- I wanted to do an overview of what you should know before you purchase an E92 M3. Everything from service costs such as Rod Bearings, Throttle Actuators, Idle Control Valve and more to some of the options offered when the car was new. Transmission options DCT vs 6MT, Carbon roof vs Slicktop, interior options and more. Hope you enjoyed the video and learned something, let me know what other questions you have regarding the E92 and please provide your feedback! I'd love to film more videos that are informational, so drop your questions below!

I'm an Audi owner (3.0 Supercharged) and don't usually watch BMW videos, but yours appeared in my algorithm , and just have to say, if I bought an M3, I'd want to mod it to look basically just like yours. I love your choices, everything from the wheel choice to the stance, fitment and even colour of car and brakes callipers. Amazing looking car man!
lol audi
I've owned five BMWs I have put well over 100,000 miles on each one of them I've never had any problems with any of them besides my 330ci fuel pump went out underneath the backseat took me about an hour $75 that's it out of five..... I can only speak on 3 Series with the inline 6 best power plant ever extremely reliable...... I really don't know why so many people have problems I don't I think it's a lot of kids end up with these cars and it's to the floor every time they take off maybe that's what it is kids get ahold of these cars and beat the crap out of them with no maintenance...... Thing is people will go out and buy a BMW but don't have the money to maintain it you got to take care of it just like any other car very easy to change your oil but you got to do and don't pay to have it done changing the oil is literally the simplest thing on the planet if you can drain water out of a ice chest you can change your own oil:-) LOL
same here bro👋🏻 im an Audi S4 B8.5 owner and im planning on buying this as my second car 🗿
@@flow_922 no its the fact bmws like to manifest issues from thin air i buy and sell cars i buy a ton of audis to this day and there is a reason we stay away from bmw and probably wont get close to another merc for a long time. With audi u know the bad ones there are no mysteries dont buy an early b8 2.0 and u are golden with bmw or merc u never know (speaking from experience)
Headlites not important
Probably the best “everything you should know” video regarding these cars. Good job man 👌
was thinking the exact same thing . i actually learned alot
Try the in-depth review from savagegeese
Literally was about to comment the same thing, well said of the owner 👏🏽
😊😊@@roymoorman5990
I just love the way this car sounds. Literally one of the best sounding v8’s.
It’s THE best sounding v8
American pushrod V8s sound way nicer

@@alexanderjk3285 all american v8s sound generic. Deep gargly and annoying when way too loud. The e92 m3 sounds harmonious with its hum. It's cold start sometimes sounds like its cammed.
@@abrahamg3354 American V8s sound like pure testosterone. Also they are less complicated, easier to work on. BMW also aren't known for their V8s and really it's just a nightmare to own them.
E9x literally has the best body spec. Hands down . Some simple mods make it look beastly
Absolutely agree. 10 years later it still looks fresh. E9X was ahead of its time
@@treliq that's what is mind blowing about it man. Superb engineering even in todays day. If you want the best driving experience, get yourself one of these. You won't regret it. They hold their value really well to.
@@tN_Disparity sold my e93 for an f22 but I still have a soft spot for E9Xs when I see them. Good memories - my first 6cyl engine 😍
this video is just filled with KNOWLEDGE
thank you for giving your KNOWLEDGE on what to look out for
Clean and tasteful build. This car is at exactly where it should be at this moment. All the mods and specs went to the direction where you wanted. It’s blessed to have someone who knows his stuff. I can’t agree more with what you have mentioned in the video and I’m at this point where I regretted it so much that I sold mine 😢. I’m planning on buying another one in the future and keep it for as long as I can. Can’t wait till that day comes around
So much KNOWLEDGE in this one. Really though, this is going to help a lot of people who are considering the E9x platform. Very well done man!
God dam man! Best e9x m3 info out there. You literally answered all my questions that I’ve had for years. Always got different answers but your explanation is unbeatable 👌🏼💯
you're totally right that it's more about the experience than putting up the best numbers. i want a car that's FUN to drive and this is it. plus it's hella civilized when you want it to be. I've used mine for camping, track days, 2000+ mile road trips, and for daily commutes to work.
How many miles on your E9x?

This is such a great video! I just picked up a 2011 E92 with the competition package and couldn’t be happier with it.
