You should perform more off-road testing with new cars. Maybe not quite as tough, but the old slick slope testing and what not for new xdrive, quattro, and 4matic vehicles.

E46 320i was my first car (currently e92m3) with 160tkm. I named her dolly. I was 21 years old and was in an apprenticeship for 3 years. I was barely able to maintain it (I didn’t have a lot of money). 3 years hard pressing it. It drove and never ever let me down. I had incredible fun, stories with it until I sold it in 2014 with 230tkm to some guy who wanted to sell it export. I wonder where u are dollly and I hope someone is taking care of you.
it probably ended up in Bulgaria or in Romania, with reversed clocks, and sold for double the amount you got for it... Also if you're british, it was probably made left hand drive, but the lock on the driver door and the memory of the seats (if it had memory seats) remained on the same side :D
@@T_Alexandrov_47 No i selled it to some syrian dude. I always thought maybe it was used as a technical with a machine gun upgrade fighting against IS or something. poor dolly.
When reversing, a front-wheel drive car becomes not only rear-wheel drive but also rear-engine. But it didn't happen. The gasket between the steering wheel and the seat failed)
i LOVE that you guys are keeping TOP Gear alive.. in the form of SIMILAR... TYPE GEAR style events with, yes sometimes supercars on this channel, but also NORMAL everyday sports cars, even old sports sedans like these, awesome.
I'm from Belarus. and which Audi 2.0 Avant was my first car. in 2014 spent $6,000. After all, I can say one thing: the car is still reliable and comfortable. Problems with oil consumption, but I'm used to it. It’s a little sad to look at such stress tests. I rooted for Audi in both series.
The Audi seem to have an inch more ground clearance. That can make a big difference here. You guys had fun! And fun to watch! BTW. Mat jumped the start again at 19:20. The grand finale is priceless! LOL
Thousands of perfectly working cars get scrapped in the UK for having minor issues, or owners not wanting to deal with selling them cheaply and scrapping them is easer and faster, and no need to deal with the type of people who usually buy those cars
SUV’s are very annoying to be fair. Just massive on the road, massive in car parking spaces and block the view of the road for drivers in normal cars behind.
Yes, but I Like my 2012 Q5 with Quattro (s-line, 3.0 TDI, s-tronic) and do Not concern mud or snow. I am even in summer tires over here in Germany because I had no time to pull the winter tires on before Christmas. I'll skip winter tires this year. And to be fair: my Audi A6's before were all way taller
I know maybe Benz with the racing driver wasnt the best here, and its not cars fault obviously, but it was definitely the most stylish ... Love the video!❤
At the end I was expecting to see something like that scene from The Blues Brothers where they arrive at the office building in Chicago and their car just had enough and falls completely apart.
I thoroughly enjoy that y’all do badass drag races with jeskos and Bugattis and top gear style just blokes good ole driving lemons till the tires come off.

Ok👍
Not in South Africa 😢

That's Old Top Gear levels of fun! Well done boys!!
actually enjoy these offroad stuff more than the drag races.

Check out Hell on Earth for more of that, if you've not seen them. Good stuff.
Brilliant content carwow
Yep
Might’ve been the funniest Carwow video I’ve seen, that Audi with no tire was hilarious
I totally agree xD I really wasn't expecting such a funny video by carwow
that Audi went from FWD to one wheel drive
And with one wheel drive it was only half a second slower than the BMW @@wanderingbufoon

