Ok, which would you have, M3 or M4?
M3 Touring with the carbon pack thingy 😁
M4
Giulia Quadrifoglio.
@@R4M_Tommy Agreed
M2 CS 😜
Best thing about the interior is you can no longer see the exterior!
lol nice
A car nobody would try to steal
Ha, ha, that's good one !
Stfu
@Orangeman Specsavers are doing some good deals atm 😀
Even Henry's voice can't save it from the monstrous grilles...
Reminds me of when Porsche went with the runny egg 996s! Good news is that one of these M4's can be had for cheap in a few years, bad news is no manual so good luck having fun on a trackday.
People with no brains often easily distracted by what they see first because they have no intelligence to grasp anything deeper
T Y Do you feel smarter, now that you’ve questionned other peoples intelligence? What a weird, childish way to express yourself.
You have to see it in person. Saw a 420! It looked good.
@@miamitten1123 I've seen a few around where I live and each time I see them, they become more hideous
Everytime I look at the grill, it looks like a Photoshop project gone wrong.
Honestly if they halved the grilled horizontally it'll look really nice, the bottom grill just merge together. Then it'll look like a normal car. Still infinitely better looking
Especially around 12:40 when it suddenly shows the M3 GTS after it...
Most weird car designs like that soon grow on me, but I cant get over this one, it's just horrible
I think I dig it 🤔 I mean, it isn't the most amazing grill I've ever seen, I but I think it can grow on me.
I kinda like it ngl
Before I go on watching, I’m going to take a moment and savor the simple elegance and finality of that phrase, “thankfully, we don’t drive on paper”. Henry is made of gold, pure gold.
"we don't drive on paper" love it
Came from the sports world: "On paper Team 1 should beat Team 2... But we don't play on paper"... Or something like that.
Very well used by Henry here 👍🏼
There's no reason a car that good has to look that horrendous.
Thats true !!
BMW will just test that douchebags will buy anything with the right badge. And by buy, I mean rent or "lease".
Preach bro!!
@@truantray 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣true
More Brilliance Henry and co!
glad to see you bending over for BMW even in the comments!
Ben Sutherland every video isn’t it 😂
Go away joe.
Joe's productions are brilliant, I just wish he would be more critical about bmw's.
Start your channel and be critical of BMW’s
Only reviews worth watching. Great work as always!
Have a look at "Throttle House"! It might change your opinion. Cheers
Watch throttle hous bro that's some next level shitt
Only reviews worth watching? ever heard about Chris Harris?
@@thordavid1968 Lol...the whole top gear crew is a joke. Its just Chris is just better than the other members of the crew.
@@ksp3324 Nah, Harris is still the daddy of youtube car journos..
Always come here for Henry's view above anyone else. On point.
True, This is the 1st one i am watching from all of the ones that's been put out today and i will watch this again once i watch all the others
Who's Henry
Great film guys! Beautifully shot and presented.
bring back the Hofmeister Kink, and the E46 kidneys!
Yes, I think the removing the kink it’s more annoying than than the front grille. Not saying that the grille is beautiful, cause is most ugly part of the car.
The kink made BMW unique, and then this came, 2 series grand coupe and the god awfully BMW design languages.
At least regular 3 series, 5 and 8 are good looking. Still doesn’t help with the grille
@@AlexToma 5 series is one of the most bland cars on the road
"Knick". ;-) By the way... the design actually grew to me, especially with the black grill. I do like it now!
Brilliantly edited as ever but long live the original naturally aspirated M3’s with RWD and analogue dashboards.
And kidney grills
The e46 is a timeless design
@@alanhung1428 e92 engine was the dogs bollox!
Exactly, along with oil lamp, open sewerage and witch hunt no doubt you love these too.
I'm not a particular BMW Fan, but i have to say all previous M3 generations (that i can think of, maybe i am missing one) had a certain elegance in their outside and interiour style. This generation somehow has lost that in my view.
I just clicked to leave a salty comment about the lunge grills.
Delicious
Did you just come over from Doug DeMuro's M3 vid by chance?
@@NiTeHaWKnz No, but good advise. I will go there, too to complain about a car I am not able to afford.
Hate that front. Mxm.
Carfection could make a Dacia Sandero look like an Enzo. Not to say the M4 is the Dacia in this analogy lol, it's really that Carfection is amazing
Excellent review Henry! Proving once again you're at the top of the game. Completely agreed with everything you said.
It's like when Deadpool takes his mask off and his wife says 'oh, this is gonna take some getting used to'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
While I know I’ll get used to the front end, the simplicity of older BMWs make them timeless in a way that I don’t think this one will be. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just so clearly done as a marketing ploy to out-do the competition in “boldness” and “presence” rather than for beauty’s sake.
