Watching Clarkson trying to charge the i8 is more entertaining than an episode of new Top Gear
On the other hand being run over by a train is probably more entertaining than an episode of new Top Gear.
This is schhhhutipd!
Thease new guys are terrible
Yeah but at least they have their Grand Tour show now.
It’s staged, it’s not complicated at all lol. Similar to the Tesla Roadster “breakdown.” Still hilarious and entertaining.
155mph and 134mpg... but never at the same time
Only when Clarkson high on meth
It gets 76 MPGe. I have no clue where Jeremy is getting 136.
Actually it seems like it gets 69, going off a .gov site and not wikipedia
@@hmorris The us gallon is not bigger than the imperial
@@hmorris US Gallon is nearly 0.2 Gallons smaller than Imperial if I’m not wrong.
seeing the i8 in person is still a sight to behold even today. it really looks like something 20 years ahead of its time
Yeah, say what you want about the performance figures but BMW really knocked it out of the park with the styling on that car.
it looks like something you would expect today.
Update… My cousin just bought one for herself 2ish weeks ago 😂
Agreed - the styling is sensational! A thing of beauty! Batteries probably dying by now though, surely?
Probably one of the most underrated and misunderstood cars of the century by internet kids that can only read a spec sheet. Superb GT cruiser with spaceship looks and very good performance. Even it's 100-200 time, where you'd expect the electric motor to die, is not far off a stock m3
"A range of 20 miles, 19 more than the Prius"
Jesus that hit hard
Even after 8 years I still think the i8 is such a gorgeous car
8 years and it looks like it's first year of production is 2024. Timeless design.
Agreed, they could release it tomorrow and no one would question it, I know people say that alot but for the i8 it's actually true I think
Bro its so fuckin ugly wdym?
Some bloke bought a used baby blue M3 demo car, having thought it was driven by the manager. The car started making some weird clunks and noises very short after he bought it. Whilst he was watching a re-run of this particular episode, he saw that the BMW Jeremy was trashing round the track had the exact number plates as his BMW, which has quite a lot reliabilty problems. So he blamed Clarkson for breaking the car and the dealer for selling it to him.
is this supposed to be a tale or a true story
Bosnia Oneil but bmw is known to drift their demo cars and abuse heavily, so its his own fault lol
Makrinus nope the dealership who sold them should have known about it. Unless he bought it as a second hand car. It snot his fault tho.
@@leepicgaymer5464 He bought it as a second hand car, but the dealer said nothing about being used at a track in the past
The reality is, it serves himself right for buying a used performance car like it's gonna be in showroom condition when you can guarantee it's been thrown around...unless it's been owned by a wet fart.
Did the guys in the background at 6:50 and 6:55 stand in the same place for 1 hour? Hahahah
LOL fail
probably came back
they are animatronics
Nah they just waited so they could be on camera
they were capturing b-roll while it charged
Still milking Clarkson for views...
+Jarl Ballin' No, they're using their content as is their right.
DerekHartley Maybe so, but what happens when the Clarkson clips run out?...
+Jarl Ballin' As they're just showing highlights from last season they'll presumably move on to highlights of next season.
***** no help required but thanks for your concerns gayboy
mrhard2000uk Don't project your emotions onto others. Go get help. Stay off the internet till you do...
I want top gear back :(
Don't worry they are going to do a similar show on amazon prime
they will be back next year on amazone prime
+243kingfrank yeah can't wait !!
+243kingfrank I dont want to pay for it thought....
in my country we don't even have amazon prime:/
This is the reason why I want an M3, but rather that I'll wait for the 2016 M2.
+Trap Nation Ah, so you're a Top Gear fan :p
Hell yeah, it's like an E46 M3 but more modern and with all those cool bells and whistles :p
+Y0GI B3AR have u heard engine nosie? its nothing like e46.....
+Trap Nation M2? Seriously? An M version of the pathetic FWD MPV? xD
RÅLAND M2 an MPV? Are you suuuure?
BMW should make a faster version of the i8 with their 6 cylinder in it...
