Would you say that the E92 M3 deserves to be called legendary? 👇
As I own one exactly like this but DCT I am sure you know the answer. The engine just makes you happy if a lot poorer when you visit the pumps.
@@mikenorris5378 likewise Mike! Especially as I’ll only put the higher octane stuff in her 😏 Highly recommend the DCT tune upgrade if you haven’t already done so
@@mikedifford4269 I have been thinking about the DCT tune. I want it to be smoother at the more aggressive settings.
The E92 is an excellent platform. As a completely standard car it didn’t quite have the crisp edge the E46 did but with a few small changes it makes a world of difference. The S65 carried on the S54s international engine of the year title and record holding displacement category win for every year of production.
Just sold mine (DCT) last month. One of the best cars I’ve ever driven but I’m not sure if it’s legendary....yet. I think its time will come soon.
The early 2010s hold a special place in my heart in terms of cars. 458 Speciale, E92 M3, LFA, FJ Cruiser, 1M, 997 GT3 RS 4.0. Ferrari F12.
Audi R8 as well
C63 amg w204, b7 rs4 aswell
4.2 fsi??
Vantage V12 with manual gearbox as well , the end of an era 😢😢😢
The last great era
I remember when the E92 first came out, everyone was dogging on it saying it was too girly looking, it's not raw, it should have been a 6 cylinder, blah blah blah. Now, we all praise it. How ironic.
Praise that it ABSOLUTELY deserves 🔥
@@scd 100% agree with you! I always thought the initial reactions to this car was unfair.
@@AndrewNguyenOfficial Now we say G80 looks hideous, gay, blah blah... in 10 years we will praise it as the coolest looking M car 😜
Or not. Time will tell...
Not sure what country you from but nz and aus - everyone praised from start and wowwed the v8
I don't, straight 6 is iconic. And this car looks like crap. Worst design 3 series ever made
You guys gotta do an E60 M5 on this series. The V10 is biblical
You're right but the v8 was made on the same basis they just removed 2 cylinders 😉
@@samuellaurent6139 not exactly. The 5.0L v10 in the e60 M5 was co developed by BMW’s F1 race division team and crafted to best replicate a race cars engine on the road. The v8 in the e92 was then produced using the same production line setup and a similar engine block structure (the term removed 2 cylinders is not entirely true and its much more complex than that). Other than that, in all honesty it’s not that similar besides the fact that it’s NA.
i thought that engine was just notorious for blowing up
@@samuellaurent6139 absolutely wrong.
@@mTwMarco agreed
When you complement the proven M3 dynamics with a NA V8 with a 8300rpm redline,what you get is the best M3 ever made.
Agreed
Agree to disagree, purists will always know the best M3 ever made was the E46 M3s period.
@@sbvisuals63 it's funny how when people want to prove a point they reach for superficial labels instead of facts. Fact: #1 high revving v8 always better than anything inline or v6 period. #2 more power throttle response and power throughout the entire rev-range in e9x m3 (low end; mid-range; top end; you name it, it has it). #3 engine of the year 4 straight years in a row. The amount of emotion and raw feedback it gives is second to none other of the m variant bmw's produced period. The only area advantageous for the e46 is lighter chassis (weight). Not power to weight ratio, just weight (being lighter). Ur statement was a fan-boy statement with no substance to back it up. Im on my second e9x m3. It's got the supercharger kit on the way. Best car I've ever owned. Will always keep one in the family, as my race/performance whip. I'm currently looking at an 2005 e46 as my regular work horse to replace my 550i m-sport. I prefer naturally aspirated.
@@champbrady633 Agree with everything, but High revving i6s are also pretty awesome as a high revving V8 (I.e. s54)
@@rahulmandala4930
Oh they're definitely awesome. I concur. Like I said I would rather have it over anything turbo-charged from bmw. (Maybe exception for that new G80 m3 competition pack in all black of course 🔥🔥🔥). But if I had to be content with one, then I'm keeping my high revving v8 over any of them.
I like that this is the first in a series of NA celebrations.
I had the chance to drive this engine, um... this car back in the day, and revving that V8 to redline was intoxicating and unforgettable. Here I am talking about it still, 12 years later.
Left a lasting impression then!
The last M car to be powered a by a true motorsport derived powerplant! The S65 is more exotic than engines found in some exotics!
