I’m smiling just watching the video, you can hear that exhaust echoing off everything around the car in this video. Truly looks like an absolute joy to drive.
I think my long pursuit of finding the perfect car (for what I like) has finally led me to the e90 M3. NA, V8, MT, analog, quiet&comfortable enough to daily, interesting/engaging around town, and big smiles on an open back road…
Been wanting one since 2013, Covid hit, bought a home, pushed back the purchase but watched a ton of your vids during Covid times and now I have one. It’s unreal how special this car feels. Not fast, not slow, but just right.
Impeccable driving and thank you for making this video! Ever since I first saw your videos (without a pedal cam), I've always wanted to see this in action.
At one time every single automobile and truck used to come with a clutch, brake, and gas pedal. Every young teenage kid in America learned on a stick, whether it was a 4 on the floor, 3 on a tree, or any number of manual gearing setups. On lots of vehicles you had to double clutch and tap the throttle to coordinate a downshift. There was also a floor mounted dimmer switch and starter pedal to manipulate on most. Today, using your feet to drive is treated as some sort of hard to master, exotic art. Silliness.
My man is driving in boats :O European commenting here, I have an e90 with a small 2.0 diesel and it still manages to put a smile on my face, can't imagine how much fun a similar chassis (e92) is with the V8. Amazing content man, keep up the good work!
One of my dream cars! I know this is an old azz vid but the clean driving hooked me... I for sure want to have a set of driving loafers just for my future GT350 to cruise in... anyway those boats dont seem so bad the way you drive in them!
Wettm3, I am a fan from South Africa👌😁love your vids man, can you do more in depth vids of how to Rev match, I wanna learn how to Rev match myself, so your last Rev matching vid really helped
When you rev-match, how do you maintain consistent brake-pressure to make sure it's not upsetting the weight balance? Probably an easy thing for most but I can't seem to get this part down
There is only one way and it is practice. Some times it is difficult to maintain even pressure, so I sometimes alter shift timing and focus more on braking. Heel-toe is cool but braking is far more important
It's very difficult to maintain. It's funny - the harder you're braking, the easier it actually is. It also depends a lot on the car. Some pedal setups are a lot more difficult due to: extremely sensitive brake pedal or engine\throttle that requires a lot of "stab" to get the engine to rev up. A lot also depends on the clutch - how easy it is to "catch" the engine with the grab point of the clutch. Some cars you're able to feel a lot of this through the pedals and it makes it very easy, others (I'm looking at you Ford Mustang) are completely dead with zero feel and hyper sensitive and it's actually very difficult.
i find it easier to rev match if you need to lay into the brake pedal more, but for regular slow driving its harder. My car has a floor-mounted gas pedal so using the side of my feet is the way I do it.
@@lowstrife My Forte GT Manual has a brake pedal that's too tiny thus rendering it too far away from the accelerator to Heel-toe. It's also pitched WAY too far forward. It's retarded and I have US 10.5 feet.
Would love to see a real indepth Rev Match tutorial. I mean, if people believe you have auto Rev Match when you don't, that says something about your skills IMO XD. Oh and don't be scared to go "too" indepth. I think a 201 lesson would be more suiting then a 101 since we're all car guys over here who have some basics.
hey man i love the no nonsense style of your content, keep it up! i also had a question… i have an e90 325i that’s a stick. i figure our manuals are pretty similar with you having an e92 so i thought i’d ask. over the last couple of years or so i’ve been having this weird issue where it seems as if the clutch/transmission will get excessively notchy and difficult to shift at times. it’s like the clutch has an extra level of heft to it and like the car doesn’t want to go into gear as easily when shifting. not only that, but it’s almost like all the overall dynamics of the car change. it feels more sluggish to accelerate and there’s a noticeable delay and some power loss when starting off in first. there’s occasionally even a thumping sound i can hear from the rear when this happens and the car fees incredibly bogged down when starting from a stop. it should be noted that this comes and goes and from what i can tell, more often than not it happens when it’s really hot outside. i live in arizona, so during these months it’s regularly 95-110 outside. it’ll happen sometimes when the temps are moderate but it’s definitely more prevalent when it’s hot. also i worked at a bmw dealership for 2 years and had master techs take a look at/drive my car numerous times. some couldn’t duplicate the issue and others felt what i was describing but couldn’t identify what the potential issue may be. i had the clutch replaced last year and it’s definitely a bit better since being replaced but the shifting/clutch issues and overall sluggishness with the car is still a noticeable issue. lastly, when the car isn’t behaving this way, it’s a blast to drive. it’s almost like it’s a night and day thing. it can go from feeling bogged down, sluggish and hard to shift to feeling spry, easy to shift and like the clutch is as light as a feather. it’s very strange. any thoughts/input?
