BMW F80 M3 vs BMW G80 M3. Which Is The Better Choice!?

[@Kamkazee77]

F80 timeless look, still my dream car compared to G80. Clean build so far!

[@csboi]

Objectively great things about F80: 1. Lighter than both it's predecessor, AND it's successor (rare to ever happen) 2. First turbocharged M3 3. Last M3 with analog gauges 4. Last good looking M3 (it never had to grow on anyone, and was universally recognized as one of the best designs to ever come out of BMW ///M division (I didn't make it up) 5. All of the conveniences expected of a modern car (CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, home link, comfort access, HUD) 6. DCT

[@Thebigblackwasp]

agreed 100%

[@hkv]

the dct is the only thing I dislike in the f8x, i currently on an f30 340xi with the zf8 speed (same as g80) i personally like the zf8 over the 7 speed dct

[@csboi]

@@hkv That's pretty rare opinion I think, understandable if you are a fan of automatic transmissions in general. I hear good things about the ZF8 but it's essentially apples and oranges to DCT. What about the DCT do you dislike?

[@Nate_H.]

Great video and comparison. I just picked up my 2018 F80 comp (also in mineral grey but dct) on Friday. It's my first M car after coming from a modded cadillac cts-v and having driven both the g80 and the f80, I had no hesitation of going with the f80. There is something raw yet refined about the f80 that just does it for me. The g80 felt "softer" (for lack of a better word) in comparison, but no doubt it is also a great car. My f80 was 650+ miles away in the next state over, so I flew in and drove it home, and it was amazing on the ride home. Put it in "efficient" mode and I was getting 30mpg at times on the interstate, then when I wanted to have some fun, put it in sport plus and it's a completely different car. It does everything so well. In the end, it really came down to those factors and just how good it (still) looks.

[@tvshowstop1098]

yup! same exact reason why i bought a 2018 f80 comp over a 2022 g80 comp!

[@js002003]

Owned 2 f80s including a CS and 1 g80 xdrive and can confirm the g80 was night and day better. a lot Faster, more smooth transmission, no dead spot steering, and most importantly could actually put the power down unlike the f80s. the g80 felt like 2-3 models ahead of the f80. And the best part of the g80 xdrive is that it can be a rwd hooligan or an off the line rocket with just 1 press of the button. elite car.

[@benmiz9742]

Yeah they very nice. Had a drive of the G recently at a BMW dealer event track day and they are phenomenal. It’s just a shame they look like shit. Maybe in time it will grow on me but it’s night and day for looks between the F and G. The F is Cinderella while the G is the ugly step sister.

@@benmiz9742 yah the looks are not for everyone but, I preferred the looks of the g8x, especially in person. Neither the f8x or the g8x is classically beautiful so I liked the menacing/mean look of the g8x to the cuter/blah looks of the f8x. In all black, the g8x def has more of a presence on the road imo.

Hard disagree. Stock for stock it's close. But after u lower the g80 or g82 put a front splitter. Yellow drl. The adro grille and csl just look so good on it with the right aftermarket mods.

[@IdontKnow-fd6rp]

Awd is the biggest difference. I was in the same situation with my F82 heritage but once I drove the awd comp g82 it was an easy decision. One thing I will miss is the DCT

[@Psychos1s]

I bought the F80 zCP in mineral white brand new (my very first new car) in 2017. I still feel it has that timeless design but after hating the G8X aesthetic for over a year, I started to get FOMO. I grew to love the new design and now prefer it over the F80. It's definitely edgy and as you mention, you either love it or hate it. I finally got an allocation after waiting 9 months. Car arrived 4 months after that and traded in my F80. It's also the 50 Jahre Edition but in Lime Rock Grey with the carbon bucket seats. I paid $102K for it. I live in the Oregon with no sales tax and my local dealer had no markup on it like many others had at the time. I have no complaints. It puts the power down way better than the fishtail happy F80 and actually don't mind it at its stock height. I think the 19" wheels in front with bigger sidewall helps. Only thing I had to buy was the CF air inlets in the front and CF rear diffuser. I felt like I had to do a lot more to the F80 to be as happy as I am in my G80. It feels more premium and am digging all the modern updates. Your car looks super clean man! Cheers. -PS if you search for "bimmerpost forums The Journey to Ownership" you'll see my little writeup.

