It's the best-looking M3 ever made IMO. It's also the most criminally underrated M car ever. Yes, the very first models were very spiky on a damp road, but the Competition and especially the CS version made it so much more tied down, and frankly, better. It's a better all-around car than the E90 M3 IMO, and the M4 GTS... One of the best M cars in a decade.

fuckoffgoogle You did see the first part of the video where Chris drives the M3 on open roads? All in all, you don't burn / waste more rubber on a M3 than on an AWD-car with that amount of power. Yeah, the rear tires get it hard. On an AWD-car you burn the rear tires less but you burn your front tires, too. Not a real comparison but I had an E39 M5 a couple of years ago. Not turbocharged but very capable of drifting. And you know what? If you don't go nuts the tires were not an issue at all. BUT: If you want to go nuts from time to time and still want to have daily-use-capabilities, there's no better car than an RWD M-car.

Why do people whine so much about the sound? It's a very good sounding car by any standard. I dare you to drive it and say "it sounds bad". Also...why does nobody on the internet (it doesn't matter, those people can't and won't buy it anyway) realize the point of this car? This is not a track car, or a race car. This is sporty luxury saloon car. This M3, and the current generation of the M5, are EXACTLY what these cars are all about. A combination of a luxury car that can be used every day, for every possible imaginable purpose, that looks tasteful but aggressive enough, that has a comfortable and luxurious interior, but can also be a sports car, that can be driven hard fun on THE ROAD (where 99% of these cars will spend 99% of their time) and driven very quickly on THE ROAD while remaining civilized. This is not a track car. Do you people realize the difference between a race track and a road? Do you realize how much different the setup of a car has to be in order to extract everything out of it on a track? Cars are set up for roads that have bumps, camber changes, surface changes, elevation changes, etc. Not for smooth tracks with a perfect surface and dry tarmac. The point of this car is to be comfortable, refined, luxurious AND sporty at the same time, and that requiers certain sacrifices. You have to get the balance right, and BMW did it. If the car was any softer overall, it would be too soft and too close to the regular 3 series. If it was any harder, it would be too uncomfortable on the road. If you want a track car, but a Cayman S, not a 4 door family sedan. There's no point in taking a family sedan and turning it into a hardcore stripped out race car, it's very inefficient and franky a waste of time.

@rolft55749 жыл бұрын
I know a turbo M3 is odd but why not! BMW always stayed away from turbocharging because back then NA motors were much smoother to drive, the old straight 6 motors were lovely & do sound great. These twin turbo setups have come a long way & appear pretty fine tuned compared to your average old school high pressure single turbo whop in the guts/wheels. As long as the motor retains its driveability but is making more power im all for it, IMHO this is still in the "M" spirit. The lack of tuneful NA sounds is a bit of a blow, I think this has always been a large part of the M3 although I personally also like the different character a turbo gives to an engine. On the plus side, some simple bolt on mods & mild tuning would likely turn it into a pretty raucous thing.

The first M3 in a long time to have an "ordinary" engine. I think that's a problem. The m3 six's in the 90s and early 00s were as well thought of as any engine on sale, and the last v8 was spectacular, although sadly it was in a heavy car. Shame in my book - the hint of exotic was the whole point. Now it's just a fast saloon. Competency is trumped by occasion every time.

@Malc180s9 жыл бұрын
roy kwon You're clearly the sort of person who doesn't understand. Fine. The only thing history will judge an engine on is sound and feel. The power, the torque, that WILL be bettered with the next model, and the next, and the next. The e46 and e92 engines are as good as it will EVER get for BMW. They were as good an engine as was available at their respective times - you could have reasonably argued that the e46 '6 was better than ANY other engine on sale in 2000. You can't do that with the new car. It's not even slightly close. It's not about performance - performance is dictated by marketing. "It must be a bit faster, but not so fast as we can't release a new one in a few years". BMW could have made this current 6 with 800bhp - that's not beyond the realms of current technology. But a 340bhp, 3.2 6 from 15 years ago? Sure, there's always a bit of a safety margin, but with that you were buying the best BMW could make.
@CJM44.419 жыл бұрын
roy kwon What are you on about? The S85B50 came out of the F1 programme at the very end of the V10 era. The S65B40 has been in use in the United Sports Car Series (ALMS before it was called the USCS) for several years now as well. Not like the new S55 is used in motorsport at all... They're still using a bespoke V8 in the DTM M4. Face it, the previous E9x M3 was far more of an event to drive because of its engine and having to rev it out to extract that brilliantly entertaining performance. I personally thought the steering was excellent in the E90 I drove too. Sure, its heavier than its successor and ultimately not as capable but is that all cars have become nowadays? Not saying the F8x M3/4 isn't a hoot to drive but I simply don't think the character and exclusivity of the previous car is there anymore.

