- This video I finally complete the legendary North Coast 500 which runs just over 500 miles round the top of the Scottish Highlands.
Some stunning roads, scenery and nasty stone chips!
Oh my GOD, that intake sound!!!!! Beautiful driving roads, what a trip :)
She does make one hell of a sound 😎 back to the Alps in the V8 this time in a few months hopefully 👌
@2:40 mark. I listened to that part numerous time! Love the build, great job.
Thanks, it does make a mega noise 😎
The car sounds spectacular... The views of Scotland are spectacular.... What a vid... Pleased you enjoyed yourselves.
Thanks 😎 plenty more road trips planned in the e46 M3 once the lock down lifts 👍
Just come across this on my recommended, I live in Thurso on the 500 route glad people are enjoying it. Love the induction note from the m3 as well!
It’s a fantastic route, feels like your abroad in parts with the roads, views & beaches 😎
EPIC car, EPIC scenery, EPIC video!
Thank you, certainly had plenty of fun recording it all 😎
Amaaaazing sound 😍😍😍 what a airbox beast 😃
I would check your sensible subframe after this journey...
Sub-frame has been plated by ETA Motorsport so should hopefully be holding up 😬
lovely trip and amazing sound
Thanks 👍
Enjoyed that. I’m supposed to be doing this in a few weeks time. The CSL sounded epic.
Glad to hear Sam 👍 wicked place, just gotta keep your fingers crossed the weather holds up 😎
Yes, James, Still never too much “ Air Box Glory”!,, I definitely had to make some Volume Adjustments using Ear Plugs, but Awesome, regardless..
Yep head phone user warning had to be placed on the cover photo 😂😎
Just come across your channel - I'm mainly interested in your E46 M3 content. Im a bloke in my early 20's saving up for one, as the car has huge sentimental value to me because of my father. Your content is absolutely fantastic, and brings back a lot of those memories. Thank you, and I hope your channel continues to grow
Hi Harry, glad your enjoying the e46 M3 content (plenty of it on the channel) the cars a forever one for me so lots more to come including a full “4 years later” recap that I’m putting together currently 👍
Good luck on your search for one, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed re-living those memories when you get yours 👌
Yes I enjoyed learning how to compression test a car I don't even own yet haha. Thanks for the reply
😂
Looked an epic trip mate
Was mega fun 😁
Im finally heading up there tomorrow to do this. I have about a week if needed though. Starting on the east coast though.
Picked good weather for it 😎
East side had two speed camera vans and saw 1 un-marked on the west side so keep an eye on the speed, some National parts you will struggle to touch 40 mph then others you think you could do 3 times that lol
Great review of the North Coast. Considering the other cars you own and get to drive, does the E46 ever feel lacking in power esp after your upgrades?
Thanks 😊 It’s funny because i get asked this a lot more so as I ride the motorbikes which is a completely different level of speed, the E46 M3 just communicates with you so well and the S54 power unit has such predictable & rewarding power curve that it always excites.
The e92 is the faster car on a run but masks it speed with its weights and large size.. The modifications have really transformed the e46 over the years and the 4.1 makes it feel a lot faster in real world conditions as your pulling through the revs so much faster.
Still more planned for the e46 but I really need to start building a larger garage to house all these toys 🙈
@@stoneautomotive Good to know as I do have the 4.1 myself but keep thinking wether I should continue, as you know mods are expensive on the M3s. Will you do Cams at some point?
Oh yes they are certainly not cheap to tune, even harder without forced induction! You can never say never but other than maintenance to the engine I have no plans for cams as it’s big outlay for small gains! I accept there are many faster cars out there for the money but suspension + rear brake upgrades are the only plans left for the e46 as it’s where I want it to be now. Need to get it back to the ring 😎
@@stoneautomotive Now if you can somehow manage your e92 m3 vs e46 m3 that would be a very interesting vid. Course the E92 will be quicker but would be interesting to see how much of a difference there is with your mods.
Sub 100mph my money would be on the e46 M3, the plan’s is to put the two together soon 😈 I did want to wait till the e92 had the pre-cats out to give it some more mid-range as the e46 has had plenty more mods installed
Got to ask a few questions... National speed limit? Also some of those roads look lime one way roads because it’s only wide enough for 1 car? Beautiful scenery, CSL jealously.. never got those in the 🇺🇸
Hi George, National speed limit in the UK varies - typically single carriage way is 60mph / dual carriage way 70mph. Yes parts are tight & 60mph was more than enough allowance given the tight winding roads 👍
The roads were 2 way with “passing slots” so you could find yourself reversing back to one if you encounter another car so certainly better to go when it’s not summer holidays 👍
Yea heard you guys in the states got short changed for the sale of the CSL!
@7:02 that's not where thurso is 😂
Shhhhhhh the secret will be out - I couldn’t find it on IMovie map locater 😂
I did wonder when the locals would spot that 👀 still working on becoming a better editor (along with many other aspects of RUclips life lol) hope the rest of the video was worth the watch 👍
Full English...nahhhh...that’ll be a full Scottish 😂
Little bit like when I went to Wales and had the full Welsh 🤷♂️
🤣
