- The redesigned BMW M3 is finally hitting the streets and the Competition model takes to the next level. Under the hood is a 3.0L turbocharged straight-6 that produces 503HP & mated to an 8-speed only automatic transmission. On the outside you will discover the hot talking point of the super sized grills, 19/20in wheels. carbon fiber roof, and extra aero. On the inside there is a great layout with comfortable yet supportive seats, and one of the best steering wheels in the business. Is the 2021 BMW M3 Competition the BEST new sport sedan to BUY?

I hated the grill at first, now I love it. It really GROWS on you !
Yup, same here!
Literally bro
I’ve always loved it
I saw a white one yesterday and the grill looks better in person.
PEACE!! Yes,agree to a degree,but overALL I will put he’s this machine!!
Man, this channel lets you fall in love again every day.
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate your support!
Dont forget the weight; 3840 lbs , it means almost 400 lbs heavier than previous 2020 m3 ( 3500 lbs )
ON THROTTLE two words that are so iconic
You know it!
@@RaitisRides how is the driving exp compared to the RS5?
@@pierre598 it feels way more balanced!
BMW: "Do not exceed 5,000 rpm until 1200-mile run-in is completed". Joe: "I can't hear you, I"m ON THROTTLE baby!!!"
@@RaitisRides awesome thanks for the videos and Lori also. Can’t wait for my M3 manual to arrive!!!
I like how Joe stood in front of the front bumper during the intro.
LOL
It was a public service 😎
@@RaitisRides Does it come in a manual?
i think he is trying to block all the time
As much as I dislike the grill, the performance of the new M3/4s are nothing to talk down about. Phenomenal job by the engineers. The grille can go or stay, as long as BMW keeps delivering good performance vehicles at a good "value".
AGREED
In my 2004 Maxima, every time I hit a clear stretch of road, I yell "On Throttle!" LOL
Heck yeah man!
Same here in my ram 1500 hemi.
"Kidneys?"
*absent....*
"Lungs?"
" HERE!!!"
PERFECT!
Nothing beats Joe's on🔥 Throttles 🔥 but remember he is a professional race car driver and one of the BEST 🥇
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate you having my back!
And a former teacher….joe you’re a good dude
Raidi's Ride is growing on me like the M3 Grille !!!!!!
Sounds good to me!
I was just thinking about this car and sure enough raitis ride drops this vid. One and only mind reading youtuber out there!
I love bringing it to you!
The grill is my Zonk, but what I'm not Zonking is the Yellow! My favorite color of all time and I love it when it's dressed up on a BMW.
I’m finna jus be saying on throttle this whole summer 😭😂
I like that way that you think.
Great review as always!!! I just picked up one up yesterday , this car is an absolute beast, so much power everywhere , MotorTrend just got a 3.5 from 0-60 and 11.6 at 125 mph in the quarter mile that is freaking fast , btw big surprise, mine has ventilated seats too!!!! shout out to BMW of Sarasota and my sales guy Bobby for helping me get this beauty , also I have it in black so the grill just blends in, so nothing weird there , keep it up with the great vids !!
Congrats!! Thinking about selling my Shelby GT 350 and getting one.
I will say that your one of very few car review guys who actually respond to viewers comments. I believe everyone should appreciate the work and time you put in. Keep up the great work!!!!👏
said it on another bmw review, and joe said it again, the hood design complements the grills and give character to the grill.
Can’t wait for the aftermarket front bumpers lol
Prior design is already on it... looks 🔥🔥🔥
Should be interesting!
That grille has grown on me, I think this might be my new dream sedan! Thanks for sharing Joe! 🇨🇦
It's about time to not even mention the grill..... this vehicle ROCKS!! I'm gonna find a stick shift.
Good call!
The smile on his face sais it all. Beauty of a car!
This is very true!
HIDEOUS FROM EVERY ANGLE !!! Helga's getting heavy and now she needs to see the Dentist !!!
FORZA ALFA BABY !!!!
THE KING IS BACK !!!!
Personally I love this grill on the new m3 and m4 especially in black. This color is beautiful.
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
16:21 ON THROTTLE!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! It sounds awesome
Heck yeah!
Looks good as long as you don’t screw a license plate up front. Use tow hook mount. Alpha figured it out in their vehicle... don’t see them screwing a plate dead center
I totally agree with you!
It looks very good in person
Agreed!
The turbo straight 6 is the redemption, IMO.
Im very skeptic to the grill until i saw it in person. Man that grill is beautiful imo
I agree with you!
I stopped by Reeves the other day to look at this exact car and the M4, absolutely stunning in person!
You are so very right!
In black with the orange interior is the best spec for me. Can't go wrong with an M3. Great vid👍
Joe!!! M3 was waiting for this one!!! Amazing Thanks Joe and Lori
You are so right Antonio!
