None of this makes the design language any more palatable to me. Love seeing these colors come back though!

It's made of carbon fiber. And the wheels are inflated with nitrogen.

Business idea.... fill the wheels with helium and market it as super lightweight luggage.

Does the suitcase come with forged wheels? If not, hard pass.

I could get on board with his comment... E90 is certainly closer, but the proportions of the G80 just don't work as well as the G82 for me.

I'm with you.

For me it's

E92>E90
F82>F80
G80>G82

MP0W3RD · 05-24-2022, 08:35 AM

The F80 M3 is the best looking M3 ever made (though not the best driving IMO, but I liked that mine always felt like it was trying to kill me)

The G80 looks a bit better than the G82, particularly in profile.

However, if you like coupes, the G80 doesn't look THAT much better than the G82.

ChiTownM · 05-24-2022, 08:40 AM

I do not like the look of the current coupe at all, but the sedan looks better, especially side and rear profile.

The suitcase looks heavy? What are you looking at? It says it's constructed from Makrolon Polycarbonate which resists heat.

Makrolon polycarbonate is extremely robust, and very lightweight with glass-like transparency and is highly impact resistant even at low temperatures.

It also has a high dimensional stability and is easily molded, yet displays excellent heat resistance with a glass transition temperature of up to 148ºC.

Those would be a port installed option

P1 · 05-24-2022, 09:49 AM

Looks like any 'ole regular M3 to me.

954M3 · 05-24-2022, 10:36 AM

I'm so happy that techno violet is back.

I just turned down an E36 M3 techno violet as im going with a new car instead but damn this makes me think I made the wrong choice!

DC2RtoCT9Atof87 · 05-24-2022, 03:16 PM

I would think closer to 115-120k.

Would then make the range

95-100 for Jahare
115-120 for CS
140 for CSL

Spydert · 05-24-2022, 05:20 PM

Has anyone noticed that in all the press release photos, BMW seems to have been very careful not to show the dashboard?
I wonder why.
I want to see whether it's iDrive 7 or 8.
Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance.

I wonder if the G80 has BMW M PERFORMANCE CARBON AIR INLET SET - G80 M3 | G82 M4 SKU: 51118074773

Had to tell, be in another thread of the M4 it definitely has them...

SapphireBaby · 05-24-2022, 09:32 PM

Dang Interlagos Blue is like the love child of Velvet Blue and San Marino Blue. That's a beautiful color man BMW has the best blue pallet.
