It’s here. The sixth generation G80 BMW M3 and that massive grille. Being such a controversial car, there was only one person to slot into the carbon bucket seat of this £75k, 503bhp, rear-wheel drive saloon: Craig Revel Horwood. Unfortunately, he wasn’t around, so we put Chris Harris behind the wheel instead. We hope that’s alright.
Here’s what he had to say in this brand new instalment of Chris Harris Drives…

i think hes winding down as the writting is in the wall about electric and autonomy. The dull depressing future that awaits is gonna be crushing to enthusiasts. He said it here in the video, soon to be replaced by electric. It almost seems by his mood and demeanor that hes read a sad article about the future of cars before he made the video.

Just moved from an F80 to a G80 and Chris is unbelievably on point when he said it has lost a lot of character but really makes up for it in capability. The generational leap has never been bigger. I will miss the insanity of the F80, but in the same way I do not miss the insanity of a crazy ex girlfriend. Growing up can be sad and beautiful at the same time.

@thijst5571 5 месяцев назад

Beautifully spoken . I came from an f82 and now own a g80 and it’s exactly how you described . I grew up , I have a kid .. I kinda enjoy the comfort and “niceness” of the g80 compared to the f82 .

@CarlosLopez-cj9kb Месяц назад

A little late to the party but couldn’t agree more. I have a 4 month old and felt the visceral feeling of the f80 was too much and I quickly realized my tastes had changed. The f80 had the smell of ethanol, the smell of the catless down pipes, the obnoxiously loud r888r tires, and the loud exhaust. But I’ve been stock on the g80 for a month now and I certainly don’t miss the insanity of my ex in the slightest. If anything, I find more pleasure now in how the car is in stock form.

so it's a let down by the ZF (instead of DCT), and the engine feels like a more powerful M340i, otherwise the steering and handling are a lot better even though it weighs at ~1730kg, and, may mean something more significant for some people, with a bit less personality comparing with F8X - that’s how i’d summarize Chris’ comment

@PrinceBarin77 3 года назад

Spot on about the looks as compared to the F80 (it’s even more striking when you compare the G82 with the outgoing coupe). Amazing to drive though - more controlled than its predecessor and mind blowingly quick. But you should be required to take a test to qualify for the RWD version.

In my view, why would you get a manual when power is at these levels? If you want a fun manual, buy a regular 911 manual

@philspaghet 3 года назад

@@teamracing07 Why would you NOT want a manual? The GT3 already proved high power manuals are effective. Plus the bigger reason is the 8 speed torque converter auto. It's not as good of a transmission as the DCT and too smooth and a bit slower. The manual seems better engineered for the car here since it's been reworked apparently and the manual car weighs less and has less hp. Plus the manual is always more fun and rewarding to drive.

@supaahflyy 3 года назад

Im a guy with both an M4 and a Tesla so I'm basically better placed than any person to comment, it's all about preference. As a daily driver, don't have to hear the engine drown on in traffic, instant torque is more helpful is always the faster car in and around town driving, autopilot in the traffic leaves you far less tired, in that respect the Tesla is a far better car than my M4. As a car I want to have fun in, rip around bends, rev to 7500rpm for the heck of it, take it out occasionally on a cruise, the M4 is a far better car. So what's my point? It depends what you are looking for. A daily driver or a car for the weekends and fun. Or better yet, get both like me haha

@tim3437 3 года назад

@@supaahflyy 2 very nice cars sir, what he's saying though is he doesn't want to be forced to just drive electric. That will probably be the future. You yourself, as an M4 owner must be disappointed with that option, as you have it now?? Enjoy.

@supaahflyy 3 года назад

@@tim3437 Ahh yeh the UK regulations and all. Im in Australia and lets just say we have dinosaurs in Government. They dont even have any incentives to buy electric infact here in Victoria, its going to be first state in the world taxing electric cars haha. So that paints a picture of how slowly our 'transition' away from petrol cars to electric cars is going. Unfortunately the UK government for you guys is much faster and only has 9 years of selling new petrol cars. I think it would be awesome/wise to keep a hold of your favourite petrol cars after 2030. Can only imagine they appreciate in value too

@safakhan3088 3 года назад

@@tim3437 that is the MAIN problem with electric cars, politics force people to drive them. If we would just keep several drivetrains, no one would hate on electric cars, trust me. All i know is autonomous cars are coming fast, and that will be a problem for a lot of people.
