to the grill complainers - is your Honda Fit grill that much cooler?

My m240i has a much better grill. No need for the new models to look like a badly drawn cartoons. At least the color blends it in a little and makes it look less hideous, but at that price point there should not be a need to try to "lessen the ugly".

Im a g80 m3 xdrive owner and I like older corvettes not a big fan of the mid engine models, I have test driven a z06 and I gotta say I think the m3 is a little better with their transmission. Keep in mind the ZF8 is set to handle over 1000+hp the stock block s58 can push out without having to rebuild a brand new engine, reason why I went with the G80 m3.

if you can get pass the front end design and the curb weight of the this car then it's a great car. Its no ultimate driving machine but for 70-80k its quite the performance.

@SpeedPhenom

2 жыл бұрын

GT500 is more raw, and suspension is more intuitive for corners. Really hard to compare because the focus is very different. I think the M3 has a super advanced set up for its class, making it both smooth and responsive. From a base standpoint, one is track first (GT500) other is street first (M3).

@SF12212

11 ай бұрын

I’d have to disagree being that I have test driven a gt500 on the track and currently own a g80 m3 comp xdrive, my m3 feels a lot sharper around the corners and hide the weight of the car. Sure the gt500 is a track purpose car but then again everyone honestly says that because of the 200 hp advantage, and if you look at the engineering aspect seems to be BMW has a better suspension set up versus the gt500. If Im not mistake c8 corvettes and gt500 are slower then the M3s on the Nurburgring too. Not biased I love all the cars but a lot of people don’t know much about the g80 and is it doesn’t have the hype the new muscle cars like corvettes and mustangs are getting now these days.

In my opinion if you get the carbon fiber roof get the everything else in carbon too otherwise don’t why have carbon roof but everything else black

Which Mercedes model doesn't have a touchscreen? The new C200 has an infotainment system miles ahead of this M3 C.

What were they smoking when they designed the front end? Good looking car if you never see the front.

In the flesh these cars look sick on the road and the grille looks fucking mean.

Significantly better steering response compared to the previously generation, suspension wise too significantly better overall you feel more confident taking turns in the g80 m3 then you would with the older models. If you ever plan on getting one it’s worth every penny.

C63s or M3? Choose one please....

You'd think, that with it being a 3 litter inline 6, it would be an equivalent of a 2JZ, but they do not sound the same on rev. Granted, sure, that could be due to the exhaust, but typically you can tell what a 2JZ sounds like even with stock exhaust

I just got the rwd m3 competition. I didn't get the xdrive cause I didn't want a jeep but m3 traditional driving experience. Xdrive is over hyped. I live in nor cal. No need for extra weight and the front end sits higher on the xdrive taking away its aggressiveness.
