Honestly out of my 3 cars (one being a brand new Cupra hot hatch) my Saab 9-3 Convertible is my favourite so I can see why Jack has kept it around. Such a lovely thing for no money at all. My audience LOVED it too. Next time you do a cheap car challenge tell Jack to have it off me so he can have an estate AND a convertible for whichever suits his mood that day. Soon his driveway will be a Saab graveyard. Loving the challenge videos 👍
Bruno is awesome! He's a mad man with NA power on the BMW 4 pots. Glad to see him on here, cheers mate!
This is exactly what I've been waiting for! The trade-up challenge! Thanks guys, you're legends.
Love that Saab 👌
Every time I’ve see your Saab Jack, I miss my old one. Good choice with it mate.hope will last you much…enjoy
9:09 Jack the absolute tip rat in his £500 saab I just love it haha, Can't beat a bit of bangernomics. You should do a video after 12 months if you've still got it.
“So much space for activities” ….. Classic Step Brothers quote!!
I'm hoping you continue this series until you get up to 100k or something
Alex: I don't like black wheels. We'd have to spray the ones on that Fiat silver. Also Alex: Let's change the wheels on this BMW from silver to black.
Right boys oil leaks check oil filter housing gasket sump gasket and rocker gasket. Other common issues lumpy idle ( vanos solenoids or disa valves)
Love seeing that saab still going, thats what they do best, still provide useful service after years when most other stuff is dead
Jack still loving the SAAB still I see! I need an estate asap.
"Dont like the black wheels". Proceeds to put black wheels on the new car 😀

OMG When you did the head lights!!! Thank you i was itching
Lmao, without mates rates on the service they barely would've even broke even on the up!
The black wheels look worse than the regular ones before
People don't sell BMW's, they break up with them for being so high maintenance. But you can be sure they check the plate of every silver z4 that passes to see if it's their old flame! Word of warning on silicon spray on o-rings, if you're going to apply silicon do it when you're already ready to install it. I had my 20 year old MAF o-ring swell as it softened up, and I couldn't get it back in the hole lol
Those saabs 😍😍 9-3 and that 9000 was sooooo nice looking
Wow, that blue E30 325I in the background looks so sick!

Looks like the N52 power plant. Great engine. I have that on my 330i E90 great engines. That oil filter housing is one of the concerns though as it sits directly over the sepertine.
It is unbelievable that you can get a Z4 coupe for that price in the UK. The only one on my local Craigslist is asking $40k USD for a 2008 manual, no mileage listed. The only one under $10k is a convertible, auto, 2.5L, 2003, with high mileage, engine light on, sitting for past 3 years.
With those silver wheels, it really completes the look of that beauty. Black wheels aren’t bad but not as good as the silver wheels.
That Z350 was nice ….😍
I completely agree with the E36's going sideways. Our Targa 328i went side ways at 160kph through a concrete power pole
