I'm 42yo and finally in a position of having this dream car. I've found no info on actual cost to own from a person rather than a website, so I am very grateful for your honest, open input. Thank you!

Love the way you approach this video. Almost like talking to a friend, keep killing it!

This video is so informative & very personable, more cost breakdown videos like this would be awesome since people tend to be very shady about the ACTUAL cost of things (Eg. Home ownership, car, groceries/health spending)

Starting a new job soon and an m3 has been my motivation for staying strong and with it. This video was extremely helpful thanks for posting

Great video, thank you for the info. It was very helpful.

Really informative video and also motivating ! Thank you so much and the spec of your g80 is a dream 😍🤝🏽

Thanks bro. Good info

Thanks for the real world video. Glad to see you got a manual👍

Izzy, I know you can comfortably afford the car but I honestly cringe at people making under $100k (im in NJ and $100k here is pretty damn good) buying brand new M cars. I'm in utilities making around $200k and I could not bring myself to buy a $100k depreciating asset. And the only expense I have is a $1472 mortgage on a townhouse. My last purchase was a 2018 F32 440xi M sport. I picked it up right at the start of the 2020 covid panic. Car only had 8k miles and I took it home for a grand total of $36.8k. I don't know about other states but way too many people in NJ live credit rich, way above their means.

Great video. I too used think when I was younger that these monthly payments on these type of cars were so high. Never thought I’d get to a point where I would feel comfortable with $1k monthly payments. In the past I typically purchased used. I’ve owned a couple e36 M3’s, had an e46 M3 as well and kept the sales prices at $20k or lower. That was years ago though. With all that being said I ordered a G80 M3 a couple months ago and it is currently in production. Second guessing if I’ll take delivery on it when it’s all said and down. I absolutely love the car but not the price.

Nice vid! My M3 Comp xDrive is on the boat so I should have it in 30 days. Planning to finance as well. Did you go through BMW FS? Was their rate competitive?

Thank you for this video. Also noticed you’re near me driving from rolling rd into rt40 HC. I’m definitely considering purchasing one still debating though.

I think people need to start from something small, adjust finance accordingly, with priority of course. Right out of college my work car was a 1999 Nissan Sentra, next was a 2005 330Ci, then a Lexus IS 300 2016, then a BMW M340xi 19/2020 and now waiting for my BMW base model M3 (at port). Let's face it, Any financial Advisor/and (or) wife will tell you, its a bad idea pissing $70 to $100k + for a trill; But you cannot put a price on happiness or a dream. Perhaps its the reason we stive to succeed to achieve that dream which in of itself is unquantifiable. I would suggest, enjoy your dream, It came through.

Hi, my 2021 M340i $188 per month insurance from GEICO, so your BMW M3 only got $150 per month insurance form State Farm???

Beautiful car to have. My son is a manager with BMW. I drive a 2023 JCW Clubman. 301 hp, 0 to 60 in about 4.7 sec. Incredible car. Of course but through his dealership. But BMW is the cream of the crop. I'm in my '60s and I still ask myself can I afford that. We all do. Or at least we should. My house payment is over double yours. My house is 1.3 mil too. I can tell you even as a Manager in his position, which is high in his dealership he's still buys warranty packages. He just paid cash for brand new Toyota Tacoma. Needed a work truck around his house.. It has a warranty. Just saying they shouldn't have made you feel bad, but know that even those in the business buy them. Enjoy your car you deserve it.

i ordered an m3 comp with a few packages and it came out to $90k. i would never put down so much money because if it gets totaled u wont get it back. i am doing multiple security deposits to lower monthly costs bc it's a lease. im used to high payments since my current is an m550i.

1k a month for a 80,000 car doesn’t seem that bad.

Good video dude. My m4 is an absolute GAS GUZZLER especially when I put my foot into it

Could be age and then already having my share of reckless spending at a younger age (and I’m only in my early 30’s) but all I heard throughout this whole video was “financial mistake” and “liability”. BMW, amongst other car manufacturers have surely figured out ways through generation and generation on how to finesse. But in this day and age of social media, these companies have mastered it lol being a person that understands business and how money works, I look at “cases” like these and can’t feel any type of way about it because we all gotta eat and make money. Tricking people into believing they need things and then they buy into it, isn’t a crime 🤷🏽‍♂️ it just makes more sense to invest in things that aren’t actually worth it, when we’re financially free. When the cost of things are actually irrelevant. Could just be my type of thinking though. Cool video regardless 💪🏾

I’m curious about your insurance costs. What state are you in?

