Regarding the HUD...go into iDrive settings for displays and adjust the TILT for the HUD and it will then be viewable with polarized sunglasses. That is the purpose of the TILT, which most people do not know.
There’s no “comfort access” to the back or I believe passengers door due to safety to the driver. If your walking up to your car and someone is waiting for you to open it so they can hop in next to you and potentially rob you, it ain’t happening. However if you gotta put stuff in the back seat the 1/30 times you get in your car, then just press the button on the key. I’m a pretty firm believer in the safety in this feature. However you can modify it out
I'm very very interested to see what the new M3 is like. Especially if it has awd. But no plans to get rid of the S4 yet. Instead I could just add a F80 M3 to the garage....🤔
17:33 The M3s fueltank can store up to 60 LITERS of fuel. That is why you have 2x 1/3, because 2x 1/3 means that every 1/6 stands for 10 Liters of fuel. The reason that it doesnt work in the US is that you think in gallons, inches, feet and miles.
16:03 you dont need to have traction off to have the heads up display show the RPMs bar. You can go to the settings and configure it to show it at all times.
I've honestly never cared about having a carbon fiber roof. I actually appreciate having a sunroof. I really want an M4, it's just soo hard to find an M car with a sunroof. BMW and Audi are both my favorites car brands. I love the S5/RS5 and appreciate that they actually keep their sunroofs. I'm so stuck between buying an Audi or a BMW. Hardest decision ever
I really wish they would have made this generation of M3 with an all wheel drive option...I know I’m definitely in the minority but when you live somewhere with snow you don’t even think about these types of cars.
@@LegendInThaMakin we don't get the rs4 here. And the 330/340 is not the same level of performance. It's inevitable that the M3 is gonna be awd, M5 just went to it. And it's bmw making the decision, not "us"
EddieX The B58 340I is a car everyone sleeps on. With the right tunes and other performance modifications you could make it a 400 HP AWD car very easily.
These cars are mild and are meant to be tuned. For less than $1k you can get a Stage 2 tune, suspension coding, and you have a completely different car.
The back doors do have comfort access and open at the same time as the fronts. You have to go into the menu and select for the the rear doors to open simultaneously as the fronts.
I own a E90 M3 in Alpine white, 6spd Manual, Slick top. Love the V8 sound, it's not a fast car I consider it more of a drivers car. However I overall love the look of the F80 M3, exterior/interior and technology. I don't like how it sounds. But the torque on it is amazing due to those turbos. Have been really considering getting into one. Only drawback is that even used they are selling for too much.
Always do a cold start with the exhaust-flaps open. The difference is night and day😉thank me later. Ps:for those that don’t know, switch on ignition (hit start button once) , then switch drive ve mode from efficient to sport or sport-plus, blip the throttle (you should hear the exhaust valves opening up). Press down on brake and hit Start button.
Yea that’s the one thing I don’t like with the 3 series, they want you to buy a 5 series for all that doors. My 08 550i has all doors with comfort access. My moms x3 also doesn’t have the rear doors with comfort access.
Great video; as an owner of this vehicle it is a really great car. The exhaust might be hit and miss at times. The two issues I have with the car is the fact that the drive mode defaults to efficient every time you restart the car. And the comfort access can be quiet annoying at times as the trunk would open on it’s own at time, happens very often when washing the car.
Just with the F80 M3 sounded a bit better than a Fiat Uno straight piped. The design and style is killer but the C63 v8 rumble just wins it for me but I imagine the driving dynamic of the M3 is superior
perfect review just in time actually as I'm looking at either getting a GT350 or f80 as my next daily. In your opinion (as a daily) what would you go with as you've spent a lot of time with both cars. I'm in love with the gt350 and it makes amazing sounds lol, but I i might be leaning towards the f80 as it has more creature comforts (sound system, interior quality, 4 doors, more storage space, DCT vs. manual etc). I used to daily an e63 m6 with a v10 and miss the bmw platform haha.
Eddie i know you tall like me did you find the entry space annoying to get into the m3 i mean to small of an area to get in and out of thats always been my problwm with sedans being a tall guy,
Not horrible. Front seats are fine! My viewpoint might be slightly skewed after having to get into cars like the i8 and R8 so much, but no complaints about the M3 for me
Eddie....you better have a high credit limit on your credit card !!!! Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio all day long and twice on Sunday over this BLOATED U BOAT !!!!
@@EddieX ....Maintenance son....it's a BMW !!!! HEAVY MAINTENANCE !!!! FRANZ AND HANZ ARE RIPPING YOU OFF !!!! FORZA ALFA BABY !!!! THE KING IS BACK !!!!
I imagine it would be horrible in the snow and ice. Just based on how it handles in the dry. too tail happy and RWD, even with winter tires. I would daily this car if I lived somewhere constantly sunny and warm. Not here in Michigan for me
I daily my supercharged E92 M3 in Wisconsin year-round and it does incredibly well on snow tires. But the F80 has gobs more torque so it’s probably a different story for that fact alone.
Yeah! It's the absurd torque that I think it would be unusable. Now I haven't tried it so maybe someone who has tried could comment. But my conclusion is drawn based on my experience of the car in the dry and rain. Kudos for dailying the e92 tho 🙌
EddieX Honestly if I ever move to an F80, I’ll probably run it in the winter too. Just need to be extremely careful with the throttle. I just can’t get over the sound since I’m coming from the glorious S65 and don’t think it’s worth $30k over what you can get a supercharged E92 for these days.
@@redarmy1778 Congrats! I’ve decided to look for a f80 M3 again because it’ll be cheaper than a new is500. Just been saving till now so I can put down a big down payment. What year and hove you had any issues so far?
Hey Eddie, if ive got a friend with a car that is equally equitable to mine and we wanna trade for a week, do i have to convince my insurer to cover me in that car for the week or vice versa
Regarding the HUD...go into iDrive settings for displays and adjust the TILT for the HUD and it will then be viewable with polarized sunglasses. That is the purpose of the TILT, which most people do not know.
Wow
I didn't know that. I had the same issue with my i8. I'll try that some time!!
thanks for that !!! so annoying.
Not true. This doesn’t work for me...
That red leather is gorgeous with the mineral white.
Agreed!
Every car reviewer should do videos like this. It makes us feel like we're actually living with the car ourselves!
Thanks! I will definitely film more like this
5:26 is what I tell everyone and I'm glad that finally someone else appreciates the aggressive fender flares!

