Hey Calvin, as an M4 Competition owner, a few things: 1) The competition exhaust is 99% the same as the standard exhaust except the tips and a very slightly different backbox. The difference is mostly in the map. If anything, the comp exhaust is slightly quieter but with the burbles, pops and bangs turned up. (2018+ models are much quieter due to the opf filters so have a bigger backbox to compensate but still sound nothing like either of the older cars) 2) That deeper sound you referred to in the non-comp m4 is the active sound (the fake audio pumped through the speakers you can hear in the video), M4 Competitions had this turned down a bit and the later software updates turns them down a bit more (there's 4 levels you can set it to, older non-comps had this cranked all the way). Mine (2019) came set at one of the lower ones from factory. Just swapping the exhausts without mapping or coding doesn't make much difference if any. 3) The Competition has different suspension and steering settings and most of the differences between comp and non-comp are mostly software-related apart from the wheels, suspension and cosmetic differences. But it accounts for the difference the way they handle and put down power. You could get a lot of the improvements just from updating the software alone, including the GTS updates to the DCT gearbox.
That’s actually a very good review mate, I test drive both Comp and non pack car and ended buying the non Comp pack because strangely it’s power delivery made it feel quicker, the Comp pack was also noticeably harsher ride on U.K. roads. The non Comp feels much more old school m car that could kill you at every squeeze of the throttle. The Comp pack is more refined in its power delivery. I think over time more will realise the non Comp car is actually the better driver
Calvin, I don't know if you'll read this, but breaking down the spec like you did was amazing. I would like an M3 or M4 as an upgrade from my Golf R, and having a run down through the spec sheets and what options you can get (as well as showing them!) is really helpful. Thank you!
@@landlordfortenants3256 stage one golf was no quicker than my stock M140i. M3/4 is in a completely different league! My M140i did eventually have around 460bhp, which was just brutally quick.
Started watching your channel when it started and loved it ! Unfortunately Slowly losing the love due to the same old same old . Please go a bit left field with something old school 🙏🏻
This chanel use to be brilliant. It's now lost its way a bit I use to watch every Wednesday and Sunday I looked forward to them now I've got little Intrest
Hi Calvin , I bought my 2018 F80 M3 Competition in 2019, I traded a 2015 330d M Sport against it. The ride quality is rock hard even in comfort mode. It's wicked fast I haven't driven it much 7,000 miles on it as at March 2022 so it's effectively a new car still. My 330d had the Harmon Kardon hifi the F80 has the HK hifi too but it sounds way superior in the M3 for some reason. Thanks for the video !
Not seen many amg cars on your channel would love to see possibly in the future, But great channel i look forward to Wednesdays and Sundays keep it up 👍
Without abusing these cars but still enjoying them I'm sure people could get another 5 years out of them without any problems. and still get a decent resale value from trading in for another or selling. So great value for a HP customer but I wouldn't lease these.
I love yours videos, i love to watch it. I am big fan of BMW f80 M3. Maybe one day I'll have money so I can afford it I think the m3 competition looks best in British Racing Green / Brown Leather
Can’t afford either, but I’d go for the non competition pack clean HPI one every time, even if the black one wasn’t a CAT S, i still think id go for the white one because it’s better specced for day to day usage, I mean how often are you going to be able to use the comp upgrades to their full extent? A bog standard M3 is a weapon anyway...
Of the 2 I’d probably buy the black one, cat S or not.. black just looks more sleek and stylish, keep up the good content Calvin.. on another note.. what’s happened to POD website?
Cant believe you've never seen a full leather dash M3. I had YMB competition pack, full grey leather higher spec than your white F80 once you've had full leather you'll never not have it its admit £2.5k upgrade. Heads up and Harmon Kardon is a must
I defo want one but I hear the non comp power delivery is not as good as the comp and more likely to be more unpredictable with the back end, is it true ?
@@hamzahfayyaz4112 my uncle had one for a bit when they came out, fully speced one as it was owned by BMW, honestly will never get over how nice it was with all the options on

Nice comment mate really informational
Great comment
Cant beat lamens terms cheers!!
Best comment I’ve ever seen on RUclips, really informative thank you
Isn’t there also an updated electronically controlled LSD in the Comp to help put the power down better?
The f80 is my favorite. I think it will go down as the best m3 and best looking of all time.
F80 m3 is my dream car love them