What do you do for work to afford such an amazing car at such a young age? I graduated school a year ago and have been working in finance full time. I just bought an 2023 audi s3!

Route 40 Ellicott City, MD. Love the car, been looking into getting one. I really want it, but I don't drive that much. I have a company truck, so I would only drive it on the weekends sometimes. Hard to pay over $1k a month while it sits in my driveway.

Maybe it’s just me, but $1,000 even 1500+ per month on a new m3 really is not bad. I think most people that have older M3’s probably spend about the same on maintenance during a month. I currently have 4 bmw M3’s (1 e46 and 3 e9x M3’s (2 e92’s and 1 e90)). But I plan to sell 3 of them and get into a g80. I 100% agree with comments of people living above their means but I think it all is on how you look at things too. I know I spend usually $6,000 per month maintaining all 4 of my M3’s. On paper several m cars sounds fun but it gets expensive fast. Once you sort one out another needs something else…it ends up resulting in you chasing your tail to fix your cars and never having time to enjoy them due to you always fixing them. 4-6k per month is also just parts value not including labor since I work on them myself, I wouldn’t even want to know what it would cost me if I wasn’t handy ha. Having a fixed expense of 1500 per month is not bad at all considering what I am spending now. Planning to order mine end of this month :) delivery should happen late august.

Hmm that 2023 M340i really sounding like a bargain price and performance without a pig nose 😂

My question is. Is the car worth it? I'm debating. I own an amg c63 but it is been a nightmare with issues and problems.

Great video! No one talks about the expense after buying

This car is basically another mortgage payment on wheels.. jeeeez man Reconsidering that m340i

Wouldn't the tire be covered by the tire warranty of BMW for the first year?

is it atleast Xdrive?

You think it’s better to buy a used f80 or just a brand new g80?

I live in Vancouver bc. Just for being a new driver, my insurance is 400 a month for a kia forte. A couple years ago, it was even more. And my average cost of gas for for a small 1.6t inline 4 is about 400 cad. Stop complaining. Around November to December premium peaked around $2.55/L or $7.02usd/gal. Stop saying it's expensive. As of right now premium is around $2/l or $5.51usd/gal. It is projected that regular gas will hit $2.50/L this summer. That would make premium about $2.70/L or $7.30usd/gal. Plus the going intrerest for a car in canada right now with decent credit is over 10%.

Great video and yes this car is going to cost you a crap ton of money to own. My m3 g80 comp xdrive cost me about 2175 for the 60 month loan term got but that is with all my expenses to operate gas,insurance,monthly payment,monthly savings for unexpected cost of 275 for anything. Also being in California the registration costs for my tags are $967.

Thank you very much for this video man, I plan on paying off my m340 and I will shop around for a m3 , I absolutely love this car so much 🫶🏻🔥

$150 in insurance is expensive to you??? You're blessed to be paying $150 for any car

I’m so fortunate to afford a G80. I’m going to be putting a pretty decent downpayment on one. Still living with my parents, no other bills but insurance, good paying job paying me $28-31 per hour(weekly pay), good CREDIT etc.

Just thought it was funny him talking about paying $85 for a full tank when my 2006 E53 is about 115 for a full tank

Is it just me or does 1000$ a month sound cheap. If i buy one here it’s 2100$ a month.. canada

I ordered a M4 Comp with extra’s my build cost $105k putting down $55k financed $50k payments hopefully be under $700, I own my own home don’t rent, This is my second BMW my first BMW was a 2022 430i had this car for 10 months then I test drove the M4 Comp and that did it for me, Sold 430i and now just waiting for my M4 to be in production

Everything he said don’t really sound bad to me jajaja

Good thing mortgages are 5k a month in California 🙃🙃🙃

Thanks! This video reaffirmed why this car is too much for me. I think this is ideally for people making at least $200k a year, and probably more like $250k+.

All you guys are high paying over $1k monthly 😂

Can’t tell if you are regretting your purchase or not? You seem sad

Hmart

😂😂😂

Wait till it breaks down in a few yrs

Not worth it. Better things to do with $1500 even if your a car enthusiasts
