Use me as a “I knew the e46 was going to be #1” button
i was going to like the comment but it had 46 likes so ill just leave this comment xD sincerely, an e46 driver.
Farabeats lol. I’m an e46 driver, also. Which model is yours...If you don’t mind me asking.
V-Dawg of course I don’t, all I do is talk about bmws XD I have a 2004 325i in black. I’m on my way to restoring the whole car to how it felt brand new. All new everything.
E 46 m3 GTR from my opinion
I think from my opinion the E46 M3 GTR should be number 1
I’d have definitely had the M2 competition in there, it’s the only M car since the e46 that has captured that magic 👍🏼
You haven't driven an e63 M6, that v10 will make you change your mind
Lewis Jeffreys especially the manual.
Diégo Bandle m6 is a big fat boat, nothing like the light and agile Ms of the past
1m coupe is pretty similar and probably better to drive since it is lighter
The disrespect to the M2 is real, it can easily be in the top 5 and no one would complain
Nailed the green screening! 😜
Sure did
Whazz uuuuuuuupppp
Hi yan
ua-cam.com/video/SSljH1VkXuM/v-deo.html
Yiannimize hello
The V10 engine of the E60 is to date so legendary. I get goosebumps by only hearing the F1 sound.
top speed limiter removed 207 why does he say 190 here
Definitely feel the M2 Competition deserved a spot on this list.
Instead of the One Series M...
Good call!
Agreed
Yess
100%
Where is the e92 M3? I don’t think you like that car to much, driving slow in drag races and not in the list😂
Even the GTS model
E90 M3 CRT should absolutely be in the top 3. Even Henry Catchpole said it's "the ultimate M3". That says something!
Marcel Lukačić yeah for sure one of the e9x m3 needs to be in.
My bro has one it’s a super underrated m3, the only V8 too
Aqua Oz you mean the only mass produced m3 v8, it’s a wonderful car but without the e46 m3 gtr it wouldn’t exist today
the e92 m3 should’ve been on this list😕
Agreed
@@quackunicorn1629 e92 m3 competition is the best.....check out findingnick"s youtube
it looks like a majority of people in the comments are agreeing that the big car that was missed out on this list is the E92 M3 hmm...
You missed the glorious M3 E92! That V8 and nice combination with either the manual or DCT would have deserved a seat in the list.
My favorite M is the M3 E92
Yes
Same
🤢🤮🤮🤮
@@Respect-to-the-Engineers Mercedes is trash
oh, yessss! 😇
E39 M5 my personal favourite. E60 M5 incredible sound . I wish some how the E92 M3 made the list
Agree this cars of your choice is in my top 3
1M all the way. E30 M3 just a good.
Yep, just a good.
Obviously. 1 series m is the most driver focused.
1M is so overrated. Looks horrible. Same generation E92 miles better car and looks fantastic.
u mean the 325i…
3:49 we all are gonna ignore that car has only 1 mirror ?
Mihai Pavaloiu you only needed one that time!
😂😂😂😂
why you need two mirrors
It was not needed at that time
Ce faci mihăiță :))
M2 comp or atleast e92 M3 SHOULD have been included Mat!!
V8 M3 reving to 8000rpm which was biblically fast on track and still relatively reliable is defo good Mcar...
M2 comp is well loved by many big names in car industry...
Petr I just replaced my e46 M3 with one and wish I’d kept the e46 , it’s so dull in comparison
V8 m3 8400rpm🙂
@@jochemdekker7 bmw m3 gtr
Only 10 in the world
@@2702simmo I had also an E46 M3 and when I bought the E92, it was another world. The E46 was dull, the engine felt restricted. Every day of the week E92 instead of E46.
I like the normal M2 instead of the M2 Comp. it sounds so much better
Feel like the e92 should’ve been #1 the only m3 with a glorious v8...
A car that didn't make top 10 should be #1 ?
paul vicks yes
@@paulvicks1336 yes
Did you forget about the E46 GTR at 2000?
