Any Better? 2025 BMW M3 G80 LCI 0-60 3.1 Seconds! | 4k

[@johngoodwin1710]

All black with bright silver wheels is a classic combo ✅

[@I_am_Jesus_though]

A really really nice look

[@Sylvester_Mashile]

Indeed

[@zhanpengwang3036]

you mean the drvg dealer look?

[@pain.497]

Yeah black rims does not do it justice

[@jerezM392]

Probably an unpopular take, but my god these silver rims just look so much "cleaner" than any black ones. I wish they made some kind of classic kidneys with small chrome accent around, just like in the oldern days - basically a 911 GT-Touring spec 😅

[@harbzsquadings2277]

Na i agree with your take

[@Fullsend3000w]

The silver rims and midnight purple would go so well

[@memememine1]

I agree the 825m wheels look awesome in the all silver finish. They look great on the new m2 as well. I’m surprised they didn’t offer it for the earlier year cars.

[@Creativemindlikefinewine]

I agree, which makes it look so much more modern.

[@JohnnyMQB]

was gonna echo that myself i feel diamond cuts are now overused they're on everything, sometimes the simpler designs look better especially with a slightly meatier tyre 👍

[@rare6499]

The wheels in silver are absolute perfection. Please start offering more ‘classic’ wheels BMW!

[@heistkev]

Couldn’t agree more. All these black wheels are getting tired (tyred*)

[@-BuddyGuy]

I have always disliked black rims and smoked lights. Someone mean doesn't spend money to make their car look meaner. So what's it telling you about the driver

[@welcomeghosts_uk]

Cars getting ever-faster whilst the roads get ever-slower.

[@Chris-nj1mr]

True. More power to mask the lack of feel and emotion. There's a lot of fun to have in an older, lighter, lower powered (say mx5) thrashing it at slower speeds!

[@stu4181]

And if you get on a good road there is so much traffic you can’t string a couple of bends together at any pace

[@alisonsmith3817]

Correct complete waste of time in the uk Rds are terrible, cameras everywhere, you can only go as fast as the train in frt Pointless

[@pain.497]

Maybe in the UK but not in the US

[@truthinlifewoken6698]

I know london you have 20mph limit roads 70mph max motorway 😂

[@jonlowndes7612]

The mods on this car are subtle and done right. It's how it should have come out of the factory! Great review Joe!

[@petertilsley3015]

Silver wheels/black bimmer....mon dieu, its a classic combo. Will never go out of date. Thanks for an interesting & informative review.

[@antonoat]

Probably the nicest looking BMW wheels I've ever seen, the whole car looks very nice indeed ! Would look pretty outstanding in silver too!

[@shahanrashid]

Have never liked black wheels on any car unless they are bi-colour, but absolutely love these silver ones. They look very classy!

[@maxjtj31]

E60 vibes with those wheels and black paint

[@richardhill9473]

Carbon Black and a set of spyders, loved my old E60's

[@philips6182]

Black with silver wheel spec is spot on

[@sellomoeti981]

My gosh those rims look immaculate!😻

[@JayKay911]

Thank you Joe, finally a review of the LCI model. I already ordered mine and wasn't sure if I shouldn't have bought the pre-LCI model, but your review reassured me that it was a good choice! 😀 Can't wait, just few weeks till it arrives.

[@georgimihalkov4781]

I usually am not the biggest fan of black cars, but it looks really good on this car. The whole spec and mods are absolutely perfect, Tony is a man of great taste!

[@rajchoudhury5130]

Looks lovely those wheels look beautiful in silver.

[@imakegetsugatenshou]

bright silver wheels always looking good

[@Mr-RP]

Absolutely stunning spec that M3... exterior and interior wise is on point. Silver wheels are absolutely epic.... shows of the alloy more than any dark grey or gloss black colour. It's got a bit of an M5 F90 resemblance in that spec... love it 🔥💯

[@ms3ben]

Interesting and great to hear about the improved ride quality. This has been one of my primary complaints with the M3/4 as a daily, being too harsh of a ride in comfort mode.

