Steve Sutcliffe drives the new V8 BMW M3 - by Autocar.co.uk

[makpak]

he sounds like he owns alot of nice cars.

[SimasSid]

E30 the best! OO=||=OO 4 ever

[demoskunk]

Apparently, he doesn't know that the E46 M3 weighs about 250 lbs less than the current one.

[szero155]

love the 2nd gear wheelspin 0:39-0:40

i dont thnk the M3 is gonna break just because he bangs the rev limiter 6 times, you guys aint paid to do what he does

and what are those 2nd pair of brake lights @ 0:54? rear fogs?

[HotIce05]

@szero155

Those lights are the adaptive headlights. They turn on when you brake hard to let the person behind you know you're braking hard and they should brake as well.

Please come back Chris Harris!!

[Az260790UK]

he sounds really bored

[lancebangwell]

CSL version was canceled.

[snipski0894]

ahh man i was looking forward to seeing how it would be

[aet330]

if sutcliffe drives it deserves a look :)

[8MunchenBayern8]

theres not gona be a CSL version

[mike1the1great]

yeah maybe or maybe yes bmw has posted aloth posts that they are not doing it but and others yes, bmw is confusing ppl, might do it :)

[StuRaz]

Yep, they are not launching a CSL version because they "want to focus more on making cars greener"...

So they launch the X5 M and X6 M with a 4.4l twin turbo 547bhp V8 engine.

Their logic baffles me sometimes.

[mike1the1great]

tought 555 bhp >:P well yeah who knows what the future prings to us :D

[StuRaz]

Either or, it still baffles me how it is 'un-green' to launch two two tonne 4x4s with 550bhp and not a lightweight M3. I know which I would rather have!

[TheAudiTTfan]

@StuRaz Haha same here!

[StuRaz]

@TheAudiTTfan It's alright though because it's got "efficient dynamics", so it has stop start and direct injection, that's it. I work for them and even I find it funny. 

[TheAudiTTfan]

@StuRaz hmm I see...so its bit of an "environmental friendly sportscar" with a big v8.

it did prove to emit less co2 than the RS5 and the C63...

[StuRaz]

@TheAudiTTfan I was talking about the M powered X5/6 in the last comment, M3s don't have stop start. I had a C63 a couple of months back for a week or two.

[uberdubber]

Not sure how many times I personally have shifted up in a slide so I dont hit the limiter and look unprofessional lol

[Armin543]

365 day a year car huh? I guess if those 365 days don't include any snow.

[uberdubber]

and never goes on holiday

[kartkidchun]

Including snow! Easier to drift.

Always look on the bright side of death!

[alpinab5s]

0:34 what a sound!!!

[lesmcluffalot]

Kewlios

[jamesdadrumma]

It may be a good car but if you drive one, like with all Beemers, you are instantly marked out as a bit of a prick. See the dancing drunkard on my channel.

[ghlibisk]

as a BMW owner and a confirmed prick, i would absolutely agree

however, correlation is NOT causation. BMW owners just want the best.

[jamesdadrumma]

That may be true, but there's more to a car than just technical ability.

[aahayford]

its the self-conscious people who always say that... i'm personally not the type to buy a car just because i'll look good in it.

[TGseason10]

I'd be an awesome presenter ^^

Better than him...

[SharpishNick]

My god. Talk about a shit review!

[rednop44]

Oh, Uh, Steve- Dude, everybody is right!

You're a lousy driver.

[FletchCSL]

in steve's defence he's a well respected professional road tester and capable weekend racer.

very few journo's get a chance to drive an F1 car and he was chosen, nuff said

[rednop44]

shut the fuck up.

LOL

Moron-bitch!

[braveheart1345]

what's the deal with the sound of the exhaust?

[KartRacingPro]

hes banging the rev limiter. Why? I have no clue. makes him look like an amateur.

[ghlibisk]

prolly because its not his car. toooooolbaggg

[01tbrooj]

Where are Autocar finding these presenters?

"This car's not much faster than the old M3" - Yeah, OK!!!!!!!

[rg0n909]

this car is way more better then steve is making it out to be!

[rajjy1976]

How the fuck much is it?!?! £51k!?!? Jesus.. thats a bit of a jump from the prev model.

[jambo37]

poor rev limiter

[wormus01]

Steve, stick to the writing.
