This is how a video review should be done. Plus ur vehicle hit list is respectable to say the least so ur opinion holds a lot more weight. Excellent job. 👍🏾

I've probably seen every review of the M3/M4 and this is easily the best one. No fluff, no filler, no marketing BS, just the facts that count. I've placed a deposit and can't wait to get my 2023 M3 Comp xDrive, so in the meantime I watch ever single video out there.

The best M3 review I've watched and I've probably watched more than 30 reviews.

Would love to see more videos of you driving with the car - also really appreciate how you kept the review brusque with no bullshit / sugarcoating involved. I’ll be taking delivery of a g82 xdrive soon & this video made me really look forward to getting behind the wheel of one of these beasts!

I’ve watched almost every review. This has to be one of the best. Thanks

Thank you P. Awesome video and channel. Honestly, most KZfaq channels have a bunch of millennials driving these cars once or twice. They are not really journalists. And they rarely get to live with the car. Hearing about living with the car from an adult who owns it is refreshing. You are doing the universe a service! Keep it up!

One of the best real world review!

Great review, and killer spec. Really like the exterior/interior combo.

Outstanding review. Lots of fun. I get my xdrive in the next day or two. It was a long four month wait but I’m looking forward to it. Thanks again.

Cool video, like always! Deep review with lot of information. After watching I actually start thinking about M3 Thank you

Great viid, I appreciate the detail-especially regarding the zf trans

Indeed best M3 review.. waiting for long term review as well.

Great review. Thank you.

Awesome review, glad it came up in my recommendations. More informative than most of big name vloggers.

Excellent review. This got me even more excited to take delivery of my own here in the next month or so since you have so much experience with other high end cars. Easy sub - looking forward to seeing what you do with regard to aftermarket exhaust or even intake options.

I love his facial expression on his face when he hit that gas "Jesus it's a F N monster." Brother that what you pay for. Amazing machine Congrats!

Very succinct review without the empty carbs.

Congrats on the new car, I enjoyed the real world detailed review!

Excellent review, I appreciate I explain the engineering including the Rev range, the ability to handle more torque and so on. Very good job as it seems like you're just speaking off the top of your head great job.

Awesome extremely informative video, thanks Pete!

This thing is beautiful 🤩 like my gosh I love it I need to see how it drive for myself

same, one of best reviews so far!

You do put out great content! Keep up the good work!

I own G82...you made the best review out there, I'm looking forward to watch the gear video. keep it up.

Bro !!! You've just done the best car review I have seen.

Great review/feedback. And great car. Thx!

Nice vid. That colour combo is the best I’ve seen on the G80

so much info...unlike others...👍👍

best m3 review by far dude

Awesome car 👍🏼👍🏼

Cool been waiting to order the x drive

I learned more from this vid than I did at the dealership. Thank you for putting this up! Liked and subbed. Got my M3 comp xdrive black/black/black w carbon package coming in November. Feel like I'm missing out by not getting the M driver package tho :/

Great information and great video

Lucky man! I'd love one.. btw it's been a month, please do an update! Great review.

Unbelievable spec choice love it amn! Awesome review btw!!

Such a nice review, keep it up dude!

Excellent review brotha! - Soom

Interesting perspective and I appreciate your review. Found it hard to disagree with anything you said. Cheers

Excellent review. Liked and subscribed.

One of the best real world onroad reviews of this car. I drove an M3 Xdrive Comp before ordering the '23 M2 and completely agree. I can only compare it to my 992 4S just without the fantastic front end feel of the Porsche but the Beemers have more range from comfort to aggression then the 992. The Porsche is a scalpel the BMW is a cut throat razor. The Porsche puts down clinical speed with precision. The Beemer is a white knuckle ride on a rocket lift off. The boxer sounds much better and sings it's way to a solid 7,500 while the S58 sounds rough and ready. The ZF is impressive and feels racecar strong on the street but the PDK remains the best box in the world. Both incredible cars.

This was surprisingly a great review 😅🙏🏽

Wicked review.

hella sick and awesome review man

Congratulations on a beautifully specced car. Awesome natural presentation. Bmw is German engineering at its finest. Greetings from South Africa 🙏

Excellent video very informative.

Beautiful taste in cars you have my friend, especially that aggressive look from the G80 m3

What a great fkn review!

new to your channel, great job!! The mid west's Jeremy Clarkson !!

