not at all dated, great looking car. getting one next year even if the market doesnt shift a bit and i prefer it over the look of the G80 which i am also getting as a gift for someone
I have had one from new in 2018, then switched a few cars, bought another, sold it. Bought a GT3 911.2, bought another as a second car. Was given a G80 for the weekend. Still have the M4. Just such a great all round car and at todays prices... unbeatable if you keep them looking OEM.
I have owned one from brand new to 3 years old as lease and it sounded the same. I was going to keep it up but was skeptical. Looking back it is a super reliable car for the level of performance and beauty. Trust me this car is great!
Have a beautiful 2020 M4 Heritage Edition in Violet Blue. Garage kept and drive it 2 months out of the year when im down in Florida. The M4 is one of the best cars out there.
Nice video and cheers from Texas! 🍻 I’ve had my F82 for about 4 years and it has been nothing short of perfect. No issues at all and I still get a smile every time my garage door goes up. Great city daily driver that gets 27 MPG on the highway and turns into a monster with push of a button. 😊🏁
@@IwokeUpInSOMA Good question! The M1 and M2 buttons are very customizable which is great! It is a pretty dramatic change when the throttle response is changed to Sport Plus. I have the M Performance Exhaust and that really comes to life. The adjustable suspension and steering response is a great feature. I rarely turn off the “nanny” features like DSC Dynamic Stability Control since the car can get pretty squirrelly. Great and very fun car.
@@jbrown7403 thanks very much! I am picking up a used 2018 comp this weekend, as an upgrade to my 2007 e60 530i, and am basically trying to learn everything i need to know, to transition nicely to a dct trans M car! Cant wait, thanks for the quick reply!
@@IwokeUpInSOMA oh great! You’ll love it! The DCT is a wonderful transmission. Very versatile and fun to play with the variable shift speed. There are some good UA-cam videos about the DCT. Very simple once you get used to it. The main difference is there is no torque converter so you have to push the accelerator to move from a stopped position (unlike a gentle coast when you take your foot off the brake in an automatic transmission car). Enjoy in good health (but be careful and respect the car 😉) Love to hear what you think about the car once you’ve gotten to play with it a bit! 🏁👍
@@jbrown7403 yup! Thats brilliant! Ive got loads of stuff planned for it (gonna get it professionally dinitrol undersealed, change all the fluids - to bring it to a known state, and lots of non performance mods!) Cheers!
Most of those I've never heard of failing. OTOH charge pipe crack. The charge cooler will leak. Popping off a charge pipe or J pipe isn't uncommon. ABS sensors and the edc accelerometers go occasionally. Aside from the overblown crank hub, none of the common stuff is expensive.
Had my F80 m3 for 6 months best car I've ever had by a mile. Mine had to go back into bmw with the exhaust sensor issue. Its going back in tomorrow as I'm getting a little slug on oil cap. I'm told its only condensation as its only driven at weekends. I'm not overheating or losing coolant. But best to get it checked out I guess.
I have a M4 for more than 4 years. It is a great car. I just had a great time with my M4. I still didn't consider sell it. I strong recommend this car. Strong and precise
I have a 2014 f80 m3 that randomly started misfiring driving home one day and the eml started flashing, plugged it in and no fault codes. Drove it on for a few days and no issues until I got on the dual carriage way sat at 70 and it started to misfire again but with no eml. Seems to only be when in sport. Haven't driven it since. Is booked in to be looked at but not sure what it cud be. Hopefully just plugs or something simple and not too expensive. Great car though. Still Love it
I've watched a fair few of your videos now, just saw an m5 on ebay so thought I'd have a look on you tube, so informative! And properly researched. Top video. 👍
A lot of issues will always come down to poor maintenance, as long as you maintain the car properly and get it done properly, it will last. Good video. Have a 2018 Sakir Orange one myself, and they are fantastically fun. I personally like the exhaust note.. it sounds better and normal once the engine is warmed up and in sports mode.. that's where the car really shines.
Oh my god this car is incredibly good looking. Best looking M3/M4 hands down. Yes, the E46 is more timeless. The F82's design doesn't get enough praise. Pretty much all M3's age very nicely, but this along the E46 will age incredibly well.
Currently drive a Z4 35iS and its N54T (BMW 1M) engine sounds wonderful. Considering upgrading to an F82 M4 but if the sound is as crap as it seems first thing I'll be doing is an exhaust swap.
Thanks very much for this video. I've had an e92 m3 for years. I love the sound it makes. The sound is the only thing that is stopping me changing it. I'm pretty sure I will get the F82 but if I do, I know I'll miss that v8 howling. A maverick shout might to be buying an i8. If I'm going to lose the soundtrack, maybe not having to pay the roadtax is a price worth paying?
i like the grunt, with the 6spd manual it sounds great after a tune. ONLY DCT have crank hub problems after 600whp from that jam when shifting. AND BELIEVE ME the manual version with comp. pack is a WORLD of difference from the one shown here, good luck finding a hardtop comp manual , if you do and it has the good seats, better grab it quick
I was looking at the f80 but my 335d e90 has never skipped a beat and with a few bolt on bits and a good map I can give these boys a run for there money
The only other thing I would mention and I was going to have mine done on my F82 M4.Turbos seem to go after a few years and this is due to mostly age and wear on their seals of them. So price into mind that you might have to change them if you are buying older M4 or M3.
@@toleio yeah S55 engine seems to like turbos. Early warning signs can be white smoke coming out back end every so often. And it's the seals in the turbos that have worn.
looking lovely with the standard wheels/ wheel colour..... black is getting boring mind you I come from a time when it was special to have black wheels... I.e the Naughties!!!
Dont know specifically for those models, but BMW engines are getting more and more reliabile, e.g. N20 to B48 to B58, they are progressively more anr more perfected. Stick to gasoline and you are golden.
Of course is..half of them will have it soon or later stock or tune..but nothing like f10 m5-6 that the amount of seized engines is insane..m4 and m3 are way more reliable ..just buy one that's being fixed even if it has 62k miles on it
I need help, I purchased a 2019 M4 with front corner damage, had only 18k miles, I fixed the car, replaced transmission cooler, topped transmission with oem fluid (4 its), drove the car and transmission or clutch slips on all even gears. Odd gears drives normal. So then I flushed the transmission and used ista to set adaptation and adaptation unsuccessful, says (values outside tolerance) "refer the clutch according to instructions". Can it be that the clutch wore out on all even gears only? Is there something I may be missing? Any help will do, I live in a 3rd world country and this car is not common here, not many professionals know how to work on these.
@@ScottishCarClan constant slippage on 2nd 4th and 6th. Right now when I move the car from one place to another I have to jumó from first to third because 2nd for instance I tap on the accelerator, it barely grabs. If I continue to accelerate on second it slips and then I get a transmission heat warning.
Hi. It turned out to be the clutch. Not sure how it burnt out at 18k miles. So far I’ve driven 3k miles and no issues. Tuned it to stage 1, k&n filters and exhaust… can’t complain
Oh ffs another person talking about the fucking crank hub. It's a very rare issue. People who have years of experience around these cars (I mean tuner people who sell parts for them etc) know this.
M2 uses the N55. Which shares alot of engine components to these. They just need a fair amount of love to keep them reliable. For 20k region I would keep a few grand more to do the bits mentioned over a couple years
So how much is the car? I couldn't find a price list on your Facebook page and the car didn't appear in Autotrader links either. This is my first video and it triggered me to watch others and subscribe. Well put together content and presented great!
Its a shame isn't it because its a great engine in other ways! I couldn't make my mind up on the sound. Certain rpm's sound cool then it just sounds terrible!
@@ScottishCarClan oh absolutely! My buddy has a mildly modded manual M4 and I love how it handles like a muscle car almost. But the sound. Woof. But otherwise, they’re amazing and reliable in relation to other BMW’s

