I’m from the mountain states, and found the exact f80 spec (almost) I wanted, low miles in Arkansas. Wanted white, got a metallic dark gray… it’s grown on me. The previous owner took incredible care of it. I’ve never been happier with a car. It’s an absolute gem. Great video.
Taking delivery of a Yas Marina Blue M4 Comp package with a manual transmission tomorrow! The only thing off your list where I may have dropped the ball is the PPI, the car was in Texas and I hired the first company I found on google in that area. I bought the car without ever seeing it, but photos and the PPI made it look good. Guess Ill have to find out tomorrow!
Bought a 2018 with 36k miles modded and have no regrets.....car is an absolute beast and all the "mods" would have easily ran me $20k+. Just gotta research and make sure you know what you're getting into.
I have a e92 m3 2008 VF supercharged with 130k no issue. My friend has a m3 f80 100k miles.These motor can last if taken care right honestly. So don’t try to run with high milage. Mines was highway driven and only had to do a alternator , rod , throttle A. Just don’t forget to do your digging
You have got it all wrong.. you should be buying the car for you! Iv not bought my f80 to keep it low miles for the next owner or fussed about the colour or interior.
Very common to have a clean carfax but still body damage/repairs, happened to me on my last car which was bought from reputable Carmax. Accidents only show on carfax if the accident was reported to cops and/or submitted to insurance.
I have a G80 M3 and people are already running with piggy back tunes, like JB4 and racechip. These types of mods go undetected, especially by an average Joe.
I'm not too keen on your mileage concerns. 40-50k miles on a car is like 3 years of driving to me. That's pretty new... 10-12 oil changes? That's really nothing lol.
As someone from Orlando and who came across your video while researching F80’s I will vouch, “off lease only” is trash! You use them for banger cars not for actual high value cars. 95% of their cars are crashed cars lol.
Rule #1 for buying your dream car, do not by a car in Florida. Their laws make it very very easy to re-title even dangerously unsafe salvage nightmares so they will show a clean carfax.
You say it's bargain and then complain about paint? Dude, every black car that is used has scratches under a light. Detailing costs $500 and it will be like new. Congrats on your M3. And honestly manual would be trash, it needs auto, and M3 CS is only auto for a reason.
In '18 I found what I wanted, a '11 e90 M3 in Interlagos Blue, black interior, sunroof and JUMPED to get it without seeing it in person. I put my trust in a broker who fu*ked me! Never again! After owning it for 5 years and still dealing with the issues that the broker neglected to address I sold it. Perhaps if would have got it without the issues I would still own it. Having it for 5 years and having 5 years of problems that I didn't anticipate it wore on me and soured me. Next time...I will take my time and insist on seeing the car in person and taking it on a PPI.
Well since it is Winter here in MA it might be a little tough for drag racing and racing! HOWEVER, I do plan to add some power soon with the expiration of my warranty! Stay tuned!
idk who in theyr right mind would buy an m3 not to slide it constantly and want to sell it after. stg in a year id add 40k miles ez. literally my dream car, she gotta be abused just a lil bit
I told everybody in my country everything that I want is not a dream there is nobody that will give me a job so I can't have a nice car m3 is a good choice have a good year
Couple points here. 1) If you're buying the car for resale, don't bother buying it. Buy what you like. If you're going to put 20k miles a year on your car, don't spend 8k more to get a 10k Mike car over a 25k mile car cuz either way in a yeart won't have that resale value. 2) ANY dealership will sell you a car with body work done and not tell you about it, whether CPO or not. Dealerships have shady salespeople, bottom line every time. Carfax is usually clean on newer cars because people would rather spend 2k in a body shop than have insurance go up and take go down from a parking lot incident. Your best bet is to find a private seller. It's harder to do, but they are less likely to lie to you about issues and now likely to actually know about issues since they owned the car, not a trade in from a dealer that never drove it.
Those are definitely good points. If you plan to keep cars for a long time I think it is definitely important to buy what you want. However, I have subscribed to the whole "Exotic Car Hacking" trend. Where you buy a car drive it for a bit (maybe a year) and then sell it before you lose any real money. However, someday I do plan to keep a car for a long time just haven't found the right vehicle yet. In regards to your second point you couldn't be more spot on. Carfax are garbage and don't tell you anything. Next time I will definitely either have a sharp detailer or bodyshop take a look at it. It takes so much longer but the time is worth it. Thanks for watching the video!
Was hoping I’d be able to make it to 2k subscribers before the end of the year, but it looks like that might not happen, LOL
Ya you might have to do like Thicc and pick up another 340. Bigger following for B58's right now imo. No bias here 😆
you will get there bro, videos great so far! Just subbed. The F80 is nice, I like the color, actual nice that its not another blue M3.
keep going

