Articles come out officially the day the car is available to the public

Was wondering about that thanks. Seems so late considering how many cars are already out there and being driven around over past few weeks

SYT_Shadow · 03-02-2021, 07:54 AM

Finally we have a date! I'll be counting down the days!

GOLFFRR · 03-02-2021, 08:49 AM

We have been told by NA for us March 13th. Maybe its different in different areas. I also know of a handful of people who already have theirs but have not posted yet, but for us we are going to wait

He's referring to the embargo on driving impressions/reviews, not sales.

M3AWD · 03-02-2021, 09:26 AM

Should probably take the day off to watch all the videos

As you know, video editing is a very involved process haha.

Me too. Chris Harris review will be the first I'd want to read as well since he's an M fan in general and has an M2C

We would like to remind you that the BMW Press Department currently has a Global Embargo in place, prohibiting anyone from publishing or posting any first driving impressions of the M3/M4. This applies in particular to video footage of anyone driving the car and providing their opinion on these products. The embargo needs to be respected and adhered to by ALL BMW Dealers, News Outlets, etc. The embargo expires on March 9th 6pm (Eastern Time) at which time you are allowed to publish, post and release any materials that you have produced. As such, the Automotive Sales department asks that dealers refrain from driving the vehicles, or offering customer test drives, as these both contribute to social media posts violating the embargo.

He's also somewhat objective. He can (and has) been critical of past cars.

And the dude can drive, while providing actual feedback. Versus Youtubers that regurgitate the same things other Youtubers said for 20 mins.

P.S. I also really enjoy his podcasts. His view on cars is really interesting.

Salespunk · 03-02-2021, 09:42 AM

I am excited to actually try an M3 for myself. If the driving dynamics improve as much as they did from the F10 to the F90 it is going to be a fantastic car.

BTW I have a contrarian view that BMW know they have a winner right with the new M3. I think they are doing a late release of driving impressions to build anticipation.

Ok politburo.

I look forward to G80 reviews by Harris, Achilles, Farah and DeMuro.

SteveChester · 03-02-2021, 11:24 AM

Look forward to seeing the reviews of its driving capabilities - and does that offer enough to counter act the styling

Harris and Farah...at least.

Had to pull mine for now, both on my site and BMW blog. Will be back March 9.

And he was a big fan of the F80 M3, he's the one I trust the most to give a fair opinion on the G80 M3.
