What car would you like to see featured next on the DEATH OF A LEGEND SERIES?! 💀
i miss my e46.....lost it in a divorce....told her id buy her out but she wont havin it.....car got impounded a state away 6 months after we split....car was trashed and ran like shit so i didnt bid on it on the auction
I’m sorry for your loss 😢
@@kiwizzle03 yea she was a mint 4dr white with black interior. Black 20 in bbs ac schinzer Exhaust. She was sweet
I’m so sorry about your car 😢
Women 😮
Sorry for your loss brother
I owned an E36 German Spec Coupe in Dakar Yellow and an E46 manual in Imola Red back when I lived in South Africa...I miss them both but would buy back my E36 German Spec tomorrow if I got the chance...what a car that was!
I ordered my G80 M3 in manual and plan to drive it into the ground. I have owned all of the great M cars except for a Z8. I daily my G80 M3 and love it. I might even trade it in 2027 at the end of the production run for a brand new one in the exact same spec just to get a mileage reset. May the manual M3 rest in piece. I'll keep driving mine as long as I possibly can
E46 and E30 ..... Those are two of my Favorit Cars ever ever
E90, F80 & G80 are all faster but the E46 M3 is the true essense of pure sporting, high revving, normally aspirated, manual shifting, 2 door coupe. This is still my favourite M3 of all time. Pure analog goodness.
I may be a bit biased as I am now on #3, but e46 will forever hold a special place in my heart. Albeit ridiculously expensive (and no m3 generation is cheap per say), once you start to dive into the e46, you realize there is so much untapped potential being stored in both the chassis and the motor. With some refinement and the help of modern technology, there are few driving experiences that match it. I would love for you to come experience my build when my fitment is ready!!
I grew on a E46 323i, it is my dream car and its my father's dream car true, its just a piece of art
The engine has hardly any untapped potential
Alright, best looking has to go to the F80. Most Iconic goes to the E46. Best performing is without question the G80. And the E90 makes the best noise. That being said, the E36 is my favorite. I’ve had 2. Acquiring this vert after owning a G80 has been one of the most fun ventures of my car journey.
F80 is from 2015 but still looks new😎
Had to stop. This is one of the smartest, unbiased sounding and truthful comment. I've gotta f80 and absolutely in love with it had an e46 and loved that too. Never cared for e92 but it's cool now just slow.
@@jhr1572 thanks man. I wanted to be shady to F8X for a while, but had to concede that EVERY version of that car is a looker.
Quite the nice choice if you ask me! 😅
I just really favour light cars and the E36 is the one where still almost any parts are relatively easy to get, which certainly isn´t the case for the E30 anymore sadly...
@@Schmitzelhaus I agree man. I was looking at Porsche 987 and E8X chassis. Ultimately, I went with the E36 because it’s still lightweight, very fun, nearly bulletproof in the drivetrain, and with enough seats that my daughter can join in on the shenanigans for awhile.
Holy fck...just randomly watching another M3 related video and see my actual 13 yrs old video/car in 10:55 and with Michael Phelps like a cherry on top...You just made my day guys :)
G80 M3 is just a beast. Noting comes close to it. Just a tune & downpipe and Bamm 700hp.
E92 M3 is my favorite 🔥🔥
Till the repair bills hit. I had one for a while... Great to drive, but only when it's in the mood to drive. Swapped it out for an E63, way better.
@@fundamentallybroken4194 without pure luck i dont see any E63 being more reliable than the E9X M3 lol.
@@fundamentallybroken4194 You went from a S65 to a S85... Both bad for the wallet. But hella fun
@@zafert85 I should have been more clear. I went to a Mercedes E63 AMG. Not the BMW 6 series E63.
@@fundamentallybroken4194 6.2 or the 5.5 TT?
Okay I'm really not going to get into all the missed stuff with the E46 and E9X BUT I will say something not many people talk about so I would totally forgive you for not saying anything about it. But when BMW was making their first real mass produced Turbos car. Yes I know the 2002. The BMW 2002 Turbo is one of the most revered cars built by the Bavarian automaker in the 1970s and today it’s viewed as a highly collectible German classic - made all the more desirable by the fact that just 1,672 examples were ever built. (No I didn't copy paste that last sentence. ....Okay yes, yes I did). Anyway so BMW doesn't consider it their real first production Turbo car. The 335i was with the N54 twin turbo engine. Which they wanted so much to make sure that it wasn't going to have problems due to the Turbos charging that they put forged internals into the bottom end. They also knew they had been considering the change over to turbo power for the next M3 and knew they could make much better power using much less gasoline. So they had designed the N54 engine with the possibility of Turbo charging the next car and this was going to be their experimental platform (Not totally but they have admitted this) so they were going to keep their eyes on them closely while designing the next M3. Well it far out performed all expectations by a huge margin especially once the tuner community got hold of it. Then they made the 2011 1M (mot the M1 of course because that was the name of the first "M" car)using bits and pieces from whatever they wanted or needed. Okay I'm done for today as I'm not getting paid for this "Off the top of my memory pod" info. LOL. All the best and go in Pieces of M cars! LOL. .
