The E46 M3 is better on paper.
But we don't drive on paper. :) You be you, Alex. I think it's a brilliant car.
Erik Warnes I agree
I do
Good ol Colin the M3
Top name.
love the videos colin
+Car Throttle yesss
Oh hai
+Busqui48 just painting the 360 swing (check the latest video for that to make sense)
E36 coupé is a masterpiece of design.
i like the mercedes 190 TD better. :)
I have one I wholeheartedly agree
masterpiece of aesthetics yes, design, no its a horrid design, rusts easily, leaks easily, radiator hoses have plastic clips that turn brittle with age and suddenly pop off and blow your engine to name a few, design wise its a nightmare, but damn it looks good and has great performance
Fu@king dumbster
yes...but the others are very good lookin too...i have a touring with nice style 24 rims and bilstein suspension and she looks veeery nice...the cabrio e36 is awesome too..the sedan is nice...there is no ugly e36 in my opinion
alex is a simple man, he sees something beaten up and rusty he buys it
+Motors Unite just joking man, not for real
His car is far from beaten and rusty.
He is the one guy who forgets about supercars
Shadow Gamer yt
*facepalm* people buy these because they are cheap and fun, not annoying and expensive
Chris Simpson hahahaahha
Dont worry a about the blinker falling of, dont need that anyways on ur bmw ayyy
ahahahah true
im fuckin ded
He drained his Blinker fluit Thats why its broken
How original....
+Niall I don't think you understand haha. They literally do just fall off! Hahahah
5 Reasons I Came Up With to Help Myself Sleep at Night.
Haha good one.
this is too true. :D
but the e36 has better stearing
I can imagine alex, pondering in his bedroom, man should have bought the e46 lol
The E36 probably better spelling than you. xD btw it is 'steering'
Next Week: 15 Reasons Why he should have bought an E46 M3.
difference in sound is undeniable
6. You scared that Adnan would be angry if you copied him.....
Who wants to bet he'll now go out and buy a rusty R32 GT-R...?
+Adnan Ebrahim Wag wan akh
WHAT!!!!!!!!!! REALLY????????
+Adnan Ebrahim it could be worse, he could buy another rusty mx5
+Adnan Ebrahim as long as it's not another overly hyped mx5 lol
Great reasons to pick the e36 Alex, and the sound note is beautiful
Finished the review went straight to look at prices
how much is it? the average price?
Same here :)
***** great point!
+d e c i b e l if you want a REALLY nice one in my country the will cost around 20'000 pounds
better than current top gear, just saying.
I have been watching some old Top Gear episoded
The memories... D:
*episodes
the Supersprint race exhaust is the best sounding exhaust on the market for the E36M3
great choice!!!
greetings from Germany
i suck ass, i hope this will get lost in the comments
Lol
Sorry bro, your comments number one 😱
how can you do that?
Miguel Arellano wrong idiot
けつを食べる
I've got a E36 B6 Alpina coming up on my channel Alex, right up your street ✌
No worries here with the 240hp m3 in the US. We LS swap everything 😂
Lol
As the lord intended lol
You may ls swap that, doesnt gonna make it a better handeling car
Who else is watching in black socks?
what else would i wear to this channel?
stfu
No socks. It's summer.
oh shit
fresh outta the shower, naked with black socks on. get to business
1:45 litteraly every car in Gran Turismo 1-5.
The E36 just looks fuckin beautiful
the e30 tho what a stunner
kieran simpson
I like the E30, just prefer the 36
By far the style I miss the most on BMW after E30 of course
In term of look, i like the E36 and E92 best.
I really admire this guy's passion for his car. He has got the patience to deal with problems after problems. He accepts that his M3 isn't perfect but still love it for the way it is. He is a good inspiration to many.
alex I love the vids man...keep them going!! its really been way to long since I felt such excitement for a new vid and car throttle+ e36 m3 is the perfect recipe!!
