2008 E92 M3 with 180k miles. At 60k one throttle actuator broke, had both replaced. 120k had the rod bearings replaced preemptively. 165k my accessory pulley seized and I lost my power steering pump. I drive my M3 every day and despite the previous incidences, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Thanks for this comment. Giving me confidence to keep mine. My goal was to either ditch it before 75k or keep it forever. It's the best car I've ever driven. 100%
When you replaced your rod bearings at 120k how did they look? I have 106k and I was wondering if I should do it..
That is awesome, weird how the power steering isn't electronic. Although yours is a 2008 so maybe the 2011 update has that.
Sounds like your average machine maintenance
Sounds like you sir know how to take care of a vehicle. Awesome! Hope it treats you well for many years to come
Your mom's car is a competition package.... just awesome!
These cars are pretty reliable despite what people say...I've had NO issues with mine so far.
well the only major issue would be the rod bearings.
If you buy an E90M3, just spend the extra cash and let someone with knowledge check them and you can sleep in peace
Wait until you have it for more than a couple of weeks.
have mine for 2 years now and no issues so far
all in all they are quite reliable. if you dont know how to use a car you can break anything...
The pull out method is pretty reliable too
Thanks for watching my update...To clarify the brakes on the car in the video are on the stock setup. I will be installing the new rotors and pads after this video goes live. See the results on my channel Tedward Drives
I thought all E9x DCT have a dedicated cooler? The parts diagrams show it and list it. Surprised you are tracking it and haven't per formed a DCT fluid replacement, even if not tracked.
Perfect solution to all your troubles 😁😈 ua-cam.com/video/ZxzgPv9bkeM/v-deo.html
We love ur channel so much
I have a 2013 M3 6MT Competition with 9200 miles on it. Thing is badass, collector grade and is gonna be worth some serious damn money someday.
Drive your car, they made way too many of these for you to waste it!
14:54 Thanks me later
New cars have quiet engine and muffled interior :(
Thanks man
Hahha perolheads spotted
literally exactly what i needed thank you
Thx
You’ve got an E39 M5 and a E92 M3. Both will be classics, E39 is almost there. I would definitely keep both of them.
Agreed. Super jealous of anyone with a nice e39 m5
I have a 2013 E92 M3, have attempted to trade mine with M2 and M4 but there is nothing like the feel of V8 for me and sitting on a M2 doesn’t give me the feeling of luxury and feel of being in a race car feel than on my E92 M3. I am hopeful it will be collectible die to it’s V8 engine and being the last NA of M performance.
John Mackie Florina yeah I know what you mean the v8 in a small car just feels great but the s65 tq is down low while the s55 has so much potential and so much more power all around
The sound of that e92 🔥
Your M3 sounds pretty reliable with very minimal repair. In my M3 (RIP) rear ends buy commercial truck. Over a 10 yrs 105k mi. as a daily beater and I drive hard my major repair was the Alternator.
And of course regular maintenance.
If I had an e92 m3 there's no way I would ever get rid of it. Had to sell my 335i n54 due to a neck injury.. been sick ever since.
Ha, i just watched you drive by friends house in that video. Small world. Great video, huge ///M fan and you hit the nail on the head on some of the weaker parts on the e9x m3. I have been contemplating an F80 or M2 Comp but i keep coming back to the exhaust note difference. The new models are gorgeous, fast, have all the tech you want but just don’t sound as good as that high strung v8.
It's those damn turbos, I tell you!! That, and the 1SM uses N54 and M2 uses N55 engines... NON-M shared engines! It's not an S54B32 or S65B40!!
10:00 is the MOST relatable thing to owning this car. I just hit 57k and have had no issues but I am starting to wonder what the best option is. I just know for a FACT I will miss it every day. I used to have an e39 530 and I miss that one often as well....agh I just know I will miss the e92. haha
People compare a 400+ hp cars reliability with the reliability of hondas and whatever. If you are scared to swing the wrench don’t buy a bmw. Had a honda civic before also went through a e90,46 and so on. I for sure can tell you that the comfort of the beemer is next level. Fun factor and all that aswell. Regarding the fuel consumption you can whine around if you want but i manage to burn the same amount of gas with the 46 325 as i did with a 1.5 civic.
