Watch Four Generations Of BMW M3 Battle It Out On One Runway
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.
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.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Where’s the 321hp E36 M3 Evo? It could’ve battled for 2nd.
To bad there wasn’t a manual E36 EVO. Those are mostly faster than the E46 M3. Don’t know how they compare to a CSL tho.
I’ll take the GTS please. Gotta love the V8 engine. The new one may be a better car but it does lack the carakter of the older cars.
