What’s your take on the different driving modes? I find the comfort mode surprisingly good for everyday driving without sacrificing sports performance.

Definitely! The versatility of the G80 M3 is one of its best features. It’s both a daily driver and a performance car.
Is anyone else concerned about the weight? I’ve heard the G80 is heavier compared to its predecessors. Does that affect performance?

I don’t think the added weight is a big deal. It handles and accelerates very well even with the extra mass.
I love the aggressive styling of the G80 M3. The front grille might be controversial, but it definitely stands out on the road!
Haha, right? It grows on you over time. Just like the car’s performance – it keeps impressing me each time I drive it!

How does it compare to the previous M3 models? I’ve driven the F80, and I’m curious about the differences.

The G80 definitely has more power and upgraded tech features than the F80. The overall driving experience feels more refined too.
I’ve also switched from the F80 to the G80 and noticed a marked difference in both acceleration and stability in curves.
What’s the fuel efficiency like? Can you have this much performance without breaking the bank at the pump?

It’s not the best in fuel efficiency, but for a performance car, it’s pretty decent. I average around 20-22 mpg which isn’t terrible.
I’ve had my G80 M3 for about a year now, and it’s an absolute joy to drive! The performance is exhilarating, but the tech interface can be a bit complex at first.
I completely agree! The learning curve with the tech is steep, but once you get used to it, it’s super convenient.
Maintenance can be pricey, especially if you go through BMW’s official service. I’ve learned to do some basic stuff myself to save some cash.
What kind of basic maintenance do you do? I want to get my hands dirty too but don’t know where to start.
Something to keep an eye on is the rear-end suspension noise. It’s a common issue, and addressing it early can save you headaches later.

I’ve heard about that! Is it hard to get resolved, or can it be fixed during routine maintenance?
The G80 M3’s styling is quite polarizing. Some love it; others not so much. Personally, I think it stands out!
True! It definitely sparks conversations. I’d say it’s like the bold outfit of the car world - you either love it or hate it.
If you’re considering buying, I’d recommend taking it for a long test drive. The driving experience is like no other, and you want to really feel it out.
