I get my hands on yet another BMW M legend, the BMW M3 GTS V8. I didn't fully understand this car when it was launched back in 2010, but ten years on after having the opportunity to spend some time behind the wheel, it all starts to make sense.
Please stay safe everyone!
Thanks for watching as always, see you at at the next video!

No thank you, great content lately.
You’re getting some great cars on the channel mate. Any news on when you can get your hands on M2 CS? Or even just a good look around one.
You bet. Good content
🙏👊💯
@Joe Achilles, the guys at Savage Garage in the states would love to add that orange beast to their collection (albeit needs to be left side drive). Maybe u can be middle man between BMW M & Savage Garage to make that happen? Keep up the great work (seen the new Alpina wagon for 2020?)
I'm glad that I grew up in an era where these kinds of cars were my dream cars, not Tesla's and 4 pot AMG's and 43890 catalytic converter sport cars
Okay millennial? I agree that this type of car is more interesting but this is dumb gatekeeping
me too
I'm gen Z. And trust me no one is falling for 4 pot AMGs
Sold my 997.1 GT3 RS for the GTS (was based and working in Singapore where there were four rhd) . Over 70 track days in the RS and a similar amount in the GTS. Still own the GTS to this day (mine is number 66), next week it is being shipped back to Australia where I have returned to retire. The best track car I have ever driven. The perfect balance of old and new. For info there were only 135 ever made. And two were white. Of the135 made, 25 were rhd.
This and the LFA will always be my dream cars
Only a true enthusiast would choose those as their dream cars 😎👍
Get an M3 and do the conversion!
E63 M6 also
Same here
@@589salamence yeah gotta do something like dmperformance
I love the traditional orange color on everything bmw, they used that because its it less tiring for your eyes at night.
As an e92 M3 owner for almost 150k miles in 7 yrs and counting I adore this platform. The GTS and CRT are the Crown Jewels from factory. So happy to see some current lime light is given to the GTS for fans.
I want one so badly, what a beautiful car.
Jack ///M240i 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Joe, would love to see you get your hands on an M4 GTS (and find a track) but give us a road review too. Keep it up mate! BMW fan boys are lovin it man
Loving the BA Silver Card flex @15:18 :) Another great video
I had an M3 E92 comp pack great cars
I have been daily driving one for 6 years now. Just passed 100.000 km. Still love it to bits. Only time I hate it, is when I am the petrol station!
Love seeing the appreciation for the excellence on your face! True enthusiast. Reason why we keep watching your videos. Well done again Joe.
I found the slower dct shift speeds on my E92 useful on track in the rain to prevent it spinning the rear wheels on an upshift. And preventing me shitting myself.
Revitt had that same feeling too, until I got the Dinan DCT software upgrade and made a massive difference.
How can you not like the classic BMW orange interior illumination? I love the E9x interiors especially without SatNav, it’s a brilliant layout.
Ive only heard people compliment how nice they still look in 2020. He had to find something to complain about but their interior is classic. No big nav systems, last gen of minimal computing tech. I drive an 07 323i and ppl think im driving around in a $25 000 new car.. was $5000 lol 201k km, 170k bought.
Joe thanks for this vid, it took me down memory lane! The e92 for me is arguably the best looking M3 ever (yeah I know the e46 guys will come for me). It still hasn't dated despite being many years old. I've had the opportunity to own the South African equivalent, the M3 Frozen Edition which had AC Schnitzer bits (BMW SA did not get a GTS allocation so they partnered with AC Schnitzer to make 25 examples of the Frozen as a response). That car scarred me for life (in a good way), I have not been the same man since. There was a certain magic about that car that words can never explain. It is the reason i have never been able to bond with the F8x generation. That screaming high revving v8 is truly something else, you feel it in your chest, you sang it in your mind long after you've parked the car. Neighbours, dogs, and other cars' alarms hate the cold starts. Joggers take cover with a single loud downshift 😭. I had to reluctantly sell at some point, but have been looking for one since. I just cannot seem to move on.
Hope you find one, I'm in Pretoria and looking to find a low milage e90 M3 sedan lci soon as I sort my finances...