Why not 7 :))))
Ivan 8
it would be slower with a 6 cylinder.
i-8 M-Sport :)
They are; the i9 is in development but still heavily under wraps. Pressure coming from the 918 and mclaren
You know what's funny? The M3 he used was brought by a guy that complained of mechanical issues then he saw his car on top gear...yeah not good.
+Mr Dusty Well I would say the fault was more with the dealership selling it as if it was straight out of the factory, they could at least have had a mechanic look at it before putting it back in the showroom.
i think its the main reason they upload this.
+Mr Dusty I'd buy it off him if he doesn't want it. xD
+Viktor Gleisner Yeah dealership would be at fault but I believe as the story was told, the customer was told the vehicle was driven as a demo/manager or something. I'm not too sure about the specifics but in cases press cars can be sold to the public and not told specifically they were press cars so you might just think it's used or something when in fact it's been beaten on. The customer took the car back to the dealer who took it back and gave him a BMW 330d plus whatever the difference was (and maybe something for his trouble?)
+Mr Dusty He exchange it for a 5 series now plus some free maintenance program
Some guy bought that exact BMW M3 from a dealer not knowing it was featured on Top Gear. Apparently couple days into owning the M3 there were signs of various problems. One day the owner and his girlfriend were watching this exact Top Gear episode when his girlfriend realised the number plate on the M3 on the show matched the one he owns. Straight away he called the dealer of where he bought the M3 from and they said that the vehicle wasn't meant to be sold due to being trashed on Top Gear and being classed as a unsuitable vehicle to drive.
Somehow I feel like he could sell it for more than it's worth too a top gear fan.
this is utter trash ...
for those who didn't see the episode, he chose the i8 in the end :)
+Justas Griškevičius oh uh... spoiler alert
+Justas Griškevičius ajajai koks tu kietas :-D
I think they'll post part 2 soon
+Justas Griškevičius in the talky part after they show the film during the episode Jeremy actually says he changed his mind. just worth noting.
+Justas Griškevičius But in the very end he said that i8 was rubbish...
I've driven the M4 Coupé and the i8. Both are awesome cars.
I'd pick the M4 though. It has just so much more character.
DimensiiioN the i8 is flashy and the m4 is just classy
M4? Don't you mean 2 door M3.
@@whishiwhooshi5783 You know, the purpose of the M4 is just that, an M3 coupe.
So did I and I bought the i8. Similar performance, i8 better economy and looks better
@@teletubbypo318 you dont buy these cars for economy tho let's be honest.
was this the same M3 that the poor bloke bought but didn't know that Jeremy trashed it on a track?
Yeah
I felt bad for the sport. I'm happy he got the matter resolved.
Mark X how’d you find this out?
Lucifers Mechanic you are an idiot who probably drives a Toyota Prius
@@user-ru1eq7tw4y You wouldn't be choosing a car that falls apart pretty fast if you were a dictator, would you? And BMW doesn't build muscle cars. Stick to watching NASCAR mate, we out here watching Mercedes dominate F1.
I love how Clarkson's analogies always seem to make sense
Funny story, a man actually had that same exact M3 press car sold to him.
+TheAventadorSV Yeah I heard about that. Apparently his M3 was a constant source of problems because it was thrashed on the track and it developed all sorts of mechanical faults. Partly because these cars have very little mileage and the engine isn't properly, or at all, run-in or whatever you call it and also because that doing that to any car will damage it. Still, I would love to have a car featured on Top Gear even if it would fall apart if you were to drive it, I just want to have one :D
@100411081420966204441 Yeah having a car featured on Top Gear in the studio would be nice not the actual review units that are driven like that.
Dimitar Ivanov Lol
+Keshav Gopaul he went to the papers blaming top gear but it was the dealership who declared it to be fit for the road. Worrying though that it could've had new number plates put on it and nobody would've ever known.
My E63 was on Top Gear, luckily the one in the studio, not the one thrashed around Manchester airport. :)
Jeremy was what made Top Gear what it was. Chris Harris is truly a lovable character and great reviewer indeed. Top Gear won't be the same never again.
Though it shouldn't be since it's not. I think that Chris is the best car enthusiast out there!
