- A few weeks ago I tested 2 of BMW's finest in a showdown head to head at one of the finest circuits in Wales. Which one drives better, which one is faster, which one drifts best? This was a lot of fun!

This was so much fun. Which BMW unicorn would you drive home? 👇
M4 so can daily it. Think the M3 as a daily is a bit too hardcore!
I know M4 CSL can daily it better than M3 GTS and also out do the M3 GTS! But would like to have M4 CSL OR M3 GTS?!
m3 gts all day
The M3 looks so much better and if you really care about track times, you can always improve the brakes and tighten the gap. Personally, I couldn't care less, I just love the sound of that V8.
M3....that engine is glorious
the cinematography and driving were both incredible. please more of these types of vids!
Glad you enjoyed it! Another video on the way soon.
Love the fact that you show the full laps, allows us to get a real feel for how the cars perform, thanks to you all.
Had to be done on this channel - I know my audience wants to see driving!
I understand now why the Stig was kept silent. His skills as a presenter for sure outshine the other 3. We need more of this quality content. Great job Ben
Nonsense. There was no beating the other three. This guy is great, but I wouldn’t swap Jeremy Richard or James for him, they were the perfect trio.
@@ESKATEUK Completely different styles. Ben provides you with more information about the car and how it drives than the other 3 combined. Also has more driving talent than the other 3 combined. The other 3 were more entertaining though.
The more you start looking around, the more you keep coming back to an M3. Just ticks so many boxes. Good to see Ben indulging his techy side and sharing thoughts through history
M3's are just king. And with a V8....
@@BenCollinsDrives I'm a bit upset that there was no mention of the E46 M3 GTR, as actually being the first M3 with a V8, but that one is such an unicorn, that I'm hardly surprised, despite that, it's one absolutely beautiful piece of engineering and it was the predecessor of the M3 GTS.
@@legend131000 Why would you mention a car that basically don't exist especially when there are 0 tests/reviews or really anything to know how it drives other than the actuall racecar
@@Fearzzy Since it's BMW's first attempt of putting a V8 in an M3.
@@legend131000 then u should also mention their other GT3 cars when mentioning any M model, it's just not the same car.
Ben you’re driving skills are that good people fail to realise how good of a host and commentator you actually are. And to think they had you not say a word for 7 years!! Great content mate
Appreciate it!
Seriously. That's exactly what I thought watching this. Wasted opportunity for TG. This is incredible. Do one with an M2CS vs M5CS please?
That part. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The shot of the E92 sideways on a track is absolutely iconic. The M4 is a waggy tailed monster, both driven properly as intended, no collectables in this video. Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! The camera team had a great time too filming this one.
there is nothing wrong with collecting a car. If you want a car to last u dont take it to a track
Fantastic video Ben ! For me it’s got to be the E92. That V8 growl does it for me 😃👌🏼
Good choice!
E92 all the way. That engine has a magic to it that no turbo car can have, much like a Porsche GT3 4.0L
Ditto!
a m440i is faster than the e92 m3
@@irs4486 So? And it's only the 4wd version is faster to 60 (and marginally).
The e46 vs e92 comments are absolutely spot on, Ben! Glad to hear that opinion voiced openly. Having owned an e46 CS and an e90 in the past and it was night and day between them. Even compared to the "sharper" CS, the standard e90 was the sharper tool - measurably more composed and predictable at speed and over rough B roads.
go old!that GTS is amazing. love this shootout.
How good is it?! Love the old Tango.
I know which one sounds better! That E92 is one of my favorite sounding V8’s of all time. Sooo classy and Motorsport-like.
No no, you aren't wrong. The E92 is a masterpiece.
The BBC guys really missed a trick by keeping you silent for so long, great to see you let loose! Its what we all want to see! PS love the techy details that other people skim over 👍🏻
Great choice.
That V8 in the E92 is so amazing
Next level engine.

That e92 is timeless!!!
Absolutely!

I’m a big fan of BMW and I completely agree with you about the E92! My favorite M3! What a time for BMW! An M3 with a V8 and an M5 with a V10!
An un-rivalled era.
Some says he doesn't like scaffolding
And that he likes to scare a larger number of passengers;
All we know is: he is the Ben Collins
This video has everything. Great cars, great commentary from someone incredibly knowledgeable, and fantastic filming & editing.
Absolutely loving your content, so glad you are doing these videos for us.
Glad you enjoyed it! Enjoyed making this one.
Had 2 e92s after my e46 m3. The dct e92 m3 is amazing. Such a pure , raw car
It’s hard to beat that V8 sound and performance - and no one proves it better than the Stig. Great work BC -
You're welcome!
The M3 GTS is timeless!
It’s always refreshing to see Ben Collins driving as himself, his words are more powerful than the Stig’s silence and he’s pretty fun too!
Glad you enjoy it!
Awesome video! Agree the E90/2 generation is among the top. The engine is a true work of art and was so much more advanced for its time relative to any engine at any price point!
Couldn't agree more.
Absolutely love that GTS M3. It’s my dream car. I’ll have to settle for my e92 335i for the time being, can only imagine how great that is to drive, thanks Mr Collins
My advice is sell your 335i and buy the best e92 m3 you can afford and slowly make it mint. It’s night and day from a 335i
My Dream Build is 120d converted E92 M3 running gear with the 1M Body Kit and a Carbon Roof and a Shorter Ratio Diff!!
Seen a few of these Conversions ( Apparently M Division built one but was put in Ice as it would take away from the M3) and would make for the Best M car BMW should have built!!
Has to be the E92 GTS All day long for me 10 plus years later and still stunning
She's a beaut.

