Review: 500+HP 2017 BMW M3

I review this 2017 BMW M3 with DCT and the following performance mods: JB4 tune, Burger Motorsports intakes, catless downpipes and KW sleeves. What do you think about it? Huge thanks to Joe (@__joeparker__) for letting me review his car!

[@josephparker9636]

Glad you enjoyed the car Matt !!! It was great meeting you. Let me know next time you are local to Philadelphia

[@xortakiyezidi]

Joseph Parker Sweet Car Bud!

[@kawasakidude2156]

Didnt you have an m2 Supercars of philly reviewed? is this the big surprise????

[@josephparker9636]

kawasakidude 215 yeah I went from the m235i 6 speed manual to the m3 dct.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks again for letting me review it and driving all the way to Pittsburgh!

[@johnreeves2802]

were you two together at lehigh valley? I think i saw u guys and your car.

[@dc777e]

he sounds like Winnie the Pooh when he steps on it 😂

[@protection430]

I love the enthusiasm!! lol Matt can get a beer with me anyday!!!

[@blairgrimley117]

🤣🤣

[@kevinj9315]

Before I watch I already know he's gonna have an amazing reaction to this car

[@klasseact6663]

Matt, your reactions tell the story, no doubt about it!!

[@jaykelz1528]

"Alright so let's turn back on this backroad here..." C L A S S I C

[@E_tiBEAMERBOY]

Not a huge fan of newer BMW's but this one is fucking sick!

[@TrackSlayers]

Why do I get the impression you're really into E46's?

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

E46 BMW DUDE e46 is #1

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

looks dope AF!

[@anthonyeckert97]

check out my review of the 2016 M4 on my channel car is a beast

[@E_tiBEAMERBOY]

Supercars of Philadelphia I have no clue!

[@rosenkrastevvalchev]

You know you bought the right car here. This went from review to joyride. I hope he filled the tank before returning it :)

[@7anashMalaysia]

your reaction never gets old 😉

[@saeedg4271]

The BMS tune changes the Turbos character. Thats why it feels "old school turbo" the OEM tune was optimized to mask this type of sensation. Thanks for the video Matt.

[@HarryTwatter]

wow that's a ton of power for just a tune, bravo BMW

[@VaunShiz]

Wesley Green the cars are underated from the factory lol

[@josephparker9636]

The car now has a back end flash making 546 whp and 555 tq on stock turbos and 93 octane fuel. The s55 engine has lots of potential

[@fowlauto8931]

Wesley Green I know right!

[@Kaisuke971]

This M3 sounds pretty good, nice vid

[@josephparker9636]

Kaisuke971 sounds a lot better now 😉 full exhaust and burble tune now

[@ChrisSs993]

I think the e46 or e92 are a better option if you are not on a track. Having less tourque that soon in the rev-band makes it more drive-able on the street and more fun because you can floor it without ending up in a bush like a mustang ;)

[@Toyota4Life]

true. its all fun and games until you crash and your calling insurance and the police lol

[@isitfast2067]

The e92 is hands down the best out of all the m3

[@oneslowwdsm]

7:05 giddy acceleration. You're welcome.

[@DrDisasta]

Subaruwrxfan: i have been watching your videos for a few weeks now and they are great! Thank you for the vids and keep them coming!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you, I'm glad you like them!

[@Speedaholics]

So the final question, which did you enjoy more: this or ATS-V? Personally I'd take the ATS-V, but I'm biased obviously haha

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Well this one was more fun because of the mods. Stock vs. stock I'd take the ATS-V still. I like the touchscreen of CUE better than iDrive (I'm sure most feel the opposite). The auto in the M3 is definitely superior to the ATS-V's automatic. So if I could go manual, ATS-V, if I had to have an auto, M3.

[@cryptic4446]

I love it when you say, "so lets turn on to this backroad here, and see how it does"😂

[@coureurdebois]

sexy AF i love how aggressive these look, but the E92 is still the best M3.

[@bigden2755]

...and that's your opinion.... NO ONE CARES BUT YOU

[@coureurdebois]

ok?

[@bigden2755]

Of course I'm OK pisspants...You're obviously not...

[@coureurdebois]

i never asked if you were ok, just calm down a bit.

[@f0gGenx]

wow you really triggered that guy lol

[@dcinhere]

Can never go wrong with White, Red, and Black. Just a sexy, sporty, and luxurious combination. No matter what the car.

[@mr.carbine1578]

your personality makes me enjoy watching these type of videos. not your typical boring review

[@webbie1891]

Car looks mean from every angle

[@glepro1640]

Matt I love your videos and been a subscriber for a while so that's why I'm saying this. You need to step your game up! All these other car channels are just blowing up!! I want your channel to be as successful if not more! Do some Collabs or something with these dudes to help your channel grow

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks man. A lot of car channels have decided to do vlogs now which I think is a large part of their growth. Unfortunately my life isn't exciting enough to vlog on a regular basis haha. Next year I am planning to make a few changes to the channel that I'm hoping might help it grow.