Lol you drive right by the road I live off. Sweet ride! Love the color! Considering getting rid of my 18’ fbo rs3 for one of these fields here I come

Audio was definitely pretty good! Way more in depth than my little impressions thing coming soon lol. Interesting you confirmed my question of single or dual clutch. I feel like you notice it on the downshifts. Curious to try the single clutch in rs5 seeing I'm used to dual clutch in s4 s6

Sweet ride! Might have to cop one of these now that Mercedes is going to a 4-popper

Hi Pete, love the review mate! 👏👏👏& I’m hoping to lock - in a contract with BMW for a M3 Xdrive that looks/ specs like your one which I love ❤️ . Enjoy your wheels ! 👍

Reminds me of Obsessed Garage and maybe even Savagegeese. Good video.

very nice

Nice review. I also have noticed that there is a power lag/drop post shift in high rev range in manual mode. Maybe a future software update will address that …

X drive will be a GAME CHANGER on the M3 and M4. Congratulations!

Thanks for great video. I’m gonna order M4 xdrive over GTR. Thanks again

Great Video, I’m torn between getting another GTR or this. Just wish these weren’t going for 15k over sticker used haha

Jesus, bro! Nice review. I have been stressing out over whether to keep my M3 CS after lease end or get a G80. Your video has really swayed me toward the G80 and I LOVE my CS, hence the stressing out over it. Your review here is the first time I have felt that I would not regret letting my CS go. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Good video. Your Porsche was nice but I understand the switch 😂

Awesome review, just traded in my AMG CLA45S for a M3 Comp XDrive in Dravit grey with the 825m bi-colour wheels, carbon fibre package and Fiona red/black interior. Will not get it until early 2023 unfortunately.

Great review. You know your shit

Hands down the best review I have seen. Did you by chance measure 0-60 time without LC and without brake boosting?

Fantastic review! I really like your spec choices, including the Tartufo choice. I am truly torn between Tartufo (feels very classic/executive) and Silverstone (feels more sporty/race-like) for my final spec to the dealership for a June delivery. Regarding the Tartufo interior choice, are you experiencing any wear issues or otherwise? I am leaning towards Tartufo, but I would like to get your thoughts if possible - mainly because I don’t see too many Tartufo-spec’d G80s out there. Thanks for any help.

The first proper review. Thanks for this. I have a tanzanite blue XDrive waiting at the docks. I would love to know whether you have spent any time just driving around in 2wd mode. Are you able to pop it into 2wd set TC to 7 and just drive or does it revert back to AWD after a certain amount of time?

Have a g80 xdrive on order. Went with tanzanite blue with full black leather and the carbon buckets. Now I’m wondering if I should’ve gotten tartufo with the standard seats. I’m also on the waitlist for a Porsche (C2S) but was quoted a 2 year wait… so the g80 will be my only car for a while.

New subscriber to your channel. It came on to my feed. I’m a fan of your content. Thanks for the content. Looking forward to the next video. Quick question Would you recommend this over a base 911 ? I myself am in the market for this or a base 911 in the next 6 months.

This is the quality and depth of content I try to find when I look for car reviews. You, James Forte, and Tommy L Garage are in a class of your own. Learned a shit ton about this car that no one else has said in just 20 mins. Great video! Also, was that cold start with valves closed in Efficient? Or did you aux. power the car into Sport or Sport+ before starting?

Love the skyscraper grey Great color ! Did you get the carbon fiber package too? I noticed you mentioned the options you got but didn’t mention it and see it on the car just wondering if you had to pay extr or it came with it - also does it come with Harmon kardon audio ? Loved your review was fun to watch congratulations

Thanks again for your review here - much appreciated. My Skyscraper/Tartufo G80 is finally on a boat crossing the Atlantic. Regarding the PPF that you did, where did you stop with the PPF on the lower sides and on the A pillar? I would appreciate any thoughts that you might have, especially regarding how visible the PPF lines may be, especially on the lower sides.

