They named the class of car after it, so it should be quite good. Contains turbocharging, which some may find offensive.

It's the best-looking M3 ever made IMO. It's also the most criminally underrated M car ever. Yes, the very first models were very spiky on a damp road, but the Competition and especially the CS version made it so much more tied down, and frankly, better. It's a better all-around car than the E90 M3 IMO, and the M4 GTS... One of the best M cars in a decade.

A man who can really drive properly, and who has driven pretty much every car worth driving loves the car and enjoys it...but internet race drivers (most of them without a drivers licence of course) call it bad and point out all kinds of negatives about it (without ever coming close to the actual car of course)...how hilarious.

fuckoffgoogle He usually breaks his videos in 3 parts: Normal street driving, circuit time attack, then drifting (covering all driving bases). People who buy these cars may not drift them everywhere, but they like the fact their car is capable of doing it. Make sense? Plus Chris Harris actually has professional racing experience he can do it all

@BFD15i 9 жыл бұрын

fuckoffgoogle You did see the first part of the video where Chris drives the M3 on open roads? All in all, you don't burn / waste more rubber on a M3 than on an AWD-car with that amount of power. Yeah, the rear tires get it hard. On an AWD-car you burn the rear tires less but you burn your front tires, too. Not a real comparison but I had an E39 M5 a couple of years ago. Not turbocharged but very capable of drifting. And you know what? If you don't go nuts the tires were not an issue at all. BUT: If you want to go nuts from time to time and still want to have daily-use-capabilities, there's no better car than an RWD M-car.

I just want to say that the E90 M3 V8 engine is a masterpiece. I always liked non aspirated engines but that V8 is something else. I had the pleasure of drive a 4door for a few kms and just starting it, and the way it just revs... made my day, week, month even. Pleasure over performance any day. And... it doesn't lack performance, maybe by the new one standards, ok fine but I know what my choice would be. V8 for life ;-)

Why do people whine so much about the sound? It's a very good sounding car by any standard. I dare you to drive it and say "it sounds bad". Also...why does nobody on the internet (it doesn't matter, those people can't and won't buy it anyway) realize the point of this car? This is not a track car, or a race car. This is sporty luxury saloon car. This M3, and the current generation of the M5, are EXACTLY what these cars are all about. A combination of a luxury car that can be used every day, for every possible imaginable purpose, that looks tasteful but aggressive enough, that has a comfortable and luxurious interior, but can also be a sports car, that can be driven hard fun on THE ROAD (where 99% of these cars will spend 99% of their time) and driven very quickly on THE ROAD while remaining civilized. This is not a track car. Do you people realize the difference between a race track and a road? Do you realize how much different the setup of a car has to be in order to extract everything out of it on a track? Cars are set up for roads that have bumps, camber changes, surface changes, elevation changes, etc. Not for smooth tracks with a perfect surface and dry tarmac. The point of this car is to be comfortable, refined, luxurious AND sporty at the same time, and that requiers certain sacrifices. You have to get the balance right, and BMW did it. If the car was any softer overall, it would be too soft and too close to the regular 3 series. If it was any harder, it would be too uncomfortable on the road. If you want a track car, but a Cayman S, not a 4 door family sedan. There's no point in taking a family sedan and turning it into a hardcore stripped out race car, it's very inefficient and franky a waste of time.
