This....

You can always wait a few years and buy a higher mileage used one. Or you can easily buy the F80 gen for 40-60k depending on year/mileage. Car prices are high and luxury goods (such as a BMW M3) are especially high. It’s just inflation. I mean have you seen the price of eggs?

@@tomw485 Well, I think that these cars should be owned before the owners get them that just own them for six month to brag with and use them without care. Im personally looking for a BMW m2 now, but the most of them have had 10+ owners and that is not my cup of tea.

@@jbmectronic4314 Look at it this way. A car under 90k USD can do 0-60s at 2.8s and post a 7:28 Nurburgring lap time. For reference that’s the same time that the Porsche Carrera GT, McLaren MP4-12C, and Lamborghini Huracan LP 610 all posted. The original 458 Italian and Pagani Zonda F each put up a 7:33 lap time. 10 years ago you had to pay 300k+ to get this kind of performance and these were in mid-engine supercars with no daily drive-ability or practicality. You’ve never been able to go as fast for as cheap as you can now.

Just built a really nice one for 76k

couldn't agree more. I've had my E92 for 7 years and will never sell it, but my G80 as a daily is just so much car for regular needs, and can double as a track backup if my E92 is under the knife.

I would have gone the same route if I didn't demand manual. I don't live in a city and have worked from home for 10 years so I don't really have a commute to speak of, which makes it easier to justify owning manuals. M340 is the sweet spot for a daily with AWD. B58 is amazing. I've got a '21 X5 and that engine is like butter power delivery with the zf8 programming.

You hit the nail on the head man, B58 with the ZF is perfection. Enjoy your bimmer in good health.@@jwardTLS

Rubbery manual gearbox though and limited torque capacity. The auto is better for most people, and yes I've driven manual cars for decades

@@fzr1000981 It's an improvement over the F80 manuals. Good clutch feel, better shift action. I'm not looking to add any more than 60WHP to it with a basic stage 1 tune using a US 91 octane map. I personally prefer the manual.

@lockingdiff CT5V Blackwing is a much better manual and I'm hardly the only one saying that

@@fzr1000981 I don't really care about the CT5V, how it looks, drives, and the interior. My only let down with the G80/82 is the front...which I've already fixed with the Adro bumper.

@@lockingdiff RS7 definitely looks better

No way!

Haha is that you in the m2! Small world 😂😂

touring its the same car

Manual on the m3 would be sick weekend car id go for the manual it will rise in price too

Def go manual on the e92 m3. I love mine. As far as EDC it depends on what you are doing with it. I put coil overs on mine which deletes the EDC. Later comp model will cost more. I went with a low mileage 08, saved about 20k and put that money towards mods.

I haven’t driven a G80, but from the videos I’ve watched, the auto seems to shift very fast, certainly a lot faster than the older torque converter autos of yore.

With an xhp tune the zf transmission shifts quick like a dct some say it's faster

Went from a F82 M4 DCT to a X3MC with ZF8. I have to say the new ZF8 is very fast; however, less engaging. It's much smoother, but it's missing the mechanical feel. You won't be sacrificing speed, but you will not get that kick anymore when you shift (at highest shift speed setting). At least I miss that feeling very much.

Same here. First one was an E34 in the early 90s. Currently driving an M850 GC and just took delievery of a 24 X5 50e.

The best!

You know they have these things called Sport seats, which don't have carbon backs and are easier to get in and out of.....

Yes absolutely. I have driven RS5 and the four wheel drive system isn’t as fun as the xdrive.

@@BeckyEvans thanks so much for the reply. Considering an individual spec M340i and after all the options it’s getting up to nearly 100k CAD, which is very lightly used M3 prices.

Ahhh that’s a hard choice. I’d say m3 touring!

Really well. Not a mark! I jsur give them a little clean and hoover now and then and they are as good as new 👍🏻

They're bolts that hold on the headrest padding, which can be removed if it gets in the way when you're wearing a helmet.

In general, the blacking out of rims and body trim is a trend I don't quite understand. It is mentioned frequently as being more sporty and giving a more sinister look but in most cases I find that it detracts from the overall look and looks cheaper as well. It has a certain "base trim" look, though that might be a weird explanation. Don't know, it's likely just me because blacked out is insanely popular but in most cases I think chrome or another accent colour works better and lifts the car up much more. It also hides much of the detail of certain car parts like rims and bodywork I think, you can hardly make out the design when it's fully black. There are exceptions though, certain cars do work like that but it's usually cars that are fully blacked out, inside and out. I realize this is an unpopular opinion but that's how I view it

I agree with you that it looks cheap and full. I grew up in those days when all cars had black steel rims with a silver plastic cover on the outside, usually the cars lost these and you could see the ugly rims. This is precisely what these black failures remind us of. Then I hate black interiors, because it becomes so dark and gloomy. Then what is also popular that also spoils the appearance of the cars and that is to paint or foil all the chrome on the car black, it also spoils the overall image of the car. I think that those who do this today do not understand the design, color and shape of the cars. They destroy the whole thing instead of lifting the beauty.

Chrome grill and rims are standard. The car comes with a black package that charges more

The black destroys the car. just idiotic.

Congrats!

Thanks!!!!

Towing capability.... WTF. You're looking at the wrong kind of car completely dude.

Get a touring! But I’ll be honest I have no idea of towing capacity haha

@@chiganuggoo9929 no dude, I need to be able to tow my classic bmws around

@BeckyEvans I can't find any details yet, to be continued 🤣

@@AlexMTX Ahh, I see!

Thank you!

Fantastic colour!!

@@BeckyEvans Thank You, It is a good Colour and get loads of attention.

Literally haven’t had time to ride it. My work comes first and the weather has been terrible. It has been sat in my garage waiting for a day off and some sunshine. Have faith 🥹🥹

@@BeckyEvans appreciate the response

Trust me ud forget about a pan roof

Exactly, who cares about a pan roof. Just a fad. You also lose the carbon roof

Gay .. only females care a about sunrooofs

You won’t even think about it in this car

@@titanautomotives smh exactly..

They have actually dropped in price quite a bit already. A new will.set you back 84K. If you are prepared to buy a 12/18 month old you can get them for 68-70K. I don't see them dropping that steeply in the next couple of years. Yes, maybe a high mileage one, that's also not within warranty anymore.

Did you! I’m sorry to hear that x

When it stops raining 😫

Sorry, Becky