With that exhaust, the car sounds a bit like an rb26
The sound of individual throttle bodies
I disagree
My top favorite cars:
1.Mazda Miata NA
2.Nissan 180SX/240SX
3.Nissan Sileighty
4.BMW M3 E46
5.BMW M3 E36

This top is not in order to worst-best
You’ve got a terrible taste in cars
@@gregmayled what's wrong with the list
Yeahh Boii not enough Lamborghinis and ferraris apparently
don't ever quit youtube, man! love your videos!
First 1 minute and 30 sec was the only bit of this video that should make everyone satisfied.. You do what ever the hell you want! Keep doing what you are doing, it..is..awesome!
Last time i was this early the Kardashians weren't a thing.
L
+Olive Flute give ya meat a good ol rub
Travi$ hehe boii
they still aren't
Sadly they are.
Rusty...looks clean af. e36 is beast everyone knows. Still in love with my M3, every time I see it I think, "God DAMN thats a sexy car"
One of the best videos you guys have made in a while! Great work lads
Glad to see you did this video. You've got some explaining to do.
Nice Video! I'm in the U.S. and drive and E36 M3 sedan 5 speed. While it only has ~250hp it is an awesome car to drive and is a nice looking car. When I purchased it I considered the E46, but I was not willing to risk living w potential frame damage common on the E46. Currently the price of the E46 and the E36 in the U.S. are about the same.
The door handle cover falling is so accurate 😂
Seriously LOVE these E36 videos!!
Just when u revved the e36 one drove by where i was sitting. Love that sound. S50 in a E30 is the dream.
I'm taking my E36 M3 coupe to the Nurburgring this August bank holiday, you should take yours there and do a video. I like these vids as mine is also a 3.2 evo coupe in estoril blue!!
Reason #6 you didn't have enough cash to buy an e46 m3
This is a high-budget web series sponsored by a large business. Are you thick?
+HazardousFromage Colin is a rusty e36 m3 not a clean low mile e46 m3 their is a huge price gab their
He said they were equally priced.
+jospi2 remember he has the m3 Evo 2 not the standard m3 it would be like a m3 csl
No, this is just the later model 3.2, the earlier ones were the 3.0 with less hp. Mike Arredondo
very enjoyable video thanks
One of the best channels for car enthusiasts.
I love my US e36 M3 coupe. You nailed a lot of reasons, styling being the biggest. The e36 looks so cool and the e46 looks like a bar of soap.
I also much prefer the e36 interior, it feels ergonomically perfect and they don't wear as poorly as e46 interiors which all feel cheap to me.
The e36 also a bit more raw and exciting to drive, the lack of refinement makes it more visceral. I have driven a few e46 M3s, they are great cars and do perform better. However my heart gets pulled toward the e36 every time.
Bar of soap lol
Both are lovely cars and every M3 is unique and gorgeous,but i prefer the E46 among all of them.I like each detail on that car!
i swear CT is the new Top Gear, you guys do a great job !
I couldn't agree more Alex, I love the E36 chassis my godfather owned a '98 5 speed manual Alpine white E36 M3 coupe on LTW wheels just like yours for about 10 years and I fell in love with it, he just recently sold it and is planning buying an E90 M3. For my first car I just recently bought a '98 5 speed E36 328i sedan with the optinal sport package from the factory and I couldn't be happier it's so torquey that it will throw me back in 1st, 2nd and alittle in 3rd, I have even done some roll races from 35mph *in Mexico* with my good friends stock Subaru 2004 WRX that has a 5 speed manual and I kept up right along side of him. E36 gang forever!
Throw a turbo and you will be burning unicorns, mixed with E85 petrol, will be reliable power. (your 91 octane gas is piss)
E36 M3 is my favorite BMW
The sound of the M3 E46 you made was amazing!!!! I am still laughing!!!!!!
You nailed the E46 M3 impression.
