When are you going to do road tests on actual roads again ? 99.99% of people don't drive on airfields or race tracks. I really miss the old high quality reviews of the old days that we became accustomed to of this channel.
Everybody talk about the grill. I'm one of the few who liked it ever before seeing it on the road. Now that I've seen it a few times in person, I love it even more. Its a BEAST!!
Its no wonder you get to drive the best in the world, the way in which you put the vehicle out there via your channel is amazing . This car is awesome. Great review!
To be honest, it makes me sad because cars like this will be extinct in 10-20 years and we must appreciate now because everything will be electric soon. I think the latest G80 M3 could be the last old school car with no electrification. Who knows what the next would M3 be like?
ok its been a while now in media seeing the car and i must say that grill..still hasnt grown on me. but a cool car non the less i seriously dig the interior.
@@lyf6626i have a few times already. Right next to the previous version and its still a nope from me lol but its a great car looks mean for sure. And is fast as heck.
@@YusufPetersenCPT Different strokes then i guess? I hated it at first and pics also just don't do it any justice... Untill I saw it on the road and at a few dealerships.
Perhaps we love these sorts of cars, because daily we are stuck in traffic at 40km/h, potholes galore in Jhb, stuck at a WFH desk, or maybe just because they are aspirational and maybe one day you can afford a 10 year old model when the new electric M3 makes a million kilowatts and costs 10 times the price of your house
😂 that's savage bro, "if you would like to take on your "enemies" on a red light" sounds exactly like what I would do on a red light standing next to my enemy
Aesthetically,it looks better than the M4(my view).That straight six engine sounds like music to my ears.Should cost over R2 Million I guess.Will the future electric cars emit the such sound??? Awesome review by the gentleman.
Nope, expect a lot of fake sound in the upcoming electric cars like i4, etc. Tesla has done this with the Model S P100d by playing a fake Mustang V8 sound in it.
M3 Comp xdrive is a better buy because if one need a pure rwd u can just switch to it and if weather changes to wet conditions then again u switch to awd Sport +
You might be mistaken about the fact, that gt4 is faster around a track. Autocar tested both cars on a track in Wales, and M was faster. It would be a great idea to test them both on Killarney (on the same tires, as was tested in Wales)
Wasn't even planning on watching this video but that second phrase got me.. "Is this the best M3 ever"? Like how is that even a qstn? From a car enthusiast even. WE ALL know that the best M3 is the the E92 V8. Like??? Nice grill though.
@@raymondngatana5870 No bro you see now that's a valid opinion. And yes everything is subjective.. But, I'd give you that the E46 is best, I would, the only problem is the engine, and I guess for the E46, that straight 6 was good. I know the CSL is craaazzyyyy. But nothing tops a V8. The E92 is like a special edition. The only M3 with a V8, and a six speed gearbox alongside the E46. So I'd say between the E46 and E92. But you can't come up and be like a G80 is the best. Naah fam.
@@silindelosikhosana7064 I hear you and agree that the E90/2/3 was/is a special M3. The only bad memories I have with that particular M3 is the W204 😔😔 it was just better in almost every aspect.
@@raymondngatana5870 Lol. Yes better in every single thing maybe apart from handling, of course. But I'd rather slide through corners, so it was the best of that generation. Still is.
@@leratogabrielchauke1503 Not that late actually, these M3s are already on sale and on the streets. Cars.co.za is just either slacking or delaying on purpose.
Hi there, it's Ciro here, I'd like to explain how we get car reviews on to the channel. Firstly I'd like to thank you for your support, we couldn't have grown this channel without you. As with all media outlets in South Africa, we are at the mercy of the manufacturers in terms of test car availability. The manufacturers themselves are at the mercy of shipping delays and production delays in Europe etc, and usually a new car will launch 3-6 months ahead of SA over in Europe. That's why the British and European car RUclips channels are so far ahead of us. Another issue down here in SA is sometimes car dealers will get new models before they are launched to the media, and so people start seeing them on the roads way before we even get a chance to film one. We can't source cars for filming from dealers as they do not have the insurance we need, and so we have to wait for the manufacturers to make media cars available. Cars.co.za is now the very first publication to get every test car that comes out, however sometimes this doesn't even help because a manufacturer might only have 1 test unit, which they will keep in Gauteng for a few months before they send it to Cape Town (this happened with the new BMW M5, for instance.) The video team at Cars.co.za films the test cars as soon as humanly possible. The edit process then takes 5-10 working days depending on the complexity. In summary, what I'd like our audience to know is we push really hard to get videos out on cars in a timely manner, but we have to work within a system that we have no control over. Thank you for your support once again. All the best
@@Carscoza Hi thank you for replying. I now understand what you guys are you g through, and it's not fair on you and on us as your viewers and fans. I remember watching the guys from Canada and they said the same thing as you so I understand and apologise for the premature complaining on my part. All the best!!!
Cars.co.za, I love your youtube channel but what happened to your proper way of doing car reviews? Now we hardly get any interior review and sometimes even the exterior review. Now it feels like your reviews are just for drag races and track days. Please
Goods Ciro. Idobless you for your face your words your smile your driving and suchwhat. M3 wow! Nice car. Ido thing most times remember if itits note polo then golf whowill come rightroun to race you. And assuch the M3 will loose remember I halve M5 RWD. No problem whence wedo receive traction wedo note loose. Mad Watson tole nice car also. I tole hemus come to my house for alcol cigarette and talks. Please join us. Blessing. Smile well as you go.

