2008 BMW M3 First Drive by Edmunds' Inside Line

[jose7777777777777777]

They were cold revving it, not nice

[jhawk2012]

Okay for all you Audi lovers, im not targeting mercedes lovers because i drive one and i understand where the love comes from, dont criticise beemers or any mercedes i mean honestly how manly does an Audi sound. Please get off your faggot periods and realize where Audi's place is..the bottom

[Rricossuave]

Horrible review

[mooresalex]

the manual isnt the only tranny...

[SLK350fast]

It's not bad but I'm more impressed with the Audi S4

[moeali777]

How do they not like the sound? I got an errection at 0:56!

[Jamzkangster]

4.7 seconds 0-60? mother fuckers can;t drive

this m3 hits 4.2, the 2009 hits 4.0 flat and 3.8 wO LC.

[Beatle1107]

@Jamzkangster A stock 135i can go around that 4.7 sec. 0-60 time. O.O

[iLeo24]

m3 rossa...come rovinare una macchina

[joseabreu00]

Edmunds' Inside Line is PG... whatch 5th Gear or Top Gear for the real deal TESTS! Specially Tiff Needell!

[jOeYBMeW]

i have this car...(08 model DCT ) but its not better then the GTR

[jdang]

Did you say "We are not in love with it's sound"? That's like saying you're not in love with Jessica Alba's orgasm.

[Towelman20]

This is the best car in it's class.

[sexyboi142]

man i love that sound but it reminds me of a mustang gt

[superfast30]

Mustang sounds nowhere near as a high strung as this V8 in the m3!

[mjeatsies]

that's cuz in all honesty. unless you get the 500 hp mustang, then all you have is a super heavy car that lacks an engine to go along with it. that's why mustangs aren't that good as many ppl believe

[kubomon17]

i like how in this video they said they cooked the brakes and they said that the steering wasn't all that great. in their track test video they said the exact opposite. they said that the brakes were some of the best they ever tested, and that they didnt fade at all. they also praised the steering in comparison to a 911. you would think that a group like edmunds would deliver more consistent reviews...

[huevon14200006]

Couldn't agree with you more. In fact they rated the new M3 better than the GTR and the 911 Turbo. I'm a Bimmer fan, I haven't driven the new M3 yet but I have driven a 911 Turbo, and that is going to be tough to beat. But I agree these people are all over the place with their reviews.

[kubomon17]

yeah i guess you just gotta be happy with what you get from these guys...

love the car and thats what matters!

[soldier9599]

Better than the GT-R and 911 Turbo? "They"? Whoever "they" is is just a bunch of morons. Comparing the M3 to either of those cars is ridiculous; the M3 is hardly worth half it's price unlike the unbelievable bargain in the far superior GT-R

[b0nes2]

You guys think there is a point in buying the new M3 vs getting a 335i and letting someone like Vishnu tune it?

[slpwlkr04]

yes, the m division changed the chassis of the 3 series. if you have money for the m3 don't pass on it just for a tuned 335i.

[EuroSport2006]

Thats all been fixed. So the brakes won't fade, because Edmunds retested it and got 100ft 62-0MPH. That beats a lot of cars. The new GTR beat it by 2ft. Over and over too.

[bnCOD]

Not as precise as a porsche? What a dumb ass! Bmw are claimed to have the most direct steering of it's class!!

[BestestMoron]

guess the top gear guys disagree with you also!!!

[bnCOD]

What are you talking about, have you seen the M3 on top gear, no you saw the M6 and porsche on Top Gear! Well M3 is not as powerful as the M6 but it's more precise...there is a new top gear episode with the M3, search, watch and then come and post comments!!!

[BestestMoron]

thank you for telling me what i saw & i didn't. I have every single episode of top gear with me & if you have seen them as much as i did from their early days to now, you will know that they put the porsche & m3 in two totally different league.

[greycrx87]

I'm getting one April '08

[jayr545]

I'll be dreaming about getting one in '08.

[kbernard98]

Do you all think that it beats its arch rival the Audi RS4. Top Gear guys predicted that the RS4 was too perfect to be beaten by the yet to be released M3

[kubomon17]

it killed the rs4. did you see the top gear test that they did with the m3, rs4, and c63 amg? the m3 killed them all.

[njoni007]

M3 beat RS4 and AMG 63 C being the slowest due to its uncontrolled power...M3 was only 0.23 sec shy of Lotus F1 car on track raced by a professional driver in UK.

[pacsum]

this car doesn't drives me crazy, it weights a lot and the looks doesn't impresses me either.

Also the regenerative braking and the hydraulic suspension just don't sound good, this is by far not a purist car but hey that's how gringos like their cars

[njoni007]

It is actually lighter than E46 M3 lol

[goldfall]

the engine is lighter than e46s engine but...the whole car is heavier...go look it up...

[christophbs]

@goldfall Yes only the engine is lighter.

[Euphorica]

not inlove with the sound? are they gay?

[tblack21]

Yeah I really don't think a V8 can sound a whole lot better, with the ecxeption of maybe a V8 Vantage or F430.

[quuaa1]

I like that sound.

[jayr545]

yeah it sounded great, this guy is gay; he would of liked it to sound like a dildo, then he would have been happy.

[californiamiike]

jayr545, haha that shit actually made me laugh for reals. and yeah it does sound great

[timvoboy]

Sounds MEAN, I like it, but for those on a budget at least there's still the 335i!

[hyeemyes]

i hate paddle shits im happy bmw decided to stick with a manual gear box

[cubensis2k]

I want that dual clutch gearbox, with launch control and steering wheel paddle shifters. Tell then i am going to get an E46

[julesman]

$60000!! Shit, that's cheap... £50,625 pounds in the UK (over $100,000). I'll wait till the new gearbox arrives.

[SiamLars]

Norwegian price:

1.3 mill NOK. (100.000£)(200.000$)...

[rocketpunch12210]

Nice upload! Performance was a bit disappointing (not that I can afford one anyway). Weight is probably the factor here at almost 3500lbs. The brake fade issue may be rectify with CC brakes (like the Porsche) however don't think BMW will offer it as an option.
