Awesome thing you did with editing. Letting us hear the car and then show pictures of the car while this was playing. Genius.

I like how you cut to external views of the car at the start when he booted it ;)

Ladies and gentleman: the Ultimate Driving Machine. And my oh my what a sound it makes!

I’m just going to copy that entire build sheet into my notes. What a fantastic car, and great iinspiration for anyone who owns an E36 M3.

what a clean e36, perfect power range to enjoy

OMG my dad's bmw, I grew up in that car. Such nostalgia

Never has my heart beat this fast for a video

Damn you went all out. I miss this kind of driving from Winding Road. I wish I could actually see you hit high speeds though. Great video!

Looks so clean after 20 years , great & powerful M3 E36 .

That's one of the cleanest e36M3s ive ever seen and i've never seen a NA model slicktop. If I was the owner i'd never sell it. ever.

love the parking lot section!! Do that with every review!

I love these more fast pace POV videos

I also like the painted trim and door handles. Along with the orange lights delete this really make the E36 look more modern.

This sound

God, I miss my old E36! 😭

That is one hell of a ride.

I finally noticed the moldings are painted...eh. I like them black better.

I miss those NA BMW inline 6 motors. The last remaining motors were the N52/N53

WR the car is amazing! btw nice video fam

Quick! Cut to the photo! [car accelerates to 140mph]

6:48 Pure BMW performance right there...wow...

oh im in love. Just filmed a modded e36 m3 with over 350k miles but this thing is on another planet! Very cool

Best color sounds awesome

This is a hell of a fun car to drive.

Love the acceleration at 6:46 ; )

wonderful!

Nice ride!

i can't stop smiling for its sounds.....

Fav car.

Love it!

awesome car!

I love this car

Great car in good condition.

amazing video , i prefer videos with cars like this

Slicktop....nooice! Gotta do something about the fender rubbing though. A fender roll should suffice with those stock wheels and correct spacers.

what a beauty...

The perfect car.

that parking lot rip...dang

Nice car 👌👏

sweet car. exterior wise... these cars look great in stock form. not sure about the blue trim, euro lighting and spoiler.

How I would love to own and build a BMW but then I just think of the maintenance costs and I just shake my head.... props to the people that do it and can afford all that.

nice countersteering boss

This makes me miss my E36, even if it was just a 318

that drift at 3:02

We want bmw e92 m3 👌🏼

A bmw driver who uses blinkers

I think his car is too low. Or it need a different suspension setup. It shouldn't be scraping like that. Regardless that M3 is clean!

Chris is the passenger, that's unusual, nice car :)

good :)

Trust me, before I die, I will definitely take a midnight ride on this bimmer

Can you do a video of the 2016 Toyota Highlander gas

hoo yeaaahh !!!!!!

Great car. Perfectly looking (except the steering wheel) but I think that's taste only. :)

máquina full speed

What supercharger kit is this?

Hey, I'm located in central Oakland County, and own an 97 E36 M3. Can you give me the info on where I can get all this work done in Michigan? Watching the video, you are quite local to me, the engine modifications are what I'm shooting for, but having a hard time finding someone in Waterford to do the custom work.

Wow..

nice car , subscribe and hello from russia

is it for sale?

Blow your speakers with BMW!!!

That car is gonna go through tyres like greece goes through bail-out money. I'm pretty sure the tyres are rubbing.

How do you not show a shot of the engine bay?

raise the coilovers up a bit man!! That rubbing makes me cringe! absolutely lovely M3 otherwise and a very good driver

I believe I heard some rub in this video

original exhaust so much nicer sound. IMO.

was this filmed in Michigan?

What are the orange indicators indicating?

The owner states in his description that OEM rubber clutch and brake lines have less swell than braided steel lines??? First time I have heard that! Any scientific evidence from other viewers or owner to back that claim up?

Please respond....is this car for sale? Willing to pay VERY handsomely for it

My favourite car in the world, after the Ferrari GTC4Lusso. kkkk

Are these cars easy to tune?

okey

No sunroof ?

7:18 the best interior of all bmw will not be better and not only with bmw

hallo. nice .What are the parameters of a tire?

Who else thinks it sounds like the Lamborghini Diablo from Forza Horizon 2?

Bad car, bad driver, bad color....Just kidding! It is one of the best sounding and cleanest cars I have ever had the opportunity to ride (and drive.)....:D

Who is this guy next to you?

0:47...They were going so fast that WRM had to censor it lol.

but no airbag for driver??? not so safe

Omfg😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

I thought car throttle

Vdo

check your hands on that steering wheel, someday you will break your throat.

This is like marrying a supermodel than showing her off...what's w/t suspension? Camera guy scratching? Back to supermodel...just not fair dude...

us m3 xDDD
