F80 M3 Individual + mods vs. Gen2 R8 V10 Plus

[RACEM4TE]

I have an order for an Individual F80 M3. The car will arrive in October and i am modifying it from every aspect.

Charge pipes, down pipes, eventuri intake, MPE, tune, diffuser, lip, side skirts, spoiler, KW 2way, cup2s, HRE R101, Mp electronic wheel, etc like literally everything.

Now from money/financial point of view it'll cost me 560,000 dirhams with the individual car and the mods and theres a couple of Gen2 v10 pluses laying around for 30-50k dirhams more, now the question is which one will i enjoy more? I already have an 675LT but im racking too much miles on it and i need something else sporty to enjoy. Thanks in advance

The new R8. Close thread

The price you're paying might as well get the r8.

I mean speed wise, the mods you listed the M3 will be faster. But obviously a V10 is a V10 and the Audi will always be special.

Do you need more than two seats? I don't like the idea of AWD but I probably would still take the Audi.

If you already have a mac, the r8 seems like it would duplicate that car too closely.

M3 or some other 4 doors car sounds like a good idea.

Are you sure about that? 0-60 in two and a half seconds...bone stock? Not sure if the M can top that with DP's and a tune. Or anything for that matter.

A tune bolt on M4 can't beat it 0-60, 0-100 , 1/4 mile , 60-130 etc . Lol

I share the same line of thinking.

I feel like I would want one car that doesn't attract so much attention and I can just cruise under the radar when I want. And the M3 would be perfect for those days.

I mistakenly thought the 2nd generation was the 2009 V10... I found out since that is still considered the 1st generation. So you are correct the new R8 will crush anything BMW produces.

If can get by the 2 seats, cannot even see how this could be a serious question.

There's no real point in spending that much on a M3 when you could get a supercar for that kind of money...

V10 R8's are some of the fastest cars on the road. IIRC they trap over 130 and hit 60 in about 2.6 seconds.

This is a no brainer, get the Audi man. It's a naturally aspirated V10 revving to 8.5 RPM.

I don't care what you do to the M, it will get smoked in every way plus it will never sound as good or have the engine response of the R8.

Ahlan wa Sahlan. You already have the 675LT, so another super car is not going to be the business. Get the F80, you won't regret it for everyday use.

For the Emirate traffic, ease of driving, sportiness, and spacious interior, the M3 is hands down the best bet. Take it onto the Yas Marina circuit after your mods and get us a video.

All good! I've read reports that the new V10+ is actually faster than the hurácan which is built on the same chassis but twice the cost? Insane.

If you want a good DD then get the M3 and keep it stock. If you're going to dump all that money into it then it's no longer a good DD and you mine as well get the Audi. You clearly have some money..my advice? Sell the 675LT, get a bone stock M3, and use the 675 money and the money you saved by keeping the M stock and get an Aventador.

Get the f80. Four door utility + performance and looks. Just based on numbers alone, the 675lt destroys any supercar under $1,000,000. I think the R8 would feel underwhelming compared to your LT.