Dude, I miss them too hey
Wonder if they can't afford the insurance?
But agreed. I still remember their 720s review 🤩
Definitely AGREE!!!
Was going to say the same thing. Seems like they load shed the budget.
Solid point
BMW always on the money with making the best driver focused machines 👌
I'm now getting used to this grill

I hate it with all my heart its ugly
This car looks way better in person.

I've just downloaded the App🥳🥳🥳 easy to use thank you grootman👊🏽
That's so great to hear!
However said money doesn't buy happiness has probably never driven a BMW M3 Competition
Kwaaaaa kwaaaaa kwaaaaa kwaaaaa kwaaaaa iyaa nneh
Its no wonder you get to drive the best in the world, the way in which you put the vehicle out there via your channel is amazing .
This car is awesome.
Great review!
The mating call of Bedfordview 😂😂😂 ja bru.
Best looking M3 i love the new grill
I saw the M3 in the flesh.. 👌👌👌
This is one of the last cars produced in the peak of Turbocharged cars before the Hybrids and honestly I thank Beemer for closing the show in style
To be honest, it makes me sad because cars like this will be extinct in 10-20 years and we must appreciate now because everything will be electric soon. I think the latest G80 M3 could be the last old school car with no electrification. Who knows what the next would M3 be like?
Nothing wrong with hybrids.
In fact, the future hybrid versions will be better in every single way possible excluding only engine sound.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior as long as they don't force that annoying fake sound on us
Hope the performance and engineer department are listening
however some of us can't appreciate a bmw with ugly grill
The next M3 you say?🤔 Powered by a 1 litre engine, silent as wool hitting the floor, and mainly powered by a smartphone battery
I have to go against popular opinion and say that this M3 is beautiful!
Wonderful video. Those are big praises to the M3/4 there Ciro 🤔
That grill is the coolest thing on that car. Probably the best!
Thank you
Please crowd fund an optometrist visit 🙏🏻
I agree love the new grill
That grill is as big and ugly as the ass on a baboon in heat.
ok its been a while now in media seeing the car and i must say that grill..still hasnt grown on me. but a cool car non the less i seriously dig the interior.
You need to see it In person, it actually looks hawt.
@@lyf6626i have a few times already. Right next to the previous version and its still a nope from me lol but its a great car looks mean for sure. And is fast as heck.
@@YusufPetersenCPT Different strokes then i guess? I hated it at first and pics also just don't do it any justice... Untill I saw it on the road and at a few dealerships.
I'm so in love with this BEAST***
Successful design? Absolutely 😍
Love the new M3 Epic car, M Power.
Love the controversial grill : this is a great M car
Perhaps we love these sorts of cars, because daily we are stuck in traffic at 40km/h, potholes galore in Jhb, stuck at a WFH desk, or maybe just because they are aspirational and maybe one day you can afford a 10 year old model when the new electric M3 makes a million kilowatts and costs 10 times the price of your house
most of us will never afford a 10yrs old M3, btw
I checked the prices ....7 year old m3 with 100kmt still are unattainable. Lol. Stupid buys aswell at that point
This M3 looks quite epic on the inside / cockpit side of it. Love it!
Over 80k. Pricing level gone up to another level!
Germany makes the best cars in the world in my opinion.. Nice review
Did Ash click all those M buttons when racing that 5 year old RS5 🤔
I dont think he let it build up boost.
I'm sure he did the car just can't launch
Are you trying to say something?
Old ///M3 owners of every generation be like... "the old one is better"
They still have a lot to learn from Porsche 911 owners.
😂😂😂 true.
Good honest review…..respect 🫡💯🤘🏻
I like the grille
Ciro thats emotional bro
That shit is crazy! Now that I like the buck teeth, in getting the M3!
It's a classic this thing
Very good review 👍🏻
😂 that's savage bro, "if you would like to take on your "enemies" on a red light" sounds exactly like what I would do on a red light standing next to my enemy
Love the new M3
The mating call of Bedfordview😂😂
Is the xdrive version coming to SA?
"It's Frrickkkin...brilliant"
The only review that matters😁
They way he said M dynamic 😄😄😄😄Kasi style
One day is one day 🙌
Safe to say every new M3 is the best M3 ever
I hated this grill with all my heart when I first saw it but now it has grew in me. Especially when the car is black, I hope to own it one day
Aesthetically,it looks better than the M4(my view).That straight six engine sounds like music to my ears.Should cost over R2 Million I guess.Will the future electric cars emit the such sound???

