BMW E46 330i ZHP Vs. E36 ///M3

[DinanMcubed]

Too bad the ZHP got a big jump on the M3. But the M3 looked like it cam back a little.

[BlakeLee11911]

Its an "E46" M3, They didn't putt out all that much power, those are pretty realistic results considering he didn't get as well of a start as the ZHP driver, whom probable does have some work done as well. (ZHP owners are more typical to mod their cars then most)

[BlakeLee11911]

@BlakeLee11911 Correction: I meant an "E36" M3

[3yar1983]

i bet the bmw won !

[davidm40236]

yawn get a real bmw m3 e46

[Vanos74]

fault start

[Dannydanthepizzaman]

I bet the bmw wins.

[Quanni90]

this is bs i beat a imola zhp e46 with my euro e36 swap by alot!!!

[addy325is]

@Quanni90 of course your gonna win with a fucking euro .. the zhp is only pushing about 240hp and the 96+ euro made 328hp

[bezele887]

i must have e36 love that shit !!!!

[eugenesxyboi999]

its not an M3. You cant even compare an m to a non-m. Unless that ZHP is modified

[rob1984p]

that m3 must be very tired

[jwcarreira]

Zhp came out in late 02 models. Call the dealer and they can run your vin and tell u weather its a GM or zhp. I was even prouder to find out my 02 330i E46 loaded w/comfort / sports / premium package. I had a 02 Dodge ram 360 and I must say, I'll always have a BMW because they are truly a all around driving machine.

[addy325is]

@jwcarreira zhp came with special interior and a 6 spd

[DEADmetal3]

WTH?

[chydinov305]

тот что справа стартанул позже,а так бы в ровень шли,наверное

[ElitePersonality]

330i redlighted on takeoff obviously but it'd still been a good race

[vongeiss]

WOW I've never seen someone jump the start so bad before.

[viktord1]

looks like a HOT FUCKING DAY

[necoyoyo]

US E36 totaly suck

[Acct1941]

Around a track, the E36 M3 and E46 M3 are only about .2 of a second in the E46's favour. The previous car was a better "all-around". C/D tested the 2 in Spain, and there was only a miniscule difference! E46 owners should feel like suckers. They won't in a drag race though.

[SilentSlayer90]

@Acct1941 dude, the E46 M3 will rape the E36 in a drag race.

[ElitePersonality]

@Acct1941 .2 of a second is a fairly good difference..

[Acct1941]

@ElitePersonality On a 2km circuit, minor differences in tyre inflations could make a .2 sec difference.

[ergecan]

videoda ki m3 ne 286 hp ne de 321..amerikan versiyon 241 hp,ülkemizde olmadiğindan pek bilmiyoruz.330 ise yine amerikan versiyon performans paketine sahip zhp adında..o da yaklaşık 5-6 hp desek..sonuç bence normal...

[MSeries99]

Looks like the e36 was waiting on a third honk but since he saw the e46 take flight, hes was like "oh shit wtf" and started late lol

[TopiAS06]

is that us model m3?, if it is it haves that 247hp

[bmwpowerrulez]

Fuck e46 , e36 forever !

[ohwowbeau]

you can see the ///M logo on the back.... lol

[MrFurryface]

i love all bimmers period! burn in hell.. ricers :D  ///M Power

[713slipkn0t713]

e46 m3s are the best cars ever, its such a fail this was a 330i

[MrAmmar313]

FAKE

[piotr9520]

this is not  e36 m3 this is a 328i

[L4MBORGH1NI]

@piotr9520 nope, real M3...

[piotr9520]

I saw and I tell you with a m3 e36 engine it has probably broken one will not believe it of 330ci m3 e36 win with bmw e36 3.0 286 ps and 3.2 321 ps, bmw e46 3.0 231 ps ?

[tias88]

@L4MBORGH1NI LOL do you think we are retarded? either thats a 328, or the driver is stoned to hell!

[FireballGER]

@L4MBORGH1NI but Amarikan spec .... not german Spec...

[KoyanDJ]

@L4MBORGH1NI american M3 not the real (european) M3

[blasueltz123]

@KoyanDJ Yes, Euro M3 = 286 PS / Vmax 250 km/h, US M3 = 240 PS / Vmax 220 km/h

[KoyanDJ]

@blasueltz123 euro M3 3.0L=286hp(1991 to 1995), 295hp to the limited M3 gt(1995) and euro M3 3.2L=321hp(1996 to 1999) américan M3 is just a fat 328i with //M body kit i think

[koG10t]

@KoyanDJ euro m3 3.0---> 286hp is different than euro m3 3.2--->321hp the 3.0 is the 1993 model amd the 3.2 is the 1997 model in america the 3.2--->265hp

[Lichacsw]

@blasueltz123 Euro M3 3.0 286PS & 3,2 321PS

[terrarist36]

@L4MBORGH1NI if it is a real M3 .. the engine will be death ...