[@mistszkris]

I wish you could get those wheels with m340i. Black + silver wheels + chrome elements is in my opinion the best look for a sports car.

[@emmo119]

been waiting for a 2025 review! Glad to hear it has improved!

[@andrewsnape1705]

Gorgeous car and a fantastic review - Thanks Joe & Tony. Love that interior nd if it was mine, I'd debadge and lose that boot spoiler; its the ultimate Q-car in many ways

[@LeonWiddicombe]

That is the ultimate spec M3 for me.. the wheel design, in silver, not over sized against the black is sublime..

[@astradala1845]

That is an absolutely stunning car. The silver rims make it look great

[@pevvex4452]

Buy M3 now if you can because it won’t get any better. In fact it will only get worst with next generation when they will add pointless plug in system like M5 or make it crap EV.

[@connect4558]

Horrendous deprecation, might be a nice car but no thank you! AIMHO🤷‍♂️

[@pevvex4452]

@ learn to enjoy life even if it cost you money. You won’t take money with you when you die so spend then while you can.

[@connect4558]

@ I don’t disagree with you, but it’s very hard to change the thrifty habits of 60 years! I also want to give my kids a good start in life and my wife had breast cancer and her insurance premiums went through the roof. She’s worried about it coming back and if we can’t afford the cover and I feel I owe her what little comfort I can give.🤷‍♂️

[@OneTwoThreePunch]

@@connect4558my G80 is worth almost as much as I paid 2 years ago. While I only have 6k miles on it they are holding their value well hence the price increase. 911’s are holding their value extremely well too should you need to get out of it. My 911T at sticker is worth 10k more the second I drive off the lot. Granted I order and wait patiently to pay sticker but some people want things now and are willing to pay a premium

[@gzaman326]

@@connect4558 M3 Xdrives don't seem to be depreciating at all in the US? It's no 911 but as far as resale value goes, they're holding up very well. At least in the states. A 2022 Xdrive that's decently equipped is still in the mid 70's

[@kevinneary2283]

Good to see you in a BMW you are the trusted voice of performance BMWs .Silver wheels amazing car looks great 👍

[@chrisburry8147]

The new LCI steering wheel is exactly the same width around the 10 and 2 notches. I have a 2024 and just changed to the LCI steering wheel and measured both, and they are exactly the same. The flat bottom is personal preference, but coming from Audi's, I love it! Looks and feels much more aggressive in my opinion.

[@JoeAchilles1]

It's definitely wider at 9 and 12 where your hands go.

[@chrisburry8147]

it's not. I have both wheels right in front of me. I can measure them if you would like

[@AnnoyedGlobe-sf9yo]

[@greggardiner9565]

I’ve never understood the black wheel !!! First thing I changed on my thunder night metallic M240i were the wheels. Now bright silver forged. Looks so good.

[@The_Stanman]

Yes, black wheels need to go the way of the dinosaur. They completely hide the wheel design.

[@derekmorrison4239]

Awesome color combo looks insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheoFennel]

I stopped calling Croydon Kent from when i lived there. I've moved near Brands Hatch now and we have very good roads here.

[@PeterDineley]

Same issue up north, Merseyside etc although parts of North Wales do have some excellent well maintained tarmac

[@LimaPapa]

Totally agree with the road/speed rant, zero point owning cars like these anymore in the UK - never a decent road to use them on!

[@992seefouress]

The ride improvement is noticeable- definitely makes the the LCI a comfortable daily driver.

[@salc349]

Nice to see you on here as well! 😀

[@airjaff]

These are the first lci headlights I really do not like, can't believe they got rid of the halos! Bmw has lost it man!

[@G82Watts]

I honestly like both. I think the new lights compliments the bottom carbon fiber slant on each side. More cohesive. Imagine a red drl module for them with a blacked out car

[@biafo4541]

Agreed, the halos are classic. The previous lights were fine, we were hoping that with this facelift they lifted the face...off

[@Muzzy25]

What an impeccably clean and stunningly gorgeous M3 that is!

