The Story of the Greatest BMW Ever Made

One thing to note, the Spitfire and other allied aircraft did outclass the BF-109. The reason why German pilots had kills into the hundreds while the top allied pilots only had a couple dozen is because when an allied pilot became an ace, they were often sent home to train younger pilots given their inherent value, while German aces flew combat sorties throughout the entire war which allowed them the opportunity to continue getting kills.

I used this car a lot in Asetto Corsa, to improve my driving. I wasn´t very consistent, because of my Lack of experience and I started with fast cars, which don´t leave much room for errors. So I choose to train with a slower car, and this is where i learned to love this BMW M3

Its a lovely video but Ive grown to hate this type of content.
It changes little for us car guys who already scowered the net in search of info on particular model,
all it does is introduces more normies to the cars, with little to no effort on their part to get to know the car thru individual investigation, forums etc.
The result of all that is prices keep increasing to hell.

E30 is a great car, but in this time its still a rust bucket like many others from that era, torsional rigidity is shit, and most chassis's have been material strained so much its more like chewing gum with wheels.

It can be a nice project or resto-mod car if you are willing to dump a lot into it.

But for less you can have more if you look around wisely - UNTIL someone recognize that car also, and makes a video on that car as well, sheesh.

Me and my family have always had BMW.

When you talk about balance, that's what i most admire in those cars. To make something so powerful be so easy to drive. So efficient in movement.

The modern M3 still holds to this idea although it's now much more powerful. Yet the car is so easy to drive it's shocking. Truly a work of precision and art.

bf 109 bla bla bla .. canon fudder for almost any allied fighter, too short wings, too much wingload ... BMW made good cars but nowdays avoid them, money pits that leave you on foot

BMW my world favourite car ever 😍😍😍😘😘

What an awesome video! Made me like my e30 even more

Beautifully narrated

Chrysler tried with the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird.... they sat in show rooms for the most part years and years after they were made.... now they are 300K usd cars on the cheap end.

Ray Owen's 1966 Chevy Chevelle won 186 times in a row without a loss (drag racing) from 1966 to 1968, raced 692 races and won 676!!!

That last line goes so hard

They are still proving it today, making $80,000 supersedans. Sedans faster than ferraris, lamborghinis, audi r8s, everything...

7 min Nurburgring lap times while going to the grocery store with 30mpg today. 600hp while also achieving comfort. all things that makes m3s amazing.

This is how we are destroying the world and its inhabitants. Sad but true. I still love cars lol

Not a fan of these M3 4 cylinder.the real legend is the 325is🔥💯

I just love the fact that all of the M3 cars sticked to the same formula "a sports coupe that you can daily drive, to work, to take a drive with your family and friends, but also a race car you can take to the tracks and return home with the same car"

My personal favourite will always be the Laguna Seca Blau M3 E46

that intro is so fucking good .

even today lot of BMW fans wants a E30 M3
one of my old friends buyed one some 10 years ago for 11.000 euros , the guy that sold the car 6 months later wanted the car back for the same money, my friends " no no i only sell it for minimum 23.000 euros, he still have the car until today,

Me, if i get my hands on a E30 M3 i will keep it until i die, you don't sell such car ! you keep it even if the car is " wrecked " !

Calling the 190E 2.3-16 a "terrible road car that raced" is unfair and untrue.

It's incredible to me that BMW made one of the best cars of the world of any format and the best car in the world of the 2 door saloon format and now they make the most hideous and undesirable monstrosities and perpetuate the government's power grabs and lies. It's amazing the damage being publicly traded can do when supervillains have all the money.

91 octane 🤣🤣🤣 Bro this is Europe we usw 100 octane!!!

such an underrated chanel

This makes me miss my 2013 BMW 3 series. It was a beautiful car and handled so well. But boy was it expensive to maintain. I got 162k out of it before the maintenance cost became just too much to bear. My 2022 G70 is nice too. Though faster, and equally sexy, it doesn't feel as planted as my 3 series did.

Amazing!

No hay duda de que el e30 fue una gran máquina pero el ratio de victorias por carrera participada ni se le acerco nunca al del sierra cosworth, que claramente era muchísimo más eficaz con un ratio de 8 victorias de cada 10 carreras participadas, tanto en circuito como en rally. Ni el m3 ni el 190 evo estuvieron a la altura, eran buenos pero no tanto como el sierra

gaaaaaaadiamit!!!! your diction, flow, sounds, images and inflections are all put together oh so well!! you definitely earned my subscription. and to think i just stumbled upon this by chance?! am elated. to any car enthusiast, this is such a worthy suggestion!

