After visiting Richard Hammond at the smallest cog, i was confident that id just about finished the restoration on the e46 BMW m3 that i found abandoned at a race track but before i dropped it to the bodyshop to finish the paintwork i wanted to go and enjoy the car! What better place than the Nurburgring in Germany, the most intense and dangerous tracks in the world!

Peter really whipped out a throttle actuator for a 20 year old BMW after just a few minutes what a legend 😂

@tass2001 2 года назад

S54 throttle actuators and throttle position sensors are something I keep on standby for my own car. I’d hazard a guess that they last 75-100k miles, but when you need one, you need it right then.

@blue98jettavr6t Год назад

I lived about 55min from the ring and was able to take the drive over often. Sometime I would just hang out in the parking lot because I had a bad feeling. It was never a waist because of the scenic B road drive to the ring, cars and people you see at the Nordscheife, and the Autobahn on the way home was always so much fun. Mat I’m glad you got to experience that and share the moment with us.

@Explosivo93 2 года назад

There is another exit/entry on the Nordschleife at Breidscheid. It's on the right of the left turn on Breidscheid bridge after the slowest corner on the whole track. So pretty easy to find. You passed it at 15:15

@santiago1026 Год назад

In the moment of hearing your car give a warning sound and lose power, your mind isn't processing things like it normally does. It panics, and something "easy to find" becomes an afterthought

Big fan of the guy but his whole attitude to the ring was pretty poor, throttle actuator prob saved him a big accident tbh.

@buildanddrive 2 года назад

Agreed. TF is not for timed laps.

@sarcastixx74 2 года назад

Throttle actuators in these are famous for going wrong. In my old E46 M3 I always kept at least 2 spare in my glovebox, along with a MAF sensor. The front actuator is usually the culprit, but the one under the intake manifold can also go out. Actuators only cost about 45 quid brand new here, you got ripped off mate!!

Gotta say I love watching your videos but not so keen on this. Timing laps isn't on and is dangerous for you and other track users.

If it's something I've learned over the years is that you don't push to limits a 20 year old car, regardless of brand, unless you rebuild all critical systems with new parts. Electronics tend to break over time, I have one Vauxhall from 2005 which runs perfectly but from time to time I get a CAN BUS communication error, which goes away eventually. And I changed all possible sensors with new ones, only ECUs remained old.

Oil temperature rising must be a BMW thing I guess. We drive the 24h of Zolder (Belgium) in a BMW E90 325i. Last year temperatures during the race were like 35°C. The oil temp of the beemer was constantly around the 135-140°C range. We've driven like that for years, nothin to do about it. We just make sure to use decent synthetic 5W60 oil that can stand these temperatures. Dedicated fluids are always interesting if you're going to be pushing that hard for a long time. (brakes, oil,...)
