Selling the F80 M3 Taxi!? Why do I do this to myself?!

[@Max-Emig]

Been a minute since the last M3 lap. ;) Thank you very much for meeting you today, it was truly a pleasure. Best wishes and many more (M3) laps to come this year! 😁

[@RobertMitchell]

Thanks Max! Good to see you and next time I hope we can do a taxi lap together :-). Hope you enjoyed the 3rs!!!

[@Max-Emig]

Thanks a lot! The 3RS was awesome, the sound and the grip level is fantastic. I’d really enjoy a lap with you, I’ll just add this to the email before I book the next lap. Track day or however it’ll be possible!

[@cadenmilo8652]

not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend lately =)

@Caden Milo yup, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :)

Misha Rimac ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG

[@nunyabinis]

Robert needs to win the free Mercedes from Hoovies Garage, and bring it back to the 'ring!

[@yearlongpower]

That m3 is a piece of Nurburgring history now if you ask me

[@musiccreator18]

it's such an iconic car for apex i would be sad to see it leave i think it should stay forever

[@JoeAchilles1]

Coming out in 4 weeks, can I film a video on it before it goes 😉🎥🎬

[@RobertMitchell]

We’ll see if it’s still around by then :-)

[@jaythe2nd38]

You buying it Joe??

[@JoeAchilles1]

@@jaythe2nd38 haha I wish!

[@SamAustin]

Thumbs up for this happening! 👍

[@robertstarczewski]

Had a pleasure of being a passenger in July 2020, it was my first ever lap on the ring and I loved it, I am still to do a lap as a driver, but then I was 6 days after collecting my driving license and I figured that it would be better to get more experience, partially it was because my dad wouldn’t let me drive, but once the border is open I am coming!

[@superbecx]

Rent the 218i it's thr best option for first timers on the ring even for experienced drivers

[@marcnobel3938]

You can`t sell a legend! - Cool Video and nice to see Robert doing some content!

[@paulkrapp]

Slow laps in the truck are cool, but we've been waiting for a truly fast lap, wow, thanks!!!!!!!!!!😬👍😀🏎

[@moondawg5]

Damn, that was wicked fast! Almost expected a computer voice to say 'V1' 'Rotate' in some sections

[@alistairl]

Robert! We've missed you!!

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

This is the og taxi! 👌🏻 it was always there 👍🏻 Tom looking relaxt AF on the lap 😋😉

[@パッチェさん-j6n]

Had the experience as a passenger in this car during a taxi lap and it was awesome! We were very lucky as we managed to get in just as they re-opened the track so we had a full clean, rollercoaster ride of a run. Lots of fun and great memories of this car!

[@Mark__A]

Feels like the last video was before covid, good to see you back! 😉 Nice job Tom!

[@bisondacierr]

Damn just seeing Robert arrive in the Schirmer F80, all snugged, in the buckets, harnesses, helmet, the F80 gen interior and dash (one of the best modern designs) and the spartan interior... forget the GT2, the M4 VLN, this must be the greatest car in the barn. Perfect balance beween Clubsport and purpose built race car.

[@RobertMitchell]

Yep, this car is unbelievable. This is why it makes it such a hard decision ;-) haha

[@rodneyyy95]

Welcome back again Robert! The M3 is a cool and special car, and it is always difficult to sell any car especially with the cars that you currently own

[@xynthetic4]

My first ever lap was passenger in this car , safe to say I was not disappointed! This car is something else 👌

[@RobertMitchell]

Hey Jimmy, amazing to hear that you experienced the Nürburgring for the first time in this car! Come and see us again sometime :-)

[@davidofford7002]

I was also a little worried about you. But it is great to see you out in the moment. And with great friends who know you and . . .

[@RobertMitchell]

❤️

[@georgeg9284]

I was a back seat passenger in this car a few years back and was hands down THE most insane experience I've had. The grip, the speed, the noise and the capability is just surreal. Please don't let it go! At least until I've had another go!

