Are you still taking delivery of the G80? I’m down to pick up your M3 xDrive if you’re dropping the order.

Good looking car

Thanks! As for the M3 allocation, I think the dealer already gave it to the next person in line.

I’ve had the pleasure of owning both a black 2020 C8 Stingray and a red 2023 M4 Comp Xdrive. I owned the C8 for two years and it had the track alignment done on it and minor mods. BOTH cars are amazing and have great acceleration and handling. You will be happy with either one. Off the top of my head:

C8 Stingray pros vs M4 Comp Xdrive
No turbo lag.
The stereo is better.
Interior is more exotic.
Faster shifting (yes, the M4 shifts fast, but not this fast).
Sexier front end.

C8 Stingray cons vs M4 Comp Xdrive
The factory engine tune is pretty much optimal, you can’t slap on a piggyback and get 80 more hp and 100 tq.
Complete pain to work on, ie changing the C8 air filter requires the removal of around 30 screws and bolts.
Less technology than the M4 options (except for the C8 video mirror).
A little slower than the M4 X-drive, 11.2 quarter mile vs 11.0 quarter mile.
Exhaust does not sound as good as the M4 MPE. No burbles on C8 acceleration shifts, you might get one 'pop'.

You can see both cars on my IG, ominous_m4 (used to be ominous_c8)

Not sure if you can add this as a pro or a con to the C8, but, going to a car show, I see at least 5-10 C8's there. Which also can speak to a good growing community they have as well.

Now, GM actually produces more Corvettes than BMW does for 3 Series and M3 combined:

https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/bmw/3-series

But we should also ask... what's the reason - particularly when you're include the entire 3 Series lineup?

Back in 2007, BMW used to sell up to 40,000 3 Series (+ M3) cars per quarter and now it's down to 7,000. That to me indicates that the modern 3 Series and M3s aren't "rare" but perhaps less desirable than the older generations.

It’s less desirable because instead of buying a 3 series sedan, most buyers are buying an X1, X3 or X4.

I just traded my 2lt z51 in on an M4.... It got more attention than the M4, but interior on the M4 is much better quality. C8 got really boring really fast. Not to mention it got beat by just about everything out there on the top end. I did look into modding it but the cheapest FI option is 20k, and the results are very underwhelming.
