Review: 2016 BMW M3 w/ Competition Package

[@bojangifier]

I live for his acceleration reactions 😂

[@marianagarduno9846]

Most people complain about the M3 because they haven't driven one yet...

[@PaulSvk84]

yep, spot on!

[@Urban_atelierbyabe]

100% fact, I didn't listen to any of them 😕 I just went and bought mine,im obsessed with it, everything is perfect 😍, no complaints 👌.

[@asmoov]

Then what are they complaining about lol

[@JD0509]

M3 is the best. Simple interior, nice visibility, analog meters, line 6 engine, rear wheel and nice exhaust sound

[@VaunShiz]

j dutt that's a opinion many will disagree with, boring outdated guages and interior, tin can sounding exhaust, the how is a inline6 a pro when it sounds like crap they have to play noises through the speakers

I had a 1500km trip in our long termer at Auto Bild. Its a great car the M3 competition. Still like the M2 more as a drivers car and for its small size, but that engine here really is a rocket. Great review Matt!

[@Villaintrader12]

why do people prefer touch screens when you can just lay your arm to your right and find anything you are looking for with little effort. imagine how hard it would be to be driving and having to take your eyes of the road to stare at the screen for a couple of seconds to find the button you are looking for and make sure you press it!

[@chitterlingsrtasty]

Prefer a good function touch screen over messing with that dial. With the interaction with phones and tablets touching a screen vs a button is more intuitive.

[@Pjmperez01]

Ricardo Morales i dont prefer touchscreen and whoever says touchscreen is better were lying to themselves because they would say its much better but deep inside they just want to act like touchscreen is cool and just discreetly showing off to other people, its pathetic. Touchscreen in the end is not future proof and expensive to replace and just a distraction while driving. And thats coming from my generation “i want touchscreen, coz its cool” type.

this car sounds great a lot of haters out there

[@aaroneberle5920]

Matt, thanks again for coming to Columbus to do the review! Your opinion is pretty much spot on with my personal thoughts about the M3 as well. It's definitely not a perfect vehicle, but it's a heck of an overall package. The GTS flash is only for the DCT (dual clutch transmission) and makes no engine changes. Only improved shifting and smoothness. Best regards, and I look forward to more excellent car reviews in the future! Aaron

[@Albertoepicness]

" i love all the details, from the bulging hood, the bulging side mirrors everything is bulging like my pants i mean uuh, cut the tape CUT THE TAPE"

[@blaxican_magic2127]

It's a bad ass car my friends dad had a 2011 M3 and then traded it a year ago and bought a 2016 BMW M4 I got to get a ride in the m3 and it was bad ass but I'm just waiting to get one in the M4 because that's my dream car. Great video man I love watching them

[@paultucker1272]

Great video, Matt.......that's a seriously impressive car. I really liked the additional camera angle (from the passenger door/window), too, as it gives a great view of the interior.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks Paul!

[@godzilla862]

Everyone that hears the sound and instantly leaves has no idea how awesome this car is... Custom exhaust and shut up

[@jameswickersham132]

Good review. Love the M3...lots of heritage with that badge. That DCT is awesome. Just not a big fan of the styling...just very busy up front vs the E92/E90 M3s. I miss the sound of the V8 too. Versus the ATSV, I'd take the M3. Performance is marginally better in the ATSV but the interior of the M3 is much more livable (for now---cmon Cadillac!!). Thanks!

[@fefgam]

I love this car!! Im a BMW fan since i drove one, expensive sure but it delivers. Great review as always! Thanks

[@PpLaaY]

Pause, beefy to hold onto is CRAZY!!!

[@HotRefuse]

Nice review. Some constructive criticism: You really should work on eliminating "you know" as a filler word or limiting it. Every so often isn't noticeable, but you're saying it too much. I think it's one way you can improve your videos.

[@VaunShiz]

J Koe the bad part is, he's reviewing a car, so he should be telling us subjective stuff we don't know, him saying you know is admitting he's just telling us stuff *we already know* haha

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Yeah it's something I'm aware of and try to improve. The challenging part is that I never script my reviews and like speaking "off-the-cuff" about what I'm feeling while reviewing. I realize it's more professional to recite a script like most other professional auto journalists, but to me it comes off a little less sincere that way. Nevertheless, I still would like to cut out more of the filler words, it's just not easy for me.

[@HotRefuse]

Definitely don't go scripted. I had to take a class on speech in the military and they taught us to turn filler words into pauses. It's super hard to do, but it adds more depth and value to what you're saying. It's one of those things you have to work yourself away from. Sometimes my wife and I call each other out on filler words. It helps when you're working on it with someone else. I catch myself saying "like." It's the worst!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

+J Koe haha yeah it's a tough habit to break. I took a public speaking class in college that helped me a bit but I think while driving I have so much to focus on (especially when driving quickly) that it makes focusing on speech that much harder. I'm hoping with time to get better with it though because guys like Matt Farah are still very eloquent off the cuff even while driving fast so I know it's possible haha.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

[@efinisky]

I love that car! Not much problems for me and this car is VERY GREAT than other

[@guillermolopez1690]

Anyone else feel like the best days of the M3/M4 are behind them? I mean BMW M doesn’t even want to use them to compete in the main GT races which is what they set out to do with the original M3 when they had to homologate a car to compete. Now they use the M6 and soon the M8 while you’ll only see the M4 racing in GT4 leagues...

