bmw m3 e 46 top speed test

[Foursterrr]

nearly top speed in less than 40 seconds... freaking impressive

[moondog203]

I read left to right the speedo and the rev counter are on the wrong side.

[jh1806]

Sounds like it needs a new clutch, that's for sure

[bullseye2467]

run out of road ??

[glenzlbc]

need for speed gamers

[MPOWERM6]

nice and fantastik RUN .. like it

[mookieman81]

NICE RUN!

[FrankfurtGangster18]

mein M3 Bj. 2008 geht noch schneller ab =)

aber der is auch hammer alta

[LTRespekt]

csl... normal

[ogtriple7]

its could of hit 300, Cut the video short.

[aladji1]

yes that's the amazing m3 csl the finest bmw ever made

[ravenfan0885]

Where the hell did you manage to get up to that speed without killing yourself?

[jcadlols]

@ravenfan0885 I'd take a stab with Germany. Btw, In Australia we have the world's longest dead straight road at 147km. But I'm pretty sure the speed limit is about 110... haha

[BJs4MePlz]

thats fkn cray lol.

[znitchy]

sounds like csl and its got smg2 gearbox u can se the Step setting next to the gear so

[chorstma44]

I have the same M3 too! Very nice. I still hvent tried the top speed yet.

[bimmerM3003]

csl

[lecheparavaka]

290? nice!

[madhatter689]

i wants one  D:

[R32gang]

is this stock?????

[BMWgab]

it's an M3 CSL stock!

[MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

thought that was mph at first glance. =P

nice video

[dorukkayhan]

definitely sounds CSL

[cmak4265]

doesnt it sound and look like the clutch isnt grabbing hard enough or is worn out.

[setho1993sso]

know what u mean actuallys an auto u can tell by the number that changes under the tachometer hand, hard to tell cause when it shifts sounds like a manual

[nivea61]

i dont think its an auto... i think its the SMG tranny they dropped into the CSL with paddle shifts... there is no clutch pedal.

[Kublos666]

Its not top speed:D it can make 320 Km/h

[superfast30]

SMG coupled with the distinctive sound that only the CSL airbox can emit!

[superfast30]

Car in the video is a CSL!

[bubbllyboo]

what makes you say that?

[mkkad]

i enjoyed watching that video,u all can see the DSC controlling the car at the start :P it was cool,but that slowed down the acceleration cuz it electronically slowes down the car to keep it in balance.i think he should have puten it off.overall nice vid i love BMWs!

[Whitesonblack]

now turn the steering wheel to the left hard as shit

[Kenttas]

0-100 ~6s. probably there was rainy day?

[airborne87101]

esp was on

[DominicGuitarist]

Am I wrong or is the analog showing less than the advised speed, per say when the needled reaches 280~, the analog display indicates 260.

[theguy459]

no you are right lol

[acombia]

That's the E36 ... look at the display

[Uniquedude5099]

It's E46 M3 SMG. Look at the gear display. Only SMG's have that. I own a E46 M3 6sp MT.

[lhummacar]

you dont ;)

little incognito i-net wannabe

[rkss27]

no hes right, i have a 6sp mt 02 m3, and ya it doesnt show what gear your in, only on the smg

[2000sidohcvtec]

i heard that the e46 m3 shuts off at 155mph

[scarface1224md]

it is limited to 155mph, but there is a way to remove the limiter. In other cars it usually involves removing the traction control module.

[DominicGuitarist]

nice shifts. i notice you do them at 8k but the car still has some until 8300

[mazda6tuner99]

i would not shift at 8300, because the engine is running at the max and burring so much fuel u want to keep in in the safe zone.

[emericanmilitia]

He's trying to go fast, not conserve his fuel.

[elguey0]

tell the SMG (sequential manual gearbox) nice shifts. there's no clutch

[emericanmilitia]

Why would you ever get an SMG M3? For a regular 3 series you're driving in traffic, sure, but an M3? Ehh...

