Wonderful video. I always said around me that e9x v8 M3 was not a proper sport car but an amazing GT with a wonderful handling and sounding experience.

Downshifting and reving that beast is just a dream... 😍🥰 So happy to own one!!

Hi Sal I have my E93 M3 since 2011 I totally agree with everything you say I only use mine on the weekends and it has only 65000km on it I’m from South Africa This is the best E93 M3 review I have seen
Thank you for the comment! I made a follow up review video since a lot has changed from when this video was uploaded: th-cam.com/video/HJxlOdbIFhA/w-d-xo.html
That is my dream car.. in my country right now a e93 M3 coasts 60.000k.. I hope one day i get one of this.. unicorn.. That is a beast.. a beauty.. Congrats dude..
very nice car! I recently bought F82 M4 and I'm looking to get e92 or e93 m3 as second car like project.. I think under 20k i think i can find one.. just like yours! i love the car
Thanks! There are some great deals for the e93 since it is less desirable than the e92 M3. So far we are very happy with the hard top convertible and the sound is intoxicating. Good luck with your search 👍
The convertible top hinges need to be maintained to keep from creeking. If u grease or lube the hinges all those noises will stop. This needs to be done once a year. Just youtube it for instructional vids.
Thanks for the comment. I did lube and maintain the seals and hinges with Gummi Phledge rubber care and quality grease. I’ll need to take apart the roof liner and find the source of some of my rattles soon. Thanks again for the suggestion.
Nice video. I'm looking at a six speed manual transmission 2008 convertible. Is your exhaust stock? How is your roof doing? I had a 2016 F83 6MT and the roof was the first thing to go at the four year ish mark. A few months after the warranty ended.
Don't change! But if u did go for a M6 stage 2 tune gives you 700BHP. Or a carbon firber roof M4 1467KG light as hell very quick. It does snap on you though but you get plenty of warning before it does.
Brought the missus one she loves it❤️ You have edc? Of course on terrible roads it means nothing, but i find it quite comfy most of the time, and I love the feel of the seats, suspension and steering hunkering down and stiffening up when you push “that” button and give it the beans Great car we’ll be keeping it for quite a while. 10spg? Wow I thought the missus 13/14spg was a bit strong, I’ll stop with the heavy foot jokes and just smile Great vid 👍👍
Hahah yea heavy foot doesn’t help MPG but does improve smiles per gallon 😆 Also I do have EDC option, but my suspension is old and worn so it may not be as comfortable as your car. Good points, the leather in these seats is top notch! Glad to hear from more E93 convertible owners out there. Enjoy! 😊

Lmk I’m about to buy one doing all my research awesome video man ! Try out a Porsche macan turbo I own 2 of them it’s on top gear vs a m2 you will be surprised
I just got a 2013 model. The 'knock' on this model is that it's heavier and, therefore, not as 'performant'. OK. How often am I able to push its performance? Not often. How often do I put the top down and listen to that engine? Every time!! So I'm told I gave up a bit of performance for sun, wind, and fun...I'll take that all day :)
@@Sals_Garage I think it might be a factor of their value over time. People get less interested in 'old track cars' because there's newer and better. The E93 M3 is rarer and maintains the everyday fun - plus few are tracked.
Thanks for the comment! The car is running an OEM muffler mod, stock X-pipe with flowmaster resonators replacing the secondary cats, and lastly catless test pipes.

What you expect when you drive an M car everything is expensive fill good about it not everyone gets to experience that I love mine and there is no cons
Thanks for a nice video! How many mm lower is your car back and front and spacers front/rear? I have a e93 (2012) back here in Sweden and would like to get the same height and width. I will use the standard wheels though. BR Anders
Hi! I used H&R lowering springs which lowers the rear 0.6 inches and the front 1 inch. Front wheel spacers are 20 mm and rear wheel spacers are 12 mm. I used this setup with stock wheels as well, no rubbing.
I’ll be making a reliability video soon, but so far very good. I have done rod bearings, throttle actuators, starter, and alternator so far. Injectors were also replaced preemptively. I have videos for all those 👍
You can't equate a BMW to a typical car. Its designed to be leased, not owned, as leasing is 80% of their market. That means they are literally designed to fail after the first renter. The crazy weight is due to the massive X straps slapped on the bottom when the roof was chopped off. Bad design by bad engineers. Horrible, even. The suspension is broken, not stiff. The DCT was cancelled by BMW for the same reason all DCTs are disappearing. Ford just lost a law suit, requiring them to buy back every DCT car they've sold. DCTs are fragile, so fragile, they are essentially all defective out of the box.
I have owned 5 BMWs with mileage ranging from 60k-120k. They all had small issues that were fairly simple to fix myself. I respect anyone who wants to own or lease these cars. Preferably, I would rather save money by buying used.
@@Sals_Garage I've owned 5 too. There's a reason they're super cheap used cars. The market is telling you what's about to happen. Best of luck, though.
@@FFE-js2zp Thanks. I understand why they are priced cheap. That is where research and maintenance come into play. I do all my own repairs and have the necessary tools to work on these cars so it would be vastly different for another person of course.
Dude, read your book first before publishing your biased comments. If the DCT is badly designed than tell me why Ferrari has used the F1 transmission from 355 all the way up to today's SF90? The earlier F1 is basically H-pattern box with actuators and it is considered to be a manual transmission, same transmission as the three pedal Ferraris, with electro-hydraulic actuation of the gear shift and clutch actuation. The goal is to help drivers shifting faster and spend more time on the upcoming turns, so that we too can be like racecar drivers. DCTs are not fragile by default, they are fragile because of the high performance gear shifting used by the drivers after certain period of time. You need to replace the clutch and other component and it is the price you pay for owning cars like M3 DCT or F355 F1. There are still many high performance cars with DCTs being made as we speak, they might be upgraded with dual clutch but the principle is the same. You don't have to like the DCT but please don't make a personal conclusion based on your terrible experience.

@@FFE-js2zp Thanks. I understand why they are priced cheap. That is where research and maintenance come into play. I do all my own repairs and have the necessary tools to work on these cars so it would be vastly different for another person of course.
Dude, read your book first before publishing your biased comments. If the DCT is badly designed than tell me why Ferrari has used the F1 transmission from 355 all the way up to today's SF90? The earlier F1 is basically H-pattern box with actuators and it is considered to be a manual transmission, same transmission as the three pedal Ferraris, with electro-hydraulic actuation of the gear shift and clutch actuation. The goal is to help drivers shifting faster and spend more time on the upcoming turns, so that we too can be like racecar drivers. DCTs are not fragile by default, they are fragile because of the high performance gear shifting used by the drivers after certain period of time. You need to replace the clutch and other component and it is the price you pay for owning cars like M3 DCT or F355 F1. There are still many high performance cars with DCTs being made as we speak, they might be upgraded with dual clutch but the principle is the same. You don't have to like the DCT but please don't make a personal conclusion based on your terrible experience.
@@CarlsGarage1 Carl, thank you for dropping some serious knowledge! I learned a few new things just from your comment alone. Impressive
