Pues me molan los dos, el M3 se ve mas gordo atrás, pero la caidita del techo del M4 ,Ouuu mama.

 

El mío es el competition y son 30 cv más, y un piloto con mi sensibilidad eso se nota y mucho.

 

Multiopticas es tu amiga.

 

Y lo más importante, el tuyo tiene techo molón no como ese

 

Y el propietario, no lo olvides molón donde no los hay.

 

Lo siento Maco, pero es que no puedo con esa delantera. Es más, no parece ni que la carrocería del M4 sea más ancha que el de serie no?
No sé, el F82 lo veo mucho más gordo y bonito.

THE BMW G80 M3 REVIEW
Posted on February 20, 2021 by machineswithsouls
Well, here it is. After countless debate, the all-new BMW G80 M3 is here. Is it better than the F80? Is it even an M3? Do you want one? Let’s find out..

WHAT SHOULDN’T MATTER
THE NOSE
Let’s face it, there’s no getting over the face. It stands out, and it might not be for you. That’s OK, because Lexus, Audi, or Mercedes is also very happy to sell you a new car with a big nose. A Tesla has no intake (for obvious reasons), so BMW is trying to separate themselves a bit.

Go and see the car in person. Take it all in. I like it – there’s no mistaking the purpose of this car is to kick butt. I can’t tell you what your automotive taste should be, but M3s have never been beautiful cars. Just functional. Remember when everyone called the E92 M3 a revised Pontiac GTO, being to bland?


Hi haters.
WHAT I DON’T LIKE
THE CARBON FIBER BUCKET SEATS
Let’s talk carbon fiber seats. They are beautiful to behold. They can also accept a real five-point racing harness. The center cushion bolster can be removed to reveal a latch under the seat. They look great (did I mention that?). But, I don’t like them.

Yes, for real.

I’m 6’1, with a 260 lb frame. At age 37, they are not for me, and a ride in the car for a few hours gave me a cramp. The large scallop of the bottom cushion means you need to move your butt up and over it, so ingress isn’t easy. Your significant other might hate them. If this sounds a bit “old man”, I apologize, but unless you’re a serious track person, make sure you try them out before you buy. The base seats are similar in shape to those on the F80, and that’s where I’m headed. People with smaller frames might like them.

SHADOWLINE TRIM
The only other feature of the BMW G80 M3 I did not like was the Shadowline trim on the bottom of the entire car. It makes the M3 appear taller than it really is, and emphasizes the busy surface styling. Body color would be better here.


That bottom part…
IT’S SO CAPABLE…
I think this problem started with the E90 M3. 400 horses is a lot. 444 in the F80 was definitely more than you need. Now we’re here.

To exploit the performance potential of this car, you would need an open road, no police, and a lot of skill. That’s not really fun unless you have all three.

I love the current F90 M5, and it remains the most capable car I’ve ever driven. This G80 M3 is a lot like that M5. It’s so smooth and refined, yet so capable.

But like the M5, it keeps getting heavier. Comparing an F80 manual to a G80, the new M3 is nearly 500 lbs larger. That’s without the upcoming all-wheel drive. It actually weighs more than a BMW 540i sedan, and only 80 lbs less than an M8 Competition Coupe. It’s a heavy car, so if you’re thinking of tracking one, I suggest going to BMW M School to try one out on the edge first.

WHAT I LOVE
THE INTERIOR ON THE BMW G80 M3
Seats aside, the interior is such a big upgrade over the F80. Despite its price tag, the F80 M3 never shed its base 3 Series roots inside, and everything felt cheap. Not so here. Taken from the G20 3 Series, the BMW G80 M3 has a large touch screen, big, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and beautiful carbon fiber trim. It’s such a large step up from previous M3s that you would be forgiven if you thought you were in an M5.

