Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/

[@toddbrown4185]

I don’t think it’s possible for someone to dislike Jimmy. He is one of the most genuinely nice people on this platform

[@raw_fittedz]

I dislike him and his racist ways

[@pavelstucka8150]

@@raw_fittedz how is he racist?

[@LMGLUDA]

@@raw_fittedz the what? racist?

[@ryanb4819]

@raw_fittedz yo I haven't seen what he actually said so I don't know exactly but jimmy made a public apology and in all honesty however long ago that was and whatever he may have said it's all in the past and he's a changed man now, he showed sincere regret for whatever it was that he did and he doesn't deserve anymore negativity even if it's just a small remark such as your comment. jimmy is the farthest thing from racist and nobody should be devious enough to continue hate toward somebody who is clearly not that way.

[@meffycodrin1853]

@@ryanb4819 the fool made a twitter coment when he was like 16 I think and most likely was just a fking joke. People are way too soft nowadays

[@cheesepizza87]

Hope this gets Jimmy the recognition he deserves, most humble down to earth guy, incredibly knowledgeable engineer, takes care of 24 other dudes and makes some of the cleanest builds on youtube. You've got to take a trip to his shop Larry. A lot of love for Poppa Oakes

[@michaelteeter3886]

So weird to hear someone say he needs to get bigger cuz I've been watching him for a good amount of time and think he's popular already but I 100% agree that he needs the recognition he deserves. Crazy collection and so humble👌

[@Hybridesque]

Spoon did a boss job on this.

[@lucianholbrook3966]

Jimmy is such a nice guy. With spoon on the team, you can tell they are heading in the right direction.

[@yashtag7778]

jimmy is going to blow up this year and i cannot wait for it mans deserves all the best

[@Justinhomii]

Blow up his drift car ?

[@MrReson8]

Spoon REALLY killed it on this car. He just said "Jimmy, I got this, let me run with it."

[@indorider]

Larry and Jimmy. Two of the coolest guys on the internet.

[@shifty1927]

"My fabricator, Spoon" ... Thats cool to hear.

[@turbocateyeS475]

Its criminal that Jimmy and Larry both dont have 1 million subscribers! The two nicest, most humble dudes in the car community!

[@coffelt683]

Its really crazy the level of cars Jimmy has at his shop for how comparatively small his channel is. Dude builds better cars than most 1m+ subscriber channels. His first build was a ls1 300zx when he was still a teenager and to see the level of quality for how young he was is really impressive.

[@beukye]

Can’t wait for dj’s episode

@HeroinSniffa stay in the south fucking your family while y’all chase the dragon You cul de sac bald inbred

[@anonimas123456789]

You NEED to go to Jimmy's shop to do a full shop tour, he's shop and cars are sick!

[@christopher5110]

Let’s goooo!!!! The most humble friggen dude! Jimmy and all his friends that is 🙏👍🙌

[@Mvp-Crow]

Love this Cat.. super exceptional guy, been watching James for a while. Him and his crew or one of my favorite groups of people.. love that he got his time in Chen's lens.

[@dariososa3799]

My favorite youtuber atm. Glad to see spoons work got the appreciation it deserves

[@1411MEDIA]

Usually don’t watch Larry Chen videos because mostly JDM content but I’ll give this a view because Jimmy Oaks

[@addicted2fuel245]

Hmmm..isn't Jimmy's videos full of JDM content though??

[@bs666.]

Ironically this car was originally sold in Japan

[@polloxdabollox]

Great video, Larry I would love to see you film Jimmy's collection back at oakes garage, he has so many cool cars

[@DriftHQ]

Superior Chassis 👏

[@Grounded_Light]

Yooo

[@Zip_Tykzoo42087]

Jimmy is my favorite KZbin car guy maybe with Taylor ray as a second. These are up and comers and don’t fucking sleep on the jimmy o channel and t ray! These dudes are sick and really core tuner culture. Love yall

[@tilmykillme]

Upside down M3 sticker that says EW is the best part lolol

[@davidyarbrough2197]

Jimmy is the most humble and deserving guy. He deserves a Larry Chen highlight. He is the next big thing I think.

[@caesarcesareo3984]

That still with with Jimmy being big spoon and Spoon lil spoon is everything . All jokes aside dope vid 10/10

[@Tagiau]

Really wish he would've kept it supercharged, it just sounded so good. Now with a full comp car though, here's to 2023 Jim drifting everything and everywhere.

[@ANDERZENAMG]

GO JIMMY O!!!!

