      I am sorry, Alex, but carly is not good they charge the tip of a jet for some completely arbitrary info. You can get the exact same obd2 scanner from other companies that can do more without unlocking for money, and it can do the exact same.

    Mate, I have to say, listening to the latest podcast with Edwin and Will, and the others who are to be confirmed, (and let's face it EVERYONE is hoping it's Jack and Ethan 😉), it just made me think that it's so awesome that you are doing what you love, with all your best mates, they're doing what they love too, and you don't have a boss or company to order you around, it's just amazing, and that happiness in what you're doing really shines through in your videos and the podcasts, which are just an absolute joy to listen to and to watch.
    What a time to be alive when there is so much shit going on, your channel is a welcome and much needed distraction for car enthusiasts young and old 😎

    I’ve heard the m54b30 oil pump sprocket nut doesn’t like high rpms

    You need to get Ben Collins to drive them. My money is on the 330ci Superdooper Charged.
    I absolutely love this channel and you guys.

    "Giving away a rapid Swedish wagon". That wouldn't happen to be the one that's got a dented bonnet and was on presumably the last Car Throttle video which would also coincide with Ethan and Jack making an appearance?

    I'm feeling like the 330i will have it in the bag once it's tuned and sitting on some coilovers, the M3 won't be a pushover though with the extra 1500 or so RPM it has to play with, it should be an awesome match up.
