Post E9X M3 Archives [Press/Media/Advertisements/Reviews]

Preface:
It's now been over a decade since the E9X M3 first entered into production.
From it's pre-release, concept, unveiling/debut, to it's first impressions and tests, the E9X M3 proved to be outstanding and despite increased competition, remained as the overall benchmark of its time.
No doubt that this generation M3 will remain special in our hearts and in BMW's historical timeline for a variety of reasons that have been much discussed (last NA BMW, last NA M-car, last M3 coupé, last M3 to be officially campaigned in motorsports, etc.)

With the increasingly fast pace of the internet, it's very easy for old content to be buried into oblivion and forgotten.
This thread will serve to keep relevant material available and accessible for posterity.
Most of the material is from Official BMW sources, as well as content from well-known/established media outlets.
I'm limiting the use of "amateur" and aftermarket content except where in certain instances, they truly contribute to our collective memory and the portfolio of the fourth-generation M3.

I have done my best to arrange this in a logical fashion but be warned that what follows will be very content heavy.
Fellow members are encouraged to contribute but please stick with official or established sources.

Without further ado, follow me down a trip down memory lane and enjoy.

Timeless Quotes:

Quote:
Top Gear S10E10 - Jeremy Clarkson:
M3 drivers have no friends.
Quote:
Car & Driver - Tony Quiroga:
Every other manufacturer should give up on building their own cars and just make M3s instead.
Quote:
Top Gear S16E05 - Jeremy Clarkson:
One of the things we've learned over the years on this show is, if you want a small fast saloon car, you have to buy a BMW M3. I mean you can buy, if you want to a fast Mercedes or fast Audi, that's like going out and buying a playStation war game that isn't "Call of Duty"! The M3 is the best and that's the end of it...This [the M3] is the best car, and always will be, and there's no point in ever thinking otherwise.
Quote:
Motor Trend - Arthur St. Antoine:
If you put an F1 car and a premium sedan in a blender, the M3 would be the cocktail that pours out. Mmmm, nothing else like it. A toast then: To the BMW M3, the greatest all-around car in the world.
Quote:
Top Gear - Worst Car in the History of the World:
Jeremy Clarkson:...it [the M3] is pretty much perfect. It's really civilised and quiet, and normal and brilliant, and then you can drive it like a complete hooligan.
Jeremy Clarkson: In almost every other performance car you drive these days, the noise you hear is the exhaust.
James May: Yeah.
Clarkson: Listen to this.
BMW M3: (ROARING)
Clarkson: That noise is coming from the front, that's induction noise.
May: Yeah, it is. The noise of an engine working, which is quite nice.
Clarkson: Why don't I have one of these cars?
Quote:
Automobile Magazine - Ezra Dyer:
...car magazines generally regard the M3 the same way a four-year-old regards Santa Claus.
Quote:
Top Gear S12E05 - Jeremy Clarkson:
In the past you had to be a cock to buy one, now though, you're a cock if you don't.

This is great. And I love the quotes at the end, especially the ones from Clarkson. But you missed the best one: "M3 drivers have no friends."

Yes of course.

I actually contemplated about that quote last night and decided to leave it out.
Now, looking at my post again, I think you're right, it's one of those golden quotes we will all remember
I've included it in the OP now.

Great video collection. Thanks for posting!

I think that all levels of current BMW management should all be forced to watch the first video over and over again....so they can really understand (or remember) what M is supposed to stand for. The separate M division focused on the right things...the overall driver's experience in the car...and all the other things that made these cars special. Now it seems the bean counters and the marketing department is running the show...and sadly as a result the M brand has been diluted. I hope the company can figure it out soon. Bring back M GmbH and let the race engineers/enthusiasts build the car they want to drive as opposed to what a focus group in Beverly Hills tells them to build. Don't get me wrong, I think the current M cars are very nice, but as many people have pointed out...something is missing. A lot of little things actually...that add up to the M soul.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I've added some of the all-time favorite Official Wallpapers & Print Ads for the E9x M3.
Some of them may bring back memories

I'm happy to see that quite a few of you have taken the time to really indulge in the material here (takes a lot of patience as it is a heavy thread )

For those who already viewed the videos or want to skip over directly to the Wallpapers, just use the "find" function on your browser and search for "Official Photos, Wallpapers, Print Ads". That should pull the section right up.

07/MAY/2018: Removed one dead link; Added M3 GT walkaround video, which includes technical information from BMW North America employee. Also added M3 GT race car & M3 GT4 wallpapers.

You can find the new additions under "Professional Motorsports/Racing" and "Official Photos, Wallpapers, Print Ads" sections, respectively.
------------------------------------------------------

Almost one full year since this thread was created.

I'm slowly adding more media little by little.

17/MAY/2018: Added links to written reviews from the period of 2007-2013 sourced from well-known magazines.
------------------------------------------------------

**WRITTEN REVIEWS SECTION IS UP!**

Finally got around to compiling various reviews through the entire production run of the E9x M3 and sourcing the links to the reviews.
Obviously, this is not all-inclusive and I will continue to update this thread with new media, links, etc. as promised.

You may find the links to said reviews under the "Written Reviews" section, which is further divided into "First Drives/Short Road Tests", "Long Term Road Tests", and "Comparison Tests" subsections.

Enjoy

Great Thread

I actually can't wait to return to this thread, pull it up and go through my car like a kid on Christmas looking over his brand new bike in aww. But just going through of course and making sure everything checks out.
