New 2021 BMW M3 Driven! Game over AMG and Audi!?
511,844
Published 2021-03-10
The grille, it probably hurts those who don’t like it more, because this is the Flagship of #BMWM, an undeniable fact when you look at its history! But I’ve had quite the different run up to driving this car. I got to see it before the launch, and thus looked at it with fresh eyes and no outside opinions. And for me as a big AMG fan, the more aggressive look appealed to me. It reminded me of the old 328, the modern 328 hommage, or the epic CSL Hommage concept.
Back then that #W M3 was in Green, then I got to see a stealthy matte grey when I visited the M Town set to film the ad for the performance wheels, this made me more of a believer. The M3 touring I saw in secret finished it off!!
And finally today, the big drive. I’ve already driven both the M4 and this M3, and as a spoiler I can tell you, they’ve both smashed my expectations to pieces!
M have worked hard on the new M3, but it gets lost in the controversial grille, and the similar performance on paper: not to mention the X3m not helping with it’s lacklustre introduction using the same engine.
But looking inside as we will today, everything is from scratch. New engine, 8 speed ZF gearbox, suspension, exhaust system, rigidity measure... Tonnes has been done to make these cars as good as they are, l no stone left unturned, so where on paper performance seems similar it’s the drive that really shows us more! Today we’re going to do a deep dive and check out every detail and then burn some rubber M Town style in the new M3 comp!
In this first look we go over:
- M3 Body vs the standard 3 series
- The design details
- Engine internals
- Turbos, crankshaft, 3d printing
- Standard M3 Manual vs Competition and AWD M XDrive M3
- The exhaust system - pipes, OPF, vales
- New M3 exhaust sound
- M performance exhaust
- All M3/4 Wheel options
- Tyre size changes
- Suspension
- Cooling and aerodynamics
- Full performance review
- Stiffening and rigidity

24hours of editing, and all you say is I got the Isle of Man Green colour name wrong?! 😂🤦🏻♂️ Anyway, love the car, yes it’s not as emotional as the older generation but for a BMW fan this is the car you hoped it would be. And I’m massively biased to the C63! 👌🏽
-
Not enough people appreciate how Mr AMG creates such unbiased and insightful reviews
-
RBR does real car review.. really appreciate the effort he puts in getting all the technical detail combined with CG.. great work!
-
This channel is taking reviews to the next level! Keep up the great work Raz, I’m a big fan of the special effects, must be a ball ache to edit!
-
Saw the photos of the grill, I covered my eyes. Dropped in to a BMW dealership today, saw the M4 in frosted grey and man, it really does work for me.
-
I'm an old time BMW admirer & the way you reviewed this, makes me even more...thanks!
-
Thank you for being completely honest and unbiased with your review of the entirety of the car. I think you are the first reviewer to actually go see this new M3/4 in person before viewing it online, which presents an unbiased opinion on it going in...
-
Best car reviewer on YouTube, absolutely love your videos and always enjoy when you add a new upload. Should be at 1Mil subs already tbh, thank you for all the great reviews!!
-
Love the special effect. Being able to see different models and looks for reference is awesome.
-
Probably the most informative review I’ve seen on the G80 so far - thanks!
-
I think I'm in love with that car already! The customizability in both setup and spec, the bold design, the great interior with carbon and leather, wonderful 6-cylinder soundtrack and response, one day, one day........ To all G80 M3 buyers, please, please, please get Isle of Man Green!!! It makes this car, so damn sexy and gorgeous!
-
Another great review. Setting aside the casual delivery and brilliance of Chris Harris reviews RBR is hands down #1. What makes the the channel so good. Unbiased, Informative and High Quality. Throw in a big dose of passion for automotive and total respect for all those commenting and it all equals 1st place in my book. Total Class Act!
-
As always a fantastic review Raz. One of the best and most underrated in the game. Keep up the great work!
-
Editing is flawless . The changes make the cars look actually there. Wow
-
Great video Raz, god I love the Touring render you showed!! Perfect car!
-
Honestly, the best editing on car reviews with great content. How do you do the transitions between cars and the lay overs of the suspension, motors, etc?! Amazing man. Pleases keep up the reviews. Killer content and information.
-
Always appreciate your opinion, honesty and expert reviews!
-
I love his respect for the brand...clearly he’s an amg guy but a true car lover non the less. Shows an appreciation for everything that is petrol head art! Unlike the car elitist who throw a temper tantrum over every sign of change
-
Lol that intro was great 😂😂. You don't see that on other car channels. Thanks for the review!
-
The editing in your videos is second to none then add the information you give us and you're talking about an ELITE car reviewer. Congrats
