very nice_ you called this car HER. I was a go-to guy to this car beginning i 2008. HE was white with a black rooftop and carried a family name_ #MADONNA. Will never forget when my dearest was screaming for stopping at the next busstop to get out...
I consider this the last "true M3" because it was the last to have a highly tuned N/A engine and 2 doors (as the original M3 did and as all M3s should have). Ironically it is now the M2 that is closer in character and concept to old M3s!
this is the most beautiful bmw ever made hands down. just look at those lines... you know the car was styled properly if the car looks gorgeous in any colour, especially white. BMW is no longer the same after the E series platform - they are simply chasing luxury and therefore a wider customer base. coming from an f10 owner i have no issues saying this whatsoever
+Simon Walker I doubt you have any track or HPDE experience. I say that because you compare two entirely different cars from different eras against each other for the sole purpose to justify a weak argument. And you only focus on short falls and negative aspects of a car. Sure, you don't like the e92 M3. But to say its "rubbish, slow, and BMW doesn't make monsters" based off of numbers on a paper and your back roads is a clear example of your simple mindedness. Its not the best M3 ever made (E46 M3 is IMO) but its a damn good one. So be more professional and add qualitative comparisons in you opinion. It was never about numbers and more about driving experience. Your experience sucked, don't insult the brand with a weak argument.
+Simon Walker What a load of cr*p! I have driven a 6 speed manual E90 M3 sedan and it felt incredibly fast (even when I live 3000 ft above sea level). It was one of the best driving experiences of my life. Listening to engine howl its way up to 8400 rpm is one of the most phenomenal experiences. The car traps at 111 - 113 mph and does a 12.6 - 12.8 seconds 1/4 mile. If you think that is slow, you are clearly a troll. It is the best M3 ever made.
Nice video! I have a black 2008 E92 with DCT, one of the first in Canada, and I love it. Fortunately, I've had a several nice BMWs - E36 328, E39 528, E39 540 M Sport, and E46 M3, all manual except the 528. I still like the E39 body style and liked my 540 the best until my E92. My E46 was lighter, nimble and lots of fun but but as a day driver the E92 is far far superior. Even on the race track, the E92 is better, the DCT is a great advantage, the V8 pulls hard and loves to rev between 6000 and the 8400 rpm redline! And it sounds terrific! Yes, it could use more torque, something the new gen turbos provide of course. I do high performance driving with several BMW clubs in Canada and the NE US. As an instructor and driver, I've been on various track in several great cars, many much more expensive. The E92 runs with the best of them. Driven safely and well maintained, it happily takes you back home with little fuss. I intend to keep mine even if I buy something else in the future. Happy and safe motoring all!
Same here but I don't even dream about cars that far out of my price range...am shopping for an E92 . :-) Gonna pay cash up front, can't afford it otherwise I figure. Selling my still fun 330ci after 15 yr.s of happy driving if I find the right deal on an M3....dunno what 330 is worth today.
+Ruohong Zhao i think the F82 sounds good in its own way, obviously its not gonna sound like a V8 and a V8 can't sound like an inline 6, its just different thats all.
THANK YOU MR.HIMMEL! FOR MANAGING MY DREAM CAR! JUST BOUGHT A BMW E92 M3 SPACEGREY OVER BLACK NOVILLO LEATHER AND ITS PERFECT! W/99K miles clean title! AMAZING !!!
I couldn't believe it when Ford announced the GT350 with a V8 that revs to 8k RPM. Ford really surprised me, it seems like they really wanted to make an all out performance monster.
I own e93 M3, when driving you get so much respect from other drivers, you come near them or pass them and no one dares to test you as the M3 looks beastly... When you see other drivers stay away from you then you know you have something special... Very rare to see this... My M3 all black with black tints... Looks nice and mean
I have a 2011 ZCP E90 M3. I'll never sell it, not even if for a straight up trade with a fully optioned F80 M3. The V8 mated to an aftermarket Akrapovic exhaust makes it a perfect car.
I feel like BMW was taking a lot of risks in the mid to late 2000s, moving away from the traditions of earlier BMWs, and trying new things. For example, new designs, iDrive, an increased focus on features in general. I feel like the E92 M3 and E60 M5 with their V8 and V10 respectively were their biggest risks. In my opinion, it was a risk worth it, making two beloved and unique cars that we will never see again from BMW.
+ArsenGTS Exhaust works in restrictive mode while engine is cold so there is big difference and for me it sounds good don't believe misleading "review" videos
One of the best engines ever made by BMW!! And it looks fantastic and ride great, too bad it doesnt have much power. The high rev V8 makes up for it though.
Love the front end, the side view is ok, and the exhaust is music...... but the rear end look basically like every other BMW sadly ☹️. So really, unless you see it from the front you can’t really tell it’s the BMW sporty M3 powerhouse that it is. Here in Australia currently I can pick up a 2013 E92 M3 with 72,000 kms on it for $58k AUD. But there’s a 2011 E92 330d for $25,500 with same kms on it and it has a way more luxurious looking interior. Not just black on black on black interior like in most M3’s 🙄. The 330d weighs just less then the M3 and looks relatively similar from most angles and has a better interior and sunroof. The only thing that really has a difference is the Horsepower comparison. Unless your tracking it, who needs the 420hp of the M3..... the 260hp of the 330d is more than enough power for living and still breaks speed limits easily. And is more fuel efficient. In the end really the only difference to the average owner to notice is the sound. Diesel vs V8. Obviously the M3 wins on sound. And so just the sound difference to the average owner makes it somehow worth so much more $$ ?? Yes it’s better technically etc etc but only noticeable to hard going drivers that track it and use the handling and speed potential.
This is partly because they only saved weight at the front half of the car. Probably to keep close to 50:50 weight distribution. In this video they mention the exhaust as a weight saving item , but this is hard to believe because the end muffler alone weighs 25kg. Also the rear subframe is steel. Not aluminium like the front subframe. And the propshaft could have been lighter (CF) also.
next 5 years. Wont appreciate for a while. M4s will depreciate rather quicklly seen the lowest of 53,000 as of now. Maybe you dont want m4 bc of the engine but i still think theyre sexy.
Did BMW make the new M3 with V8 engine as well? or maybe in the future putting their V8 twin turbo engine in M3 coupe body (that would be best seller!!!)?
Two questions... 1) I checked, and I can't find it anywhere online. How do they come up with the amount they release? Lol...67? Strange number, no? 2) Does anyone drive their M3 in the snow? I asked because my e46 ///M has been in the garage for awhile now. The reason is because the roads where I live are always covered in road salt and not because "it doesn't do well in the snow", or anything else people think or say.
+VenomPool Maybe they had 67 orders on the GTS. It is a weird number I agree lol, hmmm. What about the M3 came out in late 2007, so a 57 plate. But it stopped in 2013 so 3 years in where plates are 61 to 69 of late years. So they thought it came out in 57 and we are where the plates are in 6's instead so they done 67! P.S. That's just a conspiracy hahaha don't take me serious
There is a video knocking around of an E46 M3 on winter tyres vs a FWD car on summer tyres in the snow. M3 nails it. You should definitely consider winter tyres
After owning an E36 M3, E46 M3, and E90 M3 - I am very very UNDERwhelmed by the new turbocharged M cars without the hydraulic steering. Not nearly as fun to drive :(
Praying that @BMW listens to its loyal customers and once again create a naturally aspirated masterpiece. I really want all the new tech in the new M cars (HUD, Bluetooth audio, etc) but cannot sacrifice the sheer driving pleasure of my screaming E90 for those things.
I cant afford to run an M3. So I want the nearest thing to an M3 with a 3 or 3.5 diesel engine. Some of their diesels are pretty fast. Not M3 fast, but not THAT far from it. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds.

