BMW E36 M3 3.0 vs. 3.2 

I've just been recommended a 14 year old video and I think it's great!

There are both pros and cons to the 3.0L and the 3.2L.My pick would be the 3.2 mainly because I own one! Future classics for sure...

If it is only for drifting it doesn't matter which one you choose. The 3.2 has a slight shorter rear axle (3,23) than the 3.0 (3,15).

3.2ltr does make a difference to the 3.0ltr . 3.2ltr rules !!! lol

that was a good explanation! :))

YEAH WE GOT A 325i sedan love it to death

Man I would love to have one :)

@DeTAK then what about muscle cars? Dont they double M3 emissions?

Interesting. Is 3.2 a US version?

3•2 ♡

oh how cheap they must have been 12 years ago. I mean it’s a fantastic car, but now it’s a collectible, not a driver’s car

@motoxfreerider80bren it's not only the .2L, they are different engines.

i got e36 3.0 in us but its made in Germane just awesome i love it

yes!

those are both stock?

@DEADmetal3 More than 7.000 were build, but I don't know how many of them have Euro spec and how many have US spec. When I traveled to the US I saw many M3 sedans, in Germany it's more rare than a Ferrari.

@M3POWERVIDEOS btw why US spec M3's are not as powerful as EURO spec M3's?

The sedan sound is standard exhaust. The coupe had a sport exhaust, but I forgot the brand.

@DEADmetal3 No, my M3 3.2 is a EURO spec. with 321 HP.

lightweighted ???

S50B32👍

thei'r both spectacular but those b32 man :))

3.2 competes with s54 till the end of the 4th gear so definitely it got a big edge over s50b30

Nice video!

@M3POWERVIDEOS I can see that :) but i didn't knew that there are EURO spec sedans. Must be very rare?

couldn't agree more... the 3.0 e36 m3 is the better/quicker car... my old 3.0 made 308 bhp on a rolling road day when the majority of 3.2s present were making 290-300..

Correct - both are Euro specifications

@DeTAK Indeed, they miss a lot of ///M Power ;-)

wtf the sedan is faster? and the motor is 3.0and 3.2?

I always thought the 3.0 was better than the 3.2 bc the OBD1 engine was better

@M3POWERVIDEOS I believe the saloon is ever so slightly heavier than the coupe.

Both of them are EU Spec's aren't They ?

3.2 rules

@DEADmetal3 Because the US has strict rules with emissions and shit i think..

That 3.0 needs a tune-up, cause irl it's not that big a difference as in this vid.

The reason is that the sedan is more lightweighted than the coupe.

did not know it was down to weight, surely coupe is lighter, even said should it not be down to about a hundrenth of a sec?? CSL is only 0.5 sec quicker than the norm, hardly worth the extra 15k or so?

I'd take the 3.0. Marginally slower, but much more fun to drive, cheaper to buy, repair and run.

Pretty good the 3.0,l compare to the 3,2l.. The 3,0l got only one vanos instead then two of the 3,2l.and 35 HP less and is just behind by max 2 cars.

3.0 have better sound than 3.2 !

Stock 3.2? So much difference between 3 og 3.2?

that coupe is beautifeul that sedan is fasther 3.2 and de coupe is 3.0 as coupe 3.2 was was coupe fasther 3.2 than sedan 3.2 :D

Are these the US engines?

3.0 has a proper racing engine from a McLaren F1 engine

the sedan is a 3.2

funny how much differnce .2 litters does

I had a m3 not Evo 1 and I would say the m3 Evo has just the edge only JUST. But if u have a healthy 3 liter and have it with a Evo m3 your proberly win because the vanos is proberly fucked on the m3 Evo

Just to let you all know. The 3.2 litre was for the US market and only made 240hp due to US emission regulations. My 330d does that with a bit more torque, 195Nm more torques.

the limo has less weight and more power. If they were both limos or coupes, the difference wouldnt be taht much.

My 3.2 already did 293km/h on GPS. Check my videos!

Those cars are now worth €20.000

sedan was quicker in stock.

These are both euro spec //M's... So it 286hp vs 321hp thats why the sedan beats the coupe... These arent us spec

BoostedWolfie.. What shit are you talking.. The 2 cars racing are euro speck? The 3.0L is roughly 286hp and the 3.2 is 321.. The us engine was the biggest load of balls ever, it was a different block, didn't have individual throttle bodies and you couldn't out then in because of the oil filter housing and there was a lower compression ratio.. The Americans can't make a good economical engine with power. And they shouldn't even try.. Up the German engineering..!

@M3POWERVIDEOS haha even with ONLY 243 hp in the us s52, the euro s50b32 is only .2 seconds quicker...i bet if the us spec engine had 321 hp it would rape the euro spec.

Pfff la pauvre m3 de jacky elle vaux plus rien 😂

S50B32

321ps vs 286 is normal