THE RIDE
Speaking of the M5, this M3 rides like one. An extended run on cold, snow-covered roads proved just how comfortable an M3 can be. There is no exhaust drone, road noise is subdued, and even big expansion joints in the road never unsettled the car’s suspension. Putting the car in SPORT+ mode made it more firm, but never uncomfortable. It’s much improved over the F80, and it was better than even my F30 335i. Keep in mind, this was the Competition model M3 with 20-inch rear summer tires and rear-wheel drive.

The car gets an A+ here. The E92 was able to head to the track for a day, then take you home and pick up your date that night. This G80 continues that tradition.Don’t store this car, or save it. Make it your daily. It’s that good.


I loved being inside, and the ride was sublime.
THE EXHAUST TONE ON THE BMW G80 M3
Let’s all accept that the days of S54 and S65 engines are gone, and turbo motors are here to stay. Turbocharged engines typically subdue the engine note that a car without them might have. That being said, this car had a deep cold start roar without any of the “stones in the washing machine” sound effects the F80 is known for. Available with the adjustable exhaust, pressing it on the highway kept the car pretty quiet. Only putting it in SPORT+, combined with the exhaust, made the car roar more.

Like every M3, it’ll need an aftermarket solution if you want to get attention, but out of the box it sounds great.

THE POWER
This M3 is faster than yours. The S58 is smooth, with power everywhere. Interesting to note that even in winter conditions, a stab of the throttle never upset the tires. Putting power down was always an issue on the F80, but even with rear-wheel drive, the Competition model felt much more capable.


This is a powerful car.
YOU CAN GET A STICK WITHOUT LOOSING ANYTHING
BMW is forcing you into a choice it never has before. Opt for the “base” M3, and you can get a 6-speed manual. Competition models only come with the 8-speed automatic from the M5. It’s logical. The all-wheel drive version due out this summer needs the automatic.

The result is that a stick G80 M3 gets “only” 473 horsepower. The Competition gets 503. I promise you will not miss the extra power, because 473 is already more than what you need. If you’re upset that you don’t get a black “M3 Competition” badge on the trunk, I’m sure BMW will sell you one.

If you want a stick, this is the time to get one, because the next M3 might not even have an ICE, let alone a manual transmission.


A shoot in Times Square during snow fall.
FINAL VERDICT
Given my ties to the M3 community, I take this post seriously.

Unlike many other sports cars with a long history, the M3 has never had a specific spec. 4-cylinder, inline-6, V-8, turbo, stick, DCT…the list goes on. With the addition of all-wheel drive, the M3 has had just about every conceivable drive train configuration over the course of its life.

So I take that old-school M credo of high-revving engines and lively rear-end handling with a grain of salt. Have you driven an E36 M3 recently? It’s sloppy, slow, and old. Buyers want the tech, the safety, the versatility, the gas mileage and the power these days. This G80 fills every need, but most importantly, it’s fun!

Looking for small, old-school BMW feel? Try the M2. The M3 has graduated, because the class it belongs to has grown. There is no E30 being made anymore.

I’m not telling you to sell your old M3 and get this one. I AM saying that you should make room in your garage for one. I think I will.

Special thanks to Louis from BMW NYC, and AMMO NYC for prepping the car.


A Times Square shoot was a dream location.

Larry from AMMO NYC prepped the car for an event coming up.

2021 BMW M3 Competition: First Wash and Review


•22 feb 2021


AMMO NYC

This was a quick 3 hour detail and clean before the big NYC release of the 2021 BMW M3 Competition. I washed the M3 with AMMO Foam and Boost. Allowed to sit for 3 to 5 mins. Then wash with the AMMO MF towels before power washing the dirt off the paint. Dried with compressed air and towels, then applied AMMO Reflex Pro with a blue applicator pad before buffing the residue off. We get a sneak peek of the performance options available on the new BMW M3 from a BMW product specialist. Hope you enjoy the quick sneak peek at the BMW M3 Competition before the NYC photo shoot and release party.

