It can't be right ... m3 seems like a bad car to test "will the people love it or hate it?" Theory bc of the history it has... just too aggressive, they'll dial it back from that a lot I think.

Just sat in one and revved it a bit yesterday — absolutely love the sound of that motor (maybe a little too much overrun popping tho lol).
If I weren't doing track days, I'd really strongly consider the GLC63. They're sweet!

I like it, but had a sit in, and a look round an RS5 sportback the other day, and man was it nice. The interior was sheer quality, and the exterior was aggressive but classy, way nicer than the RS5 coupe.
I have to admit , I was tempted!

Owned a CPO one for 6 months... the engine and driving it in sport + mode is the only way to drive it. It is the closest thing to driving an actual sports sedan but lifted off the ground. My biggest gripe was it's awful MPG and infotainment system. I had a 2018 so I believe they made some improvements over this year and the 2020 got a facelift. I paid $64k ($83k sticker) for mine and it had 4100 miles. But I couldn't stay away from a true sports sedan and got a deal on my M4. Plus I actually walked away with a few bux on the trade. I know it's subjective but it also felt a bit too on the lux side cause to most people think it's just another MB SUV.. |

The RS5 Sportback I think is the true equivalent to an M3. It really gave the RS5 some much needed life to the coupe. Test drove an S5 and really liked it but Audi didn't want to budge at all on RS5s. $85k is hard for me to justify on any car. One thing that worries me bout the G M cars. If the base manuals are over 70k I'm gonna go preowned. $60k is about the most I'll spend on a car. |

I contacted one of the top 3 Corvette dealers in the US and he already has 400 deposits out of 600 allocations for the C8 next year. I decided to put my name in line in case I decide to get one when my lease ends next June.

When do they start rolling in? I'm hoping for at least a test drive or a rental from enterprise to get a feel for it ... so much hype tho so will need to be careful with initial impressions!

That said, BMW's new interior direction hasn't exactly impressed me either. The weird all-LCD digital instrument with backward tachometer and the the shifter cluster with a row of tactilely indistinguishable buttons are some examples. I do agree that I wouldn't be a buyer for the first year model. I will let the others jump in first, and maybe pick one up in the second or third year of production. Maybe by then the C8 Z01 would be available? The same goes for the G80 M3 though. If I do decide to get it, I would wait a year or two before jumping in. |

Spooky, I was about to type the exact same thing. Unlikely by chance, BMW is very keen for its top selling model (G01 X3) to have people test the waters in and X3/4M is the 2 year void of actual M3 production.
Clever.