buying a bmw is like marrying demi lavato hoping she remains stable ;0
lol
I love seeing a house full of Bmw’s in the front it puts a smile on my face
BMW owners are always on edge, when will it break next.....sold my BMW about a year ago and my BMW PTSD is almost healed! lol....true
LOL this is really accurate. What did you replace it with?
a 2005 Lexus ES330 with 66K.....the only issue was I had to change the brakes to ceramic so I didn't have to clean the brake dust from the rims every other day! Not as fun as the BMW but, fun enough especially without and problems....EVER! lol My life lessons taught me that only buy a German car if it is brand new and sell soon as it hits 50K miles. BMWs could be one of the best cars to drive but, they are cheaply built and have a small window of time in reliability. The old saying when buying a boat(BMW), the best day is the first day you bought it and the next best day is the day you sold it.....lol.
Love this...I was hoping you were going to say C6 Z06 with heads and cams though! I often consider Lexus for DD. They just run, and run, and run.
So true! I’ve owned several BMW’s in my lifetime and always had problems with them. I got fed up and bought a Honda Accord and lived peacefully with zero problems for 5 years. But I recently traded it in for a BMW 4 series and now my anxiety is back 😑
My excuse for maintaining it and putting some money into it here and there comes down to the difference between maintenance cost and new car depreciation. I would still certainly lose more money going with a new car so I'm happy to stay the course with the ole bimmer for a while
OEM GTS DCT tune fixes the shift delay from reverse to drive. I've done this on a few cars and you should too!
Also upgrade to real race pads and be done for track days. If you're not running race pads on the track, you will have problems. There's no way around that.
Dude those houses look huge! And so much open green land. I need to leave Los Angeles...
At least use quick detailer on the bird droppings. That stuff eats through your paint like nothing else.
Alfred Binet he literally said there is a water ban
Ah, the e92 M3. Great M car, such a blast to drive!
You have stock rod bearings after 100k KM? Nice one. Waiting for some updates :)
16-17 mpg city you get?? A lot better than my old junker 335i getting 14.
Mine just hit 60k, first throttle actuator went just purchased 3rd party extended warranty cant use it until after 1000 miles and 30 days but despite that the car has been running strong no matter what i throw at it. mine is a 13" Comp pack Mel. Red
I run EBC Yellowstuff in all my cars, on the street. Pricey but worth it. I got them to perk up the brakes on my Volvo XC70 and my '96 Impala SS. Big brake improvement for a couple of hundred bux.
His mom drives an M3 as well? Mad respect bro😤
I love the car chime
I love the turn signal clicks on the E9X
Can someone tell me where is this filmed?? I dont want to stalk this guy but it seems like a pretty nice place.
It's actually in Mexico believe it or not
F82 Faster and none of the maintenance of the E92. This video makes me love my M4 even more.
Really late from posting date. Couldn’t long crank from cold be elongated cranking to purge the cylinders and help begin distributing oil prior to the first combustion event?
Very beautiful and nice car...
Thanks Jimmy!
For those mats try Super Clean and a stiffer brush. Rinse with water and let them air dry. They will look brand new man. Walmart carries it. It can be diluted and works on just about everything.
Character for speed/torque. that's the trade off.
Coming from a e92 335i driver for over 4 years 120k miles and have driven e9x m3s. Driving the M2 I was very let down, it did not have that real M car feel that the s65 has. The m2 feels like a 335i to me. I think you would be let down trading your e92 m3 for a m2. Maybe the 2019 M2 will be better with the S55.
This is great - considering a 2008 hard top convertible m3. Still need some convincing but i'm almost ready to pull the trigger.
At least your sub frame doesn’t tear. Mine just did in my E46 M3. Sill glad I got this one over the E92.
E46 M3 all the way. The best M3 they ever made hands down.. the S54B32 is so high strung, such a blast to drive, never gets old! But it's also a huge money pit, never spent so much money on a car before. I still love her to death though, wouldn't give it up for anything else! 2004 here approaching 120k miles on the motor; performed Beisan Systems S54 VANOS rebuild (w/ anti-rattle procedure), about to do complete F&R suspension refresh, already have aFe stage II intake + DNA motoring catback installed.. have Megan Racing headers awaiting install! Also have Redish V2 plates sitting awaiting reinforcement/repair of the RACP.. good luck on your own, hope you're able to repair yours and get it reinforced!!
