Hard to believe this was your first video because of how nice and cinematic it was, can’t wait to see this channel grow👍

[@SunnySingh-fd8wn]

For a first video this is amazing! Great editing and content. I look forward to watching more videos. I’m looking to get an F80 M3 - your’s is such a good spec 👍

[@xavierlopez7096]

I like your videos man. You own my favorite car of all time. Keep it up 👍

[@GPATtheGOAT]

Sick editing man and sick ride. You’ve made my next car decision much clearer

[@Dazza367]

Great first video and I love your car! It sounds awesome just wish my BMW sounded like that.

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

When you said my F80 M3 review video inspired you I was flattered but way too make this your own and knock it out of the park! Glad you went the vlog route my dude. Great music, solid cuts and transitions. Subscribed and looking forward to more from you 👍🏻

[@Arnoldjchang]

Thank you!!!

[@vinhgeta]

I traded in my WRX about a month ago for my 2017 M4 Competition and I do not regret it! Great video :D

[@mrjoeyzhouy]

Amazing work for the first vlog! Keep it up mate

[@phemelo115]

This is really cool, please keep us posted lots of love

[@LoLPhuocDat]

[@Arnoldjchang]

Records Hehe haha thanks!

[@omarsosa3206]

Really nice video, especially for a beginner in the youtuber world!! Love the M3 it is my favorite car. You should make more videos on it!

[@LoLPhuocDat]

10/10 cinematic btw

[@a.p.5342]

Such a badass car! I’m actually now leaning on getting one in the future because it just looks so damn good inside and out. I personally the look of the front, looks so aggressive. I’ve seen these in person and they always having me starring haha.

[@bendurnin7752]

Good laid back vibe to your video mate ,

[@djrebirth116]

Bro, this is really nice & clean. Keep us posted on the mods & stuff, whenever you get to doing that.

[@rawhiphop34]

Thanks for sharing brother…. I got the same car out here in NY….. definitely a head turner …

[@glenkozeli4000]

Impressive 1st video man! I am currently shopping for an 2018 ZCP and decided on white over black but i think your video just changed my mind haha. Keep up the good work!

[@Arnoldjchang]

Glen kozeli haha love the stormtrooper look, but nothing beats all black for me 👍🏻 good luck with your purchase!

[@robertulrich7150]

Great Video! Very nice footage as well!

[@javiertorres290]

Great video. I got a 2017 m3 f80 with competition package like 3 weeks ago and is amazing and very fast hope to see more videos from you

[@khatachimma2507]

Congratulations, this is a perfect spec!

[@RandomMizer813]

Subbed! I bought a 2016 M3 Comp few weeks ago too in a similar spec. Such a great car that can rip up the track on weekends and be the perfect daily driver. Hope you stay safe, much love from Australia!

[@Arnoldjchang]

Thanks!! Hope all is well in Australia 👍

[@1zamboni]

Great first video on the M3.

[@untitledlabel]

awesome 1st vid! hope to see you grow and more vids to come.

[@Arnoldjchang]

FBGS thanks!! Appreciate it

[@Kenjilaowarrior]

My wish car, hopefully soon!

[@thirst4petrol537]

Nice video man, subbed. im also getting a 2018 bmw m3 comp telesto edition in february. Stumbled upon ur channel while impatiently watching m3/m4 vids to pass time untill delivery 😅 ill be reviewing it aswell once i have it.

[@jedwards198530]

2:46 best sound ever.

[@joelargueta6442]

Sorry, but Actually the only thing i don’t like on the F80 M3 is the sound :(

[@benbrown5913]

That Remus exhaust is legit with flaps open

[@dayyaanabrahams7508]

Your video skills are really good bro. Secondly this is my dream car and it looks amazing bro, keep making videos bro❤️✌🏼

[@Arnoldjchang]

Appreciate the kind words 😊 work hard and you’ll achieve your goals!!!

[@jbrown7403]

Really great video! I have a ‘16 M4 Competition Package and I absolutely love it! Totally agree with your comment about it being a great daily driver. Very comfortable in Efficient mode around town but can turn into a monster in the blink of the eye! The 666 wheels are also great and look so cool at speed! BMW Floating Center Caps are highly recommended! I get soooo many comments and looks of confusion when people see them. 👍

[@Arnoldjchang]

Nice thanks for the suggestion!

