- Today I discuss everything that annoys me with my E92 M3. This was difficult to make..I LOVE THIS CAR. So I definitely am nitpicking here, but I think these are some valid reasons to not love certain aspects of the car.
Let me know if you agree in the comments!

This one was TOUGH to make 😂 I just love this car, but like any car..there will be shortcomings. Let me know if you agree, or if you have any to add? Check out my full video on this car here: Watch This Before You Buy An E9X M3...

Holy cow bells! I was wondering what the noise was under the car when I started to move it! Now I know it’s the center support carrier bearing. Would’ve never figured this out without your video! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Man I finally got to drive a G80 comp for my first time yesterday and it made me really appreciate my E92 M3! The S58 is a monster but the steering feel and lack of communication while cornering was a let down 😢
Facts. The e92 is just different in its own right, it feels special everytime I drive it
@@ThicWhips yep! Doesn't even have to be driven hard to enjoy. It's like therapeutic 😌
Steering feel >>> speed. Was also let down in that regard from the supra and more so the G80.
@@musawaseem8417 I wonder if the G87 feels better in that area? 🤔 I feel like F87 had sharper steering than the F80 but the smaller wheelbase definitely played a role.
@@micraw714 even my f36 has more communication with the road through the steering than the newer cars. I guess I need to get an e92 in the future for that hydraulic steering haha.
the cow bell sound, you dont need to replace anything, just take the drive shaft apart and apply grease. I did mine 5years back and still not a sound since.
For the seat belt, just get a seat belt position clip and the arm with grab onto it fine
This man said, louder exhaust fixes the interior rattles. Legend
Agree with most of this. I actually love way revs and it is fun at normal legal speeds. I have a model y and had model 3 long range and they give you so much torque without really any effort and no real fun before into licence losing territory. Enjoy just the experience of driving the car for sound. So missing from a lot of modern cars now
Pole positions look so good in e9x m3's. Problem for me is that I would need to register my car as a 2 seater even if I have the rear seats in. Then my insurance doubles.
Worth it! 😂😂
@@ThicWhips also, when you go to do the headliner you might as well get the carbon roof done. Hgk has them for 820 euros ($920 usd ~) cheaper than going through IND even after shipping.
I am definitely interested in that I’ll check it out!
Dam bro so glad you mentioned the cow bell😂 my ass has been looking under the car trying to tighten every bolt…
Yeah it’s pretty common, I’m going to upgrade mine soon there
I had an e90 330i and the passengers would complain when having a drink because it’d block the air vent which is a big deal here in Florida. It gets hot!!!
My drivers seatbelt hander works most of the of time (after I fixed it) 🙂 (unless on a step slope!). But no there not useless, wait until you get older, I'm 54 and I struggle to reach the belt if the hander fails 😛. Interesting video anyway, and good to hear what the propshaft support bearing noise sounds like 👍
Btw I have the 'Hifi audio' (1 up from base), sounds great, but I too often turn the music down to hear the engine!
Re torque, that's because it's a high HP NA engine 😛, and it's not sluggish over 4k RPM, lol.
Great cars. Had most newer m3 variants w exception of e30. I can identify w these flaws. E46 and e36s were my favorites.
I 100% agree with the lack of torque. Definitely takes away from the fun but when it’s up to speed, sheesshh. Best drivers car I’ve owned so far
Haha yup!
can you fix it by changing the diff like you can in the e46?
@@oni5909yes I believe so. Mine is just going through a full track transformation for the summer I will post back after I have had a go with the final drive 👍 whilst it's had tons of other work carried out I will hopefully be able to pinpoint the difference from the final drive. One thing I will say is that weight reduction makes a massiveee difference on these cars. Fully stripped it was a completely different beast. Even after a full cage went in there is zero comparison to stock. From a heavy tame car it has transformed it, unrecognisable performance gains and that was still with one of the stock electric seats
The sound of your M3 is great..love it..i think M3 e92 and e93 is the best looking and best driving car for everyday use ..
Such a beautiful spec thic whips! Since your e90 I’ve been inspired to get one looking to make that dream come true in 2024
I’d love to grab another e90 someday, I love those
The e9x m3 has always been a dream car of mine since owning a e90 335, this video didn’t change my mind at all 😂
So THATS what that little ping (cow bell) noise is. My E93 has made that noise since ive owned it (2018) and I just thought it was a BMW noise 😅
they make extenders for the seatbelt butler that fixes the missed grab issue
Hey just a heads up! I have a e92 m3 as well. My headliner started failing in the same spot and it started failing quickly shortly after. so take care of it before the whole rear starts falling.
Great video.
Just for pure driving experience and enjoyment, drivers car type of feel. which would you pick?
1: BMW M2 Comp
2: Porsche 718 Cayman S
3: BMW e92
(Manuals for all of these)
That’s tough. But I’d probably stick with my e92 based on the sounds and steering feedback alone.
I love hydraulic steering so I appreciate that comment.
