The weight difference isn’t huge compared to a rwd car because the only thing needed to convert this to four wheel drive is to connect to the two fronts to the transmission. The drive shaft and rear differential unit is already there for the rear wheels regardless of the version you choose. This is completely unlike other four wheel drive cars which are based on front wheel drive cars-those cars need to add more components like a drive shaft, etc. to convert them.

@chamaldealwis9 Год назад

Is connecting the two fronts to the transmissions difficult? Just wondering if it could be a cost effective way to pick up a used g80 with an ideal spec minus the awd then convert

@bavariancarenthusiast2722 2 года назад

You have come a long way George - shooting the 1st track part 2 years ago - it happened a lot in between - and now wrapping up the shoot in jan 2022. I am confident it will be a good year - better than the last 2 for all of us. Like the M3 - great looking car and platform, the Comp is the highlight. What a tech tour de force - there is everything inside, 4x4 which you can adopt to your driving style, the UX is great too, the looks is...good, awesome car!

@comaca 2 года назад

Mr. MotoMan, here in the GWN, you may not want it and we NEED it. Whether its front or rear biased, good WINTER (and winter is great by the way) tires and a competent AWD system makes getting up and down my driveway and our travels better. A4 allroad for a family with two new driving teenagers, well, I hope they don't track it before I do...

Please put the options prices on the screen. If we're actually interested we have to sit there and keep pausing, write, pause, write, pause, write. It would be so much better if you'd put the options on the screen so we can pause at the end and review. Love the videos! That's my only suggestion!

A lot of things he mentioned you don’t need I hate sport seats even if they were free I wouldn’t take them I rather get regular comfortable seats remember you aren’t racing most of people will be driving speed limits and in traffic lights unless your in Germany so for me sport seats are useless and I don’t even think they look good I rather have regular leather seats with heating cooling and massage if available and I don’t need no special brakes or carbon Fiber crap as mentioned most of the options that are extra you don’t need in real life unless you really like that stuff I would pay for heads-up display and technology that you would use no need for special brakes most people won’t even drive that fast even regular ones are made for this car so I’m sure you can still stop Even Benz have tons of extra stuff I’ll get the stock one if I buy one and maybe spend 3 to 4000$ on things that I would use daily and important

@deenoc3622 2 года назад

This engine albeit detuned is going into the new M2, which alledgedly is rear wheel drive only with the option of a manual transmission. Thats a car to look forward to for later on in 2022.

@ianthayer8688 2 года назад

Agreed, I just dont want to pay $80k for an m2 but thats where we're going..

The M3 looks lovely in that frozen paintwork. Sounds like BMW have managed to engineer in the AWD system without losing the RWD dynamics, which is not easy. Great review as always, Mr M.

@DavidJCarrell 2 года назад

@ryan702_ 2 года назад

@@ianthayer8688 Not really, you can't find a C8 these days without a 30-35K markup. 108K for this M3 is with EVERY optional component....you won't get a C8 with every option for that. Most M3 xDrive specs will probably be around 85-90K mark, since most won't add the 8K brakes, the $2.5K paint, etc... Also, this is faster than the C8 too, Edmunds did a comparison on them already.

@ianthayer8688 2 года назад

@@ryan702_ I see 2022 c8s for sale with the LT1 package for 90k. Only has 232 miles. OK the m3 might be a little faster than a base c8 but you didn't mention one important factor, looks too. C8 better than that pig from m3 IMO

I do like all wheel drive in my 2013 Audi S5. I feel my wife can drive it safely. I does present understeer though. I feel that my 2011 Cadillac CTS-V with rear wheel drive actually handles better than the Audi. So Audi for safety CTS-V for performance and handling. New BMW is impressive but not for me today.

I’ve had 3 BMW 650i Cabriolets… all with X-Drive. They are quicker because there is no slip. Tires last longer, and when it rains in S. Calif. it’s slick from all the built up oil on the road so the X-Drive is reassuring. I will never go back to 2 WD.

@ryan702_ 2 года назад

BMW Frozen paint is nice, but a pain to keep nice. I've had the last 2 generation S5's, and have always loved Audis. When I wanted to step up to the RS this year, I thought it would be an easy choice. Then, BMW added xDrive to the M3/M4....and now the RS can't even compete performance wise. Since Audi didn't change much interior wise from '19 to '22, I went to the M4 xDrive instead. The car is so good.

Picked mine up a weeks ago. 2 things you did not mention. You can program the car to switch from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive, assign it to the m1and m2 buttons on the steering wheel, then switch while driving (great for drifting)! Also, the carbon fiber roof is standard. Otherwise great review! Having fun ....!!
