    This was when they tried to copy TG. Deliberately shaky camera work, fake car horns and engine sounds, unnecessary attempt at drama with some invented time constant. I'm glad they stop doing this and created their own style.

    The main reason why I watch Fifth Gear over Top Gear is for the informative setup. Top Gear always made it drama filled. While I was a child and up until High School, it was cool. But now, I like the information about cars without the need for drama. It would have better to see you get there early and have a nice bite to eat at a good restaurant in Valencia. Combining good cars and good food would be perfect.

    I know the feeling of the torture sitting behind 18 wheelers passing one another brings. I drove over 2,200 miles in about 5 days when I was traveling across the USA to get to my new job, and they did that basically the whole way.

    The North Americans are lucky to be able to have a 6-speed manual gearbox version of the M5 Touring.

    Driving a 1 litre Ford Fiesta hard only could return 22.1mpg of around the same year back then when this was recorded so 18 isn't bad from this M5

    Funny the number of people finding issue with the old Fifth Gear format, because it's a direct copy of their beloved 'old' Top Gear.
    It just proves that the format is pretty rubbish. People only put up with it because of the Clarkson personality cult.

    @robi4387 4 роки тому +1

    Hot hatches pushing 500. I suppose that is what hot hatch drivers think. And why they are so annoyed with BMW M drivers.
    He's wrong about the 207mph it isn't that fast, but it is significantly faster than the official numbers.
    He's right about its ruthless efficiency, its thirst and it making other cars seem a bit crap.

    • @suprac19
      @suprac19 4 роки тому +2

      Robert Walton-Sharp you are correct, it’s not 207, it’s 204mph.

  • @charitycharity3316

    What shite if they has used a normal diesel car say Passat estates c4 coupe etc he would have filled up once, got no speeding ticket and got there earlier by not having 4 or 5 fuel stops, plus valancia has an airport fed ex would have done it for 50 dollars

    did he just say VTEC at 3:12 on a european 5 litre V10?

    • @miguelangeldel6394
      @miguelangeldel6394 6 років тому +6

      In fact I think it is BMW's VANOS system, which is kinda similar to VTEC lol

    • @detective3728
      @detective3728 6 років тому +15

      For me it sounds like he says "V10 5-LITER....NOT V-TECH...
      DUMB HILLARY SUPPORTER...

    • @BarbecuedPossum
      @BarbecuedPossum 6 років тому +6

      no, he says "v10, 5 liter"

    But...its not a sequential lol

    • @robi4387
      @robi4387 4 роки тому +1

      ? I suppose not if it is a manual, but SMG = sequential manual gearbox

    • @matts.996
      @matts.996 4 роки тому +1

      Robert Walton-Sharp no it means simulated Manuel gearbox

    • @matts.996
      @matts.996 4 роки тому +1

      Robert Walton-Sharp it works NOTHING like a sequential gearbox.

    • @robi4387
      @robi4387 4 роки тому

      ​@@matts.996 But that is what everybody calls it.
      Critics love to disagree about what is ART and whether SMG is any good. You can call it what you like but it's a bit like going up to Picasso and saying that ain't the Mona Lisa.
      It is a manual with a Sequential Shifting function and that is a big mouthful in German with unfortunate abbreviation and I'm glad that it has synchromesh so I do understand your point.
