3rd one for me. Started with E36 M3, then onto E39 M5. First new M purchase, others were used.

[CanuckM]

6th BMW and 4th BMW M for me. This is a terrific product.

[Chickenbandit]

1st M for me but 3rd BMW. Doug Demero's G80 M3 MT review sold me. I felt I needed more fun in my life and he looked like he was having a sh*t ton of fun driving it.

[forza1976]

Will be my 3rd ///M and 10th overall BMW

[Newbie9999]

This is my first BMW and my first M car… I figured what better way to get into the BMW club then to go straight for the M3

My 1996 Dodge Viper burned to the ground and took my 2012 Subaru wrx sti hatchback with it (it was a sad sad day) so I needed something fun and "practical" to replace both and this fit the bill! My Brooklyn Grey with Tartufo interior 6MT is in transit and I can't wait!!

[bri1042]

5th BMW, 2nd M, first BMW 6MT. 17th car that I've owned.

5 German cars, 7 Japanese cars, 5 American cars.

10th Manual, 4th 6-speed preceded by 5 5-speeds and 1 4-speed.

1 DCT (my previous car, an M2C).

6 Autos, including two ZF8's and a couple of 70's-era 3-speed horror shows.

Then they started really dumbing down the cars. Manuals-gone, DCT (DSG in Audi speak)-gone on the higher powered cars, super quiet (mixed blessing) and more expensive than similar BMWs.

The G80 has a great interior with actual color options and is dynamically superior to the RS5 Sportback(it’s nearest Audi rival). It’s priced comparably with options that are more appealing to me.

Hard to pass it by really.

funny enough I was cross shopping the M3 with an Audi RS6 and the M3 won me over primarily of the 6MT offering, for me, rolling my own gears is top of the list

Not bragging, but to be accurate - 21 new BMW's since 1999 (52 new cars so far since 1996). Probably like everyone here, I love cars and have been fortunate to have owned so many. This will be my 9th M car (not including M Sport models). I have two BMW's currently on order now for my wife and myself (#53 G80 M3 AWD and #54 G05 X5 45e).

The M cars:
2008 M3 6MT sedan (E90)
2010 X5 M (E70)
2010 M3 DCT sedan (E90)
2011 M5 DCT (F10)
2014 M5 Competition DCT (F10)
2015 X5 M (F85)
2016 M3 DCT sedan (F80)
2018 M3 Competition DCT sedan (F80)
2022 M3 Competition AWD sedan (G80) - in production

For the record, the M3's have consistently been my favorites. I have high expectations for the G80.

The roundup - 27 Japanese, 23 German, 2 American

That is awesome!

[JDUNITNOW]

I've owned 10 BMW'S including 5 Seven series cars. I have never owned a new BMW or a M car. Before getting married, I was JDM guy owning RX7, Z cars and 3000gt. Once I owned my first BMW, I was hooked. I was back and forth on the M3 and actually considered a CPO M5 or M550i but this car hooked me once I saw it in person. I should be putting my order in August and may even do PCD since this will be the first new BMW.

[Vic55]

11th M for me (only had Ms) and loving the way it drives, handles, accelerates, and just the overall character of the car. Not the fastest Ive had or even the current fastest M car (goes to the M8) but speed is not everything and it truly compliments my GC Comp.

2002 M5
2003 M3
2007 M6
2009 M3
2013 M5
2013 M6
2016 M5 Comp
2016 M4 Comp
2018 M5 FE
2020 M8 GC CE
2021 M3 CE

[Noah L]

Had a Honda Civic Type R. Waiting for my g80. I guess I'm not scared by extreme design choices.

[Remington]

e39 M5
e60 M5
e92 M3 Lime Rock Park
f82 M4
f80 M3

........and just ordered a g82 M4C IOMG, carbon exterior package, laserlights, 826 black wheels, black interior, piano black trim, carbon buckets for PDC delivery in late September

Can't wait.....

[Bimmer TiM3]

First Bimmer ever. G80. Have had Merc, Audi and Porsche 911. G80 is first time I've had interest in BMW. Loving it so far.

[TrentMeister]

5th bmw 4th M

[AriM3G80]

3rd BMW, first M

1990 E30 325i
1998 E46 318i (hated that car so much)
2021 G80 M3 Competition

[Geektechlive]

This will be my first M car but my 10th BMW and will be my second Performance Center Delivery. I decided to go and get almost all options and splurge on Individual Voodoo Blue paint. Got my Build Number and just waiting in line at Status 102.

I wish it would be my First Euro Delivery but we all know what happened there.

I really like the design direction they went with for M3/M4. Its a divergence but it does have a bunch of previous cars lines in the design. Its distinctive and that is also a true mark of an M car to me. to me an M3/M4 should not be a sleeper car.

[The Dad]

This will be my 2nd BMW however first ///M.
Alpine White, M4 xDrive.😏

[Shinzzze]

First time BMW owner here, also the first M. It is really the first time I'm able to afford a new car outright and didn't want to go electric or hybrid before it becomes mainstream. Put my deposit down for xDrive the moment G80 was announced back in September 2019, and hooked ever since.

Guess my loyalty is all over the place as a Millennial lol

2013 - Honda CR-V
2015 - Merc E class
2016 - Accord V6 coupe (sold to my neighbour's son in 2021 and still seeing it everyday lol. Loved that thing)
2017 - Audi Q5 for winter & ski trips (now a beater)
2021 - G80 M3 xDrive (will-be daily)

[vpvasquez11]

Second BMW (2008 335 sedan) and first M Car.

[Mephisto]

This will be my second bimmer, first M car. I've been wanting an M car since high school which at the time was the E36 (been a long time coming).

I previously had a 2007 335xi manual, a 2002 WRX, and a 95 Acura Legend GS coupe manual and a few other less interesting cars. Been stuck in SUV land for 6 years and can't wait for this car to arrive.