Yeah but wait until they perfect it. A facelift will clean it up and make it looks amazing. In person I think it looks great
Having rather conservative styling doesn't help get new customers though
@@joe718gt4 but you shouldn't try to abandon your core clientele
@@pauldoodnath8068 every business has this problem. How to get new customers while trying to avoid alienating the old. That said, a boomer like me would rather have a E36 M3 in Dakar Yellow
@@pauldoodnath8068 When you understand their core clientele is now in China you see why they did it.
The level of quality of Carfection reviews keeps getting better every time. Even when it seems like there is nothing to improve, somehow, some things improve. Unbelievable work, people. Bravo! The theme, story, the writing, presenting, editing, music, the quality, everything is masterful. These intros that you have been coming up with are absolutely amazing. Thank you Carfection. Henry Catchpole, a standing ovation, hats off and a nod, dear sir.
I think it's hideous and I don't think I'll ever warm to it 😂
It’s only acceptable in black, lower if a bit and use spacers to delete wheel gap and it’s not bad.
@@LegendInThaMakin I think the blue is also good looking, but I smell what your stepping in.
@@LegendInThaMakin yeah black helps
Just put an Alpina Bumper on there instead, tbh
This design works really good as a friendship filter, if someone say they dont like the M3 because of the grill, you know he's not a car guy so you can just stay away.
You know this grille has actually grown on me. saw a new one drive past the other day and it looked pretty good... Give it a few years when we're used to seeing it and I'm sure it'll be loved just as much as previous generations
This front of this car makes me think of: 👁🐽👁
If you could make those eyes frowny, then exactly.
Looks more like the rear of the V6 Ford GT.
Nah... it looks like the pigs in Angry Birds.
@@creamwobbly haha very true!
Oh is this you ? I didn't knew that
It might as well be a brilliant piece of engineering, but my God does the grill look bad
I'd never buy this car.🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Henry’s opinion is the only one needed for this car.
Your videos are literally the best by far. Great job and keep it up
I don’t care how good it is, when it looks like that you can keep it. What was BMW thinking of?
BMW doesn't respect us. 😅
How the tyres are feeling after Mat did drifting?!
Mat*
@@mervi3614 fixed
Love Henry! He is so Animated! I always make Carfection Video my TOP Choice to watch first! Been with you guys since the beginning and have always been well entertained, and informed.
Oh great! Another 1725kg “sports” car 🙄
No no you don't understand it's for safety! Imagine if it was 1350KG like that "very unsafe" Porsche Cayman! The horror!
Its not supposed to be even a "sports" car. The M3/M4 never was. Its a super saloon/GT type of car.
@@GoldenCroc This latest offering isn't a saloon/GT, it's just a hideous sack of shit.
@@liverpoolscottish6430 You may well feel that it is a bad super saloon/GT, but it still is one. Please try to keep the discussion on a reasonable level.
The grill looks far better on the M models than the standard cars.
That’s a bit like saying my wife looks far better with Catchpole’s sideburns than with a moustache.
No and no
That’s not saying much.
I completely agree
Torque converter automatic and an hideous aggressive front. So it's a German muscle car?
except muscle cars are horrible at corners
@@brakinglate8828 Well the new ones are pretty good at them, seeing a ZL1 or GT350 run down a GT3 at a trackday it's a sight to behold, good time to be alive!
@@brakinglate8828 yeah we're gonna need you to get your ass out of the 60s bruh because muscle cars at least for the last couple of generations have been whooping sportscar ass wholesale around on tracks
@@joaquinpaul8205 which sporstcars? miatas? They are fast in a straight line but thats it.
@@anydaynow01 GT3 has 500hp, ZL1 and GT350 has 650 and 550 respectively. They have extra HP to get extra speed on the straights coz they suck at corners.
Your reviews are so well composed. Merci.
Against all odds, I think I’ve just fallen in love with this car too. I thought I was going to hate it but, it has so much character and charisma. The engine sounds fantastic through the video. I love what I’m hearing. It sounds snarly and angry. From what Henry said, it seems like it has got some of that M balance back and they’re still making a manual.
Owning a BMW e30 in red, fully restored to brand new, I can't like this car even for its beautiful driving characteristics that Henry described. The direction BMW with its styling is the wrong one. If people truly hate it, don't buy it. Vote with your wallet. A car is as much about its driving as it looks. Especially as a road car. This car looks like a blast to drive but I think anyone looking to buy an M car will go for any other version besides this one. For me personally, I would buy the beautiful F80, a timeless design. The G82 and G80, not so much... This will be a forgotten M car.
it will still probably sell well, that's just M cars for you
No m car is forgotten. And this one also will not be.
They called the E39 M5 fat, the E36 M3 underpowered. But now they are seen as pure driving machines. This lot will be as well.
