Tommy L Garage commonly on the driver side bolster since it pokes out a good amount and it’s grazed going in and out of the car, but overall, one of the least problematic M cars to come thru tbh, steering wheel’s leather sometimes can feel like it gets sticky or coming apart after a lot of use or if you live in a very hot/humid climate

[@Kid_Ellipsis]

And on the other end of the spectrum there are no DCT cars that have been money shifted

The crankhub issue is an issue for both manual and DCT f8x cars. Money shift a manual, and you’ll spin it (happened to a buddy of mine)

[@AldousForestTheLast]

Robert Lunatic lol manual requires no maintenance what so ever. Race car feel with a dct lol. I’d have a dct over a standard auto but not over a manual in a sports car.

[@matt808_]

@Robert Lunatic look man it depends on the driver and preference. I had a manual car and actually perfected shifting for normal driving and doing pulls. It doesn’t matter (for me that is) to have this in either manual or auto because I can shift just as fast. You might call bs but I’ll give you the rundown on how I do so. When you’re driving in your manual car and already know the biting point quite well, when u go into the next gear quickly release the clutch right before the biting point and as soon as you stop there, give a little bit of gas but like less than 20kpah of force to the pedal and as you do so slowly release to the biting point and then fully release. The amount of force you put on the gas pedal for example if your driving your car and you have the throttle open but the car is still slowing down, that’s how little force you have to use. When you do all these things, (I do recommend a short shifter btw) you’ll be able to shift between .01-.03 seconds without feeling any force back from shifting into the next gear like most amateur drivers. This technique can only be done if you have good control of the clutch to the point where you become the synchros. The only car that seems to not be able to respond well to this would probably have to be a 350z, although he probably didn’t recall his transmission like most people did.

Having owned an M4 for 5 years now, I've learned a lot about the car and enjoy every minute of it. It's a garage queen with only 30k miles on it. I know how I take care of this car and how much I've put into it. I treat it kindly and have have little need to beat it up. If someone can find a car like mine then they would be at least 40k ahead of the game. Trouble is you rarely know the true history of a car. If the car has been beat, then there could be big repair bills awaiting. I've always treated my cars well but this one I am truly in love with. I think my wife is getting suspicious.

[@lukepugh76]

Great points. I’ve had mine for some time now and it is light years beyond my older M cars. No plans to modify it. It wasn’t supposed be a daily but I just can’t stay out of it. It’s a base model with manual & I absolutely love every moment with the car. Withing a a couple months of ownership I had already accumulated about 10k miles and a few oil changes and basic preventive services. What an awesome car these seem to be.

Love the look-back comment. Classic! The measure of a great car is the look-back factor. I was going to buy an F80 M3/4 a year ago, but I unfortunately, I had to buy a pickup-truck as a tow vehicle and home improvement hauler instead. I still have my 2007 350z that I bought new and tastefully modded. I still look back at that 12 year old car as well.

[@TommyLGarage]

I remember when the 350z first came out I wanted one so bad. The manual transmission was so good on it

[@jmciver767]

One other component that has seen some failures recently has been the top mount heat exchanger - some have been developing internal leaks and draining all of the coolant into the engine in the extreme cases. Unlike the crank hub issue, which has been most likely blown out of proportion a bit due to the forums (and the dealers don't appear to be very familiar with it), dealers have been seeing some failed top mount heat exchangers. Exactly how widespread the issue is actually is difficult to tell of course. Also, there does not seem to be a specific pattern for those cars that are affected (i.e. model year, tuned vs stock, etc). But it is something to look out for (by checking the expansion tank level) or asking the previous owner/dealer if it has been replaced. I wouldn't let this potential issue discourage anyone from buying the car though (it does not appear to be a rampant issue by any means), just something else to be aware of. FWIW, my car is a MY17 (Comp Pack), almost 3 years old with 41k miles on the clock and I have not seen any issues with my top mount heat exchanger (but I also check my expansion tank level regularly now since I became aware of this potential issue).

[@wjohnsonism]

I'd like to add that my 2016 expansion tank had a small weeping/leak at the seams. I would notice a small amount of coolant residue spitting when hot. My dealer replaced it under warranty and mentioned that they have seen a few others do this and it's fairly simple to replace if you happen to pick one up out of warranty. Other than that, I've had zero issues.

For anyone concerned about maintenance costs on a used F80, I financed a used 2017 Yas Marina Blue M3 with 19k miles in February of this year through the CPO program which added a year on top of my warranty with unlimited miles and I also added a maintenance package that covers up to 75k miles on the car. So far it's saved me roughly $6000 on parts without having to pay anything out of pocket. I also recommend getting GAP insurance and tire and rim insurance, you can add it all to your monthly payments, it increased my payments by 130 bucks in the end but its already paid for itself.

Love that color. If I ever decide to buy one it will have to be that.

These cars are fine in Germany at top speed getting cool air.The problem is in the summer of the United states where 90% of the country has months of hot weather--which ruins the viscosity of oil--and causes all sorts of problems.I have had many friends over the years buy these and Mercedes and the check engine light almost always goes on at some point within just a few years.The other problem is--when you take a german car to the dealership they double what americans do and find 1000 dollars worth of repairs.Like someone said--I would definetly get an RC-F.I have had my Type R crosstour almost 9 years and the 30k full maintenance was 300 dollars and that replaced all the filters and all the fluids--brakes--tran--and it has never been in the shop.I plan on entering it in the silver state classic next September--could not make it this year.Turbos and hot weather is a bad mix--and people really abusing them.Also, in summer--they are not pushing the same horsepower as when it is cool.I have had 2 turbo cars and will never get them again--both mazdas and both turbos blew--and I do all the scheduled maintenance at the dealership and they still blew.Mazda 323 GTX--1988--blew--then a mazda 6 turbo 90s model--also blew.
