The Definitive Review: M3 Competition feat G82 M4 and E30 M3 - Jason Cammisa on the Icons - Ep. 03

The G80 M3 can't live up to our expectations from the M3 badge when the G20 3-series it's based on barely resembles a 3-series.
Or can it?
Custom T-Shirts Thanks To:
drivetees.creator-spring.com/
In this episode of ICONS, Jason explores where our expectations of the M3 badge come from - starting from the original M3, which was a response to the FIA homologations-special Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16.
Holding any M3 to the standard of the E30 M3 isn't fair to BMW, because the E30 M3 was a sales failure.
The E46 M3 wasn't. It combined the charms of a race car in a usable daily package with killer performance and a motorsports-inspired, 8000-rpm S54 straight-six. The E46 M3 was peak M3.
Which leaves us at the G80, which is now larger than Peak M5: the E39. M5s, historically, were do-everything-well executive saloons. That's a great bunch of attributes, but it's not what we expect when we see an M3 badge.
Then again, the G80 is the best M3 to ever drive around a race track. So maybe its name is irrelevant.
And once again, an enormous, heartfelt thank you to Tammi Hull and to Saint Bill, owner of Bill Arnold Independent BMW in San Rafael, CA.

Youre exactly right, and that’s intentional. If you adjust for inflation the new m4 cost about the same as all previous models have through time. This makes the m2 a cut price hero (despite it being a 50k car). The entire market has shifted up a sector, and m5 costs what used to be Ferrari money and it puts down what used to be Ferrari numbers. M2, c43, a45, s3 etc, they’ve already created this new undercard of really high value street fighters.

The e36 m3 was a MASSIVE leap in performance over the e30m. Yes even the us spec. Not sure why you'd skip over it. That's pretty lame.

[@chrismartin5870]

Exactly....and e36 raced plenty. Not true to say that subsequent models weren't raced.

[@hjd5973]

@@chrismartin5870 still very fast car. There is video its beating a 440i (B58). Its even fast as a E46 M3, due to less weight

[@hamie63_m]

I love the E36 but they perfected it with the E46 that's why

[@whatevernevermind5960]

The best M3 after the E46 imo

[@ependergrass]

E36 M3 is used to being the red-headed step child. Missed out on the euro engine in the US too. That's okay, still a masterful car and wonderful to drive :)

The Drift gimmick is like a drift zone in Forza

[@1991julez]

Probably one of the coolest KZbin intros ever

[@ethanhuang7593]

Absolutely LOVE the production on this. And Cammisa, you have been HOLDING back your hosting skills for an opportunity like this!!! Congrats, taking it to Motortrend and giving it to them up the A#%! Yes, they are pooping in their pants right now.

[@FarideLadak]

I must admit Hagerty and Jason just keep raising the ante on this platform. Love it 👍

[@torqueworx6671]

Cant beat new and old school in one video, great work

[@user-rp5iq8gb2r]

I always wait for Randy's scenes. He's a living legend.. Seeing the 190E doing donuts around the E30 is just too legendary..

[@greg-beech]

This is one of the best pieces of automotive journalism I’ve ever watched. Outstanding work.

22:33 "closed course, professional exaggerator" hahahah

[@Ruhjuh]

coffee came out of my nouse when I read that 🤣

[@djipka]

This has to be one of the top 3 best car videos of all time! Back in the day we all watched Top Gear, but this hear is a whole new level and I LOVE IT!!!!

[@StillSpintheWalkingMan]

You guys have the absolute best and most dramatic photography, writing, visual direction, and editing quality I've yet to see on this platform. Please keep it coming. And also please do a Revelations video on the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II. Lol

[@jafu745]

Hagerty winning the quirky cinematic automotive media, the big intro AND the caption game hard.

[@spec.g]

Hagerty's new content is excellent overall, with Jason's being the best. And this episode somehow took this series to another level! Insightful, educational, humorous, and fun at the same time. Nice job!

[@jeffhamler2609]

Great job Jason, I’m a big fan from your Car and Driver days with Johnny L. So glad to see you back and with Randy too!!! You make me so proud to be a self proclaimed car enthusiast guy every time I watch any of your car videos sir. Yeah let’s go!!! You are an absolute Genuine bro 😎 👍🏾

[@pranman710]

CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED channel.

[@pookiemonkey1474]

This production gave me goosebumps. And seeing two legends on the same episode was just perfect

[@ntwalipat2]

And narration!

[@JW-ur1jw]

if you take out the speech and the Mercedes out of the intro, the intro would make a great BMW ad.

[@codylarson6842]

It’s like you got his point ;)

[@darrynvermaak9055]

I don’t think I’ve ever liked three videos in a row until I came across this channel, the production quality is flawless :o

[@ponanikhoza1934]

The man gives more attention to his car industry knowledge than whether his t-shirts are well ironed or not. Certainly one of the best car journalists ever.

[@Micha_7F]

As a german i need to say: „I love you imitating zee german language!“

[@JasonCammisa]

Vielen Dank!

[@Zierfish]

as anozer German, I feel ze zame großartiger Content Jason! Keep it up. Just a shame we can’t get hagerty insurance over here ;D

[@JasonCammisa]

@@Zierfish Wir arbeiten daran... Stay tuned. :)

[@sneff1052]

He doesn't need to imitate it he can speaks german.

[@harrisonsiegel9536]

Jason grew up in Germany!

[@Pamulav]

Man this guy is good. The visuals next level. Sitting in front of the Mercedes with those old lights on and watching on that CRT TV.. Someone's doing an excellent job with the cinematography here, it looks like watching a jerry bruckheimer movie not a KZbin video, plus the excitement of this guy seems genuine authentic

[@Sikeslikescars]

Seriously one of the greatest KZbin videos I have ever watched. amazing work from everyone who put this together.

[@mannysmandatories5595]

This channel has become my benchmark of quality content. script, story, presentation, host, animation, topic. EVERYTHING

[@rami8444]

17:15 -the coolest transition I’ve ever seen in a car vid. Perfect.

[@slasheerr946]

Yes!! There cinematography is on whole different level! Sometimes I forget, that its just a KZbin video and not actually show that I'm paying for, But content this good, I would definitely pay for it and I do think Hagerty and Jason should make a KZbin RED/ KZbin Original season so that they can get more money out of these outstanding short films! I do wish that they uploaded on week or bi-weekly basis but I can definitely tell that they are spending their time polishing these projects and I can't even argue with that!