Finally I see you driving an E92 M3 GTS- my favourite BMW. This is a real sports car💪🏅👏👏
Oh. My. God. Dream car. That and the CRT. I would take this any day of the week and twice on Sunday’s over an M4 GTS.
There’s a couple cool hidden functions in the car- you can be in 7th gear cruising and you hold the downshift pedal and put your foot to the floor and it’ll instantly change into the lowest gear possible.
Also there’s a hidden sixth setting (you mentioned the standard 5 levels of shift speed) fastest gear shift change mode
Best car ever. If your buying one, get on that’s had the throttle actuators dome or budget for them to go cause they always go.
Great video. I agree with how this car wasnt appreciated enough. The car is just so raw! I love it
It should not always be about the numbers.
Great video. I had no idea how rare these are, 1 of 9 is quite incredible. So you've gone from the 6 cyl of the E46 M3 CLS to this V8 , the natural progression would be to have a nice and a bit nostalgic drive of a V10 (m5 or m6) an engine we'll most probably never see or hear again in new cars.
I have a American Lime Rock Park - Fire Orange - normally powered M3. That color works on these cars!!!
If I won the lottery, one of the first cars I'd buy (or try to buy) would be the E90 M3 CRT which is basically this GTS in saloon form.
The E92 M3 is my favorite version. In my opinion BMW reached the peak with Bangle. In fact, I sold my 2016 M2 to buy the M2 CS... but in the end I went for a 2012 1M with just 2400 miles... and paid as new. Anyway thanks for your video 👍
1M forever ❤ got mine super cheap in Mexico early 2023. Still drool over the e92 tho
Brakes are the Brembo GT kit, interesting to hear your thoughts on them. I've seem a few m3 GTS at the ring, they look right at home.
Interesting video and a nice change of direction during these restricted times giving us your take on some BMW heritage cars. 👍👍
The issue I have with this car and somehow this doesn't apply to the e46 csl mainly due to your aforementioned price increase over the original e92. It just feels like the car is for the track, which means you are far better off with a regular e92 and spending some money on properly sorted suspension, brakes, safety equip, even tune up the engine if that's what you want. You are left with probably a faster car than the GTS with money in your pocket for trackdays and nurburgring excursions.
Great video, really getting into the swing with these latest videos it seems.
I’ve always wanted the m3 e92 because the v8 and how great it sounds. This one is like taking the e92 up grade 15 on a scale of 10
There was/is someone who owns one of these GTS in Frome (Froome), Somerset. It is on an 11 plate. Can't miss it in bright orange with the black wing. Cheddar Close off Brunel Way. Not lived there since 2014 but I very much bet they still have it.
Great to see the BMW heritage fleet getting an outing, would LOVE to see you do a vid with their gorgeous E9 CSL Batmobile, I've sat in that car at Farnborough and it's just such a special thing
You can buy M3 E92 for 20k and do this same mods for next 20k you spend 40k having the same car performance and saving 135k :D
For this money only GT3 RS
this is way better than a porsche that they made 10,000s of. gt3 has no sauce, a rich old mans car.
You wont get the brakes 😄
Jack njones yeah 20k wont get all that . But upgraded 4.4l yes . There is 1 in our group upgraded 4.6L supercharged
what about buy M3 E92 for 20k and spend 155k on mods, better monster than GT3 RS
You all speak like Forza tuners.
“Strengthened tranny”
What the fucking hell are you talking about. The GTS DCT has a slightly bigger pan for increased fluid capacity, and an extra cooler, along with a tune. Nothing strengthened about it.
You don’t need a supercharged car to chase GT3s, a properly tuned stroker 4.6 with schrick cams puts down over 500wph.
You’ll be chasing 991.2 RS with that power.
Love these cars. I've just bought a 2008 E92 M3 manual and plan on keeping it a long time. Would have an E92 M3 GTS in my dream car garage for sure.
You should try to review an M3 CRT but it will be bloody hard to get one of those! Maybe BMW UK has one?
The vast difference in your emotions between this and the CSL kinda prove the point about road cars. Too much power is pointless, fully usable power is sublime. Well done..and nice editing.
Nice Video of a really special car!
