I RACED A DREAM SPEC E46 M3!!

[@JMR120600]

Could listen to that sequential all day, what a machine

[@TomoHawKzZ]

Sound awesome on the move, but when at idle or crawling around service areas they sound like a bag of spanners, always wondering if the fucker is broken 🤣

[@lowrezz]

what a machine and what a drive. Top class racing Dan. Great content as always, keep on keeping on

[@alackofspeed]

One of very few channels where I enjoy watching 50+ minute videos. I find racing at this level entertaining and interesting, as it's far more relatable than the upper echelons of motorsport. Great driving of a similarly superb car. E46 M3 is just so right.

[@nurburgringobsessed5722]

Awesome Dan! Looked so chill whilst driving.. bet you will be a professional paid driver soon, the skill is hard to ignore.. 👌🏻

[@dannyDC2]

Haha no sure about that. But if any teams want videos like this making then it’d be cool to try a few different series

[@nurburgringobsessed5722]

@@dannyDC2 i genuinely would not be surprised if you get approached for a paid drive. Superb content as always man.

[@JackPayne91]

Considering 95% of the BTCC grid pay to drive I’d be surprised. He deserves more sponsors no doubt.

[@TomoHawKzZ]

Maybe if the channel gets the blow up it's been waiting for he will. Happened to Mr.Broadbent, it's more than deserved for Dan.

[@divinasi0n]

​@@TomoHawKzZJimmy has like half a mil subs. Look at James Baldwin. Finished high up in British GT, drove Spa, drives for Merc esports, and can't get a dive anywhere. It's not that easy.

[@Munka1985]

Mega drive Dan, content this year is at another level. You really have talent with content production and driving. Was also nice to finally see your son in this, he is a spitting image of you....

[@PinkGuy120]

Yep, I can see why this car is a dream build for you, damn. Good work on track Dan, doing very well on the racecraft and obviously the driving!

[@D4NDC]

Fantastic drive Dan. The 1:47.04 following the 2nd safety car restart was so smooth... Reminded me of watching the on board pole lap following F1 qualifying where you just get to watch in awe with no interruptions from commentary etc. How good would it be to see you drive that M3 round the ring 😍

[@dannyDC2]

it would be a weapon at the ring for sure, the owner had it there last night!

[@erwinlevasier]

As a trackday driver myself and soon competition driver as well, this channel brings me so much fun, it is so awesome to watch the build up towards a race, all the prep i love it. And your driving skils…………..👍💪🏻👍💪🏻👍💪🏻👍keep on going Danny 💪🏻

[@TomoHawKzZ]

Yeah as a low level competitor (autotest, karting, nav rallies) and someone that used to service for people a lot at races and rallies, the service area/pitlane atmospheres bring a lot of joy and nostalgia. And then the racing brings the buzz (and a slight semi when it goes well).

[@LeeJMcRae]

Jesus, even my my cheeks clenched when you came out of T1 sideways. As always though, cracking stuff! Stoked for you that you got the opportunity to do this too!

[@johnrobertgordon]

Fast hands Danny. Your car control is a joy to watch!

[@simonhewitt9805]

Fantastic stuff Dan ! Your videos now are just superb. Top entertainment, great footage, excellent editing and inciteful commentary. Loved this one, great to see it from your perspective as I was there watching at Cascades. Shame about the slight mishap spoiling the result....but onwards and upwards mate ! 👏👌

[@dannyDC2]

the car felt a bit naughty through Cascades, as with most corners, sort of threading it through

[@Gary_Bocking]

Agreed, top video and I don't think you said bastard once :)

[@rsnissan]

Fair play that was amazing. Nice bit of pedalling considering you just jumped into it.👍

[@icklepob88]

You look at home in that M3, absolutely flawless drive, shame the overall result didn't happen, but hope you get to drive it again.

[@danielcgomez]

MEGA Dan! ...opportunity of a lifetime for sure! ...Congrats on the Fastest Lap, and just the ability to jump into a full blown race car and perform the way you did! ...pity on the Penalty, and the bad luck for James, or for sure you guys would've taken the win! ...I bet loads of teams have you on the radar now!

[@DubSe7en]

Awesome 😎😎 I've done track days for years but never had the nerve to take up racing, it's great to watch someone living the dream. There's a load of vids of my track days and car stuff on my channel 😄

[@tougestylegarage]

It’s super sick to get an offer to race this thing! Just shows that people see your talent!

[@bikerkevv4692]

You deserved that win based on your driving alone .. unbelievable man gutted at the same time for the position..very undeserved.....on that note...now it's time to build your own m3 like this 1 it suits you perfect

[@AutoworksJAL]

Danny lad, that was mega. Had an opportunity and you definitely seized it! Possibly your best drive, drove like a winner for sure. Should be proud of that one. Loved the first safety car exploits. M3 looks a hoot to drive, fast and loose. Class 👌

[@rybackracing8075]

Love that the owner tells you to send it. And you did!

