Toronto Red G81 M3 with FR carbon seats

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Finally the red beast is here. I had previously an X-drive G80 M3, also Toronto red.

The seats are really great and makes the car feel quite special.
Very happy with the added practicality as I have a big dog i need to transport sometime.

Compared to the G80 the driving experience is pretty similar so far (seems like more compliant over bumps, but that could be the PS4S tyres) but i've not been able to push the car yet as still in the running in period. One downside to the G80 I had is ID8 interface which i don't like too much and the disappearance of the climate control buttons and hardware shortcut keys... So many touch required to just activate / deactivate heated seats for example, and if your partner tries to do so at the same time it screws everything up. The stupidest thing yet is that they'd have space to have most of the climate control on the bottom bar anyways, so why having to go into a dedicated menu to do anything is beyond the stupidest UI waste of space and practicality i've seen. Lots of rant for a what is a minor thing, so that means the overall package is pretty great

Very jealous we don’t get these in North America. An M5 Touring won’t be a concellation prize due to the size and facia. Beautiful car!

I also wish they offered these in North America. Is there really no demand for these (in NA) or are there other reasons they decide to not offer it here?

Love it BTW so nice !!!

Red on Black is always a great combo. Interior and seats are spot on! Nice!

It is stupid. Cant make more than one adjustment at once. It’s clear that drivers did not design this id8 GUI. Awesome car none the less; great color combo!!

Frank Keane or Joe Duffy? Also, we Irish chaps have another thing in common - we've both had our cars on the front page of Bimmerpost!
