@BEARD GANG!! Yes, Kia is a heavy brick compared to the S5. Personally I think it's more of a competitor to the BMW 6 series and the Audi A7 as it also reaches a weight of around 1800-1900kg and about the same size.
@BEARD GANG!! S7... dude, I was talking about 640i or 3.0 TFSI. You can literally buy two Stingers for the price of an S7, and the interior of a Kia is really good for a brand that isn't "premium". The Koreans are on the way up, with the help of a German designer, 5-7 years of warranty and reliability that's equal to Toyotas and Hondas.
I have owned E46, ordinary sedan with 2.0L engine and I have to admit it was a really nice car to drive. Sometimes when I see some E46 on the street I start to think about buying it again. Lovely car.

Even on paper the RS4 does this in 13.2secs. And why the hell he left the ESP on ?!? In this generation of RS it cuts the throttle if it senses wheelspin and you can clearly see that in the acceleration. The proper way to launch this is ESP off, build the revs to around 4000 and drop the clutch. I see a lot of noobish mistakes lately on this channel. If you're going to do a test, then do it the proper way with proper drivers or at least with people familiar with the selected car.
Timevolent Is back except it isn’t. It’s slower, the gear change is appalling, the electronics etc are basic. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, but aside from exhaust note the new cars are better machines in every single way. The older car is no doubt more rewarding to drive because of its relative simplicity but it’s not a better car. No older car is better than newer versions, that’s bullshitism and delusion based on ignorance. 99.9% of people claiming the CSL is the best M car ever made haven’t even sat in one, let owned and driven one.

Need more reviews for the E46 M3 CSL
I agree completly... BMW M3 E46 is on the top of period of the sportcars history. Even if new cars are faster and 'better', this 3th generation of M3 is for me one of the well known old school cars,like the que Evo VIII, C63 AMG, S2000 or 350Z.(And the best, I'm one lucky owner of such a M3 ;) )
Like a lot this channel,great job thanks carwow
Rs4 is biturbo v6 m3 is straight 6 bimer power no nitro no turbo simple m-power

Lighter rear drive nd heavy all wheel drive ...interesting video Great carWow
Limo vs fart can
Legend in two manufacture.
But is this only me? BMW sounds bad.... is it my fault?
Wafi 31 yeah, it does sound weird. Not my favorite noise, but some people seem to like tinny exhaust sounds.
@@kangvp9512 it doesn't have fake sound like the M4, but it rattles too much imo
I don’t hate it but.. I prefer the sound of Audi’s 2.7t better (aftermarket exhaust)
@@hdjdhdurmom2985 I didn't say it's fake. I said it's tinny. Like a sewer pipe shaking. At least it's not a leaf blower (ahem Audi).
@@wafi3187 both sound pretty terrible. We all know the best exhaust noises come from V8 engines.
I hate audi but the driver of this audi is to move and change gears can not do it correctly. The race looks like an inexperienced driver sitting behind the wheel of an audi.
The E46 M3 is the best model that BMW has ever produced, the design is over 20 years old and it still looks fantastic and performs brilliantly.
Matt the type of guy to kiss ur steering wheel
Looking at the number of likes vs dislikes, I already knew the BMW was going to win.
What's csl mean?
My old RS4 would of toasted the BM. Clocked at Inters 0-60: 3.4 secs 1/4 mile 11.98
Lol
Seems pretty slow for an RS 4...
Spirited Driver the m3 is just very fast :p
@@PaulBroere lol, I was trying to avoid saying the older M3's are not fast for drag racing. My 135i is a lot quicker.
Best m3 ever made sound is epic
Imagine a BMW M3 GTR :O
Forget your pops and bangs that m3 just sounds incredible.
PURE ADDICTION
BMW wins agaim, expected.
I'm 16 from Germany and a Jamiroquai and BMW fan. My favourite is the old 850csi and the e46 M3
MORE VIDEOS WITH CSL!!!!
Shocking drive by the Audi driver, appalling launch. You saw how close it was between them on the rolling start and that Audi is way quicker off the mark when driven properly.
I could do much better then that in the RS4.
Shockingly awful driving. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
