Can A 30-Year Old E30 M3 Keep Up With A New G80 M3? 

😀😁😂😅🤣

true

Is it just me, or it looks like Voldemort?

And uglier than anything that has been on this planet.

@@suorsah Nah it actually looks pretty decent with the M3/M4 grills.

Same here the car is literally perfection

I don’t have a favorite gen M3, I just love the M3

@@kristoff0224 looks better than E30, still has decent performance and tunability, heck even the GTR version with a V8

Especially the CSL, which actually keeps the weight sensible. The new car is insanely heavy. Everyone criticises electric cars for being so heavy due to the batteries, but the G80 is the same weight as a long range RWD Tesla Model 3. How the hell did BMW manage that?

is it couse you own one

Wdym quick, it took him like 5 years :)))

@@V1Ct0rline that's quick for Ethan

I love him. Met him at the Ring 2 years ago or 3, he was so nice.

Plot twist-he was always a car guy and he was acting like he wasn't!

@@Kavones that was my thought as well when he was introduced on this channel back in the day. I thought he probably didn’t get that Suzuki unironically.

It was making more horsepower than V8s at the time, that’s insane!

@CT is infant grade content now what are you talking about??

238hp in the Sport evo with 2.5liter. In germany no one leave the s14 in Stock. Average HP of the most M3s is around 250HP. In DTM spec they get around 360hp out of it. My M3 has allready 180k km on the clock.

@CT is infant grade content now What a stupid comment.

@@bbc_junior4863 Maybe an American V8. European ones were already making a lot more than that :P

maybe we'll remember it as the last manual m3....who knows?

I don't think so. The G80 will surely be remembered, just like the F80 and E36. Just not as fondly as the E30. Hell, maybe in 40 years they will start gaining value for some stupid reason (just like what is currently happening to 996s and E36s lol)

Name a single M3 no one remembers… It’s not like these types of cars are just forgotten.

Oh no no no no, people will remember the G80 M3 in the future; they'll remember it for being god awfully ugly.

@@doabarrellroll69 and an absolute beast. tbh, with a prior design front end the car looks pretty decent, and a stage 1 Manhart M3C is already quicker than an Aventador S from 100-200. Say what you will about the styling, there's a ton of potential in this car.

AfterEffects 3D tracking! Very clever software isn’t it, and also skilful use of it by whoever edited. (Ethan or Jack?)

I’ve noticed that as well. Really high level of video editing and filming. Also at the end of the video where the M3 E46 showed up in between then was amazingly done.

Finally someone who doesn’t hate on the G80

Are you serious simple bumper (if the big grill is problem to you) change is way easier than doing full suspension, semi slicks, lightweight rims, swaybars, titanium control arms polyurethane bushings maybe aero kit and g80 will be still faster.

@@dkdanis1340All those things would be a joy to do to that lovely e30 car. I never said it was the EASIER option! I never said it was the big grill and if you think that would fix the looks your are mistaken. G80 is never gonna join the ranks of BMW design classics. It's only a fast car, for me that isn't enough.

Go look at the prior design kit then. It downsizes the front kidney more to what you see on the m340i. Looks rather decent imo.

@@BB-zv8tx It does help I give you that!

@@dkdanis1340 There's so much more than just the grill that makes it ugly. The whole design is just hideous. I reserved judgement until I saw one in person because I thought it might be one of those cars that look bad in pictures but nice in person but it's the opposite. It's 10x worse in person. Big, ugly, cumbersome mess.

Honestly editing was kinda shit on this one, they fucked up the drone shot and the size comparison was just awful. I assume they pay an editor, the composition and cuts itself are good, it's just like he had a bad hungover when editing this one.

@@lazar2175 you're right. The lighting wasn't balanced properly from the shots inside the car (the outside was completely blown out or Alex's face was too dark), you could see the mic peeping in and out of shots, the inside shots weren't framed as well as they could have been to avoid seeing the rear camera, and the mic set up and audio was just really quite poor. Overall, just not up to the standard they've been setting with past videos. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say that it might be a new crew or something.

Uk pulis

Just then drive fast car fast.

@@dkdanis1340 Obviously you've never driven a fast car fast. You either spend more time braking, or you have to dial the speed back - making all that excess power a waste. Quite frankly; the most fun roads simply don't have the space to accommodate the high power cars. The lower powered lightweights wind up being more satisfying because you can use all the performance.

@@Eatinbritches that's the one of those excuses "i drive slow cars cause im scared to drive fast cars and with slow car i can blame car not my skills".

These guys just wanna say the like to see fast cars going fast from the bus seat they are placed in...

