.....the fact that you have to spend 70-90k on a car and you need to modify it to make it look good is a red flag
Yeah because literally no one modified the F8X to look better.
E46, e9x, and f8x look great out of the box.
As does this, I think it's the best out the box M3 ever.
Rear ends of a car are typically the easy part to design , it's usually the front end where designers make or break a car, the g8x rear has a bomb booty but when she turns around... you get the 10 yard fake out
Butter Face!! Haha
One of the G80 fanboys has to get BUTR FCE on their plates! Do it! U won't.
I went to the dealership yesterday. It looks okay in person but the front end I am not feeling it at all. I am BMW fan I just think they went to far back on their heritage for this grill. Darker colors will be the best look for this car imo.

Not here to tell people how to spend their money. What I can say though, is, theres not a fucking chance I'd ever spend 80-90K on this. Rather a used porsche and its literally not even close. At all.

Once I saw the price of my build in the configuration first thing I did is start shopping 911s. 8 weeks later....

I was looking at getting a Type R but then I bought an M3 instead as it was only a few dollars more. Feel bad for people that need to spend their time hating, must be a miserable existence.

We can't even compare a Porsche to a M3/M4. For price comparison brand new would be a basic 718 which just buy the specs on paper it's slower then a M340 in the real world who knows if that is true. Also not as practical but to each your own but I would love a new 911 GT3

My Build with x drive would be 95k. Plus tax and tags over 100.

I got this 2017 turbo s in like new condition with 23k miles for 131 with taxes.

It seemed like a prudent decision at the time and to this day.

Mostly because due to my calculations, driving 30-36k miles over the next few years. I’ll actually lose less then on the brand new m3.

I’m just the 3 months I’ve owned this car, prices are up 10-15%

It is basically a more aggressive m5 at this point.

But revolution is the call of BMW. Gone are the days of subtlety.

Just for reference though. I think the car looks and drives amazing, but I have an M550 for every day.

The car didn’t scratch the sports car itch for me at all, not even close to my stage one tuned m2c

Lots of good options coming from BMW these days. I can’t wait to see what they do with the s58 m2.

I mean, it's totally OK to not like a look of a car, but why bother taking the time to say how fugly it is?

I never ever came to the idea to go into a FIAT board and moan about the Multipla. Let the people talk about the car who want to share experience about it...I mean if someone points out the technical stuff ok it is a discussion point, but looks is and will always remain a subjective feeling from every individual person.

I love the G8X and I loved the F8X (was about to buy a M2CS and decided for the M3) and everyone can have his/her taste.

You know, it's pretty amazing that BMW isn't the only manufactor out there...you can buy a P-Car, Mercedes, Audi, Alfa, Jaguar or whatever the hell you like! Wonderful, isn't it ?

Just enjoy whatever you have and like and share your passion with people who like it too...

Not that hard imo.
Trolls will be trolls

I want a new car with new technology and warranty etc. I've never had a brand new car, so a 4 year old one, with 2 doors less than I want and 35k more than I want to spend is not even in consideration lol

Amazing car though! Enjoy

I'd take a used 991 Carrera 4s or gts over the new m3. I don't care as much about speed, as I do handling and road feel.

Why is everyone so obsessed over straight line speed? Buy an american car for 1/2 the price if that's your main concern. Does racing people at red lights stroke everyones ego's?

The new cayman may not be as fast, but will out handle the g82 with ease.
