BMW M Documentary

Didn't find shit. Those cars didn't even sell much.

I think it lacks the carbon roof, but apart from that it is a true M.

And now they will lose their soul forever when all cars become electric. What a boring future for car enthusiasts, especially ones like myself who will never be able to drive a car.

I think it's a soulless car that just goes fast

I just sold my 95' E36 I regret selling it... :(

Iwan Horchner holy shit the e36 was part of the ugly bimmer gen! What about the e30!!!

It starts to grow on you that it starts to become an option and when its time to decide, you just cant.

I have an e90 m3. It's pretty awesome it's just my fiance can't drive 6mt. I'm thinking of selling it.

Shaun Masters She could learn, not that difficult, but if she doesn't care to then she probably shouldn't be driving it anyway. I wouldn't share my E92 with anyone, it's just too personal and not to be the daily driver, it's too special for that IMO...if I was wealthy I suppose that would be another thing.

Do you still have your M3?

I’m sure BMW engineers would like to. But the European emission standards are too strict. I wish they would remake the 5.0 V10, except fix all the reliability issues it had.

"Rest in Peace: Saying Goodbye to the Tired and Overused BMW No Turn Signal Joke.

not the same engine, suspension wise yes and also some interior badging and styling. Dont hold me to this though, this is what I've noticed after owning 4 BMWs.

The "M sports" are created inside the BMW factory, could even be Mexican. It's just a name they use. A true M car comes from one place, one building.

How long did you stay with the car?

Hi I actually sold the car after a year. The car was great but the smg transmission is crap. Did not like at all the arg transmission. I have a Maserati gran turismo now. I went from the night to the day. Love the engine sound the transmission is smooth ....

@@ariam0357 Oh that's a great car too

Agreed. Just like Mercedes-Benz AMG.

Hi, BMW is now run by a new generation of the Quandt Family! These younger family members, are more interested in selling large numbers of each particular car, than in the original DNA makeup of BMW's / ///M's Heritage. BMW was Rescued by Herbert Quandt in 1959! At BMW Liquidation Meeting! Herbert owned 10% of Daimler Benz, Daimler wanted to windup BMW, so they could gain access to BMW's Factories and labor force. But Quandt also owned stock in the Failing BMW Brand. Quandt concluded that BMW was a better fit for his families longterm financial goals, as BMW were under capitalised/valued, so he could quiet easily gain control of the Bavarian company. He realised to gain control of Daimler Benz, the figures just weren't financially sound, given Mercedes's financial strength, and share price at the time. So he purchased BMW, then injected initially $1 million, he continued to invest large sums into BMW's future, both in Technology, New Models and in Engineering until his death in June 1982. It must be added, he obtained a guarantee from BMW's Board of Management, of "no interference" to his restructuring and modernising of the companies facilities. So currently the young Quandt's (his children) now own about 48% of BMW! Their mother Johanna, followed her husbands plan for BMW's expansion and model releases with advanced electronics and cutting edge technologies.....The last models to 100% comply with Herbert's plans, were the E38, E39 and the E46 model BMW's. The E60, E65/66 and the E90's models were say 70% inline with his dictates. The only things written in Stone at BMW are the "Twin Kidney Grills" and the "Hofmeister Kink" in the rear quarter window. These things are sacred cows at BMW! Herbert Quandt was Legally Blind, and would feel his way around each new design. BMW had been considering removing the Kidney Grills, (to save money) to which Quandt said "NO" as these will identify a BMW from all the other cars on the roadway. There is much more to be said, but this younger generation of Quandt's, are mainly interested in dividend profits. Where once the exhaust note of any BMW was important, we now have an ///M3/4 that sound pathetic....Especially when we recall the musical symphony of the E46 ///M3 under full power, or the E39 ///M5 V8 wailing it's way down a road at 90% throttle. I find it incredulous, that a Mercedes Benz V8, either standard or AMG Enhanced, sound vastly superior to any BMW, Let alone an ///M.......How Times Have Changed. My last BMW ///M BMW was an E46 M3, and my last BMW was an E60 550i. The E60 didn't feel as sturdy as my E46, so I now own Mercedes cars. I love the BMW story, but a story cannot makeup for ordinary cars. They say the ///M2 is the New ///M3....Unfortunately I am in my late 60's, and cannot take the harsh ride of a short wheelbase car any longer. So BMW lost my business, though the Chinese Market will more than make up for a few malcontents like me. Regards.

Good points but it's a different world. At one time BMW was against turbo engines too but now most of their cars feature turbos to improve performance and fuel economy. The way I see the newest cars differing from the past is reliability. BMW wants to pursue those buyers who will buy new cars every 2-3 years. Therefore they've neglected ease of repair and reliability. And currently they've even made it such that the free maintenance and service doesn't transfer when the cars are sold under warranty but used. It all makes for more profit. As for moving to MB boats, that just really shows that your tastes have changed as you've gotten older. I've test driven more than a few MBs and I can't stand them.

Mark Law my vlood is bmvv

Na f90

F82 m4 my number 1

Oh boy... Ever wondered how high the M engines rev? Do you know that mass multiplies by square with more revs? In order to reduce vibrations in the crankshaft they had to make the crankshaft as short as possible, which results in small bearing faces.

@@fifficus so you are admitting that it is a flat out failure in engineering?

@@pcicraftsman8472 No. Engineering is great. You cannot make the friction partners lasting longer. It's limited by physics. Instead you would have to inform customers to change the rod bearing shells every 100.000 km. If BMW did so, no one would buy their M cars anymore. So they did not. People needed to know by theirselves.

Lemme school this boy if you bitch about rod bearing replace it means you can’t afford it homie that’s just it !

onder kulekci your ignorant. But i’ll lets use your dumbass logic against you. I pay “X” amount for a luxury sports car from a german motorsports company. How much of “X” was used to pay for embarrassment and headache. If your answer is zero then you are correct. I pay for a car i want a car that fukin works from the factory. Not some piece of bavarian shit.

+g4rr377 The M2 is on the way :)

+g4rr377 i dont get it why the m4 is not 4doors and the m3 classical coupe.

+g4rr377 dude you are so right M 3 is a legacy it cant be replaced by M 4

+g4rr377 but M4 is actually M3 they have a lot in common the old M3 before this new series has a lot i common with M4

David Every i meant more cos the m3 was the cool coupe, geuss that mantel is going to get passed down to the m2 now

Me too

I wasn't aware of that but I'm old fashion and love rear drive coupled to a manual.

Esp off rwd

@@klimee4699 m2 is still rear wheel drive as is the m4

Captain Obvious.. I want to thank you so much for your detailed insight..

well it its from 15 and m8 is crap haha

It's called history bud.

M Power >>> AMG

+Yussnan84 no its M

+SweetsProductions they do tho

proof Anthony Holliday

no they do not, they only come in auto tragics, and Mercedes is known for having some of the worse DCTs in the game.