[@ViceVersaMusik1]

I hope BMW doesn't listen to the people that complain about there interiors on there M cars!! Those people don't realize that when and if BMW does such a change, I guarantee the PRICE on the Ms will definitely go up $10k-$20k!! All because a bunch of Cry 😭 Babies that probably don't even OWN a newer M, are upset about the already beautiful center dash board!! These people say "Why can't you be more like Mercedes AMG or Audi S and RS series...?" , Like really... SMH!!! If it ain't broke then don't fix it, Only improve it and increase its features... ALL while keeping those Dollar💵Bills💵down💵🤑💯 So people are still able to get an already Beautiful, Sexy Car without having to make six figures a year to be able to afford it and get to play and have fun with such cars 🚗!! Heyy, Awesome Videos Matt Marange... I've been subbed for a long time now, Years!! Just wanted to say congrats on all your KZbin Success and I'm a big supporter of your channel Bro!!!!! Keep up the awesome work. Cheers 🍻 lol 😂

[@yovalgo1]

Someone has to do a "you know" compilation for this video

[@woah6553]

if those gauges were in anything else hed say they were boring.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

An active redline is never boring. Audi definitely has them beat on gauges though.

[@woah6553]

subaruwrxfan Yeah, true, but if we're just talking basic design these are about as plain as it gets.

[@VaunShiz]

Grayson Goss yea, like common, the guages are outdated looking and the screen in the middle is hilariously small for something of this price... Like someone's scared to critique a bmw

[@Beer_Dad1975]

BMW's interior is well overdue for a proper refresh, Mercedes and Audi are definitely a generation ahead of them now. Not that they aren't still nice interiors, they just don't feel as up to date as the competition.

[@dor1tomcswagger69]

Matthew Sharpe Mercedes yes Audi no their interiors are gay and very plain not a fan

[@TonyEG6]

Why don't you review a c63 amg? Would love to see your reaction of the 6.2 amg v8!!!

[@Albertoepicness]

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I'd love to review all the AMGs from Mercedes. Unfortunately nobody offers them to me and Mercedes won't give me press cars so I'm out of luck unless a dealership I work with gets a used one in.

[@Albertoepicness]

subaruwrxfan try forza xD

[@ryandonatien9799]

i love the way you present this vehicle very informative

[@INumba1Stunna]

This new M3 is something cool for sure. I've been a huge M3 fan for years. But when this came out, I didn't feel the same. To me it's just another cool sports car. I'm not gonna say I wouldn't own this car, but I wouldn't buy it with the mindset that I'm buying an M3 .. if that makes sense. And it's probably the only M3 I probably wouldn't get in manual. It just fits this car's personality with the new ones that it should be an auto (paddles). Nice review tho.

[@CarGuy11]

Nice car, hate the fake engine sound. Can you turn off???

[@MattMaranMotoring]

+CarGuy11 not without modding :/

[@SenszR]

You can get a BMW coding specialist to get rid of it.

[@cutthroat795]

You don't like the orange lights in older BMWs? For some reason I really like the orange in my 2008 especially at night.

[@Josh-to7it]

cutthroat795 I love the orange lights on the dash in my '01 330, too. I think it's just cause they look/feel outdated. White looks so much cleaner/modern, but orange makes you feel more at home

[@sergeiholtman1704]

They did not get rid of the orange lights, they will turn on once you turn the headlights on and the whole gauge cluster and the buttons will all turn orange to help preserve your Night vision 🙂

[@EldePHX]

BMW really needs to step it up with there interior quality. especially for what they sell for.

[@RNMAutomotiveAddiction]

Did this car have the Exhaust Flaps open? If not - all you need to do is pull 2 fuses that control the flaps, car will be loud as hell. I did this on mine right away. Also Comp Pack has engine overrun burbles as well. No mention of M1/M2 settings? Thats a main feature of ///M cars.

Undeniably good cars. For me the turn off is that I see them literally everywhere, in the NoVA area you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a dozen M3/M4s

[@slashnduffrock]

cool review man! awesome car!

[@SpyderRios]

The M3 is closer to 3600 lbs in weight. I don't think the car is making any more than advertise. I remember the 2012 Boss 302 was also 3600 lbs and run the quarter mile in 12.3. The M3 Competition package is slightly faster at 12.0 seconds flat. I think most of the advantage has to do with the M3s transmission. The manual version is probably running similar times as the Boss 302 did. I like the M3 looks, the interior is a bit dated but still offers the luxury comforts that are expected out of a 60k luxury vehicle. The only issue I have with this car is that the engine just doesn't sound that great, that's probably my only issue with this car of and the fact that is way out of my reach money wise :D

[@zatharos6427]

SpyderRios in terms of horsepower, BMW has always underrated their turbocharged I6's. Some dyno's have actually shown that 425 hp is at the wheels rather than the crank itself. Theoretically the ZCP makes the car closer to 450ish horsepower

[@luvsc4evr]

I sat in a competition package equipped car and definitely could not fit in those seats at all and I'm kind off a fat ass but not as bad as Porker.

[@That8oySimba9302]

[@sherrybash5399]

Not a complain but...... you are suppose to run the engine in for the first 1000 miles before you start hammering it and then get a first service done. I know I know people will have there views but as far as I am aware you shouldn't drive it hard before the first 1k miles.

Not from BMW you cant. But other makes will still give you a lot of car for 70K. Hell you could buy a Ford GT350 and an econobox commuter. Or a dodge Challenger Hellcat fully loaded.