I know this video is old but. Man it's good and the funny bits are awesome!
Touring looks awesome? Did I just hear that?
Well it does
i have one for that reason,
but it`s only a 328i.
The e34 touring is THE one and only one e34!
I mean, look at that beauty!
I love them!
Too bad they do not sell them down here anymore, horrible SUVs took over.
Touring looks way better than compact for sure lol
Please make a review of all generations of M5 !!
That exhaust note is gorgeous
Great impression of an E46, I’ve never thought they sounded good. Your E36 sounds great with the super sprint.
When I was in high school E36 was my all time favorite car... dream car !
I actually never had it, now I have E34 and I think E36 is already smaller for me.
I have big plans for E34 now. But maybe, someday, I will own E36
kolko li kosta e36 m3
u Srbiji, na polovniautomobili.com sam video par za oko 5-6 hiljada ekica
Emir Hamidović ja nigde nmg da nadjem e36 de si ga ti video
I recently bought an e46 m3, i wanted an e36 m3 , I couldn’t find tidy one in my price range.
I also however much prefer e36 m3 over the e46 just because of the looks.
I really love how many BMW videos you guys make
love the videos contents, well impressed, keep it my friend
E46 is way better. Have had them both and the E46 has much better build quality imo
my e36 m3 evo pisses all over s E46 m3
"Better build quality"
*Cries in rear sub frame flaw
*cries in broken rod bearings
-Every e46 m3 owners
The e46 is a newer car??!! Fool
@@franticfrancis9710 what are you on about??
you need an MCM style battle, colin vs phil :D
OMG! E36 M3 Turing looks AMAZING!
i love the e36. i loved e36 when i was only 5 years old and i will love it forever. nice car, alex. you are awesome.
That E36 sound made me have an eargasm.
"Weight reduction"
*puts pieces in the car xD
that noise is none another than amazing
What any e36 desperately needs is a quicker steering rack. Get one from the late e46 330i or Z4 M, swap it in (it's plug&play btw), get a good alignment then witness the biggest transformation of your car. It sharpens everything and it makes the car feel lighter and somehow younger without losing that driving feel that makes e36s great.
Alex, you do realise your driver's side front wing is aftermarket? Look at the placement of the indicator on both sides. On the passenger side, it's against the wheel (correct), on the driver's side, it's against the door. It's clearly visible in this vid. I've seen this more than once.
Nice spot, mate! Now it annoys me seeing it in that awkward position :)
+Mzn T sorry!
wow how did you notice that O.o
+Yuchigo3 well, as mentioned in my first comment: I've seen this so many times, it's something I automatically check for. Just as pre-facelift models with the old side indicators, many have left/right switched. Then they are mounted upsidedown.

Brb, gotta check my car.
What do you know? A ginger BMW driver is actually a likeable chap
heh
Two negatives make a positive
As a ginger and former BMW driver... here's my upvote
:) I recently bought an E36 328 Sport (Manual)..... on the weekend I saw a guy in an identical Silver P reg all but the rear spoiler of which I do not have.... smiles all round. Whilst there are a lot more 328's around, manuals and ones which have not been abused to death are getting rare....
I only just saw I've of these today driving out of my school. It was a cabriolet and looked really good.
I don't understand everyone's obsession with station wagons.
their engines maybe? how about nissan stagea wich is a much affordable nissan gt-r engine , and even have better aerodynamics
+Fabian Perez I'm talking about the design and not about any of the engines or cars.
for me, it was the cheaper insurance. back in the day i bought a wrx estate and the coverage was $800 cheaper than the sedan. and i can carry more.
+fabulousprofound pretty good reason but there are people that seem to think they are the best design for some reason. Tbh id prefer a coupe version.
but then again as alex said ''personal choice'' , i personally like the sedan E36
Just be honest, it was cheaper and you're hoping the value will go up.
