@@hussarchan1375 I like turbo too, and I respect your opinion. But when a dude talking about turbo to make it fAsTeR or sTrOnGeR, then pretty sure that's a kid
@footballcoreano turbo is boring, with an N/A engine you get a much more linear power and torque delivery and the exhaust noise isnt muffled and there is still an intake noise
@@The_Noticer. who would own a car that long? It's understandable if it's fast and fun like the bmw in this video, but a honda? Unless you find pleasure in driving slow and having a broken back.
@@Trelliondeci these are fun and good cars don't get me wrong but still not enough compare to an rwd coupe car manual with I6 engine tho don't forget about the handling
I Just had my drivers licence for half a year when i drove the m3 e46 for the first time when it just came out in 2000. Worked at BMW at the time. Picked it up for a customer at BMW Netherlands in Rijswijk. Man what a blast i had. My dream car at the time. Realy loved BMW back then. It where great years. Nowadays i do not feel that excitement for BMW anymore. The newer models do not give me the same feeling that i had back then. Anyway, nice video, it brings back that awesome feeling of that great years with the true 6 inline power.
I remember the first time I heard one of these at wide-open throttle all the way, way up there to the redline. The howl of that NA inline-6 at 8k RPM is something one never forgets. A true gem of an engine.
@@junkfoodeater That's true, but who cares. As long as you have fun in your own car and enjoying your passion who is going to blame your for that. Just enjoy the little, or in this situation big, things.
E92 was the first step towards lower quality. Interior and leather was cheap cheap in the E92, felt and looked like plastic. The paint looked like it was rolled on the 92, orange peel all over. But the 4.0 V8 was fantastic, too bad they went down hill, and never came back from the E46 M3.
One of my favorite BMW models the E46 M3 love this thing even today and one of the best designed car by BMW this car kept in good condition properly detailed with some good looking wheels is a head turner for me even today I simply love the way this car looks and sounds all that N/A high reving straight 6 and that induction nosie it makes 😍😍😍
I raced a 330ci in my 545 mt 6 speed. That thing ran almost equal with me from 100 - 160 wich would be max in 3rd for a 330 i guess. Mine does 180 in third and 240 in 4th so from 160 i started gapping big but i was impressed really
How come when 20 years ago when tuner Hondas were popping most people hated them and called them fart bombs and now people like that garbage sound of farts and backfires . This is one of the best sounding sixes ever , NA and very smooth with a crazy recline.
it is so nice for me to read a comments below this video especially that I am the owner of M3 e46. This M3 sounds nice but my M3 has hartge exhaust which sounds amazing. sorry for bragging about it.
You should add "Manual" on the title, because its unique, rather than commonly SMG version. BTW thanks for this video. Long time i want to see M3 E46 manual video.
I think I remember reading that this car was electronically limited to 250km/h.... Which means that, one, it may have been able to go even faster without limiter, and two, reaching 264km/h despite the limiter is quite nice. Many modern cars nowadays are limited to 250km/h too...... even biturbo sportscars.
Officially they where limited to 250 km/h, but M cars had there limiters set to +10% from factory, so in practice it was 275 km/h. Removing the limiter, you could get it to 300 km/h on the speedo with some luck.
I have the same setup with evolve remap, I live in Texas (which is really hot in summertime) and my oil temperature never goes that high (even when I drive it hard)

Which Gen M3 sounds best?!
Nice!!!!
E36 m3, i really like the deep sound from the car
For me it’s the E92
E92, that high rev V8 has to be one of the best sounding engines BMW has made
S65 4.0 😍
Followed closely by E36 3.2 Evo with Supersprint or Scorpion exhaust!
Just a good oldschool naturally aspirated engine. No fancy nonsense and popcorn bangs, just pure driving pleasure.
If just one manufacturer would make this kind of cars again, they would sell like crazy
@footballcoreano Naturally aspirated sounds better and the power delivery is much more controllable. It is not always just about pure power.