That extended fox red interior and individual piano black trim has me drooling
this is my favorite M3, it's so rightfully to be celebrated... This video is a great start of a series of reviews, will be watching the succeeding episodes too, instant thumbs-up from me guys, great video... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you like the video! We're looking forward to putting out the next 2 videos in the series!
I smile every time I hit 8k rpm!
Best BMW engine ever! Superb! Love this platform! S65 induction noise is pure music. Thanks for showcasing this beautiful caf!
Our pleasure!
Amazing car, 2nd best BMW engine ever only after its legendary V10 bigger brother.
I absolutely LOVE my E92 with its manual gearbox!!! Hands down one of the greatest driver’s cars ever created
It is!!
Sold my E92 M3 over 3 years ago. Would I have another? Too right I would. Wonderful car to drive on the open mountain roads around me. Brilliant handling and excellent steering feel for a big coupe and as said, what a noise from the induction if a little too sedate from the exhaust but easy to rectify with the common 2 pipe exhaust mod many owners undertake which gives the car that wonderful V8 Growl.
Great watch this SCD.
Couldn't agree more!
My favourite serie !! Naturally aspirated forever 💪
Currently driving a 997GT3 and a Gallardo manual. I always miss my ex e92m3 manual thou. It's such a great car!
Have a lot of time for both those cars 👏🎉
Sell the lambo and get something daily driveable! Like an e92 😂
@@oscardominguez1680 actually the Gallardo is daily drivable mechanically. Just that everyone thought I was a CZcamsr so I didn't take it to work
@@alvene1 just kiddind. You have a dream garage!
Great vid. I have an E93 M3. I will never, ever, ever sell it. Amazing, I have exhaust cutouts on mine. At 8500 it's outrageous. They are a complete bargain in the US right now. A true hooligan car, so, so, so much fun. I have many other cars including 996 turbo s, Abarth 500, and Saab 9-2x Aero. M probably my favorite. Cheers
The e93’s are great because your can hear all the induction noise as well! I have an e92 m3, e93 m3 and an e46 m3. Would not trade any of them for anything! Since gas got so expensive I bought an i3 bmw and it is also surprisingly fun 😂but I miss the exhaust sounds for sure
Same here. Have fun !
When you say bargain how much??
@@startingtech3900 Well, I got my 2011 M3 with 27k miles on it for 27K dollars. But, that was a few years back and It was in Hawaii. They, like most cars today, were a good deal. But, everything has gone up. However, I did just get a good deal on a Cayman S in Hawaii again. They like Japanese cars in auto. So, german manuals are a good deal. Cheers oh 800 to ship back.
@@tedwarner1041 nice brother about to buy one w 118k miles 6 speed for 20k which is unheard of in CA. borla exhuast too. How reliable are they??? Thx in advance bro
Peak driver's car was the late '90's and '00's. No doubt about it. I miss it already
So glad to see this video done on the E-92 M3! What a car, and what an engine. Defiantly going to be a future classic. I think anyone who drives one will instantly get it. Well done!
Really enjoyed this. That M3 is such a nice example too.
Great video Miles...well done!
I am obsessed with this car. As soon as i saw it back in 2007, I said to myself "I HAVE to own of these one day"
Did you get one ?
Very good video guys.
I bought one (but dkg) one year ago and it's a sensational car that I allways love to drive, even for comuting to work. If someone wants to feel the sensations of a big naturally aspirated engine on any car this is the moment! modern cars are about turbos, hibrid systems, driving assistance, etc...
Quality video! It’s great to see content that really exemplifies the qualities that this car has, and the praise that it deserves. I’ve had my E92 M3 competition for 4 years now and if anything I enjoy it more with each passing year. My mind was set on a manual gearbox, but the DCT truly won me over when I test drove it. It compliments the engine perfectly and I wouldn’t want any other setup now.
It’s been tastefully modified, and the latest addition was a full carbon Eventuri setup (intake, plenum and airbox lid). The induction noise it now makes is truly intoxicating, it’s literally like a V8 CSL. With the windows up and on wide open throttle, all you can hear is the S65 bellowing out that distinctive roar. It’s truly transformed the car. It would be great if you could do another video on this setup, it truly needs to be experienced.
They won’t make anything like this again, and I can’t see myself ever wanting to let it go.
We have a DCT comp car too in matching spec to this and will never sell it! How much was the Eventuri setup? Any videos? Feels like the E92 has been undervalued for way too long and it needed the airtime
Such a nicely filmed and color graded video, keep up the good work!
