I always knew about the Nurburgring, but for this Australian, I always think of Sabine Sshmitz hooning around in a Van trying to beat 10 minutes... that episode of Top Gear was when I found out that the Ring was a public road that was still open and used in the way it is. So the Nurburgring to me is Sabine Schmidz... RIP Sabine.

Vids like this are the reason I love this channel. They're not flashy or over produced. Just a raw upload straight from the sd 👍

You have to admit that swap of the full screen camera from interior to exterior was a bit of Hollywood 🤣🤣🤣. Glad you appreciate the planned simplicity too

5:55: fun fact: in the 1990s I lived in Nürnberg. Happened a few times, that I met people from UK and US asking me kindly where to find the 'Nürnbergring' 😊 Keep on doing your things Misha and Robert, within all the years it's been always exciting following you.

Finally!!!! Such a beautiful car

[@andreiiordache5429]

Robert, you literally have the "kid-with-new-and-exciting-toy" face :))). You can really tell how much you are enjoying the car and you passed on the vibe but also the nostalgia as I got carried away into remembering a 19 year old boy, having a blast in his Golf GTI MK3 (loved that car and ... by the looks of it, I still do :), although it is long gone). Btw, one other thing that came to my mind watching the video is that you would make the perfect (retro) car commercial for BMW, with the "sheer driving pleasure" slogan :). Man, it does feel like we will never go back to this simpler times of being able to enjoy a ride, in a cool car, without feeling the need to be the fastest man on earth :P.

[@RobertMitchell]

I’m glad you got to reflect on some fond memories. Really pleased to hear that story!!!!

[@DiesenAlle]

U are so great guys. Thanks for a super presentation of what a “normal” Car in a calm ride can experience. Love your take and felings of the Nürburgring 😊👍🏼

[@NexzyeWoW]

so relaxing and enjoyable to watch and listen, thank you !

[@marcnobel3938]

That was a great entertaining and chilling video in one! Loved to see the M3 cruising down the track.

@Robert Mitchell is the definition of a cool guy. 👌🏻 When Eskimos get warm, they sit beside Robert to get back down to the cool temperatures they're used to. Great video as always guys! 👌🏻

[@davidhunternyc1]

For me the Nurburgring is #1 - The track where Robert Mitchell drove a Porsche GT4RS at 200mph while lovingly admonishing his 4 year old daughter for putting her feet on the dash. I'll never forget this for the rest of my life. (Pullleease, no need to correct the details.) 😆

[@RobertMitchell]

Hehehe that was a really fun lap with her ❤️

[@joaoluistavares6046]

One of the great things is driving. When we get what we expect, that's a great filling and everything is fine.

[@rednelob9951]

Both times I have been to Germany, I loved driving the back "B" roads. The Nurburgring looks like a fantastic rural road without the slow distracted traffic with no chance to pass.

[@mgo95]

What a great conversation. Thanks for sharing✌

[@RobertMitchell]

Thanks for joining in

[@JerainJezza]

I agree: I'm from Belgium and drive the ring now more than 10 years and hundreds of laps: sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes drifting, but never ever have I timed my laps during TF. Still enjoy it most in life after so many years!

Great vid both of you.👌🏻🤟🏻

[@Motown-firefighter]

Hi Robert, wanted to share my story about the Nürburgring. I loved it so mutch, it's now one of my favorite track in the world. It used to be spa. 😀 And exactly what you are doing is what i did the first time. Just feeling the track and road. I did in my BMW 120d M pack. Carbon bleu color and it had a stage 1 tuning. Then Did it for my second time in 9m25.318. i loved it. Also talking too so many People in track and sharing the experience and stories. I have you say thank you for your sharing story on youtube. Real professionals and i enjoy your topics to talk about. Hope we meet one day on track.👍🏽

[@rafaeyalam8299]

Love you guys. Love the content.

[@quicknickdriver8510]

Really pleased for you Robert, thank you for sharing the first lap in your classic M car and your thoughts on the Nordschliefe. I hope to come over when possible and enjoy the track first hand. Hope the E30 continues to please

Nürburgring is a sacred place for me, especially because I can't visit it so often as I'd like to. It's 1000 km in one direction for me, but I love the energy of the place and people.

Excellent video. Captures everything I love about apex & the nürburgring. Going to show this to anyone that asks why doing a lap of the ring is on my bucket list.

Hey guys thanks and it's so good to see that there is another way of enjoying the ring u don't need like gt3 or something super fast u can have even by going slow and u guys shown that every well thanks

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Another perspective. Great to enjoy the beauty of this place. Not the heart pounding little bit nervous experience of a lap record, but in that case you do not really even have a moment to notice this place other than worry if it will kill the driver. Thanks for this perspective.

[@RobertMitchell]

Our pleasure. So many Sides to the Nürburgring

[@renegraff795]

Thanks for taking us on this lap! Slow laps really give you another view on the Ring. Honestly my favourite laps the last years always have been the laps when checking the track was clear again after Rad am Ring fridays time trials. Sounds weird but driving slow shows you how much elevation etc. there really is.

[@andywong5606]

Congratulations on getting your E30 M3 thru TuV! I’m sure you will experience the amazing drivability of the E30 M3. Great video about the Nurburgring community and how the town revolves around the Ring

That was utterly delightful to listen to and watch! Thank you both of you! The important thing is to get what you want driving on a any circuit!

[@wikki11]

For me the Nürburgring is a place where you can breath, see and feel the passion that comes with a car. its not only about moving from a to b, its about freedom (specially for me as a handicapped) and being able to expierence your own car on a track that were driven by all of your childhood reallife heroes...it´s a special place and you can literally feel it when you are nearby...

Hallo Misha this is the spirit of TF and Nurburgring to have fun !!

[@RobertMitchell]

Yep!!!!!

[@Induleo]

Happy to see the M3 on the ring. Back in 2002, when i got my first car, i went to my first E34 Ringtreffen. I never was a big car guy. The ring changed everything, just as you two discribed, the passion about a common interest is so visible and lived. It's accessible to everyone and you feel that you quickly become part of a big family of car enthusiasts. Together with the E34 car community, the ring has had a its part in adding some "Benzin im Blut".

[@RobertMitchell]

[@997GURU]

Beautifull !

[@PFCKruger]

You made a lot of good points there. For me the Nuerburgring is the safest country road in the world. I can drive free, with mostly no speed limit, and when I overtake someone else I don't have to worry about oncoming traffic. Also if I crash, I can be sure not to end up in a german oak tree but in a friendly peace of armco. Took my sister on al relaxed lap in my old 316i at beginning of march so I really get and like the "just cruising" sentiment. :) Thanks for the nice Video.

[@mrTob-ww7sb]

Very excited to see what mods will follow and how it will affect the enjoyment factor in this car.

[@gidiyi7326]

My mom still has a BMW E30 convertible. I really like that car, but it's getting old and it's getting tricky to get it serviced properly. Especially problems with the roof just take you on a long search for proper service.
