It's no secret that BMW M3s are a great bit of kit, an everyday driver's car, and now that the latest G80 version comes with xDrive, in my opinion, it's the best yet.
A massive Thank You to BMW UK for lending me their top spec G80 BMW M3 Competition xDrive for a week to film a bunch of different videos with, I absolutely loved it!

Another brilliant video mate! Glad to see you loved it so much, mine still surprises me when I press the right buttons... The only package the comprehensively beats it (in my opinion) is BMW's very own M5 CS, that takes everything to another level again and adds a better ride 👌 Happy 2023 and keep pushing with the channel... 🎬

@RickTheSpud Жыл бұрын

Thank you buddy, really appreciate that! It was a bit of a rambly rush as it was going back that day but I knew I had to put my thoughts on film, and I couldn't hide how much I love that car, what an everyday fun fest! 🥳👌 I've had a little blast in the M5 (non CS) from Goodwood, and on track in the rain, it just seems a bit bigger and more sensible. I'll stick with the crazy! 😜 Thanks for the encouragement too mate, I'll do my best... 😘❤️

After having it for a week, do you think the carbon buckets are a good choice for a daily driver? Or are the carbon ceramics necessary? For me I’d be adding another $15k to get those. I doubt I’m going to call and add those options but man is it tempting!

@RickTheSpud Жыл бұрын

Me personally, I would 100% add the carbon buckets, even for a daily driver. I was in and out of them multiple times a day, sometimes an hour, when filming my 'Top 10' video and you develop a knack to dropping in them and climbing out of them, as shown in this video. They are so supportive while being so comfy, and are easily the best seats I've ever seat in! 👌 Carbon ceramics I wouldn't worry about I don't think, even with the odd track day.

Looking at Tanzanite Blue Metallic with the Kyalami Orange or Tartufo interior, Adenturine Red with Silverstone or Tartufo, or Goodood Green with Tarfufo. Although I do wish there was a tan interior closer to the cognac sensotec colour. That said, I'm loving this Skyscraper Grey with Orange.
