- Well...I jacked up the angle on the GoPro, but I figured I'd still put the video up. Sorry about that.
I take the M3 around for a quick drive and explain what I'm going to do to the car in the coming future and what I think of it in its current state.

Stay tuned for more crazy!
I think you should go for it Matt. Your business is doing well. Land's definitely not getting any cheaper in Florida and God's not making any more of it.
RockyTop1911 well Hawaii... lol
I am sorry, I know you are Americans, but God? Are you sure...?!
@@danielfl.9347 It's really just more of a turn of phrase.
pigs bladder Yeah okay. I can follow that!
@@danielfl.9347 perhaps respect the beliefs of others.
E92 M3, Manual N/A end of era. Gotta love it.
I have a Nissan Gtr and a e92 m3 as a daily. It is my favorite M3 PERIOD, just everything about it. It's one of those cars that feels amazing to drive. The engine is prolly one of the best ever to exist in the bmw m division. High revving, naturally aspirated V8 that sounds amazing (especially with my Gintani Valvetronic race exhaust). The steering feels great, the engine feels amazing, and the transmission. (I have a DCT) feels so responsive. When I drove the new M3s there was something missing. Idk what exactly it was but it wasn't just a v8 it is way more than that... The M3 is the right amount of power for daily and track use. Just an amazing car... 4 years into my ownership and I still love it. 😊
I hear people complain about the low-end torque in city driving though
@@hkn_r34 it's not the fastest off the line but once you hit about 4k RPM in 2nd it's like awakening the dragon
There’s a lazy spot with these cars, they feel better in dct imo. But with the right breather mods and tune you won’t even notice it much
@@hkn_r34 True...I wanted to buy one as my daily...ended up buying the M2 instead. I loved it and love it more then the heavier, bigger e92 M3. But that V8 and the steering rack is awesome ;)
COREY TATARYAN is ur exhaust as loud as a Eisenmann race with the valves open?
7:50 You have no idea how anxious I am for that vision to become a reality.
I really enjoy your honesty! No matter if it's giving credit or doing 100mph in a 35... I'm looking forward to seeing you grow and expand as a human and a company...
facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
got love the honestly
Great video. I've owned an e92 M3 for over 8 years now, and to your point, I have yet to find a car that I like more. Future classic. Period.
Matt, some said it and I’ll echo. I would get the Dinan stroker and turn your car into a reliable M3 GTS inspired tribute car. Forced induction is nowhere as reliable long term as normally aspirated. And Dinan cars will be even more desirable in the future if you decide to sell...no brainer
more power just means less time you get to enjoy flooring it, it's close to perfect as is
I would sign up for a OG destination. I work in corporate hospitality and to be able to visit a fellow gearhead spot (away from the wife and kids and family obligations) would be the guys version of Disney. Go get em Matt!
E92 M3 is legendary car, I definitely see you keeping it for quite a while
I completely understand you. I myself, used to own an M4 for about 4 months and it was an great car overall, but I got tired of it quickly, for some reasons. After the first 2-3 weeks, I had no " pleasure " driving it anymore and I ended up trading it in. I've been having my 6 Spd Manual E90 M3 for nearly 2 years now and I still enjoy driving it to this day. It puts a smile on my face every time. I even prefered my E60 over the F80. There's just something with those old Bmw's that the new ones don't have.
Compliments from an honest person, who has access to many desirable cars, speaks volumes for the e92 M3.
Paint Correction bed & breakfast. I'd certainly sign up!
If you let the E9X M3 and E6X M5 /M6s get up to temperature before driving them hard, you will not have rod bearing issues.
As much still would replace every 50k to 80k
Master Of Dizaster replace ROD BEARINGS every 50-80K miles??? What sort of crap engine design would require such a ridiculous service so often?
Yeah, 75,000 miles seems like a good place to do it.
@@ObsessedGarage and I can understand doing it then if there was some sort of original parts manufacturing or design flaw. But I would hope the replacement parts address whatever flaws were in the original. Surely the rod bearings wouldn't have to be changed repeatedly.
That has been proven false dozens of times. Go on the forums and see for yourself how many people have had RB failure regardless of how they treat the car (babied, thrashed, and everything in between). RBs can also let go at any mileage, the issue is tolerance stacking and there's nothing you can do to prevent it. Some have failed at under 20k mi. Get some BE bearings and forget about it - problem solved.