[@darjanator]

I remember this car from when it was still just a glimmer of a dream in Robert's eye. He kept talking about how he's gonna have the first and only 4 bucket full caged taxi on the 'ring and then it actually happened. Sorry to hear you're thinking about selling it, but that just means there's still years more of content on the channel about it to come. ;)

[@MrTrev69]

I was wondering where you were and it's good to see you back Robert. Keep the OG Apex taxi 😉

[@scalecrawlnl]

Thank you! The mechanical sounds this M3 makes are just magnificent and awesome to have you back Robert, love to see more Ring action in the coming months ✌

[@RobertMitchell]

My pleasure; glad you enjoyed!!

[@TheTsunamijuan]

Man, that transmission noise is wonderful :) this lap reminded me how much i miss my infiniti and driving mountain roads.

[@davidfreeman4407]

That car is an icon and looks so good to drive and it sounds epic. But the big one is the smile on your face, that makes the car priceless!

[@oyabun-Siddi]

Man i love this car! i went out in it when it wasn't fully schirmer build and when it was! what an amazing experience to get to compare the two builds! I personally would be very very sad to see it leave the fleet.

[@RobertMitchell]

Glad you enjoyed it, it would be sad to see it go. Awesome to hear you had both laps in it!

[@oyabun-Siddi]

@@RobertMitchell this car truly holds a special (apex) place in my hart. The first time we went out in it is quite a story but to keep it short, The way we encountered this lap and the service around it from you guys when it was "just" a taxi... That's something that made us come back and interact more with you guys when we were there. Coming from the Netherlands, you can assume we've been around quite often haha 😄

[@clifbradley]

At the 'beginning' of the lap, that whine reminds me of a TIE fighter in Star Wars. But you know...a Tier One Media TIE Fighter and not the standard Imperial ones. Like an Incom derived version of the fighter for all my Star Wars nerds like me.

[@understeer_in_oversteer_out]

I like how Tom casually put his feet on the ground when you drove that quick lol

[@hormahfill2230]

Super late to comment, will miss the car so much if it leaves! Was watching it come together in Misha's vlogs, and it's almost like a part of what makes apex special are cars like this. While I may never be able to come to Germany to see the car in person, there will always be a bit of me that hopes it stays. It it does go, I hope it will get used, even if it's only on track days.

[@RobertMitchell]

Hey man, yeah it's great that so many people enjoyed watching us build the car and get it to where it is today. I hope one day that you're able to come to the Nurburgring and if I still have the car you'll be able to see it for yourself. Thanks for watching my videos and for being part of this journey with us :-)

[@frankvermeulen4621]

Welcome back, Robert. That is a monster of a car, and I hope to get a lap in it as a passenger, some day (don't sell it). :-)

[@teabagg1178]

It's only been 2 weeks since the last upload, but it feels like months

[@kyleb5518]

10 minutes ago i was thinking i hadnt had a notification for a while, went to click on the channel as a notification appeared

[@JamalPennant]

I like Roberts " takin it easy", means passing any car in front with ease😅 A great drive and build.

[@Xtremepower21]

I had a lap in it back in 2018 i think, with Moritz and a friend of mine :D , it was amazing how strong a car can brake and go around the corners, and all the compressions.

[@unal3266]

Nice to see you again :) and good night

[@RobertMitchell]

You too ünal!

[@TheRichardmintern]

Good to see your back . Thanks Robert.

[@bkdore]

It sounds to me like you don't need fewer cars, you just need another garage.

[@davidsmall7676]

So glad to see Robert again. I was concerned that he got caught in Florida like Shmee did. 🤔 I don’t believe Selling any of the fleet will be impossible because you have such a great set of Nurburgring competent vehicles. Maybe some of the staff can buy a couple and will stay close.... Thanks Tom and Misha for prodding Robert!

[@RobertMitchell]

I think so too! I have a lot of really great cars that work really well on track. I'm still aiming for the ultimate four car garage so I can really learn the cars and exploit them to their full potential. I think that will be really cool :-)

[@davidsmall7676]

@@RobertMitchell I am willing to purchase one of your cars if you will take $30 per week for the foreseeable future so when I finally make it there I will have a car to drive and learn in. 👏🏻

[@jhill92]

I love your bmw content, it hypes me up for my F30, currently putting down 460hp. When I've finished the suspension, I hope to do a couple laps (probably gonna book an instructor). So seeing you and Misha do videos on this masterpiece M3, the M2 or even the 218, really gets me excited for my own car!