Hahahau :D :D
I saw one on the weekend and it made me smile
My dad had the saloon E36 M3. I remember he loved it to bits. I did love it to. Especialy during "sporty rides" as he called them. I cried when he sold it to buy a bigger "family car". Even though it was brand new at the time and everone else thought it was cool, that M3 left a void in my heart. Now I realise that I want one. Shit...
I know y u named Phil and Colin cuz together it can make Phil Collins
Bam
the E36 is more manly
no
They are both a perfect mix of any fucking gender, and they are both SERIOUSLY BAD ASS!
chad alert
Makes no sense
I made the same decision last year, I do know the e46 m3's are awesome - but my 2 reasons (outside of your correct looks and noise reasons!) were 1. replacement parts - for the e36 M3, although rare in full car form, parts are a plenty and SOOOOO much cheaper than the e46 M3. And - 2. Classic car insurance!!! Mine is a 1995 s50b30 - and I pay £198 full comp a year!!! Who doesn't love that??? Also, mine is black, which, sorry is the only colour to have your M3 (Sorry Colin!) - if White is not your 1st choice... White of course is the best of all - especially in e30 / e36 guise...
That touring is sweet!

It's kinda like my Mitsubishi cordia in Malaysia there are 4 of em on the road(I guess according to jpj(Malaysian dmv) out of the 721 cordias imported here only 4 are registered and with live owners 10 of em with dead owners 459 crushed and the rest were imported back to Japan in 1998 (these cars were taken by the government) it is almost impossible to see one on the road (except mine I drive it everyday)
Also one more thing value has gone up 7 times what I payed for it
+Christopher Lim Xian Da and I think that's kinda beautiful.. A car that wasn't meant to be saved. And hey you don't a crazy amount of horsepower to have fun. I have 122 but I have more fun than people in BMW M3s. The E96 once.
+Christopher Lim Xian Da the 1988 Jdm gsr-s is a car (what you people think) should be saved as it's got a turbo lan evo engine and AWD but hey it looks the same as a trueno and levin (without an iron mask!grille like on a skyline rsx turbo c)because they were not much different plus Corollas were meant to treated like shit and scrapped it was only saved by initial d otherwise nobody would have known about it either as it looks like your typical Jdm hatchback with pop up headlights and the one with fixed ones looks like crap. I only like the trueno because I like pop up headlights otherwise I wouldn't care about it because you can get faster (or similar powered)70s cars with rear wheel drive for cheaper and it would not be wedge shaped(it was an 80s thing) while being lighter.
+never go full Pony that's so true as I recently got rid of my old z3 m roadster as it was shit and a ladies car it had 22s lowered hell I don't care about horsepower it felt slow as hell my cordia barely beat it in a 1/4 mile which was unsurprising as it weighed 946 kilos and I tuned the single carbed engine to 140hp and it has an 8 speed(no shit! It's stock too, it's called a super shift). While the m roadster I got was converted into a 6 speed auto and with all this rice crap giving it an am extra 200kilos in weight (there was more mods I just didn't mention it)
+Razer Blade mine is something that has to be sad. Mitsubishi carisma dynamics. Ever heard of this car? Me neither until I saw it
Well, these E36s are really awesome! I have a '96 328i saloon with manual transmission (German Spec, living in Brazil), used to be a garage queen. I have the car for about one year and a half, put 8,000 miles on it and now the car has 42,000 miles (67.000 Km). It rides like a new car, just refreshed suspension, brakes and cooling. It's awesome, even being 20 years old now (almos my age!). Keep your E36 M3 Evo for life, Alex! You are annoying, but we can pretty much ignore that if you keep loving your M3! Cheers
with you on the looks of the e36, I love looking at my E36is....yes no m3 but it'll shift and put a smile on your face 😀
This video should've been ten seconds...
"I bought an E36 instead because I made a mistake."
Roll credits.