[@dylanwright2548]

Incredible work as always larry🙌🏻, love the vids. Also jimmy is a beast and an amazing person. Much love y'all 🙌🏻💙

[@IDv8I]

Love that dude, thanks for the interview Larry. Such a great group of guys and their passion is contagious.

[@christopher5110]

Super hyped for him an rudnik this year!

[@mrnicekevin]

Larry needs to stop by Jimmy’s shop and check out the 86, that car will deserve a feature once it’s done!

[@Skiridr22]

A vary clean build, I like that the only visible things on the interior is practical for what it does

[@G_Ozare]

Music, cinematography, Jimmy’s car ❤❤❤

[@Mr99gsrteg]

You are the man Larry!

[@fallenbullseye]

BIIIIIG JIMMYOAKES FAN HERE

[@Starbord77]

Jimmy’s red 36 looks so damn good

[@312Jtownn]

Man Larry is so underrated he should be racking lots of likes and views 😭😮‍💨

[@dookieren7430]

I wouldn't know anything about Larry chen, if it wasn't for Ken Block and hoonigan.. R.I.P. Ken, 43, 43ver.

[@joshuagrimshaw5711]

Yeah jimmy!!!

[@sestrella17]

For the Oakes algorithm 🏎

[@_EV36_]

I love that it's still BMW powered instead of JZ/LS swapped

[@bigmike4923]

The song at the start almost felt like a jimny vid, love this car

[@dylandefalco3827]

The Oakes crew has been absolutely killing it lately. Love the entertainment from all of them and the work from Larry! This is awesome.

[@markgoudsblom]

I ducking love Jimmy no homo

[@donaldmokgale3123]

Absolutely love Jimmy, such a chilled dude man!

[@FortyFour-McCoy]

[@rod_sucks]

My boy Jimmy !!

[@RubberneckAutoMedia]

This beat is sick

[@SharkAttackSkinder]

Heck yea Jimmy 🦾

[@TheCeaselessHunger]

Hey Larry and friends! I need some advice. What would be a Larry Approved car in the price range of 20-30k, New off the lot? I'm looking to purchase my first car and would love getting something knowing it has the Larry Stamp Of Approval! Thanks in advanced!

[@domainjester]

DJ's tire marks open the video 🤣

[@DriveSMR]

I'm 7 years in a right hand drive Subaru on North American roads and couldn't be any happier with it. I consider it great advantage to be able to see up the right. Yes, left hand turns can be a scary prospect, but I wait; I have all the time in the world and life is too short to try to run any light regardless of which side I'm on.

[@danfarrell5358]

Outro music. Does anyone know what track that is ?

[@burrrn___]

JIMBOOOOOOOO

[@ralfihl1233]

Hope I get to meet u one day. One of the best hands down. Maybe u can do a clip of my cars one day. We got u on whatever u need from us at phantom auto styling in Florida.

Modern Day Drift Reunion !

[@B_ok140]

Normal bmw in uk or ireland

[@StoicaVladIoan]

Are you guys sure that's an S50?

[@placeholdername3206]

It's a S50B30US for the North American market only. Technically it's just a plain old M50B25 with a bespoke crank and different bore making it a 3 liter, but BMW call's it a S50B30US. S52 is an M52 with an M54B30 crank and a different bore. They are regular 3-series motors for the US market with 240hp that BMW just calls S motors. Dunno why, but the US market got screwed.

[@Sheltur_0311]

do for the oakes

[@bigjoe7343]

whip.

[@bencheesecake8795]

I don't like modded cars but I like that

[@danielbr92]

0:10 why is that m3 upside down

[@matheusferraz474]

Cause its not a real m3, and he didnt want to use the badge as it was

[@Cat-wx5si]

[@Justinhomii]

Needs driver mod badd

[@Justinhomii]

Drift machine of our dreams? You mean Adam’s e36 ?

[@charlieward7606]

way prefer jimmys personally

[@angelhristozov6170]

why no one talks about the engine ? its not s50 its s52

[@Funkyflykiwi]

Lol, was just gona mention that. I dont think Jimmy or Larry are BMW guys.

[@JerainJezza]

It's possible that it's an S50B30US version, similar to the S52.

[@Funkyflykiwi]

@@JerainJezza only possibility i guess.

[@ayesjunandy5435]

Oof (beginning of the license plate) stands for ew (side molding upside down) in Spanish

[@zeenorwood9059]

I think Jimmy doesn't appreciate his pans tbh 🤔

[@Justinhomii]

An ad one minute into the video? …aids

[@DEZ1172]

Great looking build , Well done Jimmy hope it's not to long before you can put the seat time to good use over my side of the pond 😎,Thanks Larry for the constant top teir automotive content