I passed through a Sonic in my E92 M3 awhile back and heard some kid outside comment "those cars are actually really slow" lol. I wanted to offer him a ride through the canyon and see the terror on his face but unfortunately he didn't have access to an adult diaper and you know I gots to keep the bamboo interior clean 😆
😭😭
is my x5m faster than my E93 m3? absolutely. Is the M3 "slow"? nope. Will I end up supercharging the M3 at some point in the future? Probably.
@@juhthreef The s65 supercharged is definitely a beast! I rode in my friend's and holy cow it rips. I'll probably eventually do the same 😁
Appreciate you taking the time to drop so much “knowledge” on us.
E92 is literally my dream car. Love your content man! Thank you for posting!
Perfect video thank you! Been searching for an e92 M3 and was confused on all the different options. Life savior
Very Clean E92 my friend, it looks very OEM plus. I had a 2012 E92 Comp that I sold after three years of ownership. I absolutely loved the high revving 4 liter and the racing nature of the engine in general. It was one of my favorite cars all time and probably should have kept it. I do have a F82 M4 Comp now and I love it as well, it does sound like a shop vac compared to the E92...solid power though. I'll take delivery of my G82 M4 Comp in a few weeks we'll see how they all stack up against one another.
Let me know your thoughts on how vast the difference is between your F82 and G82. Thank you.
It's been a month how she doing she arrived yet?
@@andrehenry2362 Yes...last Friday in fact. My big take aways thus far is steering is much improved and it's considerably faster than my F82. I have a few buddies doing a track day in a few weeks here in Southern California but, I'm not sure I'm up to the task of exploiting all this power. Also the carbon seats are a huge improvement over the last gen.
Really proud of you man for going with each generation and enjoy them, congratulations on the new M4. I have a good friend that has a G82 M4 Competition that I drove, and fell in love with, power, the way she drives, how low is to the ground (KW suspension), the control you have, you can have plenty of fun in it + the interior and the technology upgrade is a lot better than the F82, I can talk all day about that car.. My plan is to buy an M3 E92, and an M4 and I'm leaning towards the new one, but we'll see, need to work hard first, but the goal for this year is to buy one.
Whats ur job bro i need something to study and u seem rich asf🙂
You’re videos keep making me want an E92 more and more. Hopefully this will be my next car!
Your car is beautiful. Informative video Glad to see someone keeping up on all of the necessary maintenance. This generation M3 is my favorite. Just ordered a 2022 M340i. My first BMW.
As others have said, this is a really useful, informative video. Thanks for taking the time man 🙏🏻
Those roller shots at the beginning and end of the video are beautiful, lots of knowledge. 😉
The amount of KNOWLEDGE is insane, great vid
Good and informative video! Just wanted to say that since most people replace the con. rod bearings at higher mileage than you (e.g. 50-60k) it is good to replace the engine mounts at the same time. In the general case there is no additional labour and the original ones are pretty tired by then.
knawledge af!!! absolutely love the detail and effort in this vid. much love bro
You are a great youtuber man just got a sub, really impressed you went straight to the point and were honest… so hard to find these days.
Much KNOWLEDGE in this video bro, interesting to watch. And I am hyped for more videos with your e92, its soo clean man
thanks for making this video brother, you really went into detail and it was very informative.
I daily drive a 2006 130i with a Quaife LSD - and fully understand what you mean about enjoying the overall driving experience (and not just straight-line power). Have driven a 2012 E93 M3 like it owed me money too - wicked balance of power, handling and overall driving pleasure - and that cracking V8 sound... Thanks for a most informative video indeed. "Knowledge"
Great video! I think oil analysis is useful regardless of what type of bearing is in your car.
Oil analysis can reveal existing or new emerging issues in your engine that aren't bearing related.
Lots of good info in your video though!
No way i thought u was just a instagram guy, so nice to see you uploading on the youuutube ! Keep up the great content, ur one of the few that i love peeping ur progress.
Really thinking about getting an e90x. Great video, and wheels and brake setup is amazing.
Hi I changed mine at 129 mile ride bearings just court them I’ve got a miss on the engine and airbag lights crazy still love it and I’ve got an e46 m3 I’ve enjoyed your video keep up the good work
one of cleanest e92 I've ever soon
this is exactly how i would want to build one
wow, you got a new sub
The amount of KNOWLEDGE in this video is amazing.
Hi !
