In this video, Kyle Sulkar goes over his 2018 BMW F80 M3 and his opinions after purchasing and daily driving it for a full year. After owning many E46 M3's and E90/E92 variants, the F80 was the natural 3 series progression and it has proved to be an amazing one.
This chassis comes equipped with a RWD setup, a twin-turbocharged inline 6 motor that produces well over 400 horsepower. The E36 M3 produced around 240 hp from the s50 and s52 motor, the e46 produced 333 hp from its s54, and the most recent previous gen, the e90 e92 generation produced 414hp from its S65 V8.
In this video, I also address the reason for choosing a dual-clutch transmission or DCT over the 6-speed manual variant offered in the f80, f82 and f83 chassis. As well as covering its daily drivability, technology, and interior trim options giving you an overall look into whether or not this car would suit you as a daily driver.

My dad has a E92 M3 and it puts a smile on my face when I take it for a spin.
iron plays the e92 m3 is an awesome car my friend! Your dad has great taste. Thank you for watching!
It ain't yours tho
"I'm going to give you guys a little exhaust clip" - brings it up to a screaming, just above idle 2000 rpm. Balls of steel.
NJFPV Hahahaha. You’re not wrong, just realized how weak that was. It is how you get the car to burble like that though (and not sound like the funky tt i6 that it is) ... I promise to do some crazier stuff in the next video with this car -
@@KyleSulkar yeah - it does suck that the 2008 - 2013 m3 was an exhaust monster, and the much prettier and much faster m3 sounds weak with the tti6, but yeah, I hear you on the burble krackle. Plus, I think you want to baby it a bit ;)
NJFPV I agree my friend! The e92’s v8 is unmatched in sound! My car’s got catless downpipes now so the next video will definitely be more interesting 😈- and now that it’s at 17k miles I think it’s time to stop babying it so much!
11k in one year huh? I blew 10k in 3 months in my bmw lol
christian reyes Haha, I’ve done that before in previous cars! My commute isn’t as heavy as it used to be- and I had an X5 for a bit that absorbed some of the mileage but that’s awesome! I’m glad you are getting your use out of your car- they are meant to be driven!
uber?
@@KyleSulkar M3 is meant to be driven. 2018 F80 M3 46K miles in 2 years. No issues, routine maintenance. Daily driven M3. Winter driving, you must purchase performance snow tires for the M3, else you will slide around or get stuck. Must reduce rim size to 18 inches to get the maximum traction benefit. Enjoy your M3 and have fun! I enjoy driving the M3 every day. Sign up and take the M One Day driving school in SC where your driving skills will improve. You will drive all the M cars (M2/M3/M4/M5) to their limits on a track.
@@chgsupra1 You are totally right! And that's awesome - I'm now at 25k miles 2 years in - skipped a winter, but this past winter I bought blizzaks and the OEM 18 inch wheels - the perfect setup for me! And I will definitetly do that! Thank you for watching my friend! And enjoy that F80!!
Taxi?
Great video man, very helpful. Can’t wait to own of these
Thank you my friend!! You’ll love it
I love that the video was supposed to give u the answer if it was worth driving as daily driver car and then he just make a review on the specs on the car until the end if video....
What else would you like to know? Happy to make more videos about this car - I have since posted another update....
Nice video, I like your approach. Most reviews just seem to drag on without really any development or they spend the entire time talking about their 20 year old E46.
I really appreciate that my friend! Thank you for watching.
Yeah I've notice I watch videos when people get to the point and not randomly babbling
Beautiful car & great video 👍 can see you really keeping your hand on it
Thank you very much, Ryan!
Why would anyone buy an M3 and not put it to use is beyond me. It depreciates every year. Atleast enjoy the $$'s spent. Good choice on making this a daily.
ENTE couldn’t agree more! In my opinion these cars were build to be the well rounded daily drivers built for spirited driving and everyday use
Kyle Sulkar ... Makes me feel better as I'm daily driving my 2016 Silverstone II on a 163 mile commute 3 times per week and also driving it all over the place on my off days. Mileage adding up? I could care less because I'm not saving the car for the next guy.
Billy Johnson love this, Billy! Couldn’t agree more. Wishing you many more happy ///Miles!
