2021 BMW M3, M4 | More Power, More Sideways

We review the new 2021 BMW G80, G82 M3, and M4 Competition to find out if these are everyday super cars. Do you want a manual transmission, you got it. Smooth automatic, with a transmission cooler, check. We cover the good and the bad including the technical details. We drive both cars on the street and track to help buyers decide between cars like Mercedes AMG, Audi RS3, Lexus RCF, and Toyota Supra.

To me as a Wisconsinite, Jack referring to 85-90mph as a normal highway speed is the most Illinois moment ever captured on this channel.

i want the carbon buckets purely for the *ballsaque holster*

[FreshlySnipes]

The manual G80 M3 might be one of the best daily drivers of all time…

Size is just right for stuff and family, engine is an absolute savage, looks great IMO, modern tech, fast as hell, handles great, decent gas milage, sporty when you want, comfortable when you don’t & last of the manuals…

[Zecrid.]

I see you listening to the Cowboy Bebop sound track Savagegeese, respect

[nacholibre]

The opening shots are reminiscent of the glory days of top gear in a good way. The effort you guys put in can't be duplicated. Top notch.

"out of the entire BMW F80 M3 production (pre-LCI and LCI), 5, 426 units were fitted with manual transmissions while the remaining 29, 251 units were automatics. That means about 15.5% of the BMW M3 cars sold were manuals and a lot of them went to North America, where the ratio was nearly twice as high at 28 percent, compared to 3.54% in the rest of the world combined"

LOL

Find someone that can make you giggle like Jack can for Mark.

That powerslide Jack did in the M4 at the start was masterful - big top gear vibes there!

"Alright jack, I'm gonna pass these miatas because they make me SICK."

[CCourter]

That green paint is amazing. BMW killing it with paint options these days

[StereoHound]

3:46 don't think we didn't notice that tag on your cap Mark 🤣.

[ebsupra]

- So when you do start liking the front end?

- That's the neat thing. You don't.

[gabrielash]

the extra little easter eggs you guys hide in the videos are hilarious, love it!

[bach]

Every time I see that grille I think, "Nice beaver."

[machina_spirit]

Its been said before but it must be said again, i love all the technical sheets, graphs, and materials you guys get and post in these reviews in the mechanical/shop portion. I always have my phone ready to pause so I can read through them, really good stuff to nerd out on!

[johntechwriter]

Just when I thought another M3/M4 comparo was too much to bear, you guys’ ability to personalize the driving experience made it fun to watch.

[bedlambikes]

Savagegeese knocking ANOTHER one out of the damn park. Best channel on the toobs!

[johntechwriter]

I’ve been out of touch with you guys the last few months but returned to re-view this comparo. I was immediately made aware of the relaxed and laid-back vibe of your show — you two never seeming to be attempting to ingratiate yourselves with the viewers. I love it! As the Brits say, never let them see you trying.

[freedomstar]

I always get a kick out of these two doing reviews .... the humor and dry humor .... it's pure classic !

[reszsfa]

This is the first car that I’ll never back park lol.