I’m searching for an E92 M3 to replace my 335i
Your video is very informative and packed with useful things
Thanks for that
Your M3 is gorgeous 👌🏻
Amazing video bro 🙌🏽 very informative, definitely considering this car once I’m done with the F30
Very info video and I really love the look of your E92 M3, quite the perfect spec from my point of view
The video quality is superb. I would love to have an E92, great looking and sounding car.
I bought an E34 530i around 15+ years ago which started my love for BMW's. I moved on to an E46 M3 which then reinforced my love for Brimmer's. Then the E60 M5 cemented my love. I sold the E46 to get the E60 and will be selling the E60 to get an E92 M3. Thank you for the video as it definitely helped push me from the fence into buying the last of the great N/A Bimmers.
Bro you prob have one of the best M3 in the Game and hella KNOWLEDGE on it too. Shout out to Mike too he's a great Mechanic!
Keeping up with this level of quality, you'll grow to 500k in under 5 years.
Gr8 Video, and NICE E92 M3 Working on my 08 Jerez E92 M3 as we type. ALL ur vids are very informative, Kudos and keep them coming..
Really nice looking M3 you have there mate. Clean, metallic and strong.
Good mention on the transmissions! So many people give the DCT hate as an "auto", even though it's far from a normal auto. The best way to figure out which one for you is just to drive both. I was completely set on getting a 6MT E90 until I was convinced to try the DCT. I ended up buying the DCT. It really is that good.
Excellent call out. My theory is most 6MT owners have never driven the DCT version
I absolutely agree! I had the pleasure of driving an E90 M3 6mt which was an absolute blast! Butttt then I hopped in an E92 DCT and it’s such an amazing transmission. Don’t get me wrong I love driving stick, but the DCT is made for this high revving V8.
Does the DCT maintenance cost actually high ??
Bought an e92 m3 in 6mt without the thought of the dct. After a year and everyone raving about the dct I decided to try one out. The upshifts were out of this world giving you a shove in between gears. But the delay on downshifts was awful. (This was setting 5 and gts tune). I’m glad I went with the 6mt although I’m looking at 4.44 gears because I’m not a fan of how long the gearing is.
@@ironickuykratoey8851 Fuck no. I redline my '12 comp pack every fucking day. The DCT is an absolute beast. It's one of the top 10 fastest shifting transmissions in the world. You can tune it to the gt softwhere tune. It's reliable as fuck.
oil pan gasket , transimision gasket , fuel pump, nice ride love your set up !
We have a lot of great indy shops here on the East Coast, (North Carolina, Georgia and Florida) prices for service, repairs, and preventive maintenance. Prices are much lower than California for the issues you mention and are of the best quality. Some of us track our cars. We have a ton of enthusiast here for the brand, we have great meetups, clubs and monthly "cars and coffee" to share our experiences with our cars, modification, etc. You should road trip out to the East Coast, then you could have some first hand experience of the roads we drive and meet some of the crew. Great video, fantastic looking car. Keep up the great work.
Great info! If prices get "reasonable", I may put the car back into consideration!
First video ive watched and an instant subscribe from me, really good detailed video and its my all time dream car, cant wait till i get one
Knowledge.
All the way from South Africa...
Can't watch rn but had to come on and drop a like for that e92!
bro this car is beautiful! thank you for the video
Yes the “knowledge” is abundant
Hey man just wanted to say absolutely great video, your car is super clean… and as a future M3 owner I found your video very resourceful. You definitely dropped some KNOWLEDGE 😂
One of my dream daily drivers is an E90 M3 so I’m sure this video will come in handy! 😂
Thanks for this video! 👍🏻
Perfect as always! 👌
Best M3 ever built in terms of engine capacity, sound🥺sweeettt😁and looks😍😍😍it has everything 👏👏👏
solid review and amazing looking car!
I like that .. "Securing your financial future .. first" nice video
Perfect video 🔥 even after 2 years
This is a stunning build💯👍
Very informative! Thank you. Currently have an 09 335i.
Great Video Man 💯
KNOWLEDGE, great video bro
Thanks for the heads up, man.
You got that thing looking fresh, brotha.
Nice one mate! Very informative. A little suggestion, try puting in some cinematic of the car from different angles instead of standing and filming when talking.