I love the styling of the e92 m3. It is a very balanced car and I 100% agree with you. It does not need to be new, I dont like to have too much tech. I like cars to be more simple and mechanical.
go for it Matt with the 100 acre property . i am sure most of us followers dont think or care if your getting richfromf ur business !! i like seeing ur ideas and your M3 !! cant wait to see what you do with it when its perfect to you . But yes the M3 E92 is just the perfect car .. I just wish i had brought a manual !! dct just is not doing it for me .. if only there was a kit you could buy off the shelf for a manual conversion , hint hint !! i like my car and if i could change it to manual DIY, I would never sell it .
70 acres is a lot of space. That would be awesome! Would love to come to a OG destination like that.
CORSA. CORSA. CORSA. I have one on my e92 m3 and it's seriously perfect. No drone and it sounds exotic.
Try to heel toe with the power button on, you'll have a much easier time. I've found that many 6MT owners have it on by default because it makes rev matching a lot smoother. DCT owners leave it off for the most part.
I daily my E92 and get 20 mpg 8)
This series has inspired me to give it the care it truly deserves as it has been so good to me
I wouldn't let go of it it's going to be a gem in the long run i have mine and it will always stay in my garage I'm always modding it to look different from others there always something to mod im the e92 m3
Recently purchased a manual bugeye impreza RS and I emphasize with you learning heel toe. A bit tricky but feels so good to get it right. I feel the same about my 2.5 impreza as you do about the m3. It's not the fastest impreza, but it just feels awesome, and theres nothing like NA
It all started with a Journal...which turned into Obsessed. I can't tell you to do it or not in regards to the land/expansion but I've been enjoying the journey with you. Again, glad you're documenting this with us through TH-cam. "Do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life". Keep it up Matt. We're all rooting/watching!
Thanks man.
That m3 is definetly one of my dream cars
I feel the exact same way about my 2008 Audi rs4
Oh and thanks for the pressure washer. Hasn’t got here yet, but will post an unboxing video when it does.
Hey Matt! Glad to see the car coming along! For the press to remove bushings, harbor freight sells a nice cheap hydraulic press you could use, then return if you don't want to keep it. It's roughly 8 inches wide, and 4 1/2 ft. tall. It's a nice small footprint for limited space. Otherwise, you could always use a blow-torch, and burn the bushings out the old-fashioned way! Hope this helps, cheers!
Perfect. I'll check it out.
been here since around 10k subs love every move you make man and your honesty.
Always a pleasure seeing you smile Matt :)
Have you taken a look at what Team Schirmer does for their builds? Some E92 inspiration
Nice to see you in a well maintained m3. I say do all the proper mods, weight reduction etc. Car would feel great with 100lb weight reduction and full bolt-on. You already have a fast car, keep this one as your well mannered/fast daily. M3’s are best known for being high revving n/a anyway.
That's what I'm thinking.
So glad you got one of these ive been thinking about getting one as a daily for a while now but was worried it wouldn't be fast enough. Honestly the emissions with not having a CAT is a bit silly as that makes absolutely 0 impact whatsoever it would being worried about throwing a pea in the ocean
Hello Matt. I had the E92 M3 as well. All stock except for Dinan cat back. I miss the V8 but am extremely happy with my 2019 M2 Competition. Drive one when you have an opportunity. I know you weren't a fan of he S55 in the F80, but I like it in the smaller M2. Cheers!
E92's are just the best. Period.
I like the way you talk about your future plans it's something that is not easy but you have some real drive (accidental pun)⚙️
for brakes, checkout the essexparts ap racing kits. lightest brakes you can get for this car.
I wish BBS made an 18 in their new RT88s that would be the perfect street wheel. Nice video and thoughts on the e92M3. I want another M3 again but can't decide between E46M3 or e92M3. Both amazing but I think the e92M3 is the better car.
Real Estate is at an all-time high because everyone wants something bigger and better or doesn't risk selling, and the interest rate is relatively high for the last 8 years or so... I'd say put any major plans on hold until 2020 and just enjoy your life right now.
Love the e92 and the potential for the new ranch. Live the dream 👍😇
The Active Autowerke Signature exhaust should go nicely with your quad resonated X pipe set up, should have minimal drone while having a more aggressive exhaust note. The AA exhaust has two separate hemholtz noise reducers on each muffler to keep drone out of the cabin.
Matt, you should do a mountain run in the BMW with a bunch of BMW guys. Same as the GT3 trip but with all things BMW.
Hell yeah. I have an Eisenmann Sport on my e92 m. love it :P
Love the idea of building a compound! You live in the perfect area for that. If you make it happen I know a group of us that would come check it out from St Pete. Love the roads over by you.
As You mentioned: "Built it and they will come!"
I love Matt so much!!!! "who's gonna stop me!?!"
Akra Evolution. Best exhaust Sound IMO
I would make the trip from Washington state to see that place if you turned it in to what you talked about
Can’t stop starring at the hood bump😦😍
Man that car sounds great!
