E93 BMW M3 Review and Comparison to my F80 M3 (both 6 speed manual)

I had a chance to drive my friend's Convertible (E93) 2008 BMW M3 with a 6 speed manual transmission. Barely over 20K miles on the odometer. High raving V8, rear wheel drive, wind in my hair (or hat)...what an experience! I hope you enjoy this quick clip.

One of the few people on youtube that uses good camera angles, when driving.

Best YT video on this car - we need more e93 vids

Ofcourse the E chassis code M3 is one of its kind. The sound is absolutely amazing. And especially the one of its kind “V8” motor that the Germans put in that generation M3. In 2008 this car was probably at its highest peak. Great video! And driving clips!

Have this exact car and agree with all comments - we got ours as a weekend cruiser that we can put two car seats in. The exhaust, which is stock, sounds great. The kids love it. We have the DCT which is fun, sounds nuts on downshifts, but is not an MT. The upside is my dad can drive it without making everyone nauseous. The handling is good. It's not leaps and bounds better than our E9? wagon, which is a 6MT, and is also really fun to drive.

That's exactly why I bought a E93, I never turn my stereo on... Upgraded Supersprint Exhaust and it simply sings...

I have jus discovered your channel. Great reviews, comparos and mods suggestions (your F80 mostly). Keep doing this! Thank you.

Love your videos Tommy and was keen to know what your thoughts were having recently acquired a 2009 E93 M3 😜!

I'm heavily considering getting an E93. Thoughts on the limited edition 500?

[gregoryfuller]

Ok - what was done to that exhaust? Did your buddy do the 2 or 4 pipe mod on the stock system, or is it aftermarket?
I ask because it is total rice crispies - snap, crackle and pop - way more than my current stock e92M3. I realize that it is a convertable and you can naturally hear more, but something HAS to have been done to it. And I want it. Sounds glorious.
I plan on modding mine this winter, and want to make sure I do it right. Thanks.

Hey how did you get a camera in that angle? Did you just mount it to the back side window?

[mattp]

Tommy. Does he have an interest in selling it ? I am not far.

Tommy please tell me how is the wind in the cabin? Is it harsh or decent?

[barton]

It's strange to me that people say you cant track a convertible. e93 is very stiff. Might not be as stiff as e92 but it is not that bad! Some more weight as well but for experience, the convertible wins easily any day. Well not on a rainy day. ;)
