2006 BMW M3 vs 2011 BMW 1M - Head to Head Review!

[@SuzukiGil10]

Bought an E46 M3 with a Dinan S2 package for 26k and 194k miles 3 weeks ago and I have no regrets. I’ve never driven anything more fun.

[@TheBb6prelude]

This channel is the GOAT. Probably the greatest variety of cars. Although I'd say you moved towards middle class cars and above lately but I'm not complaining about it. I'd love to see more 90s and early 2000s modified cars.

[@Zygrene]

Thanks! I'm always down to review older project cars but I don't get as many offers from owners nowadays

[@TheMdpalmer]

The E46 is so beautiful 😭 I regret not picking up a minty fresh one back in the day. Don't think BMW will ever build a car like it again. Definitely top 5 favorite car of mine 😎

[@Savorychicken41]

Still have my e46 m3 over twenty years with close to 160k on the clock and it still feels great. It still brings me joy every time I drive it. BMW really did a fantastic job 👌

[@shakespeareracing7822]

Having driven Chris’s car, I can’t really describe how good it is. Makes my E46 M3 feel like it has a long way to go until it’s setup right. If you want to build the perfect dual duty e46, copy the mod list and add to cart. Only thing I’d mention is the 996 brake does alter the bias a bit. The Renault megane brake solution keeps bias closest to OEM. Build journal has a good write up on it

[@benjaminpivar7988]

The smaller (325 mm) AP Racing BBK is the way to go. It’s more expensive than the Porsche swap, but not super expensive like the 350 mm+ kits out there. Also, if you are tracking it, the pads are less expensive than stock. I’ve got this kit on my dedicated track car and my wife’s E36 M3. It’s awesome.

[@Euphorica]

Which way does it push the bias ?

[@shakespeareracing7822]

@@Euphorica more to the rear, the brakes came off a 911 which is has more rearward weight distribution

[@Euphorica]

@@shakespeareracing7822 that's actually a good thing. Definitely helps stop the car better (since OEM is always too much front bias )

[@dannyarooster]

I've owned an E46M similar in mods to this one. The one mod that makes a huge difference in this would be the final drive and going to a 3.91. My car stock was 3600lb stock but was lightened down to 3200 with some weight reduction. These were great bargains when sub $20K all day for low mileage clean ones. Just make sure you get the big 3 done (rods, subframe, vanos).

[@dp2901]

I had a 2002 S54 M Roadster and I currently have the 1M I bought new. The differences in the motor are striking and it's a really tough call on which one I like more. I think the 1M's modified N54 is much more practical overall, though.

[@nobutada55]

E46 sounds nuts on WOT, a wonderful N/A engine experience.

[@I53-624]

E46 m3 owner here, as much as I adore this car I think the 1m may take the cake for me.. the proportions, torque, weight, it’s all virtually perfect in my opinion. Sure the n54 can be rather boring, but with an s65 it truly seems like one of the best cars ever. Definitely a dream car for me!

I have 1 and the only bummer is thst it gets hard to handle w that giant erection in the way.

You might enjoy a Z4M Coupe even more as your personal car, knowing your love for a good sports car chassis. To me, it’s got everything this car has to offer and then 10-20% more on top of it.

[@Spectator247]

@@IS300Spartan in a bad way i’m afraid. I’ve owned 2 x s2000s (pre facelift and facelift - both ap1 versions with 9000 rev limit), an e46 m3 coupe and a z4m. All were stock and then mildly modified. The z4m was such a letdown. Overly stiff (even after i installed coilovers with softer settings) and didn’t offer the nimbleness of the s2k or the feel of the m3. It looked incredible though, one of the best looking cars i’ve owned.

[@fc872e1]

Outstanding job on this comparison. I’ve also long wondered how these two cars stack up against each other. Thank you!

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great video. I owned an E46 M3 and 1M at the same time (my 1M is the car is Doug Demuro’s review in 2017). The perfect car would be the 1M chassis with the S54 engine. The 1M is much faster, better shifter, better brakes, better handling and more steering feel. M3 wins on engine. If they were the same price, 1M all the way but the E46 M3 gives you most of the enjoyment for 30-40 percent less.

[@corradotox]

So, maybe, the upgrades on the M3 in the video make it the best pick overall 👌

[@millll111lllI]

30-40% less is more like 50-75% less

[@hanhu3337]

Come on now, the S65 weighs 20 lbs more than the S54 and plugs right into the E82 chassis.

[@thomastan1658]

I love both my 1M and E46 M3 CSL😊

[@soundflo]

Many guys swap out for the v8 engine

[@bane2]

Both amazing cars but that e46 with the CSL intake is just pure automotive perfection. A set of cams would make the most of that intake and with a proper remap should put down 360+ to the wheels. A couple of choice mods to dial out the rubbery shifter feel and the car would be absolutely dialed!

[@JRB41]

I’d go with the E46. I’m a E91 owner, and personally the E90 M3 is the best looking BMW ever made

[@TonmoyGhosh]

Great video. Chris’s e46 is damn near perfection for me. Makes me want a CsL intake for mine so bad.

