BMW F80 M3 vs BMW G80 M3. Which Is The Better Choice!?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

After owning the F80 for a while now, I was curious to see if my mind changed on the G80. Decided to drive them back to back and see what I think. Should I sell the F80 for a G80?

    Objectively great things about F80: 1. Lighter than both it's predecessor, AND it's successor (rare to ever happen) 2. First turbocharged M3 3. Last M3 with analog gauges 4. Last good looking M3 (it never had to grow on anyone, and was universally recognized as one of the best designs to ever come out of BMW ///M division (I didn't make it up) 5. All of the conveniences expected of a modern car (CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, home link, comfort access, HUD) 6. DCT

    Great video and comparison. I just picked up my 2018 F80 comp (also in mineral grey but dct) on Friday. It's my first M car after coming from a modded cadillac cts-v and having driven both the g80 and the f80, I had no hesitation of going with the f80. There is something raw yet refined about the f80 that just does it for me. The g80 felt "softer" (for lack of a better word) in comparison, but no doubt it is also a great car. My f80 was 650+ miles away in the next state over, so I flew in and drove it home, and it was amazing on the ride home. Put it in "efficient" mode and I was getting 30mpg at times on the interstate, then when I wanted to have some fun, put it in sport plus and it's a completely different car. It does everything so well. In the end, it really came down to those factors and just how good it (still) looks.

    I bought the F80 zCP in mineral white brand new (my very first new car) in 2017. I still feel it has that timeless design but after hating the G8X aesthetic for over a year, I started to get FOMO. I grew to love the new design and now prefer it over the F80. It's definitely edgy and as you mention, you either love it or hate it. I finally got an allocation after waiting 9 months. Car arrived 4 months after that and traded in my F80. It's also the 50 Jahre Edition but in Lime Rock Grey with the carbon bucket seats. I paid $102K for it. I live in the Oregon with no sales tax and my local dealer had no markup on it like many others had at the time. I have no complaints. It puts the power down way better than the fishtail happy F80 and actually don't mind it at its stock height. I think the 19" wheels in front with bigger sidewall helps. Only thing I had to buy was the CF air inlets in the front and CF rear diffuser. I felt like I had to do a lot more to the F80 to be as happy as I am in my G80. It feels more premium and am digging all the modern updates. Your car looks super clean man! Cheers. -PS if you search for "bimmerpost forums The Journey to Ownership" you'll see my little writeup.

    You are talking about a very low optioned, stripper spec g8x. They can be had for 70-80 or so now depending on miles. But a fully optioned, final year f80, low mileage, you are in the low to mid 60’s. Either way, it’s a big gap for someone considering either one of these cars. The 10-15k difference is a big jump when buying a car for most.

On top of that, the ride would get to me at times and I my non full leather interior’s cheapness sometimes bugged me. I other stuff to drive, but now looking back into one car ideally… I think the G80 solves a lot of the issues, but I still do not like the front end and I would have to get a 22 or older to avoid that hideous display. I’ve had almost every generation of 3 series and have to say the F80 is a close 2nd to the E46 as all time best designs. My other option is a CT5V Blackwing, but that’s another $20k or so and I’d be at the gas station way more often due to the small gas tank and horrid MPG.

    Both are great to me. I like the bigger size in my g80 because I’m a taller guy, have a family and need to be able to make it comfortable for them. That being said, I am concerned about the electronics but the luxury is top notch. I love the huge screen. I want all the tech in such an expensive car. I’m also the guy that wants the m3 and sunroof. It’s about having options in my book. That being said, I refuse to go automatic. Manual all day! Now I hated the front grill at first but there is no better looking headlights in the world. The halos are gorgeous and completes the menacing look in my book. I think the front is meaner looking than the f80. Now regarding price, it’s a bit unfair to compare the jahre edition. Out the door on mine, I was less than 90. Not cheap but def not 125. That’s not the norm - I know you mentioned it but it’s just not apples to apples. Base price on a new g80 is around the 75k mark. When it came to me choosing, being honest, I just don’t trust used M cars. People don’t buy these cars to cruise and I don’t want to inherit something someone else broke. I ordered my g80 and never have to guess how it was cared for.

    Absolutely. Both are fantastic options. As mentioned, it came down to my situation and what I was looking for as a second car. As the all in one, the g80 is the better choice. The example I drove, yes it was an extreme. But pricing out an individual color, carbon buckets, executive pack, carbon exterior, and a few other options I’d want, it’s still in the 6 digits for me for a comp xdrive. A rwd base can easily be had for under that, but I was driving an example I would have purchased. Maybe not the jahre edition, but definitely a comp x drive. And buying used has both pros and cons. I got my f80 used (very low miles), but it’s all about the maintenance history. If it can be backed up, I don’t have an issue purchasing used. Just need to do the homework and get a ppi done.

    @@Scoobyfreak86 all valid. I’m surprised you’d go from a manual f80 to a comp xdrive. Even with where you’re located- I’m outside Philly, I still refuse to drive an auto sports car even as a second car. Good thing is that there’s something for everyone. I went exec pack, Dravit grey was an up charge , mdrive pro manual, lasers. Love the cf on the interior, skipped it on the exterior but dealer ended up making a mistake and ordering the cf roof instead of my sunroof. Still mad but I’d still be waiting 10 mos later lol. Point is, I was going to do the sunroof and just do black ppf up top. If I would’ve elected cf roof, then I’d want all cf parts too to match. I did get a discount so I can’t complain too much.
