BMW E93 M3- The Sound of Thunder

Forget future classics- BMW "E9X" generation of M3 was a classic the day it was released. With its tempestuous, 8400-rpm, 4-liter V8, the E9X M3 singlehandedly proved that progress is not always a bad thing.
Anson's E93 hardtop convertible M3, with its full aftermarket exhaust, is easily one of the best sounding things you'll hear this side of an Italian V12, and he was kind enough to let Ben play with it for a day.

[@lawrencemarkham479]

I'm in Sydney Australia and I bought the car .. and got the plate! Thanks for the inspiration Anson ..

[@Goosht]

Dead on when he talked about why he likes cars. I've explained that to others that ask why I am obsessed. It's a machine that you are responsible for, it goes places, it can go fast, it can cruise and most of all, it has taken a century to get to where we are here!

[@starcloud4959]

- do you think the electric car generation(soon-ish)will apreciate this? and/or will an EV ever be able to capture the imagination and driver feeling that an M3 has?

[@DrTeinaz]

The remark about the century of progress is spot on! We enthusiasts appreciate that aspect a lot more than most.

[@markh3097]

Great shots! I have a lot of respect for people that buy the car they want, instead of the car they "should" buy.

[@samzheng7880]

I really like what Anson said in the end of the video. As a car enthusiast, owning, driving, living with your favorite car is what matters. As a e92 m3 owner, I'd forget about all the numbers they put on the track or 1/4 miles, be able to enjoy every moment with the car is what attracts me the most.

[@GearsandGasoline]

+Sam Zheng Anson gets it, dude.

[@stefanfreestylez]

Forget becuase it isnt that fast😂😂 jk some nights thats all u need a naturally aspirated high reving v8 with a third pedal

[@terrillcooke338]

That key exchange tho lol. Great vid guys. The owner seems like such a cool guy. He and this car seem like a perfect match.

[@ashwinvisw]

Yep it felt like the owner was truly passionate and knowledgeable about his vehicle. :)

[@GearsandGasoline]

Good morning, guys! Hope you enjoyed the feature! We had a blast with this one.

[@rileyv6707]

Gears and Gasoline how long does it take to produce your vids. The shots and the editing are Great!

[@GearsandGasoline]

the HORIZON Depends! spent the better part of a month editing this one, and we took maybe 7 or 8 hours to shoot it? But that's an abnormally long time in the edit. We usually don't have that much time haha.

[@rolon-ew5kl]

the HORIZON It should take a lot of time because that quality is great.

[@franciscojlcn2256]

Bro you said e93 m3, love your videos btw.

[@JSKLeopard]

Amazing video.

[@SunnyDukes]

One of the best cars I've ever owned. That feeling of driving top down with a nice exhaust is priceless!

That was a really cool video, well done. I like M3's too :)

[@gonyvido]

Wow, you here! Hello :)

[@SpencerBerke]

Dido Meira yo

[@jax1079]

Totally right about the sound. Pulled up next to a current M4 at a red light in my Corvette. Got a little revvy. Felt bad for him. The E92, on the other hand... That thing sounds like a buzz saw!

[@GunmetalG]

I own a 1973 Camaro with a built 355. Stopped at a red light and an e92 M3 pulled up with a Borla Atak exhaust. Me and the guy started talking and complimenting eachothers rides. I love the sound of the S65! We start revving for fun. We both were giggling like little girls but something about an old school American V8 does wonders to the soul. He wanted my car bad and truthfully I wanted his haha but nothing will make me sell my Camaro. Cool story man and love this videos on this channel!

[@RogPics]

Well done video. I have a 2010 E92 - M3, and you have absolutely nailed the experience of this engineering achievement. Engine of the Year for the 3.0 to 4.0 L category in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. In 2013, the honors went to the McLaren M838T.. nice company to keep. The E92 M3 with DCT will do 0-60 in a respectable 4.5s. Add intake and downpipes with a tune and you will be making close to 450 hp. This is a 244 CID, double overhead cam, hemi-head, 32 valve engine with 8 individual fuel injection bodies making 100 hp per L.. gotta love it, and thanks for the Vid!

[@jwardTLS]

awesome title, very appropriate. I really like that phrasing. I just installed an Eisenmann exhaust on my E92 the other day to get that beautiful V8 sound opened up. So amazing. I sold my worked over 135i to buy the E92 for that sound and overall driving experience. Don't regret it for a second. I like the owner in this video. His perspective is spot on. I really appreciate his argument for the convertible (E93). If you have 0 desire to track the car, then you can justify the convertible top. Even with the added weight, on the street I don't think you really care because compared to turbo cars of today, this isn't even that fast. It's not like you're going to be racing straight-line - this car is much more about the overall experience, and breathing with the motor as it climbs the rev range. Love the production value of the video as well guys.

[@GearsandGasoline]

JordanTWard For sure! As far as potency and a track weapon, we'd go with the F80, but the E9X is the king of driving experience.

[@TWRX_Chuck]

amazing as usual 👌 e92 M3 will forever be one of my favorites.

[@TWRX_Chuck]

to be fair I'd love the shiz out of an e90 as well because kids and such.

