Been a corvette/shelby owner for years. Picked up a m4 comp about a month ago after giving up my search for a new gt500. Absolutely love the car so far. First BMW ever for me..

Indeed surprised as well, Frankie.

Yes, welcome new M members.

It's my 3rd - went from a 2015 F82, to a 2013 E93 (which I'm keeping), to just picked up my TB G82.

i wasted many years in audi's thinking the s4 was the coolest 4 door on the market (couldnt afford an m5 and it was too big). always loved the m3 but never cared for their 4 door offering (the e90 m3 sedan was one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen, while the e92 was gorgeous).

Then audi stopped making a 6MT and my disposable income put me into the bracket to afford an F80 m3. it was the greatest weekend of my like, june 22, 2016 when i took delivery of a YMB F80. I was 34 years old.

Now i can afford a GT3 and i still bought a G80. I just f*cking love the brand.

Yeah, I had looked to see if any GT500s or ZL1 Camaros were around. Zip. A couple of Hellcat Chargers--not a 4 door fan, and one Challenger, white, which I don't like on any car that isn't a '92 Subaru Loyale...had one, btw, as winter beater in NH. Pos, but great in the snow. Happy with my M4C. Right decision.

It’s my first M car. My second BMW. I only bought it because they changed the design. I knew from research they improved the suspension and they changed the looks of it drastically as everyone knows. But unlike F80 owners I love the changes. When I decided I was going to buy an M car the first thing I thought I was going to get was the F80 M3. I test drove many of them. I could just not get over how rough they were plus it wasn’t even as fast as my tuned MB 2016 C450. So to me it would’ve been a downgrade to go from that Mercedes to the F80. Then my dealer told me about the G80. I read up on it and watched the BMW engineers describe the improvements to the suspension. Plus it was to have 503 hp! I was sold. I placed my order. Fully loaded. No regrets.

This feels much more like a complete car to me. It's not as fast as a z06 or gt500 but it does everything well from my perspective. Handling is top notch. The American cars usually only do a couple things well and then lack in other areas. I found shelbys but they were anywhere from 15-30k above msrp and I just couldn't justify that. I might be converted to M cars

I did not. I went back and forth on it and decided if I wanted it later I would get that and more with a Dinan tune when they become available for less money.

Nice! And you could afford a new GT3, but still bought a new M3? Wow! That's a BMW ad waiting to be written right there, Frankie.

Number 7 M car for me. 4th in 18 months. First one was in 2011.

[Beast_Mode_Wagon]

The G82 will be my 2nd M car.

My first M car was a E36 M3 (2 door version). I LOVED that car and to this day is still one of the only cars that I really regret selling. I promised myself that I would purchase another M car later in life. I kept delaying this decision year after year.

After the pandemic hit, I had a lot of time to do some soul searching so I decided life is way too short and that time is now. Just pulled the trigger recently on ordering a 2022 M4 (6MT) and I am so looking forward to owning and driving a M again. I ordered the Dravit grey because it was the closest color to my original M.

My wife and I are working on a baby so it was a good time to look at getting rid of my c63s AMG coupe and get into a 4 door. In looking at the main performance models (Alpha QV, Cadillac CT-5v, C63s/E63s, Audi RS5) I just could not get over the bold styling and mean stance of the G80 M3. Not to mention I am getting the xdrive where I know it can support any power mods I start to put on the car.

I previously had a 2016 M4 that I liked quite a lot; sold it a couple of years ago. I now have the 2021 M4 Competition and like it a lot although not a fan of the sport seats that came with it.

[filostrato]

Personally I’m coming from tuned Audi A4 -> P-car -> G80. First BMW and M

Mostly came to the brand for the practicality of 4 doors and holding the flame of 6MT. A few months into ownership and I’m very happy w the purchase. Design, value for performance, comfort... all wins.

Plus, it’s almost the Chevy SS that was too ugly for me to pull the trigger on!

[KiloCo]

This will be my first BMW M4 car I ever owned... So far the biggest hurdle has been getting an allocation ( in Southern California) to place the order....

[nws-511]

Yes, this will be my first M car.

I want your CF seats!

lets take this to the top as it seems we have had some deliveries since July.

[M3-san]

First M3 for me.

I've lusted after the M3 ever since the intro of the e30 in 1996. I had a few friends whose Dad's owned one form or another of M cars.

Funny enough, I've owned several BMWs (various 3 and 5 series), but I've never driven an M car. Including the 2022 Comp xDrive I purchased. When I pick it up, that will be my maiden voyage.

For me, the M3 is a bucket list item. And I'm finally in a position to own one. It's been a long wait.

[Jmpascual]

This is my first M car, I got mine in March
So far for me it's been:
2017 Honda Civic
2019 330i
2019 X5
2021 M4C