[@oscarzt1652]

27:28 amazing start!

[@bobbybawbager]

Well, that was awesome watching! Fastest lap, too!! Superb!

[@domcharles6052]

What a start to the race dan, first corner was mega there. Good effort

[@laserracer6]

Dan you are a weapon in the right car mate

[@182tev]

Top driving that was. Natural skill right there! Incredible to watch.

[@HidRomail]

It was a brilliant move on that pace car restart! Nice!!!

[@MyRunningJourney]

Fantastic video. That fastest lap was amazing. Great driving Dan, unlucky with the result. Safety car restarts were on point too. 👌

[@skunklebunny2309]

Is that Oxford green? Absolutely beautiful! Way to go Dan!

[@css172]

Brilliant drive Dan!! amazing to watch your driving progression.

[@lcuff5990]

Genuinely one of the best safety car restarts I’ve seen!

[@christopherbeevor9315]

Excited to be home. Watched the first 2 minutes when I was out this morning and decided this needs to be watched air play to the big TV. It’s the least your videos deserve these days Dan 👍🏼

[@dannyDC2]

Yeah I reckon the race videos are always better on tele

[@stevee8920]

Awesome driving Dan, you have a real skill there and you seemed right at home in the M3. Let’s hope you get another chance and you can bring home the win👍🇬🇧

[@erictol]

41:14 Fastest lap of the race, what a lap

[@CJK20]

Such a good video this one! Look forward to these each week.

[@plaguechild]

What an amazing sound! Like the others have said I could listen to that all day.

[@yardspeed13]

Wo-wa-we-waa Top driving Dan. The nerves were palpable when you were sat ready to start, didn't affect the driving though eh? Shame about the Ginetta and the end result. but I guess that's how it goes sometimes. Fair play to James for letting you have a blast in it, maybe earnt another go next time eh? :)

[@maxvel0city906]

What an amazing spec, the sequential has got to be such a game changer.

[@midnighteightsix6919]

Fck yeah Danny! Really solid driving mate, hope we get to see you pilot this weapon again.

[@andrewgramson7224]

What a car. Great driving Danny.

[@bull7618]

Only getting to this video now. That M3 is an absolute monster in your hands Dan

[@Retrobeemer]

*Wayne at Chip Wizards is the man when comes to mapping M engines.*

[@deathseekeruk]

Great driving Dan!

[@MidasMk1]

How to start a sunday off right, another awesome vid 😊👍

[@andrewcruickshank2093]

Great driving, top marks to James to give you a competitive drive in it. It’s some machine his e46 and looks the bollocks too.

[@VX220ontrack]

Fantastic Dan very pleased for you 🎉

[@Dontchangemyname]

As always your driving is top notch and it’s pretty clear that these teams are not asking you to drive for them to try there cars more because your a proper driver. That bmw is pretty amazing in the right hands.

[@nikb6528]

Congrats, Danny! Such a shame you didnt finish higher up, but oh well, you drove your absolute best!

[@-DC-]

Spikey set up for sure the quality of content is incredible Dan .

[@IOMJCB]

Brilliant video, throughout the whole thing I was just thinking you should turn one of your M3’s into a similar spec, would be a fantastic journey to follow!!!

[@dannyDC2]

I simply would not be able to afford to build something like this

[@PabloConcrete]

​@@dannyDC2What is the ballpark figure for a build like this one? M3 + £50k?

[@TheTechnoaddict]

​@@PabloConcretethe Drenth gearbox alone is probably around 20k😅

[@E46m3racer]

150k

[@PabloConcrete]

@@E46m3racer Sweet Lord! Thanks for the answer!

[@MicronDan]

Well in lad! Some driving.

[@zsracer7830]

You're face throughout this video says it all Living the dream Danny. Well driven you looked focused but relaxedin the car

[@darrena4048]

Quality video. Thanks!

[@koraxi8958]

Yeeaaaah Danny! 5 mins in the video and I'm feeling happy for you. I know it's gonna be a good one👌

[@nicminit]

Absolutely love this channel mate! These longer videos are a proper treat!

[@benripley7596]

So happy for you ,looked like a dream come true kinda 46. great driving as always buddy and FAST

[@ctc3741]

great drive dan.

[@samdodd7671]

Has to be my favourite race video so far. Simply awsome driving.

[@absoluteanorak]

Top top video this lad! Racing at the front suits you well and this M3 is a rocket. Hope you get a regular race seat in this sort of car.

[@mgil1731]

Nice drive man! Color code; BRG 312

[@dannyDC2]

Bingo

[@quicknickdriver8510]

GO ON DAN! excellent racing man.