Glad to hear you are keeping the mods at a few hundred dollars. Well done Matt.
Screw the supercharger, you’re near sea level. Call up Steve Dinan and get his stroker motor.
I do like that idea.
What about just a different final drive differential, I don't need the top speed in the US, been looking at turner motor sports offerings, any thoughts?
The atrocity of new vehicles has sent me back to some good old E92 content
I started following you when you had the F80 M3 and was surpised when you sold it. I went and drove a M4 and it just didnt feel special I have driven a E90 M3 and it felt a lot more like a M car should I was expecting the F80 to feel The same just with more power but it just isnt there. Maybe the competition pack fixes that but the E90 M3 is from a time when BMW was more concerned about the best driving experience instead of Fast 0-60 & 1/4 Mile times
Build it and they will come! I've been following you for years and you only show what works. I'm down if you build a correction farm. I'll be the first customer!
You should consider the UUC Corsa, very exotic sounding with a beautiful smooth note
M performance inconel exhaust paired with that Dinan mid pipe you have on the car would be heavenly.
It’s great to see you’re enjoying your E92 M3! You’re proving all those haters wrong; that you can never be satisfied. Just like with women, sometimes you can have one and not realize how good she is until she’s gone (like your 2011 model). Fortunately with cars, you can buy the same model again later on though 😉!
I see a supercharger in your future.
don't admit your speed on youtube
Ross Thompson what would happen?
Patrick94GSR not a damn thing he’s just being a silly narc
@@utbigpapa you mean like cops came to his house after the video went up and bagged the dude? Seems a double standard there, because often motorists or cyclists will show a cop dashcam or GoPro footage of someone driving dangerously or otherwise acting like an idiot, and the cop will be like "nope can't do anything about it if I didn't see it myself". I hate that crap.
@@utbigpapa Yes. It has happened and more than a few times.
Catless m3 sounds godly
Put a chassis mount shifter on it and eliminate all the clunk while you’re shifting.
“The goal for me isn’t to get rich and to have some big mansion. The goal is to do what it is I wanna do and then provide the world with a solution that doesn’t exist.” Truly inspiring words Matt
Wow, only 14.8 mpg in a small car with a manual transmission. You must be enjoying those revs!
change your diff fluid, I've known a few ppl that have improved the overly notchy feeling (anything above the oem notchiness)
Go American Racing Headers Full System especially if you’re a hooligan !!
YES! Been waiting!
get a small hydraulic press for the bushings
Must suck living in a country with endless straight roads in a performance car. You would love Scotland and the north coast 500 roads.
Aftermarket high flow catalytic converters would be a great solution if you don't want to put back the factory cats.
Interested in seeing those properties.
Touring today!
If it's anything like the E46 suspension, there should be factory tools to press out old bushings. Something like this: www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben-parts/schwaben-rear-trailing-arm-bushing-tool/020610sch01a/
Glad to hear that!!!! Can’t wait for the future to come with the M3!! Let me know if you need help or advice with anything!
Forgot to ask I’ve been looking everywhere for what kind if in car camera you use? Footage is excellent. I want to buy a camera for track use. Thanks!
This was shot with two GoPro Hero6 cameras and Edutige ETM-008 mic and GoPro mic adapter. My other videos are shot with Panasonic GH5 and Sennheiser EW-112 mic.
Obsessed Garage thanks for the quick response Matt! Ready to take some footage at some point with my 997.1. Thanks for all that you do!
Does this M3 have a CDV? I noticed you released the clutch and seems like the clutch was slow to engage. BMW installed them on the 6 Speed E60 M5 and I absolutely hated it.
Christian Noel i’ve deleted the CDV in my E90 (not M3) and you can feel the difference!
No courtesy rev? You’ve changed 😛
Here in England it’s completely illegal to drive a car on the road without catalytic converters, are there not any regulations in the US?
Great video though man, first one I’ve watched but love the knowledge.
Depends on which state you live in In the USA. each state is different as far as emissions goes.
UH OH! There's a new 911 in town!! Time for an upgrade!!
Heel toe on this car is much easier when you're at higher revs. Regular driving I personally struggle to get a good match
Scott Grande heel toe downshifting is only necessary at high rpm anyway. At low rpm a simple rev match downshift prior to braking works just fine. Been driving my car that way for 17+ years now.
@@Patrick94GSR This is true but I try to practice when I can approaching red lights, etc. Even so, rev matching this car is tough at lower revs in lower gears
Try it with the power button on. Much easier.
Scott Grande I have a B7 RS4 and I have the same experience. The RS4 has a sport button which makes it easier but also makes it difficult to drive smoothly around town.