You can code in non-comp m3 to GTS or comp specs.. cause everything is electric: transmission respond, suspention, steering wheel and so on.
Calvin mate. Love your content but you need to ditch the drunk camera man. Peace and love ✌🏼
Maybe a gimbal for the camera.
I like the way it's being recorded... I think you have too much time on your hands ... With your right hand being your best friend 😉
@@emilzaman9462and alsho hish lover
Hunchback of Notre Dame driving posture
Exterior of the Competition, interior of the competition in the new M3. Such a special car when you consider the new hybrid c63
Lush motors I’d have the white one ! What’s happening with the m3 touring project??
Got rid of my non comp M4 and got an RS5 instead which is a way better car much quicker and better interior and doesn’t brake your back
From what I understand, the diff, steering and damper settings are different. But it's software.
Also exhaust is very slightly different.
The white car looks more special . the wheels are almost the first mod.
You forgot to mention heated steering wheel extra option. Excellent content mate
Great energy and very informative video as I'm looking at getting into an F80 next. Hope you're doing well!
CEO award for BMW content goes to...
Keep up the brilliant work bro
Guys going fast, Rickies head tilts right, Calvins head goes down... LOL
Yh u gotta stop movin camera around and zoomin in and out every 2 secs
Love the red interior, plus prefer the white colour, it shows the lines of the car plus the carbon roof, also the non comp wheels are nicer IMHO
The active sounds makes it louder you can get it coded.
Quality video. No issues with it being about BMWs at all. What’s happening with the BMW M3 Touring Conversion? Not heard any mention for a while.
Ermmm. Feel free to harass Tony about that 😂👇

I just got one!! Amazing !
Another cracking video Calvin! Specs on both F80's are immense....
Thanks for this Calvin, tbh I think I'll get an E92 M3 rather than a F80. Need a V8 in my life! 😁
That one does sound noticeably deeper in car than most other f80s I’ve seen
Oooh nice interior in the white one. Another cool video Calvin 👍
Great reviews videos keep doing what your doing amazing content ! 👊🏻 cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Category S M3, to not feel bad about doing track days in. Assuming it was repaired correctly
What happened to your lotus carlton have you still got it
Sold it mate
I have an F80 competition, would NOT get one without it.. sorry fellas.. non-zcp is decent but the comp package is what it should be
Is there any 2018 m3 non comp in the UK or did BMW UK stop selling them?
Now for sale at BMW Stevenage
Camera work is fine, lot of negativity. It’s not a channel with the budget of the Grand tour. Keep the cameraman he done good
Calvin Get a M4 Convertible on the Channel 🔥🔥🔥
I love yours videos, i love to watch it.
I am big fan of BMW f80 M3.
Maybe one day I'll have money so I can afford it

Id probably get a non comp and spend the extra 3k on my own modifications
Unfortunately the Irish government is wrecking the motor industry in Ireland hitting these cars with massive taxes. So unfair!
Yeh it’s a joke VRT is ridiculous
@@simplyd8972 not to mention this new NOX charge
Mad someone specced that white M3 right up but didn't add HK audio
u have pink dots on your camera, sh*t my pants thinking I had dead pixels on my MacBook Pro lol
Maybe it's just me, but i dream of a base white F80 m3 with zero options, manual trans, cloth seats, and base 18 inch wheels.
My favorite car channel on youtube - dont understand why everybody is ripping on the camera man i like the new style 🤷🏽♂️ im waiting for sunday 🔥
The smudge on your lens is killing me
Good lad calv 🙌
The white one as category cars are a pain to insure!
The White car doesn’t have a M performance exhaust, the back box is a standard M3 box.
The internal sound is fake not the exhaust.
Of the 2 I’d probably buy the black one, cat S or not.. black just looks more sleek and stylish, keep up the good content Calvin.. on another note.. what’s happened to POD website?
I would buy the M3 love the extended leather and colour combo.
Can't wait for the mustang video always good content calvin
Any news on the M3 touring build Calvin?
Cant believe you've never seen a full leather dash M3.
I had YMB competition pack, full grey leather higher spec than your white F80 once you've had full leather you'll never not have it its admit £2.5k upgrade.
Heads up and Harmon Kardon is a must
I defo want one but I hear the non comp power delivery is not as good as the comp and more likely to be more unpredictable with the back end, is it true ?
After a tune for extra hp, doesn't matter, they are both crazy good
Is that black m3 not sold?
I would have the white one. it has that lovely interior
How much did you have them both up for ?
Don’t suppose you have any c350 cdis in stock. I want one but would like to see your view on them if you have one!
Whats going on with the m3 touring project gone very quiet?
What’s happening with the touring?
Can you do some other than bmw.When I first join it was all cars.Normal Cars.Thanks Neil.
Sunday 👍
That mustang looks tasty can’t wait for next video 👌🏿
Rather have the non comp pack personally looks wise, put the 3k towards having it in San Marino blue
Currently got an F80 M3 in San Marino blue as my wallpaper, looks sooo good

Yeah mix it up calvin, definitely take a break from the BMW'S 👍👍
Would love to see content on a Mercedes amg c63(s)
I think the F80 M3s are good value for money now. I'd have it in the Comp spec though
Try and get a Focus RS on the channel Calv 😉
An AMG would be a nice breath of fresh air
That black m3 😍
Would take the normal f80 any much way better colour combinations with interior
Both nice cars , but wouldn't swap any of them for my E46 M3.
Cracking sound of that engine and I like the M3 especially with its flared arches, makes the M3 easily recognisable 👍👍
I prefer the m2 now over the m3.
Good content keep it up
More merc content please
You mean when your in the car you hear the speakers playing fake sound...
