    E92 M3 owner of 3 years myself. Didn't get the hype when buying the car, and every year since owning it, I am more and more convinced that this is the BEST car you can buy for the money. Does everything right when set up correctly. Maintaining isn't cheap but also is not very frequent. Best sounding, looking and driving BMW in my opinion. Great video

    Great video, as an e92 m3 owner as well, I can attest to eveything you've mentioned. These are not cheap cars to maintain (if you want to do it right), but I think, for the money, it's probably one of the best driving experiences you can get mixed with some comfort and luxury

    Bro, you hit the nail on the head. For all of us who know and love the older cars ours 2010 E92 is the pure driving experience of the mostly stock, mostly original BMW as you have said perfectly, by ownership it's the naturally aspirated motor. To be able to feel the hydraulic steering the feel of the road is a one of a kind driving experience. Your absolutely right that feeling no longer exists in the newer cars. And maintenance job one, is King, it's the heart of the all around system to maintaining any car, and BMW is a car to be driven outright..Thanks my friend because all of us who know, BMW really is the ultimate driving machine..!!

I previously had the OG M2 Coupe in DCT which was definitely fun especially at Stage 2+ but after a year I just got bored of it and regretted not having a manual. FF to today and I don’t plan on parting with the M2C anytime soon. Just drive what you like.

    The dual X pipes (or long merge X pipes) sound so good on these. I agree with you on the cats too. Also for what its worth, with the LCI nav units, you can add apple car play to it and retain 100% stock navigation functions and screens. Or with any OEM nav setup (Pre-LCI or LCI) you can get some apple/android car play units that also retain 100% stock navigation functions and screens.

    Only do the carbon shaft from Matt at euroconnex. I’ve heard horror stories of poor balancing from other companies. If you want to keep stock driveshaft the U joint isn’t serviceable even if people tell you it can be rebuilt. Do the diff CV joint and Guibo and you’re fine. Get new bolts for the diff of course.

    If you’re not able to spend more after the purchase price than what you would spend with any other car, don’t recommend. If you have a budget to play with and can afford it’s maintenance 1000% recommended. My only advice is to make sure you find a good euro shop near you bc BMW (where I live at least) charges 200/hour for labor. Make sure to have knowledge on the car’s rod bearings before purchase, will you need to swap them/have they been swapped already, and (not saying it’s guaranteed) EXPECT and at least account for the fact that you might need to have your gaskets replaced (valve cover, head, and oil filter housing). It’s definitely not just a cheap get in and never think about anything car. Honestly though they’re amazing cars that have so much personality and provide an amazing experience, there’s nothing else like in the price range they’re in

    Great vid. Anyone buying an E9X M3 with a DCT gearbox should expect to have to replace the DCT oil pan and gasket at some point. My DCT sprung a massive leak out of nowhere last year. The plastic oil pans just tend to fail after time, not an uncommon problem. Had a full fluid flush done with new filters, gasket and oil pan. Mechanically the DCT boxes are solid and reliable and really fun if you do a GTS tune.

      @@RandomLuckk Yes they are reliable, aside from having leaky oil pans. They are a Getrag made transmission and mechanically they are good. Good idea to have a fluid flush done every 50,000 KMs or so (30,000 miles). But yes, more expensive to fully replace a DCT than manual transmission. But I really haven' t heard of many cases where these DCTs fail completely.

      I have both. I find that people want to buy my e92 m3 more and my f80 was my investment!🥲
      I find e92 m3 more engaging and the driver is in control of everything. If the driver want all power, the e92 m3 instantly does it. F80 needs a few mili seconds to get what you want. Also, the f80 requires more driver input to handle where as the e92 feels direct and natural.
      Anyways, the f80 looks more aggressive but the e92 looks more sleek and sporty. They both look modern but with their own style.
      Idk what I prefer but I notice I drive my e92 more since it's more direct and engaging, instant power, comfortable, and better higher seating position.

    • @abrahamg3354

      Now, if you get e92 m3. Get 2011+ with Bluetooth and competition pack for the 19 inch wheels, dct software, suspensions and other stuff I guess.
      For the f80, get 2016+. Get competition pack for lightweight seats, 666m wheels, louder exhaust and I guess other goodies. Also make sure you have the executive pack aswell because the headlights with that pack makes a world of difference in looks.

      @Xccord ok, first the speed and second dct.
      So first, the e92 m3, when warmed up, the thing instantly goes fast that it your head snaps back to the seat like if a magnet turns on with the flip of a switch. The engine revs to 8500 and as you go up the Rev band the car feels like its going overdrive because peak HP is at the end of the Rev band. Every shift you do it feels like it goes faster and faster where as other cars, while you go faster, you'd feel the power get weaker through the Rev band. Yes torque is low BUT you have torque on all the Rev band while other cars you lose torque mid rpms. This car IS fast. It really is. It loves to Rev and I feel that these engines thank you for that. Just like I say, a redline a day keeps the technician away.
      As for DCT, both my m3s are DCT because the e92 was built around that. It was meant for that. The dct is the top ten fastest shifting trans in the world. The downshift sounds so good above 2500 rpm and the upshifts feel so satisfying as they kick your whole body back. I love the DCT. However, for these cars, their is no downsides to either transmission - well maybe. The manual, while it makes you feel more engaged to the car, it makes it sluggish in performance. The car will be slow because of the time it takes to change gears. The drag times are noticeable. People love you for DCT and those same people love you for manual as well cause they're both fun and reliable.
      For f80, the dct feel more jerky on standing starts when casually cruising. I've also noticed that applying above 85% of throttle makes the car want to chirp the wheels. I think the rest of the throttle was meant for full power for drifting and sliding - I remember reading something about it being for telling the car you want to slide and stuff. You apply full throttle when you're already going - I guess 2nd or 3rd gear. Both cars have the same DCT, it's just that they're different in software tunes/behavior.
      People can talk dump on either cars on either trans but people need time to get to know the car and how it handles.
      They both are fun, and both need to be driven differently to understand its performance and characteristics.

    Little thing about the rod bearings….you don’t need to replace them if you know how to handle this engine and maintenance well….if you let the car warm up and don’t go above 3k RPMS for the first 5-10 minutes of driving and do oil changes every 2-3k miles then the rod bearings will be perfectly fine…I have a family member in the EU that has a e90 M3 and he told me that doing rod bearings over in the EU is rare like it happens don’t get me wrong but it’s all about the owners and how they drive/do maintenance….my dads e93 M3 also went 135k before he sold it and never did the rod bearings….he got a oil test done every 10k miles and it was never an issue…..you just have to let the car warm up and then when you start driving it don’t go above 3k RPMs for a little along with oil changes pretty regularly and you’ll be FINE!!!…..now that being said I’d definitely do rod bearings if you’re getting a used car that was bought from a car enthusiast. Especially if they don’t have a recent oil test done. But if it’s from a grandpa that only drives it on the weekends I’d do an oil test and if it’s fine then I wouldn’t even touch them.