I don’t have an m3, but I do have an F87 M2 Comp. Hands down the closest M car to the old 2 door M3, easily the best car I have ever owned. F series M’s are some of the most beautiful cars they have made, really worth buying one if the G8X series is out of reach.
M2 comp is said to be the true succesor to the E46 M3, thoughts on that?
F87 N55 is more of a pure successor has better handling and less weight
E46 my favorite ❤.
Best looking m3.
Then the F80
You know your stuff. Like the shirt
Like your shirt! And you know your stuff! Never forget the 3/4/5 :)
There should be a rule that you can only rescue a car once!
Great show ✌️
The E46 and E39 M's are some of the most beautiful cars and practical made that had purposed beyond what they appeared.
I have an e46. Absolute mental thing to drive. Get one before it's too late guys.
Coopay in sound. A coop is where you keep chickens
Amazing video. For this very reason I'm not waiting to get a m3. I will be ordering the 2025.
E46, best looking gen IMO. Also it was as close to automotive perfection for it's time.
I agree!
The G87 M2 with the S58 is the true successor to the original M3s it even has the e30 M3 hips.
Blah blah blah said like someone that doesnt own one
@@BPF80MCar-vi1pg As of April 18th I have 1 year with the new G87 M2. Love it. About the same size as my E92 M3. I own a house too lol!! Skipped the F series cars. Lame.
@@BPF80MCar-vi1pg S58 king. s65 beautiful sound. s55 lame.
BMW e92 m3 is ultimately the best looking m3 series ever made by BMW
Got a F80 and love it
1:37 LMFAOOOOO why did that fit him soo well?
8:32 where can I get that endless project T from?
Haha right?! Here's the link to the tee! ideal.media/store/
Base model, I’m all for it!!!
Stickshift for life!!!!!!
Hell yeah! Never have and never will own an automatic! 👍
I still own my e46m3…it’s a 2002 manual in silver and I never plan on selling. Parked next to my 02 Honda s2k…if I have a bad day, I’m taking one of those two cars out and all my worries melt away. Highly recommend since I think the e46M still reins supreme next to the e30M…
Did you buy the M3 new or used?
I have a manual E46 M3 sitting in the garage with 80,000 miles on it now. My 17 yr old son keeps taking the M3 out now and I told him he could have it. I have the full Dinan suspension and stage 2 tune with 19” HRE wheels. I added ppf to the front end and rear fenders. It was freshly detailed and ceramic coated. I used to have a yellow Integra Type R as well which I now regret selling. I daily drive a Tesla Model 3 Performance on Mountain Pass Performance coil overs and 20” zero g wheels. My wife drives the Model Y Performance. I also have a fully modified 4Runner for off road duties. Looking to add a 911 S.
The nfsmw m3 gtr is my favorrite, ive seen a few replicas
Miss mine bmw e30 m3 😢.
Been fortunate enough to have everything from the 2002 Turbo, M535i, 325is, E36 M3(a turbo 3.0 and one nitrous 3.2), E46 M3, the E92 V8 manual & an E60 M5 F10 & M4 comp. Driving the m2 made me feel closest to that original excitement. Still. Too many driver aids cutting in to stop the fun... Like go back to driver mods to not crash 😂
Btw, I also had access to a e30 with full E46 CSL inside of it... Think about what an E30 with that motor did to a stock R35 😂 bro I can't even joke about how bad that went for the Japs that 1 time we went full retard!!!
RIP the M3 i will own one one day💔
Save the manuals!
Amen!
I own a 2010 535i xdrive wagon and a 1987 e30 325is and have to admit my favorite m3s are the e90,e46,f80
Had a 2002 E46 M3 and agree is was a great car- sorry I parted with it before getting a 2007 CTS-V. Next was a 2011 E90 M3 which I really loved and only recently sold before picking up a 2024 G80 M3 Comp X-drive. E9x is all the performance anyone really needs. Hydraulic steering was way better than the drive by wire system in the G80. Letting the DCT shift way faster than a manual at 8300 redline was nirvana and like a cheap Ferrari. I like my G80 but it feels like a much bigger and luxurious car. The low end torque is incredible compared with the E90. I've never driven an F80. However, you can't use the full performance of the G80 on the street and can't make a full power run up through the gears before hitting arrest me speeds in a few seconds.
