In 40 years of driving cars and riding motorcycles the ones I have liked the best are the ones I've done the most miles with....no question. So good to see a car like this being used for fun, it's intended purpose.

Nightmare traffic!

As a German i'm glad you mentioned how here in Germany driving at High Speeds not allowed in other Countries is a daily common thing and nothing special. So much so driving at least 200km/h (120mph) or more on your daily Commute to work is Routine. A lot of Foreigners can't wrap their mind around it and i feel a ton of German Cars are engineered for this daily Speed so if they are driven in slow US Traffic for example they end up having Issues which would explain why a ton of German Cars are higher rated in Reliability in Germany compared to the USA. Some Cars just need to be driven fast, especially if they're German and if not every Day then at least every now and then as you do.

why would driving fast ever be a net benefit for the mechanical parts of a car? the only thing is long, sustained drives that allow the fluids to circulate the car properly and for the engine etc to get to optimum temps. driving 'fast' does nothing but wear out parts faster. the argument for higher revs can be done in lower gears so speed is not an issue. the reason for shit reliability is probably because some countries aren't car savvy... a lot of people don't understand car mechanics so they just rev it to 6k from a cold start, dont change fluids etc. Germany probably has a higher number of people who actually care for their car and don't just see it as a point-a to point-b machine.

Interesting fact: In Germany you’re not allowed to repair tires with a 240 km/h or higher speed rating ( V,W and Y Rating tires). TÜV is not happy about plugs in tires which are for highspeed driving. And I get you point changing them with such a valuable car

15:09 The mechanic removed the wheel dangerously and carelessly. If that wheel had fallen on the brake disc, it would have been very expensive.

Lucas is an absolute gentleman and a scholar 👌

Congrats on reaching 50,000km / 32,000 miles! It is great to see nice cars such as the Black Series being driven.

when you have 11 faults in a row after the service and nothing feels wrong there's basically just two suspects, a wiring issue and the ECU overheating after the ice driving, remember that although the ice road looks fairly smooth it's very bumpy and the suspension have to work ultra hard and that suspension ECU fault is probably a combination of the active suspension magnetic fluid getting incredibly hot and being out of spec for the ECU to react within tolerances. It has to be something similar that happens on modern motorbikes with active suspension where on track days the active suspension part get incredibly hot special oil had to be used etc etc they wanted to change the entire part $2500 part and it just got hot and overworked... also I think maybe the studded tires could be part of it.

I agree with you.Your theory sounds right and just however the errors started just after the service before he went to the artic cicrle if you look closely at the mileage at which it was serviced at and when the errors started..I think the upgrades and software do play a part when the dealerships updates control units and clears faults with their own diagnostic on a car which is not standard with no standard software..I have experienced issues with cars which do have software..I've tried to clear faults and it just lights up warning lights and errors when doing so...I do agree that those studded tires and extreme conditions have played a part.

Great parting shot of the AMG GT Black *blasting* through the snow!

So glad the 296 is finally getting to go to its first track day, can’t wait to see how it’s gonna perform on track!

The sound of that thing when your 'lead-footing' is bloomin' awesome!

Hello Shmee! Happy Easter!

when you popped the trunk to get the locking lug key and moved a buc-ees plastic bag had me laughing way too hard. the fact you still having a buc-ees bag is very impressive!!

Going to be a fun weekend. Happy Easter 👍👍👍😎😎😎

I think the gt black series is my favourite car out of your collection and thats saying something with everything you have! I always think i would pic a Ferrari, McLaren or lambo if i was fortunate enough to be in that position but when you see this car its just breath taking. I love the paint upgrade and what you did with the boot too in terms of paint colour. I have been watching this channel since R8 days and its incredible how far you have come tim. Keep it going 👌🏻

Tim I want 3 times amount of miles on that gt black series. Hope you and family are well happy easter bud.

I saw the GT Black Series in Split on Gumball 3000 last June. The Colour is perfect

When you are done with this car, it needs to be in a car museum.

Trip idea, go to Sicily in the 296 and drive the Targa Florio. Would honestly be fantastic to see.

