It's no secret that BMW M3s are a great bit of kit, an everyday driver's car, and now that the latest G80 version comes with xDrive, in my opinion, it's the best yet.
A massive Thank You to BMW UK for lending me their top spec G80 BMW M3 Competition xDrive for a week to film a bunch of different videos with, I absolutely loved it!

Another brilliant video mate! Glad to see you loved it so much, mine still surprises me when I press the right buttons... The only package the comprehensively beats it (in my opinion) is BMW's very own M5 CS, that takes everything to another level again and adds a better ride 👌 Happy 2023 and keep pushing with the channel... 🎬

@RickTheSpud Год назад

Thank you buddy, really appreciate that! It was a bit of a rambly rush as it was going back that day but I knew I had to put my thoughts on film, and I couldn't hide how much I love that car, what an everyday fun fest! 🥳👌 I've had a little blast in the M5 (non CS) from Goodwood, and on track in the rain, it just seems a bit bigger and more sensible. I'll stick with the crazy! 😜 Thanks for the encouragement too mate, I'll do my best... 😘❤️

@Simmo_Cars Год назад

Brilliant coverage of the car Rick. Made me realise how good that car is, and I don’t blame you for wanting to keep the car. Keep it up 👍

@RickTheSpud Год назад

Thanks buddy, yeah such a capable car in an everyday daily driver package. Would love one for sure! 😎

I really hope you get a G80 M3, I have the same spec minus the buckets seats (had back surgery) and ceramic breaks (dont track). You have a great personality and I'd love to see more M3 videos. Great job, some of the most enjoyable G80 videos on the tube.

@RickTheSpud Год назад

Ah wow, thank you so much. As you can tell I absolutely loved that car, so it was easy to make a good video about it. I would love a G80, in that spec, dream machine for sure. What a weapon! Thanks for your kind words, I'll keep doing my best... 😉👌

@chrispittock2099 Год назад

Excellent few reviews on this car Rick. If I were in the market for one (which unfortunately I am not)I would opt for the M3 Touring but any variant would be a weapon. Hopefully BMW give you another toy to play with so we get to see more content soon. Happy New Year Rick!

@RickTheSpud Год назад

Thank you Chris, and thanks for the support! 👊 Yeah the M3 is all the car you'll ever need and does everything so well, including drink! But you don't get something for nothing! 😜

@RickTheSpud Год назад

Ah thank you Richard, I really appreciate that! I hope what I've said has rung true with you and isn't totally off the wall! 👊😉 Perfect car for a trip like that - super comfy mile muncher on the trip there, then go and find some mountain roads when you get there! 💪

@richardwalton7005 Год назад

@@RickTheSpud definitely, every time I walk up to it I’m excited to get in and drive it. Always puts a smile on my face. I did the same trip last year with circuit days with a friend in his F90 M5, so much fun but felt big in the mountains, hopefully the M3 won’t feel so big.

@RickTheSpud Год назад

@@richardwalton7005 Yeah same, looks stunning and every journey has a fun factor! It's not a small car but it definitely feels smaller the more you drive it, and super easy to place! 😎👌

@alexanderperry7821 9 месяцев назад

Looking at Tanzanite Blue Metallic with the Kyalami Orange or Tartufo interior, Adenturine Red with Silverstone or Tartufo, or Goodood Green with Tarfufo. Although I do wish there was a tan interior closer to the cognac sensotec colour. That said, I'm loving this Skyscraper Grey with Orange.

@RickTheSpud 9 месяцев назад

And it looks so much better in real life, the grey looks very sparkly and super smart. I love it! I'm sure what ever you choose you'll be happy with it! 👊😉

@kentao4 Год назад

After having it for a week, do you think the carbon buckets are a good choice for a daily driver? Or are the carbon ceramics necessary? For me I’d be adding another $15k to get those. I doubt I’m going to call and add those options but man is it tempting!

@RickTheSpud Год назад

Me personally, I would 100% add the carbon buckets, even for a daily driver. I was in and out of them multiple times a day, sometimes an hour, when filming my 'Top 10' video and you develop a knack to dropping in them and climbing out of them, as shown in this video. They are so supportive while being so comfy, and are easily the best seats I've ever seat in! 👌 Carbon ceramics I wouldn't worry about I don't think, even with the odd track day.
