[@ahmedmack2410]

[@nixwrx]

bouta buy one , u love it? lol

MaaaaaaaaaaaN

[@joe75kg]

looking at one for college 2018 m3 for 47k and 69k miles, is that a good deal?

[@nixwrx]

@@joe75kg not bad

[@jaestreets751]

Yesiirrrrr. Waiting on April of 2025 to finally get mine. Until then it’s just me and my N54 E60. 🫡🏁🏴‍☠️🏁

[@lrnasigo1]

Great Video and Information. Since my factory warranty runs through July 2023, I’ve kept mine bone stock. Not one modification or additional money has been spent on my F80 6MT. I heavily modified my (daily) Audi B8.5 Allroad on the other hand.

[@TheDailyDriven]

Thank you! Much appreciated. The F80 m3 is an amazing car stock. One way or the other, the mod bug is going to get us lol

[@ShrugMedia]

Very helpful information! I was lucky enough to get my 2018 F80 with 15k miles and it was a lease return so it wasn’t modified and the vehicle had all the service history and was very well kept.

[@TheDailyDriven]

Yeah you got a hella great deal brother. The car looks brand new and the color combo is solid choice.

[@HadiShash]

Great deal

[@TheDailyDriven]

🤘🏻

[@user-yo6cb1sf2n]

For how much?

[@SamAcevedo]

The F80s are one of my favorite BMWs ... I definitely want to upgrade to one, but the current car market is crazy! Love your car - keep it up.

[@TheDailyDriven]

Thank you bro. Much appreciated. Its def. a great platform. Tons of supporting mods and the community is solid. Youll be able to see it at the Invasion of Orlando !

[@RANGOF90]

@SamAcevedo should bought car market is worse now

[@8000audiolab]

great video just upgraded from a 35d to a 75000 mile m4 and i am very happy,the difference is not about straight line speed as a mapped 35d will beat the m4 but the way it drives and how it makes you feel and if you are an m3/4 owner you will know what i mean

[@TheDailyDriven]

Thank you for checking out the video much appreciate! Enjoy your M4!

[@TheKingdomSecrets]

You got balls buying a beemer over 70k miles.. but it seems like the stories I been hearing hasn't applied much to f80s.. How has it been driving??

[@8000audiolab]

@@TheKingdomSecrets hi perfect got it last year in march its my weekend/summer car and i drive it seriously hard sports plus and 3 on the gearbox and done 160mph a couple of weeks(on the autobahn obviously). want to get a newer one just wish the g80 looked better as i know it is the better car but may just go for a 20 plate f80

[@TheKingdomSecrets]

@@8000audiolab Good to hear! Seems like these s55 engines are more on bmw's reliable end because so much can be said badly on n55's but not to s55's (crankhub at most).

[@skrrtproductions]

Great points as always brotha. A PPI saved me from buying a used car before.

[@TheDailyDriven]

Absolutely is necessary just to avoid those unknown headaches 💯

[@217Jeezy]

These are some great tips that I didn’t even consider. Great vid my man.

[@TheDailyDriven]

Thank you ! Much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@nicklevin9321]

75% are modified? Where did you source this data? Or is it your best guess?

[@F80Ho]

PPI is def the way to go for that peace of mind! Glad our boy Jon got that engine cause February is going to be a movieee 🎥

[@TheDailyDriven]

Feb going to be a movie 🎬 with some vlog-ceptions 🤣🤘🏻

[@Batmanforever6969]

Ppf is def necessary. I’ve had it on for years and my front bumper is spotless. I know a guy who doesn’t have it and his bumper paint is extremely chipped.

[@TheDailyDriven]

Totally agree. My next build will probably get a full ppf job

[@Batmanforever6969]

@@TheDailyDriven Idk about getting a full ppf because then it will make the paint look dull, but on high rock contact areas for sure

[@alecddaniels]

Such an amazingly formatted video. Very helpful!

[@TheDailyDriven]

Thank you. Im glad i could help! 🤘🏻

[@chrisvlogz6206]

What's it like beating on these things? Drift, drag, ETC. Such a car should be DRIVEN

[@CarsWithKeav]

Heidi was Dinan stage 2 tuned from day 1 and I didn’t find out until months after buying. Found the Dinan sticker in the engine bay. They took it out after bringing in on lease.

[@youoweme1721]

Hey i know it's been years but i really want to get a bmw M but what I really worry about is the ride height. How can I deal with driving on different road conditions? Road bumps, pavements, inclines (the top and bottom transitions), tight spaces.

