As much as I dislike the grill, the performance of the new M3/4s are nothing to talk down about. Phenomenal job by the engineers. The grille can go or stay, as long as BMW keeps delivering good performance vehicles at a good "value".
I will say that your one of very few car review guys who actually respond to viewers comments. I believe everyone should appreciate the work and time you put in. Keep up the great work!!!!👏
Great review as always!!! I just picked up one up yesterday , this car is an absolute beast, so much power everywhere , MotorTrend just got a 3.5 from 0-60 and 11.6 at 125 mph in the quarter mile that is freaking fast , btw big surprise, mine has ventilated seats too!!!! shout out to BMW of Sarasota and my sales guy Bobby for helping me get this beauty , also I have it in black so the grill just blends in, so nothing weird there , keep it up with the great vids !!
Love the straight 6. I was wondering what that glare on your face was from, that lid would never be closed lol. If one goes WAAY back into BMW's history, this grill is an homage, is it not? Thank you again, Lori, for another splendid video!
The whole CAR industry wants to be BMW M3 M5 & XM6. BMW has been copied so much by others, their interiors, their technology, their performance, their driving machine experience. BMW IS THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE...
HATE the grille, BUT I do plan on getting one with the X-Drive in a darker color to quasi hide the front end. The performance of this M3 Comp is amazing.
Don’t mind the grill at all! Even with the yum yum yellow car colour :) Wow 500 plus horsepower out of a V6 twin turbo :) I love the 4 door over the 2 door as well!
They have done something so special with this, it'll sure make me forgive it for inhaling all the oxygen on the road, even though having licence plates on the nose is going to make it look like it's suffocating.... Very nice review. You made me love it! Thank you Joe and Lori.
Looks good as long as you don’t screw a license plate up front. Use tow hook mount. Alpha figured it out in their vehicle... don’t see them screwing a plate dead center
Okay I went with the 21 Audi S5 Sportback just recently all because of your review but now Im liking the new BMW M3 just as much and I think after all my previous bmws I really enjoy the change to Audi and just trying something different out but Im loving it and you are my go to review guy on all sports cars I am interested in!! Keep it up and awesome job on BMW also
I totally agree that the sedan looks better than the coupe. I just wish they kept the front end of the 340i and then this car would be close to perfect.
I'm disappointed that the car did not come standard with the nice colored seats that they unveiled... btw, I like the new grill on this car... nice performance...nice video JOE and Lori.
I currently have the 2020 330i MSport package in a nice Pepsi blue... and I love the car. been wanting to upgrade to this m3 competition but the grill at first didn’t grab my attention but then grew on me.. only thing I don’t like is that the interior dash is the same as mine n so I feel it’s outdated. I’ll wait until the next m3 with new interior comes out. Overall love your reviews brother keep it up! 💪🏽
Great video like always bro! I never clicked on a video so fast. I have a suggestion, you should look into start doing flyby clips so people can see/hear the car from an external point of view. Would help to see how that grill, back of the car with those new exhaust tips look in action. Just an idea from a subscriber but of course you nailed the review. I look forward to seeing you do one on the new Type-S and the All Wheel Drive version of this M3. Keep up the great work!
Diggin the car, especially the color! Easy gear selector except for the weird placement of the park button. No ventilated seats? 80k? My 2013 Kia has that.... what in the world! Be Safe ON THROTTLE! Raiti!
9:07 FYI You need to take it out of “Efficient” to transform the exhaust note. It is not just about pressing the exhaust valve button. Great review, and keep up the good work 😀👍🏻
I feel like everyone is copying off of Lexus with the giant grilles. But others can’t pull it off like Lexus does. I’m thinking this BMW grill MIGHT look better if the divider was black to blend with the grille. I must say, the overall body and color of this car is amazing.
I love my 2022 G82 xDrive. Competition. 8,300 miles, now. And just for reference, you can get cooled seats, at this price. The cooled seat button is a dual heated and cooled in the same button. I have it in my car, it's a lazy $300 option, just order it. Silly they don't just come automatically.
Wow, BMW definitely took a leap of faith on this design. Still prefer the looks of my F30 but this will undeniably be an extremely fast car. Great vid Joe!
