Jumped in the G22 at 7:45am and headed on down to Cheltenham to swap the cars over. The drive down was very uneventful, had the car in Sport Individual just to get myself prepared for the firmer set up on the G87. The G22 is such a capable car, had a blast driving it down, I was still wondering if I was making the right decision, as an all round...

So I’m gonna throw a question out there for anyone who has owned a (full) M car.

What is the best, and what is the worst part of M ownership?

For context, the place I am coming from in asking is that an M3 Touring has been my dream car since long before it was ever released (E46 based concept model for anyone who cares…), and it is now looking feasible that I may be...

I have a 2016 F83 M4 Convertible.
Here in N Wales we have had even more rain than usual and now there is a distinct sloshing sound coming from the left rear wing when I drive the car. My local BMW specialist said they had dealt with this when it happened not long ago, but obviously not a lasting fix!!
Anyway - it is a drain hole. How hard can it be to clear it? Only problem is finding where the d4mn thing is. I've had a poke around but can't find it. Do I need to start taking panels...

It boils down to do I keep the G80 which I love or have one last hurrah - and this really be my last new car as I am getting older and need to stop spending so much on cars and start being sensible!!!!

Quick q on the above, my car(!) has contacted the dealership and said its due a 16k, oil, plugs etc . The prob is its just tipped 4,000 miles. Should I get it done or leave it? I am swaying to the latter for now as when I had one previously only used to rack up 3k a year and they wanted to service it every year!

I'm looking to place an order for an F90 M5 for a March/April delivery. I've gone over my options and have been given a test drive car for 3 days before I confirm.

I specifically requested a snapper rocks blue coloured vehicle as this is the colour I would want to order. (snapper rocks blue exterior, with smoke white/black merino upholstry, and piano black interior trim).

On first thoughts, it seems this colour is different from what I imagined. It looks...

The red M2 was right in front of us as we pulled in, immediately didn't like it. The Toronto red has an orange tinge to it, the grey skies may have accentuated this, but it just didn't quite look right. The tan interior didn't work in the flesh, it was too much of a contrast with the red and black, later...

Not usually a fan of white cars, but this looked ok in standard Alpine White. Irons out some of the more controversial body lines in white, these tend to be accentuated in other colours. Not a fan of black wheels though, too...

Would have thought this would have been covered but can't immediately see it. I have had my F80 M3 Comp for a year now and absolutely love the car. But had a short window of opportunity to px it for a year old G80 x drive with 2,800 miles. In the end the BMW Dealer wanted full dollar for the G80 and the px was a bit naff considering the F80 values have not dropped by much at all. I reckon I will get a G80 eventually. A few comments.

Can you get used the grill.
Why are there 20"...

A while back I had to delete my profile in the car because it would not update the software via my app. My car originally said “Hello Paul” when the Idrive started but since I have had to re-setup my profile it now uses my connected drive email address.

I had a M3 circa 18 years ago and had to get rid of it for a people carrier, not nice times but needs must. I hit 150 in the old one and was told if you pass 155 in 5th you bypass the limiter, never did it. Not hit that yet just 145 but is are F80 / G80 realy limited?]]> Sat, 13 May 2023 19:40:16 +0000 https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/exhaust-tips.4938/ https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/exhaust-tips.4938/ invalid@example.com (Magrah) Magrah
I would have thought this had been covered but I could not find it bar replacements. My F80 has very black / carboned tips. Obviously the previous owner did not care but I has seen a number of M3's and M4's with lovely shinning pipes. Just wondering if there is a way to restore mine. I know some don't care but the car is my pride / joy and took me a lot of hard work to buy it.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, my wife says use some Mr Muscle!!!
