It's been a couple days now but I found my G80 all the way in Ohio and got it shipped to FL. Just to give a little background, as far as BMW goes I've had a 13' F30 335I and a 15' F36 435I GC. I've always wanted an M3 ever since I seen one back in 2016...I always said I was going to get one but never expected 2021 to be the year it happen.


First Impressions:

The grille- It was never a problem for me, I loved it from the moment the spy shots came out. I would remember reading the forums and guys would say BMW needs to do something different...I felt the same way so I was 100% on board when they did. In person it looks completely different in my opinion pictures seem to focus on the grille, in person it looks like it just flows with the rest of the car. I walked out of my parking garage early yesterday and there was a guy standing behind my car and he said "I don't know why people are making such a big deal about the grille, this thing looks aggressive...I love it" it was 7:30am lol he scared me a lil cause he popped out of nowhere. Anyway the grille is fine.



Driving-

Because of the 1200 break in period I haven't really drove it hard but from just the little pulls and popping it into "M1 and M2" mode...whew this thing is fast. Steering is really direct and the car feels planted. The ZF transmission actually to me feels way better than the DCT, a lot smoother...I can see where that can be a problem though if you've owned an F80, may think it's lost a little rawness. I have driven the F80 before as I work at a Bentley dealership and we've had a couple that I was able to take home and get a feel for it. Not a long time but still got a decent comparison. There is a slight lag in comfort but that's to be expected, in any other mode no real noticeable lag.



I'll edit this more as I get more seat time. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