They depreciate like all other cars, but the resale value is extremely strong with the m-series cars. Low mileage M3's/M4's are still going about 80 percent of its original price. Really good resale numbers..
The M cars are not like a normal BMW car yes it does depreciate until it turns 20. Then the value does start to go back up. I have a 2008 M3 V8 white with a carbon-fiber roof (deleted sunroof) It's hard for me not to drive it on the daily. I have a 2010 328 and it's just not as fun...
Nice M3! I had a 2016 BMW M4 with 30k miles and never had any issues. Got rid of it and got an comp M3 2018 (family). Love this car regardless of the next gen M3, I’m hoping to keep this for while. Btw I guess I use It as a daily driver (have a Civic SI as well) but I avg about 600 miles per month
viperbeam79 that’s awesome my friend! Glad to hear you are getting sticking to M cars with the growing family! These things really are great, regardless of what comes out I truly thing the F8X generation knocked it out of the park. Wishing you many happy miles ahead! And keep me posted on your next purchase !
You have two of my favourite cars, ..... dude who are you😃
@@atocampoari8575 thanks bro, well one now, got rid of the civic two years ago and now have a Shelby GT 500 :)
@@viperbeam79 ahhhh beautiful, I'm hoping you still have the m3 cause what a combo
@@rufatkupa4848 yes sir, still have the my F80 yas marina Comp M3 with stage 2 now :)
Bro, where u get that coat? Hook a brother up with details plz. Nice car
J T Hahahaha - Nordstrom rack! I think it’s like Michael Kors or something.
True story, he borrowed it Shaquille O'neal.....hahaha
How I think this happened:
*a beautiful car on the left of a nice jacket*
“What a nice jacket...”
Nice car 😀 - I've got the same generation M2 and I couldn't be happier!
One question though - what do you use on your seats and steering wheel to keep them clean and in good, hydrated condition? Yours still look brand new!
Sameer Dossa Thank you sameer! The m2 is an awesome car! And on the steering wheel, I use Sonax alcantara cleaner (so worth it, and works amazing on leather with no residue) and on the seats I use the Lexol leather cleaner, as well as conditioner. I love to use steam cleaners as well whenever possible as they pull away dirt and don’t leave any residue.
Loved the review brotha!🙌🏾
Appreciate you!!
Best daily driver I ever had, going for almost two years. Love my F80.
Totally agree my friend- the best of all the worlds. Just bought an f83 to test out the hardtop convertible platform - this chassis throughout is just amazing
Bro I’m curious how much is maintenance for you
At how many miles did you do your crank hub?
Thinking about moving on to a new car and daily use feel like the M3 would be perfect. I’m trying to lease it, wanna hear y’all opinions! On leasing it or their experience as a daily
You’ll fall in love the 1st week or 2, so that being said you’re more than likely to do a buy out
I love bmw but its very expensive in india 😭 .... I hope I'll make my dream!! Great review man!! ❤️ Love u r car!!
Haha I’m half Indian my brother- greetings from the US! Happy it could make you happy (:
Don’t think we don’t know you trying match with the car lol
Hahaha that’s the first time my clothes have matched anything then 😂
Can you get better gas mileage than 17mpg? as you said you do have it in sport+ all the time? i might be in the market for one, just h8 going 2 x a week filling up, i was just wondering if you can get 5 or 6 days/Full tank? 👍
Valentini Gotti what’s up Valentini! I would say that you can definitely get well into the 20’s with this car, just leave it in efficient, stay out of boost, and in auto- and I think you would have no issues! How many miles do you plan on driving?
sweet m3 brother, i just picked up a 2016 f82 and I absolutetly LOVE it. Amazing cars. I believe the DCT is better overall but I couldn't pass up the Manual haha.
Steven Commisso Congrats Steven!! That’s awesome, what a perfect time to buy too (right after they’ve depreciated nicely)
And I don’t blame you! The manual in this car is awesome, if I didn’t live in Chicago/have to deal with traffic I would be right there with you my friend. Wishing you many happy ///Miles ahead! Keep me updated on whether or not you do any mods etc!
