He does some great vids, a bit up himself, but all is forgiven as he's a proper petrol head and loves cars 8)

Slick, at least he can drive it as it's meant to be driven!

I was watching some naff modern 5th gear road test of an M3 E30, and the guy was too namby-pamby to use the performance!

I was just watching this and about to post it up here but was beaten to it. As speedtouch says it good to see it being driven as it should be.

even though it's an awesome car to drive, it's looking a bit lazy around those corners.. E30's look far more astute/planted under heavy cornering. because they are :)

Still have a soft spot for an e28m5 though

I wonder how much E28 M5's the really really good ones will be worth in 10years time out of interest?

Are these M5s more "fun to drive" than say newer M5s such as E34 M5 LE; E60 M5 (to anyone that has driven all of them)?

Chris Harris, who has driven them all, claims they don't compare and there isn't some unique BMW M5 DNA that run through them all. Although he says it would be nice to say that there really was.