LoL E46 M3 has more issues trust me i know from personal experience. I own both and my e46 is always breaking down, vanos, subframe, rod bearings, coils, expansion tank has almost exploded a i could keep going but i think you get the point.
have you done any dct fluid change in 60k miles?
I went from the Pilot Supersports to the 4S’ as well recently, and agree with your observations 👍!
Amazing review.
Thank You!
Hey I got the 330i, do you think I should do a transmission oil flush on an automatic box or it's unnecessary? The car has only 40k miles, but it is 12 years old..
Could not agree more about the Michelin 4s. So good in the wet! I could allmost keep ut with a GT3S in the wet with my e90 m3.. yes it had R tires or slicks but then again... Tells you how good the 4s tires are :)
Good video, can't wait to get one!
But at 13:05 should have floored it ;D
Love the e92 m3, just when it breaks I will cry...
LOL i had to replace starter for that slow start issue.. it died slowly so you will know hehe also starter is cheap(~$130) if you know where to look
How do you mount your camera for the perfect POV position? I might get a GoPro soon and have noticed some POV vids have the position too high but yours are perfect
Could be a chinstrap attached to the camera, not too sure tho
I haven't tracked my e92 M3 since it's cherry at 25k miles no scratches etc. but I'm wondering why race brake pads+fluid isn't enough for these cars? I had 2 miata race cars and although tiny cars, the brakes were also tiny and we had no real problems with them beating on them all day in high temps on r comps. Thanks, Chris
So happy to be getting BE bearings in my car this week. Nothing has gone wrong with my car yet, but if it does it probably won't be catastrophic. haha!
man props to you because i would never buy a car that even with consistent oil changes my rod bearing will eventually go at relatively low miles.
jimothy adores driving
When you lose a wheel sensor you also lose your edc and the suspension looses up a ton. Reminded me of driving my 335 on xdrive springs.
I live right up the street from you hahahah I knew this area looked familiar! Great review
Why does the place your driving look so familiar?
Tedward, would love a back to back comparison or just thoughts on your e92 m3 vs m2 (non competition)
Your mom drives a M3? That’s awesome!!
No she doesnt I dont think you can get a 4 door M3 unless its the new one and it isnt I saw.
Just watched your M5 vid. Nice! What year is it and is the engine a turbo or not? Thank you!
If you are tracking any car you are going to kill it. Track is murder on tires, brakes, fluids etc. Tracking is a very expensive hobby. I have a 2013 328i and it is plenty fast for the street, gets great gas mileage, comfortable, lots of fun to drive. Perfect daily drivers though I've always wanted an M car.
I'm in the camp that Blackstone tells you very little and recommend Dyson Oil Analysis.
Long starts...yes, fuel pump or fuel filter on driver rear seat.
Looking forward to buying a 13 , 5 speed . My 04 VW 3.0 weight is 4k
are u using go pro?, please tell me the gear you use, camera, mic, etc
thank you, and nice vid btw
Idk what they talking bout in the comments but I love my E46 EVERY CAR HAS PROBLEMS
need to do tyre alignment..your steering is not straight on a straight road n towards to the right side
Also, do you just look at the MPG rating in the car? Mine also says 16-20 usully. But I got an app and entered it all in and I actually get like 10-14mpg city and 16-19hwy
What a cool car man.... Pretty cool....
Where is the part where you burn the tires?
Your mom's car is hot! Looking forward to the review.
Is that a repair invoice in the back seat?? 😂😭
Rod bearings issue is not a real issue. I don't plan to get mine done. I'll let you know how it goes.
Hey buddy, it is a real issue. Just get an oil test done
Blake Romero why doesn’t BMW have a factory recall on the rod bearings like they did on the E 46. It’s just insane that a manufacture can get away with this bad design and engineering. I would really like to buy one of these M3’s but that’s one of the issues that’s preventing me from pulling the trigger
@@Livingmybestlife68 , because this "issue" only affects .01% of the e90/2/3 M3's. Apparently, everyone fell for the "replace your rod bearings before its too late scam". If no cars are breaking then there is nothing to fix. Buy one or don't, if you're a true fan it won't matter. My car hasn't exploded yet. I will keep holding my breath along with the $1k in my bank account.
