Sell, but pretty sure you won’t get the money you want for it!

Keep

[@MeijaJanis]

its crazy if someone would consider to buy this car with no parts on it considering who you guys are. masterpiece.

[@rajjy1976]

I’ll give you my E46 325i, low mileage and I’ll chuck in £5k on top. Plus I’ll bring up some samosas.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Lifetime supply and we could be convinced 👀

F80 M3 looks , power and sound for me is unbeatable and so unique. Would be a shame if you sold it in my opinion.

[@lloyd.8272]

Agree with keeping the m2, I had mine for nearly 6 years. It’s got so much character, defiantly going to be keeping it for a long while yet.

[@TimChump]

Stunning looking M3

[@_ABC_123]

This was the car that made me aware of Evolve

[@russellmuir1690]

This is the best looking m3 after the e30

[@ShogunsDojo]

Intro montage was lit. I’m still yet to drive an M3 but it seems like the F80 generation is the most focused and demanding towards the driver in order to get the best from it (tricky to drive). Seems like it has a lot of character because of that though and this is a very nice individual car… surely worth keeping!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

No where near the best M3!

[@1993j]

@@EvolveAutomotive Would you recommend the f80 m3 over the e92 as a daily? (Based on less maintenance?)

[@EvolveAutomotive]

@@1993j as a daily makes more sense

[@IamnotClarissaOakes]

That was a brutally honest sales pitch! The overall finish of it is perfect imo - perfect balance between aggressive lines/posture and Q car BMW look. Really nice work.

[@alexrico9989]

Great review and video per usual. I'm biased but I plan on keeping my F80 as long the car wants me to!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Enjoy it in good health! :)

[@AmanJandu]

I always remember seeing Vyper 1.0 wrecked in the workshop on the FK2 Dyno Day, was quite a sad sight

[@BoHorror]

I rate, keep the Car. There’s no really harm in keeping it, and it will serve as a pleasant reminder of where you’ve come from/ what you’ve been through. Like a neat mantle piece

[@garywoodcock4634]

Oh I would so so buy it in a heartbeat….love all the work evolve do on BMWs…

[@Dk-sx2sd]

You guy do phenomenal work

[@ralphpeiris5996]

The F80 M3 is BEAUTIFUL!!! Keep it

[@PANN1Cau]

I’d love to see you keep it and convert to a single turbo to really just push the envelope. But time and other priorities is wholly understandable. Hopefully it goes to a new owner who appreciates it.

[@BoHorror]

I don’t think it would be as responsive if it were just a single turbo

[@PANN1Cau]

@@BoHorror yeah it’s a different power delivery with the single, but that’s why I said to push the envelope. Also sounds miles better with a single turbo.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

No point would rather put the effort and funds into the G82 which can put the power down.

[@jamieleanderson]

Sucks as I would love for you guys to keep developing the F8X chassis. Seems as if most companies or moving on focusing on the next thing.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

The car has been out for quite about 8 years now, so like us most companies have pretty much completed all the projects planned for the platform.

[@zakvincyyouth4346]

That's such a beautiful car, wish I had the money to buy it as it is 👌🏾

[@zloklau]

I would keep but if in business views, it's no longer needed. And Holy shit!!! 🤯 Is it already 5 years? If I didn't remember wrong I think I followed seen the day picked up! Whatever your decision this F80 probably one of the most special changes and upgrades IMO. Thanks for the information and entertainment! 😁 Viewer down under Australia.

[@2of2DCH]

Same thing Robert over at Apex Taxi said. He didn't like the looks, but after driving the G series M3 he was sold compared to the F series. Sounds like Aston has a busy Mon and Tue. lol

[@ilvesman]

On the other hand, Apex is keeping F80 as their taxi due to lighter weight and ditched G80 due to being heavy and breaking a lot of components on the ring.

[@2of2DCH]

@@ilvesman Oh? I'd not heard that. Interesting.

[@mushy1983123]

I believe the s55 needs a single turbo set-up to make them really sound good

[@nicolasparcell3174]

I saw her in person today. Unfortunately shes been smashed up. My old boss now has her so soon to be restored to her former glory. Cant wait to see it😁

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Oh no! That’s sad to hear but hopefully it will be repaired 🙏🏻

[@kortneedecaussin3518]

I must know what wing you're running on your silver M2, it looks fantastic!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Alpha N GTS wing

[@ProfessionalMundane]

Honestly, I was thinking more about all your zippers and imagining opening them over keeping or selling.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Weird flex but ok.

[@BoHorror]

What happened to the G80 M3 front Body kit mod, that made it look like a F80 M3 rather ?

