Hope you're all well, thanks for watching as always! ❤️
Thank you for the quality of your content❤️
Thanks for watching it!
Gotta turn that exhaust off, it's not nice to listen to as a viewer either Joe.
What do you think to an M4 as a daily? How efficient are they compared with an M440i for example?
Really enjoying your content fella, thanks.
orange calipers would be so sick, matching the interior. Hope to see alot more videos on the M3 and M2
Love your content, but get a real sports car - Lotus Exige/Elise/Evora
As always, such a classy, detailed, stylish video…with a clear enthusiast’s flair, uniquely “Joe Achilles” which is what we’re here for! Love all the personalised touches you’ve done to this car to make it your own, especially the spacers and the new thinner steering wheel with the 12 o’clock marker in orange. I, too, would code-out the fake exhaust noise!
Thank you very much, very kind words 👊❤️👌
Is the fake noise that distracting?
@@busisanizzulu9267 It's irritating. I coded it out of my X3M but the car was too quiet (OPF's) so put it back on. Don't need the fake noise on non OPF cars (US + Canada).
Just a massive shout out to you for staying true to who you are and legit killing it. Love it dude!
Thanks guys, same to be said for you two 🙌❤️👊
Those open Spanish roads with such a magnificent spec G80 - The dream
One day brother, you would LOVE a Petrolhead Tours trip 🙌
Some of which were portuguese…. Vila do bispo!
You should review your geographie
I remember when you got that m2
Bruv!!!
@@JoeAchilles1 how is the low down torque on the rs4? comparable to m340i or even m340d? thanks
Joe you are so underrated. You deserve far more subscribers and likes.
Such quality journalism, and you can obviously handle yourself around a track. Well done on another entertaining and informative video!
Great, honest review as always. Cheers, Joe!
The car looks awesome Joe,have a great time and keep living the dream!
Cheers man 👊
Another great watch @joeachilles! Can't wait for your @petrolheadtours full video!
Great video as always Joe, and you're right your M3 is a stunner in every aspect.
What an amazing car. The petrolhead tours always look incredible!
Been watching for ages, glad you got the m3 as it was always the next logical step in my mind for your next car 😂
Thank you ❤️
Brilliant video Joe! I'm impressed you managed to fit this in during your rest day on tour, bravo mate, glad to see you are still loving the car.
Thanks buddy! Yeah Lou and I sat an optional 3 hour afternoon out so I could (rush) film this instead 👊👌
Fantastic review and video as always Joe!
Great Review Joe…with great impute & feedback…3.5ks already?…you are not messing about mate…speaks volumes though of how much you are enjoying being behind the wheel!! Good for you!! Can’t wait the tours video…best 19 minutes video for the day👊🏾 Thanks for sharing your experience!!
Straight fire, love this spec! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 😊
the front end looks better in the metal than in those first pictures, great car, even better review - thanks for sharing this - RB
I’ve been following your M3 journey since the beginning as I ordered my M4 Comp about the same time as you ordered the M3. Traded my M2 (which I loved) for this. I’ve had mine for about 3 weeks now and had the 2000 km service done today. One amazing machine. Super super impressive. Love everything about it. Like your steering wheel. I’m thinking about an exhaust too.
Man, Joe’s a stand up guy. Great review mate, keep em coming!!
Great clip Joe. Appreciate your honesty 👍
Fabulous car, great presentation. Pure class from start to finish 👍🏼
Always watch your videos all the way from south africa keep up the good work Joe
That interior is absolutely stunning!!
Fantastic car Joe and great review. Appreciate how honest you were regarding the steering and gearbox. I haven’t driven one but understand what you mean from my old M140.
Fantastic review Joe. Honest and balanced. Looks stunning over in Spain. Looking forward to the PHT vid dropping 👍
Cheers man, wad the most incredible trip 👌
Your new M3 is gorgeous, i’m in love of that
Great review Joe!
Hey Joe. Awesome video! Got my M3 Comp in March…it was the first and only one they had in the Washington DC area. Couldn’t pass it up! Love everything about it and wouldn’t trade it for anything! See you in your next video!
