Well today marks the day of 1 year ownership. I’ve put 17k miles on this car as it’s my daily and i love it. I haven’t had one issue with this car - other than apple carplay lagging some times. Car has so much presence and is fast as hell for a stock car. I’ve driven it in the snow and rain i don’t baby this car. Only thing that irritates me are the regular brakes. Sounds like a freight train when i come to a stop and the brake fade is horrendous!! Not the most fuel efficient but hey it’s an M car - i didn’t buy it for fuel effecieny. Car does get a lot of attention which is fine - i don’t mind it as i finally got rid of the fish bowl and added some tints. My only regret with this vehicle is not at least getting PPF for the front. i do have plans to order another Individual G80 debating weather to get a 24 or wait for LCI. Crazy how much the MSRP has gone up but what ever. I skipped out on some options that i wanna do for the next one. Ceramics is a must along side buckets.

Great looking car. Love the variations in shading on that paint in different lights!

Thank you!! it’s a dark paint and is very hard to properly capture. None the less i love it in every lighting.

Just followed your page on IG this morning! Hah. Looks great!

[chris s]

it's alright!

[wsbrink]

You know how much I love this car haha. With the yellow DRLs, the bronze 827s, and the BRG, this thing rocks.

[echtors]

Great review - thinking about keeping the color the same for the next one?

it’s crossed my mind but i’m thinking of going a different route. A color that hasn’t been done before

[Lyss_340]

amazing

[Kevin_The_Clean1]

Glad you're enjoying it man & that's a lot of miles. An yes on PPF is you plan on keeping it.

[RockinPA]

One of my favorites on this forum. Love it dude!
I have the PSI midpipe too. It makes the sound 10 billion times better! Love it.
Enjoy.

Great color. You know it's a good color when you get a color that didnt even originate with the brand of car you're buying.
PPF is a must for these cars - the paint is extremely thin and not of the best quality to be honest. Most in the industry have gone too thin/cheap with the water based paints. My first one I did the full front and the second one is Frozen and is full car stealth wrapped. Def worth at least doing the front bumper and hood.
CF buckets are simply great...on my second G80 M3 and buckets were a must the second time again. The base seats are not bad but they just lack the look of the buckets. It would be nice if BMW had a seat like Porsche's 18 way sport plus seats as they are some of the best non bucket seats out there.
The CF exterior package is also a great aesthetic.

I dont have much brake squeal but that usually comes down to how you break them in.

Are you tracking the car to get brake fade?

Do you remove the brake duct covers in the front wheel wells?

Misha did a full Nurburgring lap without brake fade in a 700 hp G80 if I remember correctly

[Malloy]

Looks awesome man!

Weird fact: I got mine on the same day...

[onefasteuro]

Gorgeous color and tastefully done ✅

Do you daily your car with buckets? I ordered with comfort seats because i will daily but i'm not sure about that decision yet....

I do. As long as you brace yourself on the center console and door sill or steering wheel and door sill it's easy to get in and out.

And how is the wear on your seats? This is my single fear that i will destroy the bolsters

I have had no wear on either on my G80 M3s since I dont actually ever touch them. They look as good as new.

Can only add a short comment after all the prior accolades. Outstanding build! Thanks for sharing.