[audi0000a4]

ZHP 330i and US spec E36 M3 have the same numbers on paper- 0-60, 1/4 mile, HP , ect. I dont know why people think its not an M3, The cars are very close matched from the factory. The ZHP has more power than a standard 330i, and plenty of BMW upgrades.

[TheDecidingBullet]

@piotr9520 listen to sound it is an m3 plus a 330i is realy fast

[SupraTompan]

@piotr9520 You know the Americans have a larger M50/52 engine in their M3 E36's compared to our European S50/52.

[addy325is]

@SupraTompan you have it back wards the american model only made 240 hp as the euro made 328hp

[FENDAKIAS]

@piotr9520 because I have 330 Ci E46, this E36 was 328. not M3 3.0 with 286ps, and of course not 3.2 with 321ps.

[piotr9520]

@FENDAKIAS but so weak that you have a 328i with the engine

[TheMendacious]

HAHAHA ///M DRIVER IS A STUPID CHICKEN

[325izapp]

Lol stupid driver? Dude your a hater...its a e46 330i zhp meaning it's faster than the regular 330i because its a better package....dumbass.

[omegahallll]

The M3 has a ''peformance'' exhaust...

[MrAndres088]

The e36 isn´t a M3! each one who knows how a S52 engine sounds like would know that the e36 isn´t a M3!!!

It could be a 325i o 328i!

[pimparuchi]

e36 should eat that shit. Stupid driver.

[omegahallll]

Ok so my friend has a 330zhp auto and I had an E36 m3 manual

We raced on the highway and from a standstill.

Highway, from a second gear through the end of the 4th gear I had 1/2 car length.

Standstill till 60 mph, I had aprox. 1 hood. Performance wise, they are very close cars. I driven both and the M3 (esp. in manual) does give you a better sensation of speed ( zhp was automatic). However I found the zhp's steering was better.

[omegahallll]

@omegahallll

Wont let me post the image of my car but go to bmwregistry (.com)

and search in the registry for a e36 m3 sedan. My last name is ''Lévesque'' should find a estoril under that name!

[royclung]

@omegahallll exactly ! People don't believe this video because they've never driven a ZHP before.

[giodemon]

nevertheless this is an US Spec e36 m3, it would smoked that 330 if he wouldnt F...Up the Start :)

[manofwar22]

guys just so you all know, there really is 3 honks... the first one is barely audible though and i doubt the m3 driver heard it if he missed the launch that badly

[drifterzdoitsidewayz]

am i the first to notice the red e46 taking off before the 3rd honk? lol

[mikestylz96]

I still would pick the e36 m3. Its a classic!

[royclung]

@mikestylz96 limited slip diff make a big different on the track. But the ZHP really has all the M DNA except the LSD

[minnesotaBMW]

Did anyone see that the ZHP took off before the e36 did? Race is Worthless

[IstanbulerHooligan]

thats not a e36 m3 this is a 318i

normaly has m3 3.0l with 286hp and 3.2l with 321hp

the e36 driver is a donkey

[Wolfsburg61]

@IstanbulerHooligan

This one is definately an M3. Its a US SPEC M3.

Kardesim Amerikadaki M3lerde sadece 240 beygir var. Bilmeden konusmayin.

[IstanbulerHooligan]

@Wolfsburg61

seit wann haben m3 in den usa 240ps??ist mir neu.dann hat der m5 e60 statt 507 ps nur 300 oder wat

[Mpresiv3]

both cars are retarded slow! throw the away!

[robbie1490]

@Mpresiv3 Lol sooo jealous. Throw your comments away, because they don't mean shit to the BMW community.

[Mpresiv3]

@robbie1490 BMW community...? My e46 m3 will smoke both these garbage ass cars in reverse! Hooking up 318's and 325's.... People like you give BMW's ricey names for making them lookin like spic-mobiles!

[robbie1490]

@Mpresiv3 Um excuse me? I in no way "rice" my BMW. I keep mine all stock because that's the way it supposed to be. The way you are talking about any BMW calling them "garbage" you shouldn't even have the privilege to own one.

[Mpresiv3]

@robbie1490 well if you keep it stock thats different but you shouldnt be trying to make a 325 go faster and spending money on it. Eventually your going to waste so much on it and its going to be equivalent to a stock m3 if not a bit slower. Just saying bro! Not trying to start a fight.

[robbie1490]

@Mpresiv3 I don't do that anyway :P I have a 330CI and thats enough power for me

[Storm7289]

@robbie1490 i own a bmw and i like it but id rather have something else, fair enough?

[guayo0420]

e36 won in my book..

///M3 POWER!!!

[m3ultimatebmw]

FACT: If this is a 95 ///M3 then the quarter mile would be about the same. According to CarandDriver the ZHP's quarter mile time is 14.4-14.9. The 95 ///M3 does it at 14.6. The 98 US ///M3 runs a 14 flat. And the Euro version crosses the line a little quicker. Eitherways, both the ZHP and the ///M are nice cars, but as for me, i choose the full package: ///M3. ///M POWER.