I get it, and there maybe some lost in translation here. I've never considered Bmw to be the ultimate drivers car and could really care less with how much they're involved with motor sports as long as they continue to make fast cars. If you want a car that makes every drive an event then go look at Porsche. I buy bmws for daily drivability and with the option to track when wanted. The chassis is an 3 series for gods sake. It's not a real sports car and never will be. Get on with it. I've blown my s54 on track and had an s85 with a bad oil analysis from bad rod bearings. The clearances were too tight and not enough lubrication was available. The only way to fix the issue was too machine the crank and get new bearings. And that's the case for every s54,s65,s85 ever made. Your mileage may vary but that was 2 for 2 for me. Apparently Bmw knew this issue and changed to a flat plane crank on their race blocks among other benefits. So yes, I'd much rather have a sporty motor than a half assed race "derived" motor that they have been marketing to us all this time. Besides the f80 chassis is a notch above an e46 or e90 in handling. Luckily for you guys the e46 and e90 cars are selling for a song and are in no short supply. So enjoy them if that's how you truly feel. I put my money where my mouth is
@Malc180s9 жыл бұрын
roy kwon Approach with low expectations and I guess you'll be satisfied with any old rubbish. The whole entire point of the m3 was to have your everyday 3 series, but with one of the finest, most exciting engines you could buy under the bonnet. All performance engines wear. You just bought a 330i (or 335i these days) if you wanted the fast, easy option. If you wanted the exciting, slightly exotic option which would of course require maintenance and would have higher running costs, you bought the m. The new m3/4 is just a run of the mill bmw. Fun for the 10 minutes a week you actually find time to drive it fast. An e46 was fun reversing off the driveway.

Chris Harris on Cars Chris, you mentioned that there is a "technical stuff" video about the M3 tech, where is this video? I couldn't find it on your channel. Great review as usual, by the way. And I'm not sure why people still moan about manual gearboxes in 2014. These gearboxes are awesome, especially this DCT. I for one prefer a dual clutch over a manual any day. I also prefer this 4 door M3 sedan this time round. I think it's better looking than the 3 door M4 coupe, unlike the previous generation where the 3 door M3 coupe was better looking than the 4 door sedan M3. All my opinions, obviously.
@Beolex9 жыл бұрын
First of all, DCT is completely unnecessary if you aren't already a professional driver. DCT buys you faster shift times, but it doesn't buy you track skill. The only thing that gives you track skill is first-hand experience, such as learning cornering, throttle control, left-foot braking, taming oversteer but minimizing understeer. Race car drivers already mastered racing etiquette, so their lap times are consistent. If they want to improve their already-consistent lap times, that's where the technical things come into play, such as quick gearboxes (whether single or dual clutch), tires, camber and suspension geometry. However, on the street, the DCT gearbox is completely useless. Most of the F30/F80 M3/M4 buyers are only marginally better than the average driver (if not the same or worse). Without a doubt, plenty M3/M4 owners are going to autocross or track their car, but they're going to perform so poorly (compared to experienced racers) that the DCT gearbox didn't help them, they actually needed track skills more than faster shift times. Once you're able to get record-setting, consistent lap times with a manual car, then you have a legitimate reason to desire a DCT. Second of all, people who opt for the DCT gearbox claim "its faster on the track" and its "racing technology"... but if you wanted a "fast race car" why are you buying a 3,500 lb. car with heated leather seats and Bluetooth controls? If you want to be a racer, at least do it right and get something that weighs less than 3,000 lbs. such as a Porsche 911 . The only advantage of DCT on the street is that you can beat your friends in a drag race. But drag races on the street are stupid because the next traffic light is going to turn red and you're going to end up right next to him.

M4 Comp - still the best and most enjoyable car I have owned. Looked gorgeous and stylishly aggressive. Fighter jet driving dynamics yet fine as a DD. Still miss it, even in my F90.

Oddly this is the first good review I've seen of this car. It's been ripped in every review. The EVO review I watched yesterday hated it.

Chris, c'mon my friend... We all love you to death, but to refer to the E92 as, "probably not the best package"(???)... let's not get too carried away here, ok. And claiming that most M car's brakes "feel like they are made of butter"??? Again, a bit of a head scratcher, as the E92 brakes are fantastically strong and full of wonderful feel. The new F80 is obviously a magnificent M car, but in its own new ways. The previous E92 was (and still is) a magnificent M car as well, and in many respects I prefer IT over the new F80. To be perfectly honest, I'd like one of each please! Thanks for the most informative and well done auto videos in the business Chris (and Drive)... But let's not forget the past quite so quickly!

It's just his opinion. Like most of what he says in his videos.

There's a reason AP Racing and Brembo make larger brake kits for them. The brakes on my CSL were the weakest link so out they came and in went AP 6 pots /4 pots. Positive pedal and 0 fade. Replacement rotors are a second mortgage on the house but a worth while compromise to not bin it. It is an odd opinion though given the ceramic package is on the car.

I love the e90/92/93 series m3 as well! But i think its too overrated while this new m3 is really under rated! I hate how a lot of magazines are saying how the f80 is a bad car because the engine doesn't sound as good as the previous versions! i've driven the e92 around willow springs and the new M4! The M4 is in a different league when it comes to sophistication in the chassis, gearbox and engine! the e92 around willow had too much understeer and the brake pedal was unbelievably stiff and the braking performance was okay! And according to owners of the e46 M3 I've talked to, they also say that the e46's brakes are really bad!

Chris Harris on Cars you would take one with the DCT over the 6spd manual? I know it's an amazing gearbox, surely faster, but have they made it so good you would prefer one to a standard 6spd for your own car?
@Kevin-nm6ky9 жыл бұрын
So, Chris Harris, would you take the DCT instead the manual gearbox? (I mean for "common" use, not for circuit racing).

It's still hilarious to me that people talk more about the sound the car makes rather than what the car does. As many times as I've watched this review, it still never gets old. Chris' reaction to the monster drifts on the circuit is still funny as hell.

I'd buy this over the new 2023. Probably a bargain now rather than paying for that awfully expensive g80 m3 comp. Even with anticipation of repairs and service costs, it's still gonna be cheaper than buying a new g80

This is a terrible review (as usual with Chris Harris). M cars are capable of so much more than what he shows here. In this video Chris pretty much makes the M3 look like nothing more than a fancy drift machine. The truth is FAR more entertaining than what this video shows!!
