Is your G8x M3/M4 also your first M car?

BMW1983 · 08-20-2022, 03:43 PM

6th BMW.

1st M.

Finally.....

NightWriter · 08-20-2022, 06:09 PM

My take, in haiku form:

My fourth BMW.

All had ///M badges abound...

Only one's worthy.

I do think the F80 m3 does look gorgeous BTW. I would have probably bought one of those if I could have afforded it at the time.

For me it's sort of looks, but maybe in a different way than you meant. I really don't mind the grilles, but I absolutely love the various exterior and interior colors especially the m3 seats with logo. I think I've moved off the fjord blue that first drew me in, but the Isle of Man with the black seats and m3 logos just is awesome.

And again maybe silly but I really like the one off 50 year badging.

Oh and the performance is pretty sweet too. I've planned to own an m car, think this is the sweet spot for me with a bunch of really cool color combos and styles.

Once I receive the G80, it'll be my 6th BMW and second full M car.

First BMW - 2003 328i
Second BMW - 2016 340i
Third BMW - 2018 340i
Fourth BMW - 2017 M3 ZCP LCI - current vehicle
Fifth BMW - 2021 S1000RR - current vehicle
Sixth BMW - 2023 M3 Xdrive - waiting for 150 status

n3ro · 08-20-2022, 10:05 PM

1st BMW, 1st M. Was my goal to get a M4 but was waiting for digital dash.

projectme · 08-20-2022, 10:08 PM

3rd M and 6th BMW.

stevebmw3018 · 08-21-2022, 01:24 AM

5th BMW first M3. Always wanted one but never got one until they introduced XDrive on them. Was about to order an M340XDrive when they announced it. Glad I didn't ..

brava09 · 08-21-2022, 04:16 AM

This is my third M car: E92 M3, F90 M5C and G82 M4C.

Best in it's class for sure.

Great pics!

TheShiftyBadger · 09-02-2022, 10:05 AM

First M car and first BMW, at that.

Come from the Porsche world for my last few cars, but wanted something that was a do-it-all kind of car and the Panamera never really appealed to me.

Needless to say, now I'm hooked!!

ominousM4 · 09-02-2022, 03:38 PM

Had two E46's and then fell out of love with the design changes for 20 years. I couldn't ignore the performance of the M4 Comp Xdrive so I bought one, my first M.

kupcake · 09-02-2022, 04:41 PM

19th BMW; 9th M.

tharkins10 · 09-03-2022, 08:46 AM

G80 will be my first BMW. Coming from Infiniti q50s.

My wife drives x7 has given us some experience with the brand, but I expect this M to be a whole new experience.

1BAD4DR · 09-03-2022, 08:53 AM

1st M coming from Lexus I hope it can be as reliable. Lexus was nice and luxury feel but boring same V8 engine for 13 years.

tharkins10 · 09-03-2022, 02:21 PM

I have same hope in terms of reliability. My 2015 Infiniti has had zero issues, just kept up with maintenance.

colo3Kid · 09-03-2022, 02:37 PM

This is my first BMW a 2022 G82 Comp X. Previously I've had a Porsche 924 and a 924 Turbo and lastly an Infiniti G37S.

Love it and have been excited everytime I step-in and drive it!

Wo-Wo · 09-05-2022, 01:38 PM

This is my 5th M4, in between them I had an M3, loved the practicality but I love my coupes. I’ve had a couple of AMG’s but I always come back to M cars and as long as I can I think I’ll always be in one now.

bruce911_ · 09-05-2022, 02:27 PM

My M4 is my third M car, I previously had a E92 M3 and a F82 M4, both had around 100k miles when sold. Prior to that I had several “regular” BMW’s. I was worried I would miss the F82 but the new one has silenced that thought.

ihines10 · 09-05-2022, 02:54 PM

First M and first BMW (kind of?). Had a 22 Golf R as my daily that unfortunately blew the motor after only 10k miles. Thankfully dealer bought it back. Now driving a 20 Supra I've had since June of 2020. No longer need two cars and miss my manual so can't wait for my G80 to arrive. Can't lie though, I will miss the looks of the Supra when it's gone

FoxberryJam · 09-05-2022, 04:07 PM
