Can't believe I spent 20 minutes watching a video of someone ordering a car at a dealership ... and I'm all here for it! :-D Great choice - and I'm completely envious of your upcoming toy. Keep us posted once the car arrives!

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

Thank you, means a lot 🤗 glad it was entertaining and happy to hear you’re a fan of the new toy! Rest assured I’ll keep y’all posted 👍

[@bmwblog]

It's a journey. That was the idea of this video series. To bring you along for the ride and see what an owner would feel as waiting for the car of their dreams

[@bmwblog]

Did James make the right choice giving up his F80 M3 CS for the G80 M3 CS?

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

I think he did, but I’m biased 😉

[@kcw9313]

He’s going from the last of the MDCT to a ZF slush box auto that’s notably bigger, heavier and arguably the ugliest M of all time. But hey it’s only money and he’s clearly having fun ordering the next shiny thing.

[@skfunk4550]

Yay, love this type of video. Now, go and do get another member of the team to order an M2 and keep us updated with videos. Waiting...😁 You did the right thing. New CS is awesome and i am jealous.

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

Haha, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Let me see here...who can I convince in the office to order an M2 hmmm 🤔😁

M2 CS in the future

Thanks Paul! Excited for the journey 😃👍

Very cool. My build week is 37. Very excited :D Frozen Solid White Gold Wheels Gold CCB

[@bmwblog]

Very nice! Amazing combo!

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

That sounds like a pretty awesome build as well! Curious to see what the gold CCB's would look like paired up with the bronze/gold wheels!

@@JamesBachiciChannel I think the promo video is that spec

Fantastic video 💯🤘🏻

[@kelliebrooks9094]

Yeah i like the gold or bronze wheel option i agree gold wheel up grade is a must old school BBS days says im not here to play....

[@kubii2404]

I 100% agree with you on the frozen solid white choice and not choosing the green. The first thought that came to my mind when I saw signal green was no that is garbage can green ( not saying it’s garbage colour but in Ontario that green is literally the same colour as the garbage can I roll out on garbage day.

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

Glad you agree! I just know the contrast between the carbon fiber and the matte white finish will look great (but I suppose time will tell!) thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop us a comment 😃👍

[@Zuritapatrick]

Did you lock it in for MSRP or will you be paying a market adjustment? 1 Dealer in NJ quoted about 25K Market+ few months ago. Good job sticking to your guns with Frozen Solid White, IDK if i could have. Signal Green because us insecure boys aka unconfident boys need to be seen lol. Thanks for the vid and look behind the curtains. Your salesman is the man!

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

Thanks for the support! And yes, BMW Seattle and Adam are aces! They’ve always treated me very well. They don’t charge over MSRP or slap silly market adjustments in their cars (like I said, first class all around) and thank you, I’m glad I stuck with FSW 🤗 I’m excited to make more of this type of content. One special note though, for rare more special cars, they keep them in state 👍

[@monastra7]

So what exactly about the G80cs attracts you? Is it the looks? The performance? The opportunity for an even more special (slightly uglier) car?

[@bmwblog]

James loves shiny new toys :) Been telling him to keep the F80 M3 CS

[@ianmitchell9102]

I take it you can’t keep both ? I love both

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

Correct 😄 don’t get me wrong, I’d love to start a “CS collection” but at this point in time that’s not really viable. But maybe in the future? 😅

[@bmwblog]

Told him the same. Take a loan. Keep the F80 also

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

@@bmwblog Pfft ok then 😄 new idea, we start a GoFundMe and people can help me keep both 👌

[@ianmitchell9102]

@@JamesBachiciChannel why not, go for it 👍

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

@@ianmitchell9102 Here’s hoping I can 👍

[@trevorschwartz9529]

I’m pretty torn they’re both epic cars but I love the classic design and analog/raw feel of the f80 cars the g80 cars are wicked fast but pretty tame in comparison.

[@bmwblog]

Totally agree! If I were James, I would keep the F80 :)

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

I’d love to keep both, but that’s just not really feasible 😅 I’m curious to experience the G80 CS and see how it compares to the F80 CS, time will tell!

[@trevorschwartz9529]

@@JamesBachiciChannel I’ll be curious to see how the CS compares to the standard competition. I hope the CS exhaust has a little more volume the competition is really quiet.

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

@@trevorschwartz9529 You and me both! The M Performance exhaust on the F80 CS completely transformed the sonic experience 👍

[@trevorschwartz9529]

@@JamesBachiciChannel I agree I have an m4 GTS and the exhaust sounds epic! I think the CS pretty much has the same exhaust definitely one of the coolest sedans for me!

Im a bmw enthuisist...an a car paint frozen solid white is just noting that it contains no pearl gitter or alluminum metalic sparkle it solid white just white with no shaved aluminum or pearl got a solid color ...not broken up by pearl powder....solid blue black red green white...etc i was thinking about doing my m3 in 1972 retro racing solid white with school team beamer ghost chamolian m stripes on the front fenders an rear quarters like the stuuck hobbs bell redman days...i was gonna do that on the techno purple too...because the techno ghost the pearl on a panel seperation like the nutty chamelian does...i wanted to give it a race paint as if it needs it...

[@AllenL2R]

You’re trading in a better-looking, lighter, more compact, and better-sounding bimmer 🤦‍♂️ Think about that for a second. And this is coming from a G80 owner

[@bmwblog]

Told him the same thing

[@JamesBachiciChannel]

I do love the look of the F80, but I also love the G80 design. So that's subjective. G80 is heavier, and I'm going to assume it will not sound as good as the F80 CS with MPE, but I suppose I'll find out! Either way, good or bad, I'll share my thoughts in the G80 CS review I'll be putting together much in the same spirit I did for the F80 CS 😉 (which if you haven't already, you should totally watch)

[@apm3rk]

Lame spec

[@HK.M3C]

Does the 2024 bmw m3 cs come with Driving Assistance Professional Package just like the 2023 m3, they have the package option😊

[@kelliebrooks9094]

Im cool i thought it mite be tricky i mean ur getting may be an if they have stuff made that is a color ur getting it but the choice of color ...im in florida so red seats with a white interior less a black dash would be tough...i should think white on white red seats....

[@carfeen]

Maan i need to start making more money i would go nuts if i had a g80 cs in my garage i would sleep in it

[@imrichkusnir824]

Picked mine up Saturday in Nashville. It's an absolute animal. Frozen White solid/Gold wheels. Thanks for the video.
