      Carly are absolute robbing scumbags !! , cant believe you guys are still promoting them , just ask people about there experiences dealing with carly customer services , they are one of the worst thieving scum company out there , seriously don't take my word on this and have a look into it yourselves, people are literally getting money taken from there accounts being robbed and thats after removing all consent for them to do so, and when they do there is no customer services so for the people that have been unfortunate enough to have given this scam company the time of day are left out of pocket and scammed, shame on you guys for being involved with Carly but please do look into this as you guys are in partnership with them at the moment , everyone has been warned !!

      @KIRAjti your absolutely right , it's just a shame people are finding out the hard way after loosing their money and then having to deal with them , i mean anyone right now that has the carly app I would urge them to go into there apps and have a look at what control they have over there account and subscription , the robbing part comes even after people have managed after a massive headache to cancel there subscription money gets taken from the accounts anyway and there is absolutely no chance of getting back , the product is crap anyway , im really surprised channels are Still promoting them as its there family there loyal subscribers that they are lining up to get robbed , that's the sad part

    Chris Harris is one of those people that I could listen to all day because of his ability to convey his passion for cars.
    You guys are on that level too. This increase in volume of content is so exciting to me and even my wife. She'd text me a screenshot of the thumbnail for this video with tons of excited emojis.
    I'm so glad there's a way to financially support what you're all doing now beyond the shop too.
    It's genuinely exciting when we realize that "there's a new Alex video today."
    You all work hard and it's so appreciated. We're all glad to see more content like this. Only thing is... We're gonna get hungry for more. That said, please don't overdo yourselves and feel burnt out, because what you're doing is just such a lovely thing that we'll always wait for more.
    Thank you to you all for everything.
    I look forward to ordering some Auto Alex merch as stocking fillers for the Mrs.

    I own and love an E39 530i manual Touring. It is my only car and I can't say I could think of a better one-car-package. It has all the amenities you need and none you don't. Beautiful steering and some power. Reliable enough to not worry but still "keeps me engaged with the hobby". It can fit 4 people with luggage in comfort on the Autobahn. Its beautiful to look at and gives me a smile every time I walk up to it. Also, I was able to afford buying it and thanks to an LPG conversion driving it loads. It's got 371k Km on the clock and I hope I can get it much,much higher in the coming years.
    Also, it's purple ❤

    That car is a dream! Except I'd had a valved intake (or just open) instead of exhaust 😄
    The "droop" setting on coilovers are to set so that the wheels don't rub the fenders when the suspension is bottoming out. usually tested without springs and then installing the springs afterwards 😁
    But it can also be used for hight adjustment if the car is to be slammed with stance fitment.

    That's a frigging gorgeous bimmer that mind! The interiors fantastic 👌
    It'd be perfect sitting a bit lower, on a delicious set of throwing stars as well 🙂

    have you done a timing chain yet? I had 540 e39(2001y) with about 110k on the clock and when my mechanic(independent BMW garage) changed it he said that it was still good, but a week later his customer -X5 4.4(similar mileage to my 540) - had to be recovered because of timing chain issue, so it might be worth to check it.
    some years ago I sold my e34 540 for Ł850 then a couple years later my friend sent me the link with e34 540... for 8k 🥺, and few years before that I could buy low-ish mileage e34 540 manual for about Ł400!! but I didn't knew much about cars.
    you got nice e39 😁👍

    I thought that the spring was the shock absorber and the strut was the damper? 🤔

    I was never sold on the ubiquitous Bilstein Eibach setup either, everyone raves about it esp in the Vdub scene, harsh ride
