Only problem with this video is that it's way too short. But good for Jason's son for picking up his father's legacy.

When you review a car so good you actually buy it on the spot

I own a 1987 Mercedes 190e 2.3-16v. Love the car! Been in the family since purchased in 1987! Will never sell!

Damn! The current value of E30 M3s then compared to now 🤣😂😩😭

This is how a real review should look like - travelling back in time and reviewing the cars the year they were produced. Well done Jason!

Seeing his newer videos compared to the ones made during his MT days you can tell this man is constantly improving his craft. Even after more than a decade of making videos (i think) he is still finetuning his skills in telling great stories and making the best car reviews. Such a big fan of Jason

I opened KZfaq by mistake and was about to close it swiftly when I saw Jason in the thumbnail and I knew I had to religiously watch it. I was great to see young Jason come so far, only developing that charm and confidence he has today to draw in and keep his audience glued.

Today I too bought a Euro 190E 2.3-16 on the spot. Can't wait to get some miles on it.

Jason, i love you brother. Best Moto Journalist on Earth

i loved this video when it came out. thank you Jason for continuing to upload these icons of KZfaq automotive journalism

Holy crap, Jason's so young!

Thank you Jason, you are a life saviour. This is our new Top Gear!

Jason is staying young by ingesting the souls of modern bmw's. Which is why the new cars are a mess.

Saw these race around 1985-86 at the Hockenheimring! Was stationed in Mannheim less than 30 minutes away. 🇩🇪🏁

Jason looks so young in this video. He still hasn't lost his love and passion for cars. He's only gotten better over the years.

I'm sure you're busy with Hagerty's.. Still wouldn't mind seeing another video here. Appreciate your talent

Back when discount Sandler looked like discount Ali-G

The shifter comparison is the most interesting bit methinks. Both dogleg and yet entirely different leagues. Shame I don't like the W201 that much, really cool car tho..especially the Evo

My first car was a 1989 E34 BMW. I loved that thing. It was kind of all I could afford as I was at the start of my career. This was 2003 or so. Loved that thing. Commuted across Sydney in that thing for years. When I got a bit of money I bought the E39 5 series in pretty much as new condition. Love those era cars. Just brilliant. I'm sure the Mercedes is also great.

So glad to see all these old Cammisa videos. I miss them.

He looks 25 yrs old in this video

one of the OG vids from Cammisa 😎

I've been waiting for this ever since you started uploading stuff.

I had no idea that's how you acquired that 190E 2.3-16. (insert 90s kid looking from computer to camera with approving thumbs up)

Legend has it that Martin Brundle, of F1 lore, said the rear suspension on the 190E was world-class.

This gotta be my favourite episode ever!

Consider just how many times the world has been saved by the phrase “luckily, the engineers ignored them…” ;-)

Oh my, now I see where the Adam Sandler comparisons came from. I missed this video the first time around. Great video again (as usual)

Seeing Senna driving the 190 completely on the limit always gives me chills

Love your story telling Jason. I a;ways learn something new! THANKS.

Recently, I've tried out an 190E 2.5 16V for only 2 days and Cammisa's right: the ride is really impressive compared to the modern cars; you never had the struggle on going over bumps and it'll still give you enough feedback about the handling, making it feel like you're driving a proper car, not a lump of a daily commute just to go from point A to B. What I've also find impressive is the fact that its Getrag transmission still feels great and doesn't have that kind of annoyances that you find in cars around its age (i.e., the gears not getting in properly because of the wear), making the driving more enjoyable and hassle-free, despite of the dog-leg config. However, I found it really easy to use and never had the urge to shift it to Reverse because of muscle memory. In sum, I wish I could drive it again and, maybe, own it...

I love looking at the specs sheet where it lists "current value" because now you need to take that number and multiply by 4

Thanks for sharing the BTS cluster story.

That M3 looks better then any new M3

My buddy had the M3 but I drove the 190 2.3 16V and fell in love with it.

Motor Trend: You act like your better than me. Jason Cammisa: I am better than you.

A video from the archives when Jason Cammisa was in his late 20s. 1080p in 2004 is crazy

I missed this video its back again.Thank you.

I’m not completely convinced this is actually Jason’s channel, could be a clever imposter using his material.

I once owned a Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 and it was an awesome car. Carfection just published a video about all the M3 and I made this exact comment and now... THIS video gets released. What are the odds of that?

Who is here cause of Sreten . Thanks to him now we know jason

This is one epic episode (glad it's back on YT)

Oof I've been waiting for this one!

I missed late 1980s...muscle sedan cars like BMW 318 M3, Mercedes 190E 2.3, Ford Sierra cosworth, Audi A4 quattro and some others.

Wow, the days when Adam Sandler had fever gray hairs like his early 20's. Glad to see that today's Jason has much more charisma.

Those was fun... both was unable to follow the Lancia Delta Integrale. They was both slower.

Amazing review❤ Really liked how he just buys the 190 on the spot :) Legend move!! both are exactly as Jason described. Had E30 325i for many years, also an easy DIY car + crazy fun to drive, true drivers car. And few month ago finally got the 190 as I always admired it too - brought home 2.3 Azzurro avantgarde Sportline model, 1 of only 950 made in total, and I daily this engineering masterpiece as it’s more “car” than the E30. When was this video made? Nice prices at that time 😮

I thought Adam Sandler was reviewing cars until I seen Jason Cammisa in the title

I like how you just remade this video but newer, better and longer

always easily forgotten in teh Mercedes 190 E 2.3 16V and BME e30 M2 story is the Ford Sierra Cosworth. This also was a very good car with a very good story. The Sierra Cosworth was the M3's biggest contender on the rally stages.

