We Bought Two V12 Legends For Less Than A Toyota Corolla
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- In the second ever Throttle House Road Trip, Thomas and James purchase two V12 legends of yore and take them on a journey across Ontario and into Quebec. Thomas has picked himself up a nearly immaculate E38 BMW 7-Series and James has found himself a less-than-immaculate Mercedes-Benz S-Class W140. They plan to answer one simple question: are the older and cheaper luxury limos actually better than their more expensive modern renditions? We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

Throttle House in it's way to become the real successor of the original Top Gear
They surpassed top gear yrs ago
Wow. Never seen this comment before.
why do you people not acknowledge the grand tour lol
@@16BitOGit's way too scripted. Throttle house have a great balance between car review and sketches.
NOPE.....They have already surpassed them!
That 7 Series with the Alpina wheels looks soooooo good.
I have never liked the Alpina wheels, they look so boring because they use those in every Alpina. Also a luxury car should not sit that low. Bye luxury....
The 750i in "Tomorrow never dies" looked way better.
@peterhammer6915 I just like big wheels and thin tyres 😁. I agree with height, though. It's too low.
@@peterhammer6915 who give a damn 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
You look at it and wonder if a just slightly updated and modernized version of the look really couldn't be a hit today.
@@kerrinmarr9204The ride height on that car is as low as Buick Special 1962.😅
22:55
that bus sound was genuinely impressive
The Jeff Arcuri appearance hit me like a bus. Should have heard him coming.
The repair bills cost more than the cars but for the little time that they are rolling, magic.
not any different than owning an E60 M5 or a pre 2000s Ferrari. It's never about the investment, but the enjoyment and thrill that comes with it as a package.
Yup. A set of plug wires for my 600 (it's an early M120, pre-COP, still has the cam driven distributors) is like $500 from the dealer and there's a core charge because MB wants them back. No joke. A car that cost as much as a house to buy costs as much as a house to fix. This is why I tell people that they need to buy a car because they love the car. Doesn't matter what it is, at some point, it's going to cost you money. Could be a Corolla, it'll still want tires and oil changes and brakes. Loving the car at least makes spending that money hurt less.
@@akafxde7245E60 M5 is without a doubt way more unreliable than both of these cars. Not even close. The E60 M5 is the most troubled BMW in existence, even thought it’s an amazing car outside of its issues.
And the camera gear probably cost more than the cars and repairs.
@@siorusbzns654 What's core charge?
Having grown-up watching Top Gear- I always find myself drawn to these kind of "Roundtrip" format videos- having a number of different iterations available.
As a Canadian- super excited to see one actually set here.
Never any short-cuts on quality- whether production, content itself, writing. Always top quality.
You guys rule. Keep it up, thank you for representing Canada so well!
It's pretty cool seeing them drive right by where my old high school was ;)
And they had gear stolen from them within the first day. Not the best "come to Canada" advertisement.
Roundtrip roadtrips, perhaps?
As an E38 owner, a longtime Top Gear fan, and a "trying-to-make-it" automotive TH-camr, this episode was absolutely spot on for me! 🔥 The perfect blend of humor, insight, and driving passion-exactly what I love about Throttle House. Keep it up guys, you’re an inspiration!
I swear Thomas driving around that actor with that weird small talk felt very Hammond esque 😂 god this is great. Especially right after Gears & Gasolines just wrapped up.
You need to watch upload. That actors great and that shows great
Robbie Amell. He's been in a few good things... District 8. He had a small role in The Witcher. Agreed, Upload has been really good. Worth a watch for sure.
Yep!
That whole segment was exactly the sort of thing the TG guys would do when reviewing cars, and it was perfect!
Robbie Amell is indeed a good looking man. Thomas has taste I see ;) haha
Damn, that ending was heartbreaking. Hope you can replace the gear ASAP. Great video, best regards, can't wait for p2!
Thomas was calm cool and fearless he had everything under control.
Their truck was culturally enriched. They should be thankful that it wasn't completely gone. Just another benefit of cultural mosaic they were raving so much earlier.
