First M3 Comp

B_Hxn · 03-01-2021, 11:04 PM

Hey all
Been reading these forums for a long time since bought my first bmw, an F30, a couple of years ago.
Been obsessed with the M3 ever since. So many nights googling, reading, looking at forum posts, pictures...and I finally traded my F30 for a 2018 M3 Competition Pack a couple of weeks ago.
I'm blown away by this car.
Took it for its first run up Angeles Crest Highway today
Nice to meet you all!

Congrats! Sweet color

Tecnniqe · 03-01-2021, 11:17 PM

That’s a very striking color.

Congrats on achieving it 👌

Jbrown7403 · 03-01-2021, 11:21 PM

Beautiful! Congrats! Love Fire Orange!

Thanks for the appreciation, everyone.

The ride felt great. It's definitely a hell of a lot more stiff than the F30, and noisier, but I don't mind one bit tbh.
The car feels SO planted and is so responsive. I've never felt so confident going into twists and turns. I don't drive especially fast on roads like those though, to be honest.
How do you all have your cars set?
I've been enjoying everything in comfort and the throttle in Sport, sometimes Sport+

The F80 is a great car, I like your color too. I'm jealous of all you guy who live in areas with twisty roads. You get to enjoy the car the way it was designed. We have nothing but straight roads in S. Florida.

I have my M1 setting as Sport, Sport, Comfort. My M2 is Sport+, Sport+, Sport. However sometimes I like Eff, Comfort, Comfort when I'm on the highway just cruising along.

That's the 20s. Put 19s or 18s and the ride (and handling) will improve even more.

Or check out the 763s. They are yummy.

Car is stunning. Congrats!

amazing car and color, congrats! when i first got mine i thought sport+ everything was the way to go but as ive gotten used to it i like sport+ throttle but comfort or sport steering and suspension. The sport/sport+ suspension is ok but the sport+ steering is way too much for me.

Tecnniqe · 03-02-2021, 07:36 AM

Comfort steering and sport/+ everything else all the time

luthers4 · 03-02-2021, 09:22 AM

Guess I'm getting old. Keep my comp in comfort 95% of time. Switch everything to Sport + for spirited moments and twisty roads. Rarely do I ever use Sport settings. I find the comp ride, with 20s, very compliant in comfort.

_E90S65_ · 03-02-2021, 10:43 AM

Congrats!

Mojoman · 03-02-2021, 12:08 PM

Congratulations! The Fire Orange looks great.

I have a competition on 20s and spend most of the time with the transmission in Sport and steering/suspension in Comfort. I'll kick everything up to Sport+ for spirited driving.

Outstanding!

The OEM 18's Forged Aluminum (18lbs) would look and perform phenomenally on your car!

That orange 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
