What you said is so true, I wish I could sell mine and try other things but nothing even close in price is as special as an E92, the engine, box and chassis combo is just perfect
Great video as always man, honestly. There aren't many car folk on YT no more keeping it real, being honest and just saying how it is. Appreciate you doing what you do ✌🏼
Loving the review videos 👌🏼
Mate after my focus RS got nicked last month I'm having this question bounce in and out of my head , thank you for this , it's put my mind at ease 🤣👌🏻👌🏻
Great video. Love the E92 M3. Love the Dalmatian as well. Really miss my Dal Skye who I lossed just before Xmas 2021.
Great video it was nice to see the monte carlo back on screen. I bought my e92 m3 at auction for dare I say it, 8k yes £8,000 with 120,000 miles the only problem was there was absolutely no history or logbook with, so it was a relief when I got it down to @evole automotive for rod bearings done and Ash told me everything on the car was fine, engine mounts to be fair were shot to shit, minor blow on exhaust from previous primary cat delete, drove back North Yorkshire smiling.
Another Amazing Vlogs ever 👌
Great cars. I've just bought an alpine white 2008 E92 manual with EDC and just 49K miles. Is stock apart from the exhaust which sounds epic. Plan on doing a few minor mods and keeping for a long time. Love the Dalmation btw and very much miss my Dal, Skye, who I lost just before Christmas 2021.
2010 328i E92 115,381 it's the driving experience that had me sold from the beginning. That M sport package, that hydraulic steering, all the goodies. Yes, Those classic BMWs are the one and the only ride I will drive.
*My 2013 Competition package is high maintenance but worth every penny!*
I had decided to sell my 46 and it needed an inspection 2 before it went. redish used to look after it. They gave me a list of what i would have to address in the coming years picking a couple of things to do at a time to keep it tip top. Needless to say id had my fun it was a solid mechanically sound car but the list was eye opening 😳😁
Mine is at 163k miles, has all the preventative maintenance done like rod bearings and such and i punish the car very often and its holding up quite well. Only thing thats had catastrophic failure was a 02 sensor lol and the diff/subframe bushings(completely my fault being lazy). Other than that its a great car and will see some boost in the very near future and continue to get punished 🤙🏾!
Prices actually bottomed out about 3-4 yrs ago, then increased over the next 3yrs or so, I think they have largely levelled off. Don't forget (ah I see you mention this at ~20 mins) that at least some of this price increase will be down to the 2nd car market being some what over-inflated atm due to the shortages of new cars (which is easing). Will they hold their value or drop after (presumably) the 2nd hand car market corrects itself? Who knows!?
Re rod bearings, you shouldn't have to do them every ~60k (or what mileage you chose) if you have bearings fitted which have increased clearance over OEM (something which Evolve have only very recently switched to!🙄).
A pretty comprehensive video 😎, though you haven't mentioned the VANOS covers, the original plastic covers are starting to distort and break up in some cars, and metal ones are available from the aftermarket now.
PS You and your dog can teleport! 🤣 Oh and LMAO re hat! My thin hair only gives me a little protection these days!
Now off to drive my manual e92 M3 .....😁
It looks known that M3 e92 ,and you confirm it,evolve one 🎉
In East Europe baisc insurance 1100£ ,road tax 25£,tax for engine for a 4.0 litre one is 2000£ for one year!Just to have all 4 wheels on pavement ( public road)!
Doing rod bearings every 50k is a joke bmw should have been sued for improper fitting of the crank shaft to its tight bearing clearances, my goodness 10w 60 is rediculous motor oil to run in the winter. The fact is that the four liter motor makes glorious noises and only makes 299 ft lbs of torque in a 3600 lbs car it's just a bunch of noise that's all. The 335is is half the price and makes 370 ft lbs of torque and comes with the DCT transmission and you don't have to change the rod bearings.
Sick man!
Easy answer yes if you can mantain it. It's not a car for everybody
If your questions are fuel economy
Repairs ,maintenance walk away
Just picked one up 120k km for 10k market still not bottom though i still see tons for sale for stupid numbers.
Great video. I just bought an e92 2013 m3 competition alpine white. 80k miles. The car is one of a kind. Full of soul. True analog feel.
Do the rod bearings yet?
@@yok3nny yes. Rod bearings done. Also motor mounts done.
@@divontayswing6900 what was the price area?
@yok3nny around 3k California Los Angeles area.
I been checking prices for a while now and they shot up a bit like everything did but recently dropped a bit, maybe because the f80 is also dropping and makes people decide between both
That’s my exact pickle right now. The e92 is great but my dream car is a f82. The prices on the e92’s is probably at one of the lowest points they’ll hit so it’s like do I jump on it or do I wait a little longer for the f82 prices to drop
@@Thatbluee9xI had a choice between a E92 M3 or a F82 M4 4 years ago, and I chose the M4 first due to reliability, speed and design. Not a time goes by where I think I should’ve chose a E92 M3. The pure driving experience of the V8 is amazing with a timeless design. Both cars have two totally different personalities. Test drive both and see which one fits your life style. Save money for repairs and if you’re able to do them on your own, you’ll save a ton of money. Good luck and let me know what you choose. F82s are getting cheaper and by the time everyone notices how much bang for buck you get in regards to power and nice design they will shoot up in value. E92 M3’s are holding in value now as well and it’s harder to find non neglected examples.
Why did you have to replace the whole subframe? Is this common?
Great video....higher mileage cars for me now and use what you've saved for maintenance etc 👍 Can't beat a good old bash down a b road 😂😂😂
Picked up one with 68k miles. First day I drove it home, rod bearing went bad and it is going to stay at the shop for about a month.
