Watch Four Generations Of BMW M3 Battle It Out On One Runway
What we have here are four generations of the BMW M3 dynasty in one place. That’s exciting enough as it is, but to make this little family reunion that little bit more interesting, each of them is special in some way.
The E30 is a Roberto Ravaglia edition - named after one of the most successful touring car drivers of all time. The E46? That’s an M3 CSL, still considered by many to be the high point of the M3 story. The E92 is the rare and reassuringly expensive GTS, and finally, the F80 is the very same M3 CS we had on test a few weeks ago.
It’s not exactly hard to predict the result - the cars finish in the order you’d expect. But what might come as a surprise is the distances between each. Press play and you’ll see what we mean.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Awesone drag race , the sound of that e92 though… amazing
Either you missed 2 or misstyped 8 with 9
At 1:40 “463 liter straight six”. I guess it probably has 3 horsepower😂
463 liters oof
Amazingly the newer more powerful car won
I would still take the E30
Y tho, it doesn’t even look that good
Same, I love the E30
E92
The fact that they’re not in chronological order bugs me
I actually really like these multi-generation drag races.
the orange E92 GTS is the big sexy by far. the E30 is so much fun to drive, (my first bimmer 318is) , but obviously gonna get wrecked, the E46 M3 is the lowest of them all and literally drives like its on rails (could prob beat them all on a tight curvey course) but the F80…dayum. No way can a V8 keep up with a 453 hp twin turbo straight six off the line. But in the end I’d take the Big Sexy. Looks cooler.
E92 gts is my 2nd fav car of all time do you agree ?
where was Colin