I was hoping you'd get one of these tested soon! Great vid! Can't wait to see what BMW does with the M version of the electric i4, since the "base" model unwrapped today has 530hp and 0-60 in ~4 seconds (with a ~300 mile range).
Hi joe how u doing? I don’t care but people say who is the best or one of the best car reviewer I.e Chris Harris etc etc for me I rate u above of them bcoz of the energy and enthusiasm level
I hated the grill at first, now I love it. It really GROWS on you !
Yup, same here!
Literally bro
I’ve always loved it
I saw a white one yesterday and the grill looks better in person.
PEACE!! Yes,agree to a degree,but overALL I will put he’s this machine!!
Man, this channel lets you fall in love again every day.
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate your support!
Dont forget the weight; 3840 lbs , it means almost 400 lbs heavier than previous 2020 m3 ( 3500 lbs )
ON THROTTLE two words that are so iconic
You know it!
@@RaitisRides how is the driving exp compared to the RS5?
@@pierre598 it feels way more balanced!
BMW: "Do not exceed 5,000 rpm until 1200-mile run-in is completed". Joe: "I can't hear you, I"m ON THROTTLE baby!!!"
@@RaitisRides awesome thanks for the videos and Lori also. Can’t wait for my M3 manual to arrive!!!
I like how Joe stood in front of the front bumper during the intro.
LOL
It was a public service 😎
@@RaitisRides Does it come in a manual?
i think he is trying to block all the time

I was just thinking about this car and sure enough raitis ride drops this vid. One and only mind reading youtuber out there!
I love bringing it to you!
Raidi's Ride is growing on me like the M3 Grille !!!!!!
Sounds good to me!
said it on another bmw review, and joe said it again, the hood design complements the grills and give character to the grill.
The grill is my Zonk, but what I'm not Zonking is the Yellow! My favorite color of all time and I love it when it's dressed up on a BMW.
Great review as always!!!

Congrats!! Thinking about selling my Shelby GT 350 and getting one.
That grille has grown on me, I think this might be my new dream sedan! Thanks for sharing Joe! 🇨🇦
12:58 "I'm as snug as a bug in a BMW M3 Rug!" LOL. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Tristan! I am so glad that you caught that one.
@@RaitisRides hi
In my 2004 Maxima, every time I hit a clear stretch of road, I yell "On Throttle!" LOL
Heck yeah man!
Same here in my ram 1500 hemi.
Nothing beats Joe's on🔥 Throttles 🔥 but remember he is a professional race car driver and one of the BEST 🥇
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate you having my back!
And a former teacher….joe you’re a good dude
In black with the orange interior is the best spec for me. Can't go wrong with an M3. Great vid👍
The smile on his face sais it all. Beauty of a car!
This is very true!
HIDEOUS FROM EVERY ANGLE !!! Helga's getting heavy and now she needs to see the Dentist !!!
FORZA ALFA BABY !!!!
THE KING IS BACK !!!!
"Kidneys?"
*absent....*
"Lungs?"
" HERE!!!"
PERFECT!
I stopped by Reeves the other day to look at this exact car and the M4, absolutely stunning in person!
You are so very right!
Im very skeptic to the grill until i saw it in person. Man that grill is beautiful imo
I agree with you!
Performance-👍🏻
Handling - 👍🏻
Interior- 1/2 👍🏻 no ventilated seats
Grill - 👎🏻
Color- 👎🏻
Price - 👎🏻
I guess that sums it up for me.
Thanks Joe! Nice review. Nice job Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
U forgot the depreciation main thing, in 2 years will be worth less than half lol
@@cordinate81 probably not in this market
@@cordinate81 nah these are $90k cars. Will prob be worth about $60k
Joe!!! M3 was waiting for this one!!! Amazing Thanks Joe and Lori
You are so right Antonio!
Lori did a FANTASTIC job on the camera work catching all the intricate details!!!
Love the straight 6. I was wondering what that glare on your face was from, that lid would never be closed lol. If one goes WAAY back into BMW's history, this grill is an homage, is it not?
Thank you again, Lori, for another splendid video!
yes it is Adam! You know your history!

