If you know, letting your car idle after intense driving. Lets say you drove home for about 50 km's or 30 miles. As soon as you park up at home you shut off the engine. All of that heat you leave trapped in the engine which will eventually cause damage. Instead as soon as you park up, let your car idle for 1 - 3 minutes to let the coolant and oil cool turbos, engine down. Especially important on highly complicated cars like this BMW F10 M5, twin-turbo S63 V8, their most complex engine at the time.

Its a little weird to buy a convertible for 153 k € here in Spain to just get a four cylinder that you can find in an A45 S hatchback for 90 k €? Both are scam anyway. Mercedes SL 43-AMG, R232

The Mercedes-AMG W205 C63 launched in 2015, which means this car is now ten years old. That is difficult to reconcile because it still feels current in a way few cars manage to do. The 4.0-litre biturbo V8 and with 500 Hp in the ultimate version and relatively compact dimensions defined what a modern performance saloon was supposed to feel like before electrification and downsizing shifted priorities. At the time, the W205 felt like a technical upgrade over its predecessor. Today, it feels like the closing chapter of something more mechanical. The fact that it still holds attention is not about speed or numbers, but about how complete the package was. It represents the end of a period when AMG could still prioritise engine character over efficiency narratives.

Porsche 911 Turbo, 930 or the Widowmaker. You instantly know this car when you're older. Whale tail spoiler. Wide rear arches. 930's 3.3L turbo flat-six or the rarer 3.0 version that came earlier. This is the shape people picture when they think “classic 911 Turbo”. Aggressive, simple and instantly recognisable. The sound of the flatsix during that time, that sound is so raw, and you can even hear the turbo whistle in the other clip. An icon before any sort of social media, not overhyped today.

The E46 M3 GTR exists because BMW Motorsport needed an engine that did not exist. The P60B40 V8 was developed specifically to homologate the car for racing, and it never appeared in any other BMW road model. It was compact, lightweight and built for sustained high-rpm use rather than everyday refinement. This engine was not a variant of something else. It was a purpose-built solution to a single problem, to BEAT PORSCHE. That is why it disappeared once the problem disappeared. The GTR did not create a new direction for BMW. It marked a moment when the brand allowed motorsport to override normal product logic completely.

BMW M5, E60. This is what made it special. The engine. V10 in a family saloon, what was BMW thinking or snorting back then? 500 hp from the S85B50 V10 engine, high revving and one of the best sounding V10's ever and the best sounding BMW of all time. Nothing else matters as much. Of course, there are downsides. Reliability isn’t great. This is not a simple car to own. But that’s part of it, high risk, high reward. You take care of it, and it gives you that V10 sound. Some even converted them to manual to ditch the SMG gearbox and USA even got the manual from factory. And there’s a Touring as well, even more added insanity.

BMW M5, E28. The first M5. Hand-assembled by BMW Motorsport in Garching, not built like a normal 5 Series. Powered by a 3.5L straight-six derived from the BMW M1’s engine. 282 hp and 5-speed manual only. At the time, it was faster than many sports cars like Ferrari 328. And it didn’t even look the part with subtle M badges on the exterior. From the outside, it could pass as a normal 5 Series. That’s what made it different and it was the beginning of a new segment of sleeper super saloons. Nothing really competed with it at the time. Everything that came after followed this.

Automatic start-stop is absolutely pointless. You wake up, get in the car and start it. Let it warm up. You start driving. First intersection, you stop and the engine just shuts off. Immediately annoying. So what do you do, Turn it off. Every time. It’s meant to save fuel and reduce emissions in theory. In reality, nobody uses it and that’s why it’s useless. I like to think that it hurts the engine more in the long run.

Italy doesn't really like engines over 2.0 litres – so BMW built a mini M3 for them in 1987. The 320is had the same S14 engine, just a shorter stroke. A happy high-revving 2.0-litre that made 192 HP, perfectly balanced, and exclusive to Italy and Portugal. The “Italian M3” – engineered purely to beat tax law with precision.

The Touareg 4.0 TDI represents Volkswagen pushing diesel technology further than the rest of its range ever required. This V8 diesel was developed specifically for high-torque, high-load use in a luxury SUV format. It was heavy, complex and expensive, and it never filtered into other VW passenger models. It existed because the Touareg demanded it, not because the brand wanted a new engine family.