Kyle Sulkar thanks brother!! I live in Toronto and have to deal with traffic but f**k it haha. So far i’ve done a resonator delete, x pipe and catless downpipe which really made it sound great! I want to do a stage 1 next year and add the burbles. I prrtty much did a chrome delete except the grills which are getting done sometime this winter. If you want you can go follow me on insta @stevenjcommisso and ill follow you back, i post my car on there
Steven Commisso awesome man! Sounds like that thing is perfectly set up! Following you on IG now !
Kyle Sulkar thats awesome dude i live im chicago too riverside area! im looking into getting an m3 aswell!m been my dream car
Awesome man! I’m near the loop! Let me know what you end up with man and good luck on your search!
i want to switch to the M series, I’ve been watching so many videos about these cars and seeing so many instagram posts and it’s driving me to it even more😂😂
They are the best!!!
when i see you here, it's like looking at myself. you look like my twin brother. the m3 competition has the nicer seats. are those optionable in this model?
Hahah thats awesome! And yep they are a bit nicer and have the slits in the center + the better seatbelts. It is optional! But you've got to get the complete competition package
does it have a soft limiter ik this sounds stupid but i’m curious
Iam waiting for the giulia Quadrifoglio 2018 long term review cause i really like the sound and the design and has also 4 door and its very fun to drive and able to use as a daily driver
The Real I agree! If any local dealers get one, I’ll be sure to spend some time with it and get a video up for you if I can!
Thank you for watching!
The suspension... Is the suspension rigid or is it smooth?
It's honestly very nice and completely daily drivable from the factory. I avoided modifying it as I didn't want to compromise this. It's no 7 series but truly is the best of all worlds in my opinion- the M5 would be the next level up, but also nearly double the price.
@@KyleSulkar My reason for asking is I currently drive a rally sport car where the suspension is rigid. I don't want another rally sport vehicle with such rigid suspension. I like the Lexus IS250 and I also love the M3... If the M3 suspension is smooth then I'll work with it as my next vehicle.
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says um
Chris Zambrano Hahahaha...this is amazing. You’re not wrong. Working on eliminating those.
Chris Zambrano I’m drunk as a bitch right now
Awesome M3! Just curious, I’m watching this video 3 years later from you publishing. Do you still own it? Have you had any repair issues? Thanks for the content!
Sold it around 30k miles because the value was still so high! (2020), bought an f83 m4 (2015) put 10k tuned miles on that, 0 issues, then g80 m3 new in 2021, 0 issues, then ended up finally switching to a 2014 911 turbo s, which I adore so far.
A lot has changed since this video, but I still think the f80 is legitimately one of the best cars ever (and a better value than the g80)
I’ll be buying another 2018 f8x as a daily again soon. Just wish the market would settle 😂
Thank you for watching, Jake!! Really appreciate it.
I daily drive my E46 m3 and I’m looking to get the f80 m3 and do the same 😂😁
mikey Did the same thing! Love love love the e46 M3- and actually getting one delivered today to do a rebuild project on! Stay tuned!
Drove one of these babes today. Pretty f cool (didn't have the heart to go over 90 m/h though hahaha)
Saving for this car now. Gonna be my daily for sure. How is reliability? Has it given you any problems?
That’s awesome man!! It’s been incredibly reliable so far (just uploaded a new 25k mile update to the channel as well as some additional mods etc. I’ve done) only oil changes! This thing is a tank!
Bro idk if u wanted to look street or classy combining the shoes and the coat.. 😂
I admittedly have terrible style lol
Hmmmm nice video have been looking at these for a while. Debating between the m3 or the Audi RS5 decisions decisions.
Pierre Thank you my friend! I’d say drive both and see what you like better. I have a feeling you might go with the m3 (;
Bmw all day I love the f80 and that’s my dream car. But I also want a 135i as well
Nice vid mate. What wireless mic did you use ?
Hey! Thanks my friend- the Rode Wireless Film maker kits are great!
Kyle Sulkar got ya 👍
By Daily driving means how many km a year ?
Christian Andolini roughly 22-24km per year
I’m currently in the situation on choosing a m5 f10 2016 all white with carbon fiber and red interior or a bmw m3 2018 white with red interior as well can anyone help with their honest opinion ?
J Views my brother actually has a decked out 2015 m5, and I’m working on a video of that now- would love to do a comparison.
