Anyone race a g8x yet?
So i raced a g80 comp today and was kind of surprised by the results
My car (18 F82) is stage 1 tune with a midpipe and intakes We did 40 rolls and g80 didnt really get pulled on up until like 100 At the same time i can sometimes go almost neck to neck with some stock hellcats Got me wondering how fast the G8X platform will be |

Having owned a G82 for awhile, I can tell you they are fast. It doesn't surprise me in the least there wasn't much between your stage 1 tuned car and a stock G80. Going from my 18 Comp M4, there was a "whoo ahh" moment the first time I mashed the gas on an onramp in my G82 Comp. It was a very noticeable difference with the G82 obviously being faster.
Now that I'm back in an F80 non-Comp, the lack of thrust is definitely noticeable. It's not a big deal though, who really cares. I enjoy driving around the F80 a lot more than the G82, it's putting more smiles per mile on my face than weeks of driving the G82 did. The F80 also feels like it's half the size of the G82, it's like I'm in a go-kart again. The G8x does a great job of masking it's weight, but it still feels like a big car. G8x is fast, there's no doubt about it. But to me, that was all it had going for it. |

Do you have an in depth comparison posted anywhere? If not, would really be interested if you had the time to write one up. I don't know why but my mind is still kind of blown you went back to an F generation car so quickly. The new car isn't cheap by any means.

You'll need to search for my name to find the posts. All posts about ownership are on/after 6/26/21. Here was my first post on it: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....#post27742640 You can search the thread for my name and see the posts, they're scattered throughout as it's a very long thread. Thanks. TL-DR notes: Car is very, very fast. It hides the weight very well, and the carbon bucket seats are the nicest seats I've ever sat in. The interior is an upgrade, but I wound up absolutely despising the digital dash as it was difficult for me to know what rpms I was at (unlike the dial guages in F8x). However, the car cannot outrun the ugly and I was simply never able to like a single angle of the car. It also feels big, and being in an F80 now the car feels like a go-kart in comparison. The DCT is also far better than the ZF8. I never should have made the switch, but it's ok because now I know and no longer have to wonder what if. Also, the G82 received almost NO attention from people. Very few looks, comments, etc. Young people knew what the car was much more than middle aged/older, honestly I felt invisible in the car as compared to my prior F82s (that car was a rolling rock star). My experience with the G82 is that it failed in BMWs attempt to be bold and distinct. People just didn't care about the car at all. Last edited by NickyC; 08-10-2021 at 08:57 AM.. |

Edit - I realized I was actually talking about the Stryker Red, not Candy Apple and said the wrong color. |
