The M-XDrive is near unanimously praised for being best of all worlds.


Do you think if I reply to every single one of these threads and comments with a cliched “If only they’d let us have it with a manual” eventually BMW will give in?

I mean I’m trying hard here…

Ev s are a joke . What are they really meant for ???
Here in the UK we have ultra low emissions zones ULEZ .. This is supposed to help the environment. Older cars are being forced off the roads ....new ulez compliant cars are getting more expensive to buy ..
The next dirty trick will be AND is announced that we will PAY PER MILE next . So.... what benefits really has an EV? FASHION ! THATS all .
Economic? No ! The whole system is currpt .Motoring is dying ...
As for real M cars .... I love the m340 I and d
The m850i.... matter in fact ... I like them all.
Replica Gucci sun glasses are still great ! Id buy a pair.

I’m not a huge fan of EVs and will continue to burn dinosaurs until it’s physically impossible, BUT a M3 EV with four electric motors sounds pretty cool.

Is there any irony in the fact that the current gen M3 is the closest we've ever gotten to an EV?

The heaviest, AWD, least involving gearbox and most insulated? Again, granted... its obviously not an EV but next gen is hybrid and after that?

For the last gen of ICE cars, I would keep things as bespoke as possible... i.e. DCTs, lighter and rawer... we are not trending in that direction anywhere except maybe Porsche GT cars which we all have to pay the piper for.

If the G82 CS does what the CS did for the F82, you'll have a winning car on your hands. As a prior owner for two F82s and an F80, I absolutely adore my CS. It really does feel like a much more special car, and I believe how the F82 should have come in the first place.

That's a serious shame the new CS won't get the trick updated taillights. OLED is still the best though.

I just put a 1k deposit down for a 2025 G82 CS to replace my 21 G82 comp…

Prices of F82 M4cs are not much different from Comp or ultimate pack F82 as we speak in Canada. They are even lower sometimes. The hood is pretty much the nicest difference...

Note that if you add these numbers and the 34K of F80s, you do get the 111K stated in the article.

So it seems the G80 has already caught the F8X gen and we still have 4 more years of production? Gonna be a a sale record by a huge amount. Should be great for aftermarket.

I don't think it's going to feel as dynamic as the F82CS because of the AWD + ZF8. It's going to be fast for sure and curious how it turns and even what ppl who track there cars have to say about the G80CS too.

Ok? Sounds like a great deal for the folks up there!

…

The e36 M3 had an available 5 speed slush box auto, that was better? I’d also note EV’s are known for low end torque, which model is known for that you think?
