The interior is amazing. Unfortunately for the first time I'm sad I moved to a state that doesn't have front license plates because the grill looks a little better broken up with a front plate.

As further comparos go, an M2Competition is about 3650 lbs which is RWD and DCT so really goes to show you how light the 911 really is compriably to some smaller cars with AWD and no convertible motors. Last edited by HeelToeShift; 09-24-2020 at 09:03 AM.. |

I wonder if the new carbon roof will begin to delaminate in 5 years like my F80's is now

I love his reviews... especially since this guy is big on AMG and gives a non-biased (not a fan boy) perspective |

This design is going to be extremely controversial. BMW strayed away from the evolution formula more with this car than anything they gave done in several decades. its a unnecessary risk BMW is taking with a cult following model. When companies do these "out of the box" styling moves, it seldom sticks to the entire line. For example the Porsche 996. That design took a massive hit in resale value and has never recovered in the popularity of the corrected 997. Press danced around its looks as much as they could but the real buyers and Porsche faithful gave Porsche the thumbs down and Porsche raced to correct the front end with the 997. Not many of the 911 faithful ever came around even after 2 decades later. On a mass market vehicle like the Subaru Tribeca, it killed its sales. I remember when Jeremy Clarkson called it a "pig in a sock" when it was initially released and that name stuck to the Tribeca. I think the new S-Class design is a disaster so maybe manufactures are testing the waters this year??? The new M3/M4 is a love it or hate it design and will probably not get many to change their initial opinion. I see too many direct similarities to the demographic and the 996. Those that love it and buy it is great as it will never be confused with another model.

RBR has an exclusive video focused on the G80 M3 decked out in the M-performance parts.
Reposted in the M performance part thread but thought it made sense to post here to have all the M3/M4 youtube videos here for reference. Last edited by Avaley; 09-24-2020 at 04:31 PM.. |

Its supposed to be due to the introduction of the electronic parking brake, can't do that with the fixed calliper set up.
Or rather, BMW won't invest the money in making one that will (as Porsche have shown its possible...) But yes, would have been nice to have kept it as it looks much nicer and remember it being a talking point in the F80/82 press release. Also can't imagine, rear axle wise, it's anything other than a step backwards in terms of performance. They've beefed up the front instead. Edit: Sorry, didn't see someone had replied to you above with the same. |
