I FOUND BMW M HEAVEN! The Greatest M Cars in a Private Paradise

Welcome to BMW M paradise! This is a dream collection of M cars, joined by some special Mercedes and Porsche rarities, tucked away in Toronto, Canada. After touring the private garage of enthusiast's cars, it's time to pick something new for me to drive... let's go!

With thanks to the owner of this amazing collection, and my friend @Drivewithroy for the introduction, we've got a lot to take in here. In two rooms filled with legends, there are plenty of really stand out cars from 3 prominent German brands.

Primarily focusing on the BMWs, and the glory days of the brand, we can walk around the full run from the E82 1M, F87 M2 CS, via every M3 you'd like; E30 Sport Evo, E36 GT, E36 Canadian Edition, E36 Lightweight, E46 CSL, F82 M4 GTS, and even the collection of 6ers and 7ers; E24 M6, E28 M5, E34 M5, E39 M5 and so on. When it comes to dream M cars, you really cannot do better than this! Even notable absentees like the E92 M3 GTS are only stored elsewhere.

However, that's not all because on a Porsche front we can also check out the 991.2 GT3 Touring, 997.2 GT3 RS, 993 RS, 964 RS, and 993 Turbo. Then for Mercedes we've got an SLS AMG, 560 SEL, 500 SEC, and we haven't yet talked about the BMW Z8.

After a full look, it's time to go out for a drive and a car of particular interest to me to experience is the E46 M3 CSL - hence my choice! With Roy taking the wheel of the M2 CS, and the CSL closely in tow, let's go see if this needs to be a future addition at @TheShmuseum!

Thanks for watching, Tim

Hi Tim. If you're already on this side of the pond, we'd love to show you our BMW collection as well at Classic Garage located in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. It'd be an honor to have you here. Thanks for the continuous great work you do in the car community.

As a big BMW M-fan that collection is like heaven! Just missing the the beautifully sounding S85B50 v10 (M5, M6) and its little brother S65B40 v8 (M3)! The S54B32 (M3 E46) and S54B32HP (which is the engine in the M3 CSL) are 3.2 liter engines not 3 liter. Thanks for the video!

I truly think that M6 was one of the most beautiful cars BMWs put out, besides the 70s BMW M-1! Nice collection put together.. The "Clown Shoe" was a peculiar car..

THIS is what my dream garage looks like.

The owner is super nice guy. Has really good taste in cars. He even let me store my E28 M5 project for a bit. Got to drive a few of these beauties. Amazing.

As an owner of a 2004 E46 M3 with the SMG transmission I’m glad you pointed out that in the proper settings it is not as bad as some critics have mentioned. I absolutely have enjoyed mine for all these years and do not regret my choice at all.

Shmee I'm really enjoying all these car collection videos especially yesterdays.

When I lived in Germany I had a '79 320i that was tuned by Zender. What an amazing car that was. Handling and performance PURE! On the way home today from Orlando to Space Coast I was behind a new 840i. Looks really good

Hello Tim, can you do a video of The Patina Collective amazing Benz collection? They are based out of Florida, which is further down your American/Canadian tour. Cheers!

[TwinTurboTwinz]

aww man i was hoping to see a v10 m5 one of their iconic sedans

[OddjobBond]

What an amazing M Car collection! Always wanted a 1M!

[DCPEvo]

What a collection! Interesting omissions from the collection, unless I missed it, E90 M3 and the V10 cars.

“My dad’s e46 M3”
Tim, you need an M in the shmee collection!!

[joechin]

Shmee's in-depth knowledge of cars is mind blowing, i wonder how your brain easily process the colors, specs, models and their different generations. Man you are a legend!..lots of love from Zimbabwe!

My personal favorite ///M car?

A 2011 manual E90 M3 + single-hump (aka no outdated infotainment system) + slick-top (aka no sunroof) + Alpine white exterior + fox red interior.

[Ze-Germanzuk]

Great to see a collector appreciate the golden eras of BMW. The E46 M3 is still the best BMW I've ever driven, including the latest generations M2/3/4

[PyroMotteFullHD]

This is crazy. So much beautiful and exclusive cars on your YouTube Channel!

[jameswillard]

That black M2 CS with the gold wheels is 🔥and proof that they don’t make them like they used to (just 2 years ago!) 😞

[EbNorth]

while you were complaining about the Gearbox I was yelling at you through the tv telling you to turn the Gearbox into it's fast shift mode, , cuz man. glad you did it!

The SMG isn't terrible like many other folks have said. for it's time, it was really good, shifted faster than the 360 Modena during it's time.

also if you lift off the pedal (for a sec) when upshifting the shifts will be butter smooth.

Love it! Thanks for showing us around!