I even would like to say that I like the grill. Nice homage to 30's styling with long kidneys, and it has presence, aggressiveness to it. What I do not like is - also with the new 8 - is the C pillar. With the kink is just too subtle and the whole C pillar is make the car look fat and bloated. The M3 does not have this problem at all hence it's the better design IMO.
Don’t let a silly grill destroy the car. You could always go to the aftermarket
@@dravde7325 tbh I've started to like the grill more and more
@@kennyd7667 It will sell well but I don't believe it will sell as good as it could have. Just my opinion though :)
Great review as always. The F-series fronts were so gorgeous in my view that this is a terrible let down. Its not just the grill, its the 1-series shape headlights as well.
Henry,
WRT automotive journalism. In my opinion, your opinion is the only one that matters. Thanks for a great roll up.
Thanks Henry, always on top of his game
Sometimes companies have to learn lessons the hard way. Years from now when they abandon this overall design people will say, WTF were they thinking??
Haha! Especially since years from now they will be producing nothing but electric cars.
I think people will love this M4 in 30 years...it would be one of the last great IC cars.Front grill isnt a beauty but it is distinctive and that is also important.
Lexus: Let's put a huge X in front of our cars for the "X Factor".
Audi: Let's upsize our Octagrille, to cater for the American Market...
BMW: I'm feeling left out here... What's Germany's most popular food? "German Pork Knuckle... Okay... Let's take that as an inspiration... 🐽
Never heard anyone calling the exhaust more “creamy smooth” felt like I was watching a food channel
What a brilliant video and production quality!!
Best part:- No bragging about the grill.. just a mention “Like it or loath it, this grill deserves it place with its precedors!
Yet another comprehensive and informative video. Carfection set the bar for all to aspire ..... thanks
unless someone releases an aftermarket front for this car its a hard pass from me. disgusting
Prior Design has a few good concepts. They will release a bodykit with a new front bumper.
The front is terrible. The side is.... generic. Back is pretty nice.
At least it apparently drives pretty well 👍🏼
@@RRSmurf for about 2 years, looking at bmws recent track record
😭😭😱totally horrible.
Looks very good. Why you people dont like it
Fantastic review as always. I too was concerned about trading the fabulous DCT for the ZF-TC. Would still rather have a go at the manual though 😂
great vid thanks for sharing with us
A cracking review I thought the pinnacle was your Morgan review! But i think this is simply awesome. Might have to buy it
As amazing as I’m sure it’s is, I can’t forgive that grill and the sound, well lack of...
"Comfort" "everyday" "smooth" sounds like the M4 should be the 440i to me.
Or more like an older M5's... In general, cars have become too porky, this one even has a porky snout as well. XD
Didn’t you hear what he said. “We don’t drive on paper” . Or do your drive on what you hear.
@@supremeetnel7707 These are words straight from THE man’s mouth while driving. These aren’t words from his mouth while reading.
@@lwwells exactly drive the car and get your own experience
@@supremeetnel7707 Why are you watching a review of it then? And then why are you taking the time to post on reviews of a car that you do not value?
Love your videos, you’re still best of breed on car reviews and inspire me to make better content.
Amazing review and video, congratulations yet again to you, Henry, and to all the good men and women at Carfection.
The price of the f80 will go up
If the F80 price goes up (which i agree with you, it definitely will), the E92 and E46 will reach Mars by the end of this week. Why? Why the front grille? Why is the only option an auto? Has BMW absolutely lost it?
There surely won’t be one single person that would say, “hey I like that front end”. Oh and “I’m glad BMW put an auto in it too”
There are people that say the first thing, but to each their own. I'm not one of them. The front end far from the only thing I dislike about its design.
I like the front end
Arguably one of the best car review channels on the web, another great review Henry.
Superb video - best of the reviews I've watched so far, great work team! I'd go M4, although that said, at the price, a used M8 is a very very tempting proposition....Looking forward to end of lockdown and getting some test drives booked in!
Unpopular opinion, I actually like the grilles. And the M3 looks genuinely epic
I don't mind it, it looks really aggressive in dark colors, I've also had a 440i in my rear view mirror and I have to say it does look a bit intimidating.
No. It’s not unpopular. It’s quite a popular opinion. Those who do like it just aren’t commenting because we’re mature.
@@JamiePursey Jamie, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
Every channel showing the new M3 and M4 now but there's only one place to watch the review...
The swaps between M3 and M4 are genius 👏
Amazing car, brilliant video as always
Amazing review, Thanks Henry!
M3 > M4
BMW has completely lost it. Thank you though, for the review :) Always love these.
Carfection really fills the gap where old Top Gear / Grand Tour left, with car reviews & films. Even though this is more factual, it's still quite entertaining. Thank you very much for these.
