B58 to S58 - '21 Isle of Man Green G80 M3 6MT vs '16 Estoril Blue II F30 340i 6MT

hk328 · 07-02-2021, 09:00 PM

Congrats! The green goes really well in this gen car. I usually don't think any green not great for any car. But this one seems special! Congrats again.

Great writeup and vid!
I ordered the same color combo down to the 826M bicolor wheels. Your post makes me all the more excited for it.
I also had a 340i 6MT with M-performance front lip and would scrape everywhere here in LA. Do you find clearance on the G80 to be better?

Oh yeah I still have my lowered 340i 6MT with the lip. I've gone through 3 lips driving in Philly!

The G80 has plenty of clearance right now stock. Not for long though. My H&R springs and spacers are being delivered in a few days! After the install, I'll follow up. May not get a lip for the G80 if front sits too low after the drop.

Sounds good! I almost went with an M2 CS earlier but the CF lip was a dealbreaker. My kid's daycare has a steep driveway that would scrape the F30 every time even going in reverse at an angle.

How about your garage and "coming soon" though? Ooof fire.

Thanks for your answer! It's due to arrive late august I think, but probably I'll be able to pick it up early in september.

I really don't know what to do with the M140i, the reason tells me to purchase it, but I would not regret it. I don't know what to do to be honest even though I know that the M3 will be amazing and probably will make me easily forget my beloved 1 series.

Congrats! I am also coming from an F30, a 335, as I wait for my G80 to be built. It's a night and day difference.

jmg · 07-07-2021, 03:30 PM

Congrats! I went from an F30 to an F80 and it was like night and day! The G80 must be even more of a car shock!

Lane Departure Warning is only annoying if you:

Don't signal before changing lanes.
Can't stay in your lane.

When you want to change lanes, look first, signal second, and then move over if it's safe. If you do this, you'll never know that Lane Departure Warning is there, ready to protect you when you decide to make a sudden lane change without doing those things and find someone already in your blind spot.

If you can't stay in your lane while driving straight down the street, you will get vibration in the steering wheel. Again, if you're driving correctly, this won't happen.

Using "nannies" doesn't make your M3 any less of an M car. This particular nanny will make sure that you don't have to take a trip to the auto body shop.