Mi primera experiencia en pista G80 M3 / G82 M4

Hola chicos, tuve la suerte de tener una pista de primera mano en la competencia M3 / 4, solo quiero compartir algunas fotos y videos.

Editar:
intentaré ser objetivo ya que hay muchos debates controvertidos sobre el diseño y el peso.

Solo tuvimos dos sesiones en la pista, por lo que no hubo mucho tiempo para sentarse para realmente excavar todos los aspectos del automóvil. Mi primera sesión fue en la competencia G80 M3 sin todas las opciones de rendimiento y la segunda carrera fue en la competencia G82 M4 con asientos de cubo de carbono.

Diseño exterior:Asistí al evento de lanzamiento del G8x el año pasado y los autos de exhibición fueron Isle of Man Green y Sao Paolo Yellow. Para ser honesto, no soy un tipo de color elegante, así que no me golpeó el corazón hasta que vi por primera vez el Black Sapphire y el Dravit Grey hoy, probablemente porque estos colores hacen que la rejilla no sea tan obvia como otros colores más brillantes. El M3 se ve más agresivo y tiene una mejor proporción lateral, todavía creo que el Hofmeister Kink que falta y la línea del cuerpo más baja en el M4 se sienten un poco raros, pero esa es solo mi opinión. Definitivamente considerará M3 en el futuro.

Tren motriz y chasis:La serie G8x definitivamente no le dará una gran sensación de avance en comparación con la actualización del E9xM a F8x, principalmente porque el diseño básico es muy similar al de la serie F8x. Creo que se parece más a la actualización del iPhone "S". Sin embargo, el motor S58 tira más fuerte y el escape suena más natural como el N55 M2 con un tono más profundo y menos áspero que se puede argumentar que es la característica del F8x. El volumen de escape se amortigua aún más con OPF adicional y mejor aislamiento acústico, por lo que se sentirá decepcionado si desea un escape ruidoso. Condujimos la competencia M2 inmediatamente después de la prueba en pista y la G8x se siente mucho más grande y pesada, esto se considera que la competencia M2 ya pesa casi lo mismo que la serie F8x.

La caja de cambios ZF de 8 velocidades cambia rápido pero no tan nítido como el DCT de 7 velocidades en las generaciones anteriores, pero para la conducción diaria sería una combinación perfecta. Siempre me encontré una marcha más alto en comparación con el DCT en la pista. Es un poco molesto olvidar en qué equipo estás, pero creo que una vez que te familiarices no será un problema. La paleta de cambios pierde la sensación de clic de metal, pero se ve bien con la base de fibra de carbono y el área de goma.

La tracción de todo el automóvil es una gran mejora con respecto a la serie F8x con un gran agarre en la parte delantera en la esquina, también mejora la tracción en la parte trasera y no es tan fácil perder el agarre al salir de la esquina en el F8x M3 / M4.

La dirección se siente más ligera pero más precisa, creo que las mejores palabras para describir son suave como la seda.

Interior:El diseño interior es la mayor mejora, se siente premium y me encantan todos los colores excepto el negro. Los asientos de fibra de carbono se ven hermosos y te abraza bien en la pista. Para el uso diario sigo prefiriendo los asientos estándar.

Con todo, la serie G8x es una actualización completa con pequeñas mejoras sobre el F8x en casi todas las áreas, un auto perfecto para el día a día si no le importa la parrilla y el peso. Para los entusiastas, espere el CS y GTS.

My First G80 M3 / G82 M4 Track Experience -


Hi guys, I was lucky to get a first hand track drive on the M3/4 Competition, just want to share some photos and videos.

Edit:
I'll try to be objective as there are lots of controversial debates over the design and weight.

We only had two sessions on the track so not much seating time to really dig every aspect of the car. My first session was in the G80 M3 Competition without all the performance options and second run was in the G82 M4 Competition with Carbon Bucket Seats.

