I left this playing a few extra times, just to listen to that glorious inline 6

[@theeeMitchi]

Klasse gefahren :) Macht immer wieder Spaß, dir zuzuschauen.

[@mogi-sane4661]

Very enjoyable lap to watch. These two cars are so evenly matched with the E46 having an edge at corner exit acceleration and the e36 being faster in the corners.
You must do more laps with Hamza 😁

This was a nice surprise before I go to work :)

Ich liebe dieses Auto E36 einfach nur ein Traum und dann noch so schöne Onboards danke für die Videos!!!!

[@mrex666]

Simply a joy to see :)

[@dimitarchardakliev5351]

Beautiful driving, subscribed!

[@marcustaylor670]

All the fast BMW's I've seen at the ring have been E36, the E46 was holding the E36 up and you could see it was struggling with understeer in some corners where the E36 driver never looked like he was trying.
On the road the 46 is the nicer car but a track shows the limits of the chassis, I think it must be heavier and not quite as good geometry wise. The only advantage I could see for the E46 was it was a bit faster once it got wound up on the straight. I've seen some pretty expensive German BMW builds at the ring, seems there is a reason none of them choose an E46 or any newer 3 series as a platform.

[@djjaydee7706]

Very nice angle of view!

[@statesidesupercars]

And now I want E36...

[@gabspopo2300]

And now you have one !

[@Showdown911]

Geile Runde Alex ☺👌

[@ESKATEUK]

Absolutely awesome race man, enjoyed every second. What sort of mods have you done to your car to achieve a time like that?

[@JamesMotorsport]

It took me a second to realize that noise was a fender liner rubbing on hard corners.

[@Funkyflykiwi]

Does Hamza have a TH-cam channel? Are the mods similar on both cars? Your e36 looks to have very firm suspension, more so than most e46 setups

[@Karim.R1]

Hi Alex, great driving both of you.
If you have the option of stripping down the two cars and equip them exactly with the same mods, which one would be better considering it a street/track car, E36 vs E46, thanks man.

[@AlexHardt]

Hi, thanks! I would choose the E36 due to more driving fun without any driving assistants.

[@Karim.R1]

Alex Hardt thanks again, appreciated :)

[@r129r16pfl]

E36 is smaller in every dimension, less frontal area, less weight

[@BMWiE-lz3nu]

The only "driver assistance" the e46 has over the e36 is the throttle is "drive by wire" where the e36 is still a cable driven system. Just because of that I'd go with the e36

[@ayowser01]

I wonder, is the e46 m3 modified to a similar extent as the e36 m3? In Europe, the powerplants are the same between the two, correct? Is the transmission also the same? Great driving, btw. I enjoy watching your videos. cheers.

[@Euphorica]

ayowser01 not the same engine

[@thof8287]

@@Euphorica S54 is an evolution of the s50. S50b32 has 321PS s54 has 340PS

PARTY HARDT!

[@luissandoval1515]

Are they stock?

[@JorMorera]

is the e36 m3 too?

[@santiagoescandon2684]

Is this the 3.2?

[@ringbimmer]

E36 zeigt was er wirklick kann :)

[@leonr2033]

Sind das die Reifen die im Radhaus schleifen ??? Das hört sich echt schlimm an. Warum ändert man da nichts dran ?

[@mgfmgtf]

Ja.

[@leonr2033]

Werden die dadurch nicht beschädigt ? Also ich hätte da kein gutes Gefühl bei wenn so ein Geräusch bei 200km/h auftritt.

[@mgfmgtf]

Doch werden sie. Bis zu einem gewissen Maße ist das halb wo wild. In der Fuchsröhre schleift sogar ein Serien 991 GT3 RS. Aber bei dem Video ist es schon recht heftig.

[@dedu7483]

Is this car stock motor with no upgrades or? Great vid btw

[@Martin-qq9xd]

Kamera im Fußraum wäre cool...

[@Malteser3535]

Ist das Cuynet im gelbem E46?

[@AlexHardt]

Malteser3535 nein

[@RZRBLAZ]

Now the next question is, which one is stock?

[@ej22_gc86]

Jay Jones definitely not the E36, you cam clearly see it’s got a roll cage, long gearstick and probably a passenger seat delete + other weight reduction stuff

[@johannmuller7738]

Does the bmw have the 192 hp series or is it tuned?

[@christianweigand3156]

Both are M3. If 3,2 it has 321 horse in stock

[@goneforgood9707]

3.0L or 3.2L ?

[@joshgt3897]

3.2 l

[@JohnLaden]

E46 tuned too?

[@mTwMarco]

the E36 has stock engine.

[@user-et9dq2je9j]

nice m3

[@abangbimer9057]

This E36 m3 or what??

[@johnyutah9542]

E36 E46 are some of the best handling cars of all time.

[@loldd4797]

In stock form? E36 loses with even Renault 19 in race track.(castle combe race track test from 90s) This E36 is not E36 anymore, it has E36 M3 engine inside and thats it. In stock form M3 E36 is not even good handling car. Its old and slow. (E60 535D in automatic making same track times)
So E36 handling is not even close to be good and u talking about best handling cars of all time?
Nowadays suv make better G in corner than old stock E36.

[@johnyutah9542]

Ive seen E36 with only 330hp go round in 7:25. A nissan GTR needs an extra 200+hp to match that time. Suv? 😁

You can modify Dacia logan and make 7:30 too.

It seems that there is not big difference between e36 and e46 M3! E36 M3 is good enough on racing road!

You get sooo much for the money with some of these bmw m cars its amazing. nice battle you got here