[elguey0]

The SMG is a good gearbox, though I've heard the shifts aren't the smoothest. Probably faster on the track too, unless you're extremely good at shifting and heel/toeing.

[iamElijah]

smg is good while it lasts but also breaks easy and costs 12 grand to replace.. not worth it

[mazda6tuner99]

3rd and 4th gear was fast

[chiperta]

What,s the differance between a 330i and an m3 in power and top speed.

[omgScrub]

....FROM A N/A 6 CYLINDER!!

[VueTim92]

how much does e46 cost?

[rextheracer]

he put regular gas in it...lol

[nitrousgangsta]

either this car is fuked or the driver dusnt kno how to drive it, now everybody knows that an m3 can do 0-60 in less that 6 seconds.

[exproject]

Traction control was stabbing away at the brakes trying to stop the wheel spin, thus slower to 60.

[JeffroGymnast]

traction control doesnt apply brakes, it can only cut the ignition (meaning it doesnt inject any more fuel.)

[coolgames14]

saturn sky accel a bit faster with traction control on

[PatoshikUS]

OMG!!! slow car lol

[danilesmithers]

174~280kph

[iposhow]

its superior

[ziger555]

right !!!!!!!!!!!

[rextheracer]

lol...the supercharger on the m3 is pointless...you cant make the 0-60 any better w/out the wheels spinning.....but top speed w a supercharger....thad be scary....haha

[lookn2find]

0-60 as a everyday driver is not the experience in search for. I think it's more along the lines of 70-120 when wanting to pass a car quickly in some situations where you've just got to because of crazy folks taking up passing lanes... Anyway, 0-60 is only the beginning in these cars. The more power, the less low MPH acceleration means. In a Yamaha R1 motorcycle, you hit 60 in 1.8-1.9, and almost all bikes are now in that range, and when you get this fact you're into higher number pulls.Traction

[rextheracer]

i agree...torque in the 70's is amazing w/ the stock m3...i cant imagine what it would do to your boddy if it had a turbo...lol

[zurus172]

dude in the m3 the supercharger is quiet

[BMW620]

That I6 is the best M engine ever. Sounds pretty good.

[bajanbwoy1]

that is a tuned m3 the m3 is restricted at 250kmp and without the restricter it wil go 320kmp because my uncle had one

[Vinialb]

removing the speed limiter doesnt mean is tuned but showing the real power of the car

[lookn2find]

I bought an E46 M4 stock new in 2001. I hit 174 MPH before letting off of the gas, and it was still pulling nicely. The top speed on a stock M3 is 189, and the US version have easily eliminated speed limiters. Not sure whats speed that is in KMH.

[gokcet74]

gel bendede 94 sahin var 1600 motor kapisalim seninle :D

muhahaha

[serkalillo]

boooooooooooo BMW the best!!

[leithsy]

EUUUUUUUUUUH, I possede one m3 and the acceleration does not seem ordinary, as though after the second gear, the routes' is inclined downwards... or the car isnt stock !

[Scoooter12]

is that supercharged?

[vanjkos]

Are you serious or???

[CanGuldas]

Lol, that's standard xD

If it's supercharged, it will go waaay much faster :F

[xMarchx31stx]

you'd be able to here the whine of a supercharger haha did you hear any whine? and no turbo either

[criccieth3]

amzing around 180 mph out of a 3.3 straight 6 one of the best cars ever

[GingBitch76]

iv went faster lol

[alpbt]

downhill

[mercarian7]

That must be one hell of a hill

[kingcock69]

great lovely car nice speed ye ha

[phas3r]

wind noise is minimal even at 280km/h, the engine grunt is clear at that speed. compared to other vids at 250 above its the wind noise that takes over. or is this dyno lol

[cccaan]

:D:D bencede :D

[Pich34]

ohaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[loscapolo]

It looks like you almost managed 290. Not bad!

[zinar5]

like mine sameting no more than 300