[@richardbaron2948]

Great reaction to the power delivery, had me giggling to myself :)

[@RZFitnessTV]

Looks so awesome. Sound and ride setup is great for an F80 M

[@kiliabgonzalez9977]

Am I the only one who doesn't like how bmws sound. Even with exhaust work done to it. A wrx sounds meaner than this

[@staker17]

Kiliab Gonzalez stock vs stock the BMW sounds better. Stock WRX's you don't hear much lol

[@kiliabgonzalez9977]

Metro Boomin I agree stock wrx is pretty lame. STI stock is pretty nice though. Those UEL headers

[@NiddyGriddy_]

Kiliab Gonzalez hell Nah... you're definitely the only one. all m bmw's have amazing sound

[@johnmirabal96]

Kiliab Gonzalez they sound artificial and terrible at the same time 😂

[@VaunShiz]

Kiliab Gonzalez sounds like crap and don't let people fool you the overwhelming reaction to these cars when they came out what how bad they sound

[@angusmace3697]

really digging matts style in this one!

[@jgmzbrz]

Great review matt!! The Nos part was funny lol!!

[@briantrejo7113]

First off, I can't take this guy serious. But, here I am watching his videos. lol

[@eagletalon9735]

Still hoping to see an Acceleration reaction compilation video. lol

[@MattMaranMotoring]

+Talon Faust I do one every time the channel gets another 100k subscribers. You can check out my 100k special and 200k special for the past 2 compilations :)

[@ssaini5028]

whats a better drivers car, the ATS-V or the M3?

[@chinchy111]

+S Saini m3 probably

[@mechanicaldummy9324]

Say what you want but i refuse to believe a Tesla can bring this type of joy and satisfaction

[@tybrown1437]

True:)

[@TonyEG6]

I wanna see more tuned up car mateee

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I have several more coming over the winter!

[@alperoz3098]

subaruwrxfan Can you do a 800 HP+ Audi RS7 if you could find one?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha I'd love to if someone offers one!

[@The_Unkn0wn_5.0]

subaruwrxfan You can drive my lifted LS swap Prius with 500HP.

[@anonymus-ob2uy]

do a review of a supercharged corvette

[@mikedeeeee]

I love these reviews...I'd love to see this formula used for every car not just performance cars

[@mrcutestuff]

He is cute! HAHA! Another Amazing Video!

[@raghurajaram2853]

the guy looks like a freakin pervert, are you joking me

[@julianv.5848]

THE BMW M SERIES THE NEW 21ST CENTURY MUSCLE CAR THAT HANDLES AND GOES...................

[@sophakinggrey206]

The best part of these videos is his reaction when he runs through the gears

[@sixpooltube]

7:05 is where the backroad part begins

[@g2storm]

Your reaction when you put the metal to the pedal NEVER gets old lol

[@joaquinalvear8439]

13:24 my favorite part of the video

[@marc-anthonymurray1289]

24mpg with a tune?! Much better than I am averaging in mine, stock. Lol.

[@tariqo16]

that editing skills tho

[@etshArk87]

the car is new, don't abuse the engine....

[@mees1103]

Who does think the M3 is better then then re C63, Like if you do.

[@GustavLjungberg]

When was this recorded? Shorts in December haha

[@JhysenTheAsian]

VolvoGustav september, the date was on the car's screen lol

[@GustavLjungberg]

+JhysenTheAsian Ah, you have eagle eyes mate

[@quentinc1275]

Who in gods name would get that car in an auto

[@devn3813]

Quentin C people who want an extremely fast car that'll get good mpg and can drive in traffic with ease

[@alansmilealot]

Quentin C the guy with the charger in his profile. I would too... only if I won it or something

[@Toyota4Life]

um you do know the Auto M3 sells more then the Manual right ? lol

[@alansmilealot]

Toyota4Life not hard to believe in this day and age that the auto gets more sells

[@josephparker9636]

I have driven the 6 speed f80 and it is really good. But I daily in Philadelphia rush hour for work and the dct appealed to me. This is my only car and the dct is as good as it is going to get without 3 pedals. I'm happy with it.