LOVED the Audi dismount from the jack. That’s the proper way to do it.
waaay more entertaining than drag racing
100% agree. Hope they uploaded this more often.
Matt Watson is a Sore Loser
Let's not go that far. Drag racing is what this channel does.
@@josemontesinos8529 Which is not entertaining.
@@josemontesinos8529 And that is low key boring, I have never in my life seen any drag racing that was actually fun to watch etc
I think we can all agree that Audi was the most impressive of the lot!
FWD does wonders for traction tbh. Reminds me of that time dad and I waded through a shallow mud bog with a Focus C-Max lmfao
In what kind of delusional world was audi impressive? LoL
Still looks good, aged well unlike the merc
Wow, I almost didn't recognize these guys. Good job on disguises, Clarkson, Hammond and May!
Best part is Clarkson, Hammond and May decided to be entertaining and not annoying in this episode as well! About time!
Me too
24:47 Unemployed friends on a Thursday morning
These are more fun to watch than a normal drag race
No.
This and a drag race
You should perform more off-road testing with new cars.
Maybe not quite as tough, but the old slick slope testing and what not for new xdrive, quattro, and 4matic vehicles.
stolen comment bot
The low-cut tires on the Merc are a big off-road disadvantage, but still a great video
19:05 was wholesome
My 2000 A6 4.2 was a beast in the snow.
SEAT CORDOBA and Cupra also.
2001 A6 4.2 owner here, can confirm 😂
I love this series and when matt gets his hands on old cars and not afraid to drive them like a maniac
I missed this kind of videos for long (so funny) 😂😂
Last time we saw this rolling offroad drag race was 2 months ago in fact.
@purwantiallan5089 Yeah anyways I really like when they do this kind of vids 😂
I have the avant model. My heart was hurting like it was mine on this video.
same, i have c200 kompressor, and the interior is the same colour :D
@ my had the same issue with the roof falling ahahahahah
Same 2002 audi a4 owner
At 5:15 mat wtf was that moan that you let out 😂💀
The editor missed a golden opportunity there 😂
5:14
Sounded like a kazoo 🤣
This deserves a pin 🤣🤣
These type of videos are more fun than the usual ones
You guys should do more offroad tests with new cars again.
Maybe not quite this harsh but the old slick slope tests and what not for new xdrive, quattro, and 4matic etc vehicles
I think I remember them doing that on a ski slope a few years back
Like Lancer Evo X vs Old Audi?
Yeh this was a great idea IMO. Prob cheaper than the gas for drag racing a bunch of super cars as well lol
Nah they should abuse the cybertruck
Let's have EVs too... It'll be even more fun to have an EV 'Suv' go through some real challenges.
1:55 Graham falling in slow motion left me winded😂😂😂
26:36 what else can you do with these cars my god 😂😂😂
they usually drain the oil and see which engine can last the longest
@@kwardozzyes they do
But seeing this makes me think they have something else in store for these little beaters
That E46 definitely aged the best
Off-road expert intro of Graham gets me everytime. Lol
Carwow editors are the best❤
Off road and gone to ground 😂
Same type of contest with all wheel drive versions would be fun!

You should do more of these cheep car off road tests! They are great! Keep it up!!!!
13:39 Mat's overjoy kills me every time 🤣
And we love him for that😊
From someone who owns an E46, this was massively enjoyable to watch!
Monoblocks for this is insane 😂
Worth a bit of money too... well, not any more!😂
I was gonna say this too.. if they rather send it to me for my merc😂
searhed for this comment. I was like: "Da hell, what them rims doin on that thing?!!"
Gotta appreciate that you picked the lowest-riding 2-wheel drive cars you could find for this. Makes it much more interesting
1:59 That was a bad presentation of "lovely Graham" 😂😅
When reversing, a front-wheel drive car becomes not only rear-wheel drive but also rear-engine. But it didn't happen. The gasket between the steering wheel and the seat failed)
What was that noise at 5:14?
Yea wtf😂
would have loved to see how quattro Audi compared. One of the best episodes to date.
Let’s face it, the Audi is the winner and the safest bet here.
No one is saying it bcs bmw fans are crying
Audi did the best but BMW looks the best
@@binflydushyYou wish... That Audi style is top, even by todays standards
nah bmw def looks more decent

Great video! I used to have a 325i e46 which looked like the e46 in the video. Such a great car, I still miss it .
325i E46 has great drivability also.
That hug for nic was personal
Been waiting for this video for a long time
This is like prime top gear!! Yall should do more vids like this this was sick!
Heartbreaking seeing a nice set of monoblocks get destroyed
This was EASILY the most entertaining carwow video I've ever watched, loved the classic Top Gear vibe!!!
carwow becoming the iconic top gear we love 🙏
Far better than TG ever was to be honest.
gap in the market
1000 pound rims on the merc.... painful to watch
Yea, i saw those monoblocks too, even if those wheels was fake i wouldnt mind having them 🥲👍
they’re not £1000 😂
@@jeejabuaja then do some research 🤑
They just hate mercedes, even the new ones with power and potential, they don't give them any chance 😂

They're never gonna let Graham live down that fall😂

What's more impressive is the go pros holding on for dear life😂😂😂😂
so... should i shortlist it?
The odd thing is that we still use and preserve as new the same exact cars in Greece...
The odd is that they ruined perfectly working cars...

