Matt from OG picks up an E46 M3

[yhp2009]

Which is sound primarily. High redline next. We know it wasn’t for the torque lol

Isnt there any difference in throttle feel NA vs turbo? And the many other small things that make the e92 analog in comparison

Sure, but E92m just feels like a lazier version of the e46m to me. One huge upside of the e9X is the sound. Steeeing feel of e92 isn’t much to talk about either. So not sure what other analog feel it has going for it.

Compared to the EPS in the F8X, the e9X has air cooled 911 steering 🤪

I’m not a huge fan of the e9X, but it’s the last real M car for sure. Instant throttle response, high revs, sufficient chassis and steering feel, rwd, NA, manual trans exists. It does feel a bit like a lazier (but faster) e46 M3, but it’s still speaking the right language.

… and, yes, it sounds great.

There's also some need to differentiate sound in the car from sound outside the car. Bone stock, the car sounds pretty great inside the car-- it's only outside the car that the chainsaw happens.

for the most part yes. I drove mine bone stock for ~7 years, and I could definitely hear the midrange rasp. However at the top it sounded great inside the car.

You have an e46 m3 that was compromised by mendacious emission standards.

Try putting it in its original config.

[tnord]

The cats will not be coming out of my car under any circumstances, nor should they be removed from anybody else's.

[Tbonem3]

What are you talking about?

Tbone upping his vocab game lately

[Tbonem3]

It has actually slipped since my 20s

The T stands for Thesaurus, don’t you know?

Edit:
Or twat, depending on how close e-buddies you are with him 😂

[Tbonem3]

Or tactless

Still waiting for tnord to clarify if he really believes the E46 M3 was first sold without any cats.

Touché

I watched a lot of his older videos like the 1m build and can normally deal with his negativity/OCD, but him reviewing the E46 m3 is just so grating. It's great for him to buy any car he wants and build it to spec, but have some gratefulness to your life rather than complaining. I get stock is not ideal, but definetly not as bad as he was claiming to be.

a lot of people here like to give him a pass on his personality because he has OCD.

but really it's probably his narcissism that rubs people the wrong way

On a positive note, Matt seems to not accept subpar, to a very extensive extent. I can greatly appreciate that type of personality, however I also can’t watch his personality on screen. It is in deed cringe