Great video. I would recommend that anyone who is replacing their TA's replace the fuel breather valve at the same time. The actual valve is $80 if you buy from Bosch (same part number as the $130 BMW part) and can be replaced in under five minutes since the plenum is already off for the TA service.
Answered all my questions thanks !
Knowledge - Great video, thank you!
Finally got one and absolutely love it. My family practically had to drag me out of the garage because I couldn't stop looking at it. Wanna make mine look a lot like yours we have similar taste in mods
I moved from an e92 330i 2010 to an f36 435i 2015 and this M3 was ‘the one that got away’ for me. I was really close to buying one but am starting a family and just couldn’t justify the trade offs (mileage, maintenance costs). Hopefully one day I can drive or own one because I’m now spending thousands trying add some life in my F36! I miss the handling of my e92 :(
Very informative video thanks man. The car is great !
A true manual supremacist, especially with these top trim levels, not enough like you man! I plan on getting a E90 M3 eventually around 100k miles. Thanks for this video btw.
good luck with that my guy
The DCT is such a dope transmission!!! I always wanted a 6 spd E92 until I drove the DCT. Just bought my own a couple days ago!
Driven both, I used to think I loved this car no matter what, I later learned that if it only came in dct I wouldn’t care about it at all. A lot of the reason I love my m3 is because of the manual, without it, it’s just another car to me. Pushing my m3, ripping through the gears, rev match downshifting and listening to that incredible exhaust creates a unique experience that always makes me smile and doesn’t get old, it feels like I’m playing an instrumental.
It’ll be a sad day when manuals die but these memories will live with me forever.
@@LegendInThaMakin great story
The DCT transmission isn't reliable.
Beautiful car dude. Ive always loved M3s and the E93 has been my favorite since they came out. I wouldn't trade my Raptor for one but id love to have one as a project car.
man looks so good ..first seconds ii thought its was videogame ...i swear ....i love this color in ur bmw
Knowledge. Love this car!
I had a 2011(single hump) 328i (3.0 n/a inline 6).
Your car is beautiful. My favorite body style 3 series.
knowledge! great vid!!
love u so much dude perfect vid ty so much. i am about to buy one and u helped me a lol. your car is fire btw ;)
Thanks for the KNOWLEDGE bro
Not even shopping for an E92, Just love watching your content 👌🏾
Knowledge.... Man Thank you!
Very Informative! Thank you!
This has the best aesthetics imo. I didn't realize they were so relatively affordable. "Thanks", now I'm going down a rabbit hole. 😂
Clean car bro , you kept it since an sleek 🤘🏻
from a bmw tech, valve covers, oil pans, tend to start to leak at 65-90k. it also depends on how you drive the vehicle.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing
knowledge, love the vids
Damn needed this 6 months ago, when I was trying to buy mine 😭, had to learn all this stuff on my own or the hard way 😂😂
Really good video love the E92 m3😎
auto rev match accusation is the greatest compliment ever
Thank you, this was awesome 👌
Love the video thank you for making it
Another great video
We are a 328i E92 M Sport Package, sure you know. Leather Seats, M Sport suspension, DTC paddle Shifters, Ect. Anyway, ok it's a Stright Six, but in the 12 years we have had the car it's been reliable, and for all the haters, yes, reliable. It's for us the Ultimate driving machine. Cool car to drive. But all of us Bimmer fanatics respect each other no matter what BMW one might have. Happy cruising BMW Brother..!
Great video dude
This is a super awesome video, I just recently turned 19 and i really want to get one of these, I don't really have money close to the price tag of one of these seeing as I wasn't blessed with the most wealthy parents but i've been working pretty hard and I'll continue to work my hardest and maybe i can get one for myself in 2 - 3 years😅 wish me luck👍
Amazing clips😍
Awesome vid man. I have a 2011 c63 but I still love to hear about the bmw counterpart. Hope to own one of these some day.
What’s it like owning a w204?
@@kingjackoff6708 I use to own a 2009 C63. It was tuned to 540hp. It‘s amazing, fast and reliable also sounds great! I would grab one before they keep skyrocketing in price…
Some more common problems are...
1x vacuum pump
2x oil filler cap leaking
3x coolant thermostat over cooling and you will never know unless you get live data whilst driving.
4x DCT pan leaks
5x Diff seal leak.
Bro stellar mfkin job I feel like I’m very prepared with the essential knowledge needed to properly invest in this car
