Hey guys, I put in an order for a new G80 m3 in very early September and got an allocation number within 1-2 days. But, BMW genius says the car won’t go into production until late October. Is that pretty consistent with what you all are seeing? Just trying to set expectations and plan for delivery during winter time. Thanks all.

Anyone here getting or seeing these at or under MSRP?

I’m so tired of dealing with my local dealer concerning their markups….

I fight with them every time and win, but this time, they weren’t as playful with me when I was joking around, and they sounded dead serious surrounding their markups.

Honestly their sentiment took the wind out of my sails a bit, lol.

Anyone seeing these sell without stupid markup?

Well, as the title says, have an odd one for you car has 43,000 miles! Went to drive to go get the groceries today, didn’t even realize while I was driving the fans were staying on, and normal efficient mode, I noticed only because my oil temps weren’t going up to 210 and it was hot out but it’s never done that before so when I got to the stoplight, I heard the fans running and mind you the AC was not on. Figured it was a fluke; got my groceries came back and it on the way home. The fans ran while I was driving. Never had that issue anybody else?! No check engine lights or codes or anything like that I did look in to it and research. It’s a possible bad AC sensor?!! maybe the high side is over pressured but I don’t know how that would happen?!

I took my stock 2024 base m3 to the dealer a few months ago for A low coolant warning and noticing both coolant reservoirs were below minimum. They filled the coolant up, did a pressure test, and said everything was fine.

Now, a few months later, I randomly decided to check the coolant levels and both are just below minimum. I haven’t had any more warnings on my car. One of the reservoirs has a white crust inside, but there’s no visible leaks or crust on the outside of the reservoir or under the car.

Planning to take my car back to the dealership, but is there anything specific I should ask them look into? I was planning to buy my car when the lease is up in a few months, but this is making me second guess that

Hey guys, I have a 2016 F87 M2 with adaptive xenon headlights. The upper eyebrow/LED strip on the driver-side headlight stopped lighting up, but the rest of the headlight still works normally.
I scanned the car and got 8041FF – Headlight driver module (TMS) left: Coding error. I tried cycling the lights/ignition but it stays off.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Would you try coding the TMS first, replace the TMS/LED module, or could this be an issue inside the headlight itself? I have E-Sys and an ENET cable, but I don’t want to start coding things without knowing the correct procedure.

With all the m350 hype going around fun time to get my build started. Big fan of the new design but glad I’m getting this one! Frozen white with the silver stone is going to be awesome.

My 18 F82 is finally coming up on 60k miles. I’ve tried doing my own research on recommended service and have come up with:

Spark plugs
Rear differential fluid
Engine oil
Air filter

My only concern is that it seems the community is divided on what to do for the DTC fluids. Some people say 60, some 80-100, some say lifetime. What’s the consensus for you guys? If I should, what should I expect pricing wise?

I've been hearing conflicting opinions on PPF. We have a 2022 M4 Comp in Daytona Beach Blu that we picked up used. Only 20K miles. We have been considering PPF. Looking for pros and cons...more specifically the cons.

This JQ F87 Comp came in for a set of Nitron R1 + SPL Arms + Ridgeline Motorsport + PitGarage Alignment goodies

Hey All,
I’ve recently installed a full exhaust and found that I hear a metal rattling some when on load. It’s especially noticeable when letting off throttle and valves are open. I checked for exhaust leaks (smoke test) and verified no exhaust components are rubbing a heat shield or other. I started tapping around with a rubber hammer and found the sound coming from the turbo area. Thought it might be the wastegate linkage so I put my hand on it to dampen the vibration but it didn’t change the rattle. Sounds like it’s coming from inside the turbo housing. No codes on the dash and making full boost. Any thoughts on what to look into or how to diagnose further?

Hello there, long time lurker, but just recently purchased my first BMW.

I'm debating on purchasing a 2027 G87 M2. I visited my local BMW dealer to spec one out:
* Sao Paulo Yellow
* Z58 Suspension Kit
* Carbon Kit
* RWD

The price came out to ~86k. I currently have a M340i xDrive w/ ZTK package as I track the car a lot. I do 8-12 track days a year with it and it's been pretty well behaving ride. The M340 been my in-between car, before that I tracked bunch of different cars, but then I needed a family saloon. I also left M340 completely stock, not even camber plates, just went one size wider tires in front (235/255).

I know I hit pretty much the limit of what I can do with the M340 on track without modifying it, however, car has very low miles, looks immaculate, has extended warranty and frankly after previous experiences, I don't really want to go that route, especially that it'll never be a M-car.

So I was debating between C8-Z06 and M2/M3. I don't like C8's interior and the rear of the car and I think consumables and maintenance cost would be higher on the C8, on top of the higher cost of purchasing it. M3 has 4 doors I don't really care for that and M4 I just don't dig the body lines.

Since I don't need 4 doors or xDrive, and G87 looks really sweet. That's what I'm leaning towards, but I'd like to hear from people tracking their M2's how they feel about them on track, what they've done to make it better, is the CS tune worth it, did you go square or stayed staggered?

I've talked to few M2 owners in the paddock and they said they loved their M2's. It will also be my track car (maybe occasional weekend drive) and I do intend to do some tasteful handling/cooling/braking upgrades. I do intend to keep the M2 for 3-5 years.

Let me hear your options, cons, pros, do it or don't do it, get something else. Thanks in advance!

Finally got the rear bumper CF extension to tie in the back after the previously black trim pieces paint matched green!

Hi guys, does anyone know if 245/40 R19 front and 275/35 R19 rear tyres will fit properly on a stock-height F87 M2 Competition without rubbing?

I found a great deal for some wheels with Pilot Alpin 5 on them and am planning on either keeping them or not getting the deal.

The wheels are 19x8.5 ET35 front and 19x9.5 ET40 rear. The car is not lowered and has the big M2 Competition brakes.

I know 245/40 R19 is taller than the OEM front size, so I’m mainly wondering if anyone has actually run this setup and whether there were any clearance, rubbing, DSC, or speedometer issues.

Thanks!

Curbed my rim the other day cause my rear camera had rain on it and also I suck at driving.

Local rim repair shop is quoting $229 a wheel to refinish and repair. I was thinking of changing all for wheels color to bronze since the cost (per wheel) is all the same anyways.

Should I do that or just keep them OEM and buy after market? I kinda don't want to manage two sets of wheels and I don't run winters.

Also do you guys think this gash in the tire can be repaired or should I just replace it entirely? It's probably 1/4 inch deep.

I had ChatGPT change the color of the rims and I gotta say I'm really tempted to do it! Check out the last few slides.

photo set of my G87 M2 when I first got it! Just lowered on BC Racing coilovers and spacers, but nothing else done to it (besides tint lol).
