Watch Four Generations Of BMW M3 Battle It Out On One Runway

This drag race brings together an E30 M3 with an E46 CSL, an E92 GTS and the new F80 CS

What we have here are four generations of the BMW M3 dynasty in one place. That’s exciting enough as it is, but to make this little family reunion that little bit more interesting, each of them is special in some way.

The E30 is a Roberto Ravaglia edition - named after one of the most successful touring car drivers of all time. The E46? That’s an M3 CSL, still considered by many to be the high point of the M3 story. The E92 is the rare and reassuringly expensive GTS, and finally, the F80 is the very same M3 CS we had on test a few weeks ago.

Which of these BMW M3s would you want to drive home?
Which of these BMW M3s would you want to drive home?

It’s not exactly hard to predict the result - the cars finish in the order you’d expect. But what might come as a surprise is the distances between each. Press play and you’ll see what we mean.

At 1:40 “463 liter straight six”. I guess it probably has 3 horsepower😂

The fact that they’re not in chronological order bugs me

I actually really like these multi-generation drag races.

the orange E92 GTS is the big sexy by far. the E30 is so much fun to drive, (my first bimmer 318is) , but obviously gonna get wrecked, the E46 M3 is the lowest of them all and literally drives like its on rails (could prob beat them all on a tight curvey course) but the F80…dayum. No way can a V8 keep up with a 453 hp twin turbo straight six off the line. But in the end I’d take the Big Sexy. Looks cooler.