Exterior Design: I have attended the G8x launch event last year and the display car were Isle of Man Green and Sao Paolo Yellow. To be honest, I'm not a type of fancy colour guy so it didn't strike my heart until I first saw the Black Sapphire and Dravit Grey today, probably because these colours make the grille not as obvious as other brighter colours. M3 looks more aggressive and have a better side proportion, I still think the missing Hofmeister Kink and lowered body line on the M4 feels a bit weird but that's just my opinion. Will definitely consider M3 in the future.

Drivetrain & Chassis: The G8x series definitely won't give you a huge step up feeling compared with the upgrade from the E9xM to F8x, mostly because the basic design is so similar with F8x series. I think it's more like the iPhone "S" upgrade. However, the S58 engine does pulls stronger and the exhaust sound more natural like N55 M2 with a deeper, less raspy tone which you can argue is the characteristic of the F8x. The exhaust volume are muffled even more with additional OPF and better sound insulation so you will be disappointed if you want a loud exhaust. We drove the M2 competition immediately after the track test and the G8x feels so much larger and heavier, this is considered that the M2 Competition already weighs almost the same as the F8x series.

The 8-speed ZF gearbox shift fast but not as crisp as the 7-speed DCT in the previous generations, but for daily drive it would be a perfect combination. I found myself always one gear taller compared with the DCT on the track. It's a bit annoying as you forget which gear you are in but I believe once you get familiarised it won't be an issue. The shift paddle looses the metal click feel but it does look cool with carbon fibre base and rubber area.

The whole car's traction is a big improvement over the F8x series with huge front end grip through the corner, it also improves rear end traction and not as easy to loose the grip when coming out the corner in the F8x M3/M4.

Steering feels lighter but more precise, I think the best words to describe are silky smooth.

Interior: The interior design is the biggest improvement, it feels premium and I love every colour except the all black one. The carbon fibre seats looks gorgeous and it hugs you well on the track. For daily use I still prefer the standard seats.

All in all, the G8x series is a whole update with small improvements over F8x in almost all areas, a perfect daily car it you don't mind the grille and weight. For enthusiasts, wait for the CS and GTS.

LA REVISIÓN DEL BMW G80 M3
Publicado el 20 de febrero de 2021 por machineswithsouls
Bueno, aquí está. Después de innumerables debates, el nuevo BMW G80 M3 está aquí. ¿Es mejor que el F80? ¿Es siquiera un M3? ¿Quieres uno? Vamos a averiguar..






LO QUE NO DEBE IMPORTAR
LA NARIZ
Seamos realistas, no hay forma de superar la cara. Se destaca y puede que no sea para ti. Eso está bien, porque Lexus, Audi o Mercedes también están muy felices de venderle un auto nuevo con una gran nariz. Un Tesla no tiene entrada (por razones obvias), por lo que BMW está tratando de separarse un poco.
Ve a ver el coche en persona. Tómalo todo. Me gusta, no hay duda de que el propósito de este coche es patear traseros. No puedo decirte cuál debería ser tu gusto por el automóvil, pero los M3 nunca han sido autos hermosos. Simplemente funcional. ¿Recuerdas cuando todo el mundo llamaba al E92 M3 un Pontiac GTO revisado, siendo demasiado soso?

Esa parte de atrás ...
ES TAN CAPAZ ...
Creo que este problema comenzó con el E90 M3. 400 caballos es mucho. 444 en el F80 fue definitivamente más de lo que necesita. Ahora estamos aquí.
Para explotar el potencial de rendimiento de este automóvil, necesitaría una carretera abierta, sin policía y mucha habilidad. Eso no es realmente divertido a menos que tengas los tres.
Me encanta el F90 M5 actual y sigue siendo el coche más capaz que he conducido. Este G80 M3 se parece mucho al M5. Es tan suave y refinado, pero tan capaz.
Pero al igual que el M5, sigue volviéndose más pesado. Comparando un F80 manual con un G80, el nuevo M3 es casi 500 libras más grande. Eso es sin la próxima tracción total. En realidad, pesa más que un sedán BMW 540i y solo 80 libras menos que un M8 Competition Coupé. Es un auto pesado, así que si estás pensando en rastrear uno, te sugiero que vayas a BMW M School para probar uno en el borde primero.