[@Querenciatv]

Amazing Work ✌️

[@astheticgirl4684]

Beautiful M3 you have!!

[@kadiciaa]

Great video! I have been torn between the M4 & M3 but i think this definitely helped with my decision. 😎

[@Arnoldjchang]

Haha awesome! I love the practicality of 4 doors, yet still having so much fun driving it! Let me know what year and model you end up getting!

[@davidcousins3938]

Really great video, I think you should have a look at F80HO , very subtle mods to his M3, black on black just like yours.

[@richy3356]

🔥🔥

[@jake_spence]

Awesome first BMW video! Gonna watch your BimmerCode video now, gotta make one for my channel!

[@Arnoldjchang]

Jake Spence thanks! Loving your channel!

[@DavidTschoepe]

I'm planning to get an M3. I just lost my 2016 340i M Performance to an accident. So for now I'm driving my Subaru CrossTrek. I want an M3, probably going to be looking at the 2018 model year as I want the upgraded iDrive and I like the body style of this generation, and it's in my price range (or will be once car market normalizes again).

[@IvanIvanov-xo4os]

Nice one man, never give up! BMW M3 is my dream car

[@Arnoldjchang]

Work hard and you’ll get it in no time 👍🏻

[@IvanIvanov-xo4os]

@@Arnoldjchang Yeah that's the key

[@Dangne]

I knew this M3 looks familiar with the background! Was browsing around online and found the car for sale haha

[@christineedwards4228]

Nice vid! More videos please

[@swabzjeeno2914]

Beautiful car! Great specs, looking to get one too!

[@Arnoldjchang]

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help!

[@justinluker1900]

Wow dis is a very good car

[@zourik.zarifian]

Nice first video! I’m currently in the process of taking over your exact same car from someone (2018 M3 w/ Comp - Black/Black). This just made me look even more forward to driving it soon! :) Did you by any chance go through the process of refreshing the maintenance plan on your car since you bought it used? I’m trying to figure out how that works and what it costs.

[@StreetDrivenDaily]

Nice! I have 2015 M4, mine is manual trans, its far from stock :) i should reveal as well- as we are locked up anyways! had 07 Audi RS4 and 03 911 Turbo. I wrench on my cars--- Do more videos about the M3, show all the mods you gonna slap on :) I suggest to throw a tune on it, you gain 80hp - I was very close to get a GT-R, pretty much all i had to do just sign papers. Had second thought, and i need to wait 2 more years, as i want 2012+ model. and I'd like to keep my M. cheers!, and good luck with your channel, :) subbed! - 500hp with tune is plenty of power! for the street use, and what i love, space, big trunk, perfect daily!

[@efthimios]

Beautiful car as a e90 335 owner instill love my car but debating a 2018 m3 or a 340 as next- I love the competition package like you have but I agree I don’t care about the 19s , I think the non competition package 18 “ m3 wheels are one of the most beautiful stock wheels ever, second to the Audi A6 competition package wheels which are gorgeous too.

[@FL5ghost]

I love my M3 CS it’s such a beast especially when you throw Catless downpipes & stage 2 tune on

[@bryhsiao]

did you fix the crank hub to avoid it spinning?

[@FL5ghost]

Bryan Hsiao no, if it spins it spins.

[@joelargueta6442]

How do you like the stage 2 tune? I’m planning to do so on my F80 M3 comp soon.. Any recommendations ?? TIA.

[@FL5ghost]

Joel Argueta I love stage 2, if your going to do it go with Active autowerke. I live in Florida I drove to active autowerke in Miami so they could install there Stage 2 tune and there midpipe I felt the difference immediately the car was so powerful but I wanted more so I bought there catless downpipes as well. The car is making 550whp.

[@bryhsiao]

@@FL5ghost what do you mean their stage 2 tune. isn't it BootMod3?

[@yardbwoy9243]

Alright Arnold, very nice m3 seriously thinking about buying one, new ones coming out this month seeing what the prices are going to be for the 2018 m3 competition 🤞🏾did you buy extended warranty from BMW?

[@derrickgriggs1703]

Love this video, excellent job! I've heard so many good things about this model and I have always been a fan of the M3 series. What is the cost of maintenance now that you have had the car for while. I'm seriously thinking about getting one soon.

