- Over the past 50 years, BMW M has made some of the most legendary and well-loved performance cars in the world. But away from the iconic but limited edition headline-grabbers like your CSes, CSLs and GTSes, which generation of "basic" M car best embodies the brand's values of motorsport-inspired performance, authenticity, engineering excellence, and single-minded dedication to Sheer Driving Pleasure? Jonathan Lim takes a trip back to the M cars of his childhood to find out.

The quality the sounds the info are all deserving of much more views bro this is wonderful
I had them all including the e39 m5 (which was very nice). but the one that gave, gives me still the most pleasure and the one I kept was the 1M. Super fun, agile and fast. has the feeling of connectivity to the road and it also has a bit modern feel in terms of media and look.
I've recently had a 1M, and a E39 M5 too long term, driven a e90 M3, and now own a E46 M3. I agree with the reviewer - the E46 M3 is just right. However, always appreciate we all like things for different reasons.
@@blairheaton9042 haha interesting , I started with an e46 m3 , good choice btw. Super nice ride, almost perfect but for me a bit underpowered. If you can add about 50hp+ would be just right
@@dee1251that was my same experience with e46m, over the years i’ve stuck with the e92m, it just hits all the sweet spots for me. i just wish it was 200lbs lighter.
@@nickt5978 Honestly, thats pretty achievable if the car is stock. Lighter wheels, seats (pole positions save 62 lbs), titanium exhaust, and carbon hood/trunk. Would get you somewhat close to that 200lb mark while still being a good daily. But obviously very expensive to do that.
To me and I’m sure I’m not alone, the 1M is the real return of a modern m3 e36, the philosophy behind it being taking the smallest production car and putting the biggest engine for its time … the 1M checked those boxes perfectly in my opinion
*My E92 ///M 2013 competition package Still gets me hype!!*
Superb video! Congratulations
as someone whose owned a variation of all these at some point the e92 is still my absolute favorite, and all of it is that engine it’s the most magnificent, smooth and enjoyable experience i’ve had driving a car. paired with a manual and that diff with proper suspension like kw’s it makes the car feel alive. Granted i didn’t have a 1m but i did have a 135i with all m3 subframe components including a lsd, i felt the car was too tail happy for the road and just over all too fast to enjoy on the roads i live near. The e46 was almost perfect all it needed was a little more torque. as much as i love revving it out by the time your in the powerband you have to slow down it would’ve benefited highly from shorter gearing but still a brilliantly balanced and fast chassis in factory form. this is a great video and this deserves more veiws.
E92 = best sounding
E46 = iconic nostalgia
1M = best sensations
Awesome video of these great M Cars 👍 well presented and well put together
Didn't need to watch the video to know peak M car was the E46 M3. That was BMW in God Mode with that silky smooth straight six.
Professional quality motoring journalist content, it felt like I was watching a video produced by top gear or fifth gear but better, you present as a knowledgeable car enthusiast. Keep up the amazing work, I'm sure you will rival the best CZcamsrs out there with videos like this. Best of luck to you!
Great video. After that amazing presentation I scrolled down expecting 200k views and 1 mil subs.
Absolutely top quality video, fan from UK!
Great video!! 🙌🏽
Great video
Very good Choice of Cars to compare. Loved the Video
Great review
Great work. Respect from Canada
1M owner
once you get in touch with the car it’s wonderful even in the wet.
Great breaks for wet weather driving.
Amazing video. Would love to see you do a head to head comparison of the e34, e39 and e60 m5s
Agreed.
I’ll take the 1M
The e92 and e46 m3 are my two favourites, however the reliability on the e92 is not great and its upkeep is considerably higher than the e46 m3. Which is why when I get one, it’ll be the e46.
I have had E36 (USA Version), E46 M3 and M Coupe (Clownshoe). The most fun and reliable performance was the E36 version. Lightweight, smooth shifting and low maintenance cost. The E46 M3 is faster but also heavier. All around great cars though before all the computers and safety features took over.
Nice Film!
I'm curious what rubber (and how old it was) was on the 1M - the grip levels did look extraordinarily low in this video, especially considering it only has stock power. I run 600hp in my 1M and my car is wayyyyyy more planted and controllable than what I just watched.
Also, there was an official E82 M car project - it was called the 128tii concept, and featured a turbo 2.0L engine. That project never saw the light of day though - until recently when BMW resurrected the nameplate for their Mini-derived FWD 1 series.
600?? thats alot. my is stock , but I wouldn't mind getting some more power , I'm thinking around 420-470 should be fine for the size and street. I got 4s on my and noticed a diff in comparison to the original ss. What would you recommend to get it to the 420-470 hp? i have mhd but haven't used it yet.
@@dee1251 If you are talking crank HP, MHD stage 2+ will get you to the lower end of that power range, along with a good intercooler and downpipes.
If that’s power at the wheels though, you will need hybrid turbos.
@@BMW1M cool thanks , what’s a good intercooler and downpipes ? From FCP euro or where is the best place to grab it from ?
@@dee1251 I would recommend Wagner or VRSF for the intercooler and downpipes, and Evolution Racewerks or VRSF for the chargepipe.
I have had good experiences with Bimmerworld and FCP Euro.
@@BMW1M thank you sir
E46 CSL is up there and as a NA engine not comparable to the 1M. I really like the 1M though.
i think the e46 had an smg before and looks like it was swapped to a manual. based on the steering wheel
I miss my e46 m😢but love my F13
Great video, but biased towards the e46 lol
I think you forgot to include m2 in the comparison
M5 e39
I have them but only 1M is still sitting in my garage..
If he talked slower i would hear what he said.
uuuuh what?
M2CS is better than either one of these. Take it from a guy who owns a CRT and a DINAN S2 E46 M3.
Sure it's better, but not sure it's more enjoyable
I can’t understand what he’s saying accent is very bad
i don’t think it’s his accent I think it’s your number of brain cells just make some effort ignore he’s Chinese for a second and listen to the words
😂 well said racist fool
