วีดีโอ

my son 19years old bought the same car as you tested,, i'm so jalous.. i prefer this car to my IS350 2014... next one for sure for me.. GSF for me!!

I had one of these which I bought in 1995. It was a joy to drive. So connected to the road, and she cornered like a cat! She would throw the back end out and drift back in line. No oversteer and no understeer. Loved that car! Thanks for the video!

would it be worth it to do a quick release style wheel like a momo or sparco? Of course it would be paired with the corresponding safety mods like seats and harnesses but ive been debating to either go quick release or just get a mk7 or mk6 gti wheel.

Any particular reason why you aren't using the 4th gear lockout button and just going straight from 4th to 2nd and back?

Just picked up a E36 M with 246k with intent of doing some tracking. Just the video I needed!

My ef has a crx dash, need to re-flock it so my door panels match

Yes thats true but mines a smg but still classed as manual 😁

Blah blah blah

Yep, east of the Atlantic 99% of student drivers learn to drive in a manual car 😊

33 years ago Car&Driver tested the '91 325i E36 and wrote: "An engine that sings Mozart" Modern BMWs sound like crap 😢

I don't recall this type of steering wheel in euro-spec E36 🤔

Fantastic video! :)

Crazy isnt it but having said that over last 10/15 years automatics are getting more popular than manuals

I have a 99 m3 convertible, bought it 2 years ago with only 70k miles!! it's like in mint condition, got it tuned & cut the cats off & that's it haven't had to do anything to it. got it to 88k miles now it does have a leaking power steering pump & when i had it up on the jack a few months ago i noticed the guibo's got some hairlines in it & doesn't look too good, now you've got me concerned that i definitely need to replace it right away lol

what about one price aftermarket lights😂

Another great video keep up the great work

Curious if you or Ben have replaced rod bearings at all since it’s a higher mileage car. I know it’s not that big of a deal on these cars but I also have a 97 m3 sedan with 260k miles and I plan on doing the oil pump shaft and nut upgrade and oil baffle and pickup tube etc. and I feel like if I’m already down there I might as well replace the rod bearings but i haven’t done a engine oil analysis yet to see if that would dictate my choice. But keep up the good work I always enjoy the e36 videos!

I think I got lucky, cause I scored a relatively low mileage (88,000 miles at the time) early 1992 e36 325is with the special m50b25nv back in March. The previous owners were relatively good to the car, but, they never had any of the major maintenance done (they just did minimum regular maintenance) that needs to get done after that much time, so I've had to overhaul the cooling, power steering, and ignition systems, as well as replace some old rubbers (though i'm not even close to doing everything yet). Despite all that, I love the car, and I've been dailying it since I bought it, so she's been going strong for over 6000 miles :3

My 95 m3 coupe is nearing 300k and I've had little to no problems! Regular maintenance and a little bit of upgrades but it's been great. Bought it in 2018 at 160k miles with an auto trans and now it's getting a manual swap! Can't wait, great video by the way 👏

Great video, just wanted to say I like the content you've been pushing out

Havent even finished the vid but i want one😍

8:50 I thought I was the only one who thought the 3.5 V6 sounded similar to the old Alfa Romeo engines like an Alfa 75 3.0 V6. Good to hear you can notice a similarity as well! I have a 2010 IS350 F Sport in Ultra Sonic Blue that I love. I fitted a Tsudo SP2 axleback, F Sport airbox and exhart intake with sound tube which brings out the growl much more. I didn't want it to sound loud just deepen the overall tone more which I am pleased to say it does. Great video by the way informative and fun review!

it's absolutely incredible how little time is spent answering the question posed in the title (is the damn thing fun or not). way to milk that uTube watch-time algorithm good buddy

Great video interesting as in uk most people drive manual so seems strange to us you lot not knowing how to drive manual but with ev around its going to being going like this everywere

I had for 3 years a '99 prelude (200hp and 162k km) until August. I fell in love with that car, unfortunately, some idiot destroyed it while parked and I sold it :( The only drawback I have is how difficult it is to find body parts in Europe. Someday I will buy another

Great vid! I love my 97 Prelude. I've got the H23A SiR engine swapped into it with an iceman cold air intake and a set of ram horn headers of the custom made variety, and it rips. Lots more engine noise and intake noise too, literally able to hear it gulping up air into the HKS mushroom filter. I loved the stock H22A4 Engine, but the extra torque from the H23A is really nice. You can tell what they were trying to do with the longer stroke and bigger bore, trying to get the most out of the engine. With my setup I wanna say I am in the 220hp/180ftlb torque range with it mostly stock, and you can tell she wants to go even with the minimal mods. I'll also say it is definitely deceptive with size. It's a rather smallish car, but is quite long. It's nearly the same length as my 2008 Mercury Gran Marquis. lol

This car will forever be one of my favourites! Idc if the non-Honda guys think it’s just a civic.

If the owner of this S8 still has it, please let the owner know I am interested in purchasing it. I am in the US. I am in the market for a 2001- 2003 Audi S8 D2. Thanks

2000 Camry LE V6 5speed manual owner here. I've put almost 80k miles on it so far and currently at 250k miles. Daily driver. Best car I've ever owned. I've taken it on several 12 hr road trips and it's such a pleasant driving experience. Way quieter and comfortable than my 2015 Fit 6speed. Comparing comforts, it still doesn't beat my old 07 Maxima SE. But I'll take NA and reliability over a Nissan CVT any day!

What no Fit? Then it isnt every Honda is it?

Gsr secondary butterfly

how come yours has tall geaing? all prelude have short gearing unless modified

Why no Honda Del Sol for us sol heads???

I love the civic SI's, but unfortunately none are very cheap near me, 20k is the lowest priced one for some reason. I'm looking at an SI or a fiesta ST

Instructions unclear, it started to burn oil, water is disappearing and my jacking points got rusty as fak.

I had one and loved this car!!

Don’t know much about cars but doesn’t shifting like that kill your transmission?

That wheelspin was one of the main reasons why I continue to subscribe. Good luck with your winter projects 😊

There is a lot of hardships in the automotive space/hobby, especially for people that own old BMWs 😂 Its been great to watch a real car Enthusiast. Anyone can tell that you genuinely love this stuff. From Cars like Roman, to cars like an NSX. I'm pretty amped for the e36 stuff. Its going to be fuel for me to get back to fixing my e36 ❤

The 3500 subs are well deserved Sonny! I'm in school too so I feel you on the time haha so no projects for me this winter, just my daily driver e92 328.

Well done to were you are now keep up the great contents you doing great job and looking forward to more e36 contents

I’ve subscribed and unsubscribed to countless ‘popular’ automotive TH-camers over the years, and your channel is one of the few I continuously enjoy. Thank you for the content and positive vibes. Rooting for you for your next chapter with the channel!

It was definitely an up and down year, but a lot of positive has happened. Sparky looks better than it ever has. TH-cam growth is great, and we both learned more about our vehicles!

Can’t wait to help with your VANOS

I change spark plugs now I got p1189 and p0173

so my 2001 camry makes def more than rated torque after watching this. mine is faster than yours, shift points are all off it should hit 6800 every gear

my favorite si. i want one of these
