I think I’ve got this. I’ve done some difficult things (rear brakes on an E-Type with no lift, Giubos on my Alfa, water pump on an A/C-equipped Mercedes 220D just to name some off the top of my head. But one experience stands out as the worst.

I know that it’s unrealistic, but from the screenshot I assumed that the white car was going to jump over the green and red cars. I blame video games for my warped views on car racing.

For some reason I’m not missing top gear so much. I’m too busy laughing my ass off.

Only the Touring variants. To me the E39s were better looking in all formats. The E28s were nice and balanced. Then the 5 became more brick like with the E34 and really didn’t look perfect except in wagon form.

They stopped making them in 1997 marking the end of a run spanning back to 1955. Then they started up again with the retro convertible ones again in 2002 until 2005. I have a 2002 as well as my daily driver.

Just spend a couple dozen hours learning it on Gran Turismo (even a PS2 version is good enough) and you've got the gist of it. Then when you go drive it in real life you'll know where you are and what's coming up and you can focus on learning the details like bumps, cambers etc. And worrying about damaging your car.

I was always taught "The track has 10 corners, you move your hands ten times" That works on a smooth course (and no traffic obviously!) and outside of increasing/decreasing radius turns you should be able to set your hands entering the corner, hit the apex, track out and set up without moving your hands.
