Almost went fjord myself but my last 2 F80s were BSM/Sakhir so I kept the tradition.

Excellent choice and it will be here before you know it

Southern NH, 2021 M3C RWD…for now…going to go manual before they stop producing this gen but loving my above car since taking delivery… and still have only 12000 miles! TB2 on full silver stone, MSS HAS for now until KW v3, 15mm spacers all around, and just put on IS2000 break pads, highly recommend them

Do they squeal less than stock? I know that they all squeal but honestly it is ridiculous how much they squeal when cold. That along with less brake dust would be a welcome upgrade.

They haven’t squealed once and dust is easily 70% better

We have them all the time. Reach out to @MassG8x on Instagram and ask to be added to the group chat. We have a group with over 30 local G8x already.

We did a Lobster cruise this past Sunday and had about a dozen G8xs at the Babson Car Show a few weeks back.

We have events and group buys all the time. We even have a photographer who takes pics at our meets, lol. It’s an awesome group for Mass (New England) G8x owners.

Edit: DM this account https://instagram.com/massg8x


Mostly take videos but a few pics…

Need opinions. I am looking at a used 2022 BMW M4, it has 8k miles over 1 year driving, so low miles, half of what is typical (15k miles?). It has services including oil change and check on the battery charging system after approx 1 year. It also received 4 new tires prior to resale. This is not a certified preowned (most don’t seem to be unless miles are higher from what I have seen).

What do you think about the low miles, battery check, and tires change within 1 year. Are these red flags? Thank you

If it’s at a BMW dealer I’d expect it to be certified preowned or I’d be digging into why. One of the reasons I’ve heard they can’t certify it is if the break-in service wasn’t completed in a timely manner. That’s the only thing that would make me a little nervous.

Tires seem to be swapped a bit early but I’ve heard others talking about switching around 10k, so not crazy.

What’s the brake life like?

Good questions, the carfax says that brakes were checked but does not say pads changed.

Honestly I think it looks good, the only thing that flagged me was the 4 tire swap, but given its not certified I think that’s a good call for dealer to do for quick sale.

Less and less often do dealers certify these cars it seems

Is it at a BMW dealer? Break in service done correctly? Link to car? Not many people here are in the market so there’s no competition.

Nothing about what you described is inherently problematic. The car is still under warranty for a while (depending on in service date). I wouldn’t overthink it if it’s the spec you want.

Are you in the IG chat? One of our members is a CA at BMW Norwood so you might have got the car from him.