I do not think you need to change the blinker fluid on the e36 m3 ?
it's a bimmer you don't use the turn signals
"...because it just never works" - ChrisFix
jerairkilla beamer *
I just bought a E36 325is and the car is super fun, I really want a M3 but here in Brazil is hard to find any M3 and wen you find one it is really expensive. But anyways even a 2.5L is a lot of fun
Totally agree on the noise front, I love I6's but hate the raspiness of the E46 M3
the sound alone is reason enough to get a e36 m3 and not a e46.
With the Sprinter Exhaust makes it sound sooo good.
***** I guess I could check out your channel
+Motors Unite kinda an audiophile so I should be good
The reason why that e46 in the video sounded raspy and metallic is because it had the Y-resonator removed.
@@Phae576 all e46 m3 sound shit and have rasp
Colin the M3 > Phil the MX-5
This video convinced me to subscribe. I like your thinking!
I agree, I like the e36 more. Its a classic! And the handling is great!
Never fist your car kids
I liked the 36 sedan way better than the e46. It just feels way better to me.
I had two by the way. I now own an e90 335i.
I honestly love the E36 saloon. My best version of the car personally and it also used to be on my road by a neighbour of mines. Its not there now but I regret not talking about the car when it was there
That touring looks absolutely stunning I wish they were actually made
I miss the old car throttle. I feel like they've forgotten who there are
+Grant Pollock Yes we've forgotten exactly who were are... #GrammarPoliceLockThisGuyUp
+Car Throttle lmao
Car Throttle strikes again
you forgot to mention the e36 compact
SADFACE :(
Their website is flopping as well right now
E46 m3 any day over the e36....not even comparable!!
e46 is a pos
+Euphorica lol good joke
The e46 is my least favorite actually I like the e36, e30, e90 then e46. I just dont like any of them past that.
Great joke.
It's a joke right?
I have an e46 M3. Would never drive different. It’s perfect
Don't worry, I did the same. I paid a premium for a 37k mile 1999 M3 in Estoril (US Spec) over the E46 which I could have easily bought for the same money or less because of 2 things; 1. this was the car that I wanted in high school that got me into the brand 2. I have not seen another around in as good of condition. E46s are all over the place in the US.
Haha I love your channel man, I don't know much about cars but I'm trying to learn a lot. I drive a '97 corolla but I hope I can buy a newer car soon. Also, greetings from Nicaragua.
I still prefer the e36 over the e46 it just looks so clean to me the e46 is a little ugly to me
I dont understand the fixation of wagons, WHY DO SO MANY CAR GUYS LIKE WAGONS?
why not?
a wagon has the same footprint of a sedan with added cargo space and what some consider improved looks. BMWs are always 50-50 weight distribution so added weight is the only negative if any
because wagon
and by the added material on a wagon, you have more car,
because it is just more of it there.
every car guy is happy when he has more car
if you want more of it go buy a truck
a truck has way more material than a car
go ahead why are you still here?
I was smiling all the time watching this video. I have e36 323i coupe and will never ever sell it. This car has a soul.
I think that e36 estate while sill green was my background on my desktop when i worked at bmw!
The biggest and only reason why you got an e36: MONEY
did you not hear him say the e43 m3 costs just about the same?
Right not another reason
They are around the same prices now as crazy as it sounds.
selig stoney
i would take the m3 e46
they do not cost the "about the same", I own both. Maybe for a huge pile of shit e46 M3 and a nicer e36 M3 you can get close.
Older cars often give you a better driver experience as there are less electronic Aids and are lighter. I have a Clio sport 172 and it virtually has no aids at all and is really light, admitted its as reliable as something which is not very reliable. I would guess everyone who watches this video loves cars and would love some advice and not sure where else or how to reach out to them (sorry carthrottle) but would people give me some feedback on my channel, put some comments on my channel trailer. I'm spending hundreds a month and struggling with subscribers , thank you
love this video
This video just made my day ! Awesome man ! 👍🔛🔝
