I like where the channel is headed! You seem like you have a good head in your shoulder. We need More cars like this on the channel please! Cara from 2008-2018 was the best era.
Man, I can totally relate! I've been in a YAS F80 since 2021 too, and you're spot on-it’s such a killer all-arounder that holds its own with almost anything. I’ve resisted modding mine as well, and honestly, it’s been fun enjoying it as is. Same here with Porsche plans once the kids are a bit older. Loved hearing your thoughts on the new car scene, and I feel that frustration too. Been running my channel focused on used sports car reviews since 2018-seems like we’re on similar paths!
I'm an F82 Competition owner and agree with all the points you raised. The interior is lifted to a whole different level with the full extended leather, I came from a 430i before I bought the M4 and when I test drove F82's without the extended leather and without the carbon it didn't feel very special inside at all. My biggest bug bear is, as you highlighted, the harsh ride. I have the 20" 666m wheels and on british roads they are a nightmare even on this adaptive suspension set up when on the back roads. I spend a lot of time trying to locate and eliminate the latest squeak or rattle in the cabin because the car is slowly shaking itself to pieces. I don't mind the gearbox, it's just a case of learning how it works, plenty of videos on TH-cam. I think the car is absolutely stunning to look at, subjective I know but the F series are in perfect proportion from whatever angle you look. Like you I'm finding it increasingly difficult to get excited about new cars and every time I jump in mine it puts a grin on my face providing the road surface is decent. Your interior is beautiful, the generic black interiors are so uninspiring. I have San Marino blue with Silverstone interior which takes a bit of looking after but it's worth it. I like the direction you're going with your channel, older cars are more interesting and also more attainable for a lot of people.
Welcome back! The F80/82 is a great generation of M cars. Personally I’d go for a manual example (how many manual sedans are even available these days?). Insightful overview from an ownership experience, and I appreciate the perspective. Why not consider a suction cup mounted roof box?
Not sure about the suction cup roof box. I've not heard much feedback from F80 owners. But if I ever need one, I'd probably go for the roof racks that clip on the inside of the door
Great video - I think the reasons the F series are so desirable versus the G, aside from the obvious looks, are it’s DSG gearbox and it’s raw feeling overall. Perhaps imperfections, but the essence of an occasion.
I’m surprised you don’t like the G… looks very aggressive and I’m sure it drives fantastically… not to mention the carbon buckets and all the new tech… if I had the wonga I’d get the G over the F in a heart beat!
Ohh man I just bought my first M car (F83) and I was not well prepared. Only had it for 4-5 weeks. Harsh ride (wife hates it), strange gearbox features, plus need to learn how to learn how to use the DCT manual mode. At the same time it is the fun part of figuring out how to drive it. More car than I bargain for. I love it to pieces though.
I had a F83 M4 Convertible for 4 years and from my POV the DCT gearbox was one of the best features of the car. I couldn't give a flying f*ck in a high wind about no park mode or whatever, the shifts in the DCT are absolutely lightning fast, which is the thing you do with a gearbox the most. I've got a G87 M2 now and the gearbox is noticeably worse, there's a 0.3-0.4 second delay on the shifts which can disconnect you from the car a little. I loved my M4 it was the best car I've ever owned, but I personally wouldn't have another one as the design language is based on MY2011 which means it has 13 year old styling at this point, which I guess is fine if you're buying one for around 25k. But each to their own, it's still a great car and always will be.
nice video.i had m3 f80 tanzanite blue fully loaded ,carbon etc. Vorsteiner alloys 20s on eibach 510hp.sold because needed money,miss it still.and if could would buy again f80 instead of newer m3..
I 100% agree with you. All the new cars are not interesting anymore, and nobody cares about electric cars. I think it would be cool if you could do reviews on some classic cars or even future classics. For instance your lexus lc500 video was great to watch and very underrated. Basically we want to see enthusiast cars. Also, I 100% agree with your opinions on the F vs G series ;)) Ps congrats on the M3, beautiful interior choice! //F87 Comp owner
It’s a dual clutch.. it’ll disengage when at a stop.. it behaves just like a manual! You won’t hold the clutch pedal down continuously if waiting for longer periods you’ll burn it out.. DCT just does it seamlessly in the background
I'd love to buy a m3f80 but i'm not a car mechanic and can't judge in what shape they are.. models with 50-90k km are like 60-80k and over 100k km they are still above 50k.. is it just a gamble or is there a way to make sure the car will run for many years?
Well I have an M4CS & a M4 comp cab F82/83…. Love them both. Great cars, personality I prefer these models to the G-platform. Never had any issues with either, saying that neither car has done more than 6k miles wise.
M140i or M340i has a less harsh drive tham M cars and for town, motorway, " sweeper" B roads driving, its more than adequate for most drivers seeking spirited driving. The truth is, unless you are tracking an M car, you will rarely tap into more than a fraction of their capability- this underused aspect of M cars can be a frustrating characteristic
I dissagree with your second point. You won't necessarily need to go to a track to exploit this car. If you live in the UK and go further out of the big cities, you can find quite a lot of roads that are perfect for these cars. On a track I think you'll find that this is not really a track car. The brakes are the first thing that will tell you that :D
Not sure what you’re complaining about the F80 None of these things matter to a proper M car customer As you said that’s the last good generation, after that Slug boxes ugliness and heavyweights
I have a f82 2015bmw with nearly 147,000 on it sane battery dct trans water pump alternator etc....one of the best cars I've ever owned and yes it's stage 2 100octane tuned and I installed pure turbos on it as well should be around 700flywheel hp.....and no fuckin crank hub replaced ever. Marinate on that for a moment 😅😅😅😅
Bro.. you're driving a manual with no pedal. The DCT is a bad boy tranny and it was ruthless in the e92.. you're complaining about a sport button, when you have the daddy M button.. seriously? And roof racks... lol.. come on, dude. Press that ///M button and let that car sing!
Modifying my BMW (F80) M3. Too much?!