I am so sad to live in the austrian country side where something like this would be a major headline cause it never happens. I wish i would've live in the US, Canada, UK or France where crime like this is just part and parcel of a multicultural lifestyle :)
@@user-gy6ts7po2zRoom temp iq comment
@@3xoticG4m3r I was curious so looked it up... very confusing, but burglary rates in Austria actually seem quite high (actually all of Europe seems to be getting worse at an alarming rate) - though violent crime is exceptionally low by global standards. Ontario is actually one of the better cities in North America by the looks of it, and ranks pretty well globally. I live in semi-rural NZ - worst thing that has happened here after leaving my wifes car unlocked in our driveway for years, someone did finally open the door to see if there was anything in it worth taking (there wasn't, and we caught them on camera and the police got them) Now we lock the car (and the front door, which we'd also been slack about locking), but haven't had anyone on camera since.
No matter where you are, staying out of big cities is the best way to avoid that unique multi-cultural experience of being the victim of petty crime! Either way, it's on the increase everywhere.
Had a mint condition 1992 500SEL from 2018-2023. Used it as my prom limo my senior year and took endless road trips with it, around 35k miles added in total. That car was my pride and joy. What a machine
Guys honestly this is the best thing you done so far, top gear worthy
Top gear is not even close to them
They need a third wheel. Who should it be? I'm voting Sarah n Tuned :)
@anaveragehuman2937 Joe Achillies
As someone who was mugged in college and had his photography gear stolen, I can't empathize with you guys enough - having the gear stolen is heartbreaking enough, but what stings even more is to lose the work (in this case, footage) that you guys put so much heart and hard work into. I'm so sorry to see this happened to you all, as it's readily obvious that you are genuine in how you produce these videos and do it out of pure love for cars. Looking forward to seeing you bounce back with more light-hearted jokes and awesome tests/journeys ahead - Happy Holidays to the entire TH family.
I bought my dream e38 about two years ago. I also said I'd sell it to help fund the 911 I bought in March of this year. It's still in my garage and I absolutely cannot bring myself to let it go. It lives up to all the hype. Including but not limited to plenty of bizarre mechanical and electrical faults that pop up here and there despite a bulletproof service history. Lovely car.
Absolutely never would have expected Throttle House x Jeff Arcuri lol
Lol i was about to write the same, that's so strange lol
Bro i yelped when jeff's name was announced. so stoked for him t be featured on my favorite car youtube channel. Prime needs to have a feature for both the Throttle House crew, and Jeff Arcurie asap!
James finally on screen with someone who is at least as funny as he is
you guys are the best car youtubers rn. Literally bought one of the best looking cars from the best generation. Tbh you guys are the new Topgear
Thomas and James are basically Clarkson & Hammond 2.0.
May disappeared lol@@purwantiallan5089
@@purwantiallan5089 James is irreplacable is what i'm getting out of this
Carwow says the otherwise
Throttle house > carwow@@d.s.2868
w 126, w140, e32, e38 and audi a8 and lexus ls from those era looks so good with proper wheels and mods. even stock they look good.
I am so invested in this.
I know right
Same
I wanna own a BMW model too as long as it is not XM or X6.
I can just hear the faintest voice saying "that S600 is begging for a $12,000 exhaust" somewhere..
Effspot is watching this thinking “a $12,000 exhaust would really wake up that V12” 😂
you gotta adjust that cost for inflation. it's been a while. lol
63 Engineering out of Estonia is currently working on M120 equal length headers, if their M119 (the V8) sets are anything to go off of, probably going to be closer to $3500 instead of $12k
effspot gonna nagging them very badly to get the v12 screaming glory😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Simply Outstanding! The best content I have seen in a while. Thank you for keeping it local and focusing on Toronto and Montreal! Eagerly awaiting Part 2!
36:54 Wouldn't be a true tour of Toronto without this
Lmaooo typical stuff right there. Toronto and Hamiltom become extra shitholes at night with crackies threatening to stab you with their used needles, craxk heads stealing crap to sell for their next fix and homeless/ and or crackies in tents taking over the city including parks filled with tents and needles and stabbings every other day. Amazing place to be, my home sweet home Hamilton 😂😂
it doesn't need to be this way, but useless "public servants" offering zero repercussions for crimes, and immigration officials with zero considerations for ordinary citizens who have to put up with the immigrants they irresponsibly approve.
I was thinking the same😅
LOL I remember back in 2000 I was working for a company and we had 2 nice f350 diesel trucks. Staying at a hotel in Toronto one of the trucks got stolen. After talking to some locals that seemed normal.
Hopefully, Trudeau is on his way out.
