A few already know this, 2 water pumps went under warranty (1@3k miles, the other @6k miles). One stranded me. Wasn't going to wait to get stranded again. They actually have to disconnect the exhaust at the turbos and lower the engine to get to it. You don't expect that type of junk from a $145k new car. Can't imagine the service and/or repair cost after the warranty expires. Those water pump jobs would be north of $3500 each. For me, no, not worth the extra $50k if comparing to a G80/G82. Traded it on the F90 M5C LCI and don't miss the 911 a bit. Don't think I'll ever return to a P-Car. I don't trust them. I know there are a few P-Car fans on here, your experience might be different. That was mine.

I had been looking at 992s all winter and a decent spec one has become basically GTS/turbo money. The G80 felt like a deal especially new. |

The manual reviews that are out say the engine is 'almost lag free'. Take a look at the car and driver one. Quite surprising

One thing that I was expecting to hear about but didn't was any noticeable difference in being down 70 lb ft of torque to the Comp models. In fact the reviews suggested getting the manual. You would think that kind of drop would be noticeable on a road test. I just hope BMW didn't tweak the lower power manual versions to comp levels for the initial roll out reviews.

Which doesn't compute as it's the same engine in the X3M who's weak spot is lag off the line and out of gear. Yes the M3 is lighter but with the G weight gain it's not as dramatic as I had originally expected.

I quote car and driver articel: "If owners of the manual-transmission M3 aspire to Competition-level power output, it sounds like that upgrade would entail nothing more than software. When we asked BMW about the difference between the two engines, the answer was boost: The standard M3 runs a max of 18.9 psi compared to 24.7 psi in the Competition." source: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...-bmw-m3-drive/ should be an easy fix if you really want the same power. |
