How it started? YouTube rewiew videos and photos. It has a perfect design. Who is designer of E92 M3? Joji Nagashima and Chris Bangle (He also designed BMW E60–63–65 and Mercedes W221 etc.) . Joji Nagashima has been granted 22 patents in car design. He also designed E39, E36/7 Z3. Let’s go back to main topic.

Are there any seductive things for me? Yes. What is the seductive things on E92 M3 for me? When engine is started, that sound… That naturally aspirated S65 engine… They are extremely seductive for me. When it started? I’m not sure. When is the end? I hope it never ends. When will I have? I guess, when i become a good english teacher after graduating from university. E92 M3’s production is started at 2007. İt’s continued to 2013. E92 M3 has many limited edition versions; E92 M3 GTS, E92 M3 Lime Rock Park Edition, E92 M3 Frozen Black Edition, E92 M3 Carbon Edition, E92 M3 DTM Champion edition… These are the versions I remember now.

Let me give some more information about E92 M3. It has 4.0 liter, 420HP, 400nm, naturally aspirated V8 engine. The 0–100 accerelation is 4.8 second. İt was presented with 6 gear manual and 7 gear double clutch DKG transmission. Looks like a dangerous animal. İt rotating at 8300 revolutions per minute. Yeah! This is the most seductive thing for me.

Is there any bad things on this car? Unfortunately yes. The brakes are inflating after 3–4 panic brakes. The main bearing, piston conrods and VANOS are must be changed every 100,000 km.

Let’s talk about E92 M3’s most special version: E92 M3 GTS

E92 M3 GTS has a 4.4 liter, 450 HP, 440 nm naturally aspirated engine. It produced only 7 gear DCT transmission. It’s 125 kg less heavy from e92 m3. 30 HP and 40 NM stronger. The 0–100 accerelation is 0.4 seconds shorter. E92 M3 GTS was only 150 units produced. Very special!
