I BOUGHT AN E46 M3 LEMON... LET'S FIX IT!
You know that saying 'if it seems too good to be true, it probably is?' - well, that's exactly what happened to me when I recently bought an E46 M3. After brake failure on the drive home and clearly a dodgy MOT, we get the car in the workshop and set about fixing it.

For the last few years I've raced part time in rallycross, however in 2024 Dad decided to build a car of his own and we're going racing together for the first time. It's time to race at our home circuit of Lydden Hill to see which Brooks is faster! #racecar #rallycross #motorsport I hope you enjoy this video.

My mate convinced me to buy an old BMW 840Ci E31... So what's it like? | Feat. James Whitham
มุมมอง 2.5K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
About a year ago I was chatting to a mate of mine, James Whitham, at Cadwell Park and he convinced me spending some money on a 1997 BMW 840Ci E31 coupe was a good idea. So I did - but what's it like some 27 years after it was built and does it still stand the test of time today? #bmw #e31 #840ci Facebook: tombrooksmedia Twitter: TomBrooksComms Instagram: t...

I've always wondered if you need to spend obscene amounts of money to get out on track on a motorbike. So when the opportunity came up to buy a 2004 Suzuki GSX-R 750 for less than £1500, I snapped up the opportunity and decided to bring it to Lydden Hill and get ex-BSB racer and current Endurance World Championship rider, Tom Ward, to give it a thrashing.