Blake Romero Thanks for your reply. I wasn’t aware of that. I thought it was affecting the majority of the cars that makes me feel better.
Binaural audio? Just a fancy name for stereo sound?
For your water ban, you should get ONR rinseless carwash. Just washed my 328 using only a spray bottle and microfiber towels.
All he needs is some quick detailer and a microfiber towel to wipe the bird poop off. Bird poo eats through clear coat really fast and leaves permanent etchings in the paint that look awful. I don't understand how someone could care so little about how the paint on a ~$30k enthusiast car.
Hey man, What oil do use for every oil change at every 5k miles?
If you had to choose one, E39 M5 or E9* M3?
Ugliest leather color I've ever seen! But the car is pretty nice tho.
7:29 I can’t believe you waited for that car. Great video though
My wife is 54 and has a 2011 M3 sedan Comp package
Can you please do the 2018 honda accord touring 2.0T at night
Great videos, can you review my 08 m3 full bolt ons and tune
I hope u review montero sport top of the line u are good test driver thanks 😊
Dude, you need to mantain your seats Weekly. Every Weekend you need to oil the leather up... If thats too much, then by Weekly or monthly at least. Anything past that and will wear. You can use any hand cream, it will do just fine.
I like 2010 BMW M3 e92 generations BMW this Veri good❤
So...You didn't talk about costs at all?
I excuse for bird crap man 😂 get a face wipe and lightly rotate over it and use a soft micro fibre to get rid of the residue 🙌
The bird poop is dissolving the paint
Enter the car correctly and you dont damage the bolsters. You body is already past the area where you get wear.
As long as you allow the engine to warm up properly and allow the cold thick oil to thin and flow your rod bearings should be fine. The problem is people not allowing it to warm up, slamming it in drive and drive it hard. "Unreliable Car Owners"! People always have the misconception that their cars should play its part and hold up to whatever stresses they put it through. What they don't understand is that they have to play their parts too to keep their cars working in tip top shape.
For normaol car, 60,000 miles is low mileage and a car should require nothing but oil changes and tire rotation.
That is not a normal car, it is a performance vehicle. Performance cars will almost always want a little extra care and attention - it's not a mummy wagon, despite what Tedward's parent drives ;-)
What is that phone holder called
How do you service your car but have no idea how to reset the service light? BMW service indicators are literally the easiest to reset in the business and almost anyone can tell you how to do it🤔 you could also at least wipe the bird droppings off with a warm wet towel and alcohol😂 Hopefully you're using 10w60 on the oil changes.
Is it possible to get this car as a first car
*Nice*
Don't miss that god d**n bling* bling* bling* sound of my BMW everytime I opened the door.
thank you for the Honest review.. im scare to own a BMW from all the story's i hear . maybe ill lease one one day tho .
I'd keep it!
Would not this for a newer BMW, this seems to be BMW at its best.
Nice car, though the reason I'd tend to want to stick to Lexus or Acura for performance is that I can drive them and not have to worry about going bankrupt if something breaks after the warranty is up.
TheHvk While they are infinitely more reliable and on par with, if not better, on the luxury front, Lexus F cars have consistently lost in performance head to head tests against M and AMG cars of the same price point, and with Acura... unless you’re buying the NSX, there isn’t a performance car anymore. The TLX A-Spec is too slow to count, although it does look awesome. Unfortunately, if you want truly good performance while staying stock, the M, AMG, and RS cars are going to be better than their Japanese counterparts. V series Cadillacs would be a good choice too.
hahahahaha!
Its too frustrating that any of the higher end stuff always have weird issues. Driven Hondas my whole life never had any issues. I go and buy a Maserati and the thing is an absolute blast to drive, sounds unreal and everyone is always pointing and asking questions. But God.. Just not reliable.
Mink oil for your leather seats would help.
Awesome, thanks for the video. I just got a 2015 M5 last month.
Mines also does that Delay cold start thing sometimes too. I own a 2008 with 38k miles and Ive done a lot of research in regards to that as well asking many mechanics because I thought it was a issue but I guess from what ive heard its a normal thing with these cars. The e9x m3 is a very reliable in my opinion. Yes it has some issues but every car has its own issues sooner or later something will fail on every car. Love these cars always puts a smile on my face!
