MotorSport Magazine was in attendance with us at the 40 Years of M Event at the Nurburgring, where BMW revealed the BMW M6 Gran Coupe and BMW M3 DTM Champion Edition.

Available for us to drive was an assortment of modern and classic BMW M models and MotorSport Magazine took the opportunity to put together a series of back to back video/sound clips of the E92 M3 GTS, E90 M3 CRT, E46 M3 CSL, and the 1M Coupe.

Feature video highlighting some activities from the 40 Years of BMW M Event:

PrimoM3 · 12-02-2012, 02:09 AM

Epic music.

Did the standard M3 have the M Performance exhaust? It sounded a bit louder than stock...

mashimarho · 12-02-2012, 10:37 AM

Wow.
Makes me wish I opted for an M.
I'm glad we can still rep our n54/n55!

CanAutM3 · 12-02-2012, 10:38 AM

The turbo whoosh leaves me a bit blasé...

The NA engines however

E90MCF · 12-02-2012, 10:39 AM

OMG

E46 M3 CSL FTMFW!!!

Euro_M_Driver · 12-02-2012, 10:40 AM

I like the CSL and the CRT the best

burakkose · 12-02-2012, 10:40 AM

the crt and csl = sex

frankzlin79 · 12-02-2012, 10:49 AM

Nice video but I think the edits of clips was way too short. They were like 1 second each...not really enough time to really hear the engine/exhaust.

Adj5633 · 12-02-2012, 10:59 AM

Without a doubt, the e46 csl takes it for me

S65NAPWR · 12-02-2012, 11:07 AM

awesome!

Dovetonsils · 12-02-2012, 11:08 AM

Nice video

TheBingoBalls · 12-02-2012, 11:15 AM

The CSL...WOW it's just got that raw sound to it, all machine!

Peahi · 12-02-2012, 11:21 AM

Beastly sounds! M power all the way. I'm glad to have one!

flzrider · 12-02-2012, 11:32 AM

Love the CSL rasp. I never understood why people wanted to eliminate the rasp sound. I, personally, love it.

+1.
CSL and CRT are the winner!

spiike32 · 12-02-2012, 11:36 AM

+1 CSL. Sounds great.

Longboarder · 12-02-2012, 11:38 AM

wow that was like getting a teaser of a symphony...now i wanna see the entire show

bimmerjph · 12-02-2012, 11:39 AM

The CSL is without a doubt the best sounding 6 cylinder ever made. And it is in my top 5 best sounding cars ever list.

The 1M was just out classed by everything. That is probably the first and only time that has ever been said. Lol

tha_good_life · 12-02-2012, 12:05 PM

WOW, music to my ears!

mPlasticDesign · 12-02-2012, 12:13 PM

CRT is my favorite! Want one so bad, the whole package is perfect!

Phanto///M · 12-02-2012, 12:14 PM

Dream stable of cars. I love my E92 but i would trade it in for the CSL or the GTS. Too bad the CRT isnt coming to America...

Tåst · 12-02-2012, 12:15 PM

Damm..high revving naturally aspirated I6, V8 engine sound is pretty amazing

Only bad thing is that they are last naturally aspirated Bmw.

If you wan´t E46 M3 Csl special sound on you M3, just bougth Evolve-r and csl airbox.
