Own an E90 2008 M3 6MT. It still turns heads and get comments every time I pull it out of the garage to stretch its legs. Have taken multiple adults across country trips, daily driver back in the day and I would say it is the most balanced car I have owned or driven. It is a luxury sports car. It is civil and smooth when you want it to be and it carves up roads in fashion or like a cheetah when you want. I agree, this is one of the examples of German cars when they were built right and honestly before they got to technological and drive themselves. You still drive this car, especially if you put it in M Mode to turn off all the assisting software.
I also owned an E92 335 for 7 years before I picked up the M3 and I think you nailed it with this review. You summarized the uniqueness of the E92 M3 pretty well and you're spot on when you say that the faster you drive, the more stable and predictable it feels. The way the car handles is truly confidence inspiring.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Having owned a e92 335 as well, I was so shocked by how different the M3 was. Sure the 335 can be tuned to make a significant amount of HP but it just doesn’t feel as balanced as the M3. Thank you once again for the support.
I've watched nearly every e92 m3 video bc I'm thinking about one. This is probably the best review I've seen. Perfectl tempo, good amount of detail, great attitude.
It’s the truth when you push this car it feels more planted and stable. Everything tightens up. It’s very confidence inspiring. I love mine every time I go for a ride I fall in love with it again
My step son's got one. It's a complete animal. I nearly sh*t myself when he took me for a ride. Incredible and unbelievable I've never experienced anything like that. He's right about the brakes and handling. It will stop on a tanner!!!!!!!!
Owned a M3 e92 for ten years from 2 year old saved 35k, basically 35k depreciation in 2 years unbelievable. No my weekend end garaged M3 is appreciating. Win win. Had rods changed under BMW warranty and recently changed alternators via main dealer. I’m absolutely in love with my factory frozen grey M3. Only use a car on weekends so it’s absolutely perfect for me. Still think it’s the best M3 ever…….LOVE IT more and more
Good video! I am a very proud owner of a e90 m3 that I daily! I cannot see me driving anything else. It brings joy to me every time that I drive it. It does give me any issues whatsoever, and I I have 190k and counting. Beautiful
Said it before and I’ll keep saying it, last na m3, last coop/convertible m3, only v8 m3... what’s not to love❤️ owned mine a few yrs, valved exhaust a must! Great daily driver and a total animal when pushed, dct, titanium exhaust, roof down, best soundtrack ever. I may have other cars in the future but it will be alongside this one, hope everyone goes electric cos then more fuel for me to burn, 16MPG SMILES PER GALLON BABY!
I just discovered just how amazing these cars are and I've been looking for one that I love for the past couple weeks. I'm definitely nowhere near ready to purchase a new car, but within the next year-year and a half, do you think there's any tips or tricks that I need to know before committing to one?
It’s very important to properly maintain these vehicles and replace the parts with genuine whenever possible. Look out for the rod bearing issues (it affect a huge huge percentage of this car). If all is done right, let your engine warm up and then open her up. From there on, just enjoy! Thank you for the support.
Yea, if the rod bearings haven't been changed, change them! Regardless of how well it was looked after and serviced, go for increased clearance bearings btw, don't bother with OEM ones. I changed the bearings in my 08 one with ~73k miles, all the top shells were through to copper! (It was regularly serviced btw).
No sir. The E92 M3 is a legend that garners the respect from the best of the best. If anything it’s a real drivers car which is saying a lot more when you see who the typical lambo driver tends to be lol.
I’ve driven the E46 quite a bit and I completely agree with you! The E92 can be problematic but it’s quite the thrill to drive, on the other hand, the E46 is essentially a Go-Cart for the road. If I had to pick… E46 any day!!!! Wayyyyyyy better balance and such a joy to rev.
Enjoy driving your antique car. That is more of a vintage car than a modern car that you’d drive day in day out. This looks better than most cars on the road today in mid 2023.
If youre reading this, stay away from any BMW, they are dog shit. And youll be paying a premium to get them fixed. Stay away! I owned a 335i and an M3. Both of them were horrible for reliability.

It reminds me of a Porsche 911.

Good review! I had E90 320d, E91 335d in past years, 2020 got my E92 M3, will keep it forever. Like E9x generation.
Thank you! Congrats on the purchase.

Wow thats a scary number!! What year ? Dct or 6 speed?
I just bought my E92 M3 this same exact year and color. Freaking amazing. I love it.
Overall great review! I'm thinking of getting a 2009 M3 E90 with only 60K miles on it, your video made me wanna buy it today lol, cheers from Mexico!

It’s not the only/first V8 M3 tho 🧐
Great review. This car is in my list of next buys.
Thank you for the support !
Great editing! Love the music in the intro ;) hehe
Hmm yes, I wonder who produced the opening track... 😝. Thanks for watching!
3:47. These are NOT competition wheels. Competition wheels are style m359. The spokes are different.
Nice quality video
Thank you!

You deserve more followers and at I first I thought you were making fun of Doug demuro
0:07 are we just gonna ignore that lambo on the highway
Finally someone who noticed!!! Lambo driver must have been laughing at me when he saw the burnout 😂
No sir. The E92 M3 is a legend that garners the respect from the best of the best. If anything it’s a real drivers car which is saying a lot more when you see who the typical lambo driver tends to be lol.
"Michelin Power Sport"... I must get those ;)
Yeahhhh kinda felt like an idiot when I was re-watching my footage 😅. Sorry about that.
Did you say V10?
I’m about to trade my mustang for one tomorrow I’m so stoked
Update????
Didn't 09+ get all the better tech?
I found a 2008 with 122k miles for $18.500,
2008 , 16k? Worth it 103k miles
No, that V8 has more problems than I care to deal with... The E46 is far more fun and far better balanced

What's the best BMW coupe to buy ???
m3 or m6
M3, m2 and m4
Nice review, but try to work on with some tumbnails, this one was basic, just try something more clickbaiting

Lol.... "LSD doing its job".... as he down shifts and brakes into a corner.....powers out "TC takes most of it away"..... ummmm........
Your "mags" don't look so amazing with rust covered lug nuts.
How reliable is this after 120k miles?
Hopefully reliable enough lol. But I really have no idea. Maybe with good maintenant you can squeeze some good mileage out of these cars.
Not good at all
Every machine is as good as it’s preventive maintenance. Not damage control but PM. Mine is 182k miles 💪
