Happy Monday everyone! We're hoping BMW will send us the manual M3 later this summer, but once you get past the obnoxious grille, this new M3 will make you fall in love with BMW's ability to deliver a true driver's car. The new version is relentless and puts the power down like an AWD car, which is still coming for 2022.
If it wasn't for the grill, I'd buy one. It's just so horrendously designed. The vertical disruption into the hood; getting rid of the iconic BMW kidneys. I can't figure out whether it looks like a big nose or the teeth of a rat. Sports cars are supposed to look low and sleek, not have their radiator be the highest point on the hood. If someone designed a car that has the looks, engine and sound of the Giulia, the handling and refinement of the BMW and the interior of the Mercedes, you would have the best sports sedan, and dare I say the best car in the world (rather easily). I'd pay $100k for it at least. Nothing in this category jumps out at me at the moment, but nothing is bad either. They're all pretty good and each one is a good buy depending on what you value most.
I just bought one and it needs a big grill for breathing and cooling, 503hp out of a factory online 6 is great. The grill has grown on me but maybe because I own one.
I love this guy! So honest how he eviscerates the truly ghastly front grille throughout the review, even while praising the driving capabilities. So many funny comments throughout also. My favorite YT car reviewer by far.
@@vr6gls yes, like the Straight Pipes guys were very diplomatic but you could tell they didn't think it looked good. Sofyan, OTOH, knocks it multiple times but in a matter of fact kind of way. The bit with the taped on Euro license plate to split the grille was pure comedy lol.
I think the face for the M3 and the new 4 series is really stunning. It definitely stands out from the crowd. I didn't like it at first, but the more I see it the more I like it. Gonna go very soon to see it in person and give my final verdict.
Omg! He is so damn funny! I literally spit my drink out when he said; “it grows on me every time I look at it!” (Talking about the grille LOL!) iWould love to see how hilarious he is Tipsy 🍹 lol!
I seriously don’t understand why people think it’s so ugly. Yes, the grill is big but it doesn’t look all that bad. Overall I think the car looks amazing
I like that BMW is attempting to be daring😏although I am adapting to its new looks. Sofyan my favorite part of this awesome review is when you exclaimed "It just pulls and pulls for days!!!“ Your response makes me want to drive it😆
I don’t mind the grill and tired of people complaining about it.. actually glad BMW made this different than the rest of the lineup which all look the same in the rear view mirror
@@AM-tz6sy it looks much better in person, but don’t expect Bmw to get rid of the grille. It’s really not bad at all, pictures don’t do any justice, the presence is definitely there when you’re standing next to it
You laugh like Doug Demuro when he’s accelerating really fast! That’s actually a compliment! It’s no wonder that you have almost 1,000,000 subscribers.
It's a return to form with this G80 M3. I really really like it. It kind of does everything the F80 didn't, except for looking good. Honestly, it doesn't even look that bad. The M4's proportions are terrible. You brought up the comment about it reminding you about the BMWs from 20 years ago. I keep bringing this up, but if I drove the F30/F10 as my first BMW experience, I wouldn't have thought twice about the brand. My first BMW experience was with an E39 and E90, and I adored them. Bravo, BMW!
People that can afford to buy it new once will just buy another when the warranty is up. Expensive things usually cost money to maintain. Not surprising
No better excuse for being poor than hey there’s more poor people like me . SMH. I used to be poor to man , lose that woe is me hater mentality and hustle away . No fucking excuses bro
I like Doug just because he’s a great guy and the cars are sometimes interesting. I much prefer watching Redline though. Sofyan’s videos have improved so much in the past 8 years, when I first started watching him.
@@garrettw99 Totally agree, Garrett. I was a Doug fan from his first Carrera GT review, but he's like every Tom Clancy novel - too much detail. Sometimes I enjoy it. Other times, it's too much detail - I often prefer a high angle on something over the nitty gritty. Sofyan give you what you need to know. Done! Love it! And we can't forget his laugh when the car out-accelerates his own sanity :)
doug is a moron.. his rating scale makes no logical sense. his car listing site is just trash compared to bring a trailer. I can't stand a bit of doug online. hope he finds a proper life somewhere else
Redline actually runs the cars hard and I like that he now times the 0-60. Doug usually floors it for a second and backs off going back to quirks and features talk.....
The grill just looks perfect, actually the best ever. Just look at it everyday and sometimes you will figure out. I had the same doubt when I saw it the first time, but once I got it, few months ago, I like it so much. Specially, driving it makes so great joy.
I saw one in person drive past me in a gray color and while the grille is still a bit much, I like it. I can forget about the look if it performs well. As the saying goes, "It's the inside that counts."
you could, but you don't have to. There's always last year's model, or you could wait for next year's, which will no doubt be prettier! BMWs, more than most makes, have always been reliably good-looking. BMW NEVER had this kind of problem before...
03:34 "I do think that it's starting to grow on me over the last couple of days. In fact the grill itself just looks like it's growing everytime I look at it." That backhanded compliment LOL
All jokes aside with the European license plate on yhe front, the grill looks awesome. Its one car where having the license plate on the front is a Plus rather than itmessing up the look of it.
Personally, I am a fan of the looks even with that grill. This thing looks mean, especially in darker colors. Very unique and stands out against all the bland competition.
I test drove one recently and this can run with 992 GT3 with the same HP but the M3 have way more torque. During my test drive I even walked a Model S P100D.
BOOOOOOO to electric, Idk what the rush is, there is no infrastructure in place to accommodate this electric car rush that's being pushed. What's being done with factories and other institutions making much more fossil fuels and emissions? Ships? Planes? trains?

