- BMW has blessed us with some of the greatest cars the world has ever seen. The German manufacturer is responsible for basically defining the modern sports car. But of all the brilliant vehicles they’ve given us, which one is the BEST? Or more specifically - which 14 are the best? Today we’re looking at the best production BMWs ever made. You probably already love a few of these, but a few might catch you off-guard!

I was so caught off guard when James mentioned that story about his dad.
Same.
I thought he was gonna joke, in typical Kentucky cobra fashion... but he hit us with the Feel trip... caught me off guard
I had a moment in my last BMW that I'm not so sure I would have driven away from if I were in another car. It definitely made me way more emotionally tied to the brand so that story hit pretty hard for me too.
gave me a flashback to when Clarkson told the story about his 928 and seeing his dad.
@@TheMadSalviGaming dude thanks for reminding me of that momet
we are used to hear james joke about his dad leaving him, but this time caught me of guard that story make me drop a tear.
Yeah, when he said he wished he could buy his father one of the M5 I instantly realized he has a nice father and it's a joke all along. Then came in the sad story :(
Sorry if i am dumb. But the made it sound like his dad died in the car. That same car that saved James' life when he got his astma attack. Please correct me if i am totally wrong here.
@Trevor Taylor lmaooo
I didn't understand his story? Can someone explain
@@StaelTek I heard the same thing, and though the tires "never hitting the road" was a crash. I get it now though. The part where he said he was in a hospital with an asthma attack made it seem like his Dad was trying to see him at the hospital.
Dude I’ve never teared up during a car review video before. James you really deserve a lot of credit and respect for opening yourself up like that. I’ve always enjoyed your videos and all of that but now I know how genuine of a person you are and that you are willing to pour your heart out for us which is definite PROOF that you love your fans. Much much respect! Also your dad is clearly an absolute legend and we are all thankful that his bond level driving, piloting an e28, is why we are able to enjoy your videos today.
James, I've always liked your style, including your alter-ego character. But, today after hearing your heart, I've grown in appreciation and respect for you and your material. Thanks for breaking the cold mold and revealing your tender heart.
No...nooo i cant handle the *crying james* 😭
"The tires never touched the road" 😭
I felt that story, James.
I felt sorry tooo but what does that mean
He was driving so fast? The tires weren't touching the group. Obviously not true, but it's a testament to how fast he drove and the fear everyone was feeling
Wan Afif think it just means he was driving really really fast
We get that this is supposed to mean fast... But it doesn't make sense...
Ever hear the expression he was flying? When you see some guy hauling ass down the road? Same thing...
Man, I've been a hard BMW fanboy since I was 7 years old, and now at the age of 28 you just made me a bigger fan! Thank you for reminding us how great this brand once was, sadly its just not the same anymore... But to be fair I believe that the new M5 CS will make it in every top BMW list in the future
(F82) - M4 GTS is another pretty special street-race ready vehicle (my all time BMW favorite).. ;0)
James, the story about your dad really hit close to home. My boyfriend has the same exact e28, same year, same model, same COLOR, and ours also saved a life--a few years back he was able to race his hemorrhaging friend to the hospital, just in time. It's a really special car.
Dang, the feels caught me off guard, a BMW is the reason why James is with us right now
Yeah, just wow
87powered not me this dude cries to damn much
@@Treycotwright it's ok to cry.
Damn straight.
KaiZeeYT indeed but not all the time... when your dog dies cry it’s okay nobody will blame you but when Carroll Shelby dies maybe get sad but don’t cry like it was your dad
I love how completely open James is about his life, he doesn’t hold anything back. This is why we love him
Except for his dad..
Captain Autismo Especially from this video, I think we’re getting a little more backstory
when is the movie coming out??
James can use a break he has done so much
Bruh i love James and watch Donut exclusively because of him but that was terrible acting lol
The day I played NFS MW for the first time was when I absolutely fell in love with the e46 m3 gtr and I hope one day I will build an exact replica of that M3
There’s like 3 replicas of it…yours would be 4, personally i would build the street version, hope you can make it bro
Police: "Any details on that car?"
Server: "Suspect is a silver BMW."
@@JPSquare272 There are quite a few replicas of it, but not many are GTR's. Everybody and their little brother recreates that car because it's just so damn good looking.
Andre Klebleyev made a replica of the M3 GTR. Damn he's a beast of making the car. He also made Darius' Audi R8.
I play carbon with m3 e46, m3 csl, m3 gtr street, and m3 gtr e46 GT
Been watching these videos for years and I wasn't expecting a sentimental part at all. Your dad is a good man. 🙏🙏
People have been asking for an “up to speed” on his Dad. Little did we know, we’d get this bombshell.