Maybe instead of the Z3M, sure. But never #1 lol
So pleased to see the E24 M6 coming second. I’ve owned mine since 1993 and I’ll never sell it. Best looking BMW in my opinion.
The e92 should’ve been in the top 3 it’s a beast
100% !
damn thats right
How can it make top 3 if it's not in the top 10? Scratching head
No its not a little bit tuned 335 beats the m3
Not reliable enough.
Awesome list, just wanted to see e92 m3 (only v8 m3) and the M2 comp
its not the only V8 M3. there was an E46 called the M3 GT-R with a 444hp V8 that competed in the 2001 LeMans race
Maybe the M2 hasn’t been long enough .. to say it was “The top 10 cars ever made”
Ironically the V8 disqualifies it. Legendary engine, but not fit for an agile ballerina. M2 off to a bad start with the numb steering, turbos,bit heavy
Zikie Tseka oh yeah, don’t know how I forgot about that legendary car
The E39 M5 is my favourite M5 they have produced! 👍🏻
lets start a riot against Matt Watson for skipping the M2 competition
Yep I love the m2
I know many people love the M2 Comp. I’m just struggling to understand why. Could someone just kindly help me see the other side?
2:08 How many of you noticed that no.9 was wrongly written as no.2
Me lol
Its basically second to last
Please do this with AMG and S/RS too🤔
Patrick N. Best Amg: C63 W204 either Black series or Edition 507

Cheers for keeping us entertained mat & carwow👍
Awesome video; the red M635CSi is my actual car! :)
I can’t believe I didn’t see one huge BMW grill in this whole video. The older BMW M bois beat the fat grill new bois
Dude its nice that BMW is having the big grill in the 7 series because apparently luxury car buyers want big chrome grills
@@nishitsinghbirman1923 Honestly I think the big grille was needed on the 7 even though its ugly. The previous generation just looked too much like a fatter 5 series.
M8 Competiton.: am i a joke to you?
@@pramay5116 I actually think the pre-LCI was an utterly beautiful and classy car, but yes, it did look a bit too similar to the G30 5 Series. LCI certainly looks like a flagship BMW limousine, but its looks are without doubt very divisive(I actually quite like it).
@@marcellukacic5221 Yeah, I think its acceptable on a flagship car, but it looks like they're putting a massive grille on the new 4 series and that just looks ridiculous. The 3 and 4 is where they make the most money, and its too big a risk to take on a more mainstream car.
I feel like m5 competition deserved a spot on that list
I feel like it should be the number one... it is a better car than the M8 for a lot less money so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be on there above it.
No it does not. Of the newer cars M3 CS and M2 Competition are better.
The x6m is great the m5 the m2 the m4 and the m8 all m cars are great but those are my favorites
@@peterhammer6915 The m5 competition is faster than the m8 competition bro and tge fastest sedan
@@massimorosu1903 Actually its been proven that the M8 Competition is faster than M5 competition. m.ua-cam.com/video/RpGLqvgwtFM/v-deo.html
Love your content carwow, you inspired me to start my own youtube channel.
Thank you for motivation.
BMW M made some great cars over the past years. Thinking of the M2, the M3 e92, Z4 M Coupé, M5 F90.
My love of cars stems from My old mans 635csi M, while I was growing up. He loved that car so much he used it as a daily driver and drove it hard. But without fail it'd get maintained and cleaned on Saturdays
And in the 15 odd years he owned it the most expensive problem was a snapped prop shaft.
The car was then donated to Beaulieu Motor Home when he died in 1999.
A car that has made a lasting impression on me and my family and still the only car that has made me hide under the dash through fear lol. Mind you my mates lancia delta hf turbo came close.
A true motoring idol
78KRS keep the car passion going man!
am sorry but i would have kept that car for another generation
That was a beautiful story sir...may he Rest in Peace
Your old man was and is still a legend!
My elderly mother just sold her 1987 version of the same car that she and dad bought new. I wish I had the dollars to keep it. It was a weapon.