Hola odiadores.
LO QUE NO ME GUSTA
LOS ASIENTOS DE CUBO DE FIBRA DE CARBONO

Hablemos de asientos de fibra de carbono. Son hermosos para la vista. También pueden aceptar un arnés de carreras real de cinco puntos. El cojín central del cojín se puede quitar para revelar un pestillo debajo del asiento. Se ven geniales (¿mencioné eso?). Pero no me gustan.
Sí, de verdad.
Mido 6'1, con un marco de 260 libras. A los 37 años, no son para mí, y un paseo en coche durante unas horas me dio un calambre. El gran festón del cojín inferior significa que debe mover el trasero hacia arriba y sobre él, por lo que la entrada no es fácil. Tu pareja podría odiarlos. Si esto suena un poco "viejo", me disculpo, pero a menos que seas una persona seria en las pistas, asegúrate de probarlos antes de comprar. Los asientos de la base tienen una forma similar a los del F80, y ahí es donde me dirijo. A las personas con marcos más pequeños les pueden gustar.

RECORTE DE SOMBRAS
La única otra característica del BMW G80 M3 que no me gustó fue la moldura Shadowline en la parte inferior de todo el automóvil. Hace que el M3 parezca más alto de lo que realmente es y enfatiza el estilo de la superficie ocupada. El color de la carrocería sería mejor aquí.

Taxi rojo.
LO QUE YO AMO
EL INTERIOR DEL BMW G80 M3
Dejando a un lado los asientos, el interior es una gran mejora con respecto al F80. A pesar de su precio, el F80 M3 nunca se despojó de sus raíces base de la Serie 3 por dentro, y todo parecía barato. No es así aquí. Tomado de la Serie G20 3, el BMW G80 M3 tiene una gran pantalla táctil, un gran volante forrado en cuero y hermosos adornos de fibra de carbono. Es un paso tan grande con respecto a los M3 anteriores que se le perdonaría si pensara que está en un M5.

EL PASEO
Hablando del M5, este M3 se mueve como uno. Una carrera prolongada en carreteras frías y cubiertas de nieve demostró lo cómodo que puede ser un M3. No hay ningún dron de escape, el ruido de la carretera es tenue e incluso las grandes juntas de expansión en la carretera nunca alteraron la suspensión del automóvil. Poner el automóvil en modo SPORT + lo hizo más firme, pero nunca incómodo. Ha mejorado mucho con respecto al F80, y fue incluso mejor que mi F30 335i. Tenga en cuenta que este era el modelo Competition M3 con neumáticos traseros de verano de 20 pulgadas y tracción trasera.
El coche obtiene una A + aquí. El E92 pudo dirigirse a la pista por un día, luego llevarte a casa y recoger a tu cita esa noche. Este G80 continúa esa tradición. No guarde este automóvil ni lo guarde. Hágalo su diario. Es tan bueno.

Me encantó estar adentro y el viaje fue sublime.
EL TONO DE ESCAPE DEL BMW G80 M3
Aceptemos todos que los días de los motores S54 y S65 se acabaron y que los motores turbo llegaron para quedarse. Los motores turboalimentados suelen atenuar la nota del motor que podría tener un automóvil sin ellos. Dicho esto, este automóvil tuvo un rugido profundo de arranque en frío sin ninguno de los efectos de sonido de "piedras en la lavadora" por los que es conocido el F80. Disponible con el escape ajustable, presionarlo en la carretera mantuvo el auto bastante silencioso. Solo ponerlo en SPORT +, combinado con el escape, hizo que el automóvil rugiera más.
Como todos los M3, necesitará una solución de posventa si desea llamar la atención, pero de inmediato suena genial.

