Initially, I didn't like the G80. I wasn't sure about the grill from pictures, and I was disappointed that they moved from a DCT to the ZF8.
But I got the chance to test drive a 2022 M3 competition RWD recently and was instantly impressed. The torque increase over my F80 was immediately noticeable as was the handling, overall grip, and braking power.
Add in an interior that is much improved, a surprising appreciation for the ZF8, as well as my personal love for the overall appearance and I wanted to purchase the one I test drove. They wanted 15k over MSRP, so I passed and my hunt for an allocation began. I found one at sticker this week and I'm now at status 111 waiting for my new M3! Really excited to get the new beast after 7 years of owning an F80 as my daily driver.