Great feedback! Always nice to hear people on both sides of the table. Glad to hear you are enjoying the g80. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t searched for one. They are incredible cars.

[@terrancecollins2696]

Coming from an E36, I can have more worrie free fun and get the satisfaction of sporty driving at normal road speeds. I have to applaud BMW for making the G80. Without a doubt, the G80 is the opitome of sport sedans especially with the manual trans.

Great video! I would love to see a DCT vs Manual comparison with another F80/F82 car. The DCT gear ratios and shift speed makes it feel much faster than the manuals long gears, would love to hear your opinion.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Thanks! I’ve driven dct in both the e90 and f80. It’s a great transmission and I do feel both of those chassis, the dct was designed around it. Very fast and fun to drive. I’m just a diehard manual guy so I need to have that engagement. But I 100% understand the appeal to the dct.

I was in the market for a G80, twice. I ended up buying an F80 M3 CS. I totaled it, and then bought another F80 M3 CS. I'll concede the G80 is for some people (S58 is fast, for sure), but certainly not for me. Too digital.

Nicely done review Scooby. I drive the G80 comp, coming from a superb M340i. And just like you said, It strikes a brilliant balance between being docile, GT like, and ferocious when you're in the mood. Looks wise, it's an acquired taste, like a fine carefully aged smelly cheese. It has a pungent, in your face quality.

[@shweatycardboards8954]

G80 all day every day. People hate on the front end but personally, it reminds me of a F-22 raptor. Riding down the highway and you see a G80 fly up to your rear...very intimidating street presence. F80 honestly just looks like every other bmw on the road.

[@starbai3619]

Can't deny the added performance of the G80. But the styling alone makes the F80 the no brainer for me. I know the G is a better peformer, but the F is far from a slouch and is an amazing experience in and of itself. I'd save a few bucks and have a much nicer car to look at.

If you have a g80 comp with xdrive, you know it's a massive step above in every way. I like that it's a bit larger and roomier. And if you get the full leather interior with carbon buckets, it's the perfect car for me man. Since I got mine, I dont even look at other cars anymore because the ones that are better than this are too much money. lol

[@M4csdtn]

Having both a g80 and an f82cs the g80s are the better daily. But the f8x is just special and raw. Hard to explain unless you drive it. More rewarding and special feels more like a car. The g80 feels likes a special machine but you as the driver feels numb. The g80 has the luxury interior only reason why I got it as I can't stand the front end and always look at the side and the rear lol.

Depends on the trim, but an xdrive comp with special color you are easily over 100.

Type in these and tell me it's not the best looking m4.. "720s and m4 play in the rain" "adro g82 m4 competition blue"

[@Autofreakgarage]

Unpopular opinion here, but I do not like the adro front end. Makes the g8x’s nose look even longer than it needs to be. Also for me, I don’t like the m4 for both the f82 and g82. Rear end looks soft in comparison to the more aggressive rear fenders of the m3. Lastly… that m4 is bagged. Major points knocked off for me on that haha.

[@bigbauer66]

It looks better with the adro, but It still looks off to me. Almost looks like a dodge charger grill

[@itshappening100]

Drove both... G82 M4 CS and F80 M3 Standard .... F80 M3 was fkn blast - the noise (why everyone complains i don't understand, it's awesome), the vibe, the feeling.... G82 was like playing playstation, absolutely disconnected emotionally imho

[@kentao4]