Always enjoy your reviews and the humour! Awesome car...but I am an Audi girl!! Look forward to the next review. Stay safe Ciro.
Mating call of Bedfordview!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone is in love
Great rewiew 👍🏻
A real beast!!!
The car sound from in the car is pumped in by speakers
How much does that interior cost as a optional extra ? Those bucket seats look the bomb !!
The one's I've seen, all have the "standard" interior 🤷♂️
What's the point of the little carbon insets between your legs?
I like the grill
Great reviews.
When are you making the review of the M5 CS?
M3 Comp xdrive is a better buy because if one need a pure rwd u can just switch to it and if weather changes to wet conditions then again u switch to awd Sport +
I feel like interactive music should be scrapped when coming to cars, especially the engine note part, yeah anyone?
I'm buying this
Great Assessment
The Grill is the best ever
Other youtubers had their car launch in 2nd gear which worked well..
Sniper on the roof
Awesome 👌as a //M3 Should be!
Wonder why BMW launch control never seem to work across almost all their performance cars
Hey Ciro. Any idea if the “S.A antiwagonism”stance will deter Bmw from bringing the M3 touring to our shores?
Love the car.Thanks.
Fantastic!!!
But why cant you guys launch this car properly....almost all car reviews I've watched have managed to launch this rear wheel m3/4 perfectly
The new m3 is a great car🔥😍 problem is only that fron grille😐
I'm sure you used to it now
You might be mistaken about the fact, that gt4 is faster around a track. Autocar tested both cars on a track in Wales, and M was faster. It would be a great idea to test them both on Killarney (on the same tires, as was tested in Wales)
Please can you review the Haval Jolion
No Mo mention of its Power, torque or its price .
What about the iOS app? It's really frustrating.
Thank me later:
indicative base pricing for the new BMW M3 Competition and M4 Competition will be R1,860,000 and R1,940,000 respectively.
so the Beaver face design isn't going anywhere ......... yhoooo hayi ke..!
Fantastic review!!!
Atleast it'll sound better than the C63s.
Nice car shame about the front 🤔
Got used to grille
With the same tires M3 would beat Cayman GT4 on track like M4 do
Forever I.C.E 🧊🏎

You guys don't know how to use the launch control that's Why. Other car journalists got it right and it launches great.
That particular M3 only has one problem. That orange interior. Its hideous lol
Well thats an option, not all of them come out with that colour
