I only really knew about the 'smart and safe' placement of the roof Motor... Cheers!

@@AshwithYepuri-z5x Thanks a lot for the Feedback! I honestly appreciate it🙏 Yeah, that was kind of an issue making this video... The suction cup stuff is a great option. But I feel like it would be hard to see like the actual driving. Before filming, I was thinking quite a bit about how i could actually Film this and didn't have anything already available. But I will definetly get something if I keep making Videos like this... I actually thought about getting some kind of Action camera and mounting it to my motorcyle helmet 😂 that would be like the safest way becauese i never have to worry about anything being in the frame. But those aren't really cheap :/

@@beam.studios Jo, my man! It's been quite a while... How are you bro? Thanks a lot! But it most definetly didn't feel professional hahah Was just driving around and struggled a bit with filming in the meantime. But it was fun for sure

@@MrPista i think maybe you should those strapons where revivewers strap the camera to the heads , i thought you used it but just in case if you did not and yeah sorry i havent talked in a while im just going through a bad phase right now i had an argument with my best friend some time ago and we havent talked for months now im just trying to just be fine. i have a lot of insecurities and she was the only one who made me feel like someone understood me and loved me yet i hurt her and spoilt it.

@@beam.studios Oh man... I'm sorry for you my guy. Only tips I could give you are to get busy getting your mind and focus into something and to hit the gym or work out at home. There isn't much you can do apart from moving on. Sounds tough of course, but that's the only thing I can tell you... I just held my phone driving hahah Don't have any kind of head strap yet nor a camera I can put on there...

@@MrPista ohh that sounds so uncomfortable lol, you should def get one if you plan to do more of these and thanks.

@@beam.studios Yeah no worries. Just keep looking forward and try to stop ovethinking the past... Oh it was so bad hahah. Driving with one Hand while trying to get not just shitty camera Angles Was difficult. Especially doing it the 1st time An option i'm also thinking about is getting an Action camera for my motorcyle helmet 🤪 but I'll still give me some time to think about it

@@alexmercer8042 oh wow! Seems like your a very classy gentleman, good sir. It's nice to hear from 1st hand experience that the E32 is actually noticably more solid than the E34👍 So thanks for sharing your expenrience and I wish you many more wonderful years with your 7 series🙏

@@petethebeat48 Alright, I get your point of course. But cheap is relative here, because no first car is Cheap to insure. But when it costs like nearly 1k to insure an older Civic or sth, a 3.0 tdi A5 for 1.5k a year in insurance isn't too bad (but obviously still expensive) And most of the time, your should insure your first car through your parents... That's a lot cheaper in general... And 10s 0-60 isn't really fast... A 2014 Corolla does it in 9,7 so I don't think that matters to be honest. Though I might be wrong here, idk🤷‍♂️

@@wario4794 Yes! The E39 really is an amazing car and quite solid as well. Honestly, I actually prefer them over the E38 becauese they are quicker and easier to find with a manual. I actually made a video ob those too haha So if you wanna check it out, you can find it on my chanal Page 👀 th-cam.com/video/7yGBgJ93O3w/w-d-xo.html (no idea if links work in the Comment section lol)

@@MrPista Genau! Das Auto ist wirklich der Hammer! Danke nochmals für das Video. I speak German too (I’m living here in Germany for 27 years), but I’m from L.A., so it’s easier to speak English.

@@andremarselous you're more than welcome! Ok, interesting... Why did you move from LA to Munich though?

