What are your thoughts when it comes to the G80 M3? I'm running out of patience and don't want to wait much longer than early 2021 to get mine, but I have concerns about the early production cars. Do you feel that it's less likely for the first year production cars to have issues since the engine & transmission are already in the X3M/X4M, and other technology is already in place in the 3 series, and so on?

BMW releases refreshes and new packages every few years to keep inventory moving. So long as you aren't the type to always want to have the latest and greatest, getting the first years shouldn't give you too many problems. This is just one of the reasons I leased my last 2 bimmers. I had a '16 M3 base then got the CS, which is pretty much the final big hoorah for the F80 with all the bells and whistles (and minus some features for "performance"). In other words, if you're not attached to it, no problem, you can always upgrade later. The base, to the comp, to the CS's were all significant and worthwhile upgrades if you want to keep swapping cars every few years.
