Bubblegum review... kinda entertaining if mindless.
What grates my cheese though (!!!) - ragging the throttle response in Sport+ when driving like your aunty through city traffic. WTF. Leave it in Efficient you palookas! How contradictory can one be? |

Why not just go for a 911 GTS or Carrera T if you're up to this price point. I like the F80, but that is a lot of money for what your actually getting.
Plus i see an M3/4 at least once a day, if not multiple times on a decent day.. Not to say I don't see a lot of 911's bc I probably see just as many, including Turbo & TurboS, but they just still seem to appear more "special & sporty" either way.. |

Now for your comparison, it seems like you are comparing CDN new prices to USD used prices. The cheapest F80 on autotrader in Canada is 53k and it has 100k on it. Early models were also cheaper (lower msrp and less options) so the avg build was definitely not above 90k. I have no skin in the game but your info is borderline propaganda |

Standard depreciation for a mass produced car, quite normal to see at least a 46% depreciation on a new car within the first 3 years. Low 40’s for a 15 or 16 is a little conservative....maybe a launch 14 or one with higher miles, base equipment, bad car fax, etc but the average f80’s in those years in the market pull well above that. It’s also hard to spec out an early model f80 for 90k or above as there was no competition package. Only possible really if you spec’ed ceramic brakes and literally checked every option, package, and add on, far from an average car of those years. Mid to high 70’s at best usually ....and I highly doubt you are seeing loaded out 16 f80’s with the competition package for low 40k. But regardless, I’ll agree in general the pricing on the CS seems a bit excessive for something that’s not all that much better than a competition packaged car, unless you are just a collector or value limited production cars. And the GTS market has been in decline. Time will tell. Last edited by IDBGOD; 07-11-2018 at 08:56 PM.. |

I beg to differ. I mean in a straight line, possibly true after 60mph but I highly doubt on any road course or real world, this to be the case.

CS=Club Sport,
I thought it was way overpriced too, but when you look at prices here in UK, M4 Manual starts from £61k, M4 CP Manual £64k, if you add Ultimate Package £10k (includes DCT, HUD, and all the essentials) becomes £75k, Now, sticker price on M4 CS is £90k, It still sounds really overpriced, even though it has more extras like: GTS Lights, GTS Bonnet, Carbon Front Splitter and Carbon Spoiler, Carbon Door trims (which I think looks rubbish), If talk to any dealer who has one in stock, they'll say that price is very MUCH Negotiable, so my guess is £85k is possible for a brand new unregistered car, which is still £10k over M4 CP+UP, but if you really want it, but have only £70-75k budget, and thinking: I only live once and have opportunity to treat myself with a special Limited edition of a special car, then look no further than BMW approved used section and you'll discover that, there are plenty of nearly new, under 1000 miles, demonstration models all over UK for £70-75k, and some of them come with Carbon Ceramic Brakes as well With plenty of Colours to choose from, If i had that kind of budget, I would definitely go for 2018 M4 CS SMB With CC Brakes (even though I'm Manual guy), make no mistake, this is a special car with similar Nurburgring time to GTS, for half the price. I rest my case....... |

Plenty of M4 GTS still sitting in the showroom with delivery mileage. Now the M4 CS is just another nicely spec'd M4 with a 911 price tag. BMW should have learned from the M4 GTS: making a car limited production, does not make it desirable.
Porsche limited edition or low-production cars like 911R or GT3 are desirable because they are brilliant cars in the first place. As for the video... these 2 guys are just two teenager boys trying too hard. They read the same script to every car they review. No valuable info at all from any of their reviews. They pumped so many reviews that I have to blocked them on my YouTube account. Just annoying. |