I have been the happiest dude on earth with my cheap manual E92 M3. I had all non M generations of 3 series and I like the shape of E92 the most so I got it as an M3. It's slow, clunky 6 speed mt, getting outdated features, but I do love it so much and I can't get enough of the sound of the thing and how predictable it is when losing the back end.
love my E92 M3 too, but its been a unreliable piece of shit. insanely fun when it runs well tho, engine is just insane to listen esp with an exhaust
E46 that and the b6 S4 is what started my love for the euros!
E46 is my favorite M3 and having it in Need For Speed is a bonus.
e46 m3 is the best gen. I daily one and its amazing
I own a E46 and a E92, pick them both in Germany while serving overseas. Love them both, but the E46 is more fun to drive IMO.
8:04 , sounds like the impresssion of the italian , not too bad LOL 🤣🤣.
The M3 csl e46 is a masterpiece pure driving experience. And besides that legends never die unless they get forgotten. EV's have zero future and never worked when it was firstly invented and now a days it still has to many flaws and setbacks. Synthetic E-Fuels are the way to go.
For me its the e46. I mean look at it. Its sexy, it drives well and it is the basis of the legendary nfs car. + I had an 318ci as my daily and even that 120hp car with the na 4 banger was fun to drive until a suzuki crashed into it❤
E46 is imo the best looking M3 and is of course my favorite gen. Sadly I think the timing of it's transition from depreciating to collectable means I won't ever be able to own one. The price for a good examples is too expensive for a non-daily at my income level. Once can dream...
Dude you can do it, Don't say you can't, learn about money making skills, I ain't gonna sell you a "get rich scam haha" but you can make your dreams come true
I miss my 190e 2.3
What happened with it?
The E46 M3
this generation of cars will continue to February of 2027. I currently own a 2024 G80. depends on situation I might keep or order another to replace this one towards end of 2026. chances are the next gen M3 will be based on the Neu Class and it'll have some sort of hybrid system like the in-coming G90 M5.
E36 ❤
My top 3 best looking M3's are in this order.. 1. F80 2. E46 3. E92
As an F80 owner. Your 100% correct
Okay you did okay but really you messed up the evolution of the E30 altogether by skipping the First road going "M" car the E28 M5 (or at first it was actually called the M535I and then the M5) and the fact that it got the engine from out of the M1 with all 6 cylinders. and it was only after THAT that they decided to try and cut two cylinders off of the Race derived 6 Cylinder ROAD car and put it into the the E30. . !'m Sorry but this is the age of the internet. Ya gotta get with it boys. LOL. Great Video. Thank you. Just FIX IT!!!! LOL. (I know you won't).
Had an F80 and loved it! Now own a G80! Wow! I’m spoiled! 🤦♂️
E 46 M3 is harder!❤
The death is hurting most, but it’s considered deadly to the legend
I was hoping that BMW would make an hybrid M series that would keep it around a little bit longer. I guess that’s never happening. 😢
my best friend in high schools older sisters boyfriend had two 2002s on to cruise with and one for autocross....they were sick
So the SMG was cool in the 2000s.
Will it be cool again?
Nice video, but I don't appreciate the click-baity title. Not cool.
E46 M3 , E46 was best looking bmw
What I hate about bmw the same could be said for Audi is and Chevrolet ? Is that they have too many sedans even many of their mainline coupe cars have sedans variants. I know the Dodge Charger was a coupe for the first 3 generations and turned into both coupe and sedan in the 4th gen, but it doesn't make sense to kill off the Challenger again
E46
Rest In Peace Georgi Tevzadzi
E46 m3
E90 s the besttttt❤
I doubt BMW will be getting rid of the M3 any time soon more then likely it’s going to follow the footsteps of the upcoming M5 and it will be a hybrid but only time will tell
my favourite video of 2024 by a longshot. Thank you for this Ideal. and the best looking m3 is between E46 and F80. Cant decide between these two
Wow that's an incredible compliment! Appreciate the support!
My step father had a o4 m3 that he boosted and had dropped an AWD conversion into. I wish he didn’t end up selling it while I was in high-school back in the day. I would have loved to own that car, it was so fast even though it was only 500 to the wheels.
