Still can't believe that after driving my car for 2 hours sideways they didn't show any of those bits.

Was a good programme and now all of you know what i look like after my little interview in the freezing cold

Thanks much for posting updated links. Even with lots of internet e24 6series related searches I've never seen these clips before.

Probably because he spends so much time sitting on the hood. #-o [-X

The editing is good isn't it how they make it look like you've just thrown him the keys, he jumps in and the first thing he does is a big lurid black lines burnout!

Is the host really the complete and utter wanker he comes across as on the show? The show should be called Bog 'n Floggers hosted by the Dodgy Bros.

I thought the "buyer" of the car was a bit too good to be true, rolling over like that and paying the asking price.

After the recent TV scandals, I wonder if the fella was one of the production team's own staff :roll:

More youtube video showing 6-series stuff.

New old Japanese video with M6 on a test track around 3:40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oMCJ3YGLMc

Historical video explaining design between 635 and M1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtmVZb_hPiY

There was a cool video on the reasons to buy a e24 6-series done in the UK recently. It was a good bit. Something about now being the perfect time to buy a nice one if you can find 'em. Can't find it on youtube at the moment.

The programe was shown in two parts on Monday, at least twice.

I managed to record on my V+ box (Discovery Men and Motors) It has been shown at least three times.

They might show it again.

No, I doubt you are. There's nothing wrong with that houndstooth cloth. What's more, from what you could see of it on the show, it looked to be in extremely good condition too. The way the host was endlessly crapping on about how awful it is, was just ridiculously over the top and part of what shat me about it. I dare say that to many buyers, for the sake of originality of specification and the fact that the leather replacements had obviously been recovered, that he would have been better off not doing the interior swap at all.

Nope - I liked it a lot too! lol...

Houndstooth is rare... houndstooth in good condition without tears is REALLY rare.

Well, they do call it "wheeler dealers," what do you expect really? He looks and acts like a salesman - but you know what, it's still a good show. Even though he's a douche, Ed China seems alright and anything that gives our car some good exposure is a good thing. =D>

They might be a pair of pillocks, but sure do enjoy the hell out of the show.

+1 on that. All the YouTube video links are dead. I could host some large files if necessary.
