So Im a weirdo - Traded G82 for F97

I somehow would rather be eFFFFd than a G ..

I am probably crazy.. but for some reason I just like the X3MC More.. The G82 is ok.. and maybe I would enjoy AWD version that I order more than one I found on the lot.. who knows.. only thing I don't like about F97 is Wheels/Tires.. everything else about this thing is great.


This is also the fastest I ever got rid of a car.. 4 weeks I think.. lol

Can you elaborate? I haven’t driven the G80. But everytime I load my bike into my X3MC I’m glad I didn’t get the M3.

Brooklyn grey sure is nice. Is that an ivory interior on the X3MC? If so, first I've seen that combo and I love it.

So my biggest issue with the M4 was I wasn't feeling the 6MT.. it just wasn't for me.. I don't want to have to buy SSK, clutch stop etc.. for something to feel like it's engineered correctly . A lot of the plastic bits are too prominent, feels cheap in some ways. As well as the steering on my 4 with nannies off liked to pull my car.. So I felt like it was cursed. Not to mention first detail and they cut two lines in my skirt with the rotary. Cut my window when they tinted it.. It was just overload for me.. I started to hate it when I saw it in the garage.. Every day was like.. man it's pretty but I hate it lol.. (reminds me of a lot of relationships)

.. for some reason the X3MC seems more luxury too me.. I also just like the versatility.. It's understated as hell..

I think if I would have ordered black m4c .. maybe my experience would have been better.. who knows.. but I can drive fast.. carry some surf rods if I don't take my jeep.. and cart the dogs around..

It feels like we are only getting fragments of your story here. Who cut two lines in your skirt with a rotary? And how did they (window tinters) cut your window?

  • The detail shop cut the skirt
  • The Tint Shop used an incorrect blade to cut the tint. On the outside of the window.

Interesting. I was on a waitlist for the G80.

Saw the new X4M LCI and was intrigued.

Went to dealer where I saw a G82 and F98.
Felt like the F98 had more presence and utility for me. Switched to the X4M LCI waitlist. Now to wait a few more months…

If there is any one group of people who completely understands getting rid of a brand new car at 4 weeks, it's all of us car-crazy people here.

I've had new cars in '15, '17 (which I modded), '19 and now '21.

If we all acted rationally we'd be driving 10 year old Suburus.

U did right.

I bought x3m in 2019 and in 2020 i made a pre-order for m4, and after switch to m4 xdrive, 1 month ago i went to dealer to test drive session on all m cars (m5, x6m, m3 and m4, m8)

After test drove m3 and m4 - i was so upset, so cancel my order to xdrive version.

1. Car looks really cheap, i tested car with full carbon and track package
2. I don't have space for my legs in sport bucket seats, i don't known why they put square on the middle, between your legs, i am not fat and not big guy (190, 102kg), but my legs dont feet into this seat... (only in front).

3. Car behavior is exactly like on x3m, i mean engine and transmission.


I still have mine m3 f80 (hard tuned with forged engine etd). so there is no any comparsion between old and new car. U don't feel new m3 and m4 at all. but it's very close to x3m or m5, not to sport car.

Also i hate one things in bmw.


I wanted to order m4 xdrive competition with m performance carbon parts + m performance wheels!

And dealer said, u can't configure that on factory, so u can buy it's separately and after they gonna install it... so stupid

Don't want to buy any new bmw

What concern me is at what weight will the m3/4 AWD will come to... If they are at 4200lbs might as well just buy an X3M as they are trackable and tunable as well as useful.