How come out of all the exhausts you always fail to mention Supersprint? I think you can find your happy medium with one of their set-ups.
Do a carbon airbox! Karbonius carbon manifold is EXACTLY what you need for induction noise heaven! :)
And don't sell this car. It's absolutely perfect! @obsessed garage
I realize your tendency to maybe over-research most topics, but I hope you haven’t missed the Öhlins R&T in your suspension considerations. It is superior to the Dinan stuff, good as it may be, in every way I can think of. Dinan stuff is great, especially when under factory warranty. But Dinan is an engine tuner whereas Öhlins does suspension. In its price range/category, nothing really touches that Öhlins DFV for a trackable road car.
Nitrons are pretty good too and you can custom built it with your own specs and needs. He had Öhlins R&T on the Honda S2000.
I didn’t really watch the S2K stuff. So he has experience with the DFV then.
You are missing the retention of EDC. Also, my wager is that Dinan has done quite a bit more testing on suspension set-up on this particular car than any broad coilover offering, Ohlins included.
The problem here is that I commented before I watched the whole video. Egg on my face.
Build it and they will come..
I would like to see you go for a ride on Adam's 335i single turbo
I will soon. We are putting Sonic Cabinets in his HQ next week.
@@ObsessedGarage Great can't wait.
I've driven bmw's in the past, I think the gt350 is so much more better. The get the BMW interior , with some mods you can definitely make the gt350 better.
Electric exhaust cutout for when you want to really scream?
What’s doing it for you in that M3 Matt? That v8s sound ? Perfect daily ? I didn’t think the age of it would keep it in your garage for long lol.
All of the above.
How important is changing transmission fluid on a daily driver? My dealership always brings it up.
Bill K how often is always? Every 30k-50k is probably fine unless the manufacturer says otherwise.
Doing it at 30k is a waste of money. Every 75-100k and is more worthwhile. Shmucks.
Don't know exactly how important but I did it at 63K after owning it since 55K, tranny oil looked very used and shift felt better, diff fluid looked fine, did it again at 102K, same thing, so can't hurt, it's not expensive, get fluids yourself and find an indy shop. I found the car really likes new plugs, probably will do every 20-25K now, at 120K now gotta think doing the bearings
Is this your tuned M3 with aftermarket exhaust?
Yes, ESS Tune, Dinan Middle Racing and Rear Section
Why don’t you have window tint? I can’t stand not having any at all
It is tinted, but I'll likely redo it. I haven't had the car very long.
Oh okay, I understand. What % are you gonna do? I’d do 10 or 15 on the side windows and back glass and the windshield 50% personally. Love the channel btw and plan on buying some of your stuff soon.
I'll do Formula One Pinnacle 20% on the sides and rear and Llumar AirBlue80 on the entire windshield. Those lower numbers of too dark to function well at night. I've gone that dark before, but it's not practical.
Obsessed Garage that’s true, I’m glad I went with 20. Sounds good, I can’t wait to see what all is in store for this car
what solution ? a track? :P
Would you build a track on the land or a drift pad?
Adib Ahmadzadegan zoning probably wouldn’t allow a track. Neighbors would protest it for sure.
Ha, ha... No to both of those.
Dang was hoping for a M3 sound clip on intro...
hey matt, what microphone are you using?
amzn.to/2zwAJGj
Thanks! I’m trying to get some videos with the windows slightly down without getting bad wind noise and my current mic is not working with any wind noise. Do you use a fuzzy on yours? Can’t really tell because I’m watching on my phone so it’s small to see.
Short shifter guy is Ronald from auto Solutions.
That's the one.
I like this car e90 and e90
Your car being catless has no effect on the environment in the big picture, no need to feel bad. Gotta make China and India feel bad
ipe f1 exhaust. nothing better.
Ha, ha... iPE is junk bro. Everything is better.
Obsessed Garage Motor Sports Park???
wheres all the twisties matt!?
Ha... Not around here.
Who else misses the sound of the GT350?
Agree with you! I've had a few beemers and I just traded my Porsche for the GT350. I added the Corsa resonator delete.. it's pretty much perfection. Granted, the interior isn't quite on par.. but otherwise; honestly, can't look back.
Agreed! Love the sound of my gt350. Thats what originally brought me to OG channel.
I don’t miss it. I hear it everyday? Love that car. Got a magnetic grey with stripe delete just like Matt had. Started watching and got hooked on the channel watching Shelby content. Smart of him buying and building new cars. It probably brings inaa whole new audience every time.
You can see it on adam lz’s channel he bought it
Dan Coyne go watch adam lz hes got it along with a bunch of other sick cars
This pursuit of idk what that’s me I keep switching cars :(
