Yeah, I had XPEL Stealth on my BSM F80 as well

Thanks mate! Love your F80, looks great. BSM with stealth PPF is a ripper combo on these cars.

Yeah… really can’t go wrong with either….

Anyway, just here salivating on your M3 Touring

Big change indeed as I never intended on getting a G80… the opportunity just presented itself when a dealer reached out regarding the availability of the CS..

I think the practicality of a sedan pushed me over the line, especially with our experience last spring with kids’ sports. The X7 clearly addresses that but still hard to juggle since we still find ourselves using 2 cars since some of the games overlap + carpooling. A 4-door performance car is hard to beat, which is really the main appeal of the M3 for me.

So far so good.. really impressed with it.. although my left foot falls asleep LOL.. missing that manual transmission already haha. To be fair - the transmission is smooth and the shifts are quick. Still need to reassess post break in.

Hmmm… still not sold on the red accent on grille.. i know it’s CS but I might swap that to a Vorstiener grille.. I don’t mind the other red accents on the car.

First order of business is the PPF.. stealth or glossy… then KW HAS, spacers and maybe mid-pipe. I’ll go from there LOL.

I think I’ll get back into a 911 after this… maybe a manual Targa GTS if a GT3 is still unattainable at a ‘reasonable’ price.

Hope you’ve been well!

If I had a CS I would swap the red grill no fucks given.

Welcome back

Welcome back and congrats on the CS! Loved your F80 build and how clean it was. I'm excited to see what you do with this. +1 vote from me to go stealth ppf.

Thanks so much!
Haha. It’s still a coin flip for me - stealth/satin or gloss.

Should be a fun build!

Ultimate G80 M3 CS in Black. Enjoy!

NotSharocks · 07-13-2023, 04:43 PM

Your F80's were done up very nicely!

Will be interesting to see what you come up with for the G80 since, as you said it, it's not that you like the way it looks from the get go.

wavyyyy · 07-13-2023, 04:46 PM

Don’t do the KW HAS on this! At least I wouldn’t. I feel like stock suspension from the CS is what makes it special to begin with!

That being said, Congratulations! It looks amazing.

dmboone25 · 07-13-2023, 04:50 PM

Congrats! Looking very mean - I think the stealth might make it even a bit meaner.

jm490 · 07-13-2023, 04:51 PM

Just realized you picked this up from Aimon at park Ave. He offered it to me at 12k over msrp. I couldn’t justify trading in my beloved LCI F90 comp for this with the ADM. At msrp I would’ve probably done it maybe idk. Either way good thing he wouldn’t budge on the adm with me otherwise it wouldn’t have been available 😂. Enjoy!!!!

F80DK · 07-13-2023, 04:53 PM

Congrats on a wonderful and practical performance saloon. My favorite color combo, too. I did not have the option to choose mine myself, since BMW just shipped one unsold to my local dealership, who then called me ahead of 12 others. So, Frozen Solid White Metallic it is w all options except ceramics. Rims and calipers are even black, so car is very low key to look at. I’ve driven 1,800 miles now, first 600 miles at max 3,000 rpm, next 600 miles at max 4,000 rpm. Car has had its first service and I can tell you, you sure has something to look forward to! My F80C is fast, but this is something totally different. Never thought I should say this, since I love the F80 design. But the G80 CS is in super car territorium here - and the steering is a l m o s t as good as in my 600 LT.
I had mine fully PPFed in stealth to preserve and maintain factory flat paint. And that is the only customization I will ever do to this special car. So, you may PPF yours in flat - and keep the red accent stripe in the grill that suits the interior so well.
Oh, I ppf’ed the backside of the front seats as well. Practical means I haul kids, too

yousefnjr · 07-13-2023, 05:11 PM

Congrats! I’m with you on the red grill trim, although it’s less offensive here than on the Signal Green cars. Looking forward to seeing where this goes

Resoelg · 07-13-2023, 05:29 PM

That's a great looking machine...
Enjoy the balls off of it!

Thank you! The CS is definitely a special car… however, it’s in dire need of a drop in my opinion.

You’re on to something.. I agree with you.

BitchinManWheels · 07-13-2023, 05:44 PM

Natural progression is M to 911 S then GT3 or Turbo. Unless you really need 4 doors…

LOL thanks! I was very close to getting a F90 as well but went with a CS.
Aimon’s a good dude. I’ve purchased my last 3 BMWs from him..

Thank you!
Black / Red may flow better… but the Signal Green color is pretty badass too.

I’m looking forward to modding this as well!

I’m looking forward to this build/mod journey! T1M3LESS’s F80 was one of the sexiest F80s known to men. This G80 CS is going to be killer 🤩

Thank you! Your car looks phenomenal.

I was pretty much in the same boat as you… I would’ve preferred it with CCBs but beggars cant be choosers. This happened pretty quick too… dealer let me know they had one available and I ended up getting it.

I agree with you. The driving dynamics and performance of this car is something else. While I miss the engagement of a manual transmission, the gearbox on the CS is pretty darn good. Same goes for steering, hard to top that of a 911, but on this, it’s not too far off…

LOL Good call on the PPF on the buckets.. I’m doing the same! The backside of those seats get abused by the kids!