Since you love the F80 M3, maybe time to trade in the S4 for the upcoming G20/G80 M3 when it comes out.
I'm very very interested to see what the new M3 is like. Especially if it has awd. But no plans to get rid of the S4 yet. Instead I could just add a F80 M3 to the garage....🤔
Stunt on them then Eddie!
😂😂😂
A flash tune is a must on these cars it feels like night and day with how smooth it delivers power and with the transmission flash
Agreed. Lots of potential with tunes
Do you guys wanna hear the worlds best sounding m3? th-cam.com/video/l3pFVBF0I_U/w-d-xo.html
17:33 The M3s fueltank can store up to 60 LITERS of fuel. That is why you have 2x 1/3, because 2x 1/3 means that every 1/6 stands for 10 Liters of fuel.
The reason that it doesnt work in the US is that you think in gallons, inches, feet and miles.
Oh. I see. In America we use freedom units, aka gallons. So I have no clue about 10 liters haha. Thanks for the explanation tho!
You were revving I’m efficient mode so the valve was closed. Switch to Sport or Sport plus and you will get the sound.
Always love watching your vids man! Thanks for the hours of entertainment and knowledge you’ve given the TH-cam car community
Thank you so much for the support and kind words!
16:03 you dont need to have traction off to have the heads up display show the RPMs bar. You can go to the settings and configure it to show it at all times.
i love the f80 look. cant wait for the new 3 series to come out so this model can depreciate even more.
The back of the 2019 3 series looks like a lexus
And btw this is how an f80 should sound like th-cam.com/video/l3pFVBF0I_U/w-d-xo.html
@@MM-su4gu yea, the inside looks cool. the front looks alright. not as aggressive looking. and the back is a lexus lol
Taurus Baurus yeah and people say the front looks like a Peugeot lol. And do you think an f80 should sound like that ☝️
Still feel that way about waiting for depreciation? 😂😂

