8:02 when he said "i thought i needed to spend some money, but maybe its my driving". I wish more people realised that driving skill/seat time is more important than what mods you have
@@TheWorldListensAre you okay? This is literally one of the most ignorant. "Tell me you were broke without telling me you're broke."Response I've ever seen 😅 You clearly don't own the car. If you push it (the center console lid) back towards the trunk, it locks itself into place so yeah you're dumber than soup and shouldn't ever comment on anything as what you say has no benefit to anyone but the inflation of you own self endorsed ego.
Just got myself an f80 this year. Everytime driving it , feels special. The feeling of knowing how much peformance is hidden on the pedal when needed is a special feeling, the wide body is subtle giving a hint of tell tale that it is a special kit
I have noticed this as well when I've traveled to countries with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car like in Japan. It takes me days to become more comfortable with it. But he hops in like it's nothing. Of course, he doesn't have to worry about transignals too much, especially when he's passing everyone else.😅
I still think it’s one of the best all rounders you can buy. 4 doors, tuneable, reasonable service schedule and pricing, interchangeable parts with lots of other BMWs, can daily it, track it, do road trips in it, 40mpg doing 65mph what more can you want.
40mpg is pushing it lol, maybe 30-35 at 55-65mph on level grounds. Where I am in Pennsylvania I get about 21mpg daily driving mine for the past 3 years and that’s a mix of city stop and go, back country hilly roads, and highway driving. But when I drive it 1000+ miles down to Florida it was hard to keep a slow speed to maintain that mpg, still only filled up 3 times though driving down the entire east coast essentially.
So many people tune these cars for power but they don’t need it at all, make the brakes strong and give it a bit more grip with tyres/suspension and you’re good to go
As a BMW F82 M4 owner I totally agree with Misha. I’ve had mine since new in 2016 and I still love the car. Best bang for your buck, it rips around the track and it’s fast! Handles way better than my Lamborghini Huracan EVO. Never selling it.
Love the F80. Something about the 4dr M3’s that get me, maybe because it’s like a touring car and I’ve been a huge fan of touring car racing for years. But anyway, on more topic.. this is a really well sorted car Misha. Few mods and we can all see how well it goes. So so many people are overlooking proper brakes like AP’s and proper tyres for a good run on track. Start with those and a stage 1 and you’re going to be very quick on most tracks. Great video, great lap, was pretty much perfect. Was really impressed by the car 👌🏼 Owner seemed like a good guy too. One of my favourite uploads 👍🏼
I've been enjoying these videos since I discovered the channel a couple of months ago. Is it just me, or is this one of the best drives he's had? Seemed like he was particularly on point this day. Curious if he agrees, and if he had some sort of special breakfast etc...
Such a fun car, with looks to match! Just bought my f80 M3 and did a 180 mile round trip, mostly motorway at 60 mph but with a few A roads, and averaged 41mpg! Two adults and 2 kids in the car.
@@devilheadas yeah i don't think he expected Misha to pass there as he was braking for the slow car, and when he did, it must've frightened the life out of him haha
He did it because he didn't like the aggressive overtake. But he had to move over at least in the straight (at 6:10) and brake a little. He didn't because he can't accept that he is slow , so he was trapped behind the slow car. 90% his fault. Misha was a 10% at fault because if the timing didn't work out like it did, the Porsche would crash the slow car or would crash into Misha's right side.
was thinking same, temp gauge would be nice, the amount of vehicles that have been over boosted and overheat half way around is bad. well set up cars are a pleasure to drive and even watch . this is a nice ride, and seems to have a lot of potential.
@@zf8496 Not really, he yielded, as he should, because faster traffic is coming trough. You have to anticipate that, despite other traffic, despite the corner coming up. Misha is in no way shape or form at fault and the guy is an idiot for flashing his lights.
@@ZenzDeluxeexactly. Don’t wanna be passed at that point? Don’t move over yet wait until after the slow car or just yield and accept it. People like that do my head in I get it too I’m sure it’s the U.K. plates that annoy people even more I met a few Germans that were let’s say unenthusiastic about being slower.
@@ZenzDeluxe totally agree with your statement but i feel that might not be what happened. Before the bend, you can see the slower car in front of the porsche and i beleive the porsche had slowed a little to anticipate what the car aheads movement was. Going around a corner at those speeds might be 2nd nature to misha but i feel as tho the guy was still taking that corner on the driving line before he was going to overtake the slower car and not actually yeilding? I could be wrong though.
That looked so planted. No drama. Just fast as f! The barely suppressed fear in the owner's eyes at times made me laugh. I'd probably feel exactly the same. Immediately starts looking at Autotrader...
My F80 had the Brembo GT brake kit and stock Michelin summer tires with the HAS kit and I always told people that it needed nothing else. Until I drove my Cayman GT4 I thought nothing could be faster on public roads. 😊
People talk shit about the F80 and how bad it sounds, but it’s still one of the best handling BMW cars they ever made. Tires suspension is really all you need. Doesn’t need 700 hp
Just sold another F80, finally moved onto the G80. What a mistake. Can’t stand the gearbox/ gearing, seats, noise… it’s like a softer fatter brother… miss the F80 which is so motorsport. Micha hits the nail on the head these are great cars, last true M car in my opinion. Even the seats in these are brilliant, interior functionality, tech… brilliant things.
I felt the exact same. Driving an F80 the first time shocked me. It felt so special and analogue/connected. Also felt so balanced and on its toes. The G80 disappointed me. As a daily driver it’s miles better than the F80, but just felt fast without being engaging and weirdly for an M car, didn’t feel amazingly balanced
@@bmf5420 totally agree. the F80 generation was plenty modern, great gear box, power, tight feeling car. Super fast and the way it would light the wheels up made you respect the car. I’m a young guy but hate the tech in the new G series. Less is more, I want a drivers car with 4 seats and a boot. Feels like the new cars are designed by none driver enthusiasts and designers who are ground braking but not connecting with the consumer. It feels like the direction BMW is going is quite strange. The new M5, speechless and confirms the feeling that BMW doesn’t make M cars anymore just fast saloons not worthy of the badge.
@@swb7161 bro we’re literally on the same wavelength 🤝 M cars have always been my favourite for the fact they can offer so much engagement and skill from the driver to get the best out of whilst being in a useable package. As if current BWM designs are bad enough, you’re spot on with the new M5. It’s so far from what M cars are supposed to be, I really don’t understand what BMW are playing at nowadays 🤦♂️
@@bmf5420 totally agree. Sadly in another 3-5 years from now the f80 will feel quite old. 2018 was peak for most cars, and I’ll sadly need to probably keep moving with the times. Have a great weekend!
