How about its weight, light (relatively) and looks? What's so unique about the G80 as an M3? It can't be its weight.

Did you test drive the 1st year release of the F80?

"Over the years, tweaks to the BMW's chassis and drivetrain calibration helped, but it wasn't until the M3 Competition version arrived that the F80 M3's potential was finally realised. Despite the 19bhp power bump, the Competition's tweaks were so successful that BMW eventually dropped the standard version, leaving just the Competition and the rare, expensive CS available when production came to an end in 2018."

I had a first year M4 and didn't find issue with it. I can't really tell much difference between my '15 M4 and my '17 M4. Neither were/are Comp models; the latter is an individual build though.
