The Story of the Greatest BMW Ever Made

#BMW #mercedes #dtm
Each generation of BMW M3 is unique, fast and fantastic.
All borne from that initial idea. Make a race car for the road.
The BMW M3 launched a middling German car brand from stuffy luxury brand, to where you go when you blood burns with 91 octane. When you need the world’s finest cars, that hold no punches, and leave no witnesses.
This is THE SQUIDD, a channel devoted to telling boring stories BOLDLY. Automotive icons, car company calamities, supercar legends and underdog heroes. All told through the lens of The Squidd, automotive content creator famous for being a dude with bad hair.

My dad raced e30 m3s when they first came out (late 80s, I think 89 was when he was first introduced). Went through about 2-3 of them, and currently had one when his friend blew the motor in his. The car was absolutely gorgeous, a true street example. My dad had the engine swapped with the sport evo motor, and every single sport evo part was installed. It IS a true sport evo, just not badged so (this is when you could get the parts from Germany directly). Now, with his passing in November, I’m a 19 year old with not one but two e30m3s (he also kept his last personal racecar fitted with a group a close ratio gearbox and massive weight reduction. They are among a few cars in the collection that will never see another owner, besides hopefully my son one day. These cars are more than hunks of metal, they’re emotional beings that need love and care and affection just like the rest of us. I’m beyond grateful that he left me these gorgeous examples of automotive history, but to me it’s more than JUST a car, it’s a time machine to happy memories and moments with my dad. I miss you pops, and I’ll take care of your babies forever.

I owned in Alpine White '89 E30 M3 which I paid $13,750 for in 2001. To this day, I fully regret selling it three years later, but I needed some extra money for college. Today, those beauties sell for 75K+, while some go above six figures. Your dad would be so proud that you're holding on to those beauties considering (a) the time/energy/care he put into them is staying in the family (b) the value has shot up tremendously in the last decade. I've owned several rather 'nice' cars since then, and nothing compares to the driving experience of an E30 M3. I'd take a 1991 225hp Evo over a 500hp M4 any day. I fear that BMW's motorsport division has taken much of the driving experience out of the more modern M cars with all the new driving assisted features (paddle shifting, traction control, driver assistance, launch control, etc.) There's nothing like the driving experience of an E30 M3.

9 years ago I bought my first car at age 16, an E30 325is. At the time I didn't realize the motorsports history behind the E30 and the M3. After learning about it, I appreciated my car that much more. Although not an M3, it is now a heavily modified car, now with an LS engine and completely redone suspension and brakes. It is my first car and I will never sell it. I've learned so much about driving and building a car through my E30. Having such a legendary car and having lots of sentimental value to me, I don't have the heart to ever get rid of it.

One thing to note, the Spitfire and other allied aircraft did outclass the BF-109. The reason why German pilots had kills into the hundreds while the top allied pilots only had a couple dozen is because when an allied pilot became an ace, they were often sent home to train younger pilots given their inherent value, while German aces flew combat sorties throughout the entire war which allowed them the opportunity to continue getting kills.

[@PartiallyLoyal]

Wouldn't say the Bf109 was outclassed, depending on the variants they were either regarded as slightly better.(compare Bf109 F series to Spit MkV) or as equals (Bf109G6 & Spitfire MkIX) It's less that they were outclassed late war and more switch in priorities for anti bomber duties + inexperienced pilots.

The voice of you , the tone you use , the editing , the small references, the punchlines , the audio , the nostalgia, somehow you are able to find the perfect picture/video that matches what you say. The way you explain things in such an understanding way for some us to grasp. This may all be a product of you or an editor but nothing changes the fact that the way you make you videos Is perfect and brings a state of tranquility to me ,if that makes any sense. The only mistake? The uploading schedule 😅. Good work , I envy you passion and dedication to your videos, keep it up.

[@the.squidd]

Haha. It is now a team effort. I started this project solo, but due to having a very busy day job I now have a team. I appreciate the love! And am working on that upload schedule haha

[@gera9kolas]

@@the.squidd regardless your videos are top of the line , keep it up, congratulations

[@Akash__Verma__]

Man everytime you tell these stories, the excitement, the smile in my face and goosebumps at moments really carry on to the end of the videos. Despite being long acc. to today's standards time just flows by watching your videos and that's the greatest gift a storyteller can have. Keep doing this amazing work and climb the new heights in this genre 🍻

[@the.squidd]

Glad you like them!