Honestly nobody can review cars as well as Clarkson does.
He is a very good reviewer of cars.
Would be nice if the full version was uploaded.
3:59 "The best fish and chips... Bouse ...In the world"
2:26: "..because today we live in strange times; environmental times.." LOL
5:48 "whatever it is" 😂😂😂😂😂
"you should buy this, immdeitely.. " *get's my credit card out, entering into BMW* "or should you?" -_-
Nice credit card u have.
apparently some guy actually bought that exact M3 and didn't know it had been whupped around a track, the suspension was all messed up and he started complaining.
tbh In that situation I'd put the car up on a pedestal and charge 5 dollars to sit in it; it's been driven by blessed hands.
give us the rest of the review mate! this one is one of the best review and I want the whole clip!
Soundtrack like always, amazing. Hearing stuff like Kavisnky's Blizzard just makes my heart warm.
I think the i8 is one of, if not the most beautiful hybrid right now on the market.
2015: We live in strange times......
2020: Hold my Guinness.......
It's great to see synthwave gaining more popularity.
bbc`s biggest mistake ever was to fired those guys
+SpeedFreak true, still a mistake.. they should have fired the guy who ever had the idea to fired one of them, other bad idea is the usa version on top gear.
+studio571 Keep in mind, they only fired Clarkson because he physically assaulted someone on the staff. Hammond and May left on their own accord because Clarkson was fired.
+bbqBaconNinja , yes i realised that, clarkson said he was sorry but they didnt want forgive..
studio571 The other comments didn't show up when I made mine.
The problem was, he had many "last chances" over the years and this was the final straw. It's just too bad people think that behaviour is ok and an apology will make everything better. Clarkson is a man child and if you let him get away with something, he will do it again.
+bbqBaconNinja yes but still bbc is the biggest looser on this game..
I may watched this episode 5 times and every time I watched it I still enjoying it.
6:52 Jeremy leaves to get a coffe
6:55 An hour later these 2 dudes still watching the BMW
If you believe that it was an hour..
@@taunokekkonen5733 if you believe that i believe that... 😋
I cant enjoy Clarkson content in full HD. I want 360p like the old days
I went back to the car and found the same two guy standing there from a hour ago! LOL😂🤣😆
"After an hour" guys in the back are still standing there haha
They probs filmed it while Clarkson was in drinking his coffee
Those must be the two prettiest BMWs I've ever seen! And that hybrid! Gorgeous.
6:40 me laughing like a sprinkler
very nice document!! I enjoy it :)
M3 is almost perfection
M3 Signature dish is a power slide into the repair shop !
well a new M3 GTS has done 50.000km almost exclusively at the hands of racing drivers on the nürburgring and it's still working, so not really.
I have seen two or three of them in this color way,they look fantastic,nothing else on the road looks like them.
I just watched this episode yesterday and I really want the I 8
I can't believe no one else has commented on it yet. The M3 in this very review is the one that a guy bought, and found it to be a bit broken. This was national news a few days ago!
This is the same BMW that was later sold at a dealership as “new”, but had a TON of issues after being on Top Gear
"It is like wrestling the tail of an excitable crocodile...."..."Unmatchable" commentary, keeps the audience glued to the screen...Clarkson was the unicorn so were May and Hammond and even more so the three together.
That's the nicest looking 4 door I've seen yet.
Essa BMW M3 é tão bonita que dá até dor de cabeça 🤯🤯🤯
The I8 has the special distinction of being the one supercar I’ve had the honor of sitting in at an auto show. It was cool and all, but getting in and out was a bit annoying because the scissor doors kept hitting my head. I think it’d be a good car to experiment with on a weekend, but the more conventional M3 would be a better daily driver
It is not a supercar in the slightest lol, ask any German. It's something to keep the faux environmentalist happy while the real enthusiasts gap them in their AMG's and Porsche's
@@bluemutt9964 well I referred to it as a super car in the loosest sense of the term. I know it won’t beat its peers and it’s just more of an experiment by bmw, but it looks cool and I do feel honored to have encountered one.
