Watch This BMW M3 Top Speed Comparison Video: E30, E36, E46, E92 And F80

The M3 is now in its fifth generation, having transformed itself from a naturally-aspirated four-cylinder car to a V8 and now a twin-turbocharged straight-six. Here's a great video demonstrating each car's top speed and engine note (Edit: turns out the E30 is not an M3!)

The first car is not a E30 M3. It is most likely 325is or super eta. My 325ix pulls 230km/h (215km/h GPS) with stock engine and modified intake. Any late model M3 should be able to pull 250km/h easily and odo going up to 260 which is darker than stock and has bright red needles, and doesn’t have economy gauge which is replaced by oil temp gauge.

When the latest 2 generations are barely any faster than the E46.. shows how good it was (still is) for it’s time really

E46 was a great car by all means but the latest f80 m4/m3 will leave it far behind in a drag race due to the extra horsepower and mainly the massive torque

Fake and gay!

I heard the E46 use a turn signal! BMW’s obviously don’t come with those fitted!

:D