Easy way to fix the front grille:
Drive head on into a pole 💥🙂
Love the straight 6. I was wondering what that glare on your face was from, that lid would never be closed lol. If one goes WAAY back into BMW's history, this grill is an homage, is it not?
Thank you again, Lori, for another splendid video!
yes it is Adam! You know your history!
I love the color and the big grille too. Great Review Joe 👍Stay Healthy and Stay Safe :)
I am so glad that you are digging this one. You do the same!
Don’t mind the grill at all! Even with the yum yum yellow car colour :)
Wow 500 plus horsepower out of a V6 twin turbo :)
I love the 4 door over the 2 door as well!
I am so glad that you like this one.
Keep in mind this is not a V6. It's an inline 6 engine :)
@@m3awd598
Right! :)
Just waiting on your review my man.. with twinkies and all that! sheers!
You are so awesome! Thanks for the support!
12:58 "I'm as snug as a bug in a BMW M3 Rug!" LOL. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Tristan! I am so glad that you caught that one.
@@RaitisRides hi
HATE the grille, BUT I do plan on getting one with the X-Drive in a darker color to quasi hide the front end. The performance of this M3 Comp is amazing.
Can't argue the performance!
Just bought a blacked out 3 series, and saw this in the showroom, looks awesome. Love the styling 👍
Looks like joe doesn’t skip legs day
No way!
I always come for the ON THROTTLE action 😛😎
I am so glad that I could bring it to you!
At last the M3!!! The X drive version next please!!
You got it!
Performance-👍🏻
Handling - 👍🏻
Interior- 1/2 👍🏻 no ventilated seats
Grill - 👎🏻
Color- 👎🏻
Price - 👎🏻
I guess that sums it up for me.
Thanks Joe! Nice review. Nice job Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
U forgot the depreciation main thing, in 2 years will be worth less than half lol
@@cordinate81 probably not in this market
@@cordinate81 nah these are $90k cars. Will prob be worth about $60k
I totally agree that the sedan looks better than the coupe. I just wish they kept the front end of the 340i and then this car would be close to perfect.
This grill has grown on me, and now... I really want an M3 Competition.
I feel like everyone is copying off of Lexus with the giant grilles. But others can’t pull it off like Lexus does.
I’m thinking this BMW grill MIGHT look better if the divider was black to blend with the grille.
I must say, the overall body and color of this car is amazing.
Thanks for letting me sharing it with you! Very good points!
I can always tell if the car is fast. Joe starts smiling and then laughing. Makes me laugh too. Really cool to see.
This car is so nice. I think BMW went with a bold/ugly grill to cause a stir. It's working. The RS5 is beautiful but the safer pick.
The base seats are nice but I could not buy this car without the upgraded buckets. Nicest looking seats under 100k.
Facts
Love the design very sportly great exhaust nice interior
Same here!
@@RaitisRides yeah I know but still love it even more 😂😂😂
11:40 when u said "leave that in the comment section if that happens" xD
Spot on!
Love this colour it looks amazing!
I know how you feel!
I also like the grill!! it makes it even more aggressive and with a numberplate actually even better
I am so glad that you like this one.
Wow!!!. Almost 500k subscribers. Keep it up!!
Saw the M3 base/Competition and the M4 base/Competition in person and it looks awesome 👌👏😎
I currently have the 2020 330i MSport package in a nice Pepsi blue... and I love the car.
been wanting to upgrade to this m3 competition but the grill at first didn’t grab my attention but then grew on me.. only thing I don’t like is that the interior dash is the same as mine n so I feel it’s outdated. I’ll wait until the next m3 with new interior comes out.
Overall love your reviews brother keep it up! 💪🏽
They pissed me off with the grill, I’m now starting to like it 👍🏼
A 3.0L 6 Cylinder great engine
Heck yeah!
Diggin the car, especially the color! Easy gear selector except for the weird placement of the park button. No ventilated seats? 80k? My 2013 Kia has that.... what in the world!
Be Safe ON THROTTLE! Raiti!
Now priced at 65k in some places. I’ll wait . But this car is a must have but not for 80 or even 65k . lol 50 k yes but tbh 45k
Very cool redesign 👍🏻
I am so glad that you like this one
Absolutely love this car!
I am so glad that you like this one.
Needs a direct comparo video against the AMG C63 S that was so loved in the earlier review!
This car is dope, I love the kidney front end. This car is basically built to attract the new generation and I’m already falling for it!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
The grill makes this car unique and very sporty looking. AWESOME CAR.
Nice video!! I do agree with you the lack of ventilated seats !!! You do the best reviews !!! Love them all !!!
I love my 2022 G82 xDrive. Competition. 8,300 miles, now. And just for reference, you can get cooled seats, at this price. The cooled seat button is a dual heated and cooled in the same button. I have it in my car, it's a lazy $300 option, just order it. Silly they don't just come automatically.