omg same!
+Ritchie V The E46 is my favorite M3 this is my very close second.
i have the m5 e60!!
+One Sick Ass Savage the E60 has the best engine in my opinion, but still i would choose the M3 ;)
+Ritchie V yeah m3 are the sport series but m5 are the luxury ones in my opinion
I've been driving my E92 M3 for 12 years now (bought her new in 2011) and she's still the love of my life!
It's simply love at first sight 😊

e92 so gorgeous
As an F82 owner, the best sound of my car comes from the time when I put it in park and play Canon D via my phone.
+Ruohong Zhao LOL.... is it really that bad?
It actually is not THAT bad, it is just too hard to forget the beautiful sound from the V8 that old E92 used to have.
+Ruohong Zhao i think the F82 sounds good in its own way, obviously its not gonna sound like a V8 and a V8 can't sound like an inline 6, its just different thats all.
@Ruohong Zhao
As a f83 owner with m Performance exhaust I have allways Best Sound! Even amg driver asked me Often why i have such a baddas sound
In e93 m3 i hate music because it covers the engine sound 😆
THANK YOU MR.HIMMEL! FOR MANAGING MY DREAM CAR! JUST BOUGHT A BMW E92 M3 SPACEGREY OVER BLACK NOVILLO LEATHER AND ITS PERFECT! W/99K miles clean title! AMAZING !!!
V8 revving at 8500 rpm, can life get any better?
it will be very hard to sell it one day, not sure if I will be able to do it
i want a gt350 so bad but they wont be selling them to the uk let alone making RHD ones
I couldn't believe it when Ford announced the GT350 with a V8 that revs to 8k RPM. Ford really surprised me, it seems like they really wanted to make an all out performance monster.
i cudnt sell mine
The M3 E92 will always be my dream used car.
The E92 m3 is the most beautiful car not only bmw has created but that has ever been created, my dream car!

second best m3
If I'm were to get a first car I'll be getting the e93.. M3... Definitely I'll prefer... The crop top version... With the sound it makes

