A 360, 992 GT3, New F Type and an X3 M40d. All cars that sam enjoys and not a single car bought for youtube. So happy to see you doing well with all the effort you put into the videos. My favourite automotive youtuber out there along with Carswithluke. Good going Sam!
It depends. From a certain point of view it is hilarious. But You have to remember, that he runs a delership with sports cars. He buys a car, drives it on a trip and after that sell it. It almoust like renting a car to him.
I think the pista was his special “secret” car that he had for these trips that he’s now selling, I don’t think he bought it just for the most recent teip
Ferraris also seem to ignore depreciation... As far as I've heard they stay around their listed value or just go up as long as you don't put too many miles on them
@@MarcinZaleski21 agreed! It means nothing ….. like a watching dealer buying a new watch to go on holiday knowing it’s basically new stock he’ll inevitably sell in the comings weeks.
I'm a bit sad you sold the RS6 as I kinda like the look of the car, but anyway, congrats on your car purchases. Your garage is getting big. You need to do a video on your new X3.
The x3 40d is literally perfect Sam. And the Mrs is happy, no? IDrive is the best Nav and you're that bit higher on the motorway, and still sensible size. Done!
No, I don’t think so, the reason I knew 2-3 days ago now is because I looked up Sam’s W100STG number plate on a website and it said Jaguar F-Type, I know shocker. Also what is a Marron?
Not at all surprised on RS6 going. Everyone seems disappointed in latest gen. X3 green looks great, would want a vifeo on it. And Can't wait to see f type!
The green looks great! Can't wait for the spec reveal on the GT3 and FINALLY, a new F-Type is coming to the channel, can't wait for Sunday, I do hope its red like the OG
Wow what a pod cast !! I so called it that Tony speal car was a pista!! Congrats on the gt3 ! And congrats on the new F-type I thought u be getting one when u had that loaner from jaguar so was jags way say here have this for awhile to we get urs built ?
Oh, I taught I wouldn't like the green but it actually looks mint👌 My 5 series is carbon black, beautiful colour but very hard to keep clean and swirl free. I say keep the wrap 🤙
Sad to see the Audi go. Surely the MPG must have been taken into account beforehand with such a purchase given fuel prices etc? Would've saved you the bother...
The green is not that bad, Sam. I would keep it until I get sick of it (which would happen eventually), then take it off and enjoy the beautiful carbon black. I had a 5-series Touring that color that looked awesome.
I really like the green, the wheels may need to be a shade darker. I love silver wheels but not sure they work with that spec car. Leave it, I think it’ll grow on you Sam 👍
That green isn’t too offensive on your X3..perhaps give it a chance.. it might grow on you.. Intrigued to see how Tony rates the STO vs a Pista, plus the STO is RWD unlike his previous Performante which was AWD. Great video as always!
Green on the X3 doesn't look too bright but for me wrapping that car is kinda silly. It sounds like it will look great in the standard carbon black/blue with the tan leather, and if you want to protect the paint just get it PPF'd. Appreciate that if there was some product placement involved then getting it wrapped would be a thing but as you said it won't appear on the channel I presume that's not the case here. I seem to remember when the lengthy process of next daily started and Sam gave his criteria whilst looking at the new Defender, I posted back then that the only car on his list that truly met his criteria was another X3! I once went out to buy a sensible cheap estate car to use as a daily so the sports car could be a weekend toy, and came back with a Jaguar XJ6 (XJ40) 4 litre Sport !
Hey Guys, Love your podcast and always watch it on RUclips. I have to take issue with the ongoing criticism of the SLK55 AMG (mainly by Tony). In this podcast at the 33.40 point you reference it as a low point in F1 pace cars. Firstly , it has to achieve specific performance targets to be allowed to act as the pace car for F1 and secondly, how amazing that a sports car at sub 911 money was deemed sufficiently fast without major mods to take on this very specialised role. I am a happy owner of an SLK 55 AMG and feel that this car has undeservedly been maligned since it’s introduction in 05. If it was so ropey, why did a certain Mr Jeremy Clarkson buy one prior to his ownership of his first Black series. The answer in print was he thought that it was one of the most fun cars that he drove on Top Gear in 2004 (see Fight Club for the actual video on RUclips). Sam if you ever fancy trying out a 2005 SLK 55, you are welcome to try mine.
