G82 is night & day better. The driving dynamics are simply not comparable. Car has much more power, is substantially more refined, handles better, interior quality is better and has a much bigger presence on the road. It is just about better in every way.

With that said, the F8x will always have a special place in my heart. I truly enjoyed having them, and loved the rawness of them. I miss the power dome and the aggressive side mirrors. I also think the HK sound system in the F8x was better for some reason. Also I didn't really pay attention to it at the time but compared to the G82, the F8x was very good on fuel. Although I would happily give up MPG for faster 0-60 times any day of the week so I'm not complaining.
I agree.

Similar to you I had a 2016 M4 6MT non-competition and 2018 M3 DCT competition. I enjoyed both of these but find my current M4C better, much as you describe.

My only criticism of the M4C is its relatively restrained exhaust. Each of my F8x's had a BMW M Performance exhaust which sounded great. I will soon add a Remus axle back exhaust to remedy this.
