I understand your sentiment tho - i think that sometimes we get too caught up in the heat of the moment especially with F8X vs G8X, at the end of the day you can’t argue with progress and honestly we’re all still driving some pretty sick machines. There will probably always be some sibling rivalry but that’s par for the course: E9X guys always whip out S65 like it’s an exhaust note d*ck measuring contest (which they kind are gonna win that one every time IMO), E46 guys refuse to associate with anyone else, E36 guys still fly completely under the radar with arguably the best M3 of the lot, and has anyone heard from E30 guys lately… F8X guys are just part of that group in which our schtick is gonna be DCTs and gorgeous looks

It's honestly hard to take this seriously. You have either some serious ADD or little to no insight about what YOU actually want.
You bought that LSB off a member here, said it was a 'unicorn' and then put it up for sale less than a few months later for nearly 6k more than you paid for it as 'you were eyeing' another car. Ok fine, people have wandering eyes - you played the market well. Great. You get another 'unicorn', own it for all of 6 months and put out a near 100k feeler - and now you're asking both forums whether it's smart to jump to a G80? Do you have any insight into what YOU actually like? I mean it's a free country and it's your money, but do you like paying sales tax or something? I'm hoping it's a state where it only happens on the differential, otherwise...damn. As for the G80 vs F80 question, you asked both sides of the camp. I assume you know the G80 side is going to tell you to go that route because it's so fast and more capable...and the F80 side will tell you the G80 looks like the pig from angry birds. What are you hoping to gain? If you find some idiot to pay 100k for your unicorn then sell it and buy a G80. Or I dunno, figure out what you want out of these cars - DD? Track work? Cars and coffee prop? Or how about do what actually tickles your pickle... |

For sure I'll have a G8X because I'd like a 2022 car with a manual as a daily, and then I'll have three generations of Ms and will have owned four |

If you can proudly park that car in your driveway and look at it without cringing, then I say go for it.
That’s what I told myself and that is why I didn’t get a g80 lol. Not paying 90k for a car and having to make myself like it. I still throw up when I see the g80/g82 on the road. |

Keep the F80 and build out the suspension with SPL arms all around. It will perform better with much less cost

Only thing I want to know…. Did anyone in the G80 forum actually suggest you keep the F80?
Based on your write-up you clearly want the G80 so go for it - I've tracked it twice at Sonoma and Laguna Seca and it is incredible. I'm sure it's a wonderful daily as well. All that being said, I find the exterior repulsive. As for the interior, I have a STRONG preference for the cleaner, classic, and almost utilitarian aesthetic of the F8X. I also drive 6MT… the manual F8X is equal/faster, depending on where you are in rev-range, than the manual G80. So there's that… the data on this is extensive and thorough so I won't revisit it here. Do this: Get the G80. Post for sale next summer. Start eyeing the G80 LCI. Start new forum thread. Buy the LCI…. Repeat above with the X ///M

This all may be moot / as nice and rare as the Miami Blue is I don't think there is any F80 at all that can pull $98k right now - not even a low mile virgin CS will pull a $90k handle.
No offense OP - if you can get $98k I'll eat my words here and say congrats. Probably better to trade Miami on the G80 and save taxes. |

Yeah, if you can find a taker for that price on your F80, that should be what makes the decision for you.
If you put a premium on color rarity then get the G80 in an Individual color |

Do whatever fits your lifestyle and mood. (Which none of us really know) Life is short. Go for it.
Personally (I can’t believe I’m saying this as I am a tech junkie) the g8x seems very close to the m5 in tech and interior experience, just too much for a m3/4. And I love the styling of the M5 better. So F8x preference for me. And keep your f80 vote from me. |

Sell the F80 and you'll make a good case-study on if it's possible to die from buyers remorse lmao

In my opinion…
Keep the F80 for the transmission Get the G80 for the motor Colors aside I think that’s the way to choose. You sound like you liked the motor and were neutral on the ZF. So I think you should go G80. |
