Yes I felt this boaty and bloated feeling while test driving an F80 M3 years ago. I'm not a fan of cars that weigh nearly 4,000 pounds. Ended up with a OG M2. At least the M2 is smaller in length and drives smaller.

Yup, and coming from something that weighs 3000 lbs (996GT3), the M2 felt HUGE and heavy at first...wish the M2CS was under 3000 lbs and I wish BMW would make a real driving car for once...

The 340i sounds crap there. Yet everyone says they sound “better”

So the M3&4 will come with up to 510PS / 503BHP so has finally caught up with the C63S.
Let's hope the weight has been kept down, as that's one area where the F80 scored over the Mercedes-AMG.

Sounds just like my F80 competition maybe even quieter.

I'm holding off final judgement until I see it in the flesh. I was hoping this would be a daily replacement for my current E92.

Why is the majority of this video containing Porsches and a minivan? Lol I mean it's fine and all, the Porsche is more interesting than the bucktooth grilled M4, but still.

I have noticed in many 'amateur' videos of G80s on the ring that I find myself thinking "wow, that sounds awesome", only to realize that the exhaust I was hearing wasn't the BMW, but the Porsche (or something more exotic) that was coming up behind it. The "spy" videos that are carefully edited to have just the BMW clips in them I usually find myself thinking sound completely "meh!". Perhaps BMW should interleave *more* minivans in the clips they post? |

Am I the only one holding out hope for more colors? The palate we've heard about seems.... underwhelming? Although I am interested in frozen portimao if it's close enough to the froze blue on the current CS...

You're not alone! Tanzanite Blue is what I'm mostly interested in ATM, but I'd like a few more options including another interesting blue.

Yea not crazy on the colors... Since I already had a Tanzanite F80 and Alpine White M2, I'm leaning towards BSM or even Portamao. I wish Silverstone or Hockenheim Silver were available.

Even in the AWD version of the G80, weight will still come in under that of the current c63s since it would be a rather massive fail if the heaviest version of the new M3 exceeded 4,000 lbs.