Damn im such a fan of these type of videos!
Fantastic Joe. I love your honesty. I do think it looks and sounds great though.👍 Happy motoring 👍
What a beautiful car, stunning scenery. Very honest review, a car you most obviously love. 👍
Really interesting to watch your 2 pence on the car in this tbh! Was amazingly to the ground considering you own one, also nice to see the driving outro is back in true form ;)
Beautiful car. Great review. Lovely setting Congrats.
I’ve fallen in love with this car saw one in person for the first time yesterday and was Stunned
Love the number plates. Nice work
Wicked video Joe
Great vid, as per!!
Great video. Definitely have the active sound coded out!!!
Great car - great spec - great roads - what more could you want Joe? Well done and keep up with the great channel - thanks!😀👍
Thanks buddy 👊👌❤️
Great car and comprehensive review
It was fantastic to meet you in person and see the M3 in action… wahey! #bananaskins can’t wait to see the PHT video
so satisfying when you see a car youtuber who knows what theyre doing on track
Great as always mate, just to let you know that this week we had the first good news in 9 months, that my wife’s cancer hasn’t spread and we now move on to the next stage, we still have a long way to go but it was positive, so today i paid the balance on our holiday trip down to st ives so i little road trip for us, in my 335d tourer which i love but just thinking about changing for the 340d 🙏👍
Another great video! Did you notice the suspension tweaks you had done up in Knutsford?
Great video 👍👍 You just make me wonder if you have script prior to the filming or not. Cuz it feels like you don't but all the points are delivered so smooth and detailed.
It does look amazing Joe. I saw a silver version in central London last week, that rear end is cartoon like! 👍
Another amazing video Joe. Thank you again.
Cheers Peter! Hope you and the family are well ❤️
Thank you for keeping it real Joe!
@@JoeAchilles1 all good here Joe. Back in lockdown though for a few days. Gives me time to cook and catch up on your videos! Enjoy your time away mate.
Great video and looks like a great road trip. Nice spec on this car Joe, still not loving the front end style or even the rear arches as much as those on the F80.
Great assessment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome video as always mate…thanks for sharing, hope you are keeping well 👍
Thank you Alex, all good aside from having to quarantine back in the UK 😂👌
@@JoeAchilles1 mate I hear you! I actually just got the vaccine today but still need to quarantine anyway 🤦♂️
Ah well, keep up the good work brother 👍
Love the honesty of your review despite the fact you’re a BMW fanboy!
Lovely car Joe - I feel jealous. Lol. I bought BMW M140i after watching your videos over 2 years ago. I wish you the best. Keep up the good work.
Those roads 😍😍 and what a car to drive them... Another great video buddy, I'll ignore your negative comments hahahaha
It's a terrific car! 😍
Well done joe,its refreshing to see someone buy a nice car and actually use it and put a few miles on the clock aswell as on the track,basically behaving like a normal person with there dream car,,lots of other "channels" won't mention any names🤭😂 seem to just like showing off what they own,are having done or buying next without ever really driving anything they own!
Love the colour outside and in. On a boring point what do you think the orange interior does for resale? Another great video 👏👏👏
That orange interior - stunning.
Love the combined twin vids Spain and Goodwood, looking very good and importantly FAST❗🏎💨⚡
Great to hear thank you 👌
@@JoeAchilles1 ur welcome❗
Thanks for your honest review!! What is a better long trip car the Alpina G80 D3S or G80 M3?
Joe, great video 👌 please add drone shots on your future videos. Would love to see your M3 cruising those roads.
Great insights as always Joe, thanks.
It’s a shame to hear about the lack of guts low down, I would have guessed the S58 would have been MORE ballsy than the B58 but maybe the turbos are too big for quick spool? 🤷🏻♂️
With regards to the ZF8, with the likes of xHP tcu software being so popular, you would have thought bmw M would have just made the stock software more hardcore.