16:21 ON THROTTLE!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! It sounds awesome
Heck yeah!
That front end is awesome. Best front end by far. Love the bold statement , backed by bold performance
Can’t wait for the aftermarket front bumpers lol
Prior design is already on it... looks 🔥🔥🔥
Should be interesting!
Just bought a blacked out 3 series, and saw this in the showroom, looks awesome. Love the styling 👍
Personally I love this grill on the new m3 and m4 especially in black. This color is beautiful.
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
It's about time to not even mention the grill..... this vehicle ROCKS!! I'm gonna find a stick shift.
Good call!
I also like the grill!! it makes it even more aggressive and with a numberplate actually even better
I am so glad that you like this one.
HATE the grille, BUT I do plan on getting one with the X-Drive in a darker color to quasi hide the front end. The performance of this M3 Comp is amazing.
Can't argue the performance!
Don’t mind the grill at all! Even with the yum yum yellow car colour :)
Wow 500 plus horsepower out of a V6 twin turbo :)
I love the 4 door over the 2 door as well!
I am so glad that you like this one.
Keep in mind this is not a V6. It's an inline 6 engine :)
@@m3awd598
Right! :)
Nice video!! I do agree with you the lack of ventilated seats !!! You do the best reviews !!! Love them all !!!
The grill makes this car unique and very sporty looking. AWESOME CAR.
Just waiting on your review my man.. with twinkies and all that! sheers!
You are so awesome! Thanks for the support!

Absolutely gorgeous front to back top to bottom. I don't mind the grill. On throttle looked like a blast, we love that.
Absolutely love these reviews, how is he not at 1M yet????

This car is dope, I love the kidney front end. This car is basically built to attract the new generation and I’m already falling for it!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can always tell if the car is fast. Joe starts smiling and then laughing. Makes me laugh too. Really cool to see.
Ahh!! Love the M3 model what a beast, good job Raiti's!!
Always loved that grill. Its intimidating!!! BMW rules!!!
It looks very good in person
Agreed!
The turbo straight 6 is the redemption, IMO.
I totally agree that the sedan looks better than the coupe. I just wish they kept the front end of the 340i and then this car would be close to perfect.
I’m finna jus be saying on throttle this whole summer 😭😂
I like that way that you think.
I'm disappointed that the car did not come standard with the nice colored seats that they unveiled... btw, I like the new grill on this car... nice performance...nice video JOE and Lori.
I know how you feel! I guess you can option it though. Thanks for your great support!
I always come for the ON THROTTLE action 😛😎
I am so glad that I could bring it to you!
Brilliant review, so many funny comments....the junk in the trunk, 😂 and the Twinkies boxes were actually there!
Joe did you notice a substantial difference between this and the 2021 m5? Love this channel. Thanks
Saw the M3 base/Competition and the M4 base/Competition in person and it looks awesome 👌👏😎
This grill has grown on me, and now... I really want an M3 Competition.
Man I've been looking forward to this M3 review! Absolutely enjoyed it Joe keep up the great work!
I currently have the 2020 330i MSport package in a nice Pepsi blue... and I love the car.
been wanting to upgrade to this m3 competition but the grill at first didn’t grab my attention but then grew on me.. only thing I don’t like is that the interior dash is the same as mine n so I feel it’s outdated. I’ll wait until the next m3 with new interior comes out.
Overall love your reviews brother keep it up! 💪🏽
At last the M3!!! The X drive version next please!!
You got it!
Great video like always bro! I never clicked on a video so fast. I have a suggestion, you should look into start doing flyby clips so people can see/hear the car from an external point of view.

Enjoy your videos a lot man, which raises the question, what do you drive? Just curious
Hey Gene! I have a Shelby GT350R, Camaro ZL1 1LE & Subaru WRX STI
Diggin the car, especially the color! Easy gear selector except for the weird placement of the park button. No ventilated seats? 80k? My 2013 Kia has that.... what in the world!
Be Safe ON THROTTLE! Raiti!
Now priced at 65k in some places. I’ll wait . But this car is a must have but not for 80 or even 65k . lol 50 k yes but tbh 45k
Needs a direct comparo video against the AMG C63 S that was so loved in the earlier review!