Great review. My dealer has a Nov allocation for me, so my M3 will probably come by Christmas. I saw you drove on the I94 highway and some local roads which are close to my home. Have you ever been pulled over because of lacking the front license plate? I'm still hesitating on using a tow hook mount or no front plate at all.

nice review Pete as always. how does it compare to your macan gts? i'm thinking about replacing my macanS gen2 with a m3/4. Macan is perfect in its segment but m3/4 can also handle track days from time to time. The only thing i'm worried about is that Bmw's power steering is typically worse than porsche's. Would love to know your thoughts on this and the handling, as you own both as well. TIA

Hello, thanks for your effort, a great review! Rich & informative content!! I have three questions: (1) You mentioned AWD pulls you forward, while RWD pushes you from the rear. I do not quite understand, which one gives you more sensation of accelerating (rolling accelerate)? (2) AWD & RWD, which one give you more engagement of daily driving? Because you said there is more chassis communication for RWD. (3) If you’ve playing around the TC of 2WD for M Xdrive system. Because DSC must be off to active it, does it feel the same compare to RWD version G8x? If it is the same, at what TC level? Thanks in advance for your help!

How is the ride and suspension for "normal" driving? Ideally I would have a sporty daily and more of a pure sports car, but only have room in my garage for 1 additional car right now. I do 2+ commutes into the city 1-2 times a month so need something that is comfortable as well as sporty.

Gorgeous car if you can get past the front grill. I wish I could take the one off my '17 and slap it on one of the new ones.

Great video! Is 10 stage TC only available on 2WD? Can you change the TC level on 4WD mode?

Great review. Hate the grill but the rest of the car is outstanding. Enjoy.

Just sold my Carrera T and have a G80 M3 xdrive on order now. I needed more practical as I'm losing a parking spot in the new house - I hope I don't regret it!

Great review again! Does your wife still have the Macan gts? Now is a great time to trade like you said so I'm happy you got the M.

Awesome review. How would you describe the laser lights? Thank you

Pete. Got my M3C in Build Week 19 right now. Watched a bunch of vids on it and I like your technical impressions the best. No marketing hype. Would love to know what Porsche build you have coming. I had a TS allocation and didn't keep it...probably should have as turnaround time was about the same as the M3. Totally different car tho. Also you mentioned being able to turn off the sound enhancing and control the exhaust flaps...is that all programming or third party hardware?

“ Ridiculously violent” 😂

Thanks for the detailed review! I'm seriously considering getting a xdrive m3, did you get a discount from msrp ? I'm in sf bayarea, got a quote at msrp about 6 month ago for a rear drive.

Crazy about the bearing recall

Do you still have the M3? Just placed an order for a 24 xdrive coming from a Macan GTS

Beautiful car. Curious why you went with the ZF vs the manual? And AWD? I’m torn between the manual/RWD and your spec.

The S58 does not have 3D printed pistons. It has forged pistons.

I hav a gulia Quattro folio tuned I luv it considering m3 your honest opinion would m3 give same enjoyment thanks

great video, dude!

Hey what is your opinion for the 60-130 difference on the awd and rwd since you had tested both?

I have an m3 xdrive getting delivered in the ect two months (mid to late November). Are you getting snow tires? Sorry if I missed it in your video. I’m in the upper Midwest (Minnesota)

Awesome review! I also have a xdrive m3 but I do have a question as I am trying to diagnose if I have a problem right now. When turning right or left from a full stop in first gear, I get this feeling like some gearing is not catching. The car doesn't necessarily shake but the acceleration is not smooth. It feels like a 4x4 car making a u turn and getting that jerky acceleration. In a straight line, the gear shifts are perfectly smooth/normal. Is this something you are experiencing in your m3 as well or something I should look into? Any information would help! I've been looking for information online but its hard to find information on the car as the xdrive m3 is especially newer.

Where did you see anything written about the crankshaft being 2kg lighter than the X3M? - I can't find any reference to that effect anywhere else.

How do you like the skyscraper grey? Still enjoying it? That’s the color I’m leaning towards

Do you think this car could be a daily? I had a m8 and sold it because it’s kinda stiff for me. Looking for something more comfortable

How does it feel like a highway cruiser? Suspension stiffness wise, will it break your back on long hauls?.....thanks and excellent review..

Hi Pete. I'm about to order my M3 xDrive and I have a question for you. Is M Drive Pro really needed? I hear that 4WD Sport provides a great mix of RWD feel/fun but the added traction and acceleration of AWD. Would you say that is true? Do you ever really use or think you'll use full RWD that would necessitate have M Drive Pro so you can have traction control? Thanks!

Can you share how this feels compared to the 718 Spyder and 911 T in terms of handling, steering feel, driver engagement? I had a 991.2 GTS and currently have 718 GT4 and seriously considering M3 comp.

Hi, I was just wondering what kind of radar detector and mount you are using for the G80. Thank you!

We need updates