The m3 has slightly better tech, is a bit more nimble and has slightly updated/newer looks - and probably a warranty if it’s an 18
The m5 sounds so so so much better, has a more comfortable ride and is capable of more power. However these motors can be slightly unreliable out of warranty (and expensive) and these cars just generally cost more money to fix. But I will go further in depth in a video ASAP
Kyle Sulkar thank you Kyle yeah do a video I will love to see it
J Views will be up this Friday! Hope you like it my friend.
M3 bro
Don’t buy ether one you’ll thank me later Save your self
How many time have you heard he say “uh” but my dream car
Haha, I’m working on it. Sorry about that, my friend.
You have the same birthday as my nephew..Kool
My dream car in white with red interior
Nice video!
Nick Awad Thank you Nick! I really appreciate it.
Random Question:
Where'd you get that overcoat, if you don't mind me askin'? Been looking for one similar. Looks great!
Beautiful Car as well...one day I'll get one....one day haha
Haha thank you my friend - love the question, I got it from Nordstrom rack (its Michael kors) but I really dont have sense of style lol
@@KyleSulkar Thanks a bunch for the speedy reply. And you definitely have a better sense of style than most, including myself lol
nobody:
drinking game idea: take a shot every time Kyle says 'uhh'
Roberto Caballero 😂😂😂 this sounds like a bad game. There would be no survivors
@@KyleSulkar good information btw now the M3 is my dream car 😄
Roberto Caballero That’s awesome man!! I have always loved m3’s (if check the rest of the channel out you’ll see that!!) thank you again for watching!!
We would die in the first 2 minutes 🤣
Happy birthday!
Was in the market for an m3 3 months ago, but picked up the Audi s5 Sb!
MushyTuber that’s a beautiful car my friend! Congrats on the purchase. I really love how the S5 looks- great choice.
I’m looking at an S5 as well. Always owned BMW. How do you like it? Any negatives?
kjt550 I haven’t owned it for too long but I’m loving it! No cons so far but ofc I would love a bit more power ;) things I’m going to do in few months time is to ceramic coating (I’ve done PPF already) and lowering springs. I like my black optics 5 rotors wheels so I’m prob not gonna change it. Took it to mountains a few months back and it handled superb, though it being a bigger vehicle.
MushyTuber Have an IG with photos? Would love to check it out! Sounds awesome
Kyle Sulkar yes! @quiets5 :)
@kyle sulker How much did u get the m3 bro??
Was 73k new - have more videos about the process !
I'm back and forth between this and the M5. I've owned M3's in the past. I now have 2 kids and want a car to bomb down to Savannah GA. in. I want more room in my old age!
Russell Lee my brother has an f10 M5 (just did a video on it) but they are insanely awesome cars... and you can’t beat the sound of that V8! Let me know what you end up getting!
@@KyleSulkar I've been looking at the F10, but the newer AWD model is really calling me. I had an Evo 8 as a track car. My last track car was a Focus RS. Really, really love me some AWD!
@@KyleSulkar The new M5 growl is insane.
I’m thinking of going over to bmw next car . But man you might Wana test drive a c63s.. I think it’s better for daily driving maybe .. Atleast the interiors are way better and more luxurious. And me personally I like the sound of the exhaust better. M3 probably better on a track but idk about fun factor
oxysz I don’t blame you- I’ve always been a bmw fanboy but Mercedes does make an incredibly nice car. Really like the new E63S
You made me want to turn in my F80 16 328i LCI to a F80 M3 ahaha great video, but if your willing to do a video about DCT. I would like to know more about it because I’ve seen videos about how to use it but I want to know more about the shifters, how to use it wisely like daily driving it normally, or fast when you want to speed it up it would help me a lot or maybe others man! Congrats to your M3 she’s a beauty!
SkaterChriz818 Haha- that would be an interesting project. And thank you for the kind words my friend!! DCT is super easy to drive and requires no real specific styles of driving like an SMG would. You definitely need to try it out!
Only m3 is f80. Your 328i is f30
What do you do in the snow?
Alpha V had an e70 X5 3.0
Was a great car for the winter, however they do start to have quite a bit of issues when they get up their in mileage. A friend of mine daily drove his on the 18” wheels with blizzaks and had no issues!