This video is perfect. Ben's a one man Top Gear show, would someone give him a fully funded car show already? Can you imagine him with a couple of mates doing car travel challenges and such? I loved the joke of the Stig being silent, but getting to know Ben through these videos, I think of all the times on Top Gear it would have been great to hear his thoughts on a car he'd taken round the circuit rather than some quick hearsay from the presenters.
I'm also going to echo some other comments, thank you for showing the whole laps. The drifting at the end looked amazing. And honestly, I still love the Tango M3, even with it's ugly bars and bolt on looking spoiler, it's so sharp looking.
Appreciate all the kind words! More on the way soon.
V8 for sure. I have an E92 M3 since 10 years and still love it

I wish it's was the BMW M4 GTS instead of M3 GTS but anyway my choice will be the BMW M3 GTS! LOVE THE CAR!!! Though it's not the fastest in the track than the BMW M4 CSL! But still support the BMW M3 GTS!🔥🔥🔥
Great choice. Such a great car!

While the M4 might be the better car, my choice would be the M3. It still looks gorgeous to date while the M4 has a front end only a mother could love.
Something about the M3 isnt there.

That GTS is beautiful example, must be really looked after, I think in few years those will bring double the current price for sure
Thank you for this awesome content Ben!
Firstly, awesome content as usual. Secondly, great to see you reply to people in the comments!! So nice to see someone actually interacting with the viewer/subscriber. Well done Ben. Keep up the awesome job you are doing😎
Glad you're enjoying the content! Thanks for the kind words too. More on the way dude.
Superb on every regard! Keep it up!
Both such special cars, great driving and content. Keep up the good work!
Brilliant camera angles. Fantastic stuff
Now that’s what I call a review! Two points of improvement from me:
1) When doing the full lap I think we’d all prefer for there to be no background music
2) A full lap of drifting from the same perspective as the timed lap would be great
Keep it up 🫡
Appreciate the feedback.
First lap had no music, second lap had a bit of music - to keep things spicy.
Didn't do a full lap drifting! The first set of corners are the best for it (rest of the circuit is much faster, not good for initiating slides), so we sessioned that first section.
Also, we had 30 minutes to film the drifting segment so captured what we could...
Staying with the onboard for the whole hot lap would be nice too
@@BenCollinsDrives really impressed that you're reading/responding to these, thank you for the gorgeous content. I'd love to have you drive my e82 widebody track weapon sometime if you come to the states! Same dct but a little different v8... ls3 ♥
fabulous driving Ben! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Incredible film work, well done Ben 👍
amazing video, so glad you doing it Ben. keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
Great video. Had me thoroughly fixated throughout the running. Earned a sub, keep it up.
Brilliant video! It would have to be the E92 M3. It has enough performance for me, and when I get home I need a car I would always want to turn back for that last glance!
Good choice! Can't help but stare at the E92.
Amazing Video!!
Amazing video... The quality is exceptional
I just wish i could drive half as good as you, Ben. Stunning video!!
You were a Legend on Top Gear and now you're a Legend on your own on TH-cam
And now you're a legend in the comments.

@@Jerome-sd1el Mohammed raped a 9 year old girl. He was a p e d o phile
Excellent description of how the E92 was behaving, so many cannot verbalise the feeling and sensation off driving a well set up car and come up with some statements with no detail such as ‘amazing front end bite’ but then don’t tell you how that changes with weight transfer. Stumbled across your channel, keep them coming and please don’t focus on new cars they are quite dull in my opinion, more retro car comparisons would be great. 111R vs 4C, Sapphire Cosworth vs Impreza Turbo 2000, 996 Carrera 2 vs 996 C4S, E46 M3 CSL vs F80/82 M3/M4, Fiat Coupe Turbo 20v vs Alfa GTV V6 3.0, Mk1 Mx5 1.6 (the import Eunos model with lsd) vs 205 gti 1.6 etc etc
Agree 100%! 👍
So exciting to see you doing your own content! The enthusiasts are gonna love it and hopefully you can rope in some casual fans as well. Question/Idea: do you think at some point you'll bring in a co-host/guest to do some fun challenges with? I'm sure you have some racing buddies that have an itch for TH-cam celebrity. Either way can't wait to see what you do next!
Brilliant video! Thanks very much

This is what I always want Ben to be doing!! I LOVE it!
Love my E92 M3 owned it 8 years and will never sell never get bored of driving it
Never sell it!