[@TacoCrisma]

The e46 m3 has been my dream car since I was 11. I finally drove one last year and almost bought it (couldn’t prove the rod bearing recall was done sadly) - it was incredible - everything I wanted it to be. I don’t even care if it’s not the fastest, it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It drove like an absolute dream.

[@big-R]

What a hard choice. I’m a E46M owner but don’t know which one I’d take if the price was the same. 2 best M cars BMW ever made IMO.

[@Unicornpirate]

Would love to see a review of a 1M with a S65 V8 in it. That will give you the sound and NA response paired with the driving dynamics of the 1M.

[@mrkim8822]

BMW 05 zhp convertible is the most underrated E46. Not too hard to maintain and enough M power for fun. Cruising around the canyons. Because it's so fun to drive luv taking the longer route home. BMW M3 is a beast but the maintenance is not good. Thanx for the review 😊

[@Vision33r]

The 1M can be built up from a 1 series chasis and have someone swap in the N54 engine and drivetrain then adding the rear LSD and bits.

[@MrZyLeXx]

dont even need to swap the engine, just get a 135i

[@Unicornpirate]

It takes a lot more than adding the drivetrain and rear LSD. You need to take the bodykit, rear subframe, suspension, brakes, wheels...its not easy to make a regular 135i into a 1M.

[@Vision33r]

@@Unicornpirate I understand but most people who drive it on normal road don't really need all of the M stuff. The most important part is getting the body kit and the exhaust tips then a 135i car.

[@Unicornpirate]

@@Vision33r What? I can't understand what you are saying. The most important part is that a 1M drives very different lol compared to a 135i. That's all you need to know

[@Vision33r]

@@UnicornpirateBecause 1M is tuned for sports motoring and the 135i is just a road car. But usage case for most people is they are going to drive it 99% of the times on civilian roads. 135i will always be soften unless it gets tuned. The hydraulic steering is gone on the 135i.

[@racsowang]

If you walk into a BMW showroom in 2001, there were E46 M3, E39 M5, E38 7 Series, E53 X5. The E46 was more connected (sound /handling) than the 1M, and the later M2/C/CS. Both are great cars but my vote goes to the older E46.

[@27Ctrojans]

I enjoyed this one as those are 2 of my favorite cars and agree with your conclusions. 1m is for collectors and e46 is for the drivers. I think the mods on this one are perfect.... Have you driven the z4m coupe or vert? I prefer the z4m to the e46 because of the quicker steering rack and the shifter, which is the best of any bmw ive driven. Its a bit more twitchy but that makes it more fun

[@fergalwalshe5958]

Top class review

[@danielparisi6614]

This is the perfect E46. Suspension, brakes, CSL intake and a pole position. It's perfect

[@Poorschedriver]

I like the styling of the 1M, but sat next to the E46 M3, it almost looks like a caricature compared to the timeless design of the E46. It's is amazing how well that car has aged, and how timeless the design still is.

[@nickherrera577]

Ive owned the base version of these cars: an 03 330ci & 12 128i (both on koni silvers) and i gotta give it to the E46 for perfect balance. Both cars are amazing, but like u said the swb on the e82 makes it snappy esp on an informal setup as far as tires and proper suspension goes! Tracked and canyon’d both cars too and my point stays… Oh and the e82 snapped on me outta nowhere causing a minor mishap😅 Both cars are amazing drivers cars regardless though, would recommend 10/10!

[@frankb5603]

Great video! Thanks.

[@gt1r]

For sub-$100k, I haven’t been able to find anything equally rewarding to drive in the canyons than an E46. Even an S2000, feels far more twitchy and less composed. The phenomena of truly being able to steer with your feet in the E46 will only be fully understood by those who have driven a properly setup E46, it’s fantastic. Everything feels so natural in that car, just allows you to focus on driving itself!

[@big-R]

I’ve had a stock s2000 for a while and picked up a slightly modded E46 (quite a bit less than in the video), and was in fact positively surprised how it behaves on roads and on track when pushed. It makes you think that besides a convertible element, the M3, even being a much heavier car and a 4 seater, appears to put the S2K to shame in pretty much any element. Not something I expected.

[@KuostA]

that's surprising but amazing to hear! so there's nothing about the s better than your e46m, and the e46m is just outright better in every way all around? @@big-R

[@big-R]

@@KuostAthe shifter action is subjectively better on the s2000, the steering rack ratio feels better but the wheel has less feedback. S2000 does feel lighter but at no point it feels faster on track or road, at least not with my original 24 year old suspension. I know a lot of S2Ks have new suspension by now, perhaps that would make the bigger difference. It's also a bit of an unfair comparison because my M no longer has the original suspension.

