After what seems like an eternity, (Read 6 Months) My Individual Nardo Grey G80 M3 has arrived. While I appreciate BMW for introducing Nardo-Ish standard colors for the G8x, the only proper replacement for my Indiv. Nardo F80 would have to be a proper Individual Nardo Grey G80. Main reason being Nardo (LY7C) Grey is a non-metallic and both factory options are metallic. The G80 will also share the garage with my Nardo Grey E36 M3 so having them in matching shades of Gloss Primer was essential...
My Outgoing F80 and E36 M3. Amazing combo but when I saw the updates made to the G80 I knew I needed one for myself. The F80 was an incredible car for the entire 60,000Mi that I owned it. Despite the DCT being incredibly fast and responsive, the driving experience always seemed to be lacking some connection between car and driver. With 1000HP Electric Teslas and every new generation of Mclaren pushing closer and closer into rocket ship territory, being fastest is not only unobtainable but now reaching a point where the cars cannot be taken advantage of or enjoyed on public roads. For this reason I chose to go 6 speed manual this time around.
Delivered dirty and still in the wrapper just as requested and loaded straight onto the tow truck. The car will not see a mile on the road until it's PPF'd and protected inside and out. It will be covered in XPEL Ultimate Plus from head to toe.
Looks pretty good next to the E36. Unbelievable the size difference between the two! Initial impressions are WOW BMW has made some major improvements since the F8x Chassis. Overall fit and finish is far better than the outgoing car and the technology and UI is a major upgrade. Touchscreen IDrive should have been introduced 2 generations ago but better late than never. No driving impressions as of yet but I am expecting great things based on what I have heard so far and how much I loved my F80. This will be a forever car for me and I look forward to enjoying it for years to come. First round of upgrades will include XPEL PPF, Tint, AST lowering, PSI Midpipe, and 20/21" Monoblock wheel upgrade.