Thanks for a fantastic vid Ben and the team. Really enjoyed the longer form of this one.
Keep up the great work👌
Welcome!
Ben has a way of making you feel like you're in the car itself. What a video this is
Awesome comparison, subbed
Quality video, enjoyed that thanks Ben

Happy to find your channel Sir 🙌🏽 Respect to my hero
What a great video Ben and team - well done!
Many thanks! We enjoyed making this one.
I absolutely adore my E92. The most communicative chassis and steering of any car I've owned or driven. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Agreed. BMW nailed the E92.
Ben you have such a natural style of presenting...really really easy and enjoyable to watch, also helps that you actually know what you are talking about when it comes to driving unlike some major youtubers out there. Great cinematography in this video as well. Hope that this channel gets the views that it deserves.
I appreciate that. Working on the numbers!
Loved this, really on point. Also quality editing and soundtrack. More of this please !
More to come! Glad you enjoyed it.
Mad respect for you Ben.
THIS should be the fastest growing car channel out there
Great video! Would be cool to see you test other youtubers cars on the track and give your honest feedback. Also the e92 made me think of the superchargerd one that was driven at the top gear festival in South Africa
Some peace of driving amazing
The editing, the jungle beats, sound effects, special effects and pure mechanical knowledge on display earned this channel a subscribe! Well done on marketing...etc.
Considering the CSL is the guts of a second quicker to 60mph and therefore gaining that second on the first straight, it shows how good the GTS is everywhere else on the track to only lose 2seconds on the total lap!!
Tyres + less weight!

I've always loved your driving style since I was a kid and fell in love with cars thanks to Top Gear and the guy in the white overalls, good luck with making more videos, stay tuned Ben!
The quality of vids are awesome. Thanks
Glad you like them! Loved making this.

Such great stuff, Ben. I know you've got to get tired of hearing this over and over, but this reminds me so much of the good old days of Top Gear automotive journalism when the boys would have head-to-head car shootouts. I really miss those days, and you're doing very well to keep that torch burning in its purest form.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great film! Thanks Ben and team for making that possible! I felt like I was really learning something about those cars. As much as I usually lean towards the older, more analog cars, the new M4 really is a beast! Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh the end is the best part!!! Thanks for all the drifts and drift shots!!!
No problem!! A lot of fun to film.

Great video as always Ben👍 The actual E92 M3 that blew you away all those years ago on Top Gear is still going strong and has been my pride and joy for the last 4 years. Couldn’t believe after I bought it and then watched the episode v RS4 and C63 and it was my car 😁 120k miles now and still amazing 👍 great at hitting apples on apex’s 🤪
Love the V8. Great video Mr Collins. Old school review. Much appreciated
TCS Off was so beautiful to watch. Thank you, Ben...
As a former E46 Comp owner, THANK YOU for your words about that car. Nobody else is saying it and everyone looks at me like I’m an idiot for not liking mine.
The newest gen M3/4 is by far my favorite. BMW nailed it in every way. Not liking the red pinstripes but they’re probably removable and if not I’d be happy with a base model as long as the paint is non-metallic.
I also way preferred the my e92 over my e46
Excellent comms. My favourite vid this evening. ✨
Glad you enjoyed it!
E92 GTS is just a dream car. The new CSL is nice...ish, but it definitely doesn't get me anywhere near as excited as the old one.

Really good channel - hard to moan about any element - rare on both counts, well done guys!
Amazing Content Stig! I mean Ben😅
Ben having fun on a track is most entertaining!
More please.
More soon!
Very nice test 👌
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it.
What an absolutely amazing video! This guy is so much more grounded than most other creators. Brilliant video! Perfecy content, cinematography and video length. Keep it rolling! Thank you!.
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come.

what a masterpiece of a video, how did i only find your channel now?? so you were the stig? wow
One of the comparisons worth watching!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the feedback.
Personal choice: V8 E92. Same color... Outstanding machine
Excellent video. Timeless design on the e90 series. I think we will look back on their styling the same as we do for the e46
Amazing 🤩
Thanks!
New subscriber here. This is top-tier content; absolutely masterfully written, filmed, edited, and produced overall! Your driving skill is something I myself aspire to approximating, albeit at a much lower level. Kudos to you, Ben, and the team behind this.
Please consider doing a “just the noise” version of the timed and drifting laps with minimal to no post-processing. Thanks!
Welcome aboard! Maybe I'll get some drifting clips uploaded to shorts.
This channel deserve a million subscribers.
Great video - I love them both. Appreciate the opening comments on the E92 vs E46. The Topgear episode at Ascari referenced is probably my all time favourite. Long live BMW M cars!
Long live M!
Finally a good video! 🎉
Trying to say my other videos aren't good? ;)
Looks like a fun circuit!
It's a GREAT circuit. Super fast, but also technical!

Good video but would have loved to see the E46 M3 CSL in there also as a comparison being a CSL too.
Totally different to the standard E46 M3 in my opinion and whilst I fully expect the new CSL to be faster I don’t think it would have been totally humiliated.
And this E46 did have a lower centre of gravity due to being the 1st M3 to don a carbon roof !
Oh and thanks again for your tuition on the Top Gear track many years ago when I took part in the show !
And lighter than the GTS too, afaik it was as a fast as the 996 GT3 around the 'Ring.
I would guess 1.15 for the E46. It's close to humiliation.