First time ever anyone talks about the city I'm from, Bergamo, and it's only mentioned as an airport 😂 Btw can't wait for the GT3 content, you're gonna have a pretty epic garage!
Tony, if u guys think a STO is too special purpose, what do you think of the performante relative to the sto? i am debating bwtween evo and perf. Staying off STO because i dont want to risk losing a ton of $$. Perf is older but more raw, evo awd is newer and cheaper in the US. I owned perf coupe before but didnt like the visibility, like everything else about it. Pista and speciale is priced a lot higher here in the US than UK, makes little sense now to own them vs the 458 at less than half the price. But with your recommendation (vs f8/488) I will start to pay attention and perhaps grab one up in a couple of years (was never into turbo cars)
Most of us knew from the first film that the Audi was never going to be more than a holiday romance matey. I told you several times the X3 was a great vehicle for you.
PLEASE SAM, consider a brand new Macan GTS. It’s absolutely incredible as a daily driver. It has done everything that your X3M40i has done but better, it has more personality, it’s faster, quicker, louder, more comfortable, and it’s a Porsche. It would be a great hauler.
Chedi andermatt - best club sarnie Big issue you’ve not pointed out sadly is the risk of jail ~ the swiss are very keen on this at 145+ kmh on a motorway and therein the same issue at A or B road speeds with relative speed limit infractions It is NOT France or Italy
I going to be cryptic so as not to spoil but I hope the Jag is what I recommend to someone to make sure they got you in as the RUclipsrs main Jag lover
Cool show, thank you. How about going even a step further on the wrap: put a big roundel on it with STG right in the middle. Get some tax return possibly for business promo 😎👍
I’m really not sure why people obsess about the “10 year old Mercedes” infotainment in the Vantage. It works fine (although the standard speakers sound awful). It’s a fantastic car.
An idea for a future episode: the logistics of a road trip in Europe and how you guys go about planning these trips.
Great idea 👍🏼
Yes plus one to this idea!
They've done it already
100% left the green on X3! Looks totally normal for me. You´ve paid for it - you always can dewrap later. At least it looks different than the rest.
Yeah, this looks like a dark green to me. Not like a really dark green but darker than what I consider like middle of the pack green
100% agree. From the picture that green looks great

Tony casually buying a Pista for a trip is hilarious too me

@@ajcgolf69 Yep he told the audience at BTG live last year, when he'd got back from another driving trip in it, that his special car was a Pista
I actually think that green looks more elegant than the green on the Audi, which I felt looked a bit 'swampy'
Do a video on the X340D! Absolutely the right choice! U shud do an MPG test haha
Sam: "I get annoyed by cars that get too much hype, it's instant buzz kill"
Also Sam: "IM BUYING A GT3"
Lol, thought only I noticed that.
I thought that haaaaa. he chats some crap at times
He gets more hyped by "hype cars" than anyone I've seen lol
And an RS6 😂
RUclipsr in being a hypocrite shock
I like the green on the X3. I’d keep it. But if you totally hate it, then I guess you unwrap it.
I'm a bit sad you sold the RS6 as I kinda like the look of the car, but anyway, congrats on your car purchases. Your garage is getting big. You need to do a video on your new X3.
That green on the X3 looks incredible, I'd personally keep it!
Please bring back the bonnet stripe and dot on the new F type! I’m still obsessed with your first one!
Might be a project 7 🤷🏻♂️
Great episode again boys! Excited to see the F-Type!
The x3 40d is literally perfect Sam. And the Mrs is happy, no? IDrive is the best Nav and you're that bit higher on the motorway, and still sensible size. Done!
Good choice on the M40d. I also went from a X3 M40i to a M40d LCI on 1st June after waiting 9 months for the build. Loving the range and 700nm 👍
I already knew about the F-Type Days ago Sam, and the X3 looks great in the green you picked.
Ya didn't Archie point it out in one of his videos ? A maroon one i believe
No, I don’t think so, the reason I knew 2-3 days ago now is because I looked up Sam’s W100STG number plate on a website and it said Jaguar F-Type, I know shocker. Also what is a Marron?