[@DaveMsport]

I was watching the Irish touring car racing over here last weekend on livestream with my 2 year old daughter. She asks "wheres daddys racecar" in which case I explained we how have to finish making it. Her reply was; "Daddy go vroom vroom in purple car" as in my E46 that's doing the creche runs at the moment 😅 Watching this video hasn't helped to not consider her proposal one bit whatsoever 🙈🙈🙈 Brilliant drive and such a shame ye got unlucky at the end!

[@davidbates247]

Living your best life Danny Lad That M3 got some snot

[@marisbuse8010]

Well done Dan. Could watch this video again and again.

[@kieranbonnie7729]

Only saw part way through the day that this was on at Oulton gutted I didn’t know earlier to come and watch. Looks like some top class driving, in a top goal car, with some racing tactics that I’m sure you’re proud of, along with all the effort it’s taken you in racing and prep up to this point, hats off. Here’s to hopefully plenty more invites to drive in some epic machines in future. Along with people keeping away from crashing into you 😂

[@LaidbackLukee]

so glad you started, that was mad

[@dannyDC2]

haha yeah

[@george_mr2002]

Can tell you was really enjoying that one, good drive dude

[@markc1016]

Great driving Danny. Been watching your videos for many years. Never disappoint!

[@jimmyh1008]

Great video Dan. Top drive mate, really good content. Love these videos. Keep them coming. Good luck at Mallory.

[@davidharris5849]

lovely job dan thanks

[@borisbus4917]

Legend - great video and epic driving Dan. What a car as well.

[@TABRO284]

That was epic.

[@Willyloman1919]

Really well edited video. The race felt very intense, great drive.

[@MrLeccyt]

Great racing there, you did a mega job. Very impressive. Shame the luck changed but overall a real success to finish a tough race.

[@JonathonKing81]

Great drive Danny. Showing what you can do in a very capable machine. In car footage was a mega watch 👍

[@ltnaldoraine2437]

that big grab of oppo on the first corner was mad at race start haha, nice driving danny

[@MaxSilvia69]

What a race danny !! Awesome car and driving !

[@Bondy94]

Top video and top driving as always danny 👍🏁

[@martinc8532]

What a car! Massive shame about the penalty and the timing of it but the car made up for it in my mind. Fastest lap as usual too, making a bit of a habit of this Danny!

[@aaronenglish7968]

Amazing drive danny what a machine, both car and driver!!

[@thev.i.c7844]

ace job matey ,, your just naturally a fast driver simple as 👍💪

[@BkSMedia]

You're an absolute weapon behind the wheel of that M3 Danny. Fantastic drive! Pro gamer strats really coming into their own there.

[@jonnytaney4520]

Very very inpressive dan , steep learning curve and you bossed it . What a car also .. mega video

[@nonsoilmionome97]

One of my favourite vids yet. Incredible racing, the car was mega. Unlucky for the final result

[@FATDAVE3000]

Beautiful drive Dan. Great car. Team deserved a better result. Great vid as always TY.

[@Barr_end]

Mega pedalling in a very special car Mint video as always 👌🏼

[@diavo009]

It sounds absolutely insane! Living the dream Dan.

[@pedroramos4718]

Fantastic race 👌

[@duddsification]

Thanks for the birthday video f****** epic

[@dannyDC2]

happy birthday

[@duddsification]

Thanks man 🤘

[@TheRyanl164]

Absolutely mega race from yourself. That safety car restart leaving such a gap to the Ginetta was great. Shame about the second half of the race.

[@jamesford3549]

Looks like you had a great race for your stint, really cool video. Really enjoy the commentary of your thought processes through safety car restarts etc, you do a really good job of putting viewers into your perspective. Out of interest did you pay to drive, like an arrive and drive set up, or just share the entry fees, or was this free for you to do?

[@SerYil1]

Lovely effort, so sad to see final part but it happens. Enjoyed every bit of this as usual.

[@trevorwoods2580]

Time to build an M3 Danny. Great bit of driving. so disappointing for the way the race ended.

[@dannyDC2]

A lot of brass to race one. I have other plans

[@SuperForestfighter]

Get up Dan! Cracking drive pal! 👌

[@aaronkent76]

These long form race weekends are fun to follow you, I know it’s a lot of work but thank you

[@rockyroad1780]

What an absolute weapon that car is!

[@southney7211]

Great racing there buddy 👍

[@alanrice4557]

Is the ep3 back marker you come past the one you was tinkering with last year.

[@blu73]

that is a well nice car, beautifully presented.. and top drive Dan, good work 👏👏👏

[@Thou1]

Congratulations on your drive, well done! That M3 is as much my dream spec as it is yours, what a machine🤤 Would’ve been good to see some of James driving though, appreciate maybe the footage wasn’t worth it due to safety cars etc. but it would be cool to compare your respective driving styles

[@redblockgarage]

Epic drive Dan! You absolutely ghosted everyone 👻

[@rainman066294]

Great driving 👍🏻