[@Hovotiki]

The new ones lost steering feel and build quality.,And that's fine. That's what most of the market wants. But Volvo and many others make those cars too, some without the badge premium added to the price,,,I think I'm beginning to understand why newer BMWs suck so much, they are designing them based on feedback from an average mom customer, it all makes sense now. Their next area of "improvement" will be eliminating manual gearbox and changing traditional bmw roundel to a vagina logo. Being the Ultimate Driving Machine. They have a sportier image than Mercedes and that was a huge strength... now that advantage will probably fade over time and "Bimmer" may not mean as much down the road.I once again nominate the e46 e39 and e30 for best BMW ever.Steering feel and weight was pretty perfect in the late 90s through the mid 2000s. Sometime after that..Even spending 3 days at the Nurburgring in a new M4 last summer did not make me excited about the car. Yes, its fast but I miss the feel.my 2016 M3 is numb and disconnected from reality.I've owned many BMW's even raced them over the years. Not any more. They have become electronic nightmares that bare little resemblance to the finely crafted machines of the past. BMW, along with Audi are now little more than big expensive Lexus, copies. ..Electronic steering on a BMW is just as awful as on a hyundai. Numb zero, feedback, can't tell if your car is going too quickly around a curve until your ass flies across the seat. There's no resistance to give you the information you need to keep control, driving a car to its limits, instead it's like sitting on a sofa with some idiotic game paddle in your hands. It's terrible and it's not they are trying to do better driving cars, they are doing it to save weight, just look at the flimsy sheet metal on many cars, the pliable flimsy plastic bumpers. THE STEERING WAS THE WHOLE REASON TO BUY A BMW 3 SERIES........If not for the steering feel of the previous 3 series, better buys were the Audi A4, Mercedes C class, Volvo S60 & former Infinity G... Can't BMW see that without its unique advantage, the steering, it will lose market share & profit margins? BMW was a small manufacturer that would've been unable to compete in the global scene if not for its success at attracting the enthusiasts. The enthusiasts were attracted to BMW's unique advantage, the steering. The enthusiasts attraction to the superior 3 series' steering became leading automotive news. The rest of the public followed the news and made the 3 series the number 1 upscale sedan and made BMW a giant. Doesn't BMW know that its steering was the driver of its success? Don't they know that without this unique reason to buy a BMW, they will lose market share & profit margins? They'll have to resort to the discounting of the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class; or give up on the small sedan as did Infiniti with the G and probably Cadillac with the ATS.

[@JakeDrives1]

I skip to the drive part everytime. Ahahahaha

[@PianoandCarcrack94]

That rear camber is going to cause catastrophic understeer in the wet.

[@bladerunner3365]

The new M4 hype quickly died out! I think being sold and M4 with a 335i engine for so much money when you can just jb4 your 335i was what killed it. Not to mention that god awful ricer sounding exhaust is just shit! You fucked up really bad BMW!!

[@sahilg8254]

24.0 mpg wtf i get 19.2mpg in my 335i

[@Sandia49]

Sahil G I get like 17mpg in eco pro mode on a 328i

[@silentassasin741]

Sahil G is your BMW a 2017?

[@sahilg8254]

Jose Rivera nope its a 2013

[@LegendInThaMakin]

e92 or f series? probably how u drive too

[@sahilg8254]

LegendInThaMakin f30, and yeah i guess

[@reedsurman6268]

4:52 strategic business card placement

[@riccappa]

Maybe don't speed through a neighborhood while doing a review... That's just dumb. Take it on some country roads away from other people and their children.

[@VaunShiz]

so much turbo lag you can bake a cake with that extra time

[@josephparker9636]

Clous von Running more psi on a backend flash tune now and boost by gear. Zero lag now.

[@JayProductionzHD]

I love to watch car reviews. my favourite bit is always the fast driving. One word of criticism I would say is that at the start they are reviews but then you turn them into very biased reviews. rather than from a neutral stand point. Good work though mate. I enjoy these. keep it up.

[@jimwong2823]

After 80K miles.Y might think to dump POS.bottomless money pit.

[@LastHumansGarage]

awesome car man

[@michalmcdaniel2396]

CAGE THE ELEPHANT!!!!

[@jorgegabrielgarofalotorres3621]

My dream car, the white bmw m3 from 2017.❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Toyota4Life]

Not a fan of the M3 but this video makes me want one ! lol. Theres something about the front end I dont like that.. I think the front grill being so low under the hood line looks weird but it still looks good.

[@Toyota4Life]

***** Yes they do and their getting better and more performance oriented

[@bigden2755]

*they're

[@weaseltown]

Maybe stop talking so fast and annunciate your words. Jesus.

[@Hovotiki]

BMW has lost the plot. No steering feel, a move away from manuals. I owned a 2006 E90 325i with sport package and 6-speed manual, which I loved. When a parking lot flood killed it, I test drove 2017 m3 and my thought was that there was , nothing special about the car anymore.

[@FortuneSeek3rz]

That's really sad. It seems like BMW has got everything right except the steering feel in the newer models. I had a 2008 335i w/sport package and the steering feel was def better than avg. Great overall sedan.

[@ashy_gee6]

Great review, but where are you in US were you are wearing shorts?

[@tornut24]

Ashy Gee Not where, but when. Matt said this was filmed in September in the comments.