EL PODER
Este M3 es más rápido que el tuyo. El S58 es suave, con potencia en todas partes. Es interesante notar que incluso en condiciones invernales, una puñalada del acelerador nunca trastornó los neumáticos. Reducir la potencia siempre fue un problema en el F80, pero incluso con tracción trasera, el modelo Competition se sintió mucho más capaz.
Más información sobre este texto de origenPara obtener más información sobre la traducción, se necesita el texto de origen

Este es un coche potente.
PUEDES CONSEGUIR UNA PALANCA SIN PERDER NADA
BMW te está obligando a tomar una decisión que nunca antes había hecho. Opte por el M3 “básico” y podrá obtener un manual de 6 velocidades. Los modelos de competición solo vienen con la automática de 8 velocidades del M5. Es lógico. La versión de tracción total que saldrá este verano necesita la automática.
El resultado es que una palanca G80 M3 obtiene "sólo" 473 caballos de fuerza. La competencia obtiene 503. Te prometo que no perderás la potencia adicional, porque 473 ya es más de lo que necesitas. Si le molesta que no obtenga una insignia negra de "M3 Competition" en el maletero, estoy seguro de que BMW le venderá una.
Si quieres un stick, este es el momento de conseguir uno, porque el próximo M3 podría ni siquiera tener un ICE, y mucho menos una transmisión manual.

Un rodaje en Times Square durante la caída de nieve.
VEREDICTO FINAL
Dados mis vínculos con la comunidad M3, me tomo esta publicación en serio.
A diferencia de muchos otros autos deportivos con una larga historia, el M3 nunca ha tenido una especificación específica. 4 cilindros, 6 en línea, V-8, turbo, palanca, DCT… la lista continúa. Con la incorporación de la tracción en las cuatro ruedas, el M3 ha tenido casi todas las configuraciones de tren de transmisión imaginables a lo largo de su vida.
Así que tomo ese credo M de la vieja escuela de motores de altas revoluciones y manejo dinámico de la parte trasera con un grano de sal. ¿Ha conducido recientemente un E36 M3? Es descuidado, lento y viejo. Los compradores quieren la tecnología, la seguridad, la versatilidad, el rendimiento de la gasolina y la potencia en estos días. Este G80 satisface todas las necesidades, pero lo más importante, ¡es divertido!
¿Busca un BMW pequeño y de la vieja escuela? Prueba el M2. El M3 se ha graduado porque ha crecido la promoción a la que pertenece. Ya no se fabrica E30.
No te estoy diciendo que vendas tu viejo M3 y consigas este. Estoy diciendo que debería hacer espacio en su garaje para uno. Creo que lo haré.
Un agradecimiento especial a Louis de BMW NYC y AMMO NYC por preparar el automóvil.

Unlike many other sports cars with a long history, the M3 has never had a specific spec. 4-cylinder, inline-6, V-8, turbo, stick, DCT…the list goes on. With the addition of all-wheel drive, the M3 has had just about every conceivable drive train configuration over the course of its life.
So I take that old-school M credo of high-revving engines and lively rear-end handling with a grain of salt. Have you driven an E36 M3 recently? It’s sloppy, slow, and old. Buyers want the tech, the safety, the versatility, the gas mileage and the power these days. This G80 fills every need, but most importantly, it’s fun!
Looking for small, old-school BMW feel? Try the M2. The M3 has graduated, because the class it belongs to has grown. There is no E30 being made anymore.
I’m not telling you to sell your old M3 and get this one. I AM saying that you should make room in your garage for one. I think I will.
Special thanks to Louis from BMW NYC, and AMMO NYC for prepping the car.

 

Pongo juntos todos los vídeos oficiales de Motorsport sobre M3 G80 y M4 G82

 

A mi esos riñones..no me convencen me parecen muy exagerados

 

Muy chula esa configuración
Se le ve muy gordote en negro
El color de llanta y todo para ese color
