The E46 M3 still holds up well today. It's a drivers car and still puts a smile on my face every time I drive mine. I don't have to be the fastest car on the road, but I know that there is something special about owning one and being able to enjoy every moment behind the steering wheel.
E46 is a brilliant car, no question, but I like my E36. For me, while the 46 is a better sports car, the 36 is a better car to live with every day. After 13 years of ownership, It still thrills me every time I drive it. TBH I was quite pleased how well it stood up in the drag race, but I think mine would have been closer. For one thing, mine doesn't smoke when you rev it.... just saying
Yeah u are right but the E46 can do better with an other driver Bad shifting and he didn’t Respect the car . Sorry Matt but it’s clearly true this time .
There's no competition here. I wonder if they have the same power, I doubt the new car will win. A big difference in power of the new car can only manage 1.2 seconds difference from low powered old car. It's nonsense.
It would be down to its lack of torque in the lower RPMs. You can launch it well without it bogging, and then it all comes in with the revs! Beautiful engine the S54 is! Personally, would love to see a drag race involving a TVR Sagaris...
They were well ahead of the curve too. Nowadays cars are alot more easily matched. Your average Mustang GT or Camaro SS wouldn't be far off from an M4 but back in 2003 an M3 could blow the doors off a Mustang GT lol.
@@joelbriiito8773 same in the Netherlands. Up to 80.000 euro for E46 M3's with very low milage. I guess in Engeland they are sold more often. That's why. Nowadays also new fast cars in the Netherlands are very expensive in comparrison to other countries
@@kickdown7143 This isn't a US M3 e36. If nothing else you might notice which side of the car the driver is sitting in. The car also has some modifications and is faster than it was stock. Of course if they dropped a more powerful engine in it it'd be faster. That's a pointless argument the same is true of any car.
Everyone can agree it's one of the best M3 cars of all time. I think this E46 generation is by far one of the best, and is definitely my favourite iteration of the BMW 3 series and their M3 cars.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan Hmm, not quite everyone. I saved up for one, and found an immaculate one at a BMW dealer, but declined it after the test drive. Sure, the engine sound was incredible, the diff magic, and of course it looks really nice. However, when driving normally it felt like any other E46 to me, and the throttle pedal had an annoying lag at the top of it. Not for me.
I'm always surprised folks never seem to review/test the E36 evo - 3.2L and a 6 speed with a bunch of other tweaks that would have put it a little closer to the 46. Still though, hella impressed with how well the 46 launches
Judging by the way the M2 DESTROYS the e46 after they get to speed I can surely say that if Mat was driving the M2 the destruction would be even bigger.
sam thoughts here, I saw E36 M3 I clicked then I see its an old 3.0...3.2L with 3.64 diff does 0-200 same as E46 M3 and its fater above 200, 13.8 was good from this 3.0 but its 3.15 diff is too long for 400m drag.
jame conradi , glad you enjoyed them. For me after the E34 m5 is was a massive disappointment. I then got an e39 m5, which is the best car overall I have ever owned. However the e34, last of the hand built ones, still was the dogs dangly bits. IMHO

The E 46 is the most fragile,Ed problematic and expensive to repair. Is a car for keep in the lounge,and done 5000 kilometres at year with lots of caution..

My opinion: E30: Oldschool charme E36: worse E46 E46: timeless piece of art E92: German Muscle F82: German Engineering at it's best. G82: The ugly one nobody likes. Btw, the E36 is a great car in my opinion, but it just isn't as good as the E46.. and it's basically the same price, less reliable and it looks like a 328i with M-Package.
This result still surprises me. Whilst I expected the E46 to edge the E36 I'm convinced that car isn't running right. I'd love to see this repeated with an Evo also.
This is real drag racing, not those automatics so you just press the gas pedal nonono. Manual shifter is where you need real skill and you depend a lot on your shifting skills.
I've had several manual cars and the bmw was the only one that the shift knob use to pop off of or that I used to accidentally put it into 5th instead of 3rd gear. So after you said you're not the biggest fan of bmw gearboxes, I guess I realized they aren't my favorite, either.
@@anabang1251 long story, but no. It moved on twice from me who converted it for track use, when I had it it had black Vaders The car also has the 3.2 large case low ratio diff
E46 m3 and e30 m3 are the best looking m3s ever. They've aged so well. Shame the e46 was riddled with issues. But this one is a manual! At least the owner has good taste