Thank you for this video, glad to see M3 getting the love it deserves. I have the E93 M3 and will never sell it...it’s a beast
Same, I'm keeping my E92 forever.
Could not agree more,I have had mine 4 years and fitted a supercharger..drives very similar with an even more rampant top end. It’s so awesome!
Cars today are this... going fast now isn’t cool or special..it’s how it goes about it that’s special. Everything is fast today but very few cars do it with soul,emotion and passion.
Enter the e92 m3,it gives you feelings other (even much faster cars) can’t give you. It’s timeless shape and imo they’re getting better with age!
I can’t see where I’d go next,new cars leave me feeling a bit underwhelmed.
Great video!
Great videos folks. You do amazing work....I’m a huge fan. Please keep it coming.
Great video guys. Love my E92 M3. Will never sell. Never ever! 😍
Fantastic video, looking forward to the other cars in the series 😆
Nothing like the sound of a singing n/a v8. Great video and can’t wait for the rest of the series 🏎 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! We’re looking forward to releasing the next 2 episodes 🙌🏻
Great start of the new series and a wonderful spec M3 ✌
Thanks for watching ✌️
great review !
Great video guys!
Amen. Great video. I'm 6 years into e92 m3 ownership
@Anthony Galloni every day !
@Anthony Galloni first was silver stone. Current is space grey. Bamboo beige leather !
Super cool video right on.
As I have had one of the other 21 UK registered manual Competition Package E92s, from new, I heartily agree!
I also remember, and shared, the underwhelming response to the 2007 launch cars, but they were poorly specced (Imola Red/Bamboo and on 18 wheels....) and the absolute best colours for the E92 are light - especially Alpine White, or Mineral White. The styling/sculpture of the E92 really does not show through in darker colours, or in 2D when you see pictures or videos. Seeing in the metal for the first time definitely started to change my mind, and when I drove one on the Nordschleife it was clearly a long way ahead of the E46 in handling terms (I was on my 2nd E46 M3 at the time).
Standard E92 M3 rides much better than the E46 M3 - so does the CP, but with added sharpness to the handling.
Icing on the cake is much better refinement when not trying, and that engine is absolutely sublime.
You need a manual to really appreciate the superb throttle response, and the rate at which the revs fly at the top end, where the engine feels and sounds totally unstressed, definitely mean you need some shift-lights. Why BMW did not provide these for manual cars is a mystery.
Fortunately, I have them on my M Performance steering.
And the Comp Pack wheels are the best looking ever put on a BMW. But heavy....
Oh....nearly forgot....nice video!
Great video. Thanks for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another high quality video. Great content, really enjoyed it!
Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it! Episode 2 and 3 are shaping up nicely!
A big thumbs up to Miles!
Absolutely loved my E92 M3 with comp pack. the sounds alone were enough to have me sold. it's just fantastic.
Couldn't agree more! We LOVE our E92.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Great stuff,guys!
Thank you 🙏
What an intro 🙌
Well done all, enough epic watch, a few famous Lacey drifts would be epic
Thanks Royd ✌️
Beautiful video as always. Still don't understand how this channel doesn't have millions of subscribers
Thanks for watching! We may get there one day 🙏🚀💯
Fantastic Video! Love it and love the car
Thanks a lot!
Yes, I’ve enjoyed it every day for the past 5 years. Test pipes + M Performance exhaust, chills down my spine every time the settings are off.
Well said!
Had 3 of the newer F8x ones. Ended up “going backwards” to an e92 competition pack, and I’m in NA heaven. The MPE and Eventuri plenum which is en route will only heighten the experience.
Ah awesome! Yeah we ran an M4 comp for a bit and it was way too spikey. Love the linear power train of this V8!
Jealous of the carbon plenum
Supercar Driver Thanks mate. Ordered it mid January and still 4 weeks to wait. There’s currently a 16 week lead time now. Having heard one in person, they absolutely transform the intake sound. 😎
Supercar Driver Dread to think what I lost on the 3 cars combined also. The last one was an M4CS which I bought brand new, then they absolutely tanked, I took advantage of the higher prices last year during covid, otherwise I’d say I’d still be in neggy now on it 😬😬
@SanMarino_CS Good choices, I have both the MPE and Eventuri plenum and imo its a perfect combination. Not the loudest setup but the MPE has a really nice tone
Crazy good quality
This made me get goosebumps... you are so right! „What more do you want??“ Ok... maybe the 458 Speciale... 😅
Nice Speedy!! This guy has taste!! 👏🏻
458 Speciale video dropping on Friday!
great vid cant beat the V8 grunt!