Yeah who knew that taking something great and making it fatter, automatic, and with less displacement would make it less exciting?
@@guthrie1181 not so much less displacement as much as less revs. The E90 and E46 M3 were so good and amazing because of revs.
@@whatiwant8898 Absolutely. Downsizing created a need for boost which negated the need to rev high and made exhaust notes resemble an Oreck.
Boxer engine is bestt and safer then others engine. Boxer engine is balanced engine for safety and secure under driving :)
@@peter1001pp and vaping in your subaru
After 225,000 km this car can still do 5,5 secs 0-100... What a M-A-C-H-I-NE!!!
I am 25 and i have this sound recorded in my mind since i was 10 that was the first time i had a ride in one of these, my favourite car for sure
I'm 28 and I also had this raspy sound in my head since I was 8. Lol 😆
damn the L6 bmw is indeed in my heart forever
1 of the best looking M3's ever made.
It s the ONE
Then was the e92 ❤
The best looking and probably driving
The other ones aren't so famous and "historic ". They looks to be more for rich people only
Looking but not sounding 😂
This intake sound is just amazing.
The interior of this legend still looks great, what a car.
I remember the first time I heard one of these at wide-open throttle all the way, way up there to the redline. The howl of that NA inline-6 at 8k RPM is something one never forgets. A true gem of an engine.
Great video guys! Really shows off the sound of the Eventuri intake.
I have an alpina b5 biturbo from 2011 with the n63 engine in it. Would it be worth the money to add the eventuri kevlar intake?
Still very respectful acceleration times!
These NA engines are beautifully engineered!
Ageless design. Even today it looks modern. The person who drew it was on some other things.
True! Looking at the interior design, i can’t believe it that this car is from late 90/ early 2000
Oh boy, the good old days! Back when no turbo or OPF restricting some part of the noise
And no sound speakers... who ever created that pos feature need to be ashamed of themselfes. ( sorry for English )
I'm not a bimmer, but always a joy to listen to this exhaust sound ❤️
Lol the exhaust sounds like shit
Rattle Rasp
In car sounds good because you hear more of the intake noise and less of the exhaust
The exhaust is literally the worst thing about this car (stock )
@@LowMedow i agree, but even though its a bit rabish, there is still something special and unique about it!
This is the car! You can drive it fast, looks awesome, sounds awesome, is able to daily drive it, reliable and is timeless...
It's a great car sure but 90% of people do not think you are awesome lol they think you are a poor sob driving a shitbucket from the past.
@@junkfoodeater That's true, but who cares. As long as you have fun in your own car and enjoying your passion who is going to blame your for that. Just enjoy the little, or in this situation big, things.
@@davijuli50 Yes that is the way
@@junkfoodeater well, for these kind of people i just feel sorry.
Still the best looking M3
I could have bought one a few years ago when prices hit rock bottom but I didn’t and they are too expensive now. My dream car will forever be a dream.
Just missing a CSL carbon airbox to achieve perfection!
Indeed
Yes the carbon plenum is a must these are creeping in value
I’m planning on going eventuri myself. Just can’t quite justify spending thousands on an intake plenum/ tune
@@blakehobbs425 It's the kind of thing you have to purchase with your eyes closed.
In my humble opinion, it's worth every penny...
@@blakehobbs425 dude I hear you. I want that carbon box but there like 2-3k. I was thinking eventuri or just a normal cold air. Idk
'What a machine..' -Clarkson's voice
E46 M3 is an absolute gem, a blessing in car disguise
For me
This is the best looking M3
I love the E92 too👑🤴🏾✅

