The G Man

Key is to stay sensible, especially in winter, 4WD or not 😅

the pre programmable M1 and M2 buttons are a game changer for me, my M1 set up is spot on for a ‘spirited’ drive, my M2 set up is monstrous, albeit short of switching all nannies off and remaining in 4WD. i think tuning it, not for me anyhoo, would ruin the aesthetic and DNA 👍🏼

that last photo is a weird angle, in the flesh the sculpted bonnet sets off the front end really well. It’s a very aggressive looking prospect seeing it in your rear view and it’s unmistakable as a G8X M car. Thanks for the positive view 👍🏼

Cars been in for new car correction, PPF (whole front end, A pillars, mirrors, sills and boot ‘shelf’) and ceramic coating. Couple of pics from PPF place, weather was sh1t today and I had too much on to do some decent pics 🤨

Couple of better shots….

I won’t be going down the tune or decay, been through all that mad stuff with other cars, haven’t got the energy for it tbh. An OPF back exhaust is a distinct possibility. Paint protection and stance first though. No going mad on CF stuff either, it’s crazy expensive and once you start on that route it’s hard to know when to stop 🤔 Stock, mostly, is where I’m staying, plenty of grunt and yeah, think you’re right what it’s got at the moment is pretty much the sweet spot 👍🏼

It’s got that ‘sleeper’ look to it but to those that know…… Future icon IMO, the next M3 Touring will certainly be hybrid if not all electric. I miss the seatbelt ‘butler’ of the M440 though 😂

I thought that the M440i was rapid and, it was, sub 4sec to 60 and all that pub bragging stuff but this is, for me, on a different scale, just the way it lifts its skirt and shoots off. Twin turbo makes the biggest impact I guess. Gave me back the enthusiasm I had with my Mustang.

I very nearly bought an M4 before my M440i, never bonded with the M440 really hence the short turnaround with it. The M4, as with the M440, on reflection didn’t meet my lifestyle needs, GT touring with capacity for dogs 😅.

First one already done 😂, some 50th anniversary badging, mostly cosmetic but a set of MoTech spacers 15mm front, 12mm rear and a set of front Eibachs. Rear is a perfect height front needs a light drop. Be getting a ceramic coating as soon as time allows, possibly front end PPF and that’s it 🤤

Cheers Alex, been looking, researching, every YouTube review watched. It’s near supercar performance when needed, dog and grandkid mover for the old grandad in me 😆

It’s on another scale, we’ve also still got our 320d xdrive touring, a kind of his and hers 😀.

Ever since I had a go in an M3 (V8) 3 series coupe, oh about 12 or so years ago, I’ve hankered after a M3, circumstance and the right one just never turned up! Well now it has in the shape of a G81 M3 Competition Mdrive Touring in Brooklyn grey. This car is very, very different gravy from anything I’ve ever had! Blisteringly fast, on rails and a stunner to gawp at!! The tech is off the scale, too much mibees! just had the running in service done so brave pills at the ready, its time to stretch its legs. I’ve got, surprisingly, few photos, but I’ll attempt to post a few….

That looks stunning! Reminds me of the new corvette

Had a bit of work done on my new whip.... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6osOaXtGDL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
