Nice review. He absolutely smoked that M3. The E92 sounds soooo good though.
Imagine if he had been on Cup 2’s and had the full buckets to not have to brace himself. Another second at least if not more. |

E92 M3 GTS has to be the best modern M car ever made, proper special bit of kit. |

That E92 GTS is a legend!
Hot take, I'd put it and the E90 CRT up there with the E46 CSL.

One sounds good, one sounds like garbage.
One is a CS and a questionable L (or an actual L depending on who you ask) and one is a GTS which are not the same lol. TBH, this isn't a fair comparison.

Just saying a CSL should be compared to a CSL. Better comp would have been M3 GTS vs. M4 GTS. IMHO of course.

Nice comparison. I'm going to bet that if the M4 was also on sport cup 2 tires, it'd be even quicker than that M3 than it already is. I'd take the M3 if I was doing a lot of track days, but I'd hate to drive it daily.

Excellent review. Such a good reviewer, let alone driver. And to think you never go to hear his views or voice on Top Gear!

This video makes me miss my E92 6MT M3. That was a fun "special" feeling car when I had one.

Great review and a fun video to watch. I like his early description of the CSL.