[@Youppp]

@joeachillies @2:52 No carbon roof is so not a hard decision. I love sunroofs on my beamers. They also add value at resale. Keep the content coming Joe 👍🏻

[@ashmeada]

TRL going for the sleeper spec M3 🙌 perfect colour and wheel combo 💥

[@billyzahid5904]

as someone who absolutely hates hates new cars and their looks, at last a new car that i actually think, holy crap that looks amazing. And this is coming from someone who is a merc guy throughout, with a w204 c63 facelift. defo one to ill be buying when it depreciates to £20k.

[@kornonacob]

Luckily i didn't get the pre lci car...now can order the lci m3 model 😊

[@irGuilty]

The flat bottom wheel is the icing on the cake

[@richardwalther6229]

I recall when 300hp was a lot of grunt for any sports car. My 2005 Audi S4 had 340hp and the M3 of that era had around 333. BMW had to go up to a V8 engine to reach 400hp in those days (mid 2000s). What a difference this era of turbocharging has made for power figures! BTW: silver wheels > black wheels.

[@andrealocatelli5637]

Agree with Tony. The pre-LCI vents were more classy and elegant. Too bad they changed them over the whole range of 2, 3, and 4 series.

[@kingfamer420]

I have a 23 Xdrive and a 24 manual. I’ve noticed the ride feels better on the manual because the wheels are smaller non comp. I’ve also had a 21 rwd competition. So the wheels you’re riding on play a big role on ride comfort.

[@irishphil9480]

Stunning spec. Alloys and boot spoiler really work!

[@jerfly9929]

I'm glad you mentioned steering feel. Thank you

[@urbanfibua]

Respect. Wearing shock watch. ❤

[@patrickrowe1024]

What a clean looking m3 perfect colour combo ❤

[@Levente20]

this car has literally no competition. no other brand comes close

[@Hm32271]

New audi rs4(5) incoming next year.

[@PEACEOUTXX1]

​@@Hm32271lol audi will never be better then bmw. I can see people that like mercedes but audi? No. Cheap Volkswagen cars.

[@Hm32271]

@@PEACEOUTXX1 I drive a kia so I haven't really got a dog in the fight, but I think bmw, audi and merc they're all the same and just a big con and the best way to keep you in perpetual poverty.

[@TranceFur]

@Hm32271 They’re not meant for people who even have a chance of being in poverty. Don’t buy cars you can’t afford. People who buy new M3’s should be making at least a stable $140k-150k per year, and have all their other finances worked out.

[@Hm32271]

@TranceFur the reality of who is actually buying these cars is very different and everyone knows it.

[@daraghmorrissey]

I love it. I might be only person that doesnt like the grille - it might be an illusion with the black- but it looks the grille is missing or taken off for repair.

[@Twinkletoes78]

Black makes the normally amazing looking M3 look like a 320d. I much prefer the old style headlights too. But the question is, would I have one. Of course I would

[@bmw_phc]

Great video Joe. Agree with you in on the 50th anniversary badges, iD7 over iD8 screen and the round over the flat bottom wheel.

[@Brandon-kg3pl]

BMW did a great job with this LCI👌

[@fastbikes67]

Thanks Joe. Valuable and insightful as always. You’re the best on TV. My G80 LCI hits US shores this week.

[@chriss2517]

I went with a similar look on my 2024, black vorsteiner grill, black m performance style lip and black break ducts. I thought it might look too "murdered out" but thankfully it looks very OEM plus.

[@Lord.Crawford]

Fantastic review Sir, really considering selling our 840i Gran Coupe and getting a 2022 G80 M3 for the family car

[@Markyb444]

Fabulous looking car. Love the wheels 👌

[@albundy5992]

The Bladerunners are doing some excellent public services.

[@kyronrc]

Black on silver suits this car VERY well. Id say its the best combo because it hides the gawping grill.