I was wondering why everything seems so "summer" for a video release in December, the ending explains everything lol. Chap 1 car broken into, chap 2 laptop stolen. Glad that we still have this video. Thank you, Throttle House team, for completing this series
I know no one will probably ever read this but this is one of the best and most entertaining TH-cam videos I've ever watched!!
Huge thanks and I really hope this will go on for a long time....
Really gutted about your gear getting stolen. Thanks for doing what you do. Thomas, James, and the entire production crew.
W140 owner here and thank you guys for this episode, love what you are doing and that cheap plastic cars are avoided from the content
You guys really should do a TV series. The genuine humour and the natural rapport are reminiscent of old Top Gear.
5 and 7 series looked so timeless and classic back then. Then, they hired Bangle and when you thought it couldn't get worse, they started selling grilles with attached cars.
Unpopular opinion bangel m5 and m6 v10s aged really well
Bangle isn’t even all that bad . E60 M5 in particular aged like a fine wine . Domagoj Dukec will forever take crown of the worst BMW designer
Never liked the Bangle era. Much much better after that. Dont think the E92 M3 is a Bangle designed car even if it's that era. That of course is one of the most beautiful BMW:s ever made. Up there with the Z8 and 507.
The F90 looked great though, especially the M5
@@moyopedro2557what do you like about the Bangle designs? They look inspired by androgynous beluga whales
That BMW is absolutely gorgeous. They truly don’t make them like that anymore. Just a stunning design. Also, another top notch video. Excellent production value, great chemistry and most importantly - entertaining. Keep up the great work, everyone
I think thats BMW M3.😅
Just needs it's suspension fixed. The ride looks horrific.
@@volvo09felt bad for Amell bouncing in the back seat 😂
It's gorgeous but the f8x and g8x m3 are gorgeous aswell
I really like modern BMW interior in all honesty. But the exteriors could use a lot of work.
The fact that you guys don’t have your own show on tv yet blows my mind. Easily some of the best automotive content on yt!
I grew up watching the OG top gear and I can’t quite put my finger on why but you guys seemed to have matched the energy, look and feel of TG! Brilliant first episode, can’t wait for part 2!
Throttle house are so much nicer and less miserable. That’s why they are doing well cuz their personalities are likable
Exactly my thinking! This feels very much like a hommage.
Not even close.
You literally took the words right out of my mouth! I'll check out TH every once in a while but this episode gave me old school top gear vibes!! More episodes like this please!
@@jissanhuq3792 That assessment could use a rethink on several levels. It likely won't receive one. Either way, it might be best you just enjoy the nice little bubble we've built for you, instead of being self-thrown toward petty assertions about those who've known beyond it. The rest of your years will witness the true disappointments of this century's remainder, so there's no need to rush to find smaller ones before the close of business. At any rate the last several decades aren't the place to look, let alone from Clarkson, Hammond, or May.
If you fancy a challenge, try noticing that the best people contain knowledge of both misery and joy, and that other exceptionally good people may commonly find depth and breadth quite likable. Or, notice that sometimes, often on camera, people are acting.
No single source of car content (though it's mirror reflected well beyond that) will ever again match the quality or quantity of admiration, adulation, viewership, respect, enjoyment, or historical import of TopGear under the guidance of Wilman and the Trio. That was the peak, and the unique, as is known by those who possess the capacity. Every aspect of this particular Throttle House production is an emulation of prime TopGear (sadly, even comes complete with theft of items from bed of pickup truck). The commenter to whom you've replied is glad of this emulation, and grateful for it, as are the producers of the video above, who've done good work. If you're helplessly eager to analyze something, perhaps inspect the nature and source of motivation behind your captious compulsion to seek contrast where gratitude would have been more appropriate.
A note: To save any hassle, don't mistake my intent. Though you'd benefit from considering it, this comment was not written for the benefit of your consideration. We're training our new AI overlords here, and they'll give it more thought than you ever would. Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... haven't you noticed, suddenly I'm bright and breezy
day by day
Gears and Gasoline road trip just concluded and now a Throttle House roadtrip starts. I feel blessed.
Literally a blessing! Lol
ooh yea baby
We have this, Gears & Gasoline, and Cartrek to enjoy haha
Man love these two channels. The only two channels I watch lol
they were smart uploading this right as that one ended
Hanging out with the boys........ this is a GREAT format. Masterpiece.