And that pagani moron that spams it every video is nowhere to be found
DaSracasticFish little do we know under pressure his dad is an f1 driver
I tought his dad was jeremy clarkson
Just Kyle all we know is, he's called the stig
JDMSteven thats not how that works
I always watch these on the toilet. Today I had to wipe my eyes too.
Self tanning?
😂😂😂😂
Eeewwwe!
I was cutting an onion at the time.
Lol u had dieing..had to wipe eyes too..lol good one
Damn dude, that story really got to me. It's amazing the bond that fathers have with their children, really makes me appreciate my dad and all he's done for me. All came up in a wave of tears. Thank you for sharing.
Hands down favorite episode, glad your still with us James.
"The tires never touched the ground". Your dad had his priorities in check that day. He had the proper car for the job too.
Can I ask? I really didn't get what he said about it, Did it like crash or some sort?
DudeAndroid Baby James was dying and his poppa drove so fast it was like he was flying cuz he was driving so fast. To save baby James.
@@ASKWilliman ohh thanks for the explanation, now that we know, we kinda dont wanna make a joke about his dad no more.
@@ASKWilliman merci !
Can anybody forget the 2005 m5 with this V10 or the Z8?
I love how James don't hold back his feelings when recording his shows.
Love Thy FATHER
I honestly wish I was that in touch with my emotions... I've nearly died quite a few times now, but most of those times were through my own decision making and I have a really hard time attaching any emotion to the events.
We love you James, never change who you are.
My stupid brother thinks that his feelings were fake,pff
@@gio_ziraqa He obviously doesn't understand/know how passionate and real James is 🤔
Watching James tear up about that story with his dad had me tearing up...
Oh, shit! I was caught off guard by his family's story about him and his dad. I had to review that part several times and it teared me up. I blitz through these videos so fast normally, but I have to stop and say thank you for sharing that story so honestly with us! Respect to you, to your dad and to the BMW of those days!
When your so early Pagani Gaming hasn’t even commented for James to do a up to speed on his dad
nah he already Has commented mate ,
Haha, comment right below you is him
Pagani is faster than you, can you confirm you understood this message.
Nope I got you by a minute haha
The greatest bmw of all time ...
The McLaren F1
I honestly cried a little when James told the story of his dad and the E28.
@Leonardo SantuarioBruh
@Leonardo Santuario rude
Caught feels with that as hard as I did with Jeremy Clarkson's story of the Porsche 968 being the reason he was able to see his dad before he passed away.
@Leonardo Santuario what is your problem
@Leonardo Santuario does your mother know you are gay?
The more I watch Donut, the more you really learn about James and it's awesome. Thanks for being the real you for your viewer.
Had to rewatch, best D-List yet! When I was young my mom made a similar run in our Skylark and I spent Thanksgiving in an oxygen tent. You got me in the feels bro❤️
“So what got you into smoking? Friends? Influencers? Peer pressure?”
James: “this cool shark bmw with a Marlboro livery”
i don't think influercers were a thing before the 00's
@@herejust4cars723 Hahaha, pretty sure they were always around, although using different mediums of furthering their agenda.
Yeah its cool and all. But the marlboro i coming off. kind regards the owner :) insta: tg.autoservice
I love how genuine James is. When he told the story of his dad driving him to the hospital, I almost cried and I'm serious.
I did. I just let it out thats just scary to think if his dad didnt have a bmw we couldnt have our MO POWA BABY like we love james
Your awesome James . the passion and love in these videos always makes me happy . I love how genuine you are .
Man James, I love this show just for the entertainment and great info but that story about having bad asthma really hit home with me. When I was a kid I had really bad asthma too and had some bad scares with asthma attacks too. Thank God we both made it through it!
I think now more than ever we deserve and up to speed on James's dad
Yes please!! I thought he hated his dad or is it now he loves him , I need to know also.
Anyone able to explain .
@@dwjfyoung his dad passed away, he mentioned it in an older video
Oh no......condolences man.
6 months later, and UTS is MIA...
Yes!!
Totally thought that bmw story was going to be a joke about his dad leaving him, then it turned out to be heart warming.
I am shocked to hear that your dad saved you form asthma attack by doing transporter in alpina omg we as the fans of donut media are very luckly to sitll have you around today james my lord your dad is a real hero thank you for the touching story see you later bye now.
@@lillianapacheco9155 alpine white stated for color not that alpina
Great show man you guys are awesome. First one I watched was the up to speed on the toyota mr2 and have watched donut ever since lol keep up the good videos man!!
What a powerful story.. thank you for sharing James 🙏
James is literally the only man who makes other men cry
AsRebel EVERY FUCKING TIME...usually it’s about some random German guy in the 1910s that I now have to wiki for the next hour
Jeremy Clarkson made me cry once... or twice... Shut up, I'm not crying!
yep. misty here. 👍🏼
@@dna129 the last episode of The Grand Tour was a tear jerker for sure!
