I Expose How New Cars Are Too FAT!

Modification your automobile with :

There's no rejecting it – modern automobiles are getting wider & longer!

And this is proving to be a problem for vehicle drivers when purchasing a new automobile. For instance, while cars and trucks have actually increased in size, elements such as car parking spaces have actually stayed the same – and this could show problematic for chauffeurs!

To show this, we're about to put two cars from the same range together in a series of difficulties throughout central London to see just how their sizes have actually grown, and what sort of issues they may come across when driving in a city.

For the old cars and truck, we have actually got our hands on a 20-year-old E46 BMW M3, and we're about to compare it to a G82 M4. When it comes to the E46, it has to do with 4.5 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.

When it comes to the new M4, it's about 30cm longer and 10cm broader! This is because it's needed to include a number of aspects, such as a stiffer chassis and much better suspension, mainly since its 3-litre twin-turbo pumps out around 190hp more than the E46!

So will the modern M4 battle when driving around London? You'll need to stick with Mat to see on your own!

      There is a Very wrong fact in the video: cars are only getting bigger because of REGULATIONS. they have to be safer in crashes, be more aerodynamic and efficient therefore and of course there is comfort features that everbody wants. All of that is responsible for the ever growing size

    My parents house was built in 1968 and has a single garage. When we were kids it was perfectly adequate for most family cars like Escort, Marina etc, but now virtually nothing will fit even with the mirrors folded. Last time my mother changed her car she ended up with a Ford Fusion because it was about the only car that fit, and even that barely got through the door frame.

      Same with my parents’ driveway. It quite comfortably fit a bunch of 90s and 2000s cars, like the first generation Mazda 6 and an Alfa Romeo 159. But check the width of any modern car and it’ll be a struggle.

    I do think motoring journalists have a part in the blame, when they’re marking down cars like a Mazda MX5 because it doesn’t have back seats and saying small cars like a mini don’t have a big enough boot you can’t really complain when the brands start fattening up their cars to get better reviews. I’ve recently downsized from an Octavia VRS estate to an Up GTI and it was the best decision I made, it’s so easy to place absolutely everywhere

It all depends on which car you buy, if you look into the history of the cars and actually manage to get a proper good one, you will have a lovely car.

      @ I don’t agree mate. They are notorious for rear springs snapping and subframes cracking. All 3 of mine had this issue. I did rod bearings on 2 of them also. Your comment on getting a clean one is the problem. Unless you are buying relatively new ones with less than 100k you’re gonna struggle. You might be ok for a few years, but getting one now is going to be very difficult and even if you do find one, it’s going to be expensive. It’s crazy to me that anyone would want to buy an old one today. I don’t bother with any German cars anymore. Have had Mercs, VW’s and Audis too and I realised that German efficiency and reliability is absolute BS. The Japanese are the only people left on this planet that know how to make reliable vehicles.