Love the White M3's! They look so nice! Couldn't agree more... Even without "all the wants" it is still an amazing car!
How much did you pay?
@@sebastianromero420 $45K, less than 26k miles. Brand new tires, break pads, and full service before transfer of title.
Once again another great video. Your structure and story telling is pure talent! I agree with your tips on what to look for in the F8X market!
Thanks so much!
Some great advice and thanks for your honesty. Not everyone would be so open about their mistakes.
Of course! Want to help other people to make better decisions than I did!
The quality of your videos have come such a long way. Keep grinding!
Thank you my man! More stuff is ahead!
your video has given me alot of confidence as i look to buy one this month
Glad it helped! Good luck! Prices are actually starting to come down!

GREAT Video Zay, INSIGHTFUL!
You didn’t miss anything by skipping the 6MT man. It’s cool and all but the transmission is just ordinary.
great video bro, you added some tips that I didn't consider. Keep grinding,
there is no such thing as good investment purchase when it come to buying cars. You’re buying a depreciating asset. Just buy what you
Great video
Ive always dri en a manual but i love my 2018 f80 zcp. Thats the thing make sure you get a COMP
Love the yas marina blue f80 in the beginning lucky owner!!!
My last car was a garage queen, 50k miles in 15yrs. Big difference with BMW's though, they are meant to be driven.
They certainly are meant to be driven!
But not for more than 100k miles 😂
You have got it all wrong.. you should be buying the car for you! Iv not bought my f80 to keep it low miles for the next owner or fussed about the colour or interior.
That is certainly a good point! I believe I will find my forever car, but my F80 is a step in my journey right now.

Thank you for this video brother very informative and also funny keep ‘em coming

10-12 oil changes? That's really nothing lol.
It really isn't at all, but I've noticed that F80 owners seems to find low mileage highly desirable.
40-50k miles on Civic is like new, but 40-50k miles on a M car that is being trashed daily, idk
Can you do a video about how you can upgrade from an m3 to a Audi R8. Or a basic on how you could upgrade yourself in the car market.
Of course!
As someone from Orlando and who came across your video while researching F80’s I will vouch, “off lease only” is trash!
You use them for banger cars not for actual high value cars. 95% of their cars are crashed cars lol.
Prolly gonna make the same mistakes. But at least I won’t b alone. Thanks a bunch for d vid. I can sleep a bit better now 🤣😅

Congrats on your M3.
And honestly manual would be trash, it needs auto, and M3 CS is only auto for a reason.
Got my f82 back in septiember for 57k with 17500 miles only but got it certified
Your last tip wasn’t clean enough.… jk lol very helpful tips ! New sub here

appreciate your honesty .
Been 7 months now and I still can’t find one.. two PPI and 10 dealership visits .. ugh.. it’s rough out there
Got a f82 not to long ago.. yay
@@greatness_arives925 congratulations 🍾
Thank you thank you my friend to give me good good advice I appreciate
These standard m performance brakes will start squeeling soon. I hate these brakes.
I know what you are talking about man! SO MUCH NOISE!
Hey Zay you making any drag racing or road coarse videos with the M3? That should draw some subs. Also what's the plans for more power?
Well since it is Winter here in MA it might be a little tough for drag racing and racing! HOWEVER, I do plan to add some power soon with the expiration of my warranty! Stay tuned!
Why aren't you in the movies... for some reason think you'd make a great actor👍
My girlfriend says the same thing
@@ZaysGarage Great minds think alike 🤣... Genuinely though,Remember me when it happens 👍
Two words - crank hub
good stuff!
Appreciate it!
Haha I see the x7
Hey! Great content. I own a YMB F80. My channel has similar content. Just subbed. Looking forward to your future releases.
How much did you buy the M3 for?
Stay tuned.. I will be disclosing this in a future video!
I see.. this is why he got that G80. He picked up a bad F80 and was never happy lol
Shoutout to you bro I couldnt have come across this video at a better time this helps alot with my search AND you from my area! #978
idk who in theyr right mind would buy an m3 not to slide it constantly and want to sell it after. stg in a year id add 40k miles ez. literally my dream car, she gotta be abused just a lil bit
No doubt about that! Have to have fun, but once you start driving these kind of cars there will be a point where you will want to upgrade!
@@ZaysGarage nah never that, ill just cough up the money to buy another car and keep my baby till it falls apart, its the only acceptable way
Facebook marketplace eww
I told everybody in my country everything that I want is not a dream there is nobody that will give me a job so I can't have a nice car m3 is a good choice have a good year
