They dont call BMW's the ultimate driving machine for nothing. Such a beast

I could watch the M3 POV's everyday and never get tired. They're all so fun to watch. Especially the Ricky's one, he was drifting it around the roundabout that was cool af.

Whether you want to go on holiday, touring for the weekend, for daily driving or drifting, these M cars have it all.

I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work

Ik the torque converter on g80 is smoother for daily driving but I really wish they kept the dual clutch as the automatic transmission option like you said it makes the f80 feel so much more aggressive which is what I want in an m car

What an amazing car spot on review

best car in Paragon cars so far❤‍🔥🔥

Spot on with your assessment of this car 👌 I’ve owned fast diesels e46 330d, and had two e90 335d’s (the most recent I’ve had extensively tuned including suspension and brakes) and I have a stage 2+ 535d, the F82 M4 simply blows these away. So aggressive, so sharp and such an occasion. I like the fact it demands respect and requires a level of experience to get the best from it.

Great review mr

I can hear the active sound design there I coded that out 5 years ago on my 2018 M3 Competition !

I agree about the manual gearbox being a perfect addition to the M machine. If only they were more common to purchase in the second hand market.

Best way to test, and drive this car imo is in Sport throttle, comfort suspension, comfort steering. The non-comfort settings are too harsh for normal road use, even with sporty driving, and sport + throttle just changes the throttle mapping to make it harder to modulate without providing extra power. I think a lot of the reputation of this car being hard to control comes from people driving it in sport + rather than sport and having that unexpected/unnatural throttle mapping

Love the competition spec my friend had one in a baby blue kind of colour

Man I so wish I could afford one of these. Look like so much fun.

"Have a 340 as a daily and this [M3 Comp] as a track car". Couldn't agree more - so that's what I did. Both manual.

The whole point of an M3 is that it can do it all. There's no point having a 340i alongside this. Might as well get a 320i/d and a Porsche Cayman if you're going to run two cars.

@3:40 The manual is Jerry too. It took me awhile to learn the proper pedal dance to keep it happy. Don't even bother with the 1-2 shift under 4000 rpm...

would be cool to see a manual version of this M3/M4

F8x are the last of the true M drivers car imo. The balance, engagement and rawness make it so special. Disappointed when I drove a G8x. Very fast but feels numb and lifeless

@@blazesmooth5573 what? 😂 fundamental dynamics is the way it drives; G8x doesn’t have the balance or agility as the F8x. Front end much more inclined to understeer whereas the F8x front end is PINNED. Steering isn’t as precise or engaging. To get the best out of the F8x, you have to be a good driver. G8x so easy to drive fast and lacks involvement

Love your real world video reviews , looks like this M3 could be absolute carnage in the wrong hands 😂 Currently drive a 125i and was thinking of maybe a 340i estate as my next car, but you’ve put me off that idea now 😂👍

340i estate is much more forgiving than an M3. Just don’t turn the traction control all the way off 🤣.

This is a better car than the e92 m3 the only thing missing is that noise, but this is a really deadly car and it will still be relevant for a while yet!

Nice to see a review of likely "daily drivers" covering the bases. Range is a big one for me - can't be arsed to contend with service stations (and their ludicrous pricing) every 200 miles! 😆 Out of interest Tom... 2019/2020 M2 Comp, M3 Comp or M4 Comp - which do you reckon makes the best daily? (I note M3s seem to get a lot of comments about road noise & tyre hum).

M3 every day of the week, perfect blend of sport, power, and you have 4 doors for family or passengers. That is what I love about a M3 or C63, to most people it’s just another sedan, but those who know, know😉

I would definitely p/x my 240i towards this if got a decent price For it

Hi Nice video. I’m thinking of the M3 or M4 F80/F82. I’ve been advised by a family member not to get an M car if I’ve never driven a sports RWD car as it’s hard to drive and get used to? I see handling is twitchy?

@ParagonCarsLondon

10 ай бұрын

i'd get something like a bmw 340i first if you want a rwd car as it's a bit more forgiving. The M3 can be quite unforgiving at times and if you're not 100% sure in what you're doing then it can end badly.

These things are “ widow makers” as you call them, because they are intended as a track car not an everyday vehicle. Many buyers just don’t have the skills or experience to handle them. Unfortunately that means the widows usually belong to the other guy rather than the driver.

My pal just let me see his M4 competition. If you stop it in drive, it goes into park mode.

Is this still worth buying in the era of super fast electric cars like a Model 3 Performance.
