If you already have an RS7, just modify it to make it a huge power highway bruiser, and get a lightweight pure sports car. F80 is great and I loved it, but dedicated sports car in combo with a fast sedan to daily is better than a "do it all" car. just my $0.02

Hey I respect and appreciate your thoughts and opinions/ suggestions!!

the fenders, dct, straight 6, rear tail lights, farts in 3rd, cf roof

F80-F15 · 09-06-2019, 05:23 AM

it's special. She looks great, drives like she's on rails, and she gives you tremendous road confidence

AIRHEIR · 09-06-2019, 08:42 AM

The fender flares, manual, 4 doors, and the smiles it generates from all the little ones in the family when we go for a ride.

Why do you own one and what made you fall in love with it?

Ineffable

canukgtp · 09-06-2019, 12:38 PM

Yeah like most have mentioned, one of the few remaining 4 door sedans with a 6 speed manual and the rear hips on the M3 look fantastic...M4 looks great too, can't go wrong with either car. Total blast to drive!

Fast4d · 09-06-2019, 12:41 PM

I just past 40k on my 2015. I think I love it more now than when it was new. feels great if I'm stuck in traffic, relaxed with a drink. traffic clears I press a couple buttons and it's in kill mode.

sicck_m4 · 09-06-2019, 11:24 PM

The styling and incredible performance. Endless mods and tunes. I've never driven a car that receives so many compliments on the street.

330cibimmer · 09-07-2019, 12:12 AM

These tail lights and this hood

San Marino Blue

I searched all over gods planet for that blue. I would of given up some must haves options if I could of found M3 that color.

Looks awesome!

icegrill · 09-07-2019, 03:00 PM

The "bark" and wiggle the car makes when you really get on it.

karlskry · 09-07-2019, 04:29 PM

I drove a truck for the past 4 years due to owning a boat and doing a slow home renovation. On the first test drive down a backroad, the car felt like a more refined version of an evo, so I was sold. As a plus, I’ve always wanted a silver on red German car

Even with the new released on the 4 series coupe that make you appreciated your F80 & F82 even more.

As cliche as it may be, honestly just everything. The whole package is just awesome and fun to drive.

RoundelM3 · 09-11-2019, 08:09 AM

Tanzanite blue...

THEROK · 09-11-2019, 10:03 AM

The F82's rear end, I consider, to be one of the best looking designs of all-time. When I first laid eyes on one driving down the road, I knew it was a special.

There are very few mass production cars that rival it and those that do are low volume sellers.

Same. I first saw one in the wild on 21 January 2015 and thought, "Ooh..."

The fact that it is named after a cool tank, was available with a 6-speed (which was a requirement), the performance, and the looks of the rest of the car sealed the deal. The interior and cloth seats were icing on the cake. I had one less than three months after that first sighting.

CarbonAlpine · 09-11-2019, 04:47 PM

Although I wasn't keen on the turbo 6, the torque over my e92 quickly made me forget. Although it doesn't sound nearly as nice as my e92 m3 V8 with Gintani exhaust...it sounds nice enough with flaps open.

And yes...the looks! That's why I don't worry about all the photoshopped crap people spit out of the new m4...I know I will love it. I've had every model m3/m4 since 1996. I will continue the tradition I'm sure

M Power

Takumi587 · 09-17-2019, 02:38 AM

It was driving an M3 & M4 at Thermal for M performance class that made me truly appreciate the car and love it more. I originally bought it because I’ve been a loyal BMW fan since the E46 M3. The engineering that is put into the rigidity of the vehicle and overall engine performance while at the same time being able to daily drive makes it the perfect car for me.
