Three things that really stuck out to me when I went from my F82 M4C to my G82 M4C was steering, power and its delivery and what a big step up BMW had done with the interior. I always loved the look of the controversial front end, call me crazy and I'm glad to see another G8X owner. Btw nice vid per usual.

This interior is by far the best compared to the LCI. The separation of screens is well executed.
The LCI has just a screen slapped and looks unfinished.

Got mine 8 weeks ago and already have half of your mileage 🥲. Car is too much fun driving ☺️.

congrats on 1 year ownership of the G80 M3

I actually love the new front grill - I think it has a nostalgic look to it.

These M3s will be a good buy when they come off lease. What a rocket. Thank you for putting this owner's video.

Congrats on your 1 year ownership🎉 beautiful, I have only had my Violet Blue for about 2 months, I went X drive and I actually like the staggered wheel look, so just did M performance HAS suspension, 10 and 14 mm spacers and I have kept the stock wheels...love them. So nice that these cars become a part of you and can represent each ones style. Awesome to see how each person does their own things🙌🏼

I like the G80 because its unique in looks, but don't see myself owning one because I just like the F series more looks wise. The F series has no bad angle for me, but all G series have at least one angle I don't like.

Great video honestly. I will be ordering a 2025 g80. Especially about the rotor rust. I have that same issue on my x3m although it isn't that bad at least in my experience. Usually i drive it a little after the wash to dry the water off to not have that issue. just maybe a slow cruise down the street or parking lot. I want the carbon ceramics on my g80, but I can't bite that bullet of almost 10k honestly. I can always upgrade the rotors and brakes later for way cheaper. I have seen plenty of people do it on their g80 now. I upgraded my brake pads to isweeps because of the brake dust. They cut down the brake dust some. You could also ceramic coat the wheels and brake calipers and it helps as well. I will be doing that on my g80. Thanks for the video. Great spec.

Congrats on the one year of ownership! Car looks amazing just like the first day you picked it up! Keep up the good work on making good content!

Can I just ask how do you justify having a race car that has 3 extra seats and 2 doors in the back that puts extra weight? I mean with that money you can get something more race focused while buying a normal daily camry you can use practically. Not only will you get more performance but also less concerns driving your car daily and parking it anywhere you like. Thoughts?

I have a 2022 M4 manual. I took delivery 10 months ago today. My wait was 345 days, 20 days short of a full year. My car is Isle of Man Green with Tartufo brown full leather interior. I have al most 6000 miles now and have had not trouble at all except for a tire cut in in the sidewall o my right rear, which looked suspiciously like vandalism as there was no other damage to the tire, the wheel, or the fender.

I traded in a 2015 F82 M4 manual, a car I loved for over 7 years. That said, I live my G82 even more. I find it much easier to drive as it is much smoother starting off from a stop and shifting gears, particularly from 1st to 2nd. I believe that this is partly a result on changes in the torque curve from the S55 to the S58 engine and possibly changes in the clutch linings.

I really love the interior. That Tartufo brown full leather makes the car feel even more expensive than it is, like a luxury GT. I did not order the carbon fiber seats. I tried them at in a car at the dealer before I ordered mine and found the awkward getting in and out of the car. I'm in my 70's and not getting more nimble at my age.

I really like the looks of My G82. I didn't like the front end when I saw the first photos in Car and Driver, but when I first saw one in person, I really came to like it. I saw a car in the showroom thin in Isle of Man Green and immediately decided that if I was going to get one, that would be the color. My ordered the moonroof so I don't have the carbon fiber roof, and did not order the Shadowline package. My roof, mirror caps, and lip spoiler are body color and my exhaust tips are chrome. The bi-color 825M wheels really pop. Perfect!

Overall, I find the G82 much improve over the F82. If I had to order again I wouldn't change a thing. I'm loving it!!!

I looked at one on the weekend, that interior is unreal man. And sitting in the bucket seats and non bucket seats was so comfortable. I'm making an order in May...then it's a 3 month wait.

Im a larger frame person and at the BMW performance driving center I was able to drive the G82 rwd on the track. I can say, the track seats are worth every penny! I was super worried i wouldnt fit but it I dropped right in. Plus if youre in the back you can tickle the driver. :P

Also, most people have no idea of the capability of the G8x chassis. It handles amazing, the traction control algorithm is one of the best in business. Its an absolute monster on track and has plenty of power even in stock form. Driving that car was one of the best experiences ive ever had. Thrashing a 100k car with carbon ceramic brakes was a memory i'll hold onto forever.

love the video very informative G8X platform BMW made a huge A game on the M3 and the M4 generations

[chris]

The grill is actually so sick! Just makes it look so different compared to anything else on the road

[Lifeisapartydresslikeit]

Glad you love your car!! I have the G83 and I’m in love! Congratulations on 1 year!!!🎉

Got rid of my M2 since I have a kid on the way, and this is the car I'm looking at to replace it. Thanks for the review, you helped make up my mind.

I agree with the engagement with the manual transmission. If it wasn't for this option I would look the other way. My production starts in this mid July and so excited. Just sent an email about SC performance delivery and waiting to hear back from the dealership. Thanks for the tip and what I should expect. Thank you!!!!