[@gabrielsandoval4994]

The historical videos made me nostalgic for how things were. I remember seeing these M3’s growing up and admiring them. I now own an E36 M3 and love it. They were different times for sure.

[@mrjordy512]

I came across this in a KZbin suggestion. This almost brought me to tears it was told so good! The best car documentary i have ever come across! Thank you!

[@the.squidd]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NEPALESE.AMERICAN]

As a BMW fanboy for life . I had tears watching this video . Incredible, just incredible.

[@nodo7575]

I don't get manufacturer fanboys. Especially BMW who build a good car once.

[@NEPALESE.AMERICAN]

@@nodo7575 Did you even watch the video ? Do you even own a sports car ? Have you ever been to a real race ? Have you ever owned an ///M car ? Cars bring emotions out of people . A proper sports car to the right person is a lifetime of joy and ultimate passion . I'm guessing , you either can't even afford a civic or you're really just 13.Manufacturers have been independently racing multiple categories of Motorsports for decades now and people have been following it as well . Maybe educate yourself a little bit before typing from your moms basement.

[@brunoheggli2888]

I can understand it!Its nice to have smaller carproducers that producing apecial cars,its boring if everybody drives the same boring cars!I love BMWs but also Ford Mustangs and classic Mercedes like the SL280 pagode!

I love to hear this histories they always remind me why I love cars thanks for the video man

Glad you enjoyed!

This video left me with Goosebumps, tingle's running up my spine, and a strong urge to go online and find a black M3 and press purchase, Simply Epic 👍

[@Flora-L1]

Please don't stop making these long-form car documentaries!! Everything you've made has been banger after banger. And I can't even tell if I'm watching a documentary or an inspirational rally call to my passion for cars. KEEP IT UP DUDE!!

Never seen a youtuber who delivers goosebumps this consistently. 👏

[@Anukaran92]

Everytime I see your video my love for craftsmanship, the idea of winning and respect for those visionaries increases.

[@the.squidd]

It's my goal. As we move towards a new future of EVs, or whatever, I want people to remember the tales of these fantastic machines and the people that made them.

[@Genci_Gega]

It's the third time I've seen this video and it still feels epic. You've made the perfect recipe for this kind of documentary. Keep up the good work!

[@the.squidd]

My writer says this is his favorite video of ours, and he will be delighted to hear you are such a fan!

[@einspruch3905]

When the German engineers at BMW, Mercedes or Porsche have to prove something, they put so much effort into it that they outperform everything and everyone by miles

[@matiaskeranen6617]

To me the greatest driver's car is a Lotus(many great models to choose from), would be great to see a video on the Elise or the manufacturer as a whole.

[@the.squidd]

Oh totally, Lotus is Gordon Murray's favorite brand, and I love to have recurring characters in my vids so Lotus is absolutely planned.

[@MattePurple1]

Dude, you came out of nowhere, and immediately rocketed to the top ranks of "Car KZbin." Every video has been nothing less than a banger.

[@spike6385]

Your bit at about 27 minutes ring so true my guy, there wouldn't be civic type r's without the e30 m3. And it's true, the e30 was the first car I ever saw as a kid that was built that way, I was almost able to buy one too when I got out of highschool in 2004. Didn't do it, now a clean e30 m3 goes for like 50-100k. Shit!

[@the.squidd]

I knowwwwww I almost considered getting one when they were just 11k! Oh well, I can still enjoy them from afar, or in a racing sim.

[@repingers9777]

I always get pretty upset when bmw people diss on 4bangers even if it's something like the legendary engines found in the S2K and old type R's because they should know that one of the coolest bmws was powered by a cool 4banger 😭

[@spike6385]

@@the.squidd If a reasonable example of an e30 M3 could still be had for 15-20k I would probably still jump on one, but I am fortunate enough to be getting a mk5 Supra MT that will likely be my ICE swan song. I'll keep it till I die.

[@the.squidd]

Thank you Tyler!

[@Lordy110]

The soundtrack, the pacing, the way you break down the history and background leading up to these cars is just 🤌🤌 The only thing I would like more of is when your talking about legendary engines such as the S14, RB's, etc engines that truly make music, you should tastefully pepper more engine sound into the videos after you reveal them. Nothing beats the sound of ITBs and some people have never heard of or even heard the sound of these engines you're going to get into later on. Just a thought

[@drivebyshutter]

the start of this video is a masterpiece keep this up and you're going to take over youtube man, keep up the amazing work!