[@SamAustin]

Joe you are in your element with the M3! So much knowledge and I had no idea about the LCI. With the subtle changes from the looks it may seem on the face of it the LCI is not worth it but the extra power along with the "CS" inspired tweaks it seems like a great a great update. Also, loving the touches from Motech to enhance the looks. Great review as always Joe 😊

[@lwandonolutshungu5481]

Proper spec bro ❤😮😮

[@ooga.booga69420]

hey joe, you should review the alpina b3 gt and see how it compares to this m3 lci interms of comfort, power and daily drivability......... nice video btw

[@simongrantham3347]

Finally a bmw/m3 video!

[@01pabz]

That spec is perfect

[@Way2fast4u82]

BMW just killing it at the moment. Would love a G80

[@bestleyg]

I usually hate the beaver 🦫 grill but in that spec… that M3 looks fantastic!

[@geoffchaplin2123]

great review Joe, got a 911 cab but have always listed after an M3 or M4 !

[@Whiponized]

those rear lights are sick

[@TheRealDarkSpoon]

I've had my M3T LCI since the end of August. Love every thing about it. Great video Joe.

[@Creativemindlikefinewine]

Those shift speeds sound DCT quick!!!

[@samcas707]

Great timing, I just picked up my lci touring here in Australia. I noticed the steering and ride especially straight away compared to previous car. I have a Cayenne gts coupe going into production in Feb for the comfy daily role, and questioning whether I actually need it. I could daily the touring and buy say a 992.2 instead

[@shayzee2007]

That is my favourite spec on a g80 so far. I would want mine excatly the same as that. Tony you nailed it mate 💪

[@DoctorSpeedy1050]

Wonder how this compares to the pre-LCI coded with CS steering and transmission software. Just submitted my G80 xdrive order yesterday and this confirms my choice.

[@davidturnbull2270]

Great video Joe really interested in the new LCI but think I prefer my current M3 Touring - love the laser lights and you know what having the heated steering wheel button on the steering wheel and not in the Idrive is better. Love the alloys though! Thanks again for another awesome review.

Thanks, Joe for striving so hard to bring across how these cars feel and behave, and thanks so much for showing us this simply stunning piece of kit. Congrats Mr. TRL, what a nice car! The only thing I would change personally is I would have gone for some Motech wheels as well maybe some MW-X but that's just me🤭

[@justjeff5096]

Quite refreshing I’m so over black wheels I never understood it on a dark colored car.

[@My_Auto_Chronicles]

The speed limits are being changed by all local authorities from national to 40mph because the minimum maintenance requirements drop. 40 limits are about saving money on maintenance. ☹️

[@lgx2410]

The touring should have a sunroof option, particularly given you can't spec the carbon roof.

[@matthewo3289]

Guessing you’ve not driven a Tom Wrigley performance m3? My G81 has 870hp if you fancy a drive 🙋‍♂️🥶

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I am loving the silver wheels Joe!

[@sandweiler4640]

These rims are great and they look perfect with the black paint. However, they will never look like this if you drive the car: maintaining them spotless will be impossible because of the brakes dust. Ordered a black M2 with black rims. Can’t wait for delivery in march 2025.

[@Feledwards]

Just check the box for the carbon ceramic brakes.

[@unjustkatana]

The way this version was made, it looks like it was meant to be a classic car down the road.

[@ahorton6786]

Those silver wheels make the car look a little old school, and I like that at my age.

[@eddiemichael4333]

Some people like thin girly stearing wheel, some people like the nice to grab new stearing wheel. That M3 looks great 🎉

[@JoeAchilles1]

"Thin girly" - Are you stuck in the 1970's? *Steering wheel

[@fastbikes67]

My e30 has a “thin-girly” wheel. I hate it. IMHO - my Tesla S’s wheel is perfect thickness. I have a G80 due mid-Dec so looking forward to that fat wheel.

[@camelsac]

[@ianm4316]

Nice looking with the silver wheels for a change👌 Although no buckets🤔I am thinking it's because Tony uses it as a daily and it's not the fact it's an age related thing he can't get out of them😜