I really wish they would have made this generation of M3 with an all wheel drive option...I know I’m definitely in the minority but when you live somewhere with snow you don’t even think about these types of cars.
Agreed. I feel like the next generation one will be awd
Then buy the rs4 or a 335/340i. I wish people would leave the m cars alone.
@@LegendInThaMakin we don't get the rs4 here. And the 330/340 is not the same level of performance. It's inevitable that the M3 is gonna be awd, M5 just went to it. And it's bmw making the decision, not "us"
EddieX The B58 340I is a car everyone sleeps on. With the right tunes and other performance modifications you could make it a 400 HP AWD car very easily.
EddieX I honestly think it’s better to go with the same AWD system as the F90 M5 because you can switch to RWD if people so choose.
The f80s look so sick. I just think they lack sound. Everything else is solid!
Very much agree! It loses out to the Alfa and amg
@@EddieX agreed!
Catless downpipe turns it into a whole different car
Still doesn't sound close to that AMG muscle and Ferrari made engine in the Alfa.
Sounds like a lawn mower on startup
Do more videos like this
I will try to!
0:42 open the valves, its on efficient mode!
Eddie man whatyaaa doinnnn to mee mann 😂😂, “ this thing barely has rear wheel traction” don’t tell me that I’ll go buy one tmwrr😂😂
Outstanding review Eddy. Thanks!
I have a 2018 m3 cs and i love it.
These cars are mild and are meant to be tuned. For less than $1k you can get a Stage 2 tune, suspension coding, and you have a completely different car.
Really good job on this video! Also helps that I’m really considering one of these cars!👍🏻
Gerald Zimmerman haha yes, let’s hope these depreciate like a rock once the new 3 series and M3 comes out!

Single turbo or equal length exhaust fix it, search it up
The color combination is fire ! That lake Michigan hill looks like you could fall there ...
You can default the car to display M heads up through the iDrive - Choosing M1 & M2 .
I discovered that in my M3.
Always do a cold start with the exhaust-flaps open. The difference is night and day😉thank me later.
Ps:for those that don’t know, switch on ignition (hit start button once) , then switch drive ve mode from efficient to sport or sport-plus, blip the throttle (you should hear the exhaust valves opening up). Press down on brake and hit Start button.
I always get so hyped when someone does a cold start... this was not the case -_-
Love the F80, that spec is near perfect.
I love the spec. with tints it would be perfect. What would you change?
@@EddieX not too fond of the tail lights, other than that....
@@EddieX The exhaust, sounds like a lawnmower (especially on cold starts)
th-cam.com/video/l3pFVBF0I_U/w-d-xo.html 👈 this is by far the worlds best sounding f80
Nice to see you around again w some bmw content!
Those wheels look like a homage to the basketweaves that my e30 has
Can’t quite understand how a car can be as good looking as this.
I’m an Audi fan but this M3 got me wanting to switch. 😍😍😍
Do it!!
Sick video bro👍that cold start was underwhelming, otherwise that m3 is such a champion💪
Prefer the M4 since I have an S5 but these are in the top 3 for best looking sports see ads along with the s7
That cold start sounded like a PRIUS!!! haha
That's a pretty big exaggeration lol. I know it's doesn't great but not that bad hahaha
REALLY AWESOME CAR!! That v8 is a lot of power for small car like that.
Dr Vince's Garage **I6 TT
Dream car, nice review.
Nice video.. bro I personally wish you had the old bmw's, only because of the sound.
Yea that’s the one thing I don’t like with the 3 series, they want you to buy a 5 series for all that doors. My 08 550i has all doors with comfort access. My moms x3 also doesn’t have the rear doors with comfort access.
So strange.
If the comfort access for the backseat is a deal breaker, you're buying an M car for the wrong reasons.
Love your "Living With" videos. Subscribed! Need more
Great review
Thanks!
Please do more living with reviews. One on the LC500 would be appreciated.
Yea I dislike how big cars are getting too, that’s why i love the size of my e46
E46 is a nice size!
I have a Z4M coupe, same engine as yours modded too 370hp in a smaller car :) awesome engines.
Keep the reviews coming...good work
Beautiful car!
I agree!
Excellent job. Liked and subscribed.