He gets me everytime
When a dude starts tearing up during a car story that's how you know he's really passionate about that stuff 💯💯
@Leonardo Santuario hey dont be a butt
Much respect to James. He’s a real homie~
He’s so passionate about cars, one car literally saved his life... and it’s not number one on his list. I wouldn’t have blamed him for putting it at number one, it was a good story and super touching. To me that car is number one.
Really great video, honestly
Thank you for the dedication and the research
It's good that this channel brings emotion in to the video's. It's what made the original top gear great and what will and makes this channel so great
When Jeremy clarkson was filming the top gear Patagonia special he told a story of how he was able to see his dad for the last time before he passed away, and he was able to do that because he drove a Porsche 928. Jeremy’s story is just like James’s story 🙂
The 982 fkl porche
Its so cool to see other people like me top gear fans
This is exactly what came to mind
he also mentions taking a roast chicken for his mum because she was in the hospital all day and hadnt eaten
I fucking cried then too 😭😂
At this point I’m convinced James’s dad is Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson shared a similar story on Top Gear. He was given a Porsche 928 to review the week his dad passed away. Thanks to that car's 150mph top speed, Jeremy was able to say goodbye mere moments before his dad died.
He pretty much confirmed it on a diff video
@@MaxxVelo the one about the golf with the w10 engine in it
@@LetsGoECU1 yea it was the argentina special.
such a beautiful sentiment for the E 28. cars play such a pivotal role in our lives. what a great message. there are truly more things than meets the eye when it comes to these cars
Damn dude.. hit me right in the feels.. we are also thankful for your dad's lead foot...happy you are here my dude
*Thank you James Dad for saving this mans life.*
I think now more than ever we deserve and up to speed on James's dad
James’s story reminds me on Jeremy Clarkson’s. Jeremy lived in London. He got a call from his mother saying his father, who was desperately ill, was likely in his final moment’s. Jeremy had made a roast chicken for dinner and he’d figured he’d bring his mother some because she wouldn’t have eaten. He was testing a 928 that week for the magazine he worked for, he threw the chicken in and had a 3 and a half hour journey ahead of him. He’d arrived fast enough that the chicken was still warm and his father was still alive. That reminded me of this story. Both made me cry...
we've seen top gear...
max idk maybe YOU have. But there’s a lot of people who haven’t. And even the ones who have, that’s still a phenomenal story. So get your rocks off being a dick to someone else, somewhere else.
@@tyranosurasmax Door's right there, pal. Show some tact on your way out.
I haven't heard of it before
Never heard that story so thanks for posting I was just about to google it 👍🏽
The E46 M3 - likely my favorite car of all time. Loved it so much I bought two of them. I also have an E30 325 that is a ton of fun to drive.
This video is hands down, the most enjoyable video I have ever watched on TH-cam. Such a versatile story teller. And I personally love the e28 so much so it had me choked up. I pray that you can buy your Dad that car soon🙏. Please just promise that you will make a video of his reaction when you do. 😁
The other dudes aren't even that bad, James is just that good.
True
Dood Ranch Man you just put my vision of this channel in perspective. It is REEEAAALLLLYY hard to not compare them. I did really love that nerdy guy...wish he’d stayed.
I miss Felipe. He was dope on Prestado and I’d really love to see more stuff with him or Eddie.
I've actually been pleasantly surprised that every host does a pretty damn good job but James does hit different
Spoiler: James Dad jokes aren't funny after this video.
Lucas Detex I know, right!!!
Damn it... you’re right.
What did he mean by saying “the tires never touched the road”???
@@Nahyanvr He went really fast. Don't take it literally
let the man get somethin off his chest.... it wasn't a joke... but that's his business
BRO!!! I came here coz im a huge BMW fan and i love your vids. Now Im a bigger fan of you!!! Massive respect, Big hugs.
Love this channel. You guys are awesome. Appreciate all the videos you guys make.
Came for the silly car list, stayed for the wholesome childhood story.
Hey James, I just lost my Dad last October we spent hours together watching DONUT. He used to have 65 FORD LOTUS CORTINA, it after market fenders and airdam styling very reminiscent of the 3.0CSL. This episode was extremely emotional for me I couldn't finish the episode until tonight. Your story was very close to my heart I used to have asthma myself and have driven at the speed of Angel's by the grace of God by my Dad. 87 T-brd Turbo Coupe w/ 350+. That car and my Dad were the reasons I bought my first car 91 SHO PLUS. Before he passed we starting planning doing a project together. We love WRC so after he passed I picked up an 02 WRX Wagon with a JDM STI front clip and JDM 2.0L Stock power for now but MO POWA will come in time BABY... I picked up STI rear doors and rear quarter panels I plan on doing a wide body conversion. I'll have a WHITE BUGEYE STI WAGON someday wish me luck... Love you Pumphrey, man keep going strong. I'm praying for your continued health. I wish I could be there workin with you.
