Dude must have a bought a really bad one or just abused the crap out of it.

[KNS]

Hilarious. If he hates it he should just dump it rather than bitch about it.

I do like the cloth seats, though. I wish we could get those here.

[Underground6t9]

Video is entertaining

What a fucking piece of British trash.... and I'm talking about the commentator not the car.

Old 5 series are kinda junk don't pretend they are not. Did you see the issues he had? I don't think they are acceptable. One key starts the car and one does not, all the engine lights on, radio turns off when you charge the phone. 1000's in repairs.

[Fundguy1]

He's got an old underpowered pos. I'd hate it too.

And for every one that is a POS, there are several that run very well without issues. It all goes into how a driver treats the vehicle... and obviously he is an aggressive driver that has little regard to others on the road or his car.

The first indicator was that seriously crappy LPG conversion. I've seen high school auto shop classes do better work.

[Fundguy1]

First indication was he has the tiny motor, then he has the lpg,then he has the repairs obviously done incorrectly. Net result, bad upkeep = bad car. Expecting performance from an underpowered tank = disappointment. Change the remote battery. Get the shops that did the shoddy work on the oil and water to back their work and fix it right, change the blown fuse or fix the wire on the cigarette lighter/radio, get some real wheels, and the car will do what its supposed to at virtually no cost.

I'm guessing he ran it hard, didn't take care of it and now he's paying for it. Odds are, he's a poser and certainly not an enthusiast.

Seems like he does like cars from the videos he made. He is funny though

[STR8-6IX]

thats what happens when you buy a 10+ year old bmw with lots of mileage on it because you didnt have the money to buy something reasonable to begin with. he did this to himself, not the car.

[DaZuc]

This guys video is trash, he has a m54 that has been converted to lpg

If you have a useless key get rid of it instead of keeping on your key ring.

Wow so many people here don't get this is a parody. Absolutely smashed it in this video, classic brit humour. Loving it!

Have the exact same hatred for my car every time I get a hefty bill but Damn I love her and can't tear myself away from her. Argghhh!

Personally I've always hated the 5 series he's got, a mate tried to flog me his dad's 07 plate M sport 530d a couple of years ago for £12k despite it having done 220k miles. Such an ugly POS. I hate their interior, the weird exterior, the fact it's as big as a tank and its ridiculous price tag even now.

[Efthreeoh]

Can I have the 5 minutes of my life back please?

[Socket]

Hahahah

[F22_Raptor]

I never liked the look of the E60, especially after the F10 came out.

This.

If you cheap out on something like an LPG conversion then who knows how the other maintenance was done on the car. Not saying the problems are 100% the owner's fault, but poor maintenance never helps anything.

[lab_rat]

This guy is hilarious... Brit humor at its best.

[mjn77]

Ha ha, quality.

6 mins of funny.

[Greyfox]

I've watched and heard a lot of British humor (even been the victim of a couple of cheeky Brits once or twice) in the last 40+ years... and if that is what Brits are now calling British humor, Brits are going to get a very bad reputation.

[raptor_f22]

Rather have a reputation for crap humour and YouTube videos than school shootings, maniacal leaders and a low IQ population

Jesus

Guys, this is not "brit humour". He is about as funny as arse cancer. I was cringing watching that whole thing. Utter bellend.

He has clearly bought a rope motor and drove it into the ground. Just have a look at the items his car failed it's MOT on in the past
