The Stig rips the new BMW M3 Touring around the Nürburgring GP! | EXCLUSIVE FIRST DRIVE

[@jasonsong86]

Gotta say "Stig" has got that Tiff Needell vibes going. Very critical and precise delivery of how the vehicle drives and he can drive it well too.

[@zedfender9423]

I agree . Top gear should get ben, chris and Johny Smith and id be watching again oh yeah tiff as the stig.... Or must make us think its tiff.

[@neelparmar6690]

Exactly what I’d want from two former racing drivers

[@westsiyed]

I agree

[@lorka111]

Stig is much better thsn Tiff.

[@markcarter9476]

Comparing Ben to Tiff is a serious insult to the man, he displays none of the Tiff arrogance.

[@a7a416]

Please do more of these car reviews with the stig realy enjoying to watch

[@craigmcmeechan5899]

No wonder they made him keep that helmet on all those years.. worried he'd present better than they do

[@craigsampson3386]

Makes one wonder how the dynamic of 4 presenters would have turned out if he joined the team 🤔

[@turbovette2020]

I remember how triggered the other 3 got when the Stig wrote his book. They were on mega bucks and slagging the Stig off for his side-hustle. Pathetic. I reckon the Stig would have been better than Richard as a presenter and had less crashes...

[@rscholey85]

So if he did top gear now people would watch it like they used to ? Sure they would 😂 last one I watched was with Chris evans 10 mins in thought not for me never watched it again never missed an episode with the original or grand tour although that took a while to get used to 😂

[@ramonblackz7020]

He's Great and he would've been a Great Addition but don't play with those 3 Top Tier Car Presenters that ain no Joke he did a Great Job and is doing a Great Job here as well but not those 3 smh

Ah the Nürburgring. Should have asked James May if he wanted to come along. He LOVES that place! 😂

I thought he was wearing the Wolfgang dress.

[@ekmschaefchen]

this is the GP track though, not the part from the 1920s which james loves so dearly

[@Ganiscol]

This is not the Nordschleife. And May only dislikes it because it is used as the benchmark by all automakers, to which they tune their sports/super/duper/hyper cars. Any other track and he would hate that - he is Mista Slowly after all...😅

[@andybennett1133]

[@callumhoskins4028]

Ben’s an absolute natural to presenting, deserves his own tv show

[@JonathanDerrett]

Really enjoyed this and almost felt as though we saw a new side of Ben. Really entertaining to watch and we all know his driving skills are up there with the best. Would love to see more of him 👍👍

[@mgcharoudin]

This is awesome! But is it as awesome as our lap(s) in the E61 over the Nordschleife? Hoping to find out soon! :D

[@Ewok_Nz]

Oh boy

[@JurisKankalis]

At this moment, STIG is the most serious of the former trio (well, in that case - quattro) and his driving impressions are probably the most noteworthy of the whole tr.. quattro for anyone interested not so much in the personality - but in the car actually being reviewed. Well done, greetings from Latvia. I might have misspelled the italian word for "four".

[@ConnorHammond]

Wow, Ben's delivery and the cinematography were insane. Also, the fact that you could incorporate the DT M5, very poetic story-telling. More people need to see this!

[@jonahosterried7832]

ill probably speak for everyone if i say "we want more of these Videos". Great work by the Video creator/editor and the "stig". Great Video

[@bomberex7809]

Jesus the editing and transitions in that intro were beautiful.

[@darpa.9018]

Man how I love that the stig lives on

[@-TJ-]

Once again, Ben does a great job at driving and conveying his experience. Really impressive production quality too, felt like a Top Gear / Grand Tour film.

[@XIXjlo]

That car just became even more interesting now that Bens reviewed it. I wish I could drive like this man, it would be more enjoyable to own a car like the M3 if you have the skills to drive it fast.

[@benbrandt3]

Outstanding presenter; I could listen to The Stig review cars all day.

[@bradwhite5884]

A lovely video, thanks Ben and the team who brought this beautiful gem of a video, hope to see more tbh

[@brianpercival1829]

Fantastic car. Always great to see Stig again on Drivetribe. 'Some say, he eats spaghetti with needle nose pliers.'

[@cepheus7850]

The Stig's car tests, Hammond and or May driving or building something while telling a story, that's all this channel needs really. 👍 I wonder if Ben ever bought that Delta he wanted from the last video.

[@Bmontepeque11]

I think the G80/G82's driving dynamics are great, but the only way on the which I could forget about that face is by having those dynamics in the greatness of an M3 Touring ❤️ (If I could buy one I would still look for a better front body kit but yeah!)

[@MonkRX]

Ben Collins is an excellent presenter. This also has excellent cinematography, absolutely top notch for a KZbin production. Great work, team.

[@Kylirr]

That b-roll montage at the beginning was so beautifully slick.

[@benjaminmazanka4354]

I cannot miss any of videos with Ben, because unlike most journalists who push only on straights, he pushes the car in the corners. Proper testing.

[@ShogunsDojo]

I know it said paid promotion but I almost forgot that it was an ad, not that I’m complaining. No lies we’re told and we got to see Wolfgang drive off towards the horizon. The lack of any kind of criticism was distracting which was why I remembered.

[@Horizontally.Opposed]

Ben Collins needs to be a regular member of the crew! Amazing in every aspect.

[@Ganiscol]

I wonder if Drivetribe ever realizes what a gem they still have at their hands and starts using its sparkle to lift this channel to another level. If the old guys cant be bothered anymore to regularly do these "Top Gear" things, let Ben do it! Now, I dont know how expensive it would be to get interesting cars to test drive them (doesnt have to be on a race track - speaking of which, what happened to the plans to secure a track for Drivetribe?), but this is the type of content many if not most subscribers want to see. But one day some show will hire Ben and thats when the jewel will be gone...

[@rg6982]

I agree with the Stig! BMW smashed it out the park with this new M3 estate!

[@brandonchism6960]

As one of those people who fell in love with the E9X, C63, and Audi RS4 based on the Top Gear vid pitting them against one another, this was epic to watch!!! More of The Stig please!!!

[@AndyWoodger]

@drivetribe It's great seeing the the likes of "Stig" playing with cars like this, but it's also a bit scary that there will be "ordinary" people driving this car with 500hp available. Ben Collins makes this car dance on the track, I do hope "ordinary" people will be careful!!

[@Mr.Mouse1234]

This feels like a top gear or grand tour car review. Really well done

Amazing car, we saw you on the show and Jamie Oliver was the star, first show after Christmas and it snowed in the night so i thought it would be cancelled, but by the time they started filming it was just very wet, we were the first people to see Hammond accident in the jet car before the show went out on Sunday night, what a day and what memories, iv just got my new 340i tourer and love it, maybe one day i might be able to afford the m3 tourer 🙏, i used to race karts with lewis, do you do track instructing as i would love you to teach me, you were the best STIG WELL DONE 👏

Missed opportunity. Arrived on track in an E61 M5 and didn’t do a head to head comparison. Ben’s a really down to earth bloke but that really missed the mark

I've found that as a Yank, living in the American Midwest, that people purchase BMWs purely as a status symbol. I have hardly seen a "M" badge on any BMW which I encounter. Me, if I had the money and money for maintenance, I'd have a M series BMW. I liked that yellow M6 they brought out a few years ago.