If multiple BMW techs couldn't pinpoint the issue I highly doubt a youtuber will. With that being said I'd check the brake/master fluid. Flush it and replace with fresh ATF or w/e e90's recommend. Could also be something along the lines of your throw out/pilot bearings, clutch fork, clutch itself, could literally be any number of things that someone over the internet wouldn't be able to diagnose. Secondly, with the " thumping " sound you're hearing I'd inspect your guibo and bushings in the rear. I.E. subframe, diff, trailing arms etc.
Just little lesson 😂 for somebody good Like always just drive & enjoy I love people like that true enthusiastic about car & driving it with pleasures I wish you safe roads man good luck & good little pov
honestly, for most drives not on a track I don't see the use of this technique. Its cool to watch and it reminds me of my old 335i 6MT but on the track its more critical to down shift and brake at the same time so it calls for this technique. You are going say 100-120 on a straight and then you have to drop two gears and slow down by 40-50 mph to take a turn and balance the car correctly. I have found when you don't do this right the cars lunges or feels off centered on a turn and weight distribution is key. You don't want too much weight over the front or rear heading into a turn. Great M3 to drive around in for sure.
Gotta practice every single time you drive and ignore anyone who tells you that you don't need to heel-toe if you're not at a track or racing. You get more in-tune with the car every time you do it. I've been doing heel-toe for 15 years of driving, and still feel like I'm learning something new on each drive.
Helped push me to get an m3 !! Have in grey but its the e93 dam she's beautiful !!! Rod bearings and Exhaust mod is booked for next week 🙌 Saving up for those lights they're so day sexy !!! Make the car look so modern !!! Tried the led bulb replacements for the halo rings worked for a day :(
Could you make a video of your gopro settings and how you wear it? If i try to record go pro Videos they are normally too high … and do you film in 60 fps? I think so.. Many thanks !! Great job, great videos!
Hey man, I never get tired listening to your E92 👍 I would love a tutorial vid! I'm learning on an F87 M2, and it's my first manual. I got big boats like you do (size 12) lol. But my feet are also narrow so I'm having a rly hard time with my foot positioning when trying to let half of my foot blip the gas pedal
Practise using the brake with half of your foot while resting half of it on the gas. Once you are able to comfortably brake and use the gas without moving your leg (only your ankle) then you can try downshift rev matching
A lot of my friends do this and sure it works. However, I’ve caught them accidentally pushing down on the gas pedal while breaking which would cause them to launch forward and, in some cases, up onto a curb while parking or into a busy intersection. Although it takes more practice, true heel toeing is far safer. I have 12 1/2 sized feet, and yes, it was a bit of a struggle at first but, I eventually was able to work it out. Also, at first you might feel that you’re not flexible enough to do it but, as you practice you become more flexible and the twisting of your leg and ankle gets better. Good luck dude.
@Stash O’neill you’re right. When I’ve been driving flat out and having to break hard I have sometimes also hit the gas but luckily it’s only happened twice and both times I was on the clutch so the engine just revved. I think my knee would dislocate if I tried heel and toe the actual way lmao
My man is driving in boats! Would love an in depth tutorial. Been daily driving a manual for 4 years now, and honestly my heel toe down shifts are buns. Would really like some advice on how to improve!
The current M3 has 1L less displacement, makes me wonder if it was really worth it. Don't get me wrong, I love straight 6's, but this engine was glorious.
Lovely car and skill of Heel Tow. I have a question regarding an E92 M3. I am looking at this carbon black 2013 E92 M3 with 47k miles on the clock. Now when I took it out for a test drive, I felt like the clutch travel is too long and also biting point is too high and there's a decent gap between rest position and biting point. Also, I felt quite a jerk while changing gears like car pushes forward a lot and jerks a lot while shifting up and also the gear shifter it self felt a bit hard to put it into the 3rd gear from 2nd. I felt like there's some sort of resistance from shifter to shift from 2nd to 3rd. The accelerator paddle also felt a bit lagging for initial press afterwards its very responsive. Are the things I mentions in this comment is actually how it should be or am I missing something?
My man is driving in boats... Quick question how long would you say it took you to learn how to rev match? I'm a big guy so I also have boats lol but the whole pivot of the foot is kinda hard for me due to tight hip flexors.

Almost any proper performance car company does that. Hell, Porsche is notorious about it
almost every single manual car in the world has this, the gas and brake are right foot pedals and the clutch is for left foot not special

Very nice and natural heel and toe skills
very clean build. only thing i hated was that cable of the radar
Heel toe downshifting minus the heel part 😂
super late but beautiful car, beautiful sound, beautiful video. cheers!