Superb❤💯✊

Dude I really hope your getting your paybacks for these videos.

All German cars disintegrate in 3 years. Second hand value = money pit.

great video

Great documentary, but there are some inaccuracies regarding the birth of the M3. The body is somewhat different but the chassis not that much. It has different front struts, front geometry and E28 brakes. Floorpan is the same, as is the structure. It has widebody fenders, an elongated C pillar and different boot for aerodynamics, which are substantial differences but definitely not a bespoke car.

There's just about 20-25hp difference between the DOHC race ready S14 from the early M3 vs. the more streetable, SOHC M20 from the 325i, a family of engines introduced in '77 and not the 60's. It's race ready descendant the S50 gives you an idea of the huge potential the M20 had. The reason the S14 was chosen vs. a line 6 is for weight distribution, cause the M30/S38 can be made to fit the E30 and the E30 was designed around the M20 so it's a perfect match. The M10 was just a convenient solution cause it shared parts of it's architecture with it's big brother the M30 so the S38 head design could be adapted easily into it and the M20 would've required much more development.

Finally, the E30 was hardly a bad card to be dealt. It was a very well built, fast car for the time with great handling - it's just that Mercedes had invested a shit ton of money into the 190E to make sure their first small car was a huge hit from the get go while BMW had just evolved the E21 so obviously they had to spend some money to match the 2.3-16 and they very much did, for a lot less money too.

When the German engineers at BMW, Mercedes or Porsche have to prove something, they put so much effort into it that they outperform everything and everyone by miles

If i could have absolutely any car as a daily driver it'd be a 2023 BMW M3 Competition XDrive all day long its a masterpiece but what M3 wasn't a masterpiece in its time they are literally track cars that when your done at the track you can cruise home in opulence and luxury drenched in carbon fiber and turbo's

Epic! Just increased my car culture with this video. And now I want one M3. But it's impossible for me to get. 😅

Skip the first 25% unless you like airplanes

It's not the topic of the video of course... but:
30% of all manufactured BF-109s crashed during take offs and landings.. due to narrow chassis and tight packaging chosen by willie messerschmitt, which was necessitated by German engines, BMWs I presume, being vastly underpowered. BF-109 was an aerodynamic disaster also prone to unpredictable stalling in the air. No wonder you'd need 200 hours of flying to learn to fly it (if you didn't crash in flight school). Underpowered , aerodynamically challenged aircraft made of expensive materials which couldn't take off and land safely... Oh my god! Marketing does wonders to consumerist brains!!! ))
352 air victories? Funnilly if you add up German ace tallies on the Eastern front you get twice as many aircraft as Soviet had produced, and half of those were written off due to none-combat situations. You also need to factor in non-ace victories tally and the realistic number gets from 352 down to 171, then to 86 and then to 43... That the most realistic tally.

Nazi knighthood myths had to be regularly fed and Aces were the icons to be spared and protected... hence stealing numbers from comrades in arms, abandoning tough dogfights leaving juveniles to deal with Soviet pilots, empty stats etc etc....

BF-108 is actually a design parody necessitated by BMW's being underpower and inadequate for the job (as good as they could have been in their own right).

Maybe you peasants should sometimes scrutinize legends about your knight weaved by your Lords ?

Very good video, it's a shame though that it was all about track racing. What about the M3 rally cars, which are probably better known in motorsport.

Late to the party but once again, Squidd, your narration and the scripting is fantastic

Isn't BMW's logo blue and white because these are the colours of the bavarian flag? The "Bundesland" where BMW is from?

Nd2 > E30 M3 😂

And the E30 is still one of the best looking cars ever :)

I revisit this video from time to time to help me regain the motivation to continue improving my e30 touring.

Isnt the squid a undeniable beautiful lady? Her narrator is very good as well. Great combo.

IDK how you managed to put almost all DTM Chuck Norris jokes in One Video, but congrats m8.
So many inaccuracies...

And than Alfa Romeo came and took it all😂

I miss my Alpine White 1990 E30 M3, which I sold back in 2001 because I got married and needed a family sedan instead.

Dude, your videos are epic! The, script, the music - epic! Your video on the Lancer Evo got me looking through the used cars sites. This one here made me look back at my 25 year old e46 gentleman with more respect. And I'm not a car enthusiast!