California requires front license plates...however I don't think the Grill look bad, I like it.
better than the Alfa?
@@jonstephen9313 hahaha is this a serious question. Of course it is.
@@jonstephen9313 nope. Alfa is still better, despite being a 5 year old car.
Sofyan talking about the M3 looks while swooning over those ghastly hyundai and kia vehicles. Get some impartiality bro.
"It's growing on me. In fact, I feel the grill is growing every time I look at it." 😂
Lol😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's really nice in this video....
BMW knew this would happen. It happens every refresh/redesign.
Prolly the greatest comment about that grill full stop!
You did not just say "a face that only a mother could love" 🤣🤣
That’s what he’d say for something like the Avalon or sonata haha

I actually like the grill. It looks mean and aggressive, but to each their own.
Agreed. At first I was like wtf? But it didn't take long at all for me to really like it. It looks more future state honestly.
Same the grill is different and not the same ol grill year after year after year. So I really like it.

Me too! I love that Sofyan was truthful about how awful that front end is. Most auto journalists try to sugarcoat it to not upset some of the fanboys.
I saw one the other day on the freeway. I thought YT reviewers were exaggerating, but I have to admit, it’s quite hideous in real life.

with a face only a mother can love 😂😂💯
On this car, strangely, the grille works. This car has perfect proportions
No. No it doesn’t. You’re imagining things.
@@jagpilotohio yes, yes it does. Your just delusional and bland so you like the same thing year after year after year.
Love the front end. Its what really sets this thing off in my opinion. Almost like it makes it that much more special
It’s ugly in my opinion
They're not kidney's, they're lungs at this point.
Yep. The lungs of a man addicted to smoking 🚬
Maybe its made like that to intake Air. Oh no....
It's funny because I didn't like them when this was first revealed but now I really like them. They give the car very menacing look in the front.
I think the face for the M3 and the new 4 series is really stunning. It definitely stands out from the crowd. I didn't like it at first, but the more I see it the more I like it. Gonna go very soon to see it in person and give my final verdict.
Same
Never thought I’d see the day when I don’t mind the redesigned Lexus grille and I absolutely hate the redesigned BMW grille

Grill is starting to grow on me. Those wheels are SICK tho.
Yes, I love the rims too.
I think I am the only one on earth who actually likes the new front end, never liked the front of the older models
@Morne there are plenty of people that like it judging by the comments
Nope. I love it. I owned the previous version M4 and loved that too. But it looks "dated" now that I have seen the new ones.
I love it as well.
That grill geez. Reminds me of the f1 car with the tusks for a front wing. Aggressive I believe they called it.
I like that BMW is attempting to be daring😏although I am adapting to its new looks. Sofyan my favorite part of this awesome review is when you exclaimed "It just pulls and pulls for days!!!“ Your response makes me want to drive it😆
Yeah that’s why I like the grill so much. It’s DIFFERENT and not the same damn face year after year after year.
The front end is perfect because it doesn't look like a camry or accord like every other Mercedes or Audis
Nothing wrong with font end, u just have2 see it in person! Looks good 👍
I don’t mind the grill and tired of people complaining about it.. actually glad BMW made this different than the rest of the lineup which all look the same in the rear view mirror
I actually like the grill.
Doesn’t matter how good it is. I m sure BMW is coming up with a refreshed front next year.
They better
Doesnt matter bmw will continue to make ugly cars unless they go back and restyle them back in the 80s and 90s roots
@@AM-tz6sy it looks much better in person, but don’t expect Bmw to get rid of the grille. It’s really not bad at all, pictures don’t do any justice, the presence is definitely there when you’re standing next to it
And the whole front will be the grille. Headlights behind the grille.
they didn't remake it last time it was also big and criticized. It went further in that direction lol
I might be the only person who likes the grill =/
Not alone
Your not alone, I loves it
I like it too!
I think people are exaggerating how the grill looks
I think BMW did that. I'm just looking at what they did. LOL
That thing is SICK!!! Carbon fiber roof? Wow!!
Um e92 m3 had carbon fibre roof, nothing new about that...
It’s beautiful and aggressive and that’s called creative innovation
These grills look beautiful to me now. This grill is separated too unlike on the 440i for example. I love it.
I wholeheartedly agree
The grill is terrible, the rest of the car is beautiful! Hopefully a someone will make a body kit to correct it.
There's already quite a few offerings on the market I believe!
Plastic surgery