I like the m5 f90 since it doesn't have that big grill and also looks one of the nicest bmws around and can still carry 4 people in it
SHUBHRA DAS 5 people actually
Personally I’m a big fan of the big grills and no, I’m not american 😂
I made my own top ten list and placed it at number 2. It is absolutely the best M car ever, overall. But I could not quite put the E46 behind it lol, that E46 is legendary, so I put E46 as number 1 and the M5 as number 2. The M5 won the world performance car of the year I think in 2018, thats how great it is
AMAZING List Matt!
Hey @Matt of @carwow great video. My fave is the E60 M5 V10. Also can you do a "Top 10 Best AMG cars" in addition to a "Top 10 Best RS" cars as well. Thanks
2:08 “in ninth place” *puts 2nd Instead*
The only and the best m car
ua-cam.com/video/H44i3nIFDr0/v-deo.html
ikr lol
7:50 the E60 M5 had a 7-speed SMG Transmission
And has a top speed of 205, not 190. What are Carwow doing??
Also it's 507HP, not 500.
In the states we got the e60 M5 switch a 6 speed
1 1 well it’s 500BHP or 507PS and the Brits uses BHP
@@nezinomasas It has 507 PS, that is 500 HP. There's a little difference between PS and HP
The Z3 M coupe is one of the most underrated cars when I was on holiday I saw one with an aftermarket exhaust it sounded holy.
More expensive cars,but nice and fast cars.
Best informational video.👌
Back in the 80's my mates dad had a 635csi, I was blown away by the looks, sadly as a 20 something year old, there was no way I would be able to afford one
buy it now? its still a insane car
Yeah, kinda how kids are blown away by the M8 looks today.
You can have my 1985 E24 635csi if you fancy fixing a load of rust 😀
Pete Lewis The only and the best m car

Do a buy
Where is M2????
I was going to say, that car is bad ass and im thinking of getting one
what M2? What does it won? how old is it? How does it look?
IT IS BELOW 3RD, below 4th, below 5th, So, why should it be added? I just Do not get it, it cannot be part of the list because it is TOP10 list, not TOP-50 ever made "M" machines
Tajwali Khan Get one so I can smash you in BMW X6m, then we talk about how much of a "beast" M2 is
@@mykolapelyp9065 I can't argue with people who drive SUVs. Sorry
I think the M2 Competition deserves a nod. Arguably one of the best contemporary M cars.
Hi Mat . Another good review.Thank you . I took my girlfriend to the hospital .I was driving her car , we parked in the underground car park all the lights in the car park where off.When we got back to the car the lights were still not on in the car park and parking was very tight cars close together , luckily her BMW has reverse assist .What a great device and it was the first time that i drove her car .BMW thank you.
E60 M5 without speedlimiter can go 210mph. I have one 🤓
Speedo or proper GPS timing gear. 210 is a lot for only 500bhp.
@@grovsey3656 gps was 334kmh 😁
Me: Literally researching M cars right now.
Carwow: Top 10 M cars, ten minutes ago.
Boom.
ua-cam.com/video/J1afN6pWICU/v-deo.html
The M760li definitely deserves a spot on that list !!! A phenomenal engine and out of this world performance for a car of that class, considering the weight and size.
Perfect list and very well deserved # 1!!!!!!!
Note: None of the ultimate driving machines are SUVs.
*Me coughs in Pajero, Patrol, Land Cruiser, Defenders, old G wagons, H1 and Wrangler.
Jonathan Santos Maybe ultimate machines, not ultimate driving machines
@@barlian09 I beg to disagree. I still think offroaders can be ultimate driving machines.
They just belong to a different place
@@jonathansantos2192 you're right, we need another video Mat about the ultimate off-roader, and I don't mean current day 'SUV' which can't go over some leafs.
Carwow: releases a video on best M cars
*Everyone liked that*
This was an awesome video
Wow! Awesome video Mat!😸
The e46 is by far the best driving experience
Nah that title belongs to the 1M. It's still the best M car ever made.
I own one. Not an m3, just a couple straight 6. The engine sound is absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah, when you got a manual
Bet you never even driven one just like everyone else who's liked your comment
I got the distinct feeling matt’s never driven the 1M.
