got my F80 right when COVID started for $38k with 40k miles im at 105k miles, it's been so reliable and so easy to maintain thanks to companies like fcp plus all the diy videos on YT. It's plenty fast for the average enthusiast with just bolt on and tune. It makes upgrading to a 80-90k G80 reallly hard even tho I can afford it i just love my F80 plus an $800-$1k car payment doesn't sound fun maybe once the prices are closer to the 50k I'll upgrade
Similar story. I bout mine in July 2020 with 32k miles for 42k. I have 130K miles and it runs like a champ
You did it right man!
Wow that’s great to hear. I’m in an F30 with N55 at 137k and looking to get an F80 next.
I’m in the same exact boat as you. I can definitely upgrade to a g80 but the f82 feels so good esp considering I pay less than people leasing their c43’s and 340i’s
I saw they for like 25k during covid
Just got back from Sunday drive in my F83, love the M4. Then Mr. Thic Whips is talking F8X goodness.
Just bought my F82 few days ago. Unfortunately the market in Canada is awful but I picked it up for 40 taxes in before finance and down payment. Best deal in BC happy with the car and it is a dream to drive compared to my 2015 STI.
Got my M2C during Covid with an incredible interest rate. Can’t beat that in today’s market. Makes me smile and appreciate what I have every time I take her out for a drive. ☺️
Awesome video and spot on. And without question any s55 that I’d build for 1000% I would do the crank hub. Also to add to your M value I wouldn’t leave out the f87 either. I have found a ton of clean examples for sale for between 35-55k would is amazing. I got my 2018 lci with 32k miles for 44k all options and stock one owner. Could’ve had the m2c for about 6k more but I honestly prefer the n55b. I am not a fan of any s55 sound regardless of EL mid pipes etc….. now if I did it all over again I’d sayyyy the only way I’d do the s55 with a top mount single turbo and they siiiick. Great video and love the new talks and content. The series M cars are a great time for people to buy right now 💯.
Have 92k own mine. Only been to the shop for one ignition coil. the top mount intercooler was leaking change that myself but it a great car. Would buy another F8X over a G8X.
I was stuck between an F82 and an F32 440i. Both are good cars but ended up going with a 440i M Sport with MPPSK because of the sound. That B58 sound ❤ The F8x definitely wins in the aggressive look and performance though.
B58 is better than the s55.
@@AJUSA1 they’ve both got plenty performance, except the M will feel and handle a lot better. Both good options tho
@@iceboxash1126 B58 plus the auto trans has far more performance potential than the S55 with dct. Most people talk about track times,but 99 percent drag race. An the M4 is quite a heavy car on the track. It's really a street car. But yes, both great options. Aftermarket development has taken the b58 auto with or without the x drive option much farther than the S55 with dct has ever gone. A b58 440i xdrive auto is much closer to a G80 m3 comp with S58 and xdrive than an F80 M3 with s55 and dct is. It's the more advanced pratform from BMW. Much like the 335i easily outperforms to e92 M3 of it's era... The same could not be said of the E46. The e46 M3 was the highest performance e46. That stopped being the case in the e90 generation.
@@AJUSA1no it’s really not.
@@BlakesGarage Pop quiz... what's the 1/4 mile record for the s55? the B58? ok, just checking
Just picked up my 2024 M340 last week what a awesome car
Picked up my 2019 M4 CS in fronzen dark blue ii last year and love it. I could have went with a g82 m4 comp, but this time around I don't really care about doing power mods and just want to keep stock power and daily it on the weekends.
Great video man, I hope the same can be said for the F8X’s and the F30’s
Excellent advise thank you for the information it makes the decision to buy easy
Having just bought an f80 m3, I completely agree. When I was looking a few months ago, An E9x, E46, and F80 were all about the same price to purchase a car I wanted to actually own. AN E9x under ~80k miles was 40k+.... an e46 m3 was the same or more, and the clean F8X non comps with sub 50k miles were hanging around 45k.