At the beauty of German engineering. It is so cool and futuristic. But at the same time this causes problems
The last M3
Agreed
Hope y'all do the m5 and m6 heritage also. These weekly vids are some of my favorites on RUclips.
I miss mine dearly. I think I may buy it again.
1:09 what beautiful engineering.
My favorite BMW
Test driving one tomorrow :)
It was between the an F-80 or an E-92. Took the e-92, the f-80 is brilliant but when your flipping through gears in the e-9x it's something else.
My favourite generation of the m3
"for in my mind, of all automobiles, I love but E92 alone." - Morgan Freeman
GTS sounds like a beast!
Best M3 ever than the newer models than its performance and its downshift double clutch transmission
V* high revv is so good i decided to buy one last week. simply fabulous.
Love the look and feel of my 2012 DCT e92 competition. The e46 looks so boring next to it. E92 style is something exotic
The last great M3! before they introduced that mediocre turboed sedan (f80)
LOVE IT... ROLL OUT HELMUT!!! Fantastic!! HELMUT hairplugs are doing great!! Less engine....MORE HELMUT!!
"Lightweight" 3500 pounds
My favorite affordable car of all time
All of that weight saving but still ended up being the heaviest m3 🙄. That high Revving v8 is a masterpiece 👍
best of the best car in the world
@BMW guys can upload similar video about F82 please?
own E46 325 and it's best experience I've ever had yet.
going to buy E92 soon.
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
We're sorry but we cannot comment on future content but we're happy
to hear about your interest!
Wow BMW just acknowledged your existence ^^^
+BMW Please do a history of the M5 like you've done here!
+BMW Please don't make this awful exhaust in the future (f10, f82 and others)
+ArsenGTS Exhaust works in restrictive mode while engine is cold
so there is big difference and for me it sounds good
don't believe misleading "review" videos
There's NOTHING more enjoyable than putting the kids in the back, dropping the top, and ripping down some of Colorado's barren, long and curvy roads.
One of the best engines ever made by BMW!! And it looks fantastic and ride great, too bad it doesnt have much power. The high rev V8 makes up for it though.

No problem, own 3 BMWs at the moment and been through 12 of them in total, and this one is one of my fav by far.

Love the front end, the side view is ok, and the exhaust is music...... but the rear end look basically like every other BMW sadly ☹️.
So really, unless you see it from the front you can’t really tell it’s the BMW sporty M3 powerhouse that it is.

But there’s a 2011 E92 330d for $25,500 with same kms on it and it has a way more luxurious looking interior. Not just black on black on black interior like in most M3’s 🙄.
The 330d weighs just less then the M3 and looks relatively similar from most angles and has a better interior and sunroof. The only thing that really has a difference is the Horsepower comparison. Unless your tracking it, who needs the 420hp of the M3..... the 260hp of the 330d is more than enough power for living and still breaks speed limits easily. And is more fuel efficient.
In the end really the only difference to the average owner to notice is the sound. Diesel vs V8. Obviously the M3 wins on sound. And so just the sound difference to the average owner makes it somehow worth so much more $$ ?? Yes it’s better technically etc etc but only noticeable to hard going drivers that track it and use the handling and speed potential.

BRING BACK THIS ENGINE !!!
True M3 with the original M engine.
this dudes voice!
550i V8 top car the car its very good!

Holy shit ive never geard of the CRT model. 4dr gts damn thats nice
Rare car for the future. Collectors get ready get in early.
Where's a rod knock diy?
Bmw ❤️😍❤️
#BMW😍❣️ #Dream😍
Right when I looked for it
3:51 These characteristics fit Not the New m5
The last true m3 in my opnion
The dream
0:40 yet it weighs over 1600kg
Still want one though
This is partly because they only saved weight at the front half of the car. Probably to keep close to 50:50 weight distribution.
In this video they mention the exhaust as a weight saving item , but this is hard to believe because the end muffler alone weighs 25kg. Also the rear subframe is steel. Not aluminium like the front subframe. And the propshaft could have been lighter (CF) also.
When will they hit the $10k mark?
+GT6SuzukaTimeTrials Probably the next 15 years :P.
+Richtofen Pascua they will never hit the 10k mark because they will start appreciating and i believe its gonnna be soon due to the last NA M3
next 5 years. Wont appreciate for a while. M4s will depreciate rather quicklly seen the lowest of 53,000 as of now. Maybe you dont want m4 bc of the engine but i still think theyre sexy.

So, there was an M3 GTS?
awesome!!!
Did BMW make the new M3 with V8 engine as well? or maybe in the future putting their V8 twin turbo engine in M3 coupe body (that would be best seller!!!)?
A performance increase wasn't possible with the six cylinder??? Funny since they went with a turbo version of that engine in the f80 and f82.

M3 (E92) Coupê engine 3.9L V8 S65 the best engine V8 for me...
I cant afford to run an M3. So I want the nearest thing to an M3 with a 3 or 3.5 diesel engine. Some of their diesels are pretty fast. Not M3 fast, but not THAT far from it. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds.
best m3 hands down. NA V8 >
"Lightweight construction" =3700 Pounds+in 2 door coupe....
This car is too good!!! #mercsucks
for me pearl white manual e92m3is best
There is an E92 in my area for 25k but I have only $200 in my account after my spine injury.... Life is cruel
Please bring back the V8 :)