Brilliant!
My friend had 8/2011 version of this car. Portland to Seattle on Germantown Road highly recommended. It was a twisty paradise and this car handled like a dream
Excellent
I couldn't agree with your video more about the e92 m3. I had one in silverstone for 4 years and I still miss it. I had to replace it with a CLS shootbrake for my first baby. Now I have a Tesla model X for family and a 997.2 turbo for fun. However, I would say even though the turboed 911 is a beast I still think about getting an e92 again. It is such a special car.
They really need an eventuri intake and plenum to make them come alive. Great work, looking forward to the rest of the series.
We're looking forward to putting out the next 2 videos! Thanks for watching!
Great car, great video !
Glad you like it! It definitely is!
Thanks for explaining why we are lucky. These are special cars.
That spec is perfect 👌🏻
We love it 😍
The best channel for atmospheric engines lovers, unbeateable. Enzo Ferrari would be a fan of the channel, sure. Sorry for my english.
What a video guys. The scene at the end when the specialie is racing by was incredible. About to buy a silver stone M3 e93 6 speed Bc of this video!
Thanks for watching snd enjoy the car! You won’t regret it 🙌
@@scd guy raised the price on me by 3k right at last minute. It has 120k miles and is salvaged. I’m not sure now. For 20k it was a steal. For 23,000$ if I save a little more I can get a clean title w 80k for 25. WhT you think 🤔 guys
The S65 engine makes peak power at 8300rpm, redline starts at 8400 and ends near 8500. I know a few hundred rpm don't mean much but i see it commonly mistaken, and it actually matters in a car where peak power is produced so close to redline, where you have to wring every rpm out of it for max performance, particularly in the manual tranny with wider spaced gearing.
Honda k20 Motors, BMW inline 6 from the e46 M3, Bmw M3 V8, M5 v10, LS7, Lexus 5.0 V8, Mustang gt350 V8, Porsche 4 liter gt3, Ferrar 355 v8, 430 scud v8, 458 speciale v8, 599 GTO V12, LFA V10, 812 GTS, ASTON MARTIN V12, mercedes 6.2 amg V8..... SOME of my NA HEROS.
I own and E92 M3 LCI Manual, and it's a brilliant car. Still feels modern and relevant despite being 10 years old, does all the fun things and sings above 5500rpm.
The revs of this V8 simply sound glorious in fact it's sound is reminiscent of V8's from stock cars of the 70's, this car truly is underrated.
This is top quality material.
the video yea the car nooo!!!
my unlces m3 broke down after 100k.
its a POS.
@@homescool3767 Oh noooooo.
@@NathanElcoate oh yess
@@homescool3767 the car still is a cool car, even with all the BMW Bullshit packed into it...its sad how BMW always engineers major "Fuck-Ups" into all of their M cars...
Love the speedy 👌
Please more of E92 m3 !
Finally getting its due, nice video
Deserving!
You make vídeos with my dreams, pure art. I Love this manual V8, i dream with It. I would send muy soul for him. Hurts not to drive It. Sorry for my english.
Im buying an e92 next month! CANNOT wait! Alpine white with red interior is what I want
You won’t regret it!!!
A wonderful celebration of the finest NA motors - thank you!
Where is this filmed, please?
It's not a supercar, but do you have plans to feature the DC2 Integra Type R? For a while, it held the record for engine specific output (an award inherited by the S2000). For a humble 4-cylinder, it's still rather special at 8900rpm (or 9.5k in mine).
Thanks again to you all at SCD 👍👌
I am not giving mine up! (2012 mineral white ZCP 6sp). A European muscle car for its time! Brings Joy to this motor-head every time I drive her
Gorgeous Speedmaster. Car isn't bad either.
also looks the best imo
Space Grey on Fox Red 6MT E92 M3 👌 great spec!
Thanks! We love it.
Just when I thought they wouldn't make another video for the e92 m3 (i've seen every single one of them on CZcams) and I found this! Thanks so much for making this video!
More M3 content coming later in the year!!
Could listen to those pipes all day +1
Is not about having 1000HP, the question is: Do they have the skill to handle it? The E92 M3 it is not a kids toy. This machine is a beast for those who can handle it.
Its 2022. By todays standards its slower than a golf r. Cars a joke
Great vid! Perhaps a review on the original R8 V8 some time soon??