Bro your car is cleeaaannn
Haha, thank you my friend! It looks a bit different now w/ full chrome delete, carbon & wheels! Going to be posting some new videos with it soon! Thank you for watching!
Very nice. My M3 has 18 months and 82k. Km
bimmeracing that’s awesome!
Any issues with it in that time?
An M3 may be my next daily driver currently daily a 2018 430i 👀 2022 M performance exhaust is insane! 🔥
Those are both awesome choices my friend!!!
It’s a really beautiful Beamer but I’ll wait for the G80 M3 next year
Kevin Rivera don’t blame you man! I’m sure it will be next level
G20* 480 or 510 BHP!
AronbTV I believe the G20 will be the non-M models- the m3 will be the G80 chassis. But the HP #’s sound about right!
What's up @kyle? Has the engine blown up already or dual clutch gearbox died? These M3s are well known for that
No they aren’t lol
@@KyleSulkar So you haven't done your research on crank hub issue yet? I recommend fixing it preemptively before your engine turns to toast. It's a humble 3-4 days of work disassembling half of the engine compartment. Great BMW engineering that you have to fix by yourself in order to avoid turning $100k machine to $1k spare part box.
Does this car have Carplay?
Yep - it does! It was an option for like $200-300 or so) Personally not a huge fan over BMW’s standard Idrive system, but it’s not bad!
Sir plz tell me the mileage in city and highway plzzz tell bruhhh
Like 20 ish? depending on how you drive
@@KyleSulkar tell me brother In daily eco mode I have to use this how much kmpl mielage come
Well... was it a good choice or not?
bryan craddock 23k miles and counting!! It was a great choice. I love this car- the best M3 ever made as far as versatility. Thank you for watching!!!
Great review!
Thank you so much my friend!
*non car person here who happens to be watching a bmw video for disclaimers*
Forgive me if I sound stupid but do all the bmw M series drive manual ? What is dual clutch selector?
Do any m series drive automatic?
LMAO SORRY AGAIN IM UNEDUCATED IN CARS
Shela Duong Hi Shela, that is a great question!
It’s somewhat loaded, as the M transmissions vary from generation to generation-
But in short, the dct is a dual clutch transmission uses two clutches and a lot of new technology to make shifts as fast as possible without any delay- Making it different from an automatic standard transmission-
You’ll notice the difference when driving as well, and that the car won’t inch forward at stoplights etc. because you are utilizing the two clutches as essentially a heavily technically involved manual transmission without a clutch pedal.
The new M5 however, has reverted back to the traditional ZF 8-speed automatic transmission as they’ve developed ways to make these even faster and more capable of handling power.
Hope this helps a tiny bit.
@@KyleSulkar thank you so much I appreciate it!
Shela Duong of course! Would be more than happy to clarify any questions you have- the internet has a lot of haters, but this channel’s goal is to provide understanding to others without any judgement! Thank you for watching
SUBSCRIBED!!!
tashodeeuro3 thank you!
Ummm
From a experience as an enthusiast
Would you rather own is BMW M3 425hp
DCT
Or a Porsche macan turbo
400hp
DPK
As a daily
They're both cool
But I feel like the Porsche can easily take on most roads even if it involves going off road
Not rugged level off road but Outbacks
BMW M3 is low to the ground
But I really love it
Wat do you think Sir?
As a young guy of 21
Which is better for me?
Hey there my friend! I had the M3 for almost 3 years and my gf has the Macan S (for sale actually lol) so I’ve driven them both a ton. Porsche of course has more room and is easier all around to daily drive. M3 will be way more fun, more like a sports car, more tunable, and have slightly better technology as well. I think it really comes down to what you need the car for, I thought my f80 when I was 21 and it was an awesome experience. Might be a good idea for you too if you’re used to the power!
@@KyleSulkar Ohhh ok
Thanks alot Sir...
BMW M3 here I come
Lol
Love the car...
Thank you so much Eddie!!! Check out my latest video to see its transformation!
Make a playlist for each of your cars

@@KyleSulkar my king I hope you haven't forgotten
@@Villiyey I did it boss!!
@@KyleSulkar Appreciate u , let binge begin !
nice car ! what you do for a living ?
