    Harry's Garage E30 M3 Review

    Great overview of the history and design of the M3, and of course a test drive

    Harry speaks lot of bullshit. It seems like he does not know much about these cars.

      He probably knows more than I do. What did he get wrong?

          If you're going to get into that level of detail, you'd best be very comfortable with the material so you don't make many mistakes...

            It's interesting to hear him talk about what it was like to own a M3 when they were brand new. I really like his videos, just a straight forward look at cars without any headache inducing music or editing or hyperbole.

              Wow...tough crowd.

              What exactly did he get so wrong? Sounded about right to me.

                yeah even if there were some slight mistakes (which i didn't pickup, but i'm no M3 nerd) it was quite an enjoyable watch. Nicely put together together video with some nice shots of the car.

                Some of his videos can be a bit boring, but most are ok.

                    awesome video. Harry talks without stuttering. no "uhhs" or "umms" really makes a difference

                      It was a good review, and I'm always happy to see fresh E30 content on the interwebs. I thought he would have mentioned something about the skyrocketing M3 values, and he didn't know what the power window lock-out button was for on the center console. Not sure if he knew that the 'check' light blinks on all E30's until you step on the brake pedal after starting. He said that a passenger can't fiddle with the OBC buttons due to the arrangement of the controls towards the driver, but they very easily can. Minor stuff.

                      He does know a lot more about M3's than I do, but then I just ain't that into 'em, so that's not hard to do.

                        He hasn't owned an E30 in what seems like quite a while, and it sounds like he has only ever owned an M3. The fact that doesn't know and/or remember each and every last detail of every model doesn't make him entirely wrong, or unknowledgeable, and certainly doesn't validate the accusation that he "speaks a lot of bullshit."

                        As for the OBC comment, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that literally. Obviously the passenger is physically able to reach the controls, but they're oriented to the driver.

                        Enjoy the video for what it is and quit nitpicking. This post isn't entirely directed at you, just to be clear.

                          Great video. Love hearing about how these cars were when they were new. Those who are nit picking either don't listen close enough or can't figure out that he's an old guy talking about a car he had 30 years ago so of course he's not going to remember what the fucking window circuit breaker button is.

                          Thanks OP!