MORE RACES LIKE THIS! Old cars are more fun to watch against each other
This result still surprises me. Whilst I expected the E46 to edge the E36 I'm convinced that car isn't running right. I'd love to see this repeated with an Evo also.
Why at the end of the last drag there was also a van crossing the line?!? 😂
its confirmed. the van won.
Too bad it didn't stay too long and just VANished.
I NEW SOMEONE WAS GOING TO SAY THAT 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@VendyDRD true story
I clicked faster than the bmw
Well yeah, bmw's can't click
Me too😄
Hello guys! What think about this?)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ruclips.net/video/1oF6JTNDIco/видео.html
Well you clicked faster than sf1000
@@TristanSilverwood maybe not Click.. more like "tiktiktiktiktiktiktiktik"
Genuinely surprised how well the E46 kept up with the M2. Maybe I'll hang onto mine for a little longer!
That spec e46 with kiwi interior is an unreal combo for whoever owns that
All 3 of these cars are incredible but, to me, the E46 is king 👑
6:42 Jack just beat the van.
8:02
Opel Combo did it in 15.2 seconds 😂
Matt launches those classic BMWs like a straight boss! First race was so close between E36 and E46.
5:30 I just burst out laughing at this point 😂😂😂 the editor deserves a raise
Now THIS is a true test of drag skills. "Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should 😁
Dose Evey car car video comment section have to have that quote
This is real drag racing, not those automatics so you just press the gas pedal nonono. Manual shifter is where you need real skill and you depend a lot on your shifting skills.
BS. Just line the revs up.
Definitely get an E46 M3 Matt. Especially now when they’re affordable.. they are going to be classics very soon!
already have skyrocketed in price in the us
I dont know where the price of 12k pounds comes from. In Germany you pay at least 50k for an e46 with original parts and with "lower" mileage.
@@frz_64 Cars in the UK are much much cheaper
I've had several manual cars and the bmw was the only one that the shift knob use to pop off of or that I used to accidentally put it into 5th instead of 3rd gear. So after you said you're not the biggest fan of bmw gearboxes, I guess I realized they aren't my favorite, either.
Wow, that is a rare E46 with that Kiwi interior a European only option I believe 🤔
I knew one guy from my country(Hungary) he had too kiwi interior and irs sooo nice
We had them here in Australia 🇦🇺
Kiwi....? I'm confused? Are you three talking about a New Zealanders or what?
Kiwi is the colour of the interior, it's a light green colour. Ive seen against carbon black exterior and Phoenix yellow exteriors.
puke green. gotta love it.
Still the legend lives on, E46 STILL THE BEST 6 CYLINDER OUT THEREFORE
With no doubt
No the supra is
@@Mikaeel_Ally supra is best forced induced 6 cylinder but some might say it's the R34 but I'm happy to give it to the supra
Doesnt the e36 have the same engine
@@henryolop3069 no it does not
That's my old E36.. and yes the knob used to come off 😂
No way! Would love to see some old pics of it if you have any
@@sends6052 loads, got a whole folder of the pics when I rebuilt it, wanna have a chat?
Did the camera man buy it from you?
@@matteightytwo Amazing... drop me a DM on instagram! @jack_scotton
@@anabang1251 long story, but no. It moved on twice from me who converted it for track use, when I had it it had black Vaders
The car also has the 3.2 large case low ratio diff
I feel his pain. I owned an e36 and my gear knob came off frequently during hard shifts
Same happens in my E46 330d man 😂. Love the car tho, I'll never trade it for anything else
Owned 2 m3s well looked after will never happen
e46 is just a great car. i love it. check 6.09. i badly missed that sound
Me too
E46 m3 and e30 m3 are the best looking m3s ever. They've aged so well. Shame the e46 was riddled with issues. But this one is a manual! At least the owner has good taste
The best looking m3 ever is the e92 but I respect your opinion
@@lexusrcflover9175 Nah man, the new M3 is the best looking
@@lexusrcflover9175 e92 ? were you born after 2000?
@Maverick Yes. Apparently it "grows on you." Like a parasite :p In all honesty, they do have some nice colors though.
@@MasonGeorge24 They follow the James May philosophy. Newer cars are better and they are.
An E32 3.2L might have been a closer comparison rather than the older 3.0L engine
the e36 3.2l with the same setup would have beaten the e46 i think.
I think you might be right, cue Matt to run this race!
@@joetatham6338 Mate the e32 is a 7 series
Had mind block!
There you have it
Congrats to Tommy on his new Truck! He writes, "Hey TFL team!
I just wanted to thank you guys for all the awesome content that you guys put out on all of your channels! I recently picked up this 2020 F-150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost and being able to watch your in-depth reviews on every truck was incredibly more helpful than the salesmen at the dealerships. I hope you guys get back on good terms with Ford. You do great things for them!
Just wanted to say keep up the great work and keep killing it Andre!
Thanks from Chicago,
Tommy"
