Indeed the service networks blows nuts. We have a Stelvio. Buying parts was a hassle (upgrades), even though I had all the part numbers. So far the car has been incredible though. The service center works like an old-school mom and pop garage, its weird.

I had F80 and F82 CP and now at F90 mainly because of AWD and boy is this car fast

It's a big car but it doesn't feel heavy when you drive it.
But one thing that bothers me is no MT

All mine M3/4 where MT and I can't wait to go back to G80 MT hoping they confirm it comes with AWD
Not AWD with Auto

Besides the Alfa Quadrifoglio are there any good replacements for the F80 these days? Test drove a Model 3 Performance, the acceleration is great but interior materials are meh and can't swallow 75k for that car.

Thinking about just getting a cheap VW Golf GTI to hold me over until the next gen.

My replacement for my non-comp F82 was a comp F80. That ll hold me over to Nov 2020 when I expect the G80/82 to be available.

Hmm. I'm pondering an F90 if only because I have never had an M5 and have wanted one since the E39. The problem I have is the F90 is a big car and bigger than I like for a sports sedan. I suspect my decision will rest on what kind of deal I can get on a F90 comp versus the new G80 comp.

Lol
That's exactly the same reason I bought M5
Never owned one plus I love AWD
I do have M240xi and it's awesome little car, very nibble and AWD it's very useful in WI

Well, according to BMW, they are NOT developing a new 6MT due to economics (not possible to make it as economical and small and handle this kind of torque) so, the G8x will reuse the same 6MT as F8x. Sounds like it will happen for one more gen.
Don't think this 6MT could handle the F90 torque.

farg · 12-01-2018, 12:36 PM

Without dumping all the cash the M5 requires, the 550 M sport intrigues me. Plenty of performance there. Also, I'm not sure I'd opt for the first year of the G80. There's lots of changes coming and I'd like too see them ironed out before committing. Maybe won't be any issues, but with the outlay and the expectations I have on the M cars, I personally would wait at least a year.

08M6 · 12-01-2018, 05:51 PM

997 Carrera

MaX PL · 12-01-2018, 07:26 PM

gonna swap to a SS 1LE in the next 4 months when my 2015 is out of warranty. or possibly a grandsport, but with the mid engine coming out next year, I don't want to take the massive depreciation hit to the C7 so it would have to come with a 15k discount.

Looks perfect.

CosmosMpower · 12-02-2018, 10:06 PM

Should clarify need a real 4 seater. Maybe a F10 M5 Comp pack since the wife doesn't track anymore.

F80 ZCP · 12-03-2018, 07:31 PM

I am getting the itch to try a C63S coupe or Nissan GT-R.

E63 wagon is THE family car IMHO. Resonator delete + chip to 700hp

adc · 12-03-2018, 09:23 PM

Get a used 991.1 or 991.2 to hopefully not lose too much money in the depreciation. Or maybe an M2C.

I went with another M3, this time ZCP and Individual, because I wanted a Euro delivery in a certain timeframe, and get along very well with the M3 on the road and track. Plan to do some basic mods soon.

Considered that but a 3-4 year used one is still 75k+, apparently they are fairly rare

Had a GT-R, decent street car but one trick pony (lots of power and traction at low speed). Punted it after a year and a half.

Non GT cars will lose a lot of money over time. I have a M2C coming to replace my 17 M2 already.

fusionchicken · 12-04-2018, 03:31 PM

Was going to ask if you were planning to track the replacement as I know you track most of your cars (hello from s2ki). If no tracking the F90 M or E63 would be sweet IMO, though those can be tracked too lol

Two of my friends just turned in their early M3/M4 lease and got into an M3/M4 comp pack. The M5 felt too big for them, and they wanted to wait for the G80.

My brother and I went through the stock tires in 1 day tracking e63 wagon.

I wouldn't track it
