It is subjective. I have both, and there are elements of the lines that one is nicer than the other and vice versa. The M4 will turn heads more from regular people. It has more modern styling. For enthusiast is another story
Brilliant video. The E92 M3 is a special car. It is the kind of car you drive and forget to turn on the radio. The sound of that engine is music to my ears. Cheers!
You're absolutely spot on right! Even though I have top of the range premium sound system in my E92 M3, I never turned it on...I prefer to listen to that sophisticated V8 music through the Armytrix titanium exhaust I have on ;-) Oh ya!
Finally somebody with some real knowledge , a true car enthusiast who knows what they 're talking about. A car that's amazing in every aspect, and only going to go up in value. Mark my words. Well done buddy.
Even without the VIC plates, you can tell this guy's from Melbourne. Hipster look, complaining about his cup holder not being close enough for his coffee. LOL love it.
Yes, it's better looking than the M4. Plus the V8 on it sounds so much better.. I agree that I would like a real cupholder on center console, like in an E46. Thanks for this informative video. Can you guys make a video on taking this M3 as-is to a regular racetrack?
One thing I haven’t heard any reviewer talk about how the DCT is ultra reliable. I was looking at the service records of m3s I was interested in and noticed none ever had clutch replacements done. I did some research knowing just how garbage the m5 SMG was. I discovered that the DCT clutches are easily lasting to 100k-200k miles.
Definitely agree with the message of this video (but not so much with the cheesy script), if you are more interested in the experience of driving the car (rather than the numbers) the E92 is so much more rewarding and enjoyable than the F80 M4
Great review! One criticism.. You might consider running a low-pass filter on your commentary audio. The high treble freq sibilances were killing my ears at times
Extremely disappointed when I test drove 2 of them last week. All the hype and certainly did not live up to it. Shifts were slow, power was lacking for a V8, feels boaty and heavy around the corners... Definitely not the truest definition of a "driver's car" in my honest opinion. For the price of this competition package version, I will buy a 997 911 Carrera S, would even take a base model Carrera too or even a much cheaper Cayman S.
Buy it. AP BBK, Akra Evo, ECU and DCT Tune, Wheels, Ohlins + sway bars + camber kit, semi slick boots and you have a V8 supercar for the road. Forget about a 997 other than the 997.2 GT3 maybe. And even then that V8 with an Akra and tune sounds better. IMO.
Americans commenting there is 10% gst , 33% luxury car tax ' 5% tariffs ' 3% stamp duty brand new , why its expensive 10 yrs latter $140,000aud with taxes brand new
2010 e90 now with a few mods but still NA which I plan to keep. I love love love it. BPM ecu and dct tune, MS intake, TMS pulley kit, Nashin G series BBK 380 6p front and 355 4p rear, Ohlins R&T coilovers, Hotchkis front and rear sway bars, KMAC camber kit running 3 degrees negative and Vorsteiner Gunmetal V103's. It inn NO WAY drives like the OEM car I bought 14 months ago !! Just get one and gradually modify it. You won't regret it for a second. Cheers
yes it is better looking than the M4
No way!! Are you blind?
+matt slynch no I'm not blind mate

In my opinion...the e9X is the best looking m3 ever.
To me yep, better looking than than the M4.

Bought a convertible for my wife a few weeks ago. Alpine white with fox red. What a machine.

Even if I hit the lottery for 20 mill, the cars I'm getting the e92 m3 and the 1M! Also those rims are an A+.
Even without the VIC plates, you can tell this guy's from Melbourne. Hipster look, complaining about his cup holder not being close enough for his coffee. LOL love it.
very special car, keen to buy one, addicted to the sound, seriously.
The (E92) M3 DCT may even be the second-best car in the world after the M3 manual. -Car and Driver
What a fun review, charming and on point. "You know when you're in a coffee shop.." made me laugh. It's hard not to want an E92 after watching this
Cheers for the vid. How much did you pay the last time you replaced the tyres, might I enquire?
I drive the e90 m3 as a daily driver all summer - the six speed manual is totally fine.
Stopped paying attention once I saw your straight-armed driving position.
The clicking of the shoes did it for me, just enough time to type this and move on!