9:07 FYI You need to take it out of “Efficient” to transform the exhaust note. It is not just about pressing the exhaust valve button.
Great review, and keep up the good work 😀👍🏻
They pissed me off with the grill, I’m now starting to like it 👍🏼
I love the color and the big grille too. Great Review Joe 👍Stay Healthy and Stay Safe :)
I am so glad that you are digging this one. You do the same!
I feel like everyone is copying off of Lexus with the giant grilles. But others can’t pull it off like Lexus does.
I’m thinking this BMW grill MIGHT look better if the divider was black to blend with the grille.
I must say, the overall body and color of this car is amazing.
Thanks for letting me sharing it with you! Very good points!
Love this colour it looks amazing!
I know how you feel!
Joe makes you want every car he reviews
I was thinking about it, who is behind the camera. Very smooth and steady panning. Great job Lori!
Solid overview. Can't deny the performance, steering, updated interior, etc. That said...I will hold onto my F80.
Almost broke my finger clicking on this vid. Love it.
Love the design very sportly great exhaust nice interior
Same here!
@@RaitisRides yeah I know but still love it even more 😂😂😂
still the same question- M3 or CT5 V Blackwing? Which one looks better? Thanks Joe, you are doing great work here!
Hard choice
I am going Cadillac.
@@yes8032 Cadillac
@@RaitisRides cool 😎
Your channel is underrated. I’ll take this over 20 minutes of over annunciated quirks and features all day.
Yes. Doug Demuro is a bit much sometimes.
This car is so nice. I think BMW went with a bold/ugly grill to cause a stir. It's working. The RS5 is beautiful but the safer pick.
Beautiful spec. When the awd option comes out I think this will be my next car
Sounds like a plan!
Yessir been wait love the video joe!!!!!
I hope it was worth the wait!
@@RaitisRides oh it was best 22 minutes of my life
@@speedsplug6926 I really appreciate it!
What's your opinion on leasing vs owning this beast? You are exploding man, congrats!
As long as I have a warranty I am fine with both! Thanks for the awesome support!
11:40 when u said "leave that in the comment section if that happens" xD
Spot on!
I love my 2022 G82 xDrive. Competition. 8,300 miles, now. And just for reference, you can get cooled seats, at this price. The cooled seat button is a dual heated and cooled in the same button. I have it in my car, it's a lazy $300 option, just order it. Silly they don't just come automatically.
Wow BMW went back to their hay day original Grill, more air more cooling more power better stopping. Love it sets it apart.
Wow, BMW definitely took a leap of faith on this design. Still prefer the looks of my F30 but this will undeniably be an extremely fast car. Great vid Joe!
In the past I've described your upshifts as 'grandmotherly slow' but they are much improved! Wait, this is an automatic...never mind...
By the way ventilated seats are a $300 option when you have the standard seats like the ones on this car.
I was hoping you'd get one of these tested soon! Great vid! Can't wait to see what BMW does with the M version of the electric i4, since the "base" model unwrapped today has 530hp and 0-60 in ~4 seconds (with a ~300 mile range).
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
I love the color and front grill. It's traditional as well. And a intercooler would work nicely behind there
I like the way that you think!
@@RaitisRides keep the videos coming. Ready for a million now
Will you ever do Rolling shots? That will take your channel to the next level.
The base seats are nice but I could not buy this car without the upgraded buckets. Nicest looking seats under 100k.
Facts
Love it. I was looking for this exact color 2021 M3 review. 👌🏻
Hello there Joe nice video and nice car can Ford Mustang go round corners I want to know
Hey Logan! Depends on the Mustang.
@@RaitisRides okay buddy name one which can go round corners
I actually like the new grill because it looks integrated instead of looking stuck on like the old style grills
I hope you’ll get an opportunity to review the 6speed I bet the family wants to see some on throttle with that machine! Great review!
Very cool redesign 👍🏻
I am so glad that you like this one
Sick ride! That interior is super nice.
12:37 Lol This guy's personality, no wonder this channel is growing so fast
Absolutely love this car!
I am so glad that you like this one.
I like the way the car looks! BMW got it right and should be a great looking car for several years.
