That new type R seems to be a fairly solid car. Looks like loads of fun to drive.

It feels like that almost everyone here in this comment section wants to praise one car and thrash the other. Like can't we just appreciate both of them for how good they are. Also for those saying that they much rather own a 20 year old BMW than a new Type-r... Maybe you like it more but maintaining it is a pain in the ass.

getting oversteer in an e36 is one of the reoccurring dreams I have along with: shifting from 3rd to 4th gear lol

The new Type R is a good car to drive but I would still choose an old M3 insted! RWD is just so much more fun!

progression = getting bigger and fatter. m3 was a medium sized car. civic is a small car. yet the civic now is bigger than the old m3.

***** i don't believe so, cause the honda jazz is the same size as what the civic was. bmw brought out the 1m because the m3 is as big as the old m5. all the manufacturers just make cars bigger and bigger only to bring out new models that fill the space of the smaller size again.

Bigger car means bigger deformation zone. better safety. a bit the opposite of the theory that the heavier cars are safer. totally wrong, the fact of having a bigger absorber is what makes deceleration more progressive then the curve of the force of impact is more mild and less agressive, then less injury for us.

Fernando Fragoso yes of course. but why make the civic bigger and bigger, only to introduce a jazz which is the same size as the old small civic? in bmw's case, the 1m.

Its to make people happy with their purchase because their new car is bigger and therefore better, when they release a new line they don't have to fool anyone anymore and can go back to as small as possible and slowly increase again.

Huxley Gay, it has nothing to do with safety standards. It's because people who buy these cars keep dreaming about owning the bigger model, 5 series/Accord, so they make the classic cliche "longer, wider, lower" for the all new Civic/3 series so that it appears they're making progress.

Cool challenge!! Thx guys

its all about accelerating at the right time & handling nut good show

That old Bimmer is still beautiful after all these years!

I'll still take the m3 any day.

No thanks, I'd still pick the M3

cmon Collin u can do it one day! i hope u will never be ill again ♥

Michelin must be paying for sponsorships this week. This is the second video in a row that's specifically called out the Michelin PS Cup 2 tires. And then calling out the Civic is on Michelins also.

damn i love type R !!!!!

I've an atr, boxster and a Vw Phaeton. All are amazing in their own way

Steve Sutcliffe managed to lap the Type R faster than the CURRENT M3 (and Audi RS3)..... How? Yes it may be FWD but it is pretty light, lots of torque, hard as nails suspension, sticky tires and an aggressive diff. It is a very track focused car! As are a lot of modern performance cars. Which one will be more comfortable and entertaining to drive on the road? The M3, by a country mile. More than an hour in the Type R and you'll need physiotherapy afterwards!

No havent you watched the video?

I loved this video. Both cars are amazing. I drove my date to her graduation ball in a borrowed Yellow BMW E36 M3 back in 1998 and loved it ... more than the date. I owned the previous generation Honda Civic Type R FN2 and absolutely loved that car with some fun at a race track and chasing a Ferrari 360 Spider through a twisty mountain pass while my beautiful wife screamed for me to slow down! Now I own a BMW X3 xDrive 28i with it's naturally aspirated 3.0 liter straight 6 motor and I'm loving it #LivingTheDream #EnjoyingTheDriveThroughLife PS: I had a client take me for an extremely fast breakFAST run in his Porsche 911 Turbo S pushing over 580bhp. I have never been so scared in my life. When I got back home I apologized to my wife for scaring her in the Type R ... it's scary when you're not feeling the response through the steering yourself! But ... I absolutely loved that breakFAST run even though I was scared of becoming a paraplegic. I'm okay with dying, I just don't want to be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life :/

BMW E36 has aged quite well & still looks sublime compared to the civic, handles brilliantly & still competitive in motorsports events 24 years after its debut.....

no point; the m3 would win the civic type r has a terrible 1/4 mile time of 14 seconds that's slower than a focus rs tbh the only thing that makes the civic type r special is it's a fwd and it was amazing on the nurburgring meaning it corners exceptionally well but rwd is better for a race car in general any day

Can't beat that iconic straight six noise from the old bimmers, sorry Honda.

I think that generation of type r's look the best its just so clean looking

Alex’s knuckles bruised from a nice trip down the pub

Everyone calling the type r a rice car are forgetting that practically every car manufacturer is now making cars with turbos. Japan were early leaders with turbos way back in the 80's with cars like the Cordia turbo, GTR and in Australia the Commodore VL Turbo that used a turbo Nissan engine. Then the 90's the 200SX, Celica GT4, Mitsubishi GTO, Supra, WRX, Evo lancers etc and now Merc are doing the rice thing with their A45 etc. Na is the past turbo is the future.

most of the lost power can be restored with filter changes, oil changes, spark plugs and wires. you can also use an oil aditive to regain some of the lost compression. but the oil, filter, plugs and leads are about 80% of the powerloss

Before you even started the race, you fudged with the M3's suspension. You quite likely wrecked the M3's ability to handle.

Euphorica Suspension and handling is NOT just new parts bolted onto a car. The geometry of all the parts is just as important as the quality of the parts installed. Minute adjust of all parts greatly changes the handling ability of the car they are bolted to. This means the chumpy at the start of this video most likely wrecked his cars ability to handle. He is NOT an engineer for a race team, he does not know what he's doing in regards to his cars performance, especially when he goes and does something so drastic as radically altering the car's ride height. Raising the car's ride height by as much as 1 millimeter counts as radically altering. Tiny changes in one part greatly affects the abilities of all suspension components as it changes the forces acting upon those components. As soon as he turned a wrench on the M3's suspension, he voided the lap times the M3 would return. This test is meaningless.

For 20 years old it looks sharp. How fun

the time cant be accurately measured with a manual stopwatch

If you've ever done a trackday it's funny what can keep up with what when stuff is well/badly driven. I've seen an old mini beat a Ferrari F40 on a hillclimb. The Ferrari driver was utter shit and mini driver had it pinned.

I'd still have the Have the E36 M3 however you need quite deep pockets to keep it well maintained .

I prefer you just making car review like this, i really love how you present and describing. Just don't bother about project car, it's kinda boring though, because it's not you who build things.
