The GTS 4.0 is also a consideration but I have the same concerns about the price.

I did ask around about the the GTS 4.0 ... no allocations available yet (car is not even EPA rated apparently) but dealers are taking deposits. Pricing gonna be very "take it or leave it" is the feeling I got.

The design, and S58.
But I’ll wait for the reviews, I won’t buy if it’s as insanely stiff as X3M that I test drove.

The look is still lukewarm to me, but growing. My state also doesn't require front plates thankfully.
I've moved to a climate where snow will be a much bigger issue than it has been for me in the past, so I need AWD. Another of my "must haves" after missing out on it in my 335is and M4 are ventilated seats. I was looking at getting an RS5 if they have ventilated seats in the new 2020. Now that I know the new G82 has both AWD and ventilated seats, I'm sold. I love my M4 so this will be a good continuation and upgrade. I was very close to getting an X4M but the more I thought about it, I just couldn't imagine a car like that being one I'd want to just jump in for a weekend drive. |

Short of it being a 10-sec car with just a tune, I don't have much more to contribute. I passed on the F80 since it didn't do anything for me coming from an E92 M3. The G80's incredible interior, improved sound, about ~500whp stock, manual (less power not a main concern) and bucket seats bring me back to the E36 M3 era with the Vader seats. It's almost a mini-M5 with the best an M3 can offer.
So, nostalgia. That's why.

I have not decided that I will buy one but just recently picked up a 718 GT4 which is my weekend/track car so this would be a daily type practical car. I certainly don’t expect the G to deliver the caliber of experience or performance of a high rev, manual transmission car that is well under 3200 lbs. It would be for when I need the space and AWD.
I need to see the G80 in person. The grills and entire front look uninspiring in the photos, but the rest looks good. I also want to see pricing because I have a fundamental problem with a 90/100/110K M3 since they don’t retain value well, but leasing would be an option since BMW does heavily pump the programs, massive discounts and artificially high residual with low money which is advantageous for buyers. |