Funny, I saw an E38 and shortly after a W140 today in Munich, now I open TH-cam and see this video
I'm taking this as a sign of the universe
Fantastic work friends!
This is a special time to be watching Throttle House. In the coming years they will be scooped up by Amazon or Netflix, get paid gazillions, and will have producers and directors turning them into Top Gear. But right now they are at the top of their game, churning out the best car content on the web, every few weeks. And we get to enjoy it.
Thanks, boys!
Thomas: _You got only SPOONS!?_
James: _That's all they had..._
I love these two's chemistry. James' antics and Thomas' reactions to them never get old. I forget this is a car review channel sometimes.
Thats incredibly frustrating at the end.
Keep your kindness and spirits high. The thieves may have some provided temporary gains, but karma will provide a return.
Love the videos!!!
not in canada. those thieves will never get caught, and if they do get caught, they won't have to go to court for at least 5-6 years, and after all that if they even do get sentenced, at most they'll get zero jail time due to the police forking something up in their paperwork.
agreed, what goes around, comes around...
@@BobSmith-qq3ig Ya, but they have such a shit life they have to steal to make a bit of money
Im glad he picked up the crayon smell😂 i had a e46 325i my mother had a e39 540! My dad a 740il and my brother a e39 528i. That crayon smell is just pure 90's early 2000's, and i love it!
Volkswagens had it too around that era. I recall the first time I noticed it when working at a dealer, I was like WHY do the VWs always smell like crayons!"
I guess it's some wax based sealant in the doors?
2006 Chevy impalas had it too
My 2009 C class also had it…
Volvo as well
This silver 750iL with the alpina wheels just made me fall in love. It‘s a beauty and i would love to take care of one
After watching this episode. That 0:55 that hug was definitely needed. Holy biscuits emotionally gripping Harrison. Well done. I saw you bud. For the next series on 2025 we will go to Delaware because it’s safe. And fun. ❤
As a MY97 W140 S600 Owner (in Midnight Blue like this one but in wayyyy better condition!) I was super pumped to see this! I also have a MY96 R129 SL600 (Imperial Red) - if you guys ever come just south to Buffalo, NY let me know - you're of course welcome to take them out! You guys easily have the best YT car channel - keep up the good work!
Woah I went to Buffalo once, I may go again. May I have the honor of being a passenger in your cars, or if you'd like, let me drive?
@@Inawello sorry buddy, you're not famous enough
@@Pablo-fn5sd 😔
Love both of those cars. I almost bought a w140 S600 off one of my neighbors years ago…, but I was warned that servicing v12 cars was most likely too expensive for me. I have been daily driving a w210 e55 for about 6 years and it is hands down my favorite car I have owned out of about 30 cars overall.
@@actionfaction2558 It's really not that hard if you buy a well-serviced one to start and have some patience!
Man, i love these guys, they are great, genuinely great ...its such a joy and pleasure watching their videos, makes me feel better every single time...
The w140 for me is the best car ever made. I had an s420 w140 1997 model. It was like sitting on the most comfortable couch driving a bullet-proof car at 120kl/h and hearing absolutely nothing. That car was amazing
My dad drove an actual bulletproof W140 S600L back in the days (professional driver) - over 5 tons, 700+ horsepower and the smoothest ride! The view was awful, because the bulletproof glass was so thick it distorted everything, though.
As an owner of a 97 S320L im glad that these beauties are finally getting some love. The repair bill on either of these is a lot less than the repair/depriciated on a new electric shit box
These guys are better than TopGear. I say that because they are capturing the same type of magic on a fraction of the budget.
It really is something. So happy to have discovered this channel way back when!
Thanks Thomas, James and team for such world class automotive entertainment!
By a lot. Also FAR better than 2024 Carwow.
Also giving a much fairer shake to the kinds of vehicles that usually don't do well with car journalists, like econoboxes and various EVs, whilst still giving honest and critical reviews.
That's facts.
Plus they actually make it about the cars!
most people dont admit it but top gear was way more scripted
Great video. I love the city of Toronto. You guys have done a fantastic job mixing tourism with car enthusiasm. Would love more content around Toronto.