That front end is awesome. Best front end by far. Love the bold statement , backed by bold performance
Joe make a, "on throttle" shirt with a silhouette of a dude getting pulled back. I'll take a xl in black and one in white!
Sounds like plan!
Oh damn I was about to call at mellow yellow but you beat me to it LOL!
Great minds think a like!
In the past I've described your upshifts as 'grandmotherly slow' but they are much improved! Wait, this is an automatic...never mind...
Wow BMW went back to their hay day original Grill, more air more cooling more power better stopping. Love it sets it apart.
Lori did a FANTASTIC job on the camera work catching all the intricate details!!!
The whole CAR industry wants to be BMW M3 M5 & XM6. BMW has been copied so much by others, their interiors, their technology, their performance, their driving machine experience. BMW IS THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE...
Beautiful spec. When the awd option comes out I think this will be my next car
Sounds like a plan!
looks awsome thats m3👍
I am so glad that you like this one.
Joe did you notice a substantial difference between this and the 2021 m5? Love this channel. Thanks
I love BMW’s so much lol.
Joe, it’s about time you give us insights on xDrive M3 2022. Thanks in advance 😊
It looks nice to be honest 💯👌
It's growing on me!
Looks nice... to pee on
@@RaitisRides it'll grow on you... like athlete's foot
I never thought it looks as bad as people say. So many people these days are so quick to judge and do so with much more emphasis than we used to. Seems it’s part of society these days: hyper judgment. We can’t just sit back and say “ew” and let that be that. SMH
@@connermt74 “Ew”
That grill is actually a lot easier on the eyes with the license plate bracket.
Enjoy your videos a lot man, which raises the question, what do you drive? Just curious
Hey Gene! I have a Shelby GT350R, Camaro ZL1 1LE & Subaru WRX STI
Man I've been looking forward to this M3 review! Absolutely enjoyed it Joe keep up the great work!
By the way ventilated seats are a $300 option when you have the standard seats like the ones on this car.
If the grill was chrome instead of black it'd be PERFECT!
zonk on the grill, can't look away so bad.
What's your opinion on leasing vs owning this beast? You are exploding man, congrats!
As long as I have a warranty I am fine with both! Thanks for the awesome support!
Okay I went with the 21 Audi S5 Sportback just recently all because of your review but now Im liking the new BMW M3 just as much and I think after all my previous bmws I really enjoy the change to Audi and just trying something different out but Im loving it and you are my go to review guy on all sports cars I am interested in!! Keep it up and awesome job on BMW also
Always loved that grill. Its intimidating!!! BMW rules!!!
Nice video mate 🇺🇸
Thanks Tim! I appreciate that!
Looks unique
You got that right!
I was hoping you'd get one of these tested soon! Great vid! Can't wait to see what BMW does with the M version of the electric i4, since the "base" model unwrapped today has 530hp and 0-60 in ~4 seconds (with a ~300 mile range).
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
2021 Kicks? Please.
I am still waiting on one showing up! Stay tuned!
Absolutely gorgeous front to back top to bottom. I don't mind the grill. On throttle looked like a blast, we love that.
awesome vid, been watching for a while now and dont even know why im not subbed yet. SUBBED
Thanks for being so supportive and officially joining the Raiti's Rides family!
They'll be cool if the grill opens up and you can put a cup holder inside there if you want to warm your tea up☕
am i really the only one who absolutely loves the grille
Ever wondered why blue color suits so much on BMWs?
That is a very good question.
On M models and regular ones yea also beige
@@RaitisRides : Because it’s ‘Be-I’m-Dub-BLUE’
They have done something so special with this, it'll sure make me forgive it for inhaling all the oxygen on the road, even though having licence plates on the nose is going to make it look like it's suffocating.... Very nice review. You made me love it! Thank you Joe and Lori.
everybody like the alfa scudetto...
bmw now have a double scudetto...
i like the bmw double scudetto!
...and joe's reviews!
Thanks man!
Your channel is underrated. I’ll take this over 20 minutes of over annunciated quirks and features all day.
Yes. Doug Demuro is a bit much sometimes.
I'm disappointed that the car did not come standard with the nice colored seats that they unveiled... btw, I like the new grill on this car... nice performance...nice video JOE and Lori.
I know how you feel! I guess you can option it though. Thanks for your great support!
9:08 WOW IT SOUNDS GREAT
So very true!
The grill also has grown on me. It looks more aggressive. If in your mind you compare them side by side. Kidney/Lungs? Lungs 🫁 more aggressive 😃
Wow I can’t decide between the São Paulo yellow or the Brooklyn grey
Tough choices!
That should not be a hard decision
@@hdavey72 why’s that
