Switching from F80?

Thelof · 11-29-2021, 08:08 PM

Anyone else moving from an M3/M4 to the G42? I've got a BSM fully spec'd on order. Just something to tide me over till the G87 comes out. Hoping this will make it a little easier to get an M2 allocation.

And for those who have switched and have your allocation, what are your impressions comparing the two platforms?

What are the technological differences that caught your attention?

I'm coming from an M2c & F80 M3. Currently driving a Model Y but shopping between the 240xdrive and the 2022 VW Golf R in manual.

I'm also thinking about getting the OG M2 as well.

My 2015 f80 felt dated and shows its age. The refreshing new look and that purple got me hooked. Apple car play, 360 camera, and live nav all neat features.

Patiently waiting right now for my car to be PDI at the dealer right now so I can take it !!!

K I can understand the desire for Apple CarPlay. It was the interior option I appreciated the most in my M2C over my m3.

Congrats on the new car. Looks amazing.