Thank you my friend! I run a creative digital marketing agency as well as a few e commerce brands/investments. Have some videos on the channel about how to get started!
very cool. wish you best bro. i'll check them out
Perfect color combo love it... makes me want to get one.. only issue is the mpg is so bad
Could be worse!
The CFRP roof is not optional. It’s standard equipment. You say “with that being said” too many times. E36 M3 had 240hp in the US. Yes I’m nitpicking but otherwise solid choice for dd. I dd my M3 Comp. Winter setup from November to March.
Arslan Akhtar 1. Carbon roof is optional trim a new purchase perspective as it costs $0 more compared to the sunroof, and many dealers stock both options. Regardless of what comes standard or not.
2. You’re 110% right, I definitely do say that too much, working on that.
3. “Somewhere in the 230’s” - you’re right. It’s 240.
4. Yes, I would say after deeply inspecting those last 3 segments, you’re definitely reaching to be nit picky...lol
5. That’s awesome! I really wish I would have got a comp pack, but at the time there weren’t many at dealers around. Congrats on the car and driving it the way it was intended for! And thank you very much for watching.
Kyle Sulkar I build to order so never have to deal with what’s in stock.
Arslan Akhtar that’s the way to do it! Planning on doing euro delivery if possible on my next car. Worth the extra patience to spec the car out to perfection.
Definitely a good choice! I love it
High Peak Autos Thank you my friend!
Good video
Thank you my friend!
Outside America the E36 M3 had 321bhp. US didn’t get double VANOS.
Yep.
I waited untill your content was exhausted to get a comprehensive heads up of 1 year's ownership, I waiting to hear about wear and tear, stuff covered by moto plan, tire replacement if any, total gas spent in one year with average mileage, the comfort levels as a daily, any other issues if any, depreciation after a year, insurance after a year, but then 11k MLS, you aren't using that car... Nice car, nonetheless..
Its got 27k now in 2 years, some people drive more and less than others. Insurance costs me $180 a month for full coverage via state farm - have another updated video posted, happy to go over costs of everything - would make a great video
Chicago is a good choice for the snow belt lol
Jeff L ? I’ve been on new Michelin Pilot Super sports without any issue. Given my commute only includes highway driving- a set of blizzaks for the 5-8 days (max) would be more than sufficient. Fortunately I am able to work from home- making these days equally as productive as ones I come into the office. The f80 m3 is the best car I’ve ever owned, and couldn’t be happier!
Bro I seen you on campus at uic rn
Conrad Stachulak Hahah that is crazy! I’m in class right now. Stop me whenever if you want to check out the car. I drive in some days between work. Also, thank you for watching!
Kyle Sulkar will do man I was going to get an f80 but I went with a b9 S4
Conrad Stachulak That’s awesome man! The B9 S4 is such a sick car, congrats on that! I park at the top floor if you’re ever at the garage- we can squad up!
Kyle Sulkar yessirski appreciate it we’ll post up on campus
Keeping the mileage low on your car for the next owner is like not sleeping with your misses too keep her fresh for the next man.
Yes we’ve heard that before. 30k miles in 3 years is plenty
Guessing guy hasn’t heard of a q50 red sport, checks off the whole list as well.
Q50 Red Sport is nice but infiniti is dying
Ehh, I’ve heard of them lol. I’m a BMW guy
Bro I love the M3s 😈 one day! btw I had a 335i I miss that thing 😭
Young Aze you’ll get it sooner than you think! 335’s are so badass man! Can’t go wrong
@@KyleSulkar yeah i hope so bro thanks 😎
@@TheYoungAze Let me know when you do bro!
@@KyleSulkar will do 😎
@@christopher-gardner sold it brother
Bro is that jacket LOL
Thank you 👌🏽
Really nice car, just curious how you can afford such an expensive car? I hope to own one in the future.
Competition wheels are sexy af
Johnny Jouha Agreed!
i did about 18k in my first year with my bmw
Ziich That’s awesome!
Why would you get a manual when it is much slower and a hassle during heavy traffic?
Agreed my friend! DCT is the best option on for this car IMO- but to each their own
I love the manual in my M4. Still plenty fast for the street and the fun factor on track can't be beat. I don't even mind it in traffic. But everyone has their preference, and it's great to have choices!