For those who are probably wondering what the song in the beginning is:
Kavinsky - Blizzard
I am still surprised electronic powersteering ever got traction in sporty cars. I immediately notice even in fast bends on the autobahn. I so prefer hydrolic, even in day to day drives.
0:38 vigourous camera shake
I feel sorry for the guy who bought this exact M3
why? well, becasue it was driven by a sacked man?
@@netweed09 no you idiot because it was thrashed on the track and developed all sorts of mechanical problems
Funny thing is, A Toyota.. or any Japanese car For that matter, would be fine after this. It’d drive you to the track, around the track and back home again. It’s a BMW, what do you expect. It’s one of the most expensive car brands to maintain. It’s designed to be the greatest a car can be.. momentarily. Like an overrated German Alfa.
@@franktherabbit42 are you dumb how can you compare a economy vehicle from Japan and a luxury sport vehicle
Awh, poor butthurt BMW fairies. No. I work on them often. They’re overrated. Simple. And that dude. I said “Something Japanese” not “Japanese economy car”.. read it properly first, dumbass..
Nice! Prodigy's Run With The Wolves at 1:08!
I remembered reading somewhere that someone had bought that exact blue hoon by Clarkson M3 for a cheap price..
why do you keep uploading this they arent your presenters anymore. you sacked them
+Cameron Dempster Well, the series recorded up till now are still their property. So they can technically do whatever they want with them.
Why does SNL show old Will Ferrell sketches, he left there years ago.
But BBC want the RUclips m m m money
+Cameron Dempster a) no they didn't and b) it's their material, they can do what they like with it. It would have been in their contract like everyone else's.
They only sacked Clarkson. Hammond and May found out about it and decided “ nah. If he’s not coming back, we aren’t either. Piss off BBC”
The M3 is and continues to be the only car from BMW I'd ever consider buying if I had the cash. What a brilliant car.
Regardless of how good a BMW is as a sensible german its hard to buy one. Theres always this wiff about BMW drivers thinking they own the road and dont need to use indicators etc. And buying one lower in the range especially the 3 series always makes you look iffy. Its hard to describe but its sorta you want to show off but youre in a lower mid range BMW and it looks kinda bad. And buying their SUVs youre already outed as someone having no taste whatsoever cause theyre just extremely ugly. All of them. Youre much better off buying any sort of Merc really.
@@TheDude50447 There was a segment for the longest time that Jezza would say "If you own a BMW, you're a cock" and then shortly after the Audi R8 released it shifted towards Audi drivers being "cocks" and then I supposed it shifted back to Beemers? Wouldn't surprise me if that's the case.
An i8 fitted with the V8 from the M3 and a manual gearbox would be stunning.
I'm surprise Jeremy didn't mention how on the i8 if you open an close the hood it breaks, If you use the manual door handles they snap off, and how the body panels flex worse than a C6 Corvette bumper.
Bmw quality and performance 💩
"19 more than what you get from Prius"
4 years later
They have stopped making a TV show😭
"that thing, whatever it is😂😂"
I knew there was a Kavinsky's song in Top Gear at some point :D
Thumbs up if you want Clarkson Back on Top Gear!!!
theyre still together and will be on amazon next year
OMG!!! did not know that #thanks
i see the BBC is still ridding the tails of jeremy who they FIRED ether re hire him for some new shows or stop showing him in every top gear youtube videos make new ones like you said you would
So just throw away everything they paid Jeremy to do until the new show has aired..? I dont see the problem with uploading what we as viewers want to see..
Top gear is like the only good show on BBC except doctor who
they said a long time ago that the new top gear was to be out soon well that was july its now dec and it still old content jeremy and friends have already done a few promos and other tibits while top gear is still doing reruns of old 2014-feb 2015 content if topgear to survive they need to really start pushing what the new top gear is with some promos or its a good as dead and forgotten once the new amazon series comes out they did post in the new there was to be a christmas special but we not even seen one teaser of yet
+David Harrington They didn't fire him and the content belongs to them. This is just highlights from the previous series as they have been doing for years.
+David Harrington New material doesn't come out on this channel, now does it? The series will air in the new year on TV as usual.