@@dkdanis1340 James Hunt said the most fun he had was driving an old A35 van. Senna said the purest motorsport he drove in was in karts. They knew what they were talking about. When you can drive something flat out all the time is a lot more fun than driving something well within its limits.

I think it's the bmw.

No

The pig snout grill meme is comming to live and i hate it

@@mdfarukftw both are equally pretty to me, call me crazy but that is my opinion.

@@carguyns4348 i respect your opinion since it’s all just personal preference in the end of the day. and everyone has their own view on things and that’s why we have different cars for different people. i personally think E30 is way better looking but that’s my personal opinion

In your opinion. To me the G80 looks a lot better.

E30 for me as well, besides it was actually built for a purpose, to go racing and win the German Touring Car championship, which it did. Every M3 since has been for people to sit in and play racer.

how long the g80 been on the market? why I haven't seen any enhanchement fix for that beautifull grill

I saw one today while walking down the street and screamed “EW” only to then realised it’s windows where open. I don’t regret it.

@@bencns haha epic. Did the owner get a bit angry? 😂

@@LogiForce86 I’ve seen it in real life to lol like just a tiny bit better but enough to change my mind

I daily a e34, this bimmer generation is great

@Martin there is always a nostalgia factor but something thats ugly won`t pretty because of nostalgia.

Yes, there are numerous decades where cars looked the best in general like all the way from the early 30s to the late 80s/early 90s that was the end of that period.

@Martin No way. The E65 is still as ugly and offensive to look at as it was 20 years ago.

The G80 fits this era of blandness or even ugliness much like the music of today whereas the E30 looks 80s 😎. My son thinks the same and he is 14 so it is not age.

Agreed. The front grill on the new car is really NOT pretty

Call me blind but i love the front of it. But back lights not a big fan (looks a like a Lexus from the back)

@@ccips1135 you asked for it, you’re blind.

@@sparky4878 It is a divisive design choice, but I can see how someone could like it. The front end in general looks good. The lines are good and it looks aggressive. It is just that the grill interrupts things a bit, but they continue the lines of the grill onto the hood, and mimic the angled lines of the lower parts of the grill into the lower intakes, and the main horizontal line at the front perfectly lines up with one of the lines in the grills and goes all the way across. I don't think the grills look particularly bad. I think the real issue is the way the lower intakes on either side of the grill end. They angle inward and I really don't think that was the right call. Gives it a not quite as aggressive look. A hard edge angled outward might have worked better. Sure it would have made it look like it was smiling, but with how aggressive the lights and the rest of the design was, it would come off as more of a devilish smile. Probably would have made it less divisive. That's just my two cents, and I don't have photoshop to figure out a way to visualize it so it could look worse. The minds eye is not the same as real life soo... don't sue me. :P

@@lisabeck3963 Not only grill. This whole BMW looks like prefired Alfa Romeo Giulia with VW plastics and fake leathers...

I still have a 2000 330 coupe on coilovers, and I'm not getting rid of it, blast to drive.

Having owned an e46 M3 no. It was a letdown. Feels gutless, needed mods to handle properly and it was a very unreliable moneypit of a car. Never again.

@@tracktimevideos5164 sounds like 330 is the answer lol

@@VladoooThe yes if you want something even slower but with many of the same issues. Crap cars.

@@tracktimevideos5164 lol crap cars. Sounds like you just don't maintain your cars. I've had 4 old bmws, all with 300k on them (currently drive an e39) and no major issues.

Keep in mind that this M3 also has more power too.

@@HeroManNick132 yeah. 18 more. That should absolutely not overcome 20 years of chassis science.

Better tires maybe, not tested one after another. Maybe gt86 didn't get the best lap at that moment.

@@_shreyash_anand agreed and in developing the E30 more effort was put in to the chassis and the track cars were already kicking 350 BHP and a 9000 rev limit that's a real E30 M3 the ones sold to the public were purely for entry requirements in the championships

The Toyota is probably much heavier than the E30

are you drunk?

@@kombajn2 no, why?

Not the first time :-(

I was surprised it was faster than the Toyota. Made my day.

Yeah with short straights like this there isn't much scope for the G80 to take advantage of the power differential.

The E36 M3 is not that far from the G80 M3 lap-time-wise, so the E46 M3 should squeeze itself between the 2. Can it go in the 35s?

@@thebrelon Probably not, I think you'd have to look to the next V8 powered generation for that.

Hmmm... No. Technology came a long way. It even loses to the E92 GTS (Hockenheim paints a more accurate picture than the Nordschleife).

