    BMW FANS LET’S GOOOOOO!!
    We’ve got our hands on every generation of BMW M3, and they’re about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile to find out just how far the M3 has evolved over the generations.
    So for this line-up, we have:
    - E30 M3
    - E36 M3
    - E46 M3
    - E92 M5
    - F80 M3
    - G80 M3
    It literally doesn’t get better than this!
    The question is, how different will the performance be across these cars? After all, we can already see in the stats just how different they are. The E30 M3 rolls up with a 2.3-litre 4 cylinder that can produce 200hp and 240Nm, whilst the G80 is packing a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can produce 510hp and 650Nm!
    So surely it’ll be a clean sweep for the G80, right? Or could an older edition spring a surprise? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

    Had a 1986 E30 BMW 323i automatic in henna red. It lasted 24 years with 840000km original engine and gearbox no overhaul. Truly the best car I've ever owned. Never bought another BMW after it. I don't know what the new cars are like, I can only imagine how good they must be now, but the E30 will always remain in my heart. I regret having sold mine on. I now drive a Honda Civic that I respect, but don't really care for, like I did with my E30. Thank You BMW for all the memories ❤❤❤❤ Respect!

      The true BMW's died with the E60/E90. The last true BMW's are the E39 and the E46 (E38 also). Now, the 3 series are the same size on the outside as the E39 5 series and smaller on the inside. I owned a 2001 E39 for 15 years, now I own a 2018 430i. No comparison on the comfort and the driving feel (the E39 was 10 classes above)

    The E92 was a special, special car in its day. I’ve never owned one (I’ve owned a standard 1999 E39 BMW 520i) but I’ve been in one as a passenger and it’s speed stunned me. This was back in 2008 when it was new. The E92 will always be my favourite- in my opinion it’s certainly the best sounding M3 in fact the best sounding car I’ve ever heard in my life. What a car!!!.

      I don't think the e92 in this race was driven right. The launch control was bad on these and they need to be driven in simply manual M mode with DCT. 12.6 is easily possible
      Also the character, sound and everything is so goooood. 6yrs of ownership and I smile everyday I drive my @com3t_m3

The G80 is fast, it's a thrilling drive, but the E30 is just so much more than just the speed. If you can't drive without electronic aids, then you can't drive an E30. The new cars do half the driving for you, these days.
      Sure, they're quick, but if they didn't have all of those electronics keeping you on the road, they'd be almost impossible to drive properly.
      Having driven both variants, I'd still pick the E30.

      Naturally aspirated engines, you need to rev the hell out of the e92 v8 to get peak power, sometimes folks start from too low revs when downshifting while it should be starting ideal from 5k band

    Had the E36 Evo back in the day, and didn’t feel as connected when I swapped to an E46. The differential in the E36 made steering with the rear dead easy, and the power was beautifully linear. E46 had no real finesse in the handling, and all the torque was downstairs so chasing revs was pointless. An Estoril Blue E36 Evo still makes me smile. A real classic IMO.

    My first M3 was the E46 which I got when I was 23yrs old and I absolutely loved it but I did trade it in for the F92 model and after that I started to get M5’s because my dad got the E60 which was the last naturally aspirated M5 with a W10 engine. My first M5 was the F10 and I got the competition pack (they didn’t have a Competition version of the M5 just an additional option called the competition pack) and I now have the current F90 M5 Competition which has the AWD XDrive. I’ve also a Mercedes C63 AMG S which I’ve had modified since I couldn’t get my hands on a Black Series version. When I first saw the front of the G80 M3 I loved how much more aggressive the front bumper looks over the F80 but wasn’t keen on the front grills as it doesn’t look like the traditional BMW kidney grill but I’ve really grown to love it and might even get the M4 G82

    Would be interesting to see the prices adjusted for inflation, to see just how much more expensive the newer ones are (or aren't). Also the E36 (in Europe) and E46 were available with SMG, while the E92 was also available with a DCT. Seems kind of unfair to compare the clutch-pedal versions in a race including newer cars--one with DCT and the other with auto. I'm sure they'd still be behind but would make it more "even" in terms of equipment.
