Owner's Review: 10,000 Mile Modified G80 M3 Manual - Best M3 Ever? - 4K

Hey KZbin fam! Here's my 6 month - 10,000 mile review of my G80 M3 Manual. The car has over 10K worth of mods on it. Is it a better value than my last 340i? Is it the best M3 ever? Check out the video to find out! Special shoutout to Alex Caristan(@alexcaristan_ on IG) for doing a great job as usual with shooting/editing. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments or if any questions. Would greatly appreciate a like and sub.

[@runcalloptions8578]

Absolutely beautiful car. BMW really did an amazing job with the performance. I had a few days with the G82 Comp. I'm wondering what your thoughts are prior to the performance mods, then after. BMW said the 6-speed manual wouldnt handle the competition's horsepower. Was there any hesitation to increase power with the 6-speed? How's it holding up? Enjoy and keep making great content, thanks!

So bad ass your g80 is definitely done right! I just picked up a g80 manual, just put catless downpipes and jb4 and I love it! Quick question are you running flex fuel kit to see what ethonal you are running? Also when on dyno did you use map 5?

[@bigmixx]

Beautiful car. Not sure why but the front end looks way better on the M3 than it does on the M4. Not sure if it’s the angle of the hood or because the roofline is higher on the 3.

Still looks not good compare to F80 M3.

@@Ren_1106 Still not good compared to a G20, had they done an M3 version of the G20 it would've been fire. I mean just look at the rear end of the G80, it looks super good and it's basically because it's a G20 rear end.

[@Ren_1106]

Excellent car. Can you comment on what gains you received with the catless DP, mid pipe, and the JB4 tune? I have been contemplating between the manual of Comp but the difference in HP and especially TQ is a pretty big deal.

[@keerendayanund8115]

[@MegaGbiLL]

great review! Are you going to run winter tires? If so what tires do you recommend?

[@phillybimmerclub2902]

No sir we don't get that many snow days around here so I got the Michelin AS4s(All seasons). I had the Michelin AS3s on my last 340i so I knew how good they would be. In a couple inches of snow, you're good. If you get a lot of snow, then recommend Michelin X or Alpin PA 4.

Did you install spacers for the wheels and if of what size did you go with?

[@sidharthdhawan3938]

Beautiful car, can I ask where you got the installation of the carbon you added to the bumper done?

[@colecravath1655]

Hey PBC, I can’t find much info online - is the JB4 taking care of the CEL from the catless downpipes? I have a very similar spec Isle of Man / Kylami coming in a month or two - thanks for all the content man.

[@phillybimmerclub2902]

You're welcome! The JB4 does get rid of CEL but only temporarily until it comes back. I have the Big Daddies 02 spacer(Just $50 each) and it has permanently gotten rid of CEL :)

Love your reivew! Is it much quiet than f80 in terms of cabin and road noise? I have a stock f80 MT and i find its hard to have regular conversation with passensgers when the road is not perfectly smooth. My wife complains all the time… lol And does it have the same loud cold start sound like f80?

[@phillybimmerclub2902]

[@anandram2124]

question: would you say you need the downpipe to produce the sound you are making or would the midpipe be good enough?? getting my twilight purp g80 in about a month and love this sound

[@phillybimmerclub2902]

Check out the video on my channel with just the midpipe! For most just the midpipe is enough. The catless just makes it crazy loud and aggressive.

[@jortepap]

midpipe + catted downpipe would sound amazing

[@athanobnial8254]

Does the twilight purple come as an option on the base manual versions of the M3 or M4? Or is it only exclusive to competition models? Cuz im loving the purple on it, wondering if its available in a manual.

[@phillybimmerclub2902]

Nah this seems to be true only with the S58s on JB4. Things can be different on a flash tune.

[@0Camus0]

Hey, nice M3! Got some questions: 1. How do you made the jb4 obd2 pass through the firewall? Or it's through the door? I had to pass it through the door, because with the clutch, there is no space left. 2. Did you dynoed the car? And what map are you using? I found thottle closures with all maps, tends to behave better in normal mode rather than sport+ Thanks!

[@phillybimmerclub2902]

Hey brotha. I had the JB4 installed along with the midpipe installed at the shop. So I didn't do it myself. Yup I dyno'd it twice. Once with just midpipe 475 whp and then with catless dp E35 fuel and JB4 Map 5 660whp which was my highest. This was before intakes. And yes efficient mode suprisingly gives the best numbers :)

[@0Camus0]

@@phillybimmerclub2902 wow I have only catless DP and the BMS front mounted intakes + JB4. I noticed a lot of throttle closure and it pulls hard on Map 2, never tried Map 5 though, was afraid of overboost. Now I am sending my ECU to Russia for unlock, the JB4 is not my thing, but I have to admit it can make serious numbers! Thanks for replying!

[@phillybimmerclub2902]

@@0Camus0 I have done over a hundred 60-130 runs on Map 4 and 5 using ethanol. Not a single issue with JB4. Flash tune will always be best but not worth the hassle and cost for me.
