Thanks for watching!

[MrRudi]

unpopular opinion: the grill is actually pretty sick

[bradleyboxill]

I would get in so much trouble if I owned this car.

[DailyMotor]

If BMW had to screw up anything with the M3, I'm glad it's the grille. What an excellent driving car, and that engine is a huge step up from the previous model. Great take!

[bassandtrebleclef]

We've reached pricing on cars where even for this level of performance, the math doesn't make sense. Great review as always!!

[Garage]

"the grills not that bad", "I don't mind the grill" these are not phrases I should be hearing about a 60k+ car LMAO

[vojtechbatelka]

14:30 omg I have never seen this many wheels on a truck

[bottlesofchris]

The interiors do it for me. Such beautiful color combos and I love the sport seats but I hate the grill. I would need this to depreciate into the pits to ever consider it

[forzanerazzurri]

Thank you, finally someone who showed the rear seats and the trunk

[CryptoJoeTrading]

Sounds great too... the engine is just non stop torque much better than previous gen's engine. Great video might want to heat up the tires a bit before taking the on-ramps at 90 lol

[saurabh]

i like how sturdy M cars look from inside

[saphireg]

Best video on the m3 so far, cannot wait for mine to arrive!

[toyotavenzaguy]

I love the new M3! I like the design on that grille and the design on this car. great review dude!

[kristians]

I might be one of the few people that likes the grille. Also the performance is impressive and bonus points to BMW for still having a manual.

[kristians]

Maybe Acura should come out with a TLX Type R with 500hp to compete with this

[LouBuckzz]

Hated the grill through video, saw it in person for the first time and it looks fire 😂😂

[ryanfountain]

That door sounded so sweet when it closed! Sounded crisp like a g wagon door.

[parthchaudhary]

That speed around that ramp was quite shocking, loving this car more than M5 competition

[kodysapp]

10 minute mark... That speed into the on-ramp is absolutely bonkers. what a wicked car

[Jmapp]

I think people hate the grill because they’ve kinda been told to hate the grill, I’ve seen the videos too but honestly it doesn’t look that bad at all. Beautiful automobile.

[samyadav]

Love the M3 competition!! The white interior is pretty different! But looks amazing!
