One of the all-time great BMWs, even if they nerfed the US M3. This M3 has enough power to have fun but not enough to be a handful. New M3s are too stiff and powerful to really enjoy driving every day. It's a shame that BMW has lost its way. Trunk-mounted CD changers, so 90s. I've never had a problem with in-dash CD players skipping. It's crazy that CD changers used to be a big brick in the trunk but not that much later you could get in-dash 6-disc double-DIN changer radios.
I only have an E36 M3 and an E92 M3. Not sure what an E46 M3 is like. But I love the raw, analog feel the E36 has. The E92 doesn't have that experience. It just has the crazy V8 sexy AF exhaust sound.
It's a gorgeous car and a blast to drive regardless of the less powerful US spec engine! Just a small correction, the US E36 never got the 6 speed gearbox, that was only in the Euro 3.2 Evo model.
real m3s have itb's but in my opinion the fake u.s. m3 engine is better because it is more torquee and more reliable p.s. all us m3s have 5 speeds no 6 speeds
The original M3’s with ITB’s sat new unsold in the US. Some cars were sitting for a couple years. The lower cost of the 3.0 made the car sellable. If it wasn’t for that M future M’s may have never been sold in the US.
I have a euro 3.0 e36 also an e92 m3. Damn the e92 is quick, but the e36 is more fun at sane speeds, makes you earn it and you know where you are in the twistiest!
So I wanted a 2nd gen crv and watched your video. You got me sold. We got a 2005 se very nicely equipped. Runs great c1 owner and very loved by the previous owner. I just watched your video on the element. Now I'm not caring about you. I dislike you. Good thing we live on opposite sides of America. YOU SOLD ME ON THAT TOO!!!! And I found a great one I can't have locally with a manual. So great job. Great videos. Fah-Q
False. My car has both an interior dash CD player and a 6-disc in the trunk. Same CD and it doesn't skip in the dash CD player, but always skips in the trunk player. Have you never used a disc man before?
Ze Germans vonder vhy ve vant to take drinks in our cars. Ven you are driving, you should give all your attention to driving. If you vant to have a beverage, you stop and give all your attention to ze beverage.
Only Zack can compare one of the most iconic BMWs to a children's mobile app. I love it
This is hands down the most identifiable looks of a BMW.
It depends how old you are, doesn't it? The 2002 and 3.0 are probably better looking (IMO).
for me its the e46 or e39 but I def feel you.
I disagree. I think it's the E46. The E46 was made even more popular by Need For Speed Most Wanted.
The manual transmission was a 5-speed right until the final E36 M3 in 1999. I purchased one new back then.

Know what; I'm usually not too into BMWs, but that's a really nice car!
Wow, 248,000+ miles. Well done. 👏
"let me explain..." *cuts to acceleration pull sounds* I can't explain how much I love this
That center vent is a giant Chick-fil-A waffle fry! 😋

Would love to see you review a BMW 2002. That's old school. lol

I’ve got a ‘96 328i and a 97’ 328i, a sedan and a vert. Now I really need Caleb to pay me more so I can get an M3 coupe. 😅
I’ll start poking him 😂
I've driven some of these as a valet and they are AMAZING compared to modern beem-beems. Embarrassing when old trumps new
God tier BMW along with E30❤
I have a euro 3.0 e36 also an e92 m3. Damn the e92 is quick, but the e36 is more fun at sane speeds, makes you earn it and you know where you are in the twistiest!
Avus Blau/taubengrau! Excellent. That sound! :-))
I actually like this gen more than the E46. I find the S58 a bit too raspy, and this S52 is more usable for daily driving.
You should do a 90's Audi car next if ya find one
What seats are those, vaders?
Would love to see more chrysler vehicles ❤
What a beautiful specimen! ❤😮

Another great car. If cargo space is more important, go element!
Lol! So easy to fall in love with all these awesome cars. Always wanted an E36 4-door or wagon, now I'm trying to stop myself from shopping. 😂
Good job tim dillon
This is the only bmw I like.
Anyone near Indianapolis indiana work on ecm's? 2000 323i
💿 's skip because they are 💿 's not because the players are in the trunk. Silly Gen Z
