This looks so good!

I really wonder how Tartufo would look with aventurine red. Might be super amazing.

I love Porsche but with car production at a standstill this is easily a choice I would not pass up especially at 86k

What a freaking stunner though, the MSS kit along with the AR shade, that looks so so good. What's your feedback of the Zf8 in this chassis Vic compared to the other M cars you've had? Asking for a friend.
You are an enabler, the worst of the kind. The ZF8 is just fine, I have have many ZF's from Audi, Jag, Bentley, etc and BMW does the best job mating of proper software to go with the hardware from ZF. Its fine for regular world aggressive driving. I have now had 3 ZF M's and they dont leave me yearning for a DCT all too much. But the DCT is the better tranny of course; my R8 Performance shifts like no other except for my prior Porsche GT3 where the PDK level is elevated.

I had wrote earlier about this--- its really hard to discern the difference. Maybe just the slightest change in steering feel but thats expected with the front drivetrain. The biggest and easiest thing to tell is the launch of course. As for driveability; I had some reasonable time (40 or so miles) to really open it up to around 13X and take into some high speed bends and sharp curves and didnt even realize it was the AWD version. You were right about the mode too in that regard.

I dont think Ive ever been disappointed with M but there are some rides that clearly have stood out for me personally: E39 M5, E92 M3, E63 M6, and now the G80 (ones Ive owned). I look at my M8 and then at the G80 and the G80 gets the nod more than half the time. Its just a more pleasurable drive. When I drive the M8 GC Comp with its piggy tune, it doesnt beg me to push it while the S58 makes want to redline the fucker LOL.

Ok I'm convinced, this is the best color to get in a G80 other than black. Wow. Drop dead gorgeous!!

I need to see this color in person. LOVE how it looks all moody in the low light pics which was what I loved so much about the old Imola Red. I don't even like black wheels but on this build they look spot on to me.

Usually not into reds, but this is just badass.

That stance, too.

I have only sat in buckets but never driven in them or tried them out for a long drive- so I dont miss what I dont know. Either seat set up would be fine for me if I base the M buckets like the ones I had on my 2018 E63S.

A good view of the drop with the spacer in the rear:

Congrats and love the AR as it was one of my favorite serial Individuals on the M850i. My wife just wasn't impressed so had to begrudgingly pass as the saying regarding "a happy wife equals a happy life" is all so true.

Enjoy the drive in the new ride and keep the pics coming as it is absolutely gorgeous with the drop and mods.

I like it much better than the PB car. Like many, Im not a red car fan, but this is amazing. And you won the tire lottery, this time.

that's a nice color. I was going to go with a that combination but by the time I made a decision it was too late. Now I'm just another Brooklyn Gray with Silverstone interior.

Looks excellent & that drop + the spacers sure changes the looks of the M3 in a very good way!

never knew something so beautiful could come out of something so ugly.

tasteful setup.. lowering the front completes the look of the vehicle. Is your car ceramic coated? CLS with exo4?

Those bucket seats are nice and perform well but hard to use as DD and sooner or later lots of wear and tear will be seen…
Even seats on F80/F82 competion had the same issue eventhough the bolsters were not the same as these buckets