Who buys this not manual? Cool I paddle shift for about 15 minutes. Fun is gone. Traffic? What like 5% of all the driving a do in a year?
The only reason--as in the single reason--I have my F80 M3 is because it is a manual.
"much slower" For what purpose? Getting magazine and youtube video acceleration numbers? That's a fantasy world.
SMG not a good gearbox? Guess we all have our own opinions
Alexander Granados I prefer the manual personally! But you are right, we all do. The overall daily usage and reliability factor is more what I’m hitting on here - and for that I think the smg is a bit more problematic/clunky vs. a manual or dct. (In my opinion) still great either way considering what it’s attached to!
Kyle Sulkar oh for sure the SMG doesn’t even compare to the DCT. The DCT is amazing and what I’ll be upgrading to from my e46 M3. I’ve never had any issues with my SMG and it’s amazes me how fast it shifts and tbh I love everything about it. If you take care of it nothing will happen (assuming you have the LCI) I daily my M3 and that’s actually the reason I went with this transmission it’s just a plus that I can beat cars a manual E46 can’t
Alexander Granados I’m happy to hear your car is treating you well my man! The e46 m3 is one of my favorite cars of all time (if you can’t tell by some of my vids lol) - enjoy it my friend!
Genesis G70?
J L I can see the similarities! I’d have to imagine the m3 drives incredibly better though...could be wrong
What if you stole one and kept it for years would it depreciate in value if it had stupid lowiles
Questionable idea
Im going to get one of these, and unlike wussies I will get a manual, but first I'll have to pay off the house 👍
Abdiassis Ahmed try DCT & own a manual car too. I promise
Good decision to pay off the house first before getting a new vehicle. I might take your advice however I have 28 years of house payment left, not sure I can wait that long.
Automatics are for wussies and I'm a REAL driver and I am one with the machine. After I drive I shove the shifter up my ass because my machine and I are one.

@@KyleSulkar Agreed. I've also has both, dct is on another level of better.
I’m looking into buying four seater car that has modern technology in it and nice interior can you help me find one for cheap please
Sure thing- shoot me a DM on Instagram
Kia stinger
@@bilalkadri2797 I’d still go m3, just an older year if you want cheaper- but to each their own.
@@KyleSulkar I understand but for the price of a e90 m3 you can get a stinger gt + it'll come with latest tech. Ironically I'm trading my stinger for e90 m3 in the coming week. Lmao
I heard that f80s are pretty reliable tho!
They definitely are! 22k miles in and I’m super happy with the ownership experience. 2 oil changes is about all its required thus far
That’s good bro! Nice car too I want one but I need a 6 speed tho
Would you get an extended warranty? I am looking at 2017s.
Really?! 11k miles. My coffee is still warm Batman. That said, after 10 years of ownership. Come back and tell us if the M3 was still a good choice.
jdm2DTOP lol, it has 21k miles now. I’ve owned m3’s for the past 6 years and put a couple hundred thousand miles on all of them combined. Have been happy with all of them, but I’m definitely bias- so I wanted to update my other slightly bias friends as well. Thank you for watching!
jdm2DTOP I’m always open to feedback and really appreciate your comment! Will keep everyone updated with the whole ownership process to ensure it’s accurately documented but so far, so good! Thank you very much for the kind words! Slowly working on improving with each video. And thank you for watching!
I know how it works, how is it to live with?
Great car to live with.
uh....uhh.....uhhh...uhhhh. other wise good video :P
Thank you for the kind words! And you're right lol. Working on stopping that with every new video!
“sub-sequential manual gearbox” you mean sequential.. also that was only for one of the five m3s (e46). E92 which followed was offered in dct and ones prior to e46 were not offered w smg
Saeed Ghods yep, I misspoke. Was speaking to anyone who’s coming from my multiple e46 videos on the channel. Thank you for the comment! You are 110% right
E36 had SMG I and E46 has SMG II so they were offered with SMG before the e46 ;)
@@UndeadCrook In the US, e36's only had a traditional automatic. SMG I was in the early model e46 M3's and SMG II was introduced after that for the late LCI models
Nice car but I think the Guilia q beats it in almost every department (I went from an m2 to a giulia q and test drive m3 and m4 ) but the m3 is great and better looking than n m4 (my opinion)
remcosol glad to hear you found the best car for your needs! I haven’t driven the guilia Q, so it’s very possible that it’s the better option. I’m a Bmw fanboy at heart, so it would definitely be hard. Agree on the m3 being the better looking of the two when considering 3 vs. 4!
