Do you regret buying your G80/G82?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Since ordering it however, I can't help but notice the never ending stream of negative comments on the way it looks. I still have an opportunity to pull out, and so I was wondering for those that have followed through with their purchase, do you regret it? Are you faced with a constant stream of negative comments among enthusiasts? |

Who cares what others think? At the end of the day, it's your money and your opinion that counts.
Enjoy your new car and stay excited. |

I've ordered mine in OCT and the excitement hasn't left. I don't care if I'm the only person on the planet that buys it. I love this machine and no one's lame opinion is going to ruin my experience for me.

Tbh the negative comments don’t bother me because I personally think the car looks great. If the comments bother you, maybe you’re on the fence and are relying on what other people think to push you over, in which case you should not buy the car. But it really is a lot of car for your money.

So why would you care what others think or say if you really like the vehicle.
Also by posting this question in a G80 forum, the answers are going to be pretty straightforward. |

And you're right re the audience, and certainly there's going to be a bias here, but who better to tell me it's a non issue than people who have put their money where their mouth is (which I suspect a lot of the people with negative comments don't have - money that is - I'm sure they have a mouth). |

It doesn't seem like you actually want an M3. It sounds like you want whichever car others are talking about at that moment.
If you love it then other opinions shouldn't matter. |

Ad hominem - not necessary. I paid a lot of money for it which I wouldn't have done if I didn't want it. I think there's a difference between "not caring" what others think, and an incessant negative talking point that wears you down. It's the latter part I'm trying to get a feel for.

Most people who throw bricks are the ones who cant afford the vehicle. Some also include owners of previous generation M3s and thats pretty common whenever a new platform comes in. That same crowd is going to praise this platform once the next gen hybrid comes it. |

I swore I'd never get into the new models and wait for something else. I lasted a whole year , and now seeing the carbon bucket seats + x drive it's hard to to ignore it for much longer and so I pulled the trigger. I'm definitely not a fan of the G82 , the rear end for me is way too Infiniti but that's my opinion. I recall a long time ago when everyone hated the E92 and now it's " the last true M" lol just goes to show you can't ever listen to anyone. So with that being said , if you do a lot of car meet ups , expect people who can't afford the car to begin with to approach you and voice their opinions to you on the look of the front lol. |

You know what does wear on me is the wait, I'm not 100% I'm going to make it to be honest. If an interesting one pops up I would probably grab it. |

Don't give a flying fuck about what others think about the car I'm driving.
However, I will say that so far anyone that has said something about the car in person has actually loved it and thought it looked great. Of course you are less likely to get negative comments face to face than you are via someone over the internet…but still, I can tell that the in person comments have been genuine as it is unsolicited feedback.

Sounds like you're looking for a crowd pleaser, something to show off and get everyones nod of approval on. You'll never find that. If you drove the car and liked what is to offer, then what does it matter if someone else doesnt like the styling? If you like it, and the rest of the car, what is there to be worried about?

My car is currently in production...no regrets at all, just an occasional second guessing of my color choice but that's just my own personal indecisiveness about these sort of things.

In the flesh the G80/82 is a huge crowd pleaser. I think you will be thoroughly surprised by the response. Regardless, it’s all about how you feel when you look out your window and see your car sitting in your driveway. It’s all about how you feel when your accelerating down the highway. I would stick to your gut feeling, the feeling that initially helped you make the decision to order the most popular/talked about M3 ever. Congrats and I look forward to the pics of its arrival!
