A few weeks ago I tested 2 of BMW’s finest in a showdown head to head at one of the finest circuits in Wales. Which one drives better, which one is faster, which one drifts best? This was a lot of fun!

This was so much fun. Which BMW unicorn would you drive home? 👇
Subscribed. The M3 for looks, the M4 for performance.
Happy to find your channel Sir 🙌🏽 Respect to my hero
As the owner of an e92 m3 this video makes me happy
Gotta do a Porsche comparison like this next time
Great video. Had me thoroughly fixated throughout the running. Earned a sub, keep it up.
😊😊 good to see the Stig with cars ❤️
E9x M3 and E87 1M 🐐

and the troll add's music in a car video while driving OMG!!! can someone get more stupid?
Yeah I knew it would happen … like the big grill better now … the old looks 'too small' …
I think the E92 M3 will be a classic, but am unsure of the M4. I have owned the base model of both vehicles
V8 e90 every single time.
of course e92. no question
New subscriber here, I'm so happy to discover the Stig has his own channel! So if the Stig had to pick a favorite generation of M3, which would it be??
Confronto inutile una è aspirata l'altra è turbo.
2 incredibly hideous and disgusting BMWs. Epic video though 👌
The track looked very narrow, with the problems that Nigel Mansell pointed out his generation had: no run off and straight into barriers which this didn’t even have, for a massive accident causing injuries.
The high speed shots from inside the car hitting a curb didn’t require mentioned much imagination as to what would happen if you did exit the narrow track: it would barrel roll when it went over the grass sideways.
I saw the MrJWW video with the head of the M4 programme in April 2022 on the M4 CSL and the car when it was released M4 CSL:
It has carbon ceramic brakes which are probably about 20Kg per corner lighter than steel brakes and special light weight wheels.
It has the Titanium exhaust mentioned for saving weight and I think the bonnet and roof were carbon fibre.
The M2 which everyone seems to have been in in the last 2-4 weeks is a M4 under the skin with the same engine but is a heavy car: 230Kg heavier than the 2016 introduction of it.
I don’t like the CSL cars although this has proper weight saving with those things mentioned:
Titanium exhaust
Magnesium allow wheels and carbon ceramic brakes.
Taking sound insulation out and seats is BS. As is special thin glass.
Were is the e46 m3 csl ?
E92
V8 💪
That E92 4.4 liter….Uhh they don't make them like they used to…
Excellent description of how the E92 was behaving, so many cannot verbalise the feeling and sensation off driving a well set up car and come up with some statements with no detail such as ‘amazing front end bite’ but then don’t tell you how that changes with weight transfer. Stumbled across your channel, keep them coming and please don’t focus on new cars they are quite dull in my opinion, more retro car comparisons would be great. 111R vs 4C, Sapphire Cosworth vs Impreza Turbo 2000, 996 Carrera 2 vs 996 C4S, E46 M3 CSL vs F80/82 M3/M4, Fiat Coupe Turbo 20v vs Alfa GTV V6 3.0, Mk1 Mx5 1.6 (the import Eunos model with lsd) vs 205 gti 1.6 etc etc
Both such special cars, great driving and content. Keep up the good work!
I'll take a 1995 318ti over the ugly nasty disgusting M4. Get that th8ng away from our eyes. It burns!
Great video! Would be cool to see you test other youtubers cars on the track and give your honest feedback. Also the e92 made me think of the superchargerd one that was driven at the top gear festival in South Africa
Nothing can beat a NA
Phenomenal! I really like that E92.
i’ll take the e92 comp all day….wont ever be another
Both are unreliable money pits, avoid.
This channel deserve a million subscribers.
When you're circuit racing with such cars and then you find the rollcage a disatvantage. No that is a very poor excuse.
Can't believe I had to go looking for this channel after I spotted you in a vid with someone else. What the hell's wrong with YouTubes algorithm all the tripe it recommends me, and it missed The bloody Stig. Keep on sending it Ben, been a fan for a while now.
Downsizing – the introduction of turbocharging, less displacement, and often direct injection – , such as in the F82 and now in this G82, was the result of mad hatter-EU emission tests. Porsche has noted this phenomenal BS, and went back to “rightsizing” in their 718 GTS. Also, the fantastic double clutch-transmissions aren’t made to handle the ludicrous – and difficult to drive -, torque of downsizing engines, in this case 650 to 440 Nm. So, E92 all day ❤
The CSL used to have Cup 2 Tires or Cup 2R
The E39 M5 was the top dog
Amazing video… The quality is exceptional
For me, it's the M4 CSL.
That GTS is beautiful example, must be really looked after, I think in few years those will bring double the current price for sure
Nice to have a YouTuber that is actually articulate.
It's twice as big as the m3 I swear
The E92 was the first generation when M cars lost their souls to technology. It because more and more soulless and numb since then. It seems the reviewer here never really connected to that much-loved soul and hence why he preferred the E92 over the e46 and how praises these newer numb, soulless tech gadgets of machines.
I understand now why the Stig was kept silent. His skills as a presenter for sure outshine the other 3. We need more of this quality content. Great job Ben
For a moment I thought the orange car was the new M2.
man started roasting E46, Ima head out.