[@zebra3519]

I can feel a ripple in the force. Ah, Robert I can sense you. There can be only 1Tier.

[@AirbagClub]

Great video Robert, loved the lap. Glad to see the car back on E88s now that it's not being used as a taxi anymore..

[@Szlejer]

A most clever ploy to up the price! :D

[@slcncr]

For me as a Viewer who can only watch the videos, what makes this Car so special is the sound. Proper racecar, completely different to a stock M3. Yeah, i wouldn`t want to take it for a longer road trip, but for the track, it is perfect.

[@birelboy1]

Was fortunate to get a taxi lap on the combined lay out last summer in the M3. Was a great experience. That car hooked like crazy that was amazing to feel.

[@RobertMitchell]

Couldn't agree more; it feels great! Happy to hear you took a lap in it!

[@JP516]

this was pretty epic ! I felt that car with you !

[@themotorsportarchives]

i find it funny that is has the extended leather dashboard haha

[@RobertMitchell]

Don't forget the privacy blinds in the back as well haha

[@rayanrabbani3304]

Welcome back Robert! Missed your videos!

Especially for a US Trip or Europe trips to other Tracks this car Would be Amazing if you and your Friends can be all in one car and enjoy it together...

[@frederikjacob1985]

Finally Robert is back!

[@tonybrider]

Definitely one of a kind f80m3. Was lucky enough to go for a lap with Tim 2 years ago. Was Definitely a once in a lifetime experience, the car is unbelievable, the grip and speed was mind blowing for us nurburgring amateurs. 😆

[@brucelynn]

That was an amazing lap. I can appreciate why you'd want to keep the car.

[@rjnation5042]

Cheers guys for making Robert put a story up about a very special car, if you don't have to sell it keep it, simple, as always thanks, Rj in Oz

Loved watching Robert’s face light up talking about the M3 👌 What can you say 🤷‍♂️ It’s a pretty damn special machine.

[@andrewsangster330]

This makes me miss my f80 m3 so bad! If you guys do sell this and the buyer backs out I’m in North America and would love this car!

[@InitialDAmine]

Smart way to make a car desirable and advertise it, but at the same time it is such a wonderful car and experience and part of the Apex image, it would be sad to see go but I can totally relay if it is not used for it purpose. Such an awsome car

[@RobertMitchell]

I totally agree, seeing this car go would be very sad indeed. It's hard when your head tells you one thing in your heart tells you another! haha

[@InitialDAmine]

@@RobertMitchell I totally agree, sad to see it go and hopefully I'll get the opportunity to at least set in the passenger seat at least once before it goes annd pay for the lap, I don't mind doing the 7hrs drive to the Nurburgring enjoy the lap and hit the road back 7h back to France. It is such an iconic car for Apex

Perfect Ring tool.

Let go of the car Robert, let go of the caaaarrrr (whimpering)! I am kidding ... don't let it go :)! It is an awesome car, definitely worth keeping and enjoying! Damn, I enjoy the filmed laps so much that I almost get cramps in my feet ... and I have not been riding in it yet :)))!

[@MrE30]

Evening Robert, Tom and Misha, I’ve missed the sound of the M3 taxi. It is a hard decision Robert for you to make.

[@user-oi1we1dp7o]

I enjoyed the M3 lap very much thank you for that. But I like the M4 Shirmer more...I think...

[@charlesmartin6967]

It's going to be a very hard decision to sell that car. It's one of the kind design and one of the OGs and the model car of the Apex taxi fleet. It will definitely be missed if it goes. Hopefully I can get a close up photo of it before Robert decides to sell it. Great video and welcome back Robert!!

[@RonaldSic58]

That's some #tierone car... and you can fit four people in it 😯💪🏻✊🏻

[@Clarkyclarke1]

This was such cool vid well done Tom brilliant idea. I hope you don’t ever sell it Robert, I feel so lucky that I’ve been round in you’re M3 it blew my mind and terrified the mrs at the same time. And to be driven round by ice cold himself made my year. 👌🏻🤟🏻

[@dJcoolK]

noooooo, I wanted to make some pictures with it last Sunday with my m3 and forgot..... this car is apex for me. had so much fun in this car last year

[@powerpulls7363]

You can’t sell the taxi, it’s part of Apex History and is so awesome.