As always. Brilliant review and camera work
This is weird but I found it satisfying how the car hugged the curb at 1:57
I never thought I would see a bmw uglier than the e46 compact
Have you seen the iX?
@@thatcopenguy I just did my eyes😭
...or the i8😲
E46 compact with the msport kit is a lovely thing.
It's the E36 compact that's ugly
Thanks Henry you are the best. Was debating to get one or not, you said all the things I wished for!
The best review out there, you the man Henry
I'm not the kind of person that always say 'old is better' blindly. I've been wanting to like this new look but damn it's hard.
Same here. Usually major design changes grow on me. This one just stays f..ing ugly. Maybe not as bad as their SUVs though.
I got upset when they showed the f82 M4. That was such a good looking car
I can’t get passed it I really can’t learn to love it
Superb review as always
Excellent vid, Henry.
Neither, last m3 for me was a e92 and thankfully I'm old and still have my E46 M3 and 2 air cooled 911s...all manuals. But your reviews are in the top 3
that's a dream lineup you got. I so hope to put a 911 next to my E92 M3 someday.
@@MrPTManning Just added a M2 Comp with a Carbahn tune from Steve Dinan, had to add BBS wheels and 295 section rears to control the wheels from spinning @80. Scary Fast
I ounce had one of my friends show me how the grill on bmw's got bigger over time. I didn't notice how bad it was until I saw this car...
Cracking film as ever, so nicely shot and narrated. Am now v tempted to get one!
Great review 👍🏻 thanks Henry 👍🏻
Nice video production quality. Very engaging watch from M4 to M3.
The color reminds me of Aston Martin vantage
So much work goes into these videos...And it shows!
Very nice review. Thanks.
The price of this car is getting real close to a 992 Carrera S. Looks aside, the M4 is probably an awesome car, but I know I'd rather have a 911 if they are priced similarly.
excuse me? A 992 s STARTS at $115,000 with no options. that's $50,000 for "real close". Maybe a cayman, even that is a stretch.
@@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX here in South Africa both starts from around R1.95 million. Dont know what's up with BMW SA then
No way man. The 992 is well over 100k. That said I would pick a Cayman GTS 4.0 manual over either.
@@gobinduppal4429lol..a Cayman gt4 is a M2 equivalent. They nimble.
That's a BIG looking car
I saw the new 4 series the other day and it looked a 6 series side on in terms of size
Ever seen a modern 3 next to an E46? The size difference is amazing.
TOP review. Thanks
Was waiting for Henry to review the new M3/4:always brilliant 👏
That m3 color was very nice i was looking forward to a review on it until you said back to the m4🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant review!
I love BMW M and also I love Henry's reviews. So this video is just outstanding work.
I see it and the Looney Tunes theme comes to mind. 🤣
Nice content, the front is growing on me, specially in grey color.
Always Carfection first! Another fantastically balanced, beautifully considered, passionate and informed review. As for the car, I'll stick with my E46 330ci thanks!
Great film as usual!
The entire bmw design department needs to be fired right now
The rear looks hot
in 5 years everybody will love it
they hated the e60 too, now it’s loved
I thought the same, then i looked at it from one particular angle and it looked great. In my mind i keep thinking all the BMW designers were at that very angle and at the same height lol, which is still shocking and they all deserved to be fired 😂
Agreed
Even if I could afford it, it would be way way down my list no matter how wonderfully it drives. It represents everything wrong with modern sports car design.
Another great review Henry. Am very much looking forward to the touring as its been a long time coming and I think Alpina have just got the jump on them at the moment. Would definitely love one of these though it's like a BMW mustang and I think will become a classic very fast!
Great video. Thanks man.
An M3 now has 500 horses! That's more than a Ferrari 550 Maranello. However the Maranello wins at top trumps as it has more pedals!
Not with the manual
I would rather have that!
And it looks absurdly better
What is the point of that comparison? The F82 generation M4 also had more power than most Ferrari's that came 20 years before it, same with the E92. All of which come with manuals.
What a useless comment this is
The looks are a deal breaker for me, M3 slightly easier on the eye.
Amazing film! The cut on 6:48 was outstanding. I find the car to be very sporty and quite nice to look at since some time has passed and I built my opinion.
There’s a reason you have over 900k subs .. another great Vlog Henry.✌️
4:15 ah, yes. Because if it weren't for the dimples I wouldn't have a clue as to which paddle was up and which was down!
Love it :)
The up dimples give you a tingle up your spine when you touch them , that's how you know !
Hideous thing. Clearly BMW is interested in catering more to Chinese design interests right now.
The chinese think this looks nice?😫
Yep - was my first thought also - follow the $$$
Fantastic review, as always!
Very objective review.... thank you!