As a former and long time M3 owner... This list is gospel... And some of it applies to E46 and E36 M3s as well. Such great cars though. You always regret selling them if they are manuals... Don't know exactly why, but they are just special cars you fall in love with.
Couldn't agree more!
Very complete assessment of e9x m3.....maybe add the throttle actuators to the list?
Yeah, along with rod bearings I suppose.
Still working my way there so I can share the same annoyance as you do with the E92 M3
Tall people complain about seating position, my complaint is the steering wheel position. I can put my seat really low but the wheel stays high at an odd angle.
Might be more related to body type and torso length? My seats are practically on the floor but I find the wheel to be perfect
Yeah maybe so, I just have always preferred my steering wheel pointing straight at my chest
@@TexasTagz just readjust it? takes 1 sec
hey that slight oil "Sweat" right below the oil cap is from the powder coat where the oil cap screws into chipping, i have that same issue as well, powder coated valve covers would solve that issue as well
Yup, pretty common. You can also run the e46 cap and even out the powder coat up top by lightly sanding it down. This helps with the oil sweating
@@ThicWhips thanks for the tip, love the car btw, keep grinding 🤙
BIG props for the single hump!
Insane beautiful
These cup holders are awesome!!! They hold coffe over the floor Matt’s and who cares about passengers clothes
I find it interesting that younger BMW enthusiasts are way more into the E92 then older BMW enthusiast like myself.
E92 is BMW’s best race spec chassis available for the masses.
The headliner in my f22 is torched. Headliner sag and the sunroof shade is completely peeled. Got a quote for an Alcantara upgrade... $2k
Yeah I figured it would be a few k. We’ll see it may not even be worth it
@@ThicWhips would look soooooo good though
they make a kit where you can convert the s65 to have a oil dip stick
Yessir!
This car definitely sounds amazing
Do you have the Evolve carbon intake manifold
Hey there, I'm not sure if you went over if the color of the car is paint or wrapped. What's that color called?
Not to assume but from the look of your car you can afford it just get the carbon fiber drive shaft for the car it makes a pretty big difference. 🤙
I’ve heard that creates more vibrations throughout the car, which I definitely do not invite lol
You hit everything on point great video. Would you say its worth to upgrade sound system if you have the logic 7 premium? Thats what i have and was thinking if an upgrade is necessary . Thank you.
That’s a tough call. I’m not a massive audiophile so sound to me isn’t really all that important. Based on the price of alpha one, I’d personally be fine with logic 7
Thank you so much brother. Please keep up the great work on these e92 m3 videos! I love them
Lol cowbell. Had to fix it out of pure annoyance
Great E92! Can you tell me, which of those two seats (pole position and sportster) seat lower? Have huge problem with height in my car so need to set it as low as possible
Pole sits lower
Maybe for a future video, is there anything on your personal E92 M3 you’d like to fix/upgrade or mod but you’re not going to do because…….
Good idea, I’ll make a video!
Just curious.. Why did you buy a "road trip" steering wheel... but have non-road trip bucket seats? My personal opinion the racing style steering wheels look much better. But I love the car regardless. =)
It’s a custom steering wheel that I designed based on what I liked. Has nothing to do with track, road trip, any of that. It’s just my person preference in style and cosmetics
Miss my E90 M3, car wasn't the fastest but a blast to drive
So much fun!
Great Vid…im definitely getting one.
Great video, lots of good insight!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That ding sound when put in gear my 2006 325i does it can that be same problem for me bro?
How do you like the car compared to your m4?
What are those angel ayes ?
Are you going to add starlights ?
those slow speed problems on DCT applies for 335i?
Good points bro!
Hey man i have an f30 and i just tried to add sport+ , auto fold mirrors and a couple other things and also i tried the blinking tails and it doesnt show sport+ anymore im wondering when i press code and it shows restarting wco and whatnot if it deleted my other stuff specifically sport plus, thank you❤
im currently at 7k kms since my last oil change how often do you change your engine oil?
Have you had any issues with the footwell module? I've seen some stuff on the forums where these go bad and regardless if there's nothing wrong with the car bimmercode will state there is a critical error almost recognizing the module is on its way out
Not in this car, but I did have to replace mine in my e90
man... low key wished you stayed on the supra platform but i guess that's not the path you wanted to take 😐
You must get a E60 M5 sometime
That is a bmw that I enjoy watching and letting my friends own so I can experience without the headaches 😂
i will have this one day /i love your car btw.
My e90 328i mpg is 16.7 LOL
Have you driven the E46 M3 before?
Of course. Many
@@ThicWhips besides the sound of the v8, which driving experience would you prefer of the two and why? Both being manual
These cars has a SOUL! 👌
*before watching the video*
Number 1: it’s not a sedan
Did you sell the 513m's
Yes
I hate how the seat belt rubs my neck.
Haha yup mine does the same
❤
early
Welcome!
Seating.....
you are a leaf eater bro😆
I’m actually carnivore lol