[@jesu397]

It gives me respect to buy that model for the crank hub, what's real about that? Thank you

[@darylmorse]

I'm late to the party. It's a shame to see this car go, but practically speaking, you can't keep all of them. This is a very nice car. The modifications are tasteful and make the car into what it should have been in the first place. As a recent new owner of a 2020 M2C, I would have enjoyed seeing you take an S55 to the next level, including a rebuild.

[@jasonmjonesuk]

Quality editing!

[@Wolff36]

I feel like the F80 will one day be the next E30.

[@basschannelsa7155]

If only I had the money to buy it as it is

[@zer0875]

Hey Imran where you get those specs from ?

[@silversurfer72]

Are the Evolve Bilstein shocks shorter than standard B6? Also, what H&R springs ie Sport or Super Sport

[@EvolveAutomotive]

@@silversurfer72 the front spring seat position is different making it about 5mm ride height that standard Bilstein B6. Spring choice is up to you and what kind of drop you want

[@silversurfer72]

​@@EvolveAutomotivethank you for the info. I didn't get alerted so only just saw it now. I think there's a typo in your reply. Can you confirm your custom Bilsteins are 5mm lower than standard B6 and also are the specific springs in this video Sport or Super Sport? Cheers

[@MCompeticione]

You should keep it. That's the best looking m3

[@laws68laws22]

Are you selling mss springs ?

[@mj23bt32]

Oooooo wee , edit is 🔥 🔥🔥

[@ianhoughton3349]

I want that Beamer

[@carsandcoldbrew6489]

Just add resonated equal length midpipes

[@cgkperformance]

How much for the springs and dampers if you strip the f80 m3? Might be interested in those.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Email [e-mail], thanks

[@aliz74959]

What an honest review. Love it.

[@Adam-ts8zf]

@EvolveAutomotive what’s your opinion of the m2 vs m2 comp?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

M2C is logically the better car to start with, but we love our N55 M2!

[@jimbaranresidence8]

If u think s55 is worth saving cos yr m2 is n55...

[@E60.M5]

Those Sacai's! 😍

[@Hcarmad]

Nice send off for the M3. I had a feeling you might have raffled the car off.

[@Stallzyx]

Dropped you a email if you still have the Grogu plate, I had been wishing I had it years ago 😅 Saw you guys in person at the Pistonheads 25th event and could've asked about it there perhaps but didn't realise the car had been stripped back to standard

[@_ABC_123]

The most beautiful bmw.

[@qna95B]

see folks, heres a guy who has his pick of cars to drive from, and the N55 OG is still the king! most fun car to drive, how you like that S55 fanboys?????!??? 😈

[@Schnitzer325ci]

I think that car is a great family car and all around performer, just never been keen on the green. Should sell as is. Too much hard work and investment to be stripped. I'd love the bonnet though, shame it can't fit the M4.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Same bonnet as M4

[@perpetualintellectual2026]

If you don't need to sell it, keep it!

[@fozpringle1]

It doesn't seem like you're gonna regret it if it goes, so selling is the best option

[@EvolveAutomotive]

No regret

[@vonfragyou]

Ugly duck is an ugly duck. The F80 is beautiful and you will regret selling it.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Have a Z8 if I want beautiful

[@TreasuryTrader]

No DCT, no analog gauges, visceral feel gone, extra 800lbs. DCT is everything, g80 is watered down

As much as someone is prepared to pay..

[@sufm96]

Get it on LLF games 😂

[@user-wz4fw2ws1s]

Visually stunning but I echo your thoughts on the F80. You literally have an M collection and you’re literally spoilt for choice, yet you highly rate the F87 M2 N55 but don’t forget people will say that it’s not a real M car 😂 Whoever buys this F80 is going to be an owner of a very special individual car.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Don’t always listen to what people say, especially those that have no real experience 🤫

[@itsyourAGS]

Keep it please 🥺🥺💓💕❤️ because it's the last M3 that's a true BMW 😭

[@Becausefamilycar]

You’re selling all the parts so I guess you’re selling. Asking price was bonkers at £65k It looks epic though

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Will recover more than £65k with car and parts so it's all good. Already stripped back to stock and half the parts sold.

[@Becausefamilycar]

@@EvolveAutomotive I’d have had it at £65k if I didn’t have an f90 Great M3 the best one I have seen

[@purevibes8558]

Put it up for a Prize draw, so a lucky person can win it!

[@DaleSteel]

Torque spike is no excuse for bad drivers

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Early ones were horrendous. Many a person was caught out by them. Can't understand how they left the factory like that.

[@DaleSteel]

@@EvolveAutomotive I know I had a 2014 model mapped to 540bhp. Its one of the few cars I've had that genuinely wanted to kill me.

[@legendgalaxy]

You was asking like £60k for it, it's not going anywhere 😂

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Can't sell it for less than the car is worth plus what I can get for the parts so back to stock it goes and more than £60k achieved.
