BMW E30 M3 - a living legend

this... This is how I want to drive. This is how cars shoud be driven - fast, aggressive, hard, at the limit.

Patrick Snyers had everything to drive for! McRae didn't! It was Mark Lovell, driving a Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, who set the early pace, but he retired with engine failure after only a handful of stages. Fabrizio Tabaton (Lancia Delta HF Integrale 8v) was the European leader! So Snyers was flat out 2 win and McRae only had to finish in the top 3! To win the Open Champion! If Lovell hadn't had engine trouble..... He would have walked it easy! He was a God in the Cosworth!

A breathtaking display of forceful driving.

Awesome driving Patrick!!! Put that in your pipe and smoke it, little Cosworth boys! 1 m3 entered kicking serious arse!!! I remember it, although I was a kid!! And that made a huge impact on my opinion cars!!!!! Lol!!!! Even today , only BMW,s I drive Thanx to Patrick and his m3! Lol!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChraftShaft]

I seriously can not understand why Patrick Snyers has not been given a fair chance in the WRC!?!?!?!?

Could someone please explain this to me?

[SUAVEMICK46]

Awesome driving. Nothing beats a driver who has found the sweet spot in a car, especially one as well balanced as an E30 M3. Cheers Evo for telling the story.

[krugerboy]

Just read about this in EVO magazine and had to take a look. Stunning stuff, don't think that motor ever dropped below 7000 rpm !!

[man710r]

I think they should only let you buy an M3 if you promise to drive it like that. I bet you there would be a different bunch of folks driving M3's anyway lol

[VIBEZom]

thats the way to drive an BMW m3 :P

[4fsake]

Couldn't you just tell he was part of that car!

That was first Class!

Great post, thankyou, 5*s

[e30hoon]

A great piece of driving, absolutely amazing.

[TheLiquidKnight]

Genius. Pity Health and safety have taken the fun out of motorsport these days.

[aqua5boy]

as I heard a fan say once, "He wasn't takin' the mother to mass!"

[aqua5boy]

He'd have that beemer talkin' to ya. Phenomenally gifted driver. We met him on Cyprus Rally 86 - a quitely spoken, modest and thoroughly nice bloke, with a smile that'd drop any young one's knickers at 50yds! The Irish fans adopted him as Paddy Snidgers ;-) Hi to his co-driver Danny Colebunders - maybe the bravest lad out there!

[johnLabella]

i was there....he was on form that weekend and no one was going to beat him,,,

[A3rox]

Patrick **Snijers** is from belgium! In my opion, Pratick is the best belgian rally driver ever!

[Jesus45U]

There's some serious speed in some of those sections, that man must have had balls of brass SO big, he'd have to take them off to get into the car. XD

[disid89]

questo c'ha le palle quadrate!!!!!!!!!!!fenomeno!

[Bostel83]

Hail to the king baby

[sirmasdimitris]

THE driver!!!!

[RavenF2]

Great driver and he is still rallying! BTW- he is Snijers, not Snyers.

[3312cdfp5674]

thats intense driving

[jcboybarbados]

Maaaaaann !!

He wanted 2 get home quickly !!

[johnLabella]

i was there spectating that year and he was awesome!! got some great pics too!!

[A3rox]

Awesome!! I would have a look at those pics!

[wtsx10]

omg, der Typ ist ja mal wirklich total gaskrank.....absolut geil ;)

[MathiasGTI]

That's absolutely incredible!

[fidelyo123]

that driver got skillz...so much control!

[1959BB]

M3, one of the (now) forgotten rally machines, same as the 911 is getting to be forgotten too. Great shame as they were great cars.

[lukatchi]

@1959BB this is MUCH better then a 911

[jackworrall89]

He's driving the pants off it!

That's absolutely incredible!

[effidrin]

I would like to see Mattias Ekström in a RWD rallyecar on tarmac. He was pretty good on gravel and snow with RWD.

[thegoodlead]

Sooooo much more exciting that boring World Rally Cars. Would be interesting to see Loeb driving one of these on tarmac (or a Manta 400, Chevette HSR, Escort Mk2, Porsche 911, Renault 5 Turbo, Lancia Stratos ... in fact anything with RWD and a LOUD engine!)

[jsteverink]

Exactly! This is what we want to see, I don't know what we need all the current electronics for, this is real racing! RWD is tha bomb ;-)

[Keizerkeyser]

Great video, superb driving!

[ohgoshdirector]

eric are you mentally retarded or something? did your mommy hurt you?

[lengthatron]

at 0.55ish he's sideways INTO the corner. in a beamer. in the dry. Snyers' the nuts.

[rocketpunch12210]

Amazing driving!