M3 Evo II is something else

the E30 M3 has nothing to prove it's track record speaks for itself

Great article about two amazing cars, you can't beat a limited edition performance car made to win in competition by a large manufacturer. I'm a huge fan of Group A and B, Homologation and the inevitable Evolution models, evocative and passionate ends of the motorsport spectrum. Due to my age, I've been very lucky to have witnessed many of these cars in full factory spec raced and rallied in anger, a true spectacle, even got to sit in some back in the day when a service area or a paddock was far less corporate with a more friendlier and open environment. Jason, what makes you're pieces just that bit better than most on these mythical categories is your superb attention to detail and facts, congrats. p.s. I think you're in Cali, if so, maybe pop along to Tim Allens lock up, I hear he has an RS200.

Mr. Cammisa I'm born in nice car era, mid 80's and I adore your style of commenting on cars, was watching top gear, fifth gear, car wow, throttle house, etc. but you are on another level of intelligence (Also Scotty Kilmer is fun to watch, but for other reasons). Keep the good job and give special care to cars like 190E and olders.

This has been recommended to me again, so I guess I'll rewatch it. This was when Jason was skinny and annoying when he's with Jonny Liberman. Liberman would always push Camissa into an argument which got tiring. On his own, he's brilliant.

1:56 , the guy with no shirt. Male nipple decorations a thing back then ? 🤣🤣 I could be watching this all day. Thank you so much for your work.

Oh my God! i taught that these early films will be deleted from youtube for ever, but they're coming back. Waiting for the VW Golf R vs Ford Focus RS film which is one of the best car films ever made!

I didn't know Adam Sandler did car reviews

Come on, Cammisa. More videos.

Finnaly this video! Thanks man.

Jason has been making great videos forever

$30,000 for an e30 m3? Those were the days

5:03 was a close call with the oncoming traffic.

I remember watching this on mtod. Was so angry that I had been lied to my entire life about how amazingly epic the original M3 was. Which, years later is somewhat irrelevant because I still want one…

That’s the closest JC has looked like Sandler’s stunt double, wow

This is like a one-man Top Gear: I love it.

2:00 e30 estimated value $15.000-$30.000. How the times have changed...

Yes head 2 head episodes!!!!! More please!

I was fortunate enough to get to drive a 190e 2.3-16 with the 5 speed dogleg box. I must admit, it was a fantastic drive and the car is surprisingly quick and obviously quite nimble. If I had more space I would certainly have been looking to pick one up.

I hope that you upload ALL of your old videos! =)

When did Adam Sandler get into cars?

M539 brought me here....

This is my favourite episode ❤️🔥

Mercedes Benz = Lakers! BMW = Warriors!

My mom had a 190E, but with the standard engine, and it was heavy and really really slow. I like the BMW better because it is sportier with just two doors.

We are still waiting on a revisit on the E39 M5 Jason 😊

i came down here to complain that AMG's have sports suspension and it is not intended for comfort, but he seems like a pretty good growing youtube channel.

Congratulations for new car !😼

Good to see adam sandler doing car reviews

God Jason looks young in this video

Nice.. I remember this one. I'd rather have a 190e cosworth than a e90 m3 anyday

I believe that Jason is correct. I would take the Merc everyday.

So.. THIS is when you bought your 190e, nice origin story

I agree, I’m saving money for a good condition. I drove in one cosworth engine and the ride of that car for the 190.I love the s14 engines, high rev engine, and a inline 4.

I remember this when it premiered as I also own a UK spec 2.3-16. I did wonder why you used an EVO M3 ha ha

Reminds me a lot of the M3 icons episode

I had a US 16V for ten years (and 2 engine failures). Fabulous driving car but now have something like it but maybe better: a Euro Mercedes 300CE-24 Sportline mit 5-speed Getrag, like your old 300SL. The steering, handling etc. evokes the 16V.

A young Adam Sandler

I think the best way to choose which one of the two is better is, probably, to take both of them! 😂

In those exact iterations I'm leaning toward the Beemer, but if we're talking the hottest versions of each then it's the Benz Evo II hands down. But to say they keep up with modern traffic is delusion, mind you Jason didn't specify what type of modern car he meant.

Nice content Jase. Love the channel!

My favorite part is that formula one block was an m10, the tractor 4 cylinder that went in every 320 e21. The best BMW is a e21 320 with an e30 M3 head ITBs and the full alpina trim. E30 M3 performance with a frankly more fun live axle for street driving, better interior and some glorious Bauhaus touches on the exterior.

The number three car that should be here should definitely be the Sierra Cosworth..

This was an epic story and I nearly bought an M3 because (in spite of?) it, having just sold my Valiant R/T Charger (Look it up - an Aussie muscle story that aches for a Cammisa perspective (ie. no money, old truck engine made good (semi hemi) and racing development done in cut and shut mule utes (that still exist)). I'm still kicking myself that I didn't by the E30 M3 (bought a MINT E30 manual 318i as a daily instead), but hindsight is a wonderful thing, it only allows us to kick ourselves in the ass...

When are you going to throw a 3dr Sierra cosworth into the mix?

Somebody is losing weight :)) Keep it up!

Can't wait to see how you get on with Sreten's E30 on tour. Is there going to be a vid ?

I guess the Hair Club for Men really does work!

Give him a few grays and you wouldn't be able to tell him and his father apart 😂
