I have a question.. the 4 chrome muffler tips you have I'll probably be interested for them if you haven't future uses for them let me know pls thz 🇨🇦👍
I went from my first car being a Nissan Altima to a Interlagos Blue E90 m3 after I got my first job out of college. I dropped a stupid amount of money getting the m3 to my preference of reliable and presentable which took me a while to recover from. I still dream about driving this car and downshifting on PCH. This car will forever hold a special place in my heart and has completely changed the way I look at cars.
Interlagos is my 2nd favorite bmw blue. I had 2 avus blau 95 m3s.
E90/2 M cars are probably peak BMW sound perfection ❤️ (in the modern era)
We need an ASMR video of this car doing fly by's and other outside audio :) Just 15 minutes of pure audio near tunnels and wide open throttle 😊
Music during work and ASMR gives people AIDS...
The S85 V10 would beg to differ
@@heyhayhay247 Yeaaaah, maybe. Put in the wrong car and transmission though. Mate that engine to something that can row through gears and a lighter car would be a fun build to see. Get on it Speed Academy!
Actually wait, the M6 had a manual?
@davetbrunner Both the M5 and M6 had manual options. My M5 scaled at 4,050 pounds. The M6 is slightly lighter around 3,900 pounds while the E9Xs weigh between 3,700-3,750 pounds.
I wanna see you guys get a Lexus IS-F for comparison. That 5.0 sounds so good too
I had a 2008 E90 M3, but with manual. Was my absolutely favorite car thus far of all I have owned. It was an amazing daily for 5 years, costs notwithstanding. Mine had a Recaro child seat in the back that my daughter loved.
every time i hear from you guys: "sreten" or "m539 restorations" fills me with joy he s THE goat ! bmw guru.
great vid again boys!
True definition of IYKYK.
Still hoping for an ISF build
Glad to see this car getting some more love. The ride height looked fine to me.
12:31 BMW's don't rust because they leak oil everywhere (I have an e46 m3)
Self applicating underseal
Sounds like you just don't replace gaskets. I have a e30 325i a e34 540i and a f15 x5 and none of them leak
They come with rust prevention tech from factory!!!little did I know
Well put some parts in it and u will be good .
@@eptdy Yeah, I don't get the "it just leaks" mentality either. Oil leak? Fix it. Engine light? Fix it. There's no mental gymnastics to car maintenance.
Watching the beginning, with the brushed VS-5RS track wheels, and having you say you were trying to figure out wheels? I thought to myself, what are you doing?! You have the right wheels! They just aren't on the car! Then the black ones... On that paint color, those are choice. 19" look good posing at Cars N Coffee, but for ride, handling, and ability to handle the occasional pothole, 18" FTW. Plus, a little bit meatier sidewall looks better, IMO.
Sidewall for the win.
Check a little further into the muffler. There is the 2pipe and the 4 pipe mod. Some cover 2 of the perforated pipes and some cover all four pipes in there. Yours may have the 2 pipe mod.
As a BMW fan, I love this build and the dedication despite what the haters say.
I don't hate it, I just hate walking for necessity instead of exercise.
It’s not hating if the car is an unreliable money pit. Just the truth.
I would probably drive the car into a ditch instead of dive into a 15k engine swap on a 25k car with a smile on my face.
Nice mature build.
The induction noise! 👌
The exhaust bracket(hanger) that you were struggling @16:20, you should remove the bracket from the car, that should make the installation a little smoother.
When I did my rear exhaust, I just unbolted the rear exhaust hanger from the car. That was on the coupe, so not sure if it's the same on the 4 door. The 2 pipe mod with standard exhaust setup, is really a good compromise. Great series this one, you even showed the reality of the rob bearings for our viewing pleasure. Great work as always guys.
I have an E85 V10 M6 so I can appreciate the sound of those ITB's!!! Love the new rims, looks great and sounds great!
Awesome review! We're part of the Britax family, so thank you for the feature!
That is my dream spec E9x M3 - well done Pete with the sound mods, absolute perfection.
You being happy with the sound/application is all that really matters for YOUR car. I’m a BIG fan of YOU doing what YOU want to do with YOUR car…. Screw any haters. Others dislike for whatever reason, in regards for what someone who OWNS their OWN car, wants, is what matters. Anything past that is jealously, or envy, and we know how well that serves us. Car sounds amazing, and your choices have created a car that most will never (sadly) understand.)
These are the kinda videos I love from you guys(along with all of the others😂) I love to see the builds come back and honest opinions after driving them for awhile.
That looks soo so good! I'm in love.
Love this E90 content. Could listen to it all day
Thanks for making me want to buy one of these even more ❤❤
Absolutely love my e90
Everyone has their own opinion on the car but once you own it and get to drive it how you want, it speaks for itself.