[FullmoonGarou]

what the car comin next ..its looks .sounds like a ..muscle CAR ??? lol

[L4MBORGH1NI]

@FullmoonGarou 2010 Camaro SS Tuned...

[ToxicReaper7]

@L4MBORGH1NI and cammed lol

[Dissez503]

@FullmoonGarou sounds nothing like a muscle car...

[FullmoonGarou]

@Dissez503 ..said 2010 Camaro SS Tuned...

L4MBORGH1NI il y a 6 mois

[giodemon]

e36 ///M Start WTF ? cant drive

[mrdragking13]

first off who takes off on the second beep?...second the description says 1/4 mile...i highly doubt its a 1/4 mile race.

[Whomiddity]

I'd take an E36 M3 over an E46 330i any day!

[TheRollCrew]

i got the 01 330i and that car pulls its own .. ive yet to lose a race to anything but a zr1

[papidonvilla4]

what kind of m3? an american m3 with 241hp or an european with 286hp 3.0L or 321hp 3.2L? an european m3 would destroy the 330i

[L4MBORGH1NI]

@papidonvilla4 US spec def...

[bimes1987]

@papidonvilla4 European E36 1995-1996 3.0 280hp. 1996-1999 3.2 321hp

[royclung]

@papidonvilla4 US spec onlyZHP vs us spec M3. fair !

[gingervytis]

You call that a race? Usually, boy racers use 3 honks. Clearly the 330 jumped the "light"... which never even honked the 3rd time. That's the only reason the 330 appeared to be faster then the E36 M, which has more torque and HP.

[swolenfetus]

@gingervytis im guessing you own a e36 m3

[Wolfsburg61]

@gingervytis it is an US M3, that one has only 240 250 hp..

[P3RH4PS]

@gingervytis torque and hp aren't the only factors in a race. lolz How about the different gearing, weights, tire width, driver skill....

[Canis510]

@gingervytis I blew the doors off a 330i the other night, I wanted to get ahead of him coming off the light, clearly he was trying to get in front of me as well. He was very agry because when we came out of the single lane section he made a stupid move in front of me and almost hit another car... lol

[NashNY]

A ZHP wouldn't stand a chance against a REAL e36 M3, the euro spec..., not the half assed thing they brought to the states.

[hadoken84]

@NashNY u.s spec isnt half assed u idiot bet u dont own shit u.s spec is better for turbo and supercharged as a matter of fact the euro spec and evo have 286hp and evo 321hp but their trans are more likly to blow thinik before u speak

[thisisfuckinglame]

@hadoken84 you should try making use of punctuation. it really helps with readability.

[oscarv362370]

hey there l4mbo how is everything going? My friend wants to sell me his 2004 zhp for 12000 with 72560 miles? What do you say? It's my first car so I really don't know that much?

[L4MBORGH1NI]

@oscarv362370 thats alright, but you could get a E36 M3 for like 7K and spend the rest 5K on modds to make it faster then a new M3!!!!

[oscarv362370]

@L4MBORGH1NI but the thing is that I don't like how the e36 looks, they were actually selling me one, but I just didn't like the style, it made it look old, and yeah it's an M3 but I just wanted to know if it was a good deal, the thing I liked about the e46 was the supersprint exhaust, and k&n intake, which made it sound nice.

[L4MBORGH1NI]

@oscarv362370 ya thats a pretty good deal for the ZHP, if thats what you want thats cool, but if you are looking for speed then its not really the best bang for the buck, because my brother raced one (the one on the video) with his stock 323i and the zhp won by like 3feet, its up to you though.

[oscarv362370]

@L4MBORGH1NI sure I'll send them to you tomorrow, well it does look nice, the interior looks nice, the paint looks great, and it looks like it has been maintained real well.

[oscarv362370]

@L4MBORGH1NI he says he will regret selling it to me,but needs the money.

[StreeTRacR008]

@L4MBORGH1NI

I really doubt a 323 with 170 hp with a 5-speed BARELY lost to a 235hp 330i with a 6-speed

[turbotdi2002]

M2 should have one if he had a better launch

[tommy604604]

M3 got a bad start

[jorrie2]

Good race :)

[Flewitt56]

lol the filming is awful!

[TypeRacer8]

The M3 E36 miss shifted! xD

[Gnepiah]

2 Beautiful Bimmers!

[lamborghinisown]

sick video. that E36 looks like mine :D

[kevinmosleyI]

BMW wins! Like always! ;)

[umbertino6]

Great drag race!

[sscaerolover]

awsome I like the M3 better I see a 5 or 6 each day here!

[lambofanX]

The 330i looks cooler! Nice race!

Thumbs up!

[L4MBORGH1NI]

@lambofanX true, but its like twice the price :( ... not that much faster for that much.
