I call bs. He'll have that car raffled off within the month I imagine.

Nope literally just a tint to blend the plate in with the dark colour of the car.

See this about once a week currently. Barely visible tinted plates. Hope its gets stamped out but doubt it with the death of road policing.
Traffic cops are an endangered species. We rely on cameras to police the roads now and they aren't going to stop people using illegal plates (or no front plate at all, which also seems common now). So basically no one gives a **** except the MOT engineer.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure I can easily go from 30 to 115 in 3rd. I don't actually know what the top speed is, I've never really tried.

Ironically it was actually a 9996 turbo I used to own. Was incredibly fast and that was stock. It's funny when people get close if you are doing nsl and you can just boot it and see them shrink in the rear view mirror. I think the top speed was meant to be 180. Not sure how long it'd take though as its about 10s to 100. Probably need a fair bit of road, although it's a bit more aerodynamic than my current m3 (benefit of no engine at the front). Also thinking back, I'm sure it would do 75-80 in second. I can't have been redlining it when I did my test, the problem is the roads have too much traffic ti safely do above 100.Was driving my dad's 996 turbo yesterday and it hits 90 in 3rd, the gearing is ridiculously long in them

5th is all she's got, no 6th gear 'ere!

TL;DW, M4 is fully paid off (says he pulled some strings), ends by saying all he's got is a big middle finger for all the haters

Fully paid off my back side. How does someone who makes below average wage on YouTube is able to pay off 50 grands worth of car.

Credit is becoming far too easy to get again. He will be bankrupt by his early thirties.

I don't know him, do we know he is a full time YouTuber? Looks like he probably makes around £20-£25k a year from it. If he has another average job, that's not a bad income in total.

He won't have owned the full amount though surely (unless he has just bought the car). He will of paid some of it off. Bet he doesn't declare his youtube income either

This saga has certainly increased his view counts...

It will all come back to bite later on. Especially now he being noticed more. Someone is more likely to investigate him.
He drops a lot of hints in the video as to what is going on behind the scenes - talking about selling it in a year, etc. and contradicting himself a few times (seemed to be a little bit of hoping a fan would buy it at an inflated price) I suspect he has taken out a loan to pay off the finance :s

Reminds me of a time at a friends house who owned one of the main competitors to the Subaru WRX at the time I think it was a Mitsubishi Evo but not 100% now - conversation got around to performance and his son (who wasn't old enough to drive) pipes up "oh yeah it does 70mph in 1st gear" then goes bright red - apparently had been driving it up and down the neighbourhood.

He also said he has been contacted by others in the same position ; BMW finance would repossess the car and sell it at auction and aggressively come after him for the balance.
Yeah what over 500k views on the original vid, must have made a few quid