For anyone open to these soft mods, most of the quirks you mention can be resolved, such as the TCU software, coding out the active sound which is off putting and remapping for earlier power delivery. Shame about the steering feel - not so easy to repair 😅🤷🏻♂️
Listening to the transmission comments, I have an M2 comp with a DCT and find it great. Under full throttle in sport plus the gear changes snap the car thus the changers are so fast. Most of the time in lazy mode, efficient, it’s smooth except the odd jerk from 4th to 3d.
Great video, Dct for the win 👍🏿👍🏿.
Kick-ass ride! 😎👍
Thank you 👌
Great video, great roads, great spec, great commentary Joe but I cant get over that grill, such a shame as the normal 3 series is pretty... rest of the car looks great
My Portimao Blue on Kyalami Orange AWD G80 is in the paint booth as you posted this video. I went for AWD to experience something new from BMW ///M and to make sure I don't spin the wheels every time I floor it at 40mph or less. The RWD G80 appears to have good traction with new tires but we've seen videos where it spins more than others depending on conditions, and I'm not talking about wet/rainy days!
Thanks for indirectly confirming that the F80 remains the "better" driver's car. I took my 2018 comp to Brands Hatch yesterday and it was epic with the PS4s on. Amazing grip, fantastic feedback & steering and unlimited torque. I'm feeling slightly jealous for the comfort levels of the new one, especially as I will be driving myself and the family Cambridge-Elafonisos(Greece via the Balkans) next month but frankly even in sport plus I feel that the car is comfy enough and I suffer from mild sciatica. The only thing that bothers me a bit in the F80 is the tyre noise on bad tarmac. I will be putting some 3M thinsulate on boot, archwells, floor to begin with and if not enough I might put some on the doors and roof as well. If that doesn't do the trick I will be using 18'' wheels for my winter setup and that should sort it out.
Also have not seen any G80's with extended leather on the dash, I tried the BMW configurator the other day and it seems that if one goes for Carbon seats or the Ultimate Pack then the extended leather is not available! What's that all about? Audi and BMW cheapening out on the leather dash is a bit frustrating on this category I believe as it really uplifts the interior. Anyhoo, enjoy your Euro-trip.
Thanks for the amazing content mate, always a pleasure to watch your no-nonsense videos. First class!
Totally agree with all this. I had to have full merino dash on my F82 as, otherwise, the interior just didn’t feel special enough for a car at this price.
I got used to the noise but, after spending any time in a “normal” car always reset my expectations such that getting back into the F82 then felt very noisy. I hope some sound deadening helps. Regardless, I absolutely loved my M4, it had real character and was a blast to drive (if a little scary in the wet). Still miss it!
Great Report from Sunny Spain 👍👍😎
Beautiful place ❤️
The car looks fire in the thumbnail.
Yeah Adrian nailed the thumbnail 👌
Maybe a lot of the initial press photos were shooting the grille too low and too straight on...cuz slightly elevated angle front 3/4 oh yes....
Hello Joe, loved your review of the car. What are your thoughts on the carbon fiber bucket seat? I plan on ordering mine with them, but worry about the daily comfortability. Thank you
Epic video 👍
Thank you Lee
I just discovered your channel and am thoroughly enjoying the content! I'm happy to hear you still love the seating position. In your 1st look video you indicated that you're 6'4" tall. Do you mind sharing how much you weigh or your trouser measurements? I'm waiting for my allocation and am conflicted about the seats, since I'm a large human. Thanks!
Thanks Joe, just wondering how the ride quality of the M3 compares to an M2? M2 or M3 which is better?
watching all the way from South Africa. the roads and the scenery, you'd think you're in LA or somewhere in South Africa... nice
love the pictures of the m3 en España, my country!
Great review as always. I got my M4C tanzanite with kayalami orange after seeing one of your videos when you were placing your order. I think it was a good choice to change the colour. The portimao looks more lively than tanzanite which is a bit too close to BSM in my view. What exhaust options are you considering? I think in addition to all the negatives you mentioned, I feel lack of an exhaust note is a real letdown. I coded the asd out on bimmercode but its still there. My previous 440i with MPPSK sounded glorious and I miss it. :(
Great video man! How much difference does the suspension improvements make? vs the stock setup? Cheers mate! Hope you enjoyed the roads of my country!