Super raw and forgiving chassis! Will admit I’m set up for failure with how expensive the engine replacements are but I’ll live lol.
I usually don't like black wheels, but those look so much better than the TE37s on this car. Interesting idea for the exhaust tips too!
Love this car. One of my favorites on the channel. I love Honda and BMW.
We need a B8 S4 next.
7:29 I frequently do the same thing, probably does very little to reduce inhaled dust but it makes me feel better, lol
So much better.. looking and sounding
Just did a similar mod to my e46 m3 by adding an additional Ar20 resonator to tone down exhaust note. This in preparation for a Eventuri airbox for more induction goodness.
You guys mentioned it in a few episodes but i really think a Lexus ISF will be a great build series. A 2012 in Obsidian or Granite Mica with PPE headers, an X pipe exhaust and some decent tyre's.
As an e92 m3 owner i love this
If you want to stop the oil cap from leaking don’t turn the stock cap upside down. We figured that one out at the dealership many years ago. No more leak from the cap anyway lol
The e90m3 is the true successor to the e39m5. The lines and tail look much better than the e92.
Being an e90m3 owner for 10years I could not agree more 👍🏽
Yeah, that's not how that works...
@@BrianSuerooh! I’m so envious!
Facts
Thanks for sharing the build, Pete! Love what you’ve done with this one.
Your build spec is great and the car looks almost like mine as I have the oem black 359m wheels for summer wrapped with Conti Extreme SportContact tires as well on my SG E90 M3. I put Bilstein B6 and eibach springs and for awhile it was a bit high for the first couple hundred miles, it has settled down and is perfect height for NYC streets. On a side note, if anyone has CCC/CIC Nav and dailies their car, i can't recommend mr12volt enough, its transformed the livability having CarPlay on any trip, Especially since BMW has discontinued Real Time Traffic on our models.
How far is my favorite episode on the entire channel? This is such an incredibly awesome car.
Love this video! Keep the BMW M3 content coming and be sure tuned in.
Looks awesome! Need the IND black painted BMW roundels (not the fully blacked ones) to get rid of that little but of chrome left on the center caps and emblems!
Great to see that car living in it's happy place. A grin inducing daily driver that is comfy.
God that engine sounds so incredible!
The standard exhaust system sounds great. 19"s would have looked more fitting. Space Grey is 🔥
19's might look better, but you'd lose performance
For a street car the performance loss would be negligible. The ride quality would be reduced slightly on 19"s but with wide tyres like that, there's still so much sidewall.
The absolute best ending to this video would have been Pete seeing a check engine light turn on during his closing monologue😅. Great vid guys. I want an M3 now but common sense will keep me from getting one!
I have the exact same setup with the Eventuri plenum, Evolve mid pipe and Dinan exhaust. you can still hear a lot of induction noise.
The crank pulley bolt on my turbo E46 just about fell out yesterday taking the pulley with it. Been wondering why the new crank seal had been leaking recently 😂
Love this car love when you guys highlight the euro cars please get an S60R/V70R next something swedish a saab even
I just bought an e90 (not a V8 unfortunately) and I find the size of the car to be perfect. And the feel behind the wheel is so good.
You've got a really solid build, PT! Those Apex wheels look great, too. I gotta comment on the Bilstein dampers pronunciation. The last half of the name is pronounced stein like the the beer mug.
I miss my E92 335i, but it had almost 200K km on it when I sold it after 7 years. I replaced it with a Camaro SS 1LE, and I did the OEM+ with my Apex rims and Chevy center caps as well.
Can you see out of the Camaro? 😅
@@TML34 Only Forward. And even then, it's limited.
Nv auto looks like a really nice shop. Clean, well organized, nice equipment
Love the E90
Just as these were coming to market new, I had the opportunity to drive one at an autocross, wet skid pad and absolutely thrash it on BMW’s performance center track. BMW’s aren’t my thing, but it was amazing.
she sounds amazing!
Just keep it off the track, Peter! 😂 No wot pulls until the oil is hot and then 5 hail Mary’s just in case.
M for Motorsports, no? 🙂
I love the new wheels, kinda wish they were 19’s though
Maybe they opened up the muffler to repack it.
The induction noise make it sound like a hovercraft, almost. Nice build!!
Crazy how the oem brakes on e90 M3 are single piston. Time for a BBK!
Not needed unless you do long track days regularly.
@@zacharyparis No performance car like an e9x M should have single piston calipers. The Lexus ISF and Mercedes C63 brakes are superior. BMW failed here imo.
@sdlausen1 I don't entirely disagree from an aesthetic stand point, but they have two piece rotors and the single piston calipers are aluminum. It could certainly be worse. They haul the car down really well, but they can't handle track duty.
Single wall exhaust tips are making a comeback!