yeah, unfortunately I would've loved a set of 20s, but after experiencing the ride with the 19s, I think I'll stick with them for a while :D
Glad you popped up. Nice review on the car. I have an f82 m4. I agree with everything

I wanted a manual, but there's not a lot available. And the ones that had a manual, they cost 15 to 20% more, unfortunately
Not sure about the suction cup roof box. I've not heard much feedback from F80 owners. But if I ever need one, I'd probably go for the roof racks that clip on the inside of the door
the spec is absolutely FANTASTIC
Great video - I think the reasons the F series are so desirable versus the G, aside from the obvious looks, are it’s DSG gearbox and it’s raw feeling overall. Perhaps imperfections, but the essence of an occasion.
yeah, that DSG transmission... I can't believe they ditched it for the M cars and just replaced it with a regular automatic. Baffling decision
Weight!! The G got too heavy with all the modern tech so a DCT would have made it a 2000kg car.. maybe even more
I'd bet it's cost savings. Having the same transmissions for all their cars is a massive cost saver.
I’m surprised you don’t like the G… looks very aggressive and I’m sure it drives fantastically… not to mention the carbon buckets and all the new tech… if I had the wonga I’d get the G over the F in a heart beat!
I remember when you had the 240i. Good to see the channel back

This 👍🏽
I now that mud flap ain't sports car but rally car , but also saves the cars side profile paintwork. Nice return 👏
You should see just how much dirt they store underneath them, that you just can't clean when they're installed.
Great video and beautiful car, much prefer the concept of reviewing used cars not the new stuff.
Glad to see you back
nice video.i had m3 f80 tanzanite blue fully loaded ,carbon etc. Vorsteiner alloys 20s on eibach 510hp.sold because needed money,miss it still.and if could would buy again f80 instead of newer m3..
Bine ai revenit in peisajul auto !
Where the hell have you been? One of the Best YT dudes out there.
Did you see the intro? 😁 Life happened :)
Great video, subscribed. Agree with you about the F generation cars, have an F82 M4 after 5 previous F generation cars. Can’t stomach the G’s.
I've heard from a lot of F series owners, that the G series is a tough sell for them
O plăcere să te vedem din nou 👍
I 100% agree with you. All the new cars are not interesting anymore, and nobody cares about electric cars.

Ps congrats on the M3, beautiful interior choice!
//F87 Comp owner
I'd love to film some classic cars, but it really depends on the owners of those cars :D
It does infact have crawl mode, you have to blip the accelerator once whilst in drive, it'll crawl from there...
Like I've said, it doesn't crawl unless you blip the accelerator. Unlike any other automatic transmission.
@TunedIntoCars oh my bad, must have missed that, but yeah pretty much like you said then
It’s a dual clutch.. it’ll disengage when at a stop.. it behaves just like a manual! You won’t hold the clutch pedal down continuously if waiting for longer periods you’ll burn it out.. DCT just does it seamlessly in the background
great choice yas marina blue + sahkir orange!
thanks! but that's not the sakhir orange interior, it's amaro braun. They are quite different in real life
Kudos, love that interior.
All your issues are addressed by the GTS / CS flash

how are those cars so expensive? where do you live? That's more than twice what I paid for mine....
@@TunedIntoCars in switzerland, if you configurate a g80 at the dealership its between 130-155k 🫠

I'm not complaining about anything. How about yourself? You seem a bit upset
@@TunedIntoCars I've never tried to put a roof rack on any m car I had
I'm not upset btw
plenty of people put roof racks on m-cars. Not me, but there's a lot others
Hello. Great video. What size spacers are they please?
They are pretty aggressive. I know for sure they are 20mm at the front and the rear is either 15 or 20
@ That’s good. Thank you for your response. I was thinking either 10mm or 12mm front and rear for me, I have same wheels
