone up immensely. And THAT WALK!!!
Mike deserves no props at all!
Let's hope that edd china makes an apperence during repair
Same here. Fair play to him.
As soon as fat Brewer made an appearance I had to click off...awful man
Alan Wayte No. One. Cares
I’ve never heard a British person do a British impersonation until now
6:38 Can you imagine looking out of your window and seeing Alex holding out his hand to Jack, knees bent like he does!! lol
Great stuff! Love an old banger
The face Alex made when he said Ethan can change the filter 😆😆🤣🤣
6:28 I seriously wasn't expecting THAT
Top fella to respond that way.
Who’s is he? 😅

Looking forward to a follow-up on this video :-) Alex; you asked for suggestions, I would put the original wheels on it, maybe give it a double-barrel exhaust again but a nice sounding one and of course try to clean up the rust a bit
Great video, I remember the lad saying he sold it to Alex on the BMW E39 club on Facebook. 👍
alex 2019 i love rust. alex 2020 i love roof racks
Alex 2021, I love rusty roof racks
People change bro
Alex 2022 : i love rust ski box in rust racks
Love how you got Mike Brewer on 😂
Alex you should do a full video of Mike Brewer impressions, I could watch them all day.
Good video. Enjoyed it.
Flippin hell, that’s a bargain. Mikes cameo was brilliant.
That and the Richard Hammond impression got me 😂👌
6:31 lol! the crossover we all wanted.
E39’s still look great! Well kept examples are always a treat to see on the road.. Enjoy in good health!
This and Mighty Car Mods are the only two channels I watch, so I'm glad they gave the shoutout after spotting the chopped sticker!
Other UA-camr : LOOK AT MY 250K BENTLEY!!
Alex : My new £150 car!
And its more interesting to be honest
@@maxim430 tbh it is. Like seeing someone buy a car for so cheap is amazing
6:29 Mike you legend hahaha
I had an e39 530d with e53 3.0 engine from the factory. 218hp original. A little bit work on the intake, exhaust, a bigger intercooler and a remap almost 300hp. And i was a very happy owner of that amazing driver's car. It was automatic though, but that wasn't a disadvantage at all.
The mike brewer impression has me in bits every time 😂
Put on the original wheels give it a nice clean up inside and out and fix the exhaust (cheap).
U forgot to add to paint it pink
I'd love a series on this. Give it a full service, get a new exhaust, cover the dreadful wood trim (imo...), get a new stereo and DIY fix the bodywork. It writes itself!
I'd love the opposite, holow the cat out, egr delete, every mod, cut springs welded diff, drift it!
You two are like the angel and demon sitting on my shoulders 😂
@@SKOMPAS man please don't say that I love E39s and you're saying destroy it!
@@aadityatiwari2561 I'm saying it's already destroyed so let it go out with a bang, if its got that much rust on the body underneath is going to be nasty!
nah the wood trim looks good imo
3:38
That is both true, and hillarious :)
Keep up the great work Alex
I’m literally sat here just rewinding the Mike Brewer bit and laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Please make a series off of this, make upgrades/fixes to the point where it may as well be brand spanking new, I’d love to see something like that
they did a series fixing up an old skoda octavia, was really impressive
Ikr that car would be so fucking cool as a project
yesss
Love restoration series. Thorough service, engine mounts, bushings to get started with. The rust looks expensive.
Love the e39 used to have one got a e60 now can't wait to see what you do with this
4:40 in and you haven't started the engine yet. Love how you go through this....
8:40 my man is a real BMW driver, he starts the car and turns on angel eyes and fog lights
angel eyes are for the fake bmw drivers. what a way to ruin a beautiful car with riced out lights.

List of things you can do at home:
Oil change
Engine mounts
Ball joints or any other bushing
Tires?
Fix the horn
Easy, cheap, great vid
If you know what you're doing and have the right tools you can fix anything at home
I'd say leave the horn)
And the rust!!
@@Gabriel-mj1jk grinder?
@@Gabriel-mj1jk ik that don't worry but you can always go to a tire shop
I'm actually thrilled and i'm looking forward to see, what you gonna do with it. I've got E39 530D Touring and i'm thinking about selling it, but a had it for 7 years and it's in really good shape, so in my mind it's 50/50 for sale or keep it as a second car...because i recently bought Cupra 2007. So i can't wait to see what you gonna do, because i might end up to do the same thing and keep it :-)
Definitely best car channel

That sticker on the back, Mike´s cameo, the masks, nearly all my UA-cam´s automotive heroes in one place. Awesome!!!
1:15 we just gonna ignore that E63 Wagon
I remember seeing it in the background of the Peugeot video as well. If I'm not mistaken, there was probably a Maserati as well lol
What about it?
Yes.
Yeah its not as good as the BMW shut up
Hello There it's been in past videos
Had a 2001 E39 530i sport manual. I was 3rd owner. Retail £40k, 2nd owner paid 18 at 3 years. I paid 10.5 after 4. I sold for £1500 at 7 with 135000 miles on the clock. Miss it very much, but fuel, parts, service, notchy gearbox and shit electrics (remember the dead pixels) etc made it hard to love. Had Fabia vRS as a replacement and didn't regret it. Having said that, it was a quality car. Ex-wife had a 2000 530i SE on OEM M5 wheels and sport kit. Monster when it worked. Such fond memories of every wheel sensor disintegrating twice including MD and OEM replacements, the ABS ECU going as it was positioned exactly where the internal solder was most likely to melt, and the turbo failing at 135k in Devon with two small kids in the back. Oh, and 4 of the injectors failing simultaneously and seizing in place, and the arguments with a main dealer, and getting it trailered to a garage miles away who could be arsed to get them out and replace them. And the £4k bill. Good cars to look at and drive, but oh, so many flaws. Such a contrast between the M54 and M57s too, it was hard to believe they were signed off by the same company. Good luck with your diesel mate.
I love cars but I sub for the montages, they are amazing
That Clarkson impersonation was spot on lmao 😂