BMW M760Li, G12. This breaks 305 km/h with the M Drivers Package. Hiding serious speed. The car just wants to keep going after 300 km/h. For BMW its unusual to make a V12 M performance car, its what makes it unusual.

Modern RS engineering reached its peak with the C8 RS6. Still a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, now around 592 hp, paired with mild-hybrid systems and far more chassis complexity. The character shifted slightly - heavier, more managed, quieter, but the aftermarket solves that easily.

Audi RS6, C6. This breaks 300 km/h. A twin-turbo V10 wagon. Built for speed, but only upwards to 250km/h, factory limited. But capable of going to 320 km/h without the limiter. And tuned versions like this example with 850 hp set the number even higher. A family car doing supercar numbers, it is literal insanity.

The 1.9 TDI became almost independent from any single car. It powered Golfs, Passats, Octavias Ibizas and so much more, and in many cases the same engine was swapped through several bodies over its life. The mechanical simplicity and conservative boost strategy made it nearly impossible to kill in normal use. Later 2.0 TDIs delivered better performance and cleaner emissions, yet they never matched the 1.9’s reputation for tolerance. Gearboxes wore out, interiors collapsed, but the diesel kept commuting. It turned from an engine into a benchmark for what durability in everyday transport should look like.

BMW M3, E92. 414 hp. From a 4.0L naturally aspirated V8. Revving to 8,400 rpm with no turbo. 0–100 km/h in around 4.6 seconds. Back then, 400 hp meant revs and sound in the 2000s. Not torque, not instant speed. This was about the experience, this car wanted you to rev the engine hard, this is a backroads car for going fast. One of the last naturally aspirated M3s. Compared to a modern M340i with maybe similar power, this feels slower, but this M3 is way better feeling and its a V8 M3, the only V8 M3 and the older M3's feel way way more alive.

BMW 540i, G30. Powered by the B58 straight-six, one of BMW’s most reliable modern engines. Exact same version of engine as the M140i and M240i. Just used differently here and this isn’t a car you push all the time since its all about smooth effortless speed. You get rear-wheel drive, estate versions, even hybrid options in the 545e. And a much more refined experience overall. Most people go straight for the M340i, but this is just as good in a different way. Better interior, the best in the pre-LCI. A proper balance daily car and a tuners favourite.

10 years ago, this is what an Audi RS5 was. A naturally aspirated V8 revs all the way to 8500 RPM. And the way it builds power is just smooth and even. That’s what makes it special. Look at the rivals: W205 C63, F80 M3 are both turbocharged. This wasn’t so this was screaming compared to the muffled noise from the Mercedes and M3. And you can hear the difference immediately. The sound alone puts it ahead. Compared to newer cars, it’s the same story. They might be faster. But they don’t sound like this when they have gone more quiet, downsized and use filters because EU wants them.

Audi 200 Turbo Quattro, C3. A turbocharged five-cylinder, manual gearbox and quattro. Back then, there were no S or RS models. This was as far as you could go. 217 hp in the 20v version, which was serious performance for the time with permanent all wheel drive from derived from Audi's rally technology. 217 horses was plenty to get you to 240 km/h and there was an Avant version as well. And a tuner favourite too. What makes it important is what came after. This car laid the groundwork for the urS4 and urS6. A real piece of early Audi performance history.

The base 911 Carrera of the 997 generation. And still one of the best. Over 300 hp, naturally aspirated flat-six and a proper manual. That’s all you really need if you're not looking to be the lightning fast goer. Compared to newer cars like the 992, this feels smaller, lighter and not bloated. You don’t need the Turbo or GT3 to enjoy it, you might even find yourself enjoying this more because you can use all the power. That’s why it holds its value, plus its the better version of the 996. Not underrated, but correctly appreciated and overpriced. This is from 911obsessed, their Porsche 911 997.2 Carrera.

Brabus Rocket 900, W222. This breaks 300 km/h. A V12 taken to the extreme by Brabus. Built for straight-line speed and for just power. De-limited by Brabus, it keeps pulling. Has anyone ever seen what the road looks like at 300 km/h?

