I don't mind "my" car losing to the CT5 by half a second considering the price difference, size difference between the two, gas mileage, etc... |

Damn, you guys are quick to post. I liked the video and love my "poverty speck" G80 even two and half years after I got it.

I read that TG had been canceled. Now I know why.

Top Gear UK is done.
Top Gear Australia however seems like it might capture some of that magic (fingers crossed). Comes to Paramoint+ in 2024.

I've driven both of these cars (well, the G82 which I own, not the G80, but still). I posted about my experience here: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=58
I've mentioned it several times, but for me, I would not have this car in anything but the manual transmission. I turned a corner somewhere between my 30s and crossing over that 40yr old barrier--and the proliferation of ridiculously quick appliances, err electric cars probably helped this--but I don't care at all about having the fastest version. The driving dynamics are what moves me these days, and rowing your own gears is an integral part of it.

Once M3 is only offered in Competition, I wonder if BMW will be kind enough to deliver an ECU update via iDrive to increase boost for G80 M3 owners to level up with Comp’s HP
That would be nice |