But it’s really funny that some one coming from a 2 Series Say’s the Interieur quality of the E9x series is bad 😂. I mean the 2 series including the M2 and even the next gen 3series (f30) uses much more cheap materials and do not deal near as solid as the E9x series !
Am I the only one that loves the e92 interior
me to everything is where it needs to be
This is the content we want to see. CSL and now this?! Excellent.
Absolutely stunning mate.
I think only the M3 E46 CSL edge's it for "Want one" factor.
Awesome vid Joe. Would love a little "just the noise" segment where you can really listen to the engine /exhaust for a minute or two while you're driving it. Keep up the great content!
Congrats on your 100k subs, you've worked hard for it so well done mate! Keep up the good work!
Another great video Joe! Here's a question for you - someone may have already asked you this - would you have this or an M4 GTS? Also what area did you film this? Some parts looked kinda familiar.
Cheers buddy! Hmm .... Difficult question mate, I've only ever driven a M4 GTS on circuit with you that time and it felt amazing, but I hear they're way too stiff for the road, maybe this because it's a V8 😬 Shot near Alton mate 👊
Joe Achilles Ah ok, I reckon you should try to cover the M4 GTS next then
Amazing M3, but I’d rather have a Normal M3comp and the M3CSL that you reviewed the other day.
@ E92 fanboys always make me laugh when they say "E92 is the best M3 ever" while BMW has always been known for their inline 6s.
Jon E that’s sad you bought an e46 and didn’t even understand the point of the car smh they’re not meant to be fast although it’ll still beat a 2020 Subaru but they’re meant for the actual driving experience and for the handling and cornering
What a stunning car!! You need to do more of these modern classic videos, that is if you can get your hands on them.
Swiss Chris has some great videos of him lapping his old GTS around the Nurburgring.
Cool video, and I've been on some of those roads, nice roads :D. Btw, you've got the figure wrong for the M3s weight. If the GTS is 70 kg lighter than the regular M3, that makes it 1530 kg DIN kerb weight, not ~1600.
Another great video, thanks to you have been in touch with TL and just ordered my M135i. Cheers.
Joe great videos lately! Interesting rare content which you dont see everyday. Love to watch videos like this.
Most underrated car BMW has ever produced. I remember people on pistonheads laughing at the price and I challenged them to build their own cheaper, you couldn't. Very special car when you examine the engineering, not the numbers on paper.
Edit: I just looked at the number it was built for and it just beat the 997.1 gt3 rs, in the hands of the same driver, around the Nordschleife so it was a rival for the Porsche.
I recall (Harris possibly and a few other TV Journos) comparing it with the GT3 (perhaps RS) of the time and if memory serves right the Porsche was a lot better on track and cost the same or less...somet like that
Another great video Joe,those roads look fantastic where abouts was this ?
Love your work mate, can we expect a video on your thoughts on the new 4 series?
Totally smashing it Joe and what a dream week for you👍
great video just one point. if you can afford one of these cars you would not care if it did 10 mpg I have a stage 1 335d and that is in the low 20 mpg when you are on it.and I love it.
I remember seeing one at the Nurburgring last year when I was there looks epic with the half cage too 😍 would love to drive that ❤️ reminds me a little of the CS I drove! Loved that. Great video fella as always 👍😎🙌
Strangely here in Brazil this colour (or very very similar) is a factory colour option I believe. Doesn't need to be a GTS version. I have seen many standard M3's with this colour.
They made 135 worldwide actually. You forgot to mention the macralon rear side windows and rear windscreen on the lighter cars.
Even though people initially hate on BMW interiors, I think they age very well compared to other manufacturers.
Awesome car, crazy to think you can pick up the standard ones so cheap now compared to these rare gts ones
Saw one of these the other week. Absolutely incredible
One very jealous subscriber right here 👋haha! Glad you can make videos like these Joe to share with us all. Great work👍
Will you try to drive an M3 CRT?
Another Great vid Joe ! Still for me as good as that car sounds there is just something unforgettably special about the E46 M3 CSL that for me trumps this GTS
Rick G
What a car, would love to see it on track, really like the video, a rare thing indeed a real change from the boring stuff the manufacturers are turning out these days !!!!