Both are great to me. I like the bigger size in my g80 because I’m a taller guy, have a family and need to be able to make it comfortable for them. That being said, I am concerned about the electronics but the luxury is top notch. I love the huge screen. I want all the tech in such an expensive car. I’m also the guy that wants the m3 and sunroof. It’s about having options in my book. That being said, I refuse to go automatic. Manual all day! Now I hated the front grill at first but there is no better looking headlights in the world. The halos are gorgeous and completes the menacing look in my book. I think the front is meaner looking than the f80. Now regarding price, it’s a bit unfair to compare the jahre edition. Out the door on mine, I was less than 90. Not cheap but def not 125. That’s not the norm - I know you mentioned it but it’s just not apples to apples. Base price on a new g80 is around the 75k mark. When it came to me choosing, being honest, I just don’t trust used M cars. People don’t buy these cars to cruise and I don’t want to inherit something someone else broke. I ordered my g80 and never have to guess how it was cared for.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Absolutely. Both are fantastic options. As mentioned, it came down to my situation and what I was looking for as a second car. As the all in one, the g80 is the better choice. The example I drove, yes it was an extreme. But pricing out an individual color, carbon buckets, executive pack, carbon exterior, and a few other options I’d want, it’s still in the 6 digits for me for a comp xdrive. A rwd base can easily be had for under that, but I was driving an example I would have purchased. Maybe not the jahre edition, but definitely a comp x drive. And buying used has both pros and cons. I got my f80 used (very low miles), but it’s all about the maintenance history. If it can be backed up, I don’t have an issue purchasing used. Just need to do the homework and get a ppi done.

[@kentao4]

@@Autofreakgarage all valid. I’m surprised you’d go from a manual f80 to a comp xdrive. Even with where you’re located- I’m outside Philly, I still refuse to drive an auto sports car even as a second car. Good thing is that there’s something for everyone. I went exec pack, Dravit grey was an up charge , mdrive pro manual, lasers. Love the cf on the interior, skipped it on the exterior but dealer ended up making a mistake and ordering the cf roof instead of my sunroof. Still mad but I’d still be waiting 10 mos later lol. Point is, I was going to do the sunroof and just do black ppf up top. If I would’ve elected cf roof, then I’d want all cf parts too to match. I did get a discount so I can’t complain too much. I’m already planning for the next one lol.

[@Autofreakgarage]

I am too. Manual is always a must for me, but I really like the comp and unfortunately, no manual option. I would love to drive a manual g80 and see what I think. Dravit is definitely my top color. As well as Portimao blue. Well, the good thing is. The carbon roof cars will hold better value since most people want them over the sunroof haha.

[@clubracer6]

I sold my F80 manual last fall with 65k. I just felt that in the next 10k your typical BMW gasket renewal program would be coming up, plus the crank hub and possible rod bearing replacement. On top of that, the ride would get to me at times and I my non full leather interior’s cheapness sometimes bugged me. I other stuff to drive, but now looking back into one car ideally… I think the G80 solves a lot of the issues, but I still do not like the front end and I would have to get a 22 or older to avoid that hideous display. I’ve had almost every generation of 3 series and have to say the F80 is a close 2nd to the E46 as all time best designs. My other option is a CT5V Blackwing, but that’s another $20k or so and I’d be at the gas station way more often due to the small gas tank and horrid MPG.

[@swoldierjan5332]

Performance wise G80 blows F80 out of the water. I’ve owned both. Looks wise, F80 all day. You have to do plenty to the G80 to make it presentable

[@benmiz9742]

That side by side at the end sums it up. G might have modern tech, better engine and sound, but it looks like shit compared to the F80. The curves and lines on the F80 are just gorgeous, and I also love the old school dash/taco. He is spot on the F80 is that perfect blend of transition from old(ish) to new. I’m hoping to pick one up in the next few months. Toss up between M3 F80 or the C63s. Can’t beat the sound of the merc, but I just love the look and simplicity of the M3 and it drives way way better through those twist and turns.

Starting to see about a $10k difference in price between super clean low mileage 2018 F80s and 2021 RWD G80s. Prices should go even lower with the lease returns this year. I’ve been looking for a more apples to apples comparison with rwd cars but I think it’s almost a no brainer on the better value with the newer tech, better performance, and warranty on the newer chassis.