Nice video Eddie!
Thank you!
Small lake was Glen Lake
The loss of weight is good you. I’d take adaptable suspension over the manual ones in the older cars anyway.
Dude, you lost a gang of weight!
Trying to! Thanks
That cold startup sounds horrible, lol.
Maybe one day when I want a legitimate grocery getter, I'll get an M3 :P
You had the fckin valves closed during the cold start! >:(
Yoo I'm from Leland about 20 minutes from tc! You gotta go out there and check out the roads
Ya I like this type of video than your other videos. Like living with a car. Likes and dislikes.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll make more
EddieX agreed!
That moment when your radar detector was trying to warn you
I was doing the speed limit at the time I think haha.
You know what’s steep? The price on that BMW
EDDIE HAS A GIRLFRIEND?! REVIEW HER
I think he said boyfriend
perfect review just in time actually as I'm looking at either getting a GT350 or f80 as my next daily.

looking good eddy, do more videos
Thanks! I will!
He was saying thay it rides kinda harsh. It's literally lowered lol
Should mention what year that f80 is. Looks like a 17 or 18 lci model. Which would explain that burble in sports plus mode. Great review tho
Bro can I borrow your car for a little bit forever 😂✌️ love that car 💪👌
coldstart! goodone eddie :)
Well the engine was cold and I started it :P
Lol..lets go for a drive babe..
Yeah great!
...I'll just do some filming as well
What!?
What..
Hey eddie great vid. How does this car compare to an s4 dual pulley? Performance, comfort, sound ect
I need this beauty
Me too
Are you starting to fall in love with it ?
Yes lol.
Great video, That M3 is pretty much the perfect spec in my opinion
Also How’s your S4 doing? Haven’t seen it in a while
Thanks! I agree. S4 is still great, about to stop up for winter snow duty. Drove it to work today!
That car deserves to be parked in the garage 😫
Lol the R8s were in there
EddieX a list of things I wish I could say:
1. The R8s were in there..
😫😫😫
Where do you work btw? You graduated in Mechanical Engineering didn’t you?
Absolutely loved the video btw!
On a cold start the car sounds like an air compressor... not exiting
Why do people leave the valves CLOSED. This is why these cars get slammed for their sound on TH-cam with these reviewers 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Please go to later in the video. Plenty of audio clips with the valves open in sport plus mode.
Why does the cold start sound like a generator?
The exhaust kinda sounds like an old “snapper” push mower.....
i really want a f80 m3 in austin yellow im waiting until more come for sale used
Great video! Did BMW loan you the car?
Nope. Private vehicle. Not a manufacturer car
...I'm liking it,...but can't buy a car that doesn't have a sunroof! No way....
Does this have a carbon fiber driveshaft?
The M Logo In the Seat should Say M3 not m Right?
I would take a regular m3 if I could with out the carbon ceramic brakes.
You can!
Not a fan of the exhaust. Great car though
Such a cool car and love that red interior, but ordering one of these with the auto transmission is so utterly absurd to me.
ok
Rear fender flares....mmmm
no offend, but you look pretty like a chipmunk driving an M3!! cool!!
C'mon Helen... M3!

How would the m3 handle in the snow/ice? Good daily?

M3 or an i8?

I8 for me! But I've experienced owning the i8 now, time to try the M3