Would have to get the car in black to help hide it.
This front grill looks good imo. Am i alone?
I am getting use to it but if you see it again after a week or if you do a side by side of the previous generation , Yikes!
I don’t hate it but I don’t like it either.
It’s kind of silly at first but you just have to get use to it
@Soul Seeker no
I'm glad you mentioned that it looks like a lexus in the rear. I've been saying this and almost everyone I've spoken to has disagreed

Can’t we all just get over the grill ..gorgeous car
I love how it looks. If you haven’t seen it in person you need to. Pictures don’t do it justice.
I think the front looks amazing. Reminds me of f1 cars
I love that snoody looking grill! Haters gonna hate!

I was lucky enough to get to drive my friends M3 that he did some work to - and now has 500+ hp. It's an Insane car and a blast to drive.

I freakin’ love everything about this car…..EVEN THE GRILLE!!!
Saw this In person and the grill is good and isn’t atrocious!
The grill is dope. You trippin. The grill makes the car standout and more appealing as opposed to the standard thing we've always seen in BMWs.
In this trim and Color, that grill isn't too ugly.
3.6 sec to 60mph with wheel hop is 😯
The grill really isn't bad at all. People just hate change.

I hope you let Rob drive it as a reward for getting so many angles of that grille.
Man, the giant BMW grills are starting to grow on me. Just like the Lexus predator grills have.
22:06 was exactly the reaction i was expecting!
I love the new look and a grill, it looks stunning on a road and is much more striking than boring looking mercedes and audis.
yeup, seen some irl, they look nice
I agree
The Pontiac Aztek and B9 Tribeca just opened their arms to this BMW.
That M3 is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I want it BAD but in awd
In darker colors, along with the front license plate mount, that front end is lot less noticeable.
The part where he thought the seat fold down was an armrest 😂😂
Rear door isn’t flared out as much for aero. Helps to keep the car down with more downward force coming down on over the wheel wells.
Can we address the grille tho lol
Lol say what you want about it's looks but this is the most fun I've seen him have in a car om this channel sounds like a winner
I have been waiting for this review, last week i was actually searching for your review on the M3. Glad you read my mind ;)
Was waiting on you forrrr agessssss! great video, as always! :)
The car looks good, including the grill.
Now do the M4 competition... So excited you finally go your hands on the M3!
Another stellar review Sofyan. Love that license plate European frame.
Grill ain't bad, it actually looks pretty good
Riccardo ZF transmission, Best of the Best.
Personally, I am a fan of the looks even with that grill. This thing looks mean, especially in darker colors. Very unique and stands out against all the bland competition.
Definitely polarizing looks.
A few more years and the grille size will grow to obscenely massive proportions.
That bland competition all have large front grills.
I'm waiting on a solid after-market front fascia replacement. I'd spend an extra $3k to make it not hideous. Great car otherwise.
it already exists, but after seeing it in real life, it's actually has a very stunning effect.

2021 M3 Sounds Boss! I am interested right now
I like the grill btw, especially with how they colored it, the red looks good on this car
I never ever thought the kidney grills were all that attractive to begin with, esp the modern ones.
I test drove one recently and this can run with 992 GT3 with the same HP but the M3 have way more torque. During my test drive I even walked a Model S P100D.
Then he was not racing you....
Not a fan of the grille but that sound so nicer than the previous year. Digging it on a white color and if they had a red leather seats
The fact that BMW still sells it with a manual makes me give them a pass on that grill.
Nice review! I ordered a manual version. Can’t wait for it to get here!
Congrat!

When you slap a license plate on the front end, which you have to have in most states, it actually looks perfect.
I think this may go down as the best M3 ever, especially since it might be the last true M3 engine car we get, electric here we come
BOOOOOOO to electric, Idk what the rush is, there is no infrastructure in place to accommodate this electric car rush that's being pushed. What's being done with factories and other institutions making much more fossil fuels and emissions? Ships? Planes? trains?