Great car, was expensive to run but worth it - glad to have owned such an iconic V8
We couldn't agree more. A fantastic engine
The E92 will one day be called one of the best M cars ever made. I absolutely am obsessed with the E92. I have an emotional attachment with that car, it's an end of era....The E92 is truly the ultimate M series car
I had an E92 M3 DCT for 220,000 miles and loved every minute of it. The rev matching on the down shits were intoxicating.
Fair play 👏
After that may miles how was it running? What repairs had you done?
@@matthewm5640 throttle body actuators, dct clutch, and rod bearings. Still ran great.
Agreed 👍
The voodoo has to make an appearance in this series
No need to, it's a good engine but it's basically the same concept as this engine - only 10 years later. Has more power because of more displacement but it lacks induction sound compared to E92 M3.
Nice video! Proud to be an owner of a 2011 E92 M3 Competition! Frozen grey with DCT, love it! 30 k miles :)
Sounds like you've got a real gem there! Only 30k miles!
POS BMWs that will break on u
@@homescool3767 You seem to be a bit obsessed with this...
@@TonyBrQ just giving you the facts
Excellent stuff! The red line on the e92 is 8400 rpm.
Thanks for watching
And I love it
This has to be the best video on the e92 m3 🔥🔥🔥 wish we have those roads to really stretch this beast. To be featured next to a Ferrari & Lamborghini speaks volumes. Great Video!
Thanks! Check out our 2 latest videos, Episodes 4 and 5 of the series!
Friday 2nd April 5:30pm .....can't wait
I had a m135i and fancied something different. Bought a Lupo GTI which I absolutely love. I'm pretty sure the E92 M3 will be my next car I just don't know if I can get rid of the Lupo just yet!
Honda K20 got to be in with a shout, M3 sounded incredible on headphones ♥️
F20?
K20 is a great shout! It’s technically better than the F20
@@thedownshiftchannel what makes you say that?
@@Marz2695 the K20 has steel liners as opposed to the FRP reinforced ones which can cause wear and is difficult to maintain. It also has iVtec which is 100% programmable so can be tuned to suit application much better where the F is more a switch and closer to the older B series. Both excellent engines but the K is more capable
@@thedownshiftchannel good points, though I didn't realise there was much difference between the VTEC systems. Thanks!
Request: E39 M5
Great video guys, as always.
Thank you dude
Aston Martin V8 Vantage!!!!!
Great car especially the manual version. You can't beat a decent sized normally aspirated high revving engines found in the likes of the E46/E92 M3, Porsche 996/997GT3/RS and Ferrari 430 coupled to a manual gearbox.
No you can't! That whole era of cars was wonderful.
International engine of the year 2008,2009,2010,2011 and 2012…. Nothing else to say. Amazingly brilliant car to drive and enjoy. Heavenly
After driving it, we are NOT surprised 😍
I bought an E90 M3 6 speed manual about 2 months ago, I get my licence back in 10 days... These types of videos have been the only way I have been able to stop myself from taking it out
What happened DUI?
Or speeding ?
These sound even better with a Eventuri carbon plenum, it might even rival the M3 CSL
Really? That’s a bold statement
@@scd good reason for a side by side video I reckon ;)
@@scd They sound even better than the CSL because you get the same induction noise, but with the v8.
We want more Legends of the Naturally Aspirated Engines like the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG W204, BMW E60 M5, Porsche Carrera GT, Lexus LFA, Dodge Viper,
Lamborghini Murciélago V12 and Ferrari F12
My only problem with mine....
14.6 mpg and 200 miles range.
ohh and repair bills.
everything is 3k to fix...
rod bearing.. 3k
clutch.. 3k
rear suspension 3k
and rear tires... man can it chew them up if ya like.,
My idrive is horrible.. but i have an iphone...
the engine noise to redline and the steering feel is everything.
nice simple perfect
I average 21.4 mpg on mine. It was 16.1 mpg until my last service lol
@@MumenRider78 I Can get 21 in 6th going 65....
You forgot the electronic dipstick
Great cars. The period from 2000 to around 2013 was great for high revving normally aspirated engines with card like Porscher 996/997 GT3/RS, BMW M3 E46 & E92, Ferrari 360/430, Pagani Zonda, Carerra GT etc. Modern high performace turbo or hybrid motors don't hold the same appeal to me.
It sure was! The N/A sweet spot