[@daylatedrift]

I traded an 00 s2k for an 03 z06. The ls doesn't have as much character as the f20 or bmw and the interior isn't as well put together/quality. But the driving experience and bang for buck performance/reliability is unmatched. The s2k with good springs and tires changes direction faster at low speed and the m3 needs a chassis mounted shifter and coilovers. The vette needs a thermostat and fans tuned but there's a reason all of my videos are of my c6 zr1 and c6 grand sport, nothing else compares

[@big-R]

@@daylatedrift I sold the C6Z to get the M3 because needed more seats. Performance and sound of the Z cars is expected, but I’m still impressed with the 4 seater car that E46 M3 is from 23 years ago. It is slower than the C5Z, but doesn’t really feel that much slower. Had C5Z walk around me on Hockenheim, although it wasn’t night and day difference. Unfortunately the S2000 does actually feel a fair bit slower in the acceleration than these other cars… I still love it though. Z06 is the only real 2 seater sportscar of these 3 (s2k is a roadster and not performance oriented but does well). M3 is the grand tourer with 4 seats yet it drives almost like a proper sportscar, and easily does so with a few mods. I’m impressed.

[@DC5Brandon]

Not a big BMW fan, but these are the two of my three fav BMWs (Z4 M is the third). Before watching the review, I would pick the less popular, parts bin 1M, granted it may be more expensive. I find this one far more rare to see on the road in my town.

Both are such dreamcars but for me it would be the 1M, in valencia orange too.

[@chasejohnson6587]

Fenton, how’s the fatigue factor in this well-damped, full-interior E46? I’m looking at doing a dual-purpose E46 build, but I’m not sure about the balance between analog driving satisfaction and NVH/comfort on this platform. The balance of these is excellent in my M2C, which makes it a breeze to drive to HPDEs. My goal is always to avoid trailering if possible! Thanks for this content, as always.

I know you've done a track modified one and a supercharged one back in the early days of your channel, but I feel like you've evolved as a reviewer and I'd love to see your thoughts on a nice OEM or OEM+ E36 M3. Is it a budget reliable M3 like Jason Camisa said in his Revelations video? P.S. Keep up the great work. Have been a big fan since early in your channel history!

[@dreamdrivedrift]

I used to own a E36 for years prior to owning the E46 (I am the owner of the E46 in this video). It was pretty much a OE+ basic HPDE build and fun to drive though the E46 feels more special because of the engine. The US S50/S52 sounds really good though, whereas the S54 can sound too raspy/tinny. The maintenance required for the E36 is very similar to the E46 (all bushings go bad, all suspension goes bad, everything leaks, interior falls apart, etc), but the engine requires less maintenance and is more bulletproof than the E46. Have friends with > 200K on heavily tracked E36s still going strong.

[@TheFear37]

​@@dreamdrivedriftengine aside, how is the chassis?

Not sure how it is on the west coast or wherever this was filmed but on the east here in Atlanta you can find a really nice example e46 under 30 all day long. Even 20-25k will get you a nice example with the big 3 done. And as an owner of one I hate to say it but the bubble has burst on these and will be a while before they go back up in value. So as of now especially compared to a 1M, they are a bargain and is the easy driver’s choice.

[@chaseespinoza4288]

Fenton, I have to ask. Dollar for dollar, if one has a comfy daily and doesn’t need practicality, is a mild E46 build a superior experience to the M2C? I’m in love with my manual M2C, and have grown to appreciate the S55 for its virtues even though it lacks character. I keep going through short ownership experiences with various additions to my garage (all of which I drive on street and track), but my mild M2C build is always the last man standing. I’m pretty much resolved to keep M2C forever, as a street and track toy. Still, I can’t help myself with thinking the E46 might be worth a swap if doing the right build. What do you think? How do they stack up?

[@myflourishingfam]

Leaning towards the e46 but a 1m with the s65 swap would be tempting

Looks like it s is original intake system from M3 CSL on the E46, with clap to avoid noise in towns (regulations for streets blabla...), Usually for that configuration if you don't put car in sport mode the clap does not open, that means less air-> less power und much less sound!

That's not a standard e46 manual shifter, shift knob or gaiter. What you get is a broom stick with an unweighted knob attached to a long leather gaiter. It's horrid, especially at 20 years old. 1st and 2nd are so hard to find you need to use the satnav for help. Maybe whoever fitter the manual setup to the SMG box here managed to sort all the floppy sloppy bushes and joins and maybe fitted a 2 arm shifter rod or something. The oem manual box is not nice. IRO sound, if you can shut the exhaust up (any amount of leakage is deafening) and open the intake sound its glorious. You want all the noise from the front and none of it from underneath or the back really. Sadly in 2024, an E46 doesn't feel that fast anywhere but 8k rpm, which you can only do in 1st and 2nd, which you can't ever get into in a manual. Swapped mine for an F83 and absolutely don't regret it.

Many reasons, looks better, sounds better, revs to 8000, more raw and engaging to drive

[@f430ferrari5]

The engine issue is just more Rod bearing replacement. The vanos upgrade should just be once and then only need valve adjustment. As for subframe yes it does need to be reinforced. They are kits. There are some other areas too but it would seem the money once puts in the car is holding its value. The NA motor may never come back at this point. Forced induction does have its drawbacks and they are getting to be a dime a dozen. The 65k will drop way down to 25k pretty easy over the years.
