Now that you've been driving the CS again, how does it compare to be back in it vs the g80?

G80 is night and day the better driving car. Like, it's not even close.

So So Sick. I'm in Jericho, I'd love to see this in person!

I'm in Centre Island, let's do it! Gimme a month to regain use of my shifting arm.

How many miles do you have on the car now? Did the clutch ease up a bit?
I drove a G82 and had a hard time modulating the clutch pedal. I'm hoping that it was just because the car was so new and over time it eases up a bit.

I am currently in this dilemma as my CS lease is up in December and really love the car and it's exclusivity. Not fond of the stying on the G80 but all of the reviews on the driving have me questioning whether to keep the CS or not.

The G80 is more fun, and an all-around better driving car. I love the CS, I will miss it forever when I give it up but for me keeping a non-stick shift car is not an attractive proposition.

Not the just the G80, the G series is just a much better platform than the F series ever was. I encourage anyone to drive any model of both platforms back to back and you should understand.

Happy that you love your G80 Franky !

I disagree with you there my friend. I've driven a G20 M340i as a loaner and I would certainly take even my old base F80 over that car, let alone my CS.

I badly formulated my sentence, what I meant was F series 340i vs G series M340i or F80 vs G80.

Yes, a TON. My only moments of "did I just make a huge mistake!?!" were during the first couple of days and over the very stiff clutch pedal. At 2100 miles, it's absolutely fine.