[@Autofreakgarage]

You are talking about a very low optioned, stripper spec g8x. They can be had for 70-80 or so now depending on miles. But a fully optioned, final year f80, low mileage, you are in the low to mid 60’s. Either way, it’s a big gap for someone considering either one of these cars. The 10-15k difference is a big jump when buying a car for most.

Absolutely. I talk quite a bit about this in the video. But if the G80 had the carbon buckets and manual, I might have a different opinion.

[@MMMitchDrive]

Great video, valid points. Speaking to the 2 car vs 1, would you rather have a G83 or A F83 & E93. We currently have a 16' m4 and 13' M3. Both financed and could get into a 22' f83 for around the same monthly payment. But I'm bias, to the V8, I'd take a mint E93 M3 Manual over The F8x and G8X😅 but mine is dct and far from mint condition

[@Autofreakgarage]

Unfortunately, I am not a fan of any of the verts. I get the appeal, but they just don’t do it for me.

[@jmm5346]

My petty gripe is it doesn’t have a manual handbrake lol. My F80 is DCT but I always use my hand brake, been using it since my E46 and E92 just something satisfying about hearing that click.

Looks are very subjective, so I always recommend taking that with a grain of salt. But I do agree, they both look great! Faster isn't always the answer. I think most people get too caught up in numbers these days. And as of right now, yes the S58 seems to be a more reliable motor. BUT! As mentioned in the video, it is still very early to tell.

One thing to mention and its not a big deal when buying cars like this is the gas mileage. The G80 with X drive, more power and heavier is more fuel efficient then the F80 by a fair amount.

Absolutely was an extreme. The car was purchased over 1.5 years ago when market was even higher than it is now. But purchasing an individual color you are over the 100k mark. I can agree the special editions aren’t worth the investment, but it most certainly is to some. Plus it being the 50th year, can hold a bit more value as time passes.

Dude got ripped off for $125k. I've seen the Jahre edition sell for $20k less.

[@Aaron-yn4bk]

Yup he was straight robbed. Negotiation skills 0

[@itzjere]

Funny. I thought I was the only one annoyed by the lack of a HVAC sync on the F80.

[@Autofreakgarage]

You’re not alone!

[@MrDboy1979]

The G80 is faster and doesn’t have the crank hub issue but the F80 looks better so I’m going with the G80

[@jks1311]

G80 runs circles around the F80 from an engineering perspective - taste wise down to the individual

[@ashishpatel350]

f80 looks miles better the g80 is faster but not by that much and i doubt you will notice it on the streets. plus with going with the last gen youll save money and have money for mods.

[@G82Watts]

Trust me u will notice it. The old m4 are RWD cars. If u get the new xdrive m3 or m4 it would he night and day

[@MsTheSteffy]

Correct bud. G80 might launch better but in rollings and handling is pretty on par...G80 is heavier, bigger and the ZF gearbox just isnt as good. I almost upgraded to G80 twice now and had one to use for a week. Ended up sticking to my F80. But thats just me. The F80 is a better sports car experience and has alot more character.

[@jamsxr]

F80 is much cooler 👌

[@dustingre8]

The M5. F90 M5. That’s my choice.

[@user-ke1qj7up3e]

G8X. Faster, better tuning potential, you can make 800AWHP+ with stock turbo on BM3 platform !! Looks is subjective, to me G8X has modern look and more aggressive than F8X !!

[@stephenbennett6108]

G80 for me

[@wrongmark]

Surely the answer depends on whether you have an additional £20k lying around?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Not necessarily. I was heavily considering the g80 before I got my f80. Drove both extensively and chose the f80 due to the feeling and driving experience I felt. Both great cars, but my choice didn’t come down to cost.

