Third BMW, second M car. Had a 2013 135is, then a 2019 M2 Competition. Swapped my 2023 M2 allocation for a 2023 M3 about a month ago, currently in status 112. All three have been 6MT.

if i drive the rwd G80 and like it, it would be my 3rd M car and 7th BMW...

I've also driven every current gen M car on both a street and track w the exception of the G80 (of which i've only driven on the street). Also have driven the E90 and E46 on the street many times.

The only feedback i can give is that the G generation as a whole feels vastly different than the cars it succeeds... that can be either good or bad depending on where you sit.

It really seems that the polarizing beaver grill is not keeping away first time buyers...

First BMW
First M.

My car is 20 months old, now, and as much as I love it and what I’ve done to it, I’m exploring other avenues.

I’ve had BMWs in the family, growing up. My parents owned them, but after more than 3 decades of driving, I finally bought my own. I’d looked at and been interested in previous generations of M, but, I’d always purchased something else.

When the F8X debuted, I was all about it. Drove one, and bought a C7 manual, and a Type R. Got rid of both of those, and ordered my G82. It’s been a great ride, but, I have my eyes on the horizon. I drove a non Plaid Model S, last weekend, and even the non Plaid, accelerated so quickly, I was queasy for an hour. 7.7 60-130, but, I would still pony up for the big boy. 4.3 60-130. It would be nuts.

Of course I’m waiting for the CCBs to be available this summer. The tank is too much for the standard Brembos.

I drove the S and while it felt fast it didn’t feel ‘good’.

I think it will get there… but it isn’t there yet.

Over 60%, this possibly explains the conversations I have with G80 owners.

Me: “How do you like the G80?”
Them: “What?”
Me: “Your car, how do you like the G80?”
Them: “Oh, it’s a BMW not a Genesis”

We all have to start our BMW education somewhere😂
