Nice driving!

Best car by far I’ve owned. Always putting a ridiculous smile on my face, quick & efficient

I have the last call 6 speed manual version, i can confirm this video to be accurate

I have had nicer cars imo but always wanted a st … I’ll get one one day

bought my 03 325xi, no rust, 180k miles. Replaced all fluids and the bank 2 02 sensor when i bought it. Regular oil changes since. Not a single serious issue and an incredibly fun and linear, as he said, driving experience. Its mt third and favorite car. Before I owned a 2004 G35 and a 2007 Camry with a shitty turbo kit lol. Big upgrade in my opinion, with the AWD, the leather interior, and the ride quality is astounding. Couldn't recommend a BMW more.

Future classic. Sounds, looks, performance…and the engine is Hemi orange! Watch that shaker shake!

How reliable are they I’m about to look at a 2012 a6 3.0 has 50k miles and dealer asking 14k

As an owner of a 2020 Challenger Scatpack Shaker, I gotta say, this is an amazing review. Its 5 years old, and still very accurate in what to expect when you drive one these amazing cars. I love mine! Appreciate this review and watched it twice!

I feel the e90s design is way more modern than the e46. Put side by side with today’s cars, the e90 would look less out of place. Also i heard the e90’s interior build quality is very solid.

Would this make the M3 fail emissions

How long did the bilstein last?

The best 3 series is the E46 its not only better looking it also has a better engine to wheel power delivery. Not to mention the engine in E90 is not as reliable as the one in E46

Own the same car. Great review. He's right on spot with the overall impression⭐

Had one of these for a while, albeit an e91. you have got the description of the handling spot on.

You’ve been watching too many Chris Harris videos. At the speeds you’re driving “lifting mid corner” only results in the front end mildly tucking in. The chassis is so forgiving it’s easy to make a correction even on the limit.

i would recommend febi its not the cheapest but cheaper then bmw parts and in some cases perform better then originals. as for bearings go FAG

I really like how you presented this video - the line that "most people are going to know which is for them, almost right away" is representative of how many audiences the B8 platform pleases. My pick for 'Best B8' would be the one in my driveway, the S5 4.2 6MT. It offers a third combination of the ingredients that make the S4 and the RS5 so enjoyable: it has an RS4-derived 32V V8 that is free of the timing guide issues that plagued the 40V engines of the older B6/B7 S4s, a manual transmission, and a strong value proposition as they can be had for less than a 3.0T S4. The tradeoffs are real-world performance that is slightly below a stock S4, the same dead-end tunability of the RS5, and it certainly does not have the full character of an 8000+ rpm RS engine. All that said, the S5 stood out to me as a much more attainable alternative to a B7 RS4, since a manual transmission is a must for me. It still has a sonorous high revving V8, even if it doesn't match the performance and character of the RS cars. It also benefits dynamically with the optional sport diff that never was equipped to the B7 RS4. It may not be all that fast compared to any S car since, but I still smile every time I wind the 4.2 out to over 7000 rpm. It's a great car that I couldn't say no to for the price. There's something unique about the B8 Audi platform when compared to the older generations of Audi or competitors like BMW: the wide variety of character between the different enthusiast powertrain options let you choose a car that suits needs in a way that didn't feel like you missed out if you didn't buy the top of the line model. You might enjoy tuning an S4 more than hopping in an RS5, or in my case you could enjoy the manual V8 combination reminiscent of the B7 RS4.

Having trouble finding a stock one

VF Engineering supercharger, American Racing 6 into 1 headers, Water/Meth injection, Supersprint exhaust 🤘🏻

put the g17 additive in fuel is useless because it is a direct injection engine and therefore gasoline will not come to the valve tail

Great video..Im in Ontario Canada and I bought a 2006 BMW Z4 m roadster interlago blue which I was told is rare especially in Canada

Man its so beautiful

I used to hate seeing the fiesta st’s at car meets in the uk I used to yeah yeah crappy ford. I was an Audi gang fan boy. That was until October 2024. My Audi got written of by some old dude crashing into me. I didn’t have budget for another German whip so I bought a st2 with 51,000 miles onit for £8000. Mint example untouched apart from the mountune mp215 package. Wow what a car so much fun to drive and I’m now a fast ford fan boy. Now I know why I see so many of these little rippers at the car meets. The hype is real.