500 to the wheels is fucking insane! That’s definitely not a slow car
Good god we have Alpina! When the M3 is dead we only have the B3 left
The E30 didin't sell? Dude, they made 5000 just for homologation and were negative that they will sell well... But after winning everything on the planet, customers wanted an M3, and demand was so big, that they couldn't produce them fast enough. They were flying off the shelves, they just couldn't produce enough of them to meet the demand. More than 18,000 were made, which is more than 3 times as much as they expected to sell even in their most positive reports.
E46 333hp only in the US, in Europe, it made 343hp in the normal M3 and 360hp in the CSL
My favorite is the E46 M3, just because I am a sucker for a nice NA I6, high-revving sound, couple that with a supercharger so you don't kill off the sound and you have all the power you will ever need in a RWD car.
I will own an ICE car for as long as it is possible to drive one on the road. The whole green agenda targeting the cars as the reason for global warming is bullshit, it is just made so that people can buy newer, electrified (both hybrid and EV) cars, take loans and so on... Its just a scam made from governments and banks.. If they forbid me to drive my E46 on the road, I ain't buying a new electric car, I will find a crashed Tesla, Porsche or whatever and I am putting those electric motors in my car, registering it as an EV and thats it. But I won't fall for a scam, which is the "you need to buy a new car, take a loan if you cant afford one" scenario, because thats dumb and brutal.
The best all rounder RIP M3 thank u for burning dino juice with a whole lotta rubber
E46 M3.
Thee F80 is the best looking M-3/4 series imo.
For me,the M3 died when it became 4 door,
But BMW, in their infinite wisdom, gave us the M1 M2, for 2 door coupe fans,
However, for me, ultimate M3 time was the E46
R.I.P he was a legend
F80 ❤
Nothing lasts forever.
But WHY?😢
No. Ev's are NOT the end of Gasoline cars.
Am I the only one here who can tell y'all are clearly lying in the title?!!
Wrong video title
I like that subtle Andrew tate reference
M3 best car from BMW
Hmm M or c8???
BMW M4:
I owned a M4 for a few years and upgraded to a 911 Turbo. I loved the M4 and would probably still own it if it were a manual, I had the DCT. It was fun, but as fun as a manual. Great car nonetheless.
FINALLY someone telling the truth on that NOSE! its terrible we all know its terrible just no youtube person will say it
Bc it’s not that bad ur overreacting
@@Juiicegawd It's a terrible design
A LOT of TH-camrs have complained about the front end.
I miss my e92 in silverstone/silvedstone so much
EV ain’t gonna work for performance BMW. Look at the Mercedes C63s E performance. No one ordered that car.
The M2 is the last full combustion M car. All new M cars will be hybrid or EV.
E36
RIP the m3, It will always be missed
Nonono.....there is only one M3, called E30.
F8X
I've Owned a lot of cars in my life and none of them handled like my 1995 E36 Lightweight Replica built for me by a mall shop in Orlando Florida. It was a pure autocross demon with the ability to put my stepdads SL55 AMG to shame
🕊🕊🕊 😢 🤍 🤍 🤍
The last m3 was the e 92 after that it ended. Fake sound from speakers,insulated,electric stearing ,bad sound . There is no m3 after that. So 2024 should be 2013
Manual the way junkie automatic transmission
You guys might be good TH-camrs. But you are no car experts. So much wrong facts about M history in this video.
Okay guys as I'm watching am I going to have to com and correct you with each new M3? The S50B30 in the Euro version first made 286 hp. Not 282Hp. Okay I'm just going to skip over all the stuff you left out that is making me look like the total Pedantic A-hole I am. (Yes I know it. But I AM sorry about it if that helps at all). Like the fact that Canada actually did get the European E36 M3 (Meaning it came to North America before the letter writing campaign) and it had the FULL S50B30 Engine too. However we (Oops, I forgot to say that I'm a Canuck (Please pray for us USA, we're praying for you too). Only could have 49 of them. WHY?? I forget at the moment but I'll leave that tidbit for others to look up for the fun of it. Okay I'm Pedantic and lazy. I'll also leave out the part about it actually getting a option-able Automatic Transmission. Which was Horrible! Not to mention it was the first to get a four door option.
There's always a know-it-all in the comment section.
I’m just devastated that BMW had to kill the M3. Honestly I’m just confused why they had to kill the M3.😢😢😢
Lost all interest in M cars when the G80 hit. Too heavy and too ugly.
Calling it a botched nose job is being generous. It's a shit show of a horrible front end design.