Serviced German cars professionally for years. Own a W140 600. Both of these are excellent cars, but the 600 is worlds better than the 750. It's been largely forgotten to time now but the 750 cost about what a V8 S-class did, it was about 50% cheaper than the 600. They have quite a bit less horsepower and they're not built nearly as well as the Mercedes. They are, however, a good deal lighter and a better driver's car, to the extent that anything in this class is a driver's car.
Merc prices have always been ridiculous. And the cars mostly look ugly. The EQ-series from C upwards probably gets the trophy for the ugliest cars ever manufactured.
@@peterhammer6915 From making the best looking ones back then.
@@peterhammer6915 The EQs are ugly, I agree. They're less-ugly in person, but still ugly. With respect to being overpriced, historically, up to and including the W202/210/140/R129 era, Mercedes cost what they did for good reason. From roughly 1960-2003, Mercedes built unquestionably the best cars on the planet, and by a very, very large margin. You could buy sportier cars than a Merc of that era, or faster cars, or more fuel-efficient cars. You might even be able to get a more reliable car--the RWD Volvos are at least on par with Mercedes, possibly better, although not much else belongs in that conversation--but you will not find any one car from that era that makes as few compromises as a Mercedes.
A better driver's car--say, an E28 versus a W123--is not built as well. A Volvo 240 might be more reliable and is certainly cheaper to fix but does not drive as well. So on and so forth.
There was about a 45 year period where Mercedes built cars to make the fewest compromises possible, and they did it at a level that perhaps no other company besides Duesenberg ever managed. I have a Mercedes ad from a magazine circa about 1965 here waiting for me to frame it; it's a picture of a transmission on a transmission dynamometer, and the caption talks about how Mercedes dyno tests every single transmission they make to like 200mph road speed, even though at the time none of their cars could hit more than about 125. That kind of engineering and FOS is what you paid for, and those cars were absolutely not overpriced. That kind of engineering is why the 190E set speed and endurance records that stood for decades. The "overpriced" argument is the refuge of people who just don't understand the ethos of Mercs from that era.
The later cars, the W211, W220, W203, so on, there was a meaningful drop in quality, the absolute nadir of which was about 2005-2010. They've improved since then, but they're still not what they were. Buyers' tastes and expectations changed. Nobody buys these cars and holds onto them for 25 years anymore; they're leased, then CPO'd, then scrapped. If they make it to 150k without completely falling apart, job done. In some respects they're still better cars than what the rest of the industry is doing; Mercedes still knows how to tune an engine (current C63 notwithstanding), they haven't completely forgotten/cost cut interior economics (although they've tried), and they still drive mostly like a Mercedes should. But they're not what they were. Stuff like the 500E and that 600 are long gone. The closest you can get in 2024 to that "engineering above all else" philosophy is probably a Lucid, a Land Cruiser, or a GT3.
W140 600 also very reliable.
@@peterhammer6915 I had a longer reply to this that has disappeared into the mod queue, hopefully to turn up at some point. In any case, I agree the EQ is ugly. With respect to pricing, at one time, Mercedes built cars to make the fewest compromises possible, and they did it at a level that perhaps no other company besides Duesenberg ever managed. That ended with the R129, W140, W202, and W210; the absolute nadir of MB quality was about 2005-2010, and it never has recovered completely, nor will it ever. But the cars from the '60s-90s? They were by far and away the most comprehensively well-engineered cars anyone has ever built. Plenty of other companies have made outstanding cars; BMW, Porsche, Lexus, Jaguar, so on. But none of them did or could do what Mercedes did in that era. Not even close. You got what you paid for.
As a driver of a first-generation Audi TT with a V(R)6 I can wholeheartedly agree with every single word and sentence dear ThrottleHouse crew. My car from 2006 just ... drives (like a charm). No bings, no bongs, no superfluous electronics, just pure creamy torque and gentle roars from that epic engine.
I have been watching you two for quite some time and your presence is fantastic. Thanks for what you do!
Back when luxury car interiors weren't 76% plastic, and could afford to give you actual controls.
Mustang 1998 also has less than 30% plastic.
