Changing of the guard....

Well I have officially done it! I'm picking up the replacement for my F82 at 2:30 tomorrow (well, today now technically...). I found a low mileage 73 plate G80 M3 in Isle of Man Green at a BMW dealer and as I really need 4 doors now, I thought 'why not?'. 😁

Pics in the next day or so ...

A mate of mine did the same trading in his F82 for a G series M4 and seems to be very happy with the move, look forward to seeing some pics

The rain isn't best for showing off the the colour, but this is the new acquisition...

[Mr Tidy]

That looks great.

[Stever]

Like that really nice congrtulations

[MattOz]

That looks great in IOMG. Hope it treats you well.

Thanks, so far I'm loving it. Considering there's only 3 years between my old 69 plate F82 and this, the G80 is quite different, feels more responsive, angrier and the interior is much more modern. Once I have had more time with it I will put a more comprehensive review up.

Congratulations. My favourite colour.

They are mega..

I swapped my M4 CS for one last April and got mid pipe done and a mild stage 1 tune..
Now it’s as quick as a 992 turbo S !! What’s not to like!

It may just be me and the fact I’ve been casting an eye on the touring version but I think these have definitely become easier on the eye from when they were first introduced ?

I felt the same in 2021 and 2022 I hated them, that front end! I still think that nose is colour dependent, it's such an aggressive 'in your face' front that muted colours don't really work, but a strong colour works.