Yoo Jon broo if you buy an f80 m3 that would be mad! They are much followed/well respected cars here in the UK hope you do it mate
This review is spot on
Jon your next 2 whips- Z4 widebody track build and an F80 M3 sheesshhhh! Obviously keeping the 1m clone those 3 would deffo be the thic whips fo sure
I love my 2017 M4 F82 with 55k miles. Car just seems bullet proof.
I totally like the sound better on s55 than on my s58 right out of the box 💯🤘
Totally agree on the temp gong. Scares me every time 😂
😂😂
Everytime 😊
We need a way to turn that off and WHY is it triggered at 37 deg
For those of us living in Canada this happens just about everyday in winter so we get used to it here.
I got it for the first time ever last night and I was about to cry
❤ 🎉Love your videos.
I have no idea what the prices are like in the states, but over here in the UK you can buy an F10 M5 for £20k. Twin turbo V8 for 20 grand, I mean it doesnt get more 'bang for you buck' than that.
But she goes BANG you will lose a lotta BUCKS.
I sold my f80 m3 at the absolute peak at $52k in 2022. I am literally looking at the same car at $38k and im like "WOW YOU GETTING SO MUCH CAR!"
what did u get after
@@securem4 15' V10 R8... pretty tremendous
Yes when you hear that gong go off your heart drops for a moment!!!!
just traded a 23" manual supra for a 2020 M2 comp with 16k miles on it and couldn't be happier
What made you want to switch?
@@jrodz808ultimately the supra is just too small for me. I’m 6’4, hit my head getting in everyday. Cabin is more cramped than a brz, roofline is too low, trans tunnel sits too high, dash is a bit too close, knees touched steering wheel etc
F8X M car is definitely a solid pick for 2024 👍🏽
Please buy an f80 for the channel, it would make great content especially because of how much you can do to those cars. I love my 17' F80 comp, the white comp seats are to die for, literally because you'll die trying to clean them every week lol
I have a 2013 328i with 160k miles, Ive replaced so many parts im practically a certified bmw mechanic lol. I plan on upgrading to a 340, or f80 m4 in the future.
That gong makes my heart skip a beat everytime
Been trying to order a g87 with the carbon seats and they haven’t begun to produce them yet. I rather go new at the moment.
Whats you opinion on the f10 m5 and f13 m6?
I would love to see you buy a f80. I own one and would like to see you build one from the bottom up
F8x is a solid all rounder, but if you want similar performance, better sounding car, and not too worried about a smaller sized car, F87 OG M2 with the N55B is a fantastic car, another good choice if you want something with a punch and bigger size, F10 M5 and all of them can be had with either DCT and Manual
💯, F8X best bang for your buck!
I currently have an E36m sedan and E46m. Both well maintained and fairly stock. I’m having major fomo lol on missing out on owning a F80/E90M.
Thought about selling both to get a nice clean car but love how small the old Ms are. Has anyone made the jump to either F80/E9XM from the older gen?
They plummet in price as soon as I buy one 😂😭Jk , got my dream spec for 40k I'd but it again even with prices now. 100% vouch for f80 being an amazing platform, i'll probably never get rid of mine. Fully specced yas marina 2020 with competition pkg!
You forgot the numb steering feel in the f8x. Which is why i sold mine and went back to an e9x car.
Yo, no pink Stanley Target/Starbucks tumbler bro?
Definitely. Love my f80!!
Awesome!
I bought by B.I.L's 2016 428i F33 (yes convertible) for $22k with less than 63k miles.. Trust me when I say.. He is now my most favorite brother in law.. I love this car/platform. I just wish I knew more about cars so that I could upgrade stuff and not just toss money into it.. (YES, I checked out your list of upgrades)..