6:49 That man in the background just had to do it to em
6:45
There be people standing in the back looking at him
if cars get too economical, the gas prices will keep going up to compensate for the good gas mileage. its still lose lose for us regular non gas company employees.
And when gas starts running out the prices won't skyrocket?
i miss top gear :*(
No one seems to care about the first song while the M3 is drifting, but it's not stock music! It's actually Kavinsky's _Blizzard,_ a favorite song of mine; I even have it downloaded on my phone. All of you should check out Kavinsky, you'll thank me!
Isn't there supposed to be a part 2 to this clip?
thumbs up if u want top gear to start again
+rickyA01 2001 It will, only a rubbish new top gear with new presenters, but Keep calm and Netflix and Chill.
+WhlKy Jdokdk i want jeremy to come back
+rickyA01 2001 Amazon Prime picked up the Three and they will have a new show. Wait for the show to start and get the free one month of Prime and you can watch it free, for a few episodes anyway.
I'd take the M3 at any day
RJ K awk will obviously!
This was a great test.
LoL "that whatever it is, that hatchback thing there..." is popular in S.A and we love it!!!
in my humble opinion the i8 is the sexiest car out there today
Cool car, Dead Series
I’m currently driving a F82 M4 comp
I am facing this exactly problem now, should I change to an I8?
I prefer a black i8 with standard BMW tires, as opposed to the blue paint job with whatever those tire-ish things are
BMW is the best!
meh...
depressed?
I liek BMWWWWW
Porsche for me.
@@Daniel-id9wk Porches are girl cars
Winter piss off bitch you just a bmw fanboy
2020 ??
I am still asking myself if he drove home with the m3 or i8. Also i am curious when we will see the comparison between m3 and i8, which the title announced.
That sound is eargasm central 😍😍
Well, you fire the man, then grasp at whatever you can to save your brand with his face on it. This makes me want to support Top Gear even less. RIP
"M3 drivers have no friends"
Friends have no M3
Friends don't let friends drive M3s
cosmicquandary ye I wouldn't let any of my closest friend drive my m3 if I had one
Friendly drivers have no M3.
I have no friends and no m3
Holy shit, i think i was at that service station when they were filming this. Saw an i8 parked in the same exact spot, i had no idea it was Jezza! Damn, missed an opportunity to see him.
Jeremy is right about Whitby having the best Fish & Chips in the Whole world!
ajwasp Well, I’ve never eaten fish and chips in Whitby but I have eaten fish and chips in lots of other places and by far and away the best fish and chips that I have ever had was in North Shields.
If you Pause at 1:19 its not Jeremy driving. whaaa
That's hatchback thing there XD
Fun fact about the M3 used ib this video: It was "accidentaly" sold to a man who saw this episode and recognized the car. He said it was basically thrashed lol.
i8 looks curvy but slow
Song: Kavinsky - Blizzard
"I should go and get a coup of coffee" (he has been there enjoying his coffee an hour!). I want to drink a coffee just like him soon, just sit down in the restaurant and stay without a mask for an hour enjoying my drink.
What's the name of the song in the beginning? If someone could tell me that would be great!
I have mixed feelings about the i8. It looks great. It's kind of interesting but then again..
Tommi Kivimäki ...it's still a hybrid.
7:30 “properly fast”....300 something HP rofl ok
What song was in the beginning of it. Was on the eagle here recently in dallas, some french group.
MrArmyAnt something from kavinsky's first album "outrun" cant remember the exact song but the album has 11 songs so its an easy find
where is the rest of the video?
um okay? so what was the point of this pointless video if it didn't show which one he preferred at the end? thumbs down
+Jonathan Pontel Its a clip from t he episode, he chose the i8 in the end. Its Season 22 episode 4
Aten Chau okay but why did he choose the i8?
+Jonathan Pontel he didn't say.
He did he said because he needs to go with technology's flow. As if the M3 is a excellent typewriter and the i8 a Laptop. Of course, laptop, because we need something new.
+Aten Chau Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the end didn't he change to the m3? The i8 only got 35 mpg and he had a few other issues with it
