Or everyone and their mother is jumping on the e92 m3 bandwagon. I love this car and have owned one but they’re being overly exaggerated in how great and special they are. Major main and Rod bearing problems. I still love this car but the current pricing makes no sense at all.

@@rods715 it’s not exactly a bandwagon. It’s been consistent a steady growth over years. I work for Hagerty and track prices for modern collectors literally as my job. The whole market has been up for years, but is slowly settling back down. It’d be a bandwagon if all of the sudden everyone was hyping them up and grabbing. But that’s not the case. They’ve been buying them for years and years, almost regardless of price. EAG will sell $100k E9xs, and some will sell for $25k because of condition. But the point I made is that the car is consistently praised, despite rod bearings, throttle actuators, valve cover gasket, or whatever else you want to say to knock value on why someone shouldn’t own one. The market speaks louder than one voice. And the market (and media) has consistent appreciated them year after year. Thus, not a bandwagon.

Change the oil every 6.000 miles and the rod bearings every ~40.000 and you're good to go. But I agree that the prices are way too high, even though the prices in the UK aren't even that expensive - prices for LHD models are insanely overprized.

Great looking example .. & wonderful roads.

This car is a product from a world where emissions was just a concept😢. Well said 👏

Another Monte Carlo owner here well worth the 600 mile round trip from Buckinghamshire to Glasgow to collect!

E46 is my favorite generation of M3. E92 is a close second!

I had a B3S BITURBO E92 and it was one of the best cars I ever had. E92 comes with clear lines and simple mascular design unlike the current M2 which I will never understand. Nice channel and makeup, keep going.

This one is one of my BMW dream cars. 😍😍😍

Had one, made some essential mods; decat, chiptune, brakes, gts software for dct and the car was glorious! That engine is just something else, it is almost in class with the porsche gt3 engine. I am going to buy one later when i have some spare room. Now chucking around in my m4, way better chassis but not that spectaculair engine.

Absolutely gorgeous, the Monte Carlo blue has to be one of the best ever

I have to agree. I’ve owned an E46 M3 6spd, and have driven my buddies E92 M3 many times, as well as the E36 and E30 M3’s that other bids of mine had. I’ve also driven the F82 M4 several times. So I have some decent experience with M3’s. As quick as the F82 was, it lacked in driver connection compared to everything else. The E30 was awesome mostly for its nostalgia, but other than that, I was desiring more from it. The E36 felt too slow and didn’t really stand out among even my E46 in terms of driver connection. My E46 has a great balance of connection and power, but the E92 takes the E46’s great’ness, and just adds a bit more power, but amazing sound. So, I think the E90/92 is pinnacle BMW //M 100%. The only reason why I haven’t bought one is because of it atrocious gas mileage and rod bearing issues

i love my m3. it was my childhood dream car, and i’ve wanted one for a very long time. Had a e36 m3, e46 m3 and now the e92. i was always scared it wasn’t going to live up to the hype around it until i drove my dads and that’s when i sold my 135i and in the same week bought my m3. It now has 168k miles and pulls strong as ever. This is my forever car i wouldn’t trade it for much besides a 911 turbo or gt3 lol

Glad I bought one it feels good to drive at low speeds as well as ripping it fast

E92 design is timeless and very sexy. I really hope someone will do review on E90 M3. Its rare beast these days.

I have owned and driven most of the great M cars, from e30/e28/e24 to present, and agree this is the best M car ever.

Even the (e90’s) 335i are such a great cars to drive with the DCT.

Even though mine is 100% stock i love the noise it makes when it hits about 8k rpm’s.

In my opinion it's one of the best coupé's ever made,also the E46 m3

*Love my baby NEVER let her go!*

got one of the last made alpine white dct no headlight washers or heated seats but everything else 27k at time i got it……last bunch were individual special colors ended production 6/2013 and glad i didnt wait any longer

Best looking Car ever

I do like the E92, and not just because of the engine. The styling is just lovely. I couldn't live with the engine scare issues though, and these are just a little bit too big for me. I went for an OG M2 which is even better looking imo, and reliable.

I have to say coming from an F83 to the E92 M3 I'd have to agree with you. The sound from the engine is glorious, though in standard backbox form the exhaust is a little too quiet. On my F83 all you heard was induction noise (it had an aftermarket induction kit) so it 'wooshed' a lot but not too much engine noise. I think I understand now why people love V8's so much! The other thing too mention I think is you have to work the E92 to get the most from it, and more revs = more smiles. The F83 was just so fast and so torquey you didn't need revs to get it to go. This imo also makes the E92 more of a drivers car. Only one downside to this car; the MPG. I could move the F83 at a fairly rapid pace and still return high 20's. My E92 after 2 weeks of ownership is telling it does 13MPG so prepare to get familiar with the petrol station forecourt. 😱