Praying for you. Those bonds with love ones will take you far. Best of wishes🙏🙏🙏
Blees your heart
he sounded like an amazing man and even more amazing of a father, may his soul rest in peace.
hopefully your project goes well, it sounds like a dope project :)
@G you stuppid sob...are you proud of that bs ??
And??
I watched this video while I sketched a widebody e 36 m3 and saw the rear wing spacers of the first car.
I immediatly knew what my bmw needed right know :)
Amazing video, even a few years on. Wishing you all the best James
The fact that James shares with us this experiences he had in his life is one of the reasons we love him so much.
and he's super funny and positive.
Reading all these comments before the part with e28 pops up.
"What they sobbin bout"..
e28 story over:
"I am leaking blinker fluid"
Me too bro im leaking blinkers fluid so much I literally became a bmw car itself
I don't even know you besides your videos, but I love you James!!! You almost got me today. I think we can all agree that we're glad that you're alive and thanks to your dad for that!
Cool review!
James's dad wasn't driving that day. He was flying low
THEY FLY NEEEUW???
James: almost cries
Me: oh god I can’t handle this 😭😭😭
I scrolled down to find out if the story was true or if he was just trolling us again tho
Great list!
Touching series. Glad it was. Salute
James is honestly my favorite host on the show he’s funny and he isn’t afraid to make it emotional and it makes the best channel on yt but you forgot to mention the e60 m5 v10
its special but its crap.....the e60 interior has so much plastic in it the merc eclass was alot better.... also the s85 was a crap pile of an engine....its a money pit to maintain. and the mercedes v8 had a ton more torque and slightly more hrspw...... and it was more reliable than the v10......if you want a v10 sedan get the audi with the lambo block...
It doesn't deserve to be in this list, its just awful.only good think about it is the gorgeous sound it makes, and probably its looks. The rest of the car is just trash. S85 is one of the worst motors ever created,uses more oil than fuel,timing chain needs to be replaced every few thousand miles, cheap interior, shitty gearbox etc.
Razor- wolf89 hell nah thats one of the worst cars bmw ever made! 1M could be on the list, but other than that i think the list is pretty damn solid
@@pearl571 Seem highly biased of a Merc fan, i mean you do have W124 in your name. The S85 won many engine of the year award. And it super easy to maintain if you know what to buy. All you have to do is upgrade the throttle actuators and rod bearings one time. Use the proper 10 quarts of 10W-60 Castrol oil. And buy an E60 M5 with a manual 6 speed trans and your good to go for a cheap super sedan that made 507 HP and screamed to 8700 RPM like an engine symphony that it is. The Merc V8 wasn't bad. But was very basic standard crossplane V8 which does sound good. But not V10 good.
I'm here for the V10!
me: not cries on the titanic
my gf: u have no feelings
also me when waching james: hlip hlip
PS where is the z8?
He mentions the 507 roadster, the car that gave origin to the z8, so it's kinda on this list
Love E28s as much as you do. Have equally fond memories of it. I find it to be one of the most good looking cars of its time.
Perfect list, I completely agree 👌🏽
can we get a petition for james to wear a green shirt in the next episode of either up to speed of d-list so that he just doesn't have a torso
I am in full support of this idea -Jesse
I mean he already lost so much weight this is the next logical step
Good idea! Karl Smallwood on Fact Fiend sells t-shirts with a green spot that we wears so he has a hole in his chest. He also has green in the tattoos on his arm.
@@bradlemmond ah, man of a culture
Trunks Briefs
His head is the same size though?
The 5 series story reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's Porsche 928 story about when his dad died. How he drove quicker than ever to arive just in time to say his goodbyes. That combination of the sad story I was reminded of and the fact that James wouldn't be alive today would it not have been for the fact his father had a fast af BMW really made me well up.
Love from Sweden.
Well, Jeremy Clarkson himself used to own a BMW 3.0 CSL
no joke, varje gång jag snubblar över den här videon så fäller jag en legit tår
I was just about to comment this until I saw this 😂
W That 928 was press car
Man I didn't think I'd be tearing up here...appreciate the realness and not editing out the emotion. Good man with a good dad

yea, i was surprised it wasn't there tbh
The 1M should definitely take the m2 cs place.
2011* but yea, absolutely should've been on the list.
i just got my brother 335i the shares the engine from the 1m the stright 6 tin turbo best engine they ever made

Yeah definitely its on my bucket list
E30 baby.... all damn day

E30s are for the noobs when they need something to say for street cred