What the hell? What else are interiors made of besides the carpets, backed with plastic, the carpet fibers are surely plastic, the dash cover is plastic or leather covered plastic. Wait? When is the last time you were in ANY car that had a dash not made of a type of plastic? It’s either plastic, vinyl (yet another type of plastic), leather, wood, and steel.
have you been in a luxury car in the last 10 years? they are nowhere near "76%" plastic, dudes taking nonsense lol
They were 80% crayola
@@16BitOG have you been in a modern S-class or 7-series? Almost every surface besides the dashboard and top of the doors is plastic. Lower half of the doors are plastic, door pockets are plastic, seat backs are plastic, the very few buttons that haven't been removed are plastic. None of that was the case in the previous gens. Instead of the knurled metal buttons they used to have for most controls, they either have big plastic slabs with haptic feedback or don't even bother to have buttons at all. All the new gens have are more ambient lights, presumably to try distract you from the rest of the interior.
I'm genuinely upset y'all got your stuff stolen. This channel deserves nothing but blessings.
Now that's the RIGHT way to film a road trip! It's about what you DO with your cars, vs just the damn cars that are meant to haul you to do things you want to.
And kudos on only promoting GOOD sponsors and not hot garbage like the rest of major youtubers!
8:18 Maybach forgot they were making cars and thought they were making handbags.
So f****** excited for January. Sorry that all of you guys lost equipment etc. I can only imagine having new recover all of that or replace it. Love and respect the content you guys make immensely
Love this! Big shoutout to the Car Trek guys who do these types of video. Great watch!
For me, Throttle House is best TH-cam channel of all time. It’s getting close to entertainment and respect I have for Top Gear/The Grand Tour and Fifth Gear.
As someone who lives and drives in Toronto everyday, I really appreciate making car content that isn't just stuck in traffic. Sorry you got robbed. My scion tc has bin broken into 7 times
If you ever need a 97 lexus ls400 though. I got u.
I realize that these roadtrip episodes require much more in terms of production, but man I love 'em! I wish you would do this a lot more.
These two are damn near automotive perfection. A restomodded one of these, or frankly just a fully sorted one, would be the perfect daily.
I loved this episode so much because you shot here in Toronto & I am from Etobicoke, I live near the airport & I felt so good watching my city on your channel but I also felt so bad that your stuff got stolen it really hurts a lot when I hear something like this, God bless Canada 🇨🇦 it’s a beautiful country
This is becoming one of the best channels on TH-cam...& not just in the automotive category.
it's has been the best for years. Canada proud!
I love that you filmed this literally 10 mins walk from my house and right beside where I play soccer weekly. The true successors to TopGear, i will bask in the afterglow of your presence when i go there to play soccer today 🤗 Thanks for always highlighting our beautiful city!
This is giving so much Top Gear UK energy but still coming across as genuine, and I'm here for it!
My grandma wants a chat with you after that joke about her face Sir
Shelby Series 1 entered the chat.
I'm genuinely impressed by how good this is! I've been watching your reviews for years now and you've quickly become one of the few TH-cam channels I'm excited to tune into every week. Thank you for producing so much great content!
Whoa! What a treat...Jeff is one of my favorite comedians ever! Caught him 2 years ago in Vegas. His crowdwork is platinum level. I came for the Merc and got a cool bonus! Great episode.
It's great that you had Jeff Arcuri!. This is totally Top Gear 2.0. Love it!
What a great adventure, I think this is one of the best TH's yet! Also, as a resident of the Golden Triangle I love to see local content!
The throttle housing market is NOT overvalued, great job as always TH team !
This was the kind of episode nobody was expecting but EVERYONE needed! THANK YOU!!
Probably the best channel out there, pleasure to see each and every video
Awesome video guys! I LOVE Jeff Acuri too, he's got such an infectious laugh that makes you laugh as well -- one of my favorite comics for sure.
Thomas's face at 20:23, he remained so well composed, I could never 😅💀
I think you mean at 20:16 ?
I hope that was a bit because the social awkwardness is actively killing me hahah
you DID NOT just end this epic road-trip on such a cliff hanger 😱😱
I loved it, you guys. I laughed out loud for half the episode. The other half I spent with a blessed grin 😀
Thomas explaining the straight piping of their cars under one take is pretty great filming! What a great series!!
Throttle House really killed it with this one. Reminds me of Top Gear back in the day. Very nostalgic and those cars are absolutely legendary. Those were good times 🔥🔥🔥
Sitting here in the calm before the storm. 6 inlaws are arriving tomorrow, and it will be insanity in this house.