[@Dsqr2WIN]

Perfect video. Anson said it perfectly! To every person and what they are looking to get out of the car is different. He got one that best fit him and what he loves. THAT is what being a car enthusiast is about. Fantastic video. Has got me even more interesting in buying one!

[@doctortruth4094]

I've owned over 70 cars, of all kinds. The E92M3 is my favorite.

[@akifkhan6412]

Absolutely one of the best reviews of the E9X generation M3's i've seen to date. My lease recently came up on an F80 LCI M3 and this makes me want to go back in time and experience the V8 E93... Way to go! Instant subscriber. 👏🏽👍🏽

[@jaeshim8261]

will be a masterpiece classic car

[@buzzyinurface]

I have to say this review is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Excellent piece of car filmography

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

Never knew these had an 8400rpm redline, that's insane.

[@mattbudesa3038]

It's actually 8250rpm.

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

The V8 in the E9X gen is apparently the same exact V10 engine(the ones from M5/M6 from the time) from their race series but with 2 cylinders cut off, so its a very high revving engine with linear power. Unfortunately it being a race engine it brings alot of reliability problems just like the V10 did because a race engine isnt exactly designed to be driven everyday. Non the less, the scream of this engine makes this generation my favourite that no straight six can top off.

[@anirbansarkar6414]

the cinematography level is freaking outta the world 🤘🤘🤘

[@bernardbarbour]

Done! Best review ever why to get the convertible with a six speed. Looking at one now and this review solidified my decision to more forward with the purchase. Thank you.

[@Jnines]

man... i love the editing... cant agree more. got the 2013 m3 e93 in alpine white w/ meisterchaft gt2. daily driving it and it puts a smile on my face.

[@ThePatrickBateman69]

Hows reliability compared to the E60 M5?

[@Jnines]

@@ThePatrickBateman69 technically the s65 engine (e9x engine) is based off the s85 (e60 m5). As for reliability (without comparing to the e60), it has been very good. Just your basic maintenance program, got BE rod bearings with ARP bolts replaced, throttle actuators and idle control valve replaced. other then that it hasn't been any issues.

[@oOJakkeOo]

Just got an E91 325i a few days ago and now I can't help myself but to watch tons of 335i and M3 videos lol! Love the sound and feel of BMWs.

Not everyone cares about track times you just want a sports car that feels good and is fun.

[@tiagop720]

E92 and E46 have the looks and the sound... The two best ever M3.

[@HNRichard]

The dude's right, a convertible with a good engine, handling, and a good exhaust is actually much more enjoyable than driving a non-convertible car. I had a blast driving in my SLK200, even though it's not as fast as an M3 convertible, but like the guy said. I can hear and enjoy the exhaust sounds, whilst blaring through the highway.

[@trentmeister6001]

[@GearsandGasoline]

Zoran Haliant Thanks so much bro!

[@joehew1641]

Am I the only person who gets shivers from the exhaust sounds. It sounds so good!!

[@TheHDTheater]

First off, top notch cinematography and great commentating dudes. Second, I can't agree more with the owner's opinion about owning the convertible for the experience rather than owning a coupe due to the weight deferential. My father, close to retirement, purchased a 2001 Z3M Roadster (with S54M32/ e46 M3 motor) nearly three years ago. I've been fortunate enough to not only learn to drive stick with it, but also take it out on drives by myself. The feeling of the wind, top down, and listening to a wonderful exhaust note is all the argument you need to pick a convertible model over a hard top if you're in the market and on the fence. If you are looking at sports cars and don't intend on winning track races with it, go for the convertible spec because the experience in it trumps that of any hardtop trim. And if you've never driven in a convertible, make it happen. You'll quickly realize that driving slow/ the speed limit with the top down is almost equally as fun as driving (fast) in a hardtop.

[@Chris-qc9dj]

Exhaust brand?

Can you PLEASE answer the million different comments here and say what exhaust is installed on that car?

Totally agree with the rationale. I have an e46 M3 which I couldnt cope with selling and a modded e90 M3 which works for me. Bought it after driving an F80 back to back. It's that V8 all day long. Intoxicating

[@Shrrby]

that intro was great! felt like a spy movie or something

[@facundogonzalez5034]

Excellent video like all the others. Great job. Here a fan from Uruguay, South America.

[@Jigsaw1988]

I agree with everything in the video. The E93 is very underrated. You buy this car for the experience and if you don't intend to drive it on the track, the convertible is in my opinion the best choice. Yes you can argue about it not being a straight six, which is the classic go-to M enginge. But as being said in the video, they keep on changing the enginge with every generation now since the 2000's. And to be honest, the NA V8 sounds way better then the E46 rather raspy straight six.

[@Blaylock1988]

+Ashwin Venkat You're too kind! Check out our Patreon! You can donate and we'll send you things and stuff!

[@daliborpuchta1952]

In my opinion, E64 M6 is the ultimate M convertible. It weights essentially the same (E93s are HEAVY), yet has even better sound (S85 V10) with more power. Better, more luxurious interior (leather everywhere, HUD, more stylish, better seats etc), vastly bigger trunkspace. And that independent retractable rear window is really cool, when you want to enjoy that V10 scream even with roof and side windows up, on the motorway for example. The SMG is ok, if you're not stuck in traffic all the time. I had a low milage E64 M6 and I still regret selling it. Those roadtrips were unforgettable.
