Last proper Rolls-Royce with a BMW engine? The last proper Rolls-Royce is the new Silver Spur of 1997

You lost me when you said this V12 is a better engine than the Rolls V8.....by no measure is this a better engine, the V8 was in production for over 40 years...for a reason!......

I have a 2015 pop bought new runs great no real issues regular maintenance never had check engine light handles great in the snow still in good shape after 9 Syracuse winters looking to buy a second one I've been a mechanic for 35 yrs its the best car I've owned when it comes to reliability and surprised how quick it is

Love these little things ❤

I bought a 100kM 330xd e46- you know what? Im happy 😂😂

I have the 1.4 multiair 101HP, manual with 247300 miles, still runs extremly smooth, all it needed so far was a clutch ones, timing belt ones and front break pads

Lol when you give it some beans and the back kicks out and your face goes from "Uh-oh!" to ".. oh?" to "Ooohhh =)"

Excellent review and history summary. I can't agree on the looks though - I just think there is something so wrong about the front side lights and also the rear lights. I do completely agree the Turbo RT is the one to have though. I would be interested on your view of the ride quality of the Seraph compared to the Shadow and Spirit/Spur. Given a Royce is for wafting along, that matters more than road holding or handling. Especially given the quality of our British roads.

You need to work on the accuracy of some of the history. The coupe was not made after 1981 (though I believe one or two were registered in 1982). There was also a fairly big upgrade for 1977 (big enough for the Silver Shadow to become the Silver Shadow II, though the Corniche didn't change series number). The steering switched from recirculating ball to rack and pinion amongst other changes. Easy way to spot a later model - look for the spoiler, rubber bumper and fog lights below the bumper.

No mention of the Arnage/Seraph with the 6750 engine, for me, the last real Bentley/Rolls Royce

1.9 tdi with turbo from audi v6 tdi and some fueling upgrades and cooling and u have a amazing daily

excellent video I would like 1980 s corniche coupes!!!!!

Great to watch. I’m getting a new white mild hybrid soon, really looking forward to it!

I got the life of me cannot find a 1.9tdi 4motion Passat! Been looking for the last year

The history lesson is boring!

Nice review… totally get your points. Found a special one locally and after seeing your thoughts we are off to drive it this morning…. It’s for my 17 year old daughter of course….. but I have to be collected from the pub in it. 😊

Great cars got two

11:47....was Sweep with you?

I currently have a 1.2 Lounge, and I bought it because its cheap to run and maintain. The economy being the way it is I needed to save money so its helping me do that, plus its 60s styling makes it more fun to drive. Most cars today look like featureless electric shavers so its nice to have something a little different 🤷‍♂️

Agree with all of this and I enjoyed your review. I absolutely love my 2008 1.4 Sport which I’ve owned since 2010. Loves to be thrashed, looks pretty, sounds good, nicely weighted steering (with Sport mode engaged) and brings on smiles with every drive. Without doubt the most reliable car I’ve ever owned and I even find it comfortable on long journeys, cruising on the motorway and dual carriageway in 6th gear. Mine hasn’t let me down in 14 years, even with lapses in the maintenance schedule in recent years. Will not sell it, even though it’s a little used garage queen nowadays.

fucking pijamas Redneck

Got one. Every time. It's simply fantastic!

Are the harsh ride claims really true? I never test drove this but larger BMWs tend to be smooth.

My man i hardly understand your English

In the US we got the 1.4 made in Mexico which didn't help. The engine is great. We had a Natural Aspirated engine from 2012-2014 100HP, the Turbo model in 2013 ~120 HP. Abarth ~160 HP, not the same as in the UK. They are slow at take off, but on the Highway they can do 80-100 MPH like nothing.

Where are you ppl getting these Rovers for so fuckin cheap- when I look them up on Craigslist they are still going for WAY OVER 6/7/8k in dollars which is way more than 3k pounds. KZbin BS

BMW KİNG BMW POWER 👑

Almost 10 years later and still in love with this lil tank.

Last real Rolls Royce in my opinion

I’ve owned 15 Rolls-Royce’s including a Silver Seraph. These are great driving cars and they are seriously underrated by the pundits.

Well done presentation of the car. Thank you.

Got 2 M57’s 1 330d m sport manual e46 vert and a 530d m sport manual e60 So yeah you could say I like them

Talk a glass eye to sleep you! 😂🫤

Yes,sir I want this

Do you have any tips what to look for I’m going to look at a 2005 x3 2.0d msport to buy tonight it has 160k on the clock it’s pretty cheap thought it’s worth asking any in put would be appreciated

Well I'm sold, perfect buying guide actually. I liked the looks, but would not have expected this car to be any reliable!

The American non-turbo FIAT 500s are all the same, regardless whether it's a Sport, Pop, or Gucci. They get all the turbo engine cooling features internally without the turbo. 101 hp. MultiAir, 16 valve cylinder head. Non-turbo intake and exhaust manifolds, & a higher compression set of pistons (10.8 vs. 9.8 turbo) are the only changes.

So basically youve got an abarth engine without the turbo ive got an abarth and it suits my purposes perfectly only down side was the security but i fixed that 😮

So ,is it for sale ?

Bought my s turbo for 700 euro 9 years ago ,at 170.000 miles she never let me down ,fuel economy is not great but it's cheaper to run than financed new car,and yes all s turbos came with LSD ,sure best way to check is jack the car up and spin the rear wheels,one thing I can't understand is mine came with red spark plug leads while yours are black

Tint the windows for God's sake 😅

Good lad, hang in there. Best car in the world.

Anti freeze is antifreeze all that colour stuff is nonsense. I think you did right thing getting all the work done. Probably go a year or two now with very little to do. Although you did get ripped off lol

Those front air strutts are £170 and should only be 2 hour labour max? These specialists you want to avoidm those strutts are very easy to replace too. Yours been older doesnt have the more expensive VDS strutt does it?

Beautiful car, wish we had these where I live. Some are starting to import the jdm forester s/tb but so far I’ve only seen one in Hawaii and it’s selling for $9K USD at the moment. Hoping I can own it one day if the price is right.

People never consider the air bags are rubber. They perish over time. Most common failure I hear on these are airbags

Still have my 2006 3.0i with a 6 speed manual. It gives a ton of trouble oil pan leaks broken driveshaft worn carrier bearing broken rear coil springs and broken evaporator. When she's in great shape she runs amazing I've done 10 hours straight on a road trip easily

Great vehicles! Will make for some great KZbin content. Harry Metcalfe, Jeremy Clarkson, Mat from High Peak Autos, and Iain Tyrrell also can't be wrong with their L322s!

What’s happened to your instagram Harry?

I’ve just got a 2001 s turbo with 240k kms for 1000€, as a previous owner of 2006 impreza STI , 2018 forester, right after this vid, i just cannot wait to go for a drive when it arrives :)
