Ultimate Driving Experience - M Car Control
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I have the following spec on order with a Week 26 build date: M3 Competition AW/Full KO Exec Package Park Assist Carbon Bucket Carbon Exterior Extended Shadowline Red Calipers This event was the first time I've seen the car in person... Exterior Impressions This car looks great in all the colors that were at the event. The configurator doesn't really do any of them justice in my opinion. I was really impressed with SPY and nearly grabbed the phone to change my spec (didn't end up doing it in the end). The car has an impressive presence. Strong and aggressive. Interior Impressions Leather: I sat in KO, YMB, and Black. All three were great. They also had Silverstone but I wasn't in that vehicle. Seats: I really wanted to sit in the carbon buckets since I ordered them and was fortunate enough to ride in them for my entire seat time. They're really great and I'm so happy I ordered them. In the limited seat time I had I'm of the opinion they were more comfortable than my current F98 Comp. Getting in and out is a bit tricky but worth it for me. Trim: Carbon fiber everywhere and it was great. Driving Impressions Grinning ear to ear the entire time. Strong engine response. Impressive breaks (yes they were carbon ceramic - no I didn't order them). Grip was excellent and each car I was in had the P0s. I'd be happy with them on my car and I'm sure that's what I'll end up with. From the limited time I had with them they were predictable and I wasn't feeling like I had a lack of traction that I didn't induce myself. Overall a great experience. Some photos of what was there are included. Now I need to wait (the hardest part)... |

Agree with all the points here. I decided against SPY and IOMG because I thought it would be too loud and obnoxious, but in person they look so good.

I love every aspect of the G80 (accept the front you know what) & that IOM green is awesome.

I only did the regular autocross (in the m440) which was fun, but the M experience looked like a blast. Only found out about it a few days prior so took what I could get! Definitely want to sign up for next time. I'm surprised dealers don't advertise this at all.

All had the ceramics. I'd say just over half had the carbon buckets.

I looked it up and all Philly, DC and Boston events show
"Hour and a half of BMW Professional Driving Instruction in the BMW M440i xDrive Coupe." None of them say anything about M3/M4... do I assume the M3s/M4s will be there? |

Talking about waiting aford for your build, I have been waiting for over 1 yr for the G83 to be officially announced after my 2021 F83 options was affected by the COVID factory shutdown that I declined to take delivery. Otherwise, great write up. 👍

I would never post publicly that you support Gang Green, it's like the Saints of the 1990's.