When buying these old high performance cars, you should always think you are going to change everything down the road so prepare the budget for it.
However, the vibe E92 M3 gives behind the wheel is something else. Totally worth spending all the $$$ to keep it fresh. I've owned F80 M3, F87 M2, C7.5 S6 Stage 2, B8.5 S5 Stage 1, and list goes on but none of them makes the driving experience as pleasant as E92 M3 so my point is buy it if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed!
Sorry if said but how does it feel compared to your one then?
I almost went for a mint example last year but saved a bit more and ended up getting a 2016 manual M2. Ever tried one?
Love it but the manual isn't as nice and mechanical feeling as the DC5 I had..
It currently feels better than mine, as I explained in my Nurburgring video mine fell apart but it should be back next week
About car prices - all cars have gone up, not just the m3. I've seen this said about so many cars lately, "they're only going one way", when this isn't really true.
Due to the chip shortage, new cars were in short supply. So more people looked for used cars. That pushed up used car prices across the board. That has eased somewhat, so the used car market may return to normal.
There's also the issue of the bank of england raising the interest rates, which is causing a squeeze on anyone that has a mortgage. Combine this with the cost of living crisis, and I'd imagine there will be a few people selling their toys.
In short, supply and demand should mean prices falling a bit, especially for thirsty low mpg cars.
Nope you’re wrong. Regular cars will dip, cars with m3 badges on especially the last of the n/a variety will only go up.
@@adamivell Can you let me know where you bought your crystal ball please? 🤣Muppet!
@@starlord2660 dreamer
@Starlord2660. The V8 C63/M3/RS4/ISF will all eventually go up in price. They are all V8's which are becoming a dying breed and they are all approaching 'classic' status with the age of them. In Australia the only new V8 vehicles you can purchase are the Mustang and the hideously expensive LC500. You all ready stated it - supply of these cars is decreasing, whilst the market they cater to do not care about fuel economy. All of the vehicles I previously mentioned command a premium, the chip shortage and covid only contributed to part of it. The majority of people that own these cars will ride the wave of interest rates and the current economy and not in a position where they have to sell their toy as they don't owe money on it and they have a car for daily driving duties. You don't sound like a true car enthusiast who knows the current market from what you have stated.
@@gavinr9107 I'm not sure why you would try to tell me how much I like cars? Are you a bit thick?
I'm talking about the short term, and the economic factors that are contributing to car prices at the moment, whereas you are stating the obvious, that they will eventually go up. Try to understand my point before arguing against it, and check on motors, there are loads of these currently reduced, which proves my point.
And no, not ALL of these will go up in value. Well looked after versions with a good spec will skyrocket, whereas badly maintained rusty ones will eventually end up on the scrap heap. Sounds like you are the one who is not the true car enthusiast.
You should buy one if you plan on junking it once something breaks.
Or don’t buy something you can’t afford to maintain in the first place
What’s the fuel costs like? How often do you fill up being a daily driven car? My previous car which was a stage 2 M140i was filled up every week so just trying to gather an idea on how much it’ll cost, price isn’t an issue just want an idea before anyone questions
In my m3 i get about 250-300 miles a tank, but i dont daily it mate so i cant give great figures
Great video mate. I very nearly bought one but the road tax is ridiculous imo. Ended up buying an M4..
Discounting a car like this because of the road tax isn't the best reason. You missed out, the S65 is a peach. Yes the S55 is more torquey, more tuneable, but it's not as good as experience, imo.
@@TheM5Dog wasn’t the only reason but was a big factor, nigh on £700 a year to tax is robbery!
@@nurburgringobsessed5722 it's certainly not cheap, but it's few pints of beer extra a month (if you live in the South!). I've been paying the top band for the last 5 years.
If you don't mind my asking, what put you off it?
@@nurburgringobsessed5722in Belgium its €3500 to tax one of these, so be grateful 😂
@@TheM5Dog sadly I don’t earn enough to run it, fuel, tax, maintenance etc. interiors are abit dated to me iswell..
However I do get the V8 itch every now and again so never say never 😂
I bought 120k miles 2011 BMW M3 E90 at $24k USD. Fantastic car. I had to get the rod bearings done, coolant flush, steering fluid flush, belts were replaced, and replace front bumper with euro spec. I also DIY'd valve cover gaskets, fuel injectors, transmission fluid+filters, front+rear wheel sensors, oxygen sensors, and aluminum vanos covers. Sadly, I'm leaning towards selling my BMW M3 with 122k miles to go back to school. :( What are your thoughts?
You bought a car before finishing school? Like grad school?!
@@megaprimegamer1184 Oh I finished undergraduated and worked. I want to go back to school to pursue graduate education.
Is it manual or dct? I've got an E92 M3 MT but would love to add an E90 dct to the stable if you do end up selling it!
@@micraw714 weird my comments are not going through. I'm down to sell my E90 DCT.
@@kid2519 cool! I'm in NM, are you by chance anywhere nearby?
was looking last night man .., but i come to the conclusion even only for 12 quid better off just finding a s3 saloon n remapping the hell out of it unless your after the v8 convertible then it makes sense if not then na
theres no comparison between an S3 and and M3 dude, S3 just a fast car, m3 has soul
Jeeez man get to the Point
ok - its good
feels less muscle and more sports car . with hardly torque
M3 mirrors 😂
Mazda made those mirrors first
alright man whatever, M3 Style mirrors since the 90s that every single person i know in the tuning community calls them but youre probably right and im probably wrong.
@@adamivellrx-7 fc had them first
Keep em videos coming
Beem following your youtube like 4ever haha 👌👌
No there is many cars I want to get and I will not get it high mileage the answer a big no home boy have a good day 2023