In Greece we would sell each one of those three for 6k or even more🤡
@@Inspyrus you can get english cars for half price anywhere in europe, tho no one wants right hand drive
yeah i daily w203 with 190k km, and watching how they trashed it, just seems odd :D

yup bits falling off

This gen A4 with 1.9tdi and 6 speed manual in front wheel drive is the ultimate German machine from this era...if looked after then unrivalled
Would have been the ultimate, if it had quattro.
MY FAV VIDEO TYPE IS BACK 🔥
This was such a joy to watch. Please more of this just a couple of lads having a damn good time.
"OLD"??? They are barely 25 years old, In Poland we consider it as MINT-BRAND NEW-STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY. Shut up.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Right? I finally got my 97 broken in. She purrs.
your from poland?
@@johnwish-f4j yeah
all of them have such nice wheels. this was torture

14:37 What is your gender?
My GeNder..... I'm a Mekanik 😂😂
In 20 years time people will watch this video in horror as 3 classic cars are needlessly ruined
These will never be considered "classics" especially not in almost base spec and right hand drive.
Its 2025, 2000 model year cars are technically classics.
LOVE from Hungary, really appreciate the hard work & all these crazy ideas! Watching you kinda gives me old TopGear vibes.
I don’t think it’s fair to show the time to ur competitors.. the person next will always Puch it a lil harder if they see the times beforehand
Doesn't matter. They'll still be limited by their experience and talent, regardless if they know the time or not.
Nah. Go big or go home, everytime
Love the car jack dismount. Not quite up there with Whistling Diesel, but still good.
Spoiler alert: the german car won!
this video was amazing. Make more like these. It just feels like having fun with the boys
Bro stop reviewimg these same cars again and again 😂
Please do more of this. Brilliant the new TG show and more interesting people.
Spoiler alert the German car won
Best video so far, these 3 together are hilarious 😂
I love when you guys do it to regular cars, keep on goin!
That's your best off-road yet.......sooooo much fun to watch
Well done lads
The only reason i bought an SUV is that when its a snowy morning, I want to get in my car and drive through a meter of snow without shovelling.
The best video I have seen this year. The Audi dropping on the way down and still being the slowest was priceless!
Looks like you guys had a blast ... and you conveyed that to us as well! Awesome video, enjoyed it, had a good laugh seeing it! :)))
This was really good fun! First video in a while i've watched from start to end!
Seeing my c180 compressor compete is a dream🥹🥹
THIS WAS SUCH A TOP GEAR/GRAND TOUR TYPE OF VIDEO!!! DO MORE!
🤩🤩
3 guys having fun wreaking old car on a muddy land while doing a series of challenges….bring back so many memories 🥹
Graham falling long time ago with WASTED effect, was the best nostalgic laugh this week for me. Thank you
I know maybe Benz with the racing driver wasnt the best here, and its not cars fault obviously, but it was definitely the most stylish ...
Love the video!❤
At the end I was expecting to see something like that scene from The Blues Brothers where they arrive at the office building in Chicago and their car just had enough and falls completely apart.
But the BMW is the only one which lost its bumper, that's a -100 points.
OMG I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! Goodjob carwow looking forward for other episodes!!!
Finally again some offroad tests without SUVs, Crossovers and Pickups XD
I thoroughly enjoy that y’all do badass drag races with jeskos and Bugattis and top gear style just blokes good ole driving lemons till the tires come off.
On a serious note, any one of those three cars would be an absolute joy to some kid somewhere in this world.
Still a fun video