[@Arnoldjchang]

Unfortunately I sold it during COVID 😔

[@derrickgriggs1703]

@@Arnoldjchang well, I got one so I’ll see

[@jesseleon9725]

Hey man great video! Curious, how did you say you were able to get the Apple CarPlay full screen?!?

[@Arnoldjchang]

I had to pay to have someone activate it for me but I think now you can do it for free! f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?s=7d4f9bb343749ea53e915985c259f1ec&t=1563454&page=30

[@dwaynebolan2583]

Great editing! How's the maintenance on the F80?

[@matthsieh]

nice car! i've got the same one :)

[@jamesshotbolt1005]

Great video. I’m torn between an M3 comp and an Audi RS3 sportback. I love both cars but I’m slightly concerned that the M3 will be a bit too tail happy, especially in the wet. Do you find that your car handles well when you put the power down or is it really twitchy in the bends? Keep up the good work and I’ll look forward to seeing more stuff, especially a reliability/cost of running vid.

[@Arnoldjchang]

James Shotbolt thanks for the kind words! I honestly haven’t pushed it to the max yet, but when I went on my test drive, the salesman let me take it on a windy road and it felt glued onto the corners. Planning to release my cost of ownership video next week so stay tuned!

[@Mz.7]

awesome

[@graemefrench6841]

Aye brother great video, what splitter are you running if you don’t mind me asking? Thank an

[@Arnoldjchang]

it was already installed when I bought it but should be this one: www.bimmerworld.com/Body-Aero/Front-Spoilers/M-Performance-Lower-Front-Splitter-F80-M3-F82-M4-BMW-51192350711.html

[@piercechakraborty5219]

Great choice, I have a F80 M3 as well, for what you said about the Audi - a RS5 is a more fair comparison

[@Arnoldjchang]

Yea totally agree performance wise, but a RS5 is about $10-15k more than a M3 which made me have to “settle” with the S5 or M3 lol

[@Bigknobby88]

After seeing the Socks and Flip Flops.....I couldn't truly enjoy this video but overall, pretty good. 👍🏻

[@Arnoldjchang]

😂 thanks

[@jordanramsey2131]

great video. I had the M3 and M4. Didn't like the M4 and want to go back to the M3.

[@88jdiesel]

Same color as mine,but without comp package,bcuz I heard it makes the vehicle too stiff,pick up next week.

[@JohnDoe-hv7wd]

Nice car Arnold! Also what percent tints do you have? Windshield, front, rear & back?

[@Arnoldjchang]

John Doe hey I bought the car with the windows tinted already. It’s actually not that dark, so I want to say it’s around 30%?

[@ThomasZickell]

I have a 2018 M3 Competition that is very much like your car, just white with a black interior. I leased it and have put only 6400 miles on it in the last 36 months. I got a 2021 911S, but with COVID & the chip shortage, I'm thinking of keeping this car. Can you tell me how your car has been? If it has more miles, is it still running well?

[@cozee69]

Awesome video man! What’s your setup to record? Do you have an ig or something I can ask questions about your setup and how you started? Just picked up my M4. It’s modding time :)

[@Arnoldjchang]

Hey Cody, you can DM me at arnoldjchang and I’ll be happy to answer your questions!

[@cozee69]

Arnold Chang Okay cool! Codykills on IG I’ll hit you up! Thank you!

[@AwsTheBaws]

Hey! Great video, whats your camera setup?

[@Arnoldjchang]

Thanks! I use a Sony a6400 with a Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens

[@Itsuser_1234]

Have you had problems with your rear axle differential? Mine was seeping oil… fyi you should change your paddle shifters to carbon fiber, the stocks look terrible.

[@TheDailyDriven]

Congrats on the car. Definitely a thumbs up on getting the m3

[@MortalWombat22]

Yoo what did u shoot this video with? Its so crisp and clear.

[@Arnoldjchang]

Shot it with a Sony A6400 with a 16mm sigma lens.

[@edgarchieng2130]

The LCI II headlights are the best

[@Arnoldjchang]

I know! The only negative is that you can't see them yourself 😂

[@LunarEclipseVI]

The only exhaust modifications was the exhaust tips? The car sounds so good

[@Arnoldjchang]

It actually has a Remus axel back system along with the tips.

[@TWHISPERER]

Have you had any issues with this car since you bought it by now?

[@TheRealE39M5]

Nice car bruv! if your looking to change your wheels I have the 20in comp wheels in silver are you will to trade? I have the 2016 model and am looking for black ones,, id rather not powder coat the wheels. cheers!

