I have one! In 2 years everyone will get used to the grill. The previous F82 will start to look older. This is the best car BMW has made! I get excited to drive around town for no reason! It feels that good!!
Nice review. I own a g80 xdrive m3 since October 21. I was never 1000 percent sold on the looks, but after 1 minute of ownership that went out the window the car is savage. I’ve had a 2014 m135 and 2018 m2 lci both from brand new. Brilliant cars but I would never go back to rwd. They aren’t made for the weather we get. For how much fun they were unless they are tracked you can never push them , and when your m2’s backend does the Macarena on the way to work every other day it gets tiring! Xdrive has to be the way forward. However I am hearing the new m2 won’t be !!
I personally think the front grill only fits the m car ( m3 m4 …….. ) but it doesn’t really fit the normally 4 series as it needs to have a muscular body to match the grill , any way just my opinion , happy new year 🎊
Same. The BMW is a newer model, and with that newer tech absolutely destroys the Alfa Giulia on track, but the way a car looks matters more than ultimate speed. I walk to the window to look out at my Alfa Giulia on the drive. I’d close the curtains with that M4 😂
@@ilya4759 still bad. I’m a massive bmw fan, had 2 generations of M3’s. The latest M3/4 has grown a little on me since launch, but it’s not a pretty car. The way a car looks, sounds, and feels matters to me.
@@mbarn I kinda doubt the new m3/4 would destroy the Alfa on a track, only on incredibly short or low traction tracks where the xdrive gives it an advantage. That said for me personally because of the better interior and better tech, between the 2 I would take the bmw.
@@jeff5798 there have been comparisons on track by car reviewers. Think it was Autocar where a race driver drove both back to back, and the BMW M3 rwd beat the Alfa, so I’m sure the outcome of the 4wd would be the same.
There is prolly a few mpg at most as an advantage of rwd, and that is about it. The limited slip system does seem to get no complaints in sudden downfall of snow, as long as there is space between front lip and pavement. Not sure why someone would bother with any "supercar" when these are in existence, with real rear seats...just gotta move the steering and pedals over about 3'.
Good review as always 👌 I would love one but not 100% sure I like the image and I don't know why - perhaps the last few I've encountered on the road recently have been driven by very average drivers???
Yes... Another 50kg is nothing. The problem is with driver it has around 2000kg and its almost 300kg heavier than F82. This weight is just crazy for "sports" car. Where are we going with this? I would choose F82 CS anytime over new generation. Thanks for review
Fantastically capable machine. Unfortunately not fun, very ugly, and way too expensive. The fact @ 3:11 you can launch the car flat out from standstill, with one hand on the steering wheel, just says everything I need to know. Absolutely amazing performance which requires zero skill, thus any footballer's wife can launch it from every traffic light, while still applying her lippy. No thanks, I'd rather have a car which demands concentration, and skill, because that is what driving pleasure is about.
@@thaalrasha I hear what you are saying, and it's correct matey, I guess you almost have the best of all worlds. Except you cannot do anything about it's ugliness (unless you have evolve's new front end fitted), and you can't do anything about the extra weight of the Xdrive system, and as good as it is, the price is ridiculous for most normal people, for a sporting coupe based on a saloon. It's not a 911 :-)) It is insanely fast, but it does not have the character of a real M car, in my opinion, the only car which does currently is the M2C (well did, they are about to ruin that with Xdrive too). Manufacturers seem to be obsessed with 0-60 times, instead of producing cars which are fun.
@@DjNikGnashers I got the M3 Xdrive, need 4 seats and G82 has less space in the back than F87 so i went for the G80.. I had an M2 and an M4 before also. Sure it's not as raw as the F series and it traded beauty for agressiveness but it still feels like a proper M car, no worries about that. As long as you can switch back to RWD i say it's fine.
@@thaalrasha I have only been a passenger in one so far, so I will have to reserve judgement until I drive one myself. It is a little out of my price range, although I work in the motor trade, and luckily for me, get the chance to drive all sorts of different vehicles. My daily is a tuned M140i (455bhp/634nm), and even though that is a long way behind the new M3/M4, it's more than enough in a RWD hatchback :-)) It is wild, and great fun.
@@DjNikGnashers I'm sure it is, i wouldn't bother going for bigger than the M140 (i'm guessing you have the LSD too) if i didn't use it to travel with my family and haul occasionally lots of stuff in... I'd still be in my M2 if i didn't need more space.
BMW nailed the aspect of the car "being great at everything". It is indeed a insanely good car. With that said and the point we arrived with perfection the M cars lost their character. MT/RWD somehow contains it but also there a little bit of something is missing... And the ZF over the DCT has done the rest. Its fast I know, but with absoloutely no character at all. On the Giulia I can forgive, they never actually used a DCT and the Car gets a character from other aspects and not the gearbox, but on the BMW the gearbox was a big part of that character. It's just lacking it, and boring....lightning fast, but boring. :(
Just get a pre-owned 911 Turbo or Turbo S if you want the speed on public road. New BMW are just too hideous, heavy, pretentious with fake sound, too expensive to buy but too fast to lose value.
@@joedegrood4354 911 and Porsche in general are a more desirable car that's why Porsche dealership don't offer discount for the sake of selling. For those very few people who are fortunate to get a build slot for their 992 GT3 need to previously own multiple top of the range Porsche to qualify and put their name down in waiting list to order a car with full price tag. BMW has nothing like that but only begging cimsomers to buy their cars with 25% off discount. Only BMW highly desirable are M1 and M1. My comment is based on my experience as a owner of multiple BMW from new and also own different gen used Porsche.
I wanted a m3 x drive ultimate but the equivalent m4 x drive ultimate is £10k cheaper (£64k m4 £74k m3). Prefer the look of the M3 but that’s a big gap.
I absolutely love the front grill look, sets it apart from everything else on the road and looks brutal.
:)
The front looks bad man, the car is great overral
Looks like a pigs nose to me.
@@Captainrave when you are in the car and feel how its drive you forget the nose, i hate the look but after my test drive i would buy it.
I have one! In 2 years everyone will get used to the grill. The previous F82 will start to look older. This is the best car BMW has made! I get excited to drive around town for no reason! It feels that good!!
man i bought one 3 months ago and is still delayed with no ETA. Super frustrating but watching these videos keeps me excited! Thank you for this
BMW have only been working 2-3 days a week due to supply chain problems, they are back 5 days as of Jan 2022
It’s worth the wait! Promise you won’t be disappointed

