    Default E90 M3 Vs F80 M3

    Somebody over at m3post posted a really nice comparison between the F80 M3 and the E90 M3.

    I personally have an E92 M3 and I do not plan on upgrading to an F82 M4 but it does look quite impressive and sounds a lot better than anticipated.

    Cheers.

    werd, I had the option of waiting for the F80 when my 335i was totaled or getting behind a e92 m3 at an almost fire sale price. In the end I chose the e92 M3 as it has that nice v8 growl, and not to mention it's the first and potentially last v8 m3 with the way things are going.

    That being said, I do believe the e92 is a more analog car in comparison with the F80 in the sense of driver aids etc. I've personally never driven an F80 but I imagine the driving dynamics on that car would be "softer" than the current e92.. that or i'm just biased

    I really love the new interior and the C63 style 1 piece seats. The white/red combo is pretty killer. Not entirely convinced of the exterior though.. It looks mean and aggressive but it isn't 'pretty' like the E90 is. Especially the front bumper, which I feel is just too busy. It's like the E90 is the really hot chick who looks awesome without makeup, while new one is the so-so chick who needs a ton of make up to make her look good.

    Otherwise seems like a solid car but to me, but at the end of the day, the E90 sedan with it's NA V8 and coupe face would be my choice.

    The F80 M3's sound like shit. They were revving it when introducing it in Detroit and it sounded like ass.

    Analog cars doesn't exist anymore. I wouldn't call a E9x analog by any stretch.

    Haha this is true.. Even after disabling all nannies AND assuming your car is 6MT, you still have ABS and throttle-by-wire, among whatever else.

    I'll assume that the new M3 sounds better INSIDE the cabin with the engine note blaring in the speakers LOL.

    M3's have always been one of my favorite cars but I am just not as impressed with them anymore. The last gen M3 took like 3 years to grow on me and I don't know how long the current generation will take.

    The new F80 M3 is light years ahead of E90 M3

    But there is always a trend of people hating on the new F80 M3 especially the ones that currently owns the E9X M3

    I feel exactly the same. I don't know what it is. I think maybe they've become to expensive and complicated. The 1M and new 235M or whatever it's called seem more interesting.

    The E9X M3 never grew on me at all. The last M3 I loved was the E36 M3, and maybe the E46 M3 because of SMG. And I owned a E46 M3 too haha.

    I think a big part of why the E9X didn't work for me is because I'm Chinese, and in Canada, the value for the dollar is terrible. If I lived in the US, where it's priced significantly cheaper, I may have liked the E9X M3 more.

    As for the F80, the sound is terrible. The only good thing the E9X had was exhaust note. A neighbor of mine has one, and it sounds awesome when he rips by, or when he's free revving it showing off to friends. The F80 really sounds like shit in comparison.

    It's funny how bad the F80 sounds in comparison to the E36 / E46. You'd think all straight 6s would sound similar.

    Not when they're muffled by a turbine.

    rage2's E46 HPF sounded fine. Nothing like the shit F80 sound.

    I think the only M3 I really liked and when they became my favorite cars were when E46 M3's were around. After that, it went downhill for me. When I was shopping for my AMG car, I didn't even think twice about a M3 for some reason. I find that so weird considering for like 5 years in my teens and growing up, all I could think about was that I want a M3 one day. lol.

    And I would get a E46 M3 as a side fun car now, but I don't even think it'll feel much fun after owning the C63.

    Have you ever test driven an E9X M3? Hard to beat that car in terms of pure driving enjoyment. I prefer the DCT over manual but that's because I like autos better in general now.

    BTW cold start on a V8 M3

    Days of loud cars are numbered. That's why you see new cars that are quieter outside than inside now. Soundakators gallore in the future.

    Cold start on any V8 AMG > E9X M3

    The limit for standard cars will be reduced to 68 db in 12 years, from the current level of 74 db. More powerful vehicles will be allowed a margin of one to nine extra decibels.
    I'll just keep buying monster V8s to get sound.

    Try to avoid the Rage2 Bandwagon guys lol. Listen to the car under load at WOT and the fun noises it makes in between shifts.

    The exhaust note of the AMG was like 60% of the reason why I bought the car. M3 is a great car and it sounds decent, but honestly it doesn't even come close to the note of the AMG. I may sound biased now, but I honestly felt that before I owned either of the cars.
