IS THE BMW M3 COMPETITION A BARGAIN?

In this video. I get to drive the BMW M3 Competition, yet again I'm trying to look at the used market and how much performance you can buy for your money. In this case, the F80 M3 on the used market really seem very appealing, and good fun to drive too!
Enjoy.

I hate 4 door cars, but man, the M3 looks so much better than the M4!

[@martinallenuk]

So you hate the 190e Evolution? So you hate the VXR8? So you hate the Saphire Cosworth? So you hate the Alfa Quadrifoglio? So you hate the B7 RS4? So you hate the M5? So you hate the AMG C63 Saloon? So you hate the AMG E63 Saloon? So you hate the RB320? So you hate the XE SV Project 8? Thats a lot of hatred...

[@New777Wine]

@@martinallenuk In hindsight, 'hate' is too strong a term, i Should have expressed 'my opinion' as 'i would never buy a 4 door car as 2 doors/coupes are my preference', but man the M3 looks so much better than the M4.Yet I would still never buy one because of the door count! My personal replacements for your excellent 4 door examples would be... E30 M3 Monaro 3 door cossie M4 R8 V8 M6 AMG C63 coupe P1 Id take a 911 turbo over the project 8...silly money for a 4 door jag!

@@New777Wineye but even tho I am mostly a 2door (coupe) fan I tend to like how wider and the rear looks better on the f80 m3 you have a good point and I personally agree!

[@RotrexfezST]

You can pick these up for 40-42k with a good spec (around 67-68k new),lot of car for the money..I wouldn’t take an AMG over an m car purely based on chassis and chassis feel when driving. I’ll take cornering and balance over a bit more power any day. That’s where amg need to pay attention...it’s all power with them and they forget what makes a car a great car to drive. Another good video 👌🏻

I just sub'd because you're doing solid work with accurate feedback and opinions of the cars you drive. You remind me of Catchpole's early days . FWIW- I have both a GT4 and an F82 M4 . Love them just about equal but can't imagine my days w/o the GT4 so I hope you don't make the mistake of selling your second GT4 now that there are a few companies making 2nd-6th gear shorty options. Cheers man !

[@TheM3smg]

Have you reviewed a e46 m3?

[@shadowchrome_]

The most badass BMW M Car to date. Its a drug dealers and bank robbers dream car. And mine too. And no, i don’t have any unspent motoring convictions

[@whal8y]

Nice vid, wow u are mad British with that accent my man! M3 CS.... I unfortunately didn’t dig the M4/ M3 with the soon to be finished generation of the 3/4 series. I think the fact that it was lighter but only made small hp gains was the big reason why former or current E90/92 M3 owners may not have gravitated towards the newer M car. As for me, I am cashing out on the BMW M brand and hopping over to Porsche later this year, but I hope that BMW tries a bit harder to make their M cars special again. Having the same general engines is not a cool thing, I don’t want to have an M series car that shares the engine with a few tricks and higher boost as a normal top of the range model engine- I want it to be separate (8 also don’t want a damn seat backrest with a glowing M logo on it ... what were they thinking)? Maybe that’s my age kicking in but that is still a dumbass thing they did.

[@HexlGaming]

Finally a car that perfectly fits you

[@8000audiolab]

i totally agree with a comment earlier about the 4 door being better than the m4 which i have been looking to get in austin yellow but now thinking of going for the m3 so much more aggressive soo wish bm would have done the same as they did with the e92 which was streets ahead for looks compared to the e90

See looking at the Z4M and a manual F80 M3 and I can’t make my mind up on what to buy, this video has just made the decision even harder

[@CarrosCenasPT]

Just buy an F80 M3 with a DCT. F80 M3 with a Manual doesn't even feel like an M3... This comes from an hardcore manual fan, but this car just needs the dct to be that much better.

Actually the M3 comp is a much better option than a hot hatch; especially if you realize that the prices are equal.

[@jeebus2121]

7:30 - I consistently get ~11.5k from the rears on a C63.

[@itsminas25]

The F80 would be an awesome package if it sounded as good as it looks and had the steering from the E9X M3.

[@goodshoes07]

Gts gearbox upgrade gets rid of pretty much all issues with power delivery. I have an m4 and have was nearly at the point of getting rid of it. A few coding updates, a remap and a Remus exhaust and now I’ll be keeping it for many more years to come. BMW’s always need a tweak.

Standard f80 for about £30k is definitely a bargain ... This competition for £45k is a tough one .... To close to c63s coupe which sounds great and the engine is masterpiece .... Love Giulia too but can't put my money there for some reason ... I know is a Ferrari engine but I'm looking at it like a lower quality vehicle for some reason ..

Fuck the m2. Get a m3 with manual, as per living life fast and a dct m3 owner it's much more easier to manage, less spiky and jerky and easier to skid in safety. Only con is bumper to bumper traffic and if you have roundabout galore + traffic.