Yep, if I had to choose just one car, this would probably be it. Or a 992 turbo but it is less practical.
Great taste, these two are my near future and far future dream cars :)
Just sold my huge spec Giulia QV for one, the M4CX is just leagues ahead.
I can confirm it does 3.0 seconds 0-60 with my dragy too 😮

Love the vid, but umm at 3:32 it’s a straight six not a flat six. Lol keep up the good work.
Ok so the front end is definitely growing on me. Idk if it’s the white as it’s my go to but damn that thing looks sharp
It’s the worst looking car bmw have ever come up with.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 really liking the M4 and M3. Best in class
Great video and dang this one got me considering the frozen white again
Could you please give more info about bucket seats and compare it to regular seats.
How is the m3 or m4 compare to the Giullia quadrifoglio / gtam ?
Amazing machine but i still take the Giulia for sure!!

Wow! What a motor!!!

It is a brilliant car for sure! So so quick off the mark
This M4 competition coupe or M850i coupe which you drove in the past?
Good review as always 👌 I would love one but not 100% sure I like the image and I don't know why - perhaps the last few I've encountered on the road recently have been driven by very average drivers???
Wait for the M3 Touring (I think it’s coming this time, isn’t it?)
That’s gotta do everything
This is frozen white right? I see it looks more matte than the regular metallic white
Great vid
You do notice a difference between xDrive and none, but I prefer how Drive feels overall.
More importantly where did you find that sort of weather in the past few weeks 😂
Yes... Another 50kg is nothing. The problem is with driver it has around 2000kg and its almost 300kg heavier than F82. This weight is just crazy for "sports" car. Where are we going with this? I would choose F82 CS anytime over new generation.

Used 911 turbos with similar performance are still over 100k, and m3s are comparable to 911s in holding value. your other comments are fair
