With the new series, there\u2019s a whole host of vehicular goodness to get excited about, as the boys buy, restore and celebrate some of motoring\u2019s greats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For us, Wheeler Dealers is the perfect slice of car television. There is no forced drama, no silly deadlines, no \u2018if we don\u2019t sell this car we lose the shop\u2019 nonsense. Instead, there is lots of interesting technical information, all of which is shown and explained in an interesting and entertaining way. If you want to learn about cars, this is the show. Top mechanic, Ant Anstead is a whizz on the spanners and there\u2019s no job he can\u2019t (and won\u2019t) take on. From simple mechanical fixes, through to more in depth technical jobs including diagnosis, we get to see it all done on real world, honest cars. And in the age of horrid, forced reality television, the Wheeler Dealer&#8217;s approach is refreshing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve watched some of the next season (the things we do for you) which airs on Discovery channel at 9pm on Monday 2nd March. We\u2019ll warn you now, there are spoilers ahead, both figuratively and literally (looking at you, Merkur XR4Ti). But if you don\u2019t mind knowing what\u2019s coming up in the next season, read on!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #036300;\">Episode 1 &#8211; 2004 BMW M3 \u2013 TX: Monday 2nd March, 9pm<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CUSKhVcw-800x449.jpeg\" alt=\"Wheeler Dealers, Mike Brewer, Ant Anstead, Discovery Channel, TV, classic car, retro car, motoring, automotive, car and classic, carandclassic.co.uk, Porsche, Ford, Merkur, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Fiat, Volvo, BMW, M3, restoration, project car, barn find, restoration project\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CUSKhVcw-800x449.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CUSKhVcw-768x431.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CUSKhVcw-2000x1123.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CUSKhVcw-765x430.jpeg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CUSKhVcw-1020x573.jpeg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CUSKhVcw-1800x1011.jpeg 1800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CUSKhVcw.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We say: The E46 M3 is a fast-appreciating classic, and a proper driver\u2019s car.