[@ashy_gee6]

Dang I missed that, guess reading is fundamental.

[@vinrave]

Hi! Could you please tell me the difference between an M3 and an M4 excluding the number of doors available? Which is more fun to drive in your opinion? I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you

[@TheLogitech91]

Based on his claim HP. If he has a drive train issue should BMW pay for it???? Should the aftermarket company that did his tune pay for it. I wonder if they would pay for a new engine if it failed. I bet they would say go after BMW. I'm sure the aftermarket company that created his tune has spent the same amount of time, money, & research as BMW developing their tune.

[@nicos1097]

This kid turns into a 5 year old girl when He steps on the pedal

[@REGNARTS00]

The trees are still green and you're in a short sleeve. How old is this video?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

+REGNARTS00 filmed it the end of September. I have a long backlog.

[@deaconstevej1]

I can see you had great fun driving that pitbull of a car! It's a beast for sure! Great review!

[@linlin86717455]

Can you turn the car sound off? I just wanna hear your high pitch fake voice during the driving part. Thanks.

[@AshAusten1]

@subaruwrxfan could you please review a Mercedes Benz A45 AMG. thanks, great videos.

[@MRRVADrums]

I’m looking to trade in my APR tuned 2014 GLI for a 17’ M3 or M4. Haven’t test driven them yet but that’s coming soon!

[@dominicancheif117]

Catless down pipe? Savage!

[@GaryDownes]

ha, I was cracking up how much you were enjoying driving this awesome BMW. I have a 335i and a 4.8ltr X5 and they both make me smile driving them. Could only imagine how much fun this car would be.

[@TheLogitech91]

Try to take BMW or the local dealer to court if they deny a warranty repair and tell the local jurisdiction/judge that you were driving around without cats.

[@paulreyes5128]

Your a bubbly quirky geek lol good job on the review for mentioning little details but sorry you're still not coming to the party

[@niclasstorsveen8193]

Congratulations for making an awesome car boring because you never stop talking... jiiises man.

[@efthimios]

Looks better without competition package - and the s2 tune and Dow pipes gave it 100 plus hp

[@whynot9899]

I hope the next car I buy makes me half as giddy as you are at 08:20 +subaruwrxfan haha. Keep to great work up!

[@Marcoulloa123]

Every video "What's up everybody, Subaruwrxfan here" with the hand motions

[@blay5427]

This to me is the closest to a perfect car imo but the hood ruins it idk why they didn't extend it to the grille. The line looks really bad there

[@Alumnikiid]

So with catless downpipes wont that set a code and cause you to fail an inspection

[@MattMaranMotoring]

The tune fixes that.

[@gsheverything_2716]

my question to you SUBARUWRX, have you ever done a ISF review???

[@fpsgamingcashcups]

Need to put some 295’s in the rear and 265’s in the front and it’ll put the power down. Need better tires as well

[@minecraftingbroskey]

"Stock exhaust aside from the headers" no, stock exhaust aside from the downpipes.

[@projectjet8096]

Are you going to review the 2017 Fusion Sport by any chance?

[@animationcrate]

I used to leave my interest in bimmers at the e46, but I saw this car in the parking lot at a diner and I just saw how much of a beauty it was. I'd definitely get this once depreciation kicked in

[@liudizzle]

Beauty of a car but exhaust sounds like shit

[@NckNck-pu9vb]

How come you are just uploading this video now after filming it in September?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

+N1ckN1ck100 press cars take priority and I've had a lot this fall so a backlog of privately owned cars I've been filming at the same time get released later.

[@bokkey45]

Love your reviews man. Earned a sub from a fellow Pennsylvanian!

[@chitterlingsrtasty]

I noticed you never reviewed the G80 M3

[@thenextgen1able]

Is it just me or does it look like a Grand Prix a little?

[@maltlickey]

So is the M3/M4 twin turbo or single turbo? He keeps saying “the turbo” as if there is only one. I had the impression it had two turbos

[@mollymarsgal3377]

That is so EPIC!!

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

For a built car it looks very stock haha no wonder I was sleeping on it 😂😂😂😂

[@xaionik]

Looks like a stanced showpiece that gets stuck on angled driveways.

[@Herbotis]

Is this funner to drive than a RS3?

[@TheJdmkid19]

@7:22 Is when Subaruwrxfan jizz'd !!😂😂😂😭😭💯

[@gbej1]

In summary, Subaruwrxfan thinks the M3 is ‘fantastic’

[@redoppsrebuildsyoutubechan1723]

cool video

[@mikane24]

need help! which exhaust tips are those? I want to get a set for my f80.

[@shadowdemin77552]

You say subaruwrxfan really fast at the beginning of the video lol

[@giraykharizzma7737]

Who's Missing the sound of V10 ?

[@tybrown1437]

I would like you to drive on the highway so You could speed more ..Why those small roads:)?