Hi Joe questions, do the areas that have had PPF applied had less of a gloss finish to those panels which have been ceramic coated? And is this noticeable? Btw nice colour!
Joe I love your videos SUGGESTION: please as a matter of course add a googlemaps link to the locations of all your drives: Uk, spain, tracks, wherever. Lots of us who watch your channel are drivers and are always seeking another interesting road. Thanks! Keep up the good work.
Hi Joe, loving the content as always. I have the 2021 X3MC (and a pillow until I install the MSS springs 🤣🤣). Now I might be mistaken but I'm sure I've seen in the options menu the ability to turn off the enhanced engine/ exhaust sound BMW pump in through the speakers whilst still being able to use the active sports exhaust.
😂😂😂😂 Legend re the pillow 🙌 Ohh that's interesting, I will have a look into that tomorrow 👌
You can turn off the fake noise in Efficient only - press the exhaust button in the centre console. In Sport and Sport+ fake noise is always on and the exhaust button opens the valves in the exhausts.
Bimmercode allows you to code it out.
What nice Video !!!
Lovely Lovely Motor 🥰 P.S great content btw
Thank you and thank you 👌
Absolutely cracking car
Great video. I disagree with on the gear box but I totally agree on the steering. The steering kind of sucks. BMW is replacing my steering column so I hope that helps.
What mode do you prefer driving the car in?
"So in my new"
Dreams do come true :)
Planning on getting the m3 comp in xdrive as my DD and getting a gt4 in a year or two as my special weekend car
Joe, I’ll take the XDrive Competition. The competition pulls on a base 911 992, but it doesn’t beat it out of the hole. Second, theyve already made 1,080hp and 1,200nm on a stock bottom end S58. Stock turbos on the s58 and a jb4 already netting 650whp. This is going to be the standard for people that want to tune them, especially since the s58 bottom end is completely forged. Including Mahle forged pistons from the factory. We also have to remember that, in America, they don’t run the AWD cars on the rollers for emissions testing. Great review. Your car looks amazing. 🙌🙌
In love with this spec. The day I buy an M3, I’d get it in this exact same interior and exterior spec. DDCoding offers XHP Gearbox map for BMW ZF’s and they do make a difference. My dads X5 40i gearbox is now so much more aggressive in sports mode thanks to the XHP map
Joe do review of upcoming M3 AWD and give us your professional advise, what's better traditional RWD or AWD M5 jnr
That was a smooth lap, I can't imagine anyone going faster.
Another great video as per usual mate. You highlighted exactly the reasons why I couldn’t trade my CS for the G8x. After test driving the G82 a while back, I felt so underwhelmed after coming out of my car. My car feels like a Gokart in comparison and so connected to the road. Let’s see what BMWM have in store for the new M3/M4CS. 😉
living the dream in an M3!
It's been a great few weeks 👌
Nice Video! Driving in my mother country Espana 😉I am waiting for when the M3 wagon is released in AUS... And move on from my original M135i.
Hey Joe!!!! I currently picked up a F80 M3 CS with the ceramics.. I had a MY17 Comp before jumping into the CS… I absolutely love the CS and it’s a large step up with performance I feel… How would you compare the F80 M3 CS vs Comp G80 M3 in your opinion…
Hi Joe, i really would like to have your opinion on how this G80 compares with the Giulia QV. I should buy one of them but i can't wrap my head around them. What do you think? thank you
Waiting for your comparison with an alpina b3! Enjoy your car in good health buddy!
Beautiful car Beautiful
Love the honest thoughts Joe. A wonderful car, and seems like a lovely place to rack up the miles... Makes me want to invest in a fun "weekender" to do what the X3 M40i (which I bought based on your review!) can't.
Like that the sunglasses match the interior too 😉
Cheers man, glad to hear you bought an X3 M40i, mega sporty SUV 👌👌👌
I just ordered my M4 last week, what is the color for yours? Is this Frozen Blue?
Joe, how comfortable are the seats on long journeys?