best bmw car . no turbos . natural V8. loveee

Super reliable. Over engineered
Just filmed a couple videos with an e90 m3...since my mom followed suit and got herself an M car lol
Are the wheel arches more flared on this m3

Was it stock exhaust at the start?
should move your seat further to the front quite a bit. But nice video!
was thinking the exact same thing
Nice video!
Great review! One criticism.. You might consider running a low-pass filter on your commentary audio. The high treble freq sibilances were killing my ears at times
Nice video, love my e92.
You had me at Hello. You lost me at Barry White vs. Beyoncé. LOL.
80 to 100k? they go for around 30k these days... have been since early 2016
In Usa , not in Australia above $30000
Yeah I love the V8 sound. On a side note, if you listen to the new C63, its V8 sound is still great even though its turbo charged.
Daniel Sadjadian bcuz it has a fake sound generator
It's 45 to 55K USD 2012 to 2013 in the US
SEAN JOHN 92663 Just got a 2012 ZCP with 40k ood :)
18% -51% tax on cars
The best m3 ever
Agree the e9x looks more aggressive, f8x looks more feminine.
That's just in peoples' heads... Objectively, the f8x is way more aggressive (not saying my opinion on which one I like more)..
honestly I would say the other way around but I like the E92 10x more!!
how much tho
18% -51% tax on cars in Australia ( democradic socialiam )
Yarra Bend Drive FTW!

Damn really bro!? That sucks I was thinking about picking up one of these but after hearing that what's the point?
Why listen to what one person says? Drive one yourself and then decide!
Sounds like you didn't get it up in the rev band which is where the car shines. It's not your typical V8 with low end torque so keep that in mind.

Caleb Wong its not for the dtag strip but for long range at speed driving... highway/autobahn/ track
Get a GTS tune for the DCT
Very nice and very true!

80-100k where you live that sucks they go for 25-35k in America
$40000aud now
But agree, E92 M3 is a special car
Fanging around Yarra Boulevard. Naughty naughty.

Definitely. Thats my plan too :)
Thumps up!
80-100k? Quite pricy for a used E92

oh shit thats how much they cost in Australia
Brand M3 pure $129,990 aud / $45000 in tax , 08 m3 on the market 35000aud - 40000aud
0:18, 0:32 etc. "the A92"? Aussie accent is weird :D
Make more videos
can't take ya serious with those shoes bro
Wow! used E92 M3 costs $80,000 - $100,000 AUD in Australia. In US or Canada, you can find mint condition 2009 E92/E90 M3s for $30,000.
yeah european cars are crazy priced in AU :(
WTF
There are dollars other than US dollars. Really.
Luxury car tax 33% ' Tariffs 5% brand new adds $32000 to the price brand new $125,000 aud
In Australia now the $35000aud
Australia the 35k - 40k

Americans commenting there is 10% gst , 33% luxury car tax ' 5% tariffs ' 3% stamp duty brand new , why its expensive 10 yrs latter $140,000aud with taxes brand new
the e9x m cars are like the r33 of nissan, good performance but pretty ugly and a bit too boaty
$80-$100k !! Dude you can get one for $40-50k yes I'm in Aus
Yep. Bought a great one for 50k 14 months ago
Freud awesome! Are you liking it? What year? I’m hoping to get an e92 m3 for my next car around $40-50k
2010 e90 now with a few mods but still NA which I plan to keep. I love love love it.

Freud awesome some nice mods there! Does it still throw you back in your seat? I’m used to today’s newer turbo’d cars that give you that feeling
high taxes in Australia , 51% tax slugged on it brand new
Sorry but space grey 6MT is far superior
80-100k for a used E92. Oh you poor, poor Aussies.
Socialism , 51% tax brand new $140,000 aud
pick up your feet when youre walking
Mate sorry but your voice drones worse than any car at speed on a motorway! Put some enthusiasm into it!
His driving position is cringe worthy
Definitely the best .. a futur collector .. Love mine

You've clearly never spanked an E30 M3. No comparison. Oh and no cup holders for your artisan lattes. Sorry. ☕️
E92 sounds great blah blah. F80 superior in every other way.
Such an amazing car, unfortunately I can't say the same about the review or the pathetic man doing it.....Best M3 review??....Far from it!