Kyle Sulkar
M cars are great ! Really curious to see what the new m3 will be like
What do you do for a living v
I run a digital marketing agency in the Chicagoland area. More videos to come on my channel!
Kyle Sulkar would love to build my own marketing agency one day any tips?
Edgar coral That’s awesome Edgar! I’ve got a video on my channel of a general basis of starting one- but will be posting a lot more info on it as well as hosting some free training calls & a step by step program very soon. I want to give as much away as possible to help others build something awesome they can do full time or on the side. Would love to send you over the info once it’s finished!
Edgar coral Some tips to start would be:
Offer maximum value to a client by learning basic content creation skills (photo/video)
Learn fundamentals of running ads on both Facebook and Instagram
Use these newfound skills to get your first client and build momentum
Re address your positives and negatives from the first clients experience and industry and use this to find the perfect “niche” market you can work towards building your agency around!
Hope this helps provide a bit of insight

Kyle Sulkar I would most definitely be watching your videos but I have so many questions to ask you. As a young starting entrepreneur any advice helps
Just by the chrome grilles I already could tell he didn’t appreciate it as much
Watch the new video I just posted ..... lol
beautiful car I must say Germans were always known for making very beautiful things. cars are beautiful and the ww2 military uniforms wear beautiful. I think the m3 BMW is my fave model of BMW i prefer the 2000 - 2005 model though.
The e46 m3 is hard to beat! It’s definitely an all time favorite of mine as well
@@KyleSulkar nice always a cool car to look at
Do not buy bmw if you cannot handle the cost of repair and maintenance. I love BMW but boy do they cost $$$$$ lol this goes for any new bmw buyer looking to own brand new one from dealer.
Charlie Lozoya I agree with you! Repair costs are a huge factor on these cars. Often times, the heavily depreciated cars are available at easy to enter prices and people don’t realize what other expenses are involved
I cant agree with that. My BMW has a 4 year 50k mile service warranty from the factory and I have spent $0 dollars on maintenance are service cost. Now after warranty may be a different story.
why didnt ypu pick a competition pack
I was planning to, but at the time- production was finishing up (or had finished) so the available vehicles were slim and the only comp models were optioned 10-15k more since they didn't JUST have the comp package. Looking back, I would have loved to have had it because they come essentially "done" but as far as values go, I think my very lightly optioned car will hold up a bit better when it comes to the initial MSRP depreciation.
what radar detector do you have?
Alex passport max 360
how did you wire it under the mirror
@@alexbylina For the f80 chassis, you can tap into the windshield sensors power by ordering a set from amazon- most all cars can tap into either this power or the sunroof- this way the radar turns on/off with the vehicle
Kyle Sulkar Ok sweet so you have a link for the product on amazon
@@alexbylina Here's what I used! Should work with most cars - www.amazon.com/Radar-Mount-Detector-Hardwire-3005201U/dp/B078939GZ2/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?keywords=f80+hardwire+radar&qid=1562877541&s=gateway&sr=8-4-spons&psc=1
Previous M3 made 420hp
Christian Andolini the previous generation made 414 horsepower (in US measurement)
414 hp multiplied by 1.0139 equals 419.75 hp (European).
Kyle Sulkar Its Eu Car everyone knews as 420hp Boss
Christian Andolini Agreed, but in the US, it’s 414. Just a measurement conversion.
416
Hate to be that guy but. Erm…is it a good daily? 😂 because you literally didn’t tell us
Yes 😂
Good question! Haha
I got a M3P After an M4. Much better kick bmw ass easy.... fast as fuck
Yes!
Well the sedan spec definitely wasnt a good fuckin choice lmao
11k just be a big deal cause every 10k it gets closer to death 🤣
I put 74k miles on my suv in less than 8 months of owning it. Random thought
Kay Jay That’s awesome!
The fuck? You daily driving to work 4 hours a day or something?