BMW 320i, E30. A small, lightweight BMW with a straight-six and a manual. That’s all it needed. Just a modest 123 hp and 170 Nm of torque. It was about how the car felt and not how fast it could go. This 320i has near perfect weight distribution. Analogue, direct and completely connected to the driver. Simple, driver-focused cockpit with supportive seats. Build quality is high for the period, though plastics and electrics can degrade after 30 to 40 years. You don’t need huge numbers to enjoy it. The driving feel does the work. That is why this car has gone up in price as well because over the years its got tougher to find one.

Mercedes didn't stop with the 2000s excess when they gave the CL the same V12 from the S 65 AMG. Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, C215. M275 6.0 twin turbo V12 and in a beautiful pillarless coupe. Peak 2000s excess, what is a Mercedes S class with 2 doors is a grand tourer with supercar power. Its not what made sense, its what people wanted. This was built for those connoisseurs desiring exclusivity, only 777 units ever made. The CL 65 in the video is catless straight piped.

Volkswagen Golf R32, Mk4. The engine made it special: 3.2 VR6. That sound alone is enough, at the time, this was a super hot hatch. The whole car felt more premium with aluminium accents, R badging, solid build quality. Everything felt built properly. Even things like xenon headlights were standard and electronics we're standard for mirrors, windows. You could get it with a 6-speed manual or DSG.

Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG, C219. This is what made it special. The design, a 4-door coupe when nothing else looked like this. Low, aggressive and completely different. Then the engine. 5.4L supercharged V8, the M113K or the V8 Kompressor. 469 hp and over 700 Nm. That was insane torque figures for the time and it delivered it the old AMG way, raw, instant torque. The only delay you got was from the gearbox, but that's one of the few downsides. On top of that, it was still a proper luxury car. Comfortable, refined and built to cover distance. Compared to rivals, this stood out, better engine, better presence and at the nobody else did 4 door coupes. That’s what made it special.

Porsche 911 GT3, 996. This is what makes it characterful. Manual only, 6 cylinders and a very race car feel. That already tells you everything. Then the engine, 3.6 Mezger flat-six that just wants to rev to 8200 RPM. Loud, mechanical and full of life this car feels raw a lot less than a modern GT3. Lightweight, direct steering and no filters. Compared to the 997, this feels more alive and looks more raw still. The headlights are still controversial and the interior is basic, ride is stiff too, but that’s part of it, you expect a car made for racing to handle comfortably? It’s about driving, racing and that’s what gives it character.

A people carrier with a VR6 engine makes no rational sense. The Sharan was designed for space and comfort, not for sound or response. Yet Volkswagen installed its compact six-cylinder into it anyway. The VR6 arrived later in the model’s production life in the second phase, and despite the power increase it was also offered with 4Motion. It changed the Sharan’s purpose, for all of the soccer moms. And this Volkswagen Sharan is tuned, 430 Hp.

V10 in a family saloon, what was BMW thinking or snorting back then? 500 hp from the S85B50 V10 engine, high revving and one of the best sounding V10's ever and the best sounding BMW of all time. Nothing else matters as much. Of course, there are downsides. Reliability isn’t great. This is not a simple car to own. But that’s part of it, high risk, high reward. You take care of it, and it gives you that V10 sound. Some even converted them to manual to ditch the SMG gearbox and USA even got the manual from factory. And there’s a Touring as well, even more added insanity.

Mid-engine Audi madness came only with the early R8 V8, then the V10. A naturally aspirated 5.2-litre Lamborghini V10, paired with a gated manual in its purest form. Around 518 hp and a layout Audi had never attempted before. This was a supercar for the masses, it didn't look as flashy, it's not like a reskinned Huracan, just an Audi. Unlike later filtered, heavier supercars, this is still mechanical. Few cars show Audi taking such a risk: a brand known for saloons building a true driver-focused halo car with no compromise in character.

Audi Q7 V12 TDI. A family SUV powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 diesel producing around 500 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque. The engine was derived from Audi’s Le Mans diesel racing program, which already makes the idea unusual. Instead of building another petrol performance SUV like the ML 63 AMG or BMW X5 M, Audi went in a completely different direction. Massive diesel torque. The result was absurd capability. The Q7 V12 TDI became famous for demonstrations where it could tow extremely heavy loads, even aircraft. Incredibly complex engineering, but also one of the most outrageous diesel road cars ever built.
