A Definitive Review Guide to Every BMW M3 Ever Made
In-line four. Straight sixes. V8. Turbo.
Automotive journal Car Throttle presents a review video for everyone’s favorite Bavarian muscle car: the BMW M3. Starting from the iconic E30 M3 with its in-line four cylinder 2.3 liter engine found in the boxy wide-body 3 Series-based sports car, the host examines the pros and cons, driving feel and ownership qualms in finite detail. The video continues with the much-more-powerful E36 in sedan form, the higher-revving-higher-output straight six E46 younger brother, the E92 successor with its 400+ horsepower V8, and finally the modern day F80 M3 — the first M3 with a “fuel-efficient” straight six equipped with twin turbochargers. Watch the video above and be sure to check out the M3’s slightly more compact but equally outrageous M2 sibling.