A lot of people seem to not know this, but the OEM M3/M4 backbox acts as a diffuser and when you remove it for aftermarket exhaust, you essentially mess the aerodynamics of the car
Love the E90 content. You guys should really make a trip down to the Poconos for mpact if you enjoy BMWs.
Honestly loved the silver on silver combo with the TEs
I'm not trying to be a hater but the screw in funnel is exactly the kind of thing I would expect for this car. The original BMW design was a leaky so its replaced with a 4 piece cap and adapter system.
I like the 80's BMWs. Easy to work on and beautiful. Swap a coyote in there and you have everything.
Yeah that summed up nicely everything I dislike about BMWs. Its an oil cap FFS.
Ive driven both, a 2023 pp2 gt 6 speed, I prefer this car and that's saying a lot considering Ford had 15 years to finally make a comparable engine.
@@ttt69420 So the BMW that costs more to buy and maintain feels better than a Mustang? Wouldn't it only be saying something if it was the other way around?
@@c0c0asauce A mustang gt is a 60k car. A miata is 33k. This car is not expensive.
@@ttt69420 This used BMW is a $20k-$30k USD. I bought a running Miata for $300.
Thank you ❤
You guys should build an IS-F and put it against this
Looks great 👍🏽 exhaust tone is a little on the tame side but I totally understand for the sake of the kiddos 😅
i really liked the machined finish on the other apex's, black is going out of fashion right now and oh boy are they a pain to clean , specially satin black.
The stock mufflers were a good decision specially when you spent all that money on what i assume is a very expensive intake system and boy does it sound nice
Are the front brakes a 2 piston calipper? if so its very dissapointing for that type of car ...
Good luck with that engine , you probably going to need it🤣
My love-hate relationship with my E90 M has led me to sell it. It's such an awesome, true driver's car, but also a finicky money pit. I've spent a ton modding and maintaining but I'm never satisfied and always chasing another issue. I'll regret it but time to move on.
My youngest brother has had a few bmws over the last 10+ years starting with a '99 540i v8. Aside from leaky gaskets/seals it was somewhat reliable but the later gen 330s he had were absolute money pits. And water pumps that throw trouble codes and put the car in limp mode?? Give me a break....
I'm sponsored by apex and to say I love their wheels are an understatement. They've been amazing. The sm10rs would have definitely looked better. Both are fully forged
Another great video! I daily an F80 m3 with two car seats for my little ones as well. Amazing cars for dads! Have you considered the xhp transmission software?
Long live the E9x! Can't wait to get one soon.
TE37s look so good on E9X M3's. The colour just needs to be changed like you said. Either Black or Mag Blue.
What’s with Pete’s mic? He’s installed his own resonator… lol
FINALLY a non Honda related content
👍for the sound 👏👏
My favourite love euro cars especially v8 sedans
Love the wheels.
I was under the impression that that BMW factory brakes that grneration and older wasnt all that good. I would love to know how those factory replacement work out.
Shoulda got the cow print Britax seats! I had matching ones in my M back in those days. 😂
Have you thought about doing American Racing exhaust?!
If you're in manual mode and disable DSC, you gain a 6th bar on the DCT drivelogic intensity
I have the same setup on one of my bmw. Just bought a eBay protector headlight for my other bmw. It’s sad the eBay is being the output 😩 not knocking the product just stating my I experience
Tried any "OE"/non sport ceramic pads? I've used Textar epad & TRW dtec pads on different cars and they work fine for commuting etc, low dust and low wear on discs.
Oh how I've missed this e90 M3, I think I would have kept my e9X m3 if it were the e90 instead of e92.
Maturing is realizing that Induction noise is better than Exhaust noise
I don't know what is going on with your mic audio but it keeps spiking in this video and I couldn't watch past 6:09, which is a bummer because I love BMWs, even though I've only driven the one.
I am running 305/30 19 back and 285/30 19 front on a 2013 e93 m3
Are the exhaust tips from O-Touch or Pink Cherry ?
How can they offer a lifetime replacement warranty on wear items like brakes? Are they priced such that you’re essentially buying two sets so the next set is free?
Hello, do you guys still have the style 21s for sale ?
you need swift springs
Black wheels are wrong. When they were silver or original color it was spot on!
Need more integra type r content
This and the f80 are my favourite m3's
I can't remember if it was done before or not but when he was doing exhaust he should have cracked open the shielding and checked out the Drive shaft support bearing. IMHO. If he didn't do it already.
Trying to decide on the new apex mr10 in gold vs mr8 in black on my grey 235. This video has me leaning to black now
Best bmw ever made
You the man those wheels have to go. 😎
Funny that with all new brakes nobody changes the brake clips (as per manual) Zimmerman en textar are not OE for BMW 😉
I'm pretty sure rusted front fenders come factory installed for Alberta delivered Audi's though 😅
Didn’t think I’d be witnessing a colonoscopy in this video, but hey I’m here for support.
