That grill is what makes it look so aggressive ! Love it

[@madzmadeit]

that shit looks ugly af

[@Top_g80comp]

There is nothing wrong with grill……. The reason I bought my g80🤘💯

[@Lamb_and_Lion]

Facts💯💯💯🙌🏾

[@Jack-fr9bk]

It’s ugly but I’d own it lol

[@949surferdude]

Can I have some money so that I can buy one?

[@diznutz5110]

🤡

[@rampantcolt]

Grill is dope! It’s a great change to the past Bimmers

[@Sp1k3e]

There is nothing wrong with the grill compared to your seating position, lol

[@sickin4392]

was waiting for someone to say this

[@nathanlambert1502]

I love the new grill, i don’t understand why ppl don’t like it, I think it looks way better

[@EbNorth]

I don't care about someone's meme. I like the large and aggressive front. It'll also probably age very well.

[@JT-qd6uc]

3:30 GOT DAMN ma boi couldn't lean back any further?😂

[@TheGoldenDrive]

I have really long legs😂😂

[@milosb8534]

Thank you for having me on the channel! Awesome job on the video!

[@TheGoldenDrive]

It was so fun, thanks for bringing the car out🙏🙏🙏

[@1234chris900se]

Are you running a stock intake or do you have an aftermarket one? Reason I ask is how much you can hear the intake in the video. Thanks!

[@MP-yh4he]

@@1234chris900seit’s aftermarket I’m wondering which one he has too bc it sounds good.

[@milosb8534]

@@MP-yh4he I’m running aftermarket intakes. They’re actually prototypes from CTS Turbo. They should be for final production/general sale soon. Highly recommend they sound amazing

Had my g80 for a year now . The performance this car gives out for the cost , your can’t go wrong .

[@johnnyb3987]

I agree. I've had mine since november 22 and I have no regrets. I love the car. What it can do is amazing. I can't see how someone would be disappointed.

[@KnellAnwyll]

whats the maintenance cost and insurance price please?

[@TimothyDrlikova]

The grill is the best part except for the carbon buckets hope to have one soon

[@Carsandcoffee1212]

I love the grill, now u know what is exactly an m3/4 and not a m340i or an m440i. Its ultra aggressive and purpose built. I got mine in Brooklyn Grey and love it. The ones that keep hating on it wont buy it so their opinions dont really matter at this point.

[@stock.cars.2ned]

Ordered a brooklyn grey too.

[@CollinsHD]

Grill with the Adro kit is just 🔥

[@MegaRetr]

Great Video man

[@TheGoldenDrive]

Thanks so much, it was a lot of fun to make 🙌🙌🙌

[@musjons]

Where did you buy your spacers and what brand are they?

[@DocThatch]

I had a 2023 M3 ordered. I finally convinced myself that the grill wasn’t too objectionable. Then I realized that they changed the infotainment system and removed basically all of the physical buttons. I just couldn’t do it. So I got a 2023 M5. I couldn’t be happier. It’s a beast and a great daily driver. Still your M3 looks great.

[@MP-yh4he]

Intro M transition was sick

[@TheGoldenDrive]

Thanks so much, it was a lot of fun fun to make

[@r0beh280]

Just about to pick mine up, it’s taken me two years to come around on the grill, definitely looks better with a darker paint.

[@rbatista20]

No freaking way I found this KZbin channel again😮 from crashing the yellow z to now. Wow

It’s a m3 g80 why did you get the sun roof and the grill is amazing

[@n-0-1]

They really messed up the design on the quarterpanel and rear rear door joint.

[@hypnotico7051]

I am so tired of hearing complains about the grill. It’s been years.

[@TheGoldenDrive]

Exactly, it’s been years and the grill still is still massive, getting bigger every year😂

[@mattsiegel1446]

Is that true with the base car having less torque? That makes no sense. The original getrag transmission was holding 600+ whp, same in the mark3 supra

[@TheGoldenDrive]

Yeah the base m3 has less power but I’m sure you could get the power back easily with a tune since it’s exactly the same engine

[@ElvisCarReviews]

Great Video man, my name is also Elvis, I do car reviews as well lol, my buddy has a similar M3 Competition, we just took it to the track a few days ago: incredible vehicle.

😂😂😂

[@bgmiminecraftwala4897]

The grill is best

[@ke9938]

It’s worth more than the hype. I went from the G80 to my F90. The G80 is excellent.

Nice car

M3 G80 in Isle of Man green is perfect.

So true

Damn I want thus car. This or the M4 but I have to buy used because I won't pay premium price 😂. I'm going to let the first person bring the resale price down .

[@TheGoldenDrive]

I know right??!! The prices of them new are insane. I want one tooooo😭😭

[@indomex4914]

Just got the 2024 M4. The car is like no other and I have a Tesla Model 3 and owned a 2017 Mustang in the past. The M4 just blows anything I have driven even regular beamers. Highly recommended especially with iDrive infotainment system.

These new G Ms are priced out of the upper middle class reach..they super expensive..

[@csmith1927]

@@jldp24and yet I see so many of them on the road… makes me wonder if all these people are bringing in 200k+ a year or if they’re spending 40% of their disposable income on a single automobile lol

6:55 why is he sitting like that?

[@huh0123]

The massive change in the grill for “cooling” is total BS, the G chassis M5 CS with its insane twin turbo V8 doesn’t have a problem, why the fuck does this?

[@angelotv001]

Is this car an Xdrive??

[@TheGoldenDrive]

Yeah

[@angelotv001]

@@TheGoldenDrive I have another question, i’m in the market for an M3 and I see this one doesn’t say Xdrive on the back. Does that mean any 2022 or 2023 M3 competition is an extra drive? Or does it have to be specific and say it on the back that it’s an xdrive.

[@dchaud7022]

looks like the m340i

[@salimrandall]

It’s the best sports sedan until the warranty runs out.

[@pwj86772]

Yeah, I wouldn’t touch this with a 10 foot pole without a warranty lol. I can’t even imagine the yearly maintenance and repair costs

[@mrg4847]

The question is can Elvis sing.

[@TheGoldenDrive]

Hahaha I wish

[@nighthawkproductions7897]

M3 competition x drive base model in the states start at 72k

[@OneTwoThreePunch]

It is $84.3k , i bought a base model xdrive comp in 2023 and it was just north of 80k with no options

[@PIPERBOYWILLIAMS]

Floor it 5x and you will have a 5,000.00 service bill

[@TheGoldenDrive]

😂😂

[@Fulloctanegarage]

Awesome… kinda like a German Project8

[@TheGoldenDrive]

That’s so true. It’s a great comparison. It would be cool to do a head to head video with both. I feel like The project 8 has faster power delivery with no lag when compared to the M3. And it put the power down better and felt more stable to drive even though it has more power.

[@milosb8534]

@@TheGoldenDrivelet’s make it happen ;)

[@leecook7904]

Is it lowered? Looks great!!🎉

It’s not lowered but it’s on spacers to give it a more aggressive stance

That guy and the V8 🤦‍♂️. NOTHING like the S58 and what it can do

[@lapchoine6600]

Thanks for sharing this review and just because of that really ugly George Forman BBQ grill or a large pig snout.....the previous generation is much nicer....this is similar to how the Porsche 911 996 generation with the egg shape lights ruined the entire generation. Without that grill the car would look 100x's better!!!
