What’s new for 2024?
Well this is actually technically a 2023
Which was the update year with new interior and tech
But the reality is that there wasn’t a change to the Comp for 24
24 adds the M3 CS though…but that’s a different video
For 24 the M4 gets a facelift though
Engine
S58 3.0 I6
503 hp
479 lbft
0-60 in under 3.5 in real world
Just STUPID fast
18 mpg combined if you care
Seems accurate
Drivetrain
All comps get the ZF 8 speed auto
Manual can only be had in the base car
xDrive
This G80 was the first M3 to get AWD
Interestingly this is a strut front car
Multilink rear of course
LSD
Adaptive shocks
EPS rack…which is yucky
Brake by wire..sport or not sport braking
Brakes
Speaking of brakes these are carbon ceramic
Gold callipers look amazing with this spec
$8500
On track amazing, not going to track skip em
Tires are PS4S
Styling
I was really interested to see next to my car
This looks NOTICEABLY different side by side
Frozen brilliant white….every day i like it more and more
3600
Sadie’s take - white is the only acceptable matte color
You’re got the embellished hood
Anniversary badges are free for 23s
love
The exaggerated grille
This M3 gets the laser headlights…WANT
1000
Around the side you’ve got the COMP wheels
19 front 20s back
M3 front gill detail
M wing mirrors
Carbon fiber roof cuz race car
And then SUPER flared hips
See rear door
Subtle lip spoiler
Badging
Elaborate diffuser and Quad tips
Whos exhaust sounds better
Trunk
Not powered cuz weight savings
Great and practical space though
13 cuft…feels bigger
Seats fold from trunk ONLY
So common we see they don't fold from trunk
Rear seats
Totally usable for 6 footers
Rear climate zone and vents
USBcs
Fjord Blue
2550
Just like what we had in LA with the M4
Make WAY more sense here lol great spec
Front seats
Fjord Blue again
Seats unique to M3/4
Light up logos
Heated AND cooled
Cooled is 350$ - totally worth it
No heated steering wheel on this one
I prefer these to the carbon buckets we had in the M4 comp
Interior design
iDreive 8 update for 2023
So fewer buttons but looks nice
Love the carbon fiber in dash, center console
Carbon fiber steering wheel
M1 & M2
Carbon fiber paddles with red rubber backs
Ergonomics are great
Ambient light is great - got my Coral
Tech
Weird omission of HUD
Full digital cluster with loads of customizability
Centere screen is huge and great
Wireless ACP
Adaptive content
360 cameras
Reverse assist
HK audio is pretty good
M Stuff
M shifter
M Steering wheel
Setup screen
M Mode button
Track kills center screen and shows tire temps
Loud exhaust mode
Drift analyzer
Safety suite
Pretty comprehensive for such a serious car
Turn signal auto lane change
Driving assist pro - 1700
Odds & Ends
M logo on lower wishbone
Key isnt as cool as mine
Price
Starts at 80k
As tested 105k