Ok I clearly don’t watch Archie’s videos enough unless he buys a new car 😂
The green on the X3 looks fantastic Sam. I love the natural flow between you and Tony it’s very entertaining.
The casual chit chat format is definitely my favourite style of podcast 👌🏾 the green looks pretty subtle tbh, but I think that might be the photo
You should do a video explaining the various Porsche 911's as they seem so confusing to tell the difference between them all.
Lol explaining it is as hard!
Not at all surprised on RS6 going. Everyone seems disappointed in latest gen. X3 green looks great, would want a vifeo on it. And Can't wait to see f type!

Slowly becoming a podcast favourite 👏🏽
Andermatt to the Como ferry for Bellagio is not an hours journey - closer to 2 hrs (even in supercars) especially in the weather you mentioned.
Oh, I taught I wouldn't like the green but it actually looks mint👌
My 5 series is carbon black, beautiful colour but very hard to keep clean and swirl free.
I say keep the wrap 🤙
Sad to see the Audi go. Surely the MPG must have been taken into account beforehand with such a purchase given fuel prices etc? Would've saved you the bother...
Can’t be too dissimilar to the previous X3 in MPG. Not enough to be a huge worry anyway.
@@kevletmein a twin turbo 4l V8 600hp against a single turbo 3l i6 355hp………. I doubt they’d be close in terms of mpg pal.
I don't like podcasts. Except this one. Love it
Listen to Taste Buds or Bad Friends podcast. Super funny. There's tons of great pods out there.
So glad you have an F-Type again and giving back some love to Jag which gave you that convertible for ages without claiming it back!! TOP LADS!
22:07 - Tony's confirmation, "I like brakes", did me in.
Brilliant! F-Type and GT3 at the same time! Touring and Toy! Or will it be Touring and Touring?!
I did think the RS6 wasn’t going to be around for a long time when I watched the original main channel video on it.
Definitely do a video on the X340d 👍🏻 - great choice over the 40i.
The green is not that bad, Sam. I would keep it until I get sick of it (which would happen eventually), then take it off and enjoy the beautiful carbon black. I had a 5-series Touring that color that looked awesome.
That green is just right, give it some time, you'll like it.
I know your not a massive fan of black wheels Sam, but mate, that green with black wheels will look absolutely banging. Job done!
I really like the green, the wheels may need to be a shade darker. I love silver wheels but not sure they work with that spec car.
Leave it, I think it’ll grow on you Sam 👍

Congrats on the incoming cars, hard to think of a more deserving person to have these fine cars!
Look forward to the f type reveal this weekend! Love my firenze red p450 rwd can’t imagine what the 575 would be like!
It’s great that tony has Sam on as a guest each week
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
That green is class. Keep it…not too flashy at all.
First time ever anyone talks about the city I'm from, Bergamo, and it's only mentioned as an airport 😂
Btw can't wait for the GT3 content, you're gonna have a pretty epic garage!
Did I miss the recognition of 50k subscribers!!?
Green looks fine but maybe looks different out in the sun? Would a satin ppf change it enough...
That’s a pretty good garage: GT3, Jag F-Type, BMW X340d, Ferrari 360.
Just keep the wrap now it's on, protect the paint and in a year when it looks tatty then take it off. Ps, love the Carbon schwarz!
38:19 Tony using the force as the Sith Lord he is
Bergamo is actually quite a nice town. Not just an airport
bergamo is an amazing little town. definitely worth a visit. Especially, if you're in Europe with ryanair
Tony, if u guys think a STO is too special purpose, what do you think of the performante relative to the sto? i am debating bwtween evo and perf. Staying off STO because i dont want to risk losing a ton of $$. Perf is older but more raw, evo awd is newer and cheaper in the US. I owned perf coupe before but didnt like the visibility, like everything else about it. Pista and speciale is priced a lot higher here in the US than UK, makes little sense now to own them vs the 458 at less than half the price. But with your recommendation (vs f8/488) I will start to pay attention and perhaps grab one up in a couple of years (was never into turbo cars)
Archie Already reviled your new f type he says “sams f type brand new” it start to his vid on fos
Congrats on the car purchase but I wonder if you'll get bored of the F Type quickly.
green looks good! your garage is insane now I can't wait for you Porsche to get to you the content is going to be insane!