A Buc-EE's bag?!? That is TOO funny!

I’m here , with lots of love from South Africa

On long drives, how comfortable are these seats? Also, does is cause neck pains?

Question Tim: So awesome that you actually drive your cars and put them to the test. I wonder if manufacturers reach out to see what is going on after so many miles and in so many varying degrees, so many track days, and a proper thrashing or two, that wear and tear on your car, you can provide valuable data to them. Do they reach out to see what is working and what can be improved? Do they help cover costs in exchange for that data? You know what works and what doesn't. McLaren dkes that sometimes I'm told at least according to Triple F.

How much coffee did you have Tim before filming the opening. Tim: Yes.

10:37 Dude is that Schaefchen !!!

This cars feels like a TANK!!!! Most other super cars like the Porsche gt3 Rs you have to do maintence allll the time.

Tim, your ca4 sounded way better than the silver car being backed out of the workshop, what had they done to it? Sounded like they’d broken it.

Love the Buckys bag in the boot

I love the spec of the GT BS, the solar beam looks great

Lucas is a font of knowledge and can share that so clearly in English, so impressive

Surprising how little maintenance this car needs! It's pretty much the same as my E class..

@Shmee150 what’s upgrades have you done to the GT to get 850bhp?

Good video

In perspective for my hot hatches astra vxr arctic, ive done around 14k miles in 7 years! My 2001 astra coupe my mum bought new I was given to daily as it was needing used before the rust killed it and from 2018 to 2020 it went from 72k miles to 125k miles My first ever car a 2001 corsa c 1.2 in 2012 was my most driven car by 2018 I scrapped it and went from 22k miles to 100k miles My 2014 corsa clubsport now on 9900 has only done 100ish miles in the 5 years ive owned it

You are more important than the car. Just enjoy it drive it till the wheels fall off. How does it feel driving with that long hood and sitting so close to the rear axle?

Is it worth putting it on the dyno? Would hate you to be driving without knowing max wheel horsepower.

9:36 very nice looking MB W124

Shmee excelent content no doubt but please start recording in 4K🙏🙏😅😅😅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nothing wrong with doing that milage, but as someone who works on AMG's everyday, i would change the oil more often than what AMG suggest. We recommend every 5k miles, oil and filter change

What car phone suction mount do you recommend

6 min ago. 14:47 Lol note to self locking wheel nut, quick access.

Uhh, the tell for me is when you took it in and the error started showing up. Obviously something updated at that point and the car didn’t like it. A trip to MB is in order at some point

2.2 bar inflation pressure = 32 psi. Should this be higher, like 36 psi? My lowly C300 states on the fuel filler cap that it should be 32 psi for speeds under 100 mph; 36 psi above. Plus fully laden vehicle would affect psi needs too but assuming that’s not a factor here per se (no other passengers) then for sn AMG Black serious I’d imagine recommended pressures would be higher for daily driving (clearly track days excluded).

How much was the check over ?? Labour rates

Yup you’ve been to Texas. The Buc-ees plastic bag said it all haha

Honestly with everything Shmee has done with that AMG GTR I'd say it's worth more! It's an absolutely legendary car considering everything it's done, where it's travelled and driven by a legendary KZreadr. I'd buy Tim's GTR over any if I ever had the chance.

Regardless of how true that is, you can’t blame him for it. Incredibly valuable, and just about as far from series production you can get.

I think we all like to see you driving the crap out of a car what everybody just keep in a garage.

Shout-out to the Buc-ee's bag in the trunk! 🇺🇲

Mercedes Benz is a very special, solid as a rock automobile. This is proven once again by this video. However, you drive the car very carefully in all circumstances. By that I mean you do not abuse the car. You only drive it in all situations in the appropriate for the circumstances. There is no over revving. There is no clutch slipping, There is no brake stabbing or tire skidding. Just driving to the maximum while observing correct procedures for the equipment.

These cars are pretty bulletproof considering the performance they offer.

@shmee150 that car is in pretty bad shape , you better let me take it off your hands. I'm looking out for you buddy . Lol 😉