[@gx4012]

F80 sounds waaay better but I am one of the odd few that like the look of the g80

[@Autofreakgarage]

You’ll be surprised how many like the g80! I too was one of the original naysayers when they first were released. But I actually love them now. Especially after seeing them modified, it’s a beautiful car.

[@mohammaddalloul9891]

G80 is superior in everyway Looks performance reliability interior

[@sparker.24]

F80 front grill looks more aggresive imo. Id get the G80 because its newer 😂

[@jeromerunko1453]

I've got a G87 if you want to do some comparisons....

[@Autofreakgarage]

Nice! Would love to get some seat time in a g87.

[@jeromerunko1453]

@@Autofreakgarage we can definitely set something up once I get my PPF and tint..

[@undercoverlc]

Can’t even compare these cars when the G80 punches $100K-$200K outside of its weight class. I can’t lose on the street because I’m either just faster or the guy in the super car is embarrassing himself trying to catch up or stay ahead.

F80 comp or cs? Need a weekender

[@Autofreakgarage]

Do you want a Manual or dct?

[@Autofreakgarage]

@sunnykgaming2541 I would go for the cs then since that only comes in manual.

G80C for the AWD

[@ronintheamazon1492]

That is a base model g80 for 120k lol non full leather and non bucket seats. Your friend got railed

[@BeetleOnroids]

Ouch 125k with no buckets or CCB on the G80…

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yeah, tough pill to swallow for sure! But, anything and everything is worth it to someone.

[@alexadjekum1543]

125k for g80, that’s crazy, you can 3 f80s and still have some money left over

[@ojayhenry9061]

f80 with g80 interior....done

[@R_Escobar_13]

What do you think of the new M2?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Rear end needs a revision. But otherwise good car.

[@R_Escobar_13]

@@Autofreakgarage I feel the same way but it’s growing on me when I see it lowered with a body kit

[@Angel-fh6xc]

What is the name of the color of your f80?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Mineral grey metallic

[@GolfCoyote]

I don’t think it’s fair to compare the MSRP of this weird limited edition when talking about the G80 in general terms. Just me though.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Any xdrive comp with an individual color will be over 100k. With a normal color selected, it’s still 90’s plus tax title and fees you are over 100.

[@GolfCoyote]

@@Autofreakgarage 90 and 125 are a huuuuuge difference. I agree at 125k it doesn’t make sense but in that low 90 range it’s a more compelling argument.

[@SRTKOVA]

Front end looks so aggressive

[@MCompeticione]

The G80 doesnt make sense its too big to slide around unlike an F80. That being said the G87 with Xdrive is the car to have in a couple years.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Both are easy to get the rear end out. The g80 has capabilities to change from AWD to most rwd with a press of a button. Big yes, but extremely easy to throw around if you want. I think the f87 m2 cs is going to be the m2 to want as the years go by.

[@G82Watts]

​@@Autofreakgaragethe way u talk makes me wonder why u don't have an m2. It seems that would suit what u want best.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Drove a few and enjoyed the m2. Was looking into an f87 m2 comp for a while, but for roughly around the same price, I was able to get into an f80. Which personally, I think looks better and you get a bit more for the cost. 2 extra doors and a bit more space.

[@G82Watts]

@@Autofreakgarage yea they do look better. I've came to love the new m2 though. Espicially with aftermarket stuff done. Frozen black with yellow drl are the best combo u can get for the new m2 m3 and m4.

[@dirtysock1able]

Porshe is not 120k maybe north of 150+

[@Autofreakgarage]

Brand new base Carrera is 114. Cayman’s start at 68. Can easily get into a proper, nicely spec’d p car for under 120 brand new. Not to mention used market, you can get gts’s, gt4’s, and some higher mileage 997 gt3’s for 120 or under.

[@iniquitousreads]

I don’t get the hype they look like regular sedans

[@thomasburns3345]

G80 better motor, f80 runs away with the rest of the categories imo. S58 powered F80 is the dream…

[@Aaron-yn4bk]

$125k with grandpa seats. WTF? 😂