E46 THE BEST! Legendary and timeless car!
Best none super car ever, proper drivers car. Prices proving that now, people realising.
Such a spectacular engine and noise.
Actual masterpiece...
Love it I’ve got one best car around I’ve had mine 16 years 🤘🏻👊🏻👌🏻🤛🏻❤️
The Sound of the NA 6❤️
Watching those videos, I actually remember when driving a car was an analog thing.
One of my dream cars, it's sad that they are now very expensive.
Expensive ? Is cheaper than ever
The E92s are expensive. The E46s go for 20K where I'm from
@@ayugoslav5554 20K is a lot, in my country it was going for about 8000$
I can understand,
It's more than 70k$ in my country.
@@S25117, cheaper than ever? The good units that cost 15k back in the days are now like 25k. Same with all the other older M3
I Love Bmw M3😍🔥
One of my favorite BMW models the E46 M3 love this thing even today and one of the best designed car by BMW this car kept in good condition properly detailed with some good looking wheels is a head turner for me even today I simply love the way this car looks and sounds all that N/A high reving straight 6 and that induction nosie it makes 😍😍😍
Would love a proper POV review of this! Lovely...beautiful sound
Every time I get in my 330ci, I imagine I'm driving an M3... Dream car right there
I raced a 330ci in my 545 mt 6 speed. That thing ran almost equal with me from 100 - 160 wich would be max in 3rd for a 330 i guess. Mine does 180 in third and 240 in 4th so from 160 i started gapping big but i was impressed really
That's the tank engine.. my dream car since childhood till now.. hopefully, one day I would be able to own it.
Sounds so much better than the new hoovers 😍
Best BMW ever built. No doubts about that
one of my favourite BMW
Good old BMW💪
Best m3 ever
The good old days when you could enjoy the engine noise, not these new exhaust noise with crazy pop and bangs
How come when 20 years ago when tuner Hondas were popping most people hated them and called them fart bombs and now people like that garbage sound of farts and backfires . This is one of the best sounding sixes ever , NA and very smooth with a crazy recline.
This car is all i need for a daily drive🥰
Amazing M3
this car is perfection 👍
Most beautiful Coupé
What a car ...what a legend..those car will be too difficult to buy them..because they are great to drive and great in feeling..
This sound! Huuh, if there ever was a list of best engine sounds , this would feature in top10.
Its nr 1 shame on you sir !
@@homers5699 Dude, If I said its #1, people would write Im being biased.
(between you and me, it is #1)
the map 0:29 sensor is loose or broken, at least it gave that impression by the video. this car is wonderful
That's the MAF sensor though, isn't it?! The MSS54 (non HP) doesn't have the MAP sensor.
@@jerezM392 ok thx. My bad.
those itb engines sound divine
Those itbs sound sooooo good
why is it everytime i start researching a car and start loving it you post a video about it 😂

That oil temp was getting up there! Great car

It's a wonderful car, which sounds amazing.
I respect all the opinions but as a fan of m3's the E46's edition it s the one who comes to my mind first.
This car is so cool. I wanna get one of these as my first but it's too expensive. If you wanna get a similar car, buy the 330ci.
both the m3 e46 and m3 f80 are my favorite bmw cars.
MORE E46 VIDEOSSS !
Ultimate driving machine.😎
Ich liebe dieses Auto 😘 eins der schönsten Coupes die je gebaut wurden
THANKS for these fantastic pure sound and the views from outside.
it is so nice for me to read a comments below this video especially that I am the owner of M3 e46. This M3 sounds nice but my M3 has hartge exhaust which sounds amazing. sorry for bragging about it.
Always a dream car 🖤
Even if i like more the 4.4 V8 on the E92, this still sounds awesome
It is 4.0
The M3 GTS has a 4.4L V8
Damn my dream car
1:31 beautiful sound
Great video. Please do the SMG and CSL next..
I love this car, my favourite car
This my all time favourite car
❤ e36 m3 is my favorite❤

Still better than any jdm cars

Very nice Car!!
Hello early gang 🤟🏻
So beautiful!
You definitely should not allow automatic gearboxes in your reviews.
Best car ever
Amazing
Take a look at my drag times to see how a properly maintained m3 works (2004 m3 e46 smg2)
More of those art cars bro
Most wanted 😎😁
whered you guys get that gloss black steering wheel? looks so good!
I have the same setup with evolve remap, I live in Texas (which is really hot in summertime) and my oil temperature never goes that high (even when I drive it hard)
It could be that the oil in this m3 is thinner than in yours, since the temperatures here usually go lower during winter.
Yeah I was thinking that, my M3 never peaks past middle post and im EU. Something not right there