F8X are going for $48K-$55K in my area. I live in Baltimore, Maryland
I feel like most F8x owners that spent 40-60k on their F8x tend to want to take care of them and do the maintenance and can probably afford to do it more easily. It's still not a cheap car for most ppl maybe now that they are getting cheaper tho we will see more clapped out examples
As a Brit and someone who has lived in the US (Lancaster, SC) I find hard to listen to a content creator’s mainly in the US whom constantly put out false narratives about BMW’s when you highlighted that fact that all cars need maintenance for longevity.
I’m now on 10th BMW (F32 440i, msport) and out of all ten cars none have ever left me stranded.
My E46 330ci 🥰, had an issue with the gearbox but that was because I found after purchase that he did not maintain it correctly but once that was serviced along with all consumables it was a joy to own.
BMW are great cars if owned by careful owners who like to modify and drive fast you need the maintenance first.
Thanks for great content.
We're riding with ya.We're riding with ya.
Time to get an f8x
Yes sir!
🏁🏁
Spitting facts my e90 335 always needs something, found a 3200 mile f80 m3 on cars and bids for 35k lol
Yep lol
I’ve been looking around trying to decide on an n55 m2 or spending the extra few grand for an m3/4. The cars at the price point mentioned in the video are too high mileage for my personal preference in a bmw, and I’m finding that the mileage I like is still a bit on the expensive side. Is it worth it to just wait and hope the prices come down a bit later in the year or just grab an f87 in the meantime?
I suppose it depends on what you need and what your goals are. What mileage and transmission are you going for? Do you need 4 doors. Honestly money isn’t an issue for me I was torn between a m2 LCI or m2c for roughly a 5-7k difference which didn’t bother me. I drove both and I ultimately went with the n55b. I prefer the m2 chassis over the m4 if we’re talking 2 doors. With that said this is not my daily but I could easily daily the m2. I am not a fan of the s55, it performs amazing but the sound to me regardless just sounds like a loud tin can. It’s great a low idle but in the high band it just doesn’t do it. The n55B in the m2 is freaking amazing and sounds fantastic. I am building mine out for the road and track and will have about 550whp on 93. If I ever did an s55 it would be a top mount single turbo conversion and those sound amazing. Have you driven any of these cars before? They should be quite easy to find to test drive. That will ultimately be your answer. I’ve tracked a slightly modded m3cs, m2c and og, m4. I had an m3 e92, 335IS, 340i xdrive 6spd. All great flavors of bmw.
@@kaiichinose9590 wow first of all thanks for such a comprehensive reply it genuinely helps. I have not driven any of the cars mentioned, closest things are probably an F87 M240 and an F30 335i m sport but I basically know at this point those are incomparable to an M in terms of chassis dynamics. I would like something with 40k or fewer miles but a cleaner example closer to 50k would be considered as well. It would definitely be a manual also. I feel I would prefer the M2 in stock form due to the handling but the power potential of the s55 is what makes me so uncertain about it. I always hear about how difficult it is to make power on the n55 relative to the S variant. If I could get the M2 to around 500whp I think I’d be satisfied
@@piercetucker1644 you are most welcome to hit me up anytime. It depends on what you want. If I were to do an s55 it would be on an m4 and I would do single turbo. I absolutely cannot take the sound of the s55 but that’s just preference. The n55b 30TO in the m2 og can make 500 whp no problem. If you take into account for drive train loss that equates to around 580-600bhp. In a small lightish chassis that is a lot of power. The s55 delivers the power in a different way because of the twin turbo set but both cars stock are very close if talk 0-100 or qtr mile being only a .3 second difference. I would say your best bet would be to find a used example to test drive. And I will also say if you go s55 route just for peace of mind is to do the crank hub which is about a 4k job alone but we’ll worth it esp if you are going to mod. I have driven all these vehicles and for me the sound of the og m2 in LCI trim with a 6spd and 500whp is a perfect road car. If I want to do some crazy highway pulls I’ll use my 800whp c7 z06. I’m just not into that as much as actual driving and auto cross now.
what part of charlotte are you in?
