back in an f80 after going full cirlcle in g series cars and f87 m2
I have owned a few m cars in my days and in the last year with the car market being so crazy I have been able to buy and sell without losing (sometimes making) money.
I have owned the following cars in the past 15 months: G80 m3- sold when market was super high and was able to drive it.l and enjoy for a short time. I am manual guy and thought the x drive would be fun.. and it wasn’t except for straight line pulls F87 OG m2 manual- fun car, bought with a ton of mods off this forum but lacked a little power and needed something a little bigger I thought.. E90 DCT m3- car had a ton of miles and just decided I wanted something to commute in daily. Feared having issues so opted to sell F80 DCT m3- loved this car but once again made the DCT mistake E90 m3 manual- loved the v8 manual but missed the instant torque of the turbo engines I am used to. G87 auto-this car was bought as demo Car after I won the raffle. I really wanted to drive the car and see how it was.. within 2-3 weeks I decided I liked it but would wait for a manual and posted it given market was good and inventory was low. Finally, just picked up an f80 m3 in yas blue with m performance exhaust, 763m wheels, and m performance lip in a manual. I love driving this thing, and it looks amazing. My wife and co workers think I am insane, but this is just what some car guys do I guess. |

This is totally normal behavior as far as I’m concerned. 😎
I enjoyed reading your thoughts. Thanks for sharing! And I think you chose right on the F80 👍 |

Cars and all the ancillary expenses to keep them mandates that we own cars we love.
Life is too short to drive boring cars. |

Howdy,
Thanks for posting and thanks for confriming I do not need to waste time and money trying out those cars. It is for the most part what I expected from each. Everytime I try to justify another car I end up giving up. BMW really nailed it with the F8x cars. Congrats! josh |

Let us know your thoughts on the G80 RWD manual you'll eventually be buying
What a journey. I've yet to buy an M car, or any BMW for that matter. Nice to enjoy vicariously through you Last edited by a5m; 06-04-2023 at 10:08 AM.. |