[@ThatB5GUY]

So I should trade my gen 3 5.0 for a f80 ?

[@reyes3532]

was that video with silver m4 in jersey?? 👀

[@TheDailyDriven]

Yes sir 🤘🏻

[@peterqu6369]

just got an f82 mineral white, like ur content dude, instantly subscribed. Is there any difference between PPF and ceremic coating? Which one you recommend ? Thx man

[@TheDailyDriven]

Thanks Peter! Appreciate it. The difference between PPF and ceramic coating is huge. The PPF is a layer of clear durable plastic that gets put onto the exterior of the car. It helps prevent rock chips onto the paint. Ceramic coating is a layer of protection that is applied onto the exterior of the paint. This won't protect against rock chips. Its common to have the front portion of the car to be PPF'd since that is the high impact area. Hope that helps.

[@peterqu6369]

@@TheDailyDriven thx buddy, probably going for an PPF then,

[@jayman3575]

Did the monthly premium for this mechanical coverage go up since the video started or same price?

[@TheDailyDriven]

It does vary depending on which state you live in. For example FL seems to be relatively cheap but my father in GA was quoted way higher on an X3.

[@Flushandfit]

So what do I look out for?

[@FastlaneHero]

Love the channel bro!!! Keep up the great work! Car looks so damn nice too!!!

[@TheDailyDriven]

Thank you! Much appreciated ! Happy holidays

[@FastlaneHero]

@@TheDailyDriven same to you brotha! Happy holidays.

[@HasanQazi]

Any suggestions for a good PPI company? Thanks!!

[@TheDailyDriven]

There's really no National PPI company that I know of. You really just need to ask around in your local area. Maybe look on the forums where somebody has used and they can give you somebody they highly recommend but that's very difficult to to give you where I don't know where you live and stuff. But try the forums

[@HasanQazi]

@@TheDailyDriven appreciate the response! I live in LA but I found an F80 in Chicago that checks my boxes. I've been looking at a shop that can take a look, thanks for the idea of checking the forums. Have you heard of Lemon Squad?

[@TheDailyDriven]

Never heard of lemon squad tbh. Dynamic BMW is actually a sponsor of our next event this weekend. They are from Chicago. instagram.com/dynamicbmw?igshid=MDM4ZDc5MmU= Reach out to them. I'm sure they do good work and might be able to do a ppi

[@greatness_arives925]

I’m about to pull the trigger on a 16’ m4 with 78k miles on it for 40k, will do a ppi, what do you think tho?

[@TheDailyDriven]

It all depends on the color, condition, transmission, any accidents and ect. There's a lot of other factors that you'll need to evaluate if it makes sense as a good deal.

[@greatness_arives925]

@@TheDailyDriven no accidents, fully optioned, dct, CARFAX doesn’t have much service history, I’m guessing the owners took to private shoots instead of the dealership, gray exterior with white interior. The dealer that’s selling it to me replaced the valve cover gaskets and oil pan so I’m guessing they are adding that to the price

[@greatness_arives925]

@@TheDailyDriven an extended warranty company is willing to sell me a 5 year/ 50k miles bumper to bumper for 3600. Comes out to 60 bucks a month. Been looking to buy for 6 months since I got my job and really appreciate any advice you can offer!

[@TheDailyDriven]

Here's one thing to look at. How "in love" are you with this spec? Is this the color combo or options you wanted. I say if you've waited this long for one, maybe find the right spec you want. For me I had to have Austin Yellow and a six speed. I didn't care for the options. That price seems to be fair for the current market, especially it being no accidents. It does suck that there's no service history.

[@TheDailyDriven]

You can also check the forums for people selling. Their f8x. f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=625

[@clautaire]

You spoke of nothing pertaining to the F80 specifically. What mechanical or electrical issues tend to arise with these cars? What are the weak points ? What are the remedies to these issues if any? Great points in regard to buying any used vehicle, but nothing specific directed the specific make and model of which someone doing research on would need.

[@lancercool1992]

How long does it take him to mention the crankhub

[@TheDailyDriven]

I wouldn't even worry about that Wei. Just end the video if you're asking that.

[@Pepecoin123]

Lol

[@hiramaragon1903]

I was looking at a 2018 f80 m3 and it’s listed for 63k$ is it over priced ? Or is this usually what they run for ?

[@TheDailyDriven]

That depends on mileage, how many owners, paint condition and ect.