Ha. I went up to the local BMW dealership once to get a part I ordered and had a nose around the new models. Some younger, mid-20's salesman was walking me through the M2 (the first year models of them). Out of curiosity, from the hype of them being the "new E46", I took it out for a drive and I told him it's just soulless. It was a "nice" car, but it just didn't appeal to me as someone who likes that mechanical rawness. I flipped it back on him asking if he'd ever drove a nice E46 M3. Apparently he'd only moved a few non-M's around the parking area. Gave him the keys to mine for 20 minutes whilst I went to drool over all the fancy Porsches and Astons. When he returned he was like "yeah, I like that a lot".

You have such good taste

It looks good but its not handmade like the e30 and its Bad balanced. The e36m3 Was planned as 4cylinder. Also the interior has Bad quality. I love the s50

@@andrezesna3920 bad balanced but still every Nurburgring dash cam has at least 1 e36 even not m3 and just 326

@@FieryWings01 little car with a big donk. the heavens align.

yes, all the E30 is lacking is the correct engine. It was designed as a light and nimble car not max horsepower. Mine has an s38 in it, much fun :D

Yeah but that's the whole point of these sorts of comparisons....

@CT is infant grade content now I'm not on about quarter miles times or top speeds you plonker. I'm on about technology, (re-read my post) that is in cars now that was not invented 30 years ago. Also look how far cars have come with crash technology to!

No much since the 90s in japan.. you are comparing an NA car with a Turbo. Turbo Sports Cars from the 90s can kick new cars

@@Andre-xf7tp new cars are fat and ugly compared with 90s cars!!

@@paulrobinson3528 I agree but i was saying 90s sports cars have some nice tech too, not too diferent from today in some cars

Get over it🤣

Have you ever seen it in real life though? I did not like it at first, but when i saw it in person, it looked much much better.

@@kozzovitch I saw it in person a couple of days ago and all I have to say is the huge nostrils don't look nice at all

Two Rogers don't make a right!

U will say that in 30 years for G30… every M car i car with character

and considering it's bmw even the old parts will be costly XD so yeah, also the newer bmw looks horrible, it's the grill mostly, looks like squirrel teeth.

@@DaxterL some parts are reasonable...pads are fine, filters are fine, tyres hurt and anything flappy paddle is time for a mortgage.

You could buy two of the new m3's for that e30 nowadays. Stop acting like its the poor man's easily fixable in your garage car anymore

Btw if you didn't know it's not 1920s now tech has evolved its super reliable it's more likely for a mechanical part to fail than some computers. New one is super easy to maintain oil filter is in nice location plus you have obd port so you can plug and it will tell everything. And for clutch in automatic g80 well guess what it doesn't have any, for the manual it's super strong and it will last long time and easy to replace. For e30 clutch easy to replace too. And for sensors e30 has lots of sensors ecu, crank sensor, pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, full electronic injection. And g80 has lots of sensors too.

@@dkdanis1340 anybody claiming that computers and sensors are reliable is simply a salesman. Not in the real world. Computers and sensors are the blight on modern cars. Flappy paddle DSG clutch setups are wasted on a car (they below on a HGV) and frighteningly expensive when they go wrong. Look at the early Golf and Scirocco repair bills...and Audi are even worse.

Having seen a black one in real life... it's MUCH better looking than in pictures.

Love my E30. Might be old and a bit rattly but it's fun to drive. Cheap to maintain and plenty you can do to it. As someone said in the comments. No one will remember the new one in 30 years time

I'd say it's worth it my dude! Love my e30

Same has been said about E36s, so...

@@theocmaniak So... When? In 1990?

@@CathodeRayNipplez Yeah, the point is that E36s even though considered hideous for most is still a classic today.

@@theocmaniak Righto. I didn't know there was an negativity towards the E36 at launch but I'm also not a Bimmer connoisseur either. I just know what is futuristic and what is a fad, these big mouth grills were introduced for the Chinese market as they just love this sort of crass gawdy cartoon stuff, and being the biggest consumer of cars now we all get lumbered with it. It wont last, just need to suffer it for a while. That said the poor G80 isn't futuristic or ahead of it's time and won't grow into it's skin. It will always be fugly and def won't become a future classic. Fortunately there are now some great looking aftermarket front ends available that look fabulous. I belive BMW have bought the rights to a particular manufacturer in Europe somewhere to use from the factory.

I saw a 4 series recently, and I laughed out loud. Who goes into a dealership and spends big on something that ugly?

for me the big grille grown on me. also i think the M3 looks better than the M4 and 4er.

It’s a minger. It’s impossible to love it. I’ve tried. I’ve thrown towel in. It’s just an ugly car. And the e3O so stanced perfect. Just a sweetheart.

And they look even worse in the flesh. The M8 is even worse though. I don't know what they were thinking with these designs. It's like they decided to make no areas of the car match the others. The lines are awful.