@@MrPista I’m a singer, and I was doing a show in Hollywood and I met a woman from Innsbruck, Austria. After the show, she stayed with me in L.A. for a couple of weeks. When she left, she invited me to come and stay with her in Austria. I intended on staying 3 months, but when I did a show in Munich, I liked it so much that I decided to move there. I’ve also lived in Frankfurt, but eventually moved back to Munich and I’ve been here ever since. Now I have an 11 year old daughter here, so I’m not going anywhere.😉

@@andremarselous That's quite the adventure hahah That honestly is a pretty nice Story and I'm sure it was quite interesting to get to live in such different places. I only ever was in Munich once. But we just drove through there on a Trip to Austria. And it was beautiful... But the best Part about Munich I think, is the landscape and Nature around it, because it's all so close but so different

@@guy-gb6md to be honest, idrk... That depends on a heck load of stuff. Best Option would probably be to insure it through your parents I guess, as insuring your first car in your Name is damn expensive. I mean, I just turned 18 like 1 and 1/2 months ago and my parents gifted me a kind of family insurance policy. So I can drive all cars in my family circle (even Cousins and Grandparants cars that are insured by different companies) for like 400€ a year👀 Sadly it only Covers cars up to 20 years of age... So I can drive 3 cars and the other 7 or 8 not🥲 So that example also wouldn't work for your case with a Miata🤷‍♂️ So I suggest you to talk to your parents about it and just do more Research fitting your situation, yk?

@@MrPista thanks a lot was thinking of insuring through my parents and not pay a ridiculous price (thanks man appreciate also just subbed)

@@guy-gb6md no worries my guy, glad I could help you! And thanks a lot for the Sub! I really appreciate it 🤝

@@steezye3945 sounds like a fairly pleasing ownership experience haha No issues to need rocket science for, at least 😂 But I'm really glad it's worth the extra effort for you! And that you get your E39 the love and appreciation it deserves 🤝

How expensive are they to maintain?

@@Birl well, it depends. There are some rather common quirks they can have (some cheaper than others) and there is a lot of age related maintnance that comes up at some point in time. So stuff like bushings or seals can just get Bad over the years. So if you get a well maintained one, you will save yourself a lot of money and time (if they were kept up with maintnance). But if you get yourself one in Bad condition, it can get really expensive if you're unlucky...

@@billsgotacamera3411 to be honest, I have thought about that too when making this video... But I just don't really like the 430 as much. And the New ones Lack a bit of the caracter the old ones had, in my opinion at least... So I didn't really want to deep dive into them, yk?

@@karimhakimi6752 then you made a great choice hahaha It really is a incredible car! But like not a single car company these days makes anything like it anymore. And I don't really understand why either...

@@gayden4669 well, I get your point, but I would actually disagree with you. They are an amazing first car for sure. But I don't think that there is a single best 1st car... Depends on driving skills, needs and or purpose (like trunk size or sth), how much someone likes cars and so on...

@@mathieu9626 Yeah,you're right. So what you're saying is to give it 5.000+ to avoid barely being able to accelerate🥸 Just kidding, obviously.

@@elytus8245 also in Deutschland ist Winter ja sowieso "relativ" haha Aber mit guten Winter Reifen und einiger maßen vorsichtiger Fahrweise (wie mit jedem Auto im Winter) sollte man gut klar kommen. Man muss aber trotzdem im Kopf behalten dass es eben ein sportliches Auto ist! Sicherheit ist leider kompliziert mit dem MX-5. Alt, klein, leicht... und somit im Falle eines Unfalls weniger schützend (ältere Autos sind häufig so, schon allein wegen Sicherheitsstandards zur Herstellungszeit). Und da die Karre einfach was kleiner ist, kann man für andere schlechter sichtbar sein. Demnach sollte man defensiv fahren, wie man es auch in der Fahrschule lernt, nh? Also das sollte alles kein Problem wirkliches Problem werden, aber man sollte bedenken dass der Wagen eher für Freude mit Budget entwickelt wurde. Also muss man allgemein etwas achtsamer sein beim Fahren. Hoffe ich konnte dir weiter helfen!

@@MrPista Ja aber sicher! Besitzt du dieses Auto selber oder woher kommt dein wissen xd?

@@elytus8245 Leider nein... Aber hab halt viel recherchiert und auch nach solchen Themen wie fahren im Schnee einiges rum geguckt.