As a nearly 40 year old who has owned a lot of vehicles, you don't need to be a high school kid to get one lol. It reminds me a lot of ny old supercharged Miata. So that's how I think of it. A Miata with 4 doors, torque steer and a big booty 😂

This is one of THE best reviews of my favorite car, the (2011 - 2013) Audi B.8/8.5 RS5 Buzzy

The Best folks...

perfectly explained

Beautiful video!

Thanks for the video! I'm finally in position where I can afford either Cayman 981S or 718S. From what I read and also what people who actually drives these cars (journos, driving instructors) it seems like the 718 is better car in pretty much every way, except for the engine sound. And I love the sound of the 6cylinder in 981. But overall package of the 718 despite of the 4 cylinder is also really tempting. And I'm torn and don't know what i want more :) However I want to do some track days because I'm living just few km away from Brno Race track. And not far away is Slovakia Ring. Or RedBull Ring :-) And suddently some more performance is needed. However I still didn't decide. One day I'm like "OK I'm totally getting the 981". Next day it's 718... :-D

You’re very well spoken

E46 325xi was the best engine, with the same compression ratio as the M3 S54 engine, but a 700cc handicap, which gives better fuel economy. The M54 seems more reliable, and the 2.8 and 3.0 liter engines are a waste to swap in, when the original 2.5 block is already more power than most people could handle.

I would get an aftermarket exhaust and change the air filter and chip it for a little bit more power. It sounds great 👍

As a challenger owner now on my second car, this is a very real world and honest review. In my opinion the 6-speed manual is a must. The car is brilliant in many ways, although heavy it doesn't feel heavy. I put a mild 93 octane tune with a simple Diablo tuner, (not sure if this is available for the Scat) but simple mods really wake these cars up. This review is as honest as it gets, the smiles are truly non-voluntary. I forgot to mention I sold my first Challenger in March, and missed it nearly right away, buying a scat 6 months later. My first Challenger I owned for 10 trouble for years. Proper oil changes in good gas is all she takes

Anybody know what blow off valve/intake this is just based on the sound alone?

Makes heel n toeing look so easy

These cars are for the more refined individual that has gotten past the ridiculousness of the "need for speed." To do everything well like the LC, is a way more accomplished feat than any car that's just fast. 9 out of 10 times, a fast car has only that as it's claim to fame. The LC 500 is so versatile and equally particular in it's craftsmanship and materials, it's laughable to compare anything to it! From my past ownership of BMW's, Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati...my 2018 LC is the clear overall champ, and it ain't even close.

5:26 That Mercedes dashboard, what in the F are they doing...Jesus Christ, no wonder the number of accidents has increased at a ridiculous level!

Ive owned mine for almost a year. Definitely the best car ive owned, and ive owned alot of hot rods. Camaros,mustangs,monte carlos,firebirds,cutlasses. Everytime i start this beast up i smile. What a machine, especially with the six speed manual trans. Great video.

I tell you this guy does a great review. I am getting a 2015 Cayman S delivered next week. Have always been a 911 guy, but this is just a great video.

One of the very best driving reviews I've seen. Feel myself in the car on that journey with you. Smiling wildly to myself. Happiness on 4 wheels defined and demonstrated

This looks like new England....

Was thinking about trading my 2016 981 GTS boxster for a 718 GTS 4.0 cayman but I think I will keep it for now. Great video, thanks.

This is a good review. Good luck with the channel. Wow those sport seats look good with the blue exterior. Had my 335i over ten years and 156k miles and it drives almost like new. I will say the maintenance has been higher than expected on a few occasions however it is worth it. Good all around car with fairly low entry cost. Good power, good steering feel, and good body lines. Glad I bought the car.

damn that into is siiiick as fuck! I wish there was a video like that for the Ford Focus ST. i just got one as my first car

Thanks Evan. Cheers🍺

I miss my 07 GTI which I sold to a friend a few years ago. When I sold it it had 280,000 km on the dial. It now has over 400,000 km on it. Great car!!!!!!!!!!

1:18 PTV is a stand alone option on the 981 GTS it is not standard equipment. Beautiful car though.

99.999% in reality

What exhaust is on this beast
