Joe, are you sticking with your RWD or moving across to AWD? The RWD is still very accomplished and in most real world situations is still probably more than capable. Is it so good you would change?

Awesome review and very credible because you own the RWD version! I love that Joe's reviews provide the right input for the enthusiast who enjoys spirited driving. Great work! 👍

Joe is on fire🔥🔥, his driving skill is good as well💯👌🏾

Great review confirming my expectations of the xDrive version. Can’t wait to pick mine up in a couple of months :)

Excellent video! Is the 0-60 mph with of without one foot roll out set up on your performance meter?

Haha cheers man, loved this one 👌

Can't say I love it but I certainly don't think it's as bad as a lot if people make out. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks it looks decent! 👍

I think it will grow on most people. BMWs for the last 20 years have been too modern then they grow in us all.

so do it look's modern had to change from the old design well done bmw i have had all the m3 /m4s bad time bmw moved on

Likewise, it's an m car , it must be controversial!!

As am I! I love the shake up

The Audi and Mercedes makes you spend 24 hours a day just looking for an airconditioner button. So BMW is user-friendly, I like it that way.

Definitely agree. The material quality of the BMW is also next level after comparing it by myself.

bmws are just so good at being a great driving car

Too bad the 23 models have this huge connecting screen like Mercedes…

​@@verde629 im picking up mine tomorrow, and am looking forward to the new screen. all screens are getting bigger and brighter, not the other way around!

Cheers Andrew!

Have a '21 M340i xDrive, too. Maybe an M3/M3C in the future

Agreed with Porsche ;-)

Only Porsche.

Would add steering and brake feel to the mix; if they’re getting close to Porsche, then BMW is in good company; but the front fascia remains the big ugly IMO

Honda

How about Alpina? 😜🍻

We are gathered here homie

Thanks for watching! (Great initials too!)

in a road of 100 meters is almost 2 cars diference! xD

Cheers man! Can't wait to share my video on the M240i either 😉🎬

Me too!

They did it twice. For E34 and E60 series.

Now i have the M3 Competition rwd, i love it. Before i had the G82 and hopefully i will get the touring, it will be a keeper for sue!

@@szokuspokus we're talking about now not the old models

It’s better in this case. Beautiful car!

@@OnTheRailwayOfficial still too big tho for british roads

@@RiperSnifle it’s not even that big lmao it’s like the standard size nowerdays.

Actually the steering feel and the acceleration figures of the xdrive M3 is told to be less exciting compared to the rwd version plus you are not able to use the rwd with dsc on i believe as you can on the RWD version.

couldn't have said it better myself. The xdrive with the ability to turn off the awd is the best of both worlds. They did a great job with the xdrive system making it feel rwd as well (ie no audi quartto feel).

@@berkearall8563 respectfully disagree. The acceleration in the awd is def more brutal and faster. Steering feel is basically the same as well. Good point on the RWD only in dsc tho but with the xdrive you can do awd sport plus mode that lets you have some play in the back and you do have the 10 stage traction control with dsc off for more shenanigans. Think the average to really good drivers would have more fun with the xdrive and you would only notice the only RWD car when you are fishtailing when you don't want to or when in a ditch.

@@js002003 i agree with you on the daily drivers, for the purists like me 😄 i went for the rwd m4 and m3 i own both g80-82 and also driven my friend’s xdrive m4 dozen times it is not for me though. If i’d like to drive an awd car i’d go for the m5, M8 or even RS line-up:)

​@@berkearall8563 Agreed that if you're tracking your car, you might have more fun in the RWD g8x... To me though, if you're a purist and love to track you car, I wouldn't be in any g8x - plenty of better pure sports cars for the money like M2 cs or gt4.....And with the ability to turn off the awd, I honestly dont see a need for the rwd comp (non manual) version (maybe bc the rwd has a bit more nannies than the xdrive has when its in 2wd mode?).... final thought: the way they configured the g8x (big hp/big body/heavy car) I think xdrive with 2wd option is the way to go. gives you all the benefits of the rwd version but lets you better utilize the power than the rwd version... Either way tho, the g8x is a great car in any configuration and much better than my old f80 cs in basically every single way. Edit: Just realized you probably have the manual version in which case I completely understand getting the RWD version. (I completely forgot you can't get the manual in xdrive!)

🤔😂👊

I'm in the middle of deciding between the 2WD and XDrive and I think this has convinced me that the XDrive could be the way to go...

Cheers Dave, I'm actually editing a video comparing this to my RWD back to back, should be live this weekend 🎬👌

Is this colour skyscraper grey the one your ordered?