[@Arnoldjchang]

Sorry, I’m looking to go to 19’s. Goal is to get the 763m wheels. Thanks for the offer though!

[@SuperMendez14]

Highest priority specification

[@Justin-ph6rx]

Would love to know what you bought for and cost of maintenance stuff. Looking at getting an m4.. really don’t want to spend more than 50k seems to be tough. Impressive that you got an m3 w competition package for less than 55k ..

[@Arnoldjchang]

Hey, I bought the car for $54k but plus tax it was about $58k. I was fortunate the dealer made some mistakes so they were able to lower the price. I didn’t have the car long enough for maintenance costs, but from reading online, the car seems pretty reliable for a sports car.

[@Justin-ph6rx]

Arnold Chang thank you! God bless bro😃

[@luisrobertson6088]

Hey man, what kind of camera did you use for this video?

[@Arnoldjchang]

Sony a6400 with 16mm sigma lens

What is the exterior colour?

[@Arnoldjchang]

Black sapphire metallic. Beautiful color!

[@bolatbolat4598]

Hello bro. Very good video. I am BMW fan, choosing what car to buy. I want sedan, need a car that is made of steel(not plastic or aliminium). Have aggressive look. I was looking to m5 f90. Then m3 and now have a hard time to choose one. What would you suggest me? Which one is better you think. Monthes ago I was looking into i8 gran coupe, but then redecided because it is quite long car and I like meduim size long cars like 4800-5000. I am type of bmw fan who likes e34, but it is too old now. Thanks in advance.

[@Arnoldjchang]

Thanks! Oh man if I had the budget, I would go for a f90 m5! But definitely take both of them for a test drive. The M3 is a lot lighter and you’ll definitely have fun cutting corners. I’ve never driven the m5 so I can’t say, but judging by the reviews, it’s suuuper quick. 0-60 in 2.8 sec!

[@bolatbolat4598]

@@Arnoldjchang Oh ok. Thank you very much. Is a body of your m3 made of aliminium and plastic?

[@valsali5576]

Can't wait for you to mod the car by yourself.

[@leon24royal]

what is cost of ownership? and why do you have engine light on ?

[@Arnoldjchang]

Cost of ownership video coming soon! The engine light turns on when you turn the car on but once you start the engine it goes away.

[@jendersonpen7175]

I get good gas mileage on my f80 and I drive it in sport + throttle, MDM and manual mode on my dct

[@Arnoldjchang]

Jenderson Pen nice! Yea, for the amount of HP it has, the M3 surprisingly gets pretty good mpg

[@jendersonpen7175]

Arnold Chang yeah way better than my 2009 328i. You should get some spacers I’m looking at some from burger tuning. 20mm front and rear for $200 😎

[@AlexMelendez]

Is that screen a touch screen ??

[@Arnoldjchang]

Yes, I believe it is touchscreen for only the 2018 models

[@LoLPhuocDat]

. How much did you get yours for w/ how many miles?

[@Arnoldjchang]

I got it for $53k, ~$57k out the door. It had 22k miles with extended warranty

How are you only at sub 300 subs!?

[@FernandoHernandez-bw7st]

What are the maintenance cost? Has it been reliable??

[@Arnoldjchang]

Fernando Hernandez haven’t driven the car long enough to do maintenance yet but I’m planning to make a cost of ownership video, so stay tuned!

[@StreetDrivenDaily]

these cars are bullet proof, just the crank hub issue--- tune/downpipes, extra 100hp... on pump.

[@nike2126]

Hey, Arnold how much is it to fill up the tank on that beast?

[@Arnoldjchang]

Hey, I made a cost of ownership video, but it costed around $3.00 (average gas price in SoCal) x 15.8 gallon tank = ~$48 to fill up! Keep in mind this is on an empty tank.

[@nike2126]

Arnold Chang ohh ok and does the gas waste quick lol? Or it gets gas like crazy ?

[@nike2126]

Or is it good on gas *** ?

[@Arnoldjchang]

nike21 haha, just depends how you drive it. It’s estimated 18 city/26 hwy, so if you drive it conservatively you can get around 21mpg. If you drive it fast all the time then you’ll be averaging around 13-15 miles per gallon lol. I usually got to drive about 330 miles per fill up. Hope that helps