Can we have a top 10 amg now
Yes Please!!!!
Yes
honestly before the 2003 e55 amg no one had ever heard of amg
Yes. It is going to be good.
I would definitely include the Z4M. :)
Hey @Mat.. I like how passionate you are about BMW.. Awesome video..
I had an E34 M5 in the mid '90s. Although the 0-60mph time wasn't amazing, the 80-150mph performance was epic. Did many trips up and down the Autobahn network. #Memories
You missed the E92 M3!
Yes
top 10 engine only. Car has an agile pig reputation amongst its siblings
e92 m3 little bit quicker than previously 5 generation - e39 m5. And its 9 years deifference. Why so love it? C63 was way better
@@Hellafast2uDude the m5 is always meant to have a large power leap over the m3. so its expected that years later it would only be a bit faster that the previous gen m5.
Not reliable.
Good video, less bad jokes and more info. 👍🏻
I enjoyed the video - thanks. I was surprised to see the "M6" in there so high, especially above the E60 M5, which is a personal favourite of mine! :)
Great video! Lots of information and well told again!👍It's amazing how the cars have changed! And yet the old cars are still so much fun! For me the E92 V8 would be 1st place 😍
Where are my ///M gang at? 💪❤
1995 M3 is the best track car I’ve driven, amazing!
Lovely content man ...can you also do top 10 best rs cars made
I was worried the E39 might not make it to the list. Everyone knows it's great, and yet it is often overlooked. Very weird.
Adam N it should have been higher up the list imo.
Overlooked? 😭😭🤣🤣 do you know how much they go for?
bmw build.... unless it a super rare shit... it morely just junk....
Despite its flaws. My number 1 will always be the E60/1 M5.
Me too. Especially with the manual transmission.
Get one sort out all the weak points and your golden
Preventative maintenance will keep the car running for a low cost
I’ve had one for 3 years it’s fantastic and very reliable, once the the throttle actuators have been sorted ( around £620) it’s fine ... I’ve had no problems at all after sorting these throttle actuators with upgraded circuit boards .. but if your going to keep the car for good as I am it’s definitely worth having the rod bearings done and at the same time also upgrade the vanos oil feed pipe and engine mounts as it’s stripped down ( £2000 quote ) which isn’t that bad for the up rated APL bearings and bolts , if your lucky enough to find a car with this work done with receipts it’s worth snapping it up because once you start driving these V10’s it’s addictive plus the sounds with an active exhaust is sublime.... I highly recommend ( I’ve driven the newer models and could even trade mine in for the f10 or the F90 but I would still keep this one there that good , yes I know the newer cars are quicker but the E60 feels like a proper M series unless you’ve driven one or owned one it’s hard to explain. 😎👍🇬🇧
I totally agree with your #1!
E34 M5 Touring still my favorite (6speed manual) dream car...almost bought one but still happy with the less rare, but equally fun E34 525ix (AWD)
The m4 or the m2 should have been up there
Esp M2C.
M4 really nothing special.. It's good yes, but it doesn't stand out
the thing with m4 is that it's super unreliable but the m2 and also e92 m3 though should really deserve a place on this list
the m4 is nothing special, its a faster better looking better handling q60, sold mine to get my m2 comp, 100% better car overall for what bmw is made for
@@artinmartirosyan6156 ahhh that’s crazy I sold my m4 and got a e63s 2019 best move ever lmao
i think the legendary m3 e92 is the best - one my favourite cars of my childhood
There was an M8 that was built, and it had exactly the same engine as the McLaren f1, but they only built one and it is on the BMW museum in Germany.
I love m2 competition, in manual of course
Finally, I've been waiting for this video for a long time
Imo I don't like the cars getting heavier I want a powerful light car :(
Great, get yourself a M2 Competition!
because safety equipment is very heavy
Honestly just do a seat swap, can save a lot of weight, granted you'll give up heated seats and motor control (I can't live without that)
@@aahsnowman2325 nowadays you can't go lighter than this without sacrificing comfort, mainly compared to other BMW's that are now usually above 2000kg.