@@MrPista it only had one owner. I find it on the internet, it was a bit expensive (18.500€) but it like brand new. And the low mileage was worth the price.

@@maverickslb80 Honestly, that price would be too much for me personally. But as long as you love and enjoy it, you made a good decision! And btw, a Z4 in such great condition probably won't lose much value anyways...

To be honest, I don't really get what you mean 👀

@@stephenEs3532 I mean, yes. BUT the A5 Looks better I think👀 And basically the A4 is just more practical ... The rest is essentially the same hahah Why so you think the A4 is better? I'm genuenly curious now

@@joeyschmidt7546 I definitly get your point, that's for sure. But someone looking for a nearly immaculate used car is most likely not gonna expect to find something with 5k... So this video is more aimed at the enthusiasts that want to work on their car themselves and can't or don't want to spend too much, you know?

@@MrPista yes i agree with you. i got a super deal on mine from a rich guy in south florida for $6,700 he had 20 super cars and needed the room for another and this was his wifes grocery car basically and had souped it up big time but i got super lucky finding this cash deal and this was before covid happened and he had replaced the timing/water pump and all maintenance records/upgrades. you also want to make sure the timing chain/belt has been replaced at 70k i find on the newer models you will see all of them for sale at 70k ish miles because they are avoiding replacing the maintenance of the timing belt trying to sell it to an unsuspecting buyer who are not educated on german cars, not realizing it costs 4-7k to pay a shop to do it. but for the price the mk1 tt is one of the cheapest entry sports cars. but it needs to have been taken care of at least half way or it can be a nightmare. i have still spent upwards of 10k in maintenance in 5 years and mine never missed a service.

@@timothydowd4180 well, if you ask me, I really think they are a great option! And depending on where you live, 6k should put you into a quite decent one...

@@MrPista thanks. My plan was to use an E39 BMW 5 series as a enthusiast practical daily driver for errands and taking my dog and parents around when needed and then use my MB SL more as a fun weekend sports car. The MB SL is horrid on gasoline and putting miles on it will result in expensive repairs down the line. So i wanted the fuel efficient e39 525i … im not into acceleration or power on a 5 series… my SL has that.

@@timothydowd4180 then it sounds like it matches your need pretty well! And as long as you get yourself a well looked after example in good condition, you should be very happy with a 525i 👍

I gotta say, I get her point. She worries about your safety... But just as well I understand you wanting a fun cool car. If you get in an accident, it would be tough. BUT that's why you would and actually need to drive more carefully and cautiusly. So that would make you a better driver over time 🤷‍♂️ And as a random idea (idk if it's even possible) but adding a rollcage would really help protecting you a lot in a miata🤔🤔📝 As a Tipp... Don't try to convince her by telling her you can just drive save. Convince her by teeling exactley how you will be safe in a definitle matter. Yk what I mean?

@@MrPista yea, she also doesn't want me driving manual for some odd reason (I believe it was "you'll be too focused on that, not the road..."

@@Mel12722 that Argument about roads focus is not great I feel like... Even though I guess I understand her thought. 🤔 Driving a manual, you have to focus more on the road than in an automatic car. Becauese you gotta Look ahead and think about where to drive at what speed in which gear. Also you will be so used to changing gears that you don't need to Look away from the roads or anything at all🧐 At least that's how I'm driving haha In Germany, as I'm 17, I can only drive in Company of my parents. In my dads manual car, I have a feeling for how fast I'm going and need to put more thought into reacting to what's ahead of me and when to shift to be at whatever needed speed... In my mums automatic car, I hardly get a feel for which gear I'm even in and feel less concentrated driving it. To be fair, I have way more seat time in my dads car and I'm biased becauese I think manuals are also way more fun to drive... But I still stand for what I said And apart from that, I feel more Comfortable driving a manual, especially at lower speeds and parking, becauese I have more Precise control using the clutch (instead of waiting for what the car decides to do with it's clutch in an automatic)