How about the F87 with the N55. Is that pretty reliable?
Yes! The n55 in the og m2 had the same forged internals from the S55 amongst other M parts mashed in. Only thing I would recommend doing is the rod bearings, but other than that, no issues apart from regular bmw maintenance (valve cover gaskets, oil filter gaskets, etc)
owned a 2018 f82 comp when I was 20, f90 comp and f95 comp at 22, g82 comp rwd and bentayga at early 23, now I'm still 23 and own a g80 comp xdrive+ f92 comp lmao
What do u do
@@deeleem1724 grad student doing eecs
I've been going back and forth over the decision to make an M3 my next vehicle but I keep hearing these BMWs are great cars, they're also are maintenance monsters and become money pits after a while. And I'd definitely want an older one. I really like the 2008-2011 models.
E9x will cost a bit more in maintainence for sure! But they are just so special! Lol
Get things into perspective, any car you buy will cost money in maintenance, so it depends on if you can afford to maintain the car, and how well ya gonna look after it and if you’ll be using daily or not, after owning an E46 330 m sport convertible for 7 years, I’ve just recently bought an E92 330 m sport, only to realise that cos I do really low mileage in a car, as I have a motorbike which I use to go to work and back on, therefore the car doesn’t get used daily, I worked it out I can afford to get an E92 M3, so, as long as all goes well over the next year, I’m gonna have some fun with the 1 I just bought, then trade it in and go for the M3, why not!!, with my usage, it also won’t depreciate in value, just giving u some food for thought 🤷🏻
Time for an f80!!!!
You should buy a cheap high mileage one 100%
Yes!
I want m4 convertible f83
Is a 3-4 owner f8x with around 70-100k miles still a good buy? I understand you don't want to get a car that has been beaten on but rather taken care of well.
i have my f80 for sale I'm the second owner, first owner was a older guy and i only have had it for like 8 months and the reason I'm selling it is because I'm getting the g80 I love the one i have but came up the opportunity of getting a new one.
@@Cres_23 gotcha bro. Your f80 is nice from your profile picture lol. In an ideal world, you typically want to get an f80 as a second owner??
Love the video man. Can you restrict this video from 16-25 year old NYC viewers ? My f80 insurance will double my monthly payment here soon. Kids are dodging mopars to buy f8x for takeovers and this is getting out of control
Thic 🔥
Yessir
F8x the last True M3
BMW gong makes me physically ill. Always keep my gas topped up to avoid the ptsd.
now s55 or b58?
Please don’t start that. We don’t want the b58 cheerleaders chiming in saying it’s a better motor. I’m sick of that debate. Just let the f8x shine in this vid
Its better too just buy a brand new 330i M sport package. Thats what my 17 year old brother did. U know it wont have any problems, hold value better, u get all the new tech. I guess unless u wanna flex u got an Old M car. He paid 40k for his 330i M sport.
…don’t forget, some people still live at home. When someone still lives at home, he/she can afford the latest ‘n greatest…so, these $1500+ per month car payments are cake walk.
i can't fine one for 30k
buy a clapped one! so much content u can make out of it..
I want to lol
If anyone finds a black on red f80m3 lmk
Don’t do this to me! I’m in the market for an F80 lol trying to spike the price on me!
Just so you know I'm selling my F80 the car is good, I'm just getting a new one G80
best M you can buy is a e92 335i n54
Oh wow!
yeah I own both a f80 and a n54 335i.... 335i feels like a shit box now. In no way does a 335i compare to a newer gen m car. Simply no way a 335i can outperform one on any level.
DING 37 DEGREES LIKE PLS JUST NO
The f80 is my dream car and have been waiting to see your take/build of one man🫡🔥 hopefully one day
What about f30/f32 35is🥲
$1300 dollars brother my g8x is $1300 a month 🫠
