I agree and I applaud BMW for doing something new and exciting with the new M3. Instantly recognizable and very aggressive. 💯

It took a while but I like it now

@@andresmiguel2573 It took sometime for me to warm up to it as well.

I just picked my 2023 M3 comp xdrive. I hate nothing lol. Well… I hate I only have 285 miles on it

@@OneTwoThreePunch Congrats! Now its time for some more break in miles

That’s great to hear! The G80 has been an awesome road trip/daily driver car for me. In fact every M3 I’ve owned falls into that category. We live in a world of “blah” these days when it comes to new cars. The G80 is super aggressive and has exciting new design language. Soon you’ll see other manufacturers copy it.

You got it! Anything in particular you would like to see?

@@carguy302 Well, I test drove both vehicles (2022 models) and ended up ordering the M3. In general, I find it very difficult to develop a good feel for a car during a 5 minute test drive and understand that it takes time and miles to learn a vehicle's character. My impression of the M5 was that it is a very well behaved and mannered car with lots and lots of power. Now that I had the M3 for a little while, I can say that I truly love the road feel of the car...it sticks like glue to the road, provides great steering feedback, and I quite like the stiffness of the suspension (amongst other things). I figured since you own both and have much more miles under your belt in the M5 that you would be able to provide a great first hand comparison.

Thanks bro! The 1st service is due by 1200 miles and it is a break in service. I've kept the RPM's under 4-5k

@@carguy302 ahh sounds good thank you! Just got confirmation today my M3 is on the boat, so it should be here in March 🤞🏾

Thank you! Congrats on the M4 that your getting. Just curious 🧐 What color did you spec?

@@carguy302 Lol I'm still waiting on an allocation so I'm constantly changing my spec, most recently is black sapphire and I think that's my safest bet, but I seen a Sao Paolo Yellow XM6 today and It is giving me second thoughts lmao

@@nxu.m3403 I was waiting for an allocation as well and my build was going to be BSM with Red interior. As you mentioned its a safe bet and looks menacing!

Thank you! 😎 This isn't the typical color and options I would order but once I saw the car I fell in love with it. $130k is a BIG number for an M3! 👀

@@carguy302 Over here we pay a lot on import tax for European cars so it drives the price up when purchasing new.$$$$👍

Thank you! 😎

Thanks my man! No issues so far. I purchased a new wash mitt and soap from Chemical Guys made specifically for matte paint.

Thanks my man! The iDrive 7 in the M5 is a great setup and is easy to navigate because it’s what I’m used to. However, the iDrive 8 is very sleek and modern looking and also is easy to use but will take some time getting used it. With that being said I would opt for the iDrive 8 setup if I had to pick one.

@@carguy302 hey appreciate your answer! Glad to see real reviews and real ownership! Keep it up man!

No carbon seats due to this being a daily driver. Carbon buckets are beautiful

😂 Last thing I wanted to do was forget to close it. Thanks for checking the video out

I have PPF on the entire front clip, headlights, mirrors, A arms, rocker panels and also replaced the OEM PPF in the rear quarter so it covers more area. The paint is holding up great and maintenance is easy. The child seat protector is made by Brico.

Thanks my friend!!😎 I agree. The car is quieter than I would like so a mid pipe is probably the next mod. Thanks for watching!! 💯

@@carguy302 of course brother & I can't wait to hear how it'll sound💪

@@carguy302 i’ve found placing the engine in sport or sport + dramatically changes the sound

@@robbierosnack4217 The car sounds great while your inside of it. In my opinion it almost sounds like a Porsche in some ways. The issue is that the sound of these cars can go bad quickly if the wrong exhaust mods are chosen. Sound is subjective and comparing it the other cars in the stable it cant hold a candle to the boosted V8's

The front end isn't for everyone but the S58 engine is a gem. From my experience the depreciation isn't terrible. For example I sold my 21 G80 M3 Comp for $80k after putting 13k on it. MSRP was $84k The biggest difference I noticed from the M5 is how nimble and light M3 feels in comparison. The M3 feels like it is on rails and the steering feel is much more connected & precise feeling.

@carguy302 interesting because C&D slammed the steering in their Lightning Lap review

@@fzr1000981 Steering feel is subjective. When I drive the M5 & M3 back to back that is how the M3 feels to me.

Thank you! The car is lowered on KW HAS

@@carguy302 Awesome! are you running any spacers? My M3x Comp arrives in 3-4 weeks so i'm trying to get some mods ready

@@DreDay2000 15mm spacer in the front and 12mm spacers in the rear.

Thanks! It’s lowered with the KW H.A.S kit

@@carguy302 nice that’s a nice drop! I just got H&R super sports. Been eagerly awaiting to install them.

Thanks my man! 😎

Thanks my man! 💯

20%

I owned a 21 G80 M3 with the old screen and there is nothing wrong with it but the new iDrive 8 gives the car a more modern look & feel. It’s a huge improvement in my opinion.

Real estate business. The M3 was a dream car for me as well.

You got it my man! 😉

🙌🏼😎

Thanks my man! I appreciate your insight and I agree with you on the calipers. They do look out of place for the caliber of car this is.

That’s too funny 😂

To each their own! 😉

Too funny! I bounce back and forth between a weed whacker or chainsaw. Sounds like 2 running simultaneously

💯 BMW M3

Thank you! The wheels stay clean for about 5 minutes 😂

Thanks for sharing your opinion! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

@@carguy302 Overall the 2023 BMW M3 is an incredible car, no doubt about it but I like many feel strongly about the weird front grille. Other than that, its a winner 100 percent.

@@BondJamesBond... The designers were definetly thinking outside the box on the G8x platform. The performance is hard to beat and ability to mod is on another level.
