0:15 that body line from front vent to the tail lights is the thing that makes the exterior of both F80 M3 and F82 M4 superior to the G80/G82. On the new one it looks like designers didn't know what they want to do with the body lines. On M3 it looks somewhat good but not as awesome as on F8x

[@danielheathcote5625]

Watching the laps, I thought the older car looked like it was much more composed - almost to the point you weren’t pushing it so hard!

[@markrhoden68]

Quite disheartening by the new car, thought it would be miles ahead of the older car. I guess I should say its a credit to how good the old car was/is

[@strongerandwiser2023]

specially when the new ones are over 80k! Just couldn't justify it could you. The depreciation is bound to be massive on them too. Wait a few years and might be a bargain when you can get them for 35k.

[@nightdriver7216]

Don't get fooled. Almost every journalist hated the F82 when it came out. The new one being better doesn't fit the narrative of "they don't make them like they used to" applied to most manufacturers except Porsche, Honda and Toyota.

[@TRIKushbeachside]

Really wish BMW M would have left the Stunning F80/82 exterior alone and just updated the interior and Tuned the engine. The G series isn’t ugly but it’s not a masterpiece like the F80.

[@allentan2513]

Hi Joe, another excellent video! As an F80 M3 owner, I looked at the specs of the G80 and saw minimal performance differences (probably due to the increased weight). This video has shown that the gearbox on the G80 is somewhat laggy as well. I still cannot get over 1) the ugly grille and 2) the broken hoffmeister kink on the new 3 series. As a 25 year BMW owner (3s, 5s, Ms, Zs and 7s over the years) this generation 3 series unfortunately brings bad memories of the Bangle 7 series (ugly then, ugly now). The F8X M cars have defined flanks, very flared wheel arches, the power dome and proper sized grilles. The marginal improvement in performance and the design of the G8X cars means there is little compelling reason to change to the new car.

[@TheKennyG64]

Great video Joe! I have an F83 (convertible) and i love the way it looks. Had me wondering if i made the right choice when i bought it 14 months ago. This video was really eye opening for me. The new version looks great - but I think the older one looked better and the difference in performance is not enough of a difference to make me have buyers remorse!

[@comeberza]

I want that car too, the f83 is spectacular

[@odiesback]

I owned an E92 Comp for 5 years and a F82 for 3. Both brand new. While the F82 was an incredible car I will always remember the E92 as the best car I have ever owned. - the most significant difference was the steering. I never had the same confidence in the F82 like I did in the E92. - moving on and can’t wait for the G82.

Guys thanks for the video - I’m actually quite surprised and definitely pleased with the results! I recon my F82 might be sticking around for a bit longer.....

[@strongerandwiser2023]

Big step forward ? Interior I would agree but performance and handling and looks certainly not. If anything the size and weight is a step backwards.

[@javidrana3720]

Ive got a black M4 comp with red leather. 🔥. Just make sure to get the 'icon led' lights and the adaptive leds - this grey m4 looks great but doesnt have the icon's. IMO icon leds looks amazing and sharper and more modern and make the car look almost new. A chap came up to me in a petrol station a couple of days ago and said he has 2020 M4 too but my lights look so much striking. I explained that I have the icon led pack and he said his dealer told him he that. He didnt realise actually had the bmw adaptive led and felt ripped off after I showed him the light design on my car. He was gutted. For me it was a dealer break. You wont regret the f82, amazing and most colours look great anyhow. Snb was my first choice but I couldnt get red leather combi so went for black. No regrets! I still think they look better than the g82 but not seen new m4 yet

[@Sarg88SB]

After watching this I got the m4 compétition and put it in stage 2 … man i will never regret ! Although I was hesitating but really now I can literally eat the new m4 compétition … it’s just a waste of money the f82 in stage 2 is better looking and better in performance

I love the sound of a good S55 as well. How do you think the steering in the new M4 feels compared to the M2 CS? The CS has the most ballistic turn-in that I’ve ever felt in a car. Thanks for the video!

[@airjaff]

I've seen the new version of the m4 in person. Looks meaner, but it does not look as good as the old one. You need as dark as possible on the new one so you don't see the grill, the lighter colours make it look really bad. I'll take the old one any day!

[@ItumelengS]

I agree it looks like a work of art, not this new thing

[@mixworks-de]

What the ZF automatic does in auto/sport mode: it brings up the engine revs and hovers there for more power while using the torque converter until engine/gear shaft revs match. That increases power and torque for a moment - you can see this (and hear it) when the G82 takes of in auto mode. The DCT can't do that (other than in launch control mode).