Most of us knew from the first film that the Audi was never going to be more than a holiday romance matey. I told you several times the X3 was a great vehicle for you.
Heatwave in the UK....31 degrees....Come to Sydney in Summer haha
That looks great in the green mate, not a mistake at all! Would like to see it on the channel!
Looks nice man. Keep the wrap !
Man, so sad to see you selling the RS6
My first video of your channel was of your RS6 so I have a lot on nostalgia about that car.
PLEASE SAM, consider a brand new Macan GTS. It’s absolutely incredible as a daily driver. It has done everything that your X3M40i has done but better, it has more personality, it’s faster, quicker, louder, more comfortable, and it’s a Porsche. It would be a great hauler.
Chamonix is very much in France. I live there! Be careful in the tunnel though, it’s a huge fine and confiscation of the vehicle if you speed.
Personally would love to see a vid on the X3, almost more interesting to me than the supercars! Do a sound system test too if you got the HK.
Best paranormal activity I have seen for some time! Your new place is haunted Sam
The green is superb! Definitely keep it!
Also didn't realise, you can delete the livery and rear wing on the f1 edtion vantage, looks amazing in the green 👌🏾
The green is fine Sam, looks like the Alfa Romeo green.
Green looks great and is very similar to my Mini Coppers S British Racing Green IV
Turbo S has to be the one supercar that does everything!
Until the Dakar arrives ;)
its just too fast for them roads on the mountains, id end up off a bridge!
@@dehydratedvital 😂
The green looks great you need to wearing glasses more Sam 🤣🤣🤣. Tony in an SF90 Spider with the track pick in it
Tony is getting in to a 992RS surely surely surely!!!
When they come I mean, til then we haven’t seen him talk about a 2RS much??
Tony had a Performante and you didn't get to drive it? Could it be an insurance thing or you were just never interested?
Sad to see it going, but makes complete sense
ALREADY?!?
Really like the green… keep it for sure
Great show lads, the green looks good to me
I personally really like the green on the X3. I think it looks great 👍
Sam I can’t handle your headphones being lopsided 😂
Chedi andermatt - best club sarnie
Big issue you’ve not pointed out sadly is the risk of jail ~ the swiss are very keen on this at 145+ kmh on a motorway and therein the same issue at A or B road speeds with relative speed limit infractions
It is NOT France or Italy
Bergamo is a city, and a very nice one, BTW. Bergamo Airport is not in Bergamo at all, it's at Orio al Serio. Cheers from Italy
The green is stunning mate!
That green 😂 for a daily! Sam you may as well get huge STG sticker’s all over it!
So excited to see a Porsche back on the channel!!!!!
sam loving the podcast but was wondering if you were gonna updating the intro
I’m doing backflips for the f-type! Finally!!!!!! It better be good!!!!!!
I don’t think the X3 is too green. It’s nice. Although in full sun it would probably pop up more.
Leave the green, actually looks amazing.
Green looks nice!!!! It would be cool to show it on an episode of STG!
X3: Saudi Green, Looks good actually.
GT3: manual Signal Green
F-Type: BRG manual V8
💚💚💚
Tony: GT4RS 😉
F Type is red aha
Green looks alright to me
I going to be cryptic so as not to spoil but I hope the Jag is what I recommend to someone to make sure they got you in as the RUclipsrs main Jag lover
beautiful green!!
Looks fine to me, quite like that green
The green is not as bad a I thought it would be, but still gopping!
The ftype is back babyyyy lets goooo
Actually thats a cool colour for the BMW. You could go camo on it, but keep that base colour.
Maybe its different in person, but that photo make it look pretty good!
Love the Green on the X3.
SO X3 and GT3. Perfect 2car garage.
I think the green looks awesome but maybe a bit loud for your daly
Cool show, thank you. How about going even a step further on the wrap: put a big roundel on it with STG right in the middle. Get some tax return possibly for business promo 😎👍