Yeah exactly this video talks about the issues on the forums, not on the cars XD
I’ve had a m4 for almost a year now the only big repair ive had to do was the valve cover which is pretty expensive
When you convert to single turbo they sound phenomenal

The 1st thing that goes wrong,the car smokes on start up,is either worn turbos, or valve seals,its smoke and not steam..
Nice DSG gearbox you have in that M4 :)) , is a DCT , not Volkswagen group to use that.
such a nice spec, the opal white on black with hyper silver wheels

S55 turbos are rock solid, compared to n54 which were blowing at 60k.

Seatbelt recal? That doesnt apply to me since i dont use them anyway.
Great vid again. Loved to see an f30/31 335d vid
Thank you for the knowledge.
Just want to comment on the sound from the cold start: now, it may be just me, but it did sound a bit weird after a second or so
can we get that full report?
7 speed dsg? Or dct?
It’s a dct
Great info especially as someone who is considering one.
The looks are a upgrade to M3 e43, which was a amazing looking car
This has to the most least ticked options f82 I've ever seen
your m4 sounds really great what exhaust is on that
What front lip do you have on this M4?
How do these compare with the E92 BMW M3 🤔
I thought they said the tapping noise from engine was normal for m4
turbo waste gate rattle is common. That's the most common cold start noise.
How do I get in contact ? I’d like to know pricing and location
What carbon lip is on the front? Think I want one for mine 😊
The only problem I have with this car is that I don’t have it, yet.
Hi. Do you still have the m4 mate?
Which one is more reliable 2019 m4 or 2021 m4 I think they have different engines
Dont know specifically for those models, but BMW engines are getting more and more reliabile, e.g. N20 to B48 to B58, they are progressively more anr more perfected. Stick to gasoline and you are golden.
I didn’t know that Scotland was a real place
Is the crank hub that much of an issue?
Only when they been mapped don't happen when standard
Of course is..half of them will have it soon or later stock or tune..but nothing like f10 m5-6 that the amount of seized engines is insane..m4 and m3 are way more reliable ..just buy one that's being fixed even if it has 62k miles on it
DSG?
is this car still available
I like the sound
Some also mention rod bearings 'cause they share them with N55

Does it only slip under heavy acceleration or constant slippage even on partial throttle?

I would say you have a bad clutch. Dual clutch transmissions have 1 clutch for the odd gears and 1 for the even gears.

Dm us on Instagram or fb Steven ! Still available for now
You didn't cover everything, you missed the charge cooler issue where it leaks coolant into the inlet.
those suspicious white spots that mysteriously appeared all over the engine compartment.
Informative video.
Oh ffs another person talking about the fucking crank hub. It's a very rare issue. People who have years of experience around these cars (I mean tuner people who sell parts for them etc) know this.
depends who you ask , the group of f80/82 owners have all got it done and tell everyone it’s a must to get done so idk
Is this still for sell? I can’t find it anywhere and I’m in the market for one now 🙏
Yes, shoot us a message on Instagram or Facebook and we’ll get all the details over 🤗
Damn it looks godly good
1 min in - that’s the cold-start noise - give it 10 seconds - flip to sport mode - blip the throttle and hear the deep rumble - amateur
Excellent 😃😃
Your mean it shares with N54.
I’m thinking of swapping my 996 Turbo ( just spent £17k on it) for one. Good idea or just asking for more trouble? Is an M2 less trouble?
M2 uses the N55. Which shares alot of engine components to these.
They just need a fair amount of love to keep them reliable. For 20k region I would keep a few grand more to do the bits mentioned over a couple years