M2 or M2 Comp
I think a overlooked car is the E63 M6! Weighs the same as a E92 M3 but has the V10, but maybe I am biased 🤔
Good video Mat. Can u do top 10 best Audi RS cars
Juste see the title 🥰🥰🥰
Been thankful growing up around 2 from the list and some of my greatest memories
Yes! Finally, this is the video i been waiting for
Okay this wasn't the video i was waiting for. Matt, MATT. I need you to give me your top 10 under 10k BMW and Mercedes with the most reliable and fun engines. Ready.... GO
the e60 m5 had a 7 speed smg3 gearbox, not a 6
The M3 E46 and most wanted is the BMW we all know

Everyone: Rushes straight to the comments
No M2 😭 car wow unsubscribed
Donut Media: Posts list
Carwow: copies post
I knew that, E46 is the best!
I hope next video will be about top 10 amg or rs cars
My dad had that 325i. One of many classics. To say I'm jealous of his car history is an understatement
Great review. I have a bmw e60 M5. Also with the limiter removed, it will do 190mph, however there are 2 limiters. Remove the second one and it will do 206mph :) . Thanks!!
Remake this video please 🔥 , with "Top 10 Best Morden M Cars" since you missed out the M140i , M2 Comp. , E90 etc , these are the KINGS of the modern age in each of their respective categories .
Swap the M8 competition with the M2 competition and add the M3 E90 somewhere around there.
what? what M2? What does it won? how old is it? How does it look?
IT IS BELOW 3RD, below 4th, below 5th, So, why should it be added? I just Do not get it, it cannot be part of the list because it is TOP10 list, not TOP-50 ever made "M" machines
the design of 8series caught my attention more than a Lamborghini!
I would love to see a drag race format video with all different classes of cars. i think it will really show the difference in classes - A super exotic, average supercar, autobahn monster, electric, hot hatch, city/family car. I think it would be really interesting.
The E39 is my favorite of all time
always missing the z4 m coupe with the s54 from the m3 in videos like this
M3 E92 should have been on the list.
Totally agree
Nah too boring
The E34 M5 is my favorite
Really Mat deserves a like
I agree with the list!!
The E61 M5 Touring just has to be my all time favourite.
Ben Mayall You an me both pal, and they’re appreciating in price too. One on the autotrader 52k miles for 20k. Definitely a worthwhile investment

@@szn00 M3 GTR: Am i a joke to you?
When I was 8 years old I got into cars when I watched my dad drive the BMW M3 GTR in NSF MW
I absolutely loved my M3 CSL for 7 blissful years of ownership 😍 and while its SMG gearbox seems to attract criticism, most of it is unfair and shortsighted . Yes, it takes a little while to get use to SMG but it’s worth it. There are 6 different SMG shift patter settings available to choose from . S1 is super soft and smooth gear changes for when you’re stuck in heavy traffic and at the opposite end you have S6 (which turns TC off completely) 😵 for when you’re in full track attack mode, allowing super fast (and quite brutal) gear changes of just 80 milliseconds 😎🤘🏼 And it’s on track where you realize just how brilliant and perfectly suited this overtly criticized SMG set up is 👍🏼 Sadly majority of SMG critics don’t get a chance to experience the mighty M3 CSL anywhere near the track and ultimately miss the point of its original objective. E46 M3 CSL was developed and extensively tested at the Nurburgring as a Track Car so its on road credential are somewhat compromise however on track it’s a visceral tour the force and an absolute joy 🤘🏼
Auto Addict finally someone that gets it right!!! So fed up of people always criticizing the SMG transmission on the E46 M3 and yet most haven’t driven one :)
I know how SMG is, but I like Manuel more
Now do a
Too 10 best AMG cars. EVER!!
The top 3 give me goosebumps!
May how did you miss out the E28 M5 the first and it looks so nice
For me the best m car ever made is the f82 m4, even though I own the f83. My m4 sounds brutal with the m performance exhaust. I was driving a few m cars and have to say:
1. M4
2. M3 e92
3. M5 F90