[@RobertMitchell]

It definitely is a piece of history! It's such a hard decision for me…

[@powerpulls7363]

@@RobertMitchell I know I’m not in your position with so many lovely cars to pick from however I see Apex as a groundbreaking business which connects with its customers and followers in a way others have never done before. One iconic thing about Apex is the taxi service and the fact the M3 has been a massive part of the success story that is your business I feel it’s only right to keep it. On top of that I never expected Apex to stop doing taxi laps so always planned some time to ride in it, I’d love the opportunity to do so on a trackday when we’re allowed to travel. Keep it, find it it’s own special storage location and bring it out for special events or family fun days. 👍

[@LeopardLX]

That's pretty good sound for an S55 engine! Is it because the car is stripped and insulation removed or do you have exhaust mods as well?

[@dsman2968]

Even we with "shit cars" have the same delima....Once we get into our favorite cars, it is always a bit difficult to let go.

[@joncooper253]

@tom how many peeps have you strapped in that car. I’ll never forget my lap with the girls in the back. @robertmitchell it needs to go in a museum, please never sell. @timmorley is the only one who should buy - it’s Apex history and got you where you along way along the road in 2019.

[@Richard_Turner]

Robert says I need to thin the fleet.. usually means another car is incoming 🤣🤣 honestly though I think this is one you would regret selling

[@RobertMitchell]

This is exactly what it means. But there is no thinking just more cars 🤣

[@Richard_Turner]

@@RobertMitchell was thinking about it and the way I'd look at is this, say you had major regrets over selling the Pista, you could locate another one, same goes for the 675s, even 620r, but the M3 taxi is a bit of a unicorn, yes you could get another one built but it wouldn't be THE M3 Taxi, almost be like a replica. If you have the space I'd keep it around, and hopefully one day 4 people can go in a car again 🙏

[@damworm1]

keep it!!

[@wilseph1]

Robert is back!

[@Richardinho030]

I wouldn’t sell it. That M3 is such an epic build AND it is thé Apex car! Plus it looks damn good with the E30 together! If you want to lower the car fleet, why not the M4 race car? I never see a vid of that car driving.

[@superbecx]

Oh , Robert actually sending it ...

[@guypascua8848]

That's too easy! How do you keep Robert from selling a car? Tom, "Robert! Make a video in xx car!" Robert thinking, "I'm weak! Damn you Tom!" Me thinking, "I Love the Car, after Tom's tour, Nope, no insulation, Arizona Heat Gonna Kill Me!" LOL There is something soothing about the sounds of a well tuned car going full send. My vote to keep every vehicle and make more videos! Thank You!

GG Tom Stamp 👍

[@80wolfmanrob]

I'd like to see a video of you driving while having two people in the back trying to work. They could be trying to put something together or trying to hold a meeting over facetime. Think it would funniest with two females who have never been on track. Good to have you back posting we know your busy put don't forget your fans we are tier ONE after all.

[@GrabberSmurf]

I loved the f80 m3 before but wow can that puppy move! That would not be a bad car to have as a track & daily combo with a full interior

[@GrabberSmurf]

Just out of curiosity does the car rub its tires on the fenders when driving...I was picking up a noise but wasn't sure if it was transmission whine or a rub.

[@syedrehanfida]

I want a video about gear ratios. Is it possible to change it once the car leaves the factory? Video games make it so easy just to change a number, I want to know how it translates to real life...

[@chewdoobautomotivedetailtm2883]

Very special car. That's a specific built by a race team made for that track. That's deff 300,000.00 dollar build. Never mind sentimental value ..

[@hamzasherazi9334]

O am I happy to see Robert, Tom and the M3 after what feels like decades. I highly doubt Robert will be able to sell that thing. It's just that special. The classic car guy dilemma where you try to justify selling some of your cars but it's just not a thing. It's too hard to let go of a car let alone cars as special as yours.