I have to tell you that I LOVE this "feature length" video style. Im not in the market for any car whatsoever, but I know Ill be researching these cars after the video. I just think a clean example would be really fun as a weekend car
I had a W140 and it was the best THING I have ever owned. It was awesome. Keeping it on the road was a job and a half. I restored my suspension to stock and it was absolutely amazing to drive; true luxury but also when pushed into corners the car would magically get smaller and more nimble. Insane. That little handle handle that pops out of the trunk is VERY expensive to repair; don't ever tell my wife. Broke my heart to sell it.
10:16 Grandma catching strays 😂
City of Toronto should have sponsored you (so far, let's wait for Montreal). How did you arrange all of the celeb content without that? Awesome content, excellent editing and your charisma together is unmatched. Keep it up!
What an absolute unit of a channel. You guys have such a great synergy of opinion, fact, approachable hosts, and superb production values. You bastards really knock it out of the park so often it's absurd. Really well done, guys. What a great team. What a great channel. Full stop.
Montreal would eat the BMW’s wheels for lite smack before finishing the Suspension for the main course😂. I hope I am wrong.
You guys are so rightfully outspoken on this. These days it's 99% marketing, 1% product. full width LED light bars, ambient lighting. Is this progress ? Complex ICE emission technology that in the real world doesn't even do 10% of what it is claimed to do but meanwhile decrease reliability... I wouldn't even lease a new car let alone own it.
0:24 has the price of their modern replacements actually gone up though? These were nearly 200k in the early to mid 90s...adjusted or inflation that's over 320k now...the modern S and 7 don't cost anywhere near that
Even the i7 is 120K Euro starting That while being way safer, and with a lot more features. That new 7 series back seat cannot be beat by these old cars.
They are in my country, with the V12 that is. If they still make them. The S600 is easily 300k +, as is the 760LI
For USD, the $95k MSRP for a 1995 750iL is equal to about $200k now. The 2025 760i only costs around $110k, just over half as much as in 1995 which is just crazy to me. I owned a 1997 750iL and it was an awesome car but it seems silly that it was worth $200,000 at one point. The new one is just so much better in technical terms (not at all in style and character though) yet costs half as much
The s63 is almost 300k euros
Your videos are always so creative, never stop!
Good work guys, greetings from Germany and happy new year!
Pre 00s BMWs are just timeless classics. I love all of them. Such a shame how they butchered the brand's identity in recent years.
And can we just take a moment and appreciate how incredibly sick those alpina wheels look on the E38?
Driving through Toronto and doing the food challenge makes this episode stand apart with classic TH-cam Foodie vibes. This almost makes me want road trip Canada.
Looking forward to a real V12 sound track.
As a Torontonian, it is great to see all my familiar neighborhoods. Thanks guys.
That 7er is fine. Still the best-looking 7 series ever.
When I realized what kind of video this was, I immediately stopped so I could set aside time to watch it all the way through without interruption! (edit) finished the episode. Excellent as expected. Sorry (soorry) about the equipment being stolen. Looking forward to the next episode!
12:51 as an aviation enthusiast,I never expected this crossover
wow, had 2 separate cars broken into within 2 episodes; Canada is absolutely in the bin.
Unfortunately it's true.
The E38 is also the last time Alpina mechanically touched the BMW V12. An Alpina B12 6.0 and a Brabus 7.3S are my dream cars. It's unfortunate the previous owners spoiled the look and comfort of the vehicles with the suspension change.
Amazing work. Such a genuine chemistry between this too and they are actually having a good time.
Man old BMWs are timeless. Love the great content. So sorry your items got stolen😢
Thank you gents for bringing Top Gear levels of entertainment to TH-cam. Cheers to all your success.
This was epic, best thing I’ve seen from any automotive TH-cam channels in a long time 👌👌
My VW Golf MK1 agrees that old cars were indeed better... my ears and spine do not
Get a Toyota century
@@tedarcher9120no. Toyota century is the most stupidly over hyped car in existence. Especially if you're used to a small light peppy hatchback and not a giant anemic boring boat.
These cars are LEGENDS Absolutely love
them
Both cars are still looks astonishingly good! The exterior and interior design is timeless! Pure class!
Automotive You tube.
THIS is how you plan/ film/ edit/ finance a road trip.
Period.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Another episode that shows you guys are the new, and better, TooGear. Excellent stuff. Can’t wait for episode 2.
Wouldn't be Christmas without a roadtrip video! Thanks guys!