I saw this last week in the Shell around the corner from BMW Farnborough, don't know if it was with you at the time? It looked really good in the sun.
The content has went next level recently!
Great video Joe! My favourite car will always be the e46 m3 csl so that last video of yours was fantastic!! Could you ask BMW UK to see if they got a e36 m3 gt for you to review?
beast mode engaged! I wonder if it was at Goodwood FoS, shame if it wasn't but one to look out for in the future.
It was back in 2010
@@JoeAchilles1 shame I didn't start going until 2013... maybe it's on a highlights video
@@JoeAchilles1 I started looking for it but instead got drawn into this M4, which I did see at FoS, damn it was impressive. ua-cam.com/video/zwRbMKzqz7w/v-deo.html
Just looks like a pure drive, hydraulic steering, n/a engine, drive to the rear. Simplistic but beautiful driving, I’d take this over an f80 CS all day long.
Excellent videos Joe!!
Any chance of getting your hands on a BMW 2002 Batmobile to review, they are a beauty and have always intrigued me?
👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙🇬🇧 🇩🇪
Great video as always! Which one would you choose to keep - the E46 CSL, or the E92 GTS?
OK Joe so I finally did it - I subscribed :) You are getting some mega metal - that CSL and now this :)
Lovely review joe ! Can’t wait for you to drive the M2 CS and the new X5/6M comp reviews. #enthusiast>journalists.
Hi Joe, love the content and commentary.
Stock E92 M3 is 95 percent as epic for one tenth of the price ! Im on my second. V8 or be late 😎
Joe demonstrates, once more, he is a great car reviewer. It is a perfect video to watch, listen, and enjoy.
Compared to the e46 M3 CSL's video, I felt less enthusiasm from Joe in this one. It was a bit more "clinical" which I think makes sense. If I were to pick one, I'd go for the CSL even if the GTS is a better car everywhere it matters.
Hi Joe another epic review, I believe calipers are brembo gt.
Question is if you were on a track and had the choice of this or the e46 cal to drive which would you go for ?
The carbon plenum on these from evolve sound epic!
I love BMW E92 M3
Saw that you were at 99.9k subs. Hope I’m the 100k follower lol
What a crazy bmw I love the fact that BMW make Car like these👍
Fair play to you for getting into BMW’s good books enough to have a go in all these rare cars, must feel proud. Nice length too, video length I mean obvs 🙄
Brilliant profile photo and comment 👍
Even in the normal E92 M3, this is one of the great modern engines. I had a few days in one last year, and the sound when you downshifted and then gave it some wellie was glorious! Don’t make ‘em like that anymore ...
The satin black touches are very nice
The E92 is still the prettiest car BMW ever made. Judging by the G22, it will be for some time.
Great video as always, but wouldn't you prefer a 997 GT3 rs?
Such a good looking car! Am I right in saying Gercollector also has one?
Brakes are Brembo GT with bespoke BMW rotors, I think.
That engine though 😳
There’s one for sale currently in California there asking $179,000
The last true M engines. Great video, great car.
Lovely car. I had #072 first .. Henry covered that one in his carfection video.
really looks the part that! one of the great sounds of any car!
Insane I’ve actually got the chance to drive this car! A master chief on my naval base won an auction to even purchase the car.
beytek is putting one of thm gearboxes in his k20 turbo RX7!!!
If only the current m5/m8 had that v8 sound track 😩
Had a normal e92 m3 a few year ago. Best car I've ever owned or probably will ever own lol. year after i sold it the guy rang me up and said do you want to buy it back its been off the road since he got it cos he couldn't afford the insurance. Wish i hadn't sold it to him lol
Orange beast is perfect name I guess instead of e92 m3 gt3
Quick question, are the brakes any good? 😎
Nice review of great car Joe.
Orange a bit load for me though
Great video Joe, thanks for sharing this :)
Not sure about this ultra rare e92 but e92 with gthaus dtm body kit will be 1 in my dream 5 car garage. ❤️
This or the CSL, which one would you keep if offered? I think I’d go for the CSL myself
Sounds like you much preferred the CSL
AWESOME REVIEW!!! GREAT CHANNEL
My lord , a thing of beauty
