Indeed, I think all cars look so much better when you see them up close, they have a physical presence that you don't get from an image, especially cars like these, they are beasts you really have to see!
Speaking of the perfect daily: A few weeks ago I saw a beautiful M340i touring 2017 in white with MPPSK and 360hp for less than 25k € in Hungary. It had a (of course repaired) little collision with some sort of deer beforehand. It was sold immediately.. 😂🎉
Its truly insane how good these cars look in person. Videos truly dont do them justice. I was on the fence about getting a m3 or m4 and after i saw it in person i signed my life away in a heartbeat 😂😂
It is just like that. I struggled a lot seeing it on screen and sometimes even nowadays it looks sometimes weird…. But, everytime I see that front in person it turns my head like nothing before. I love the design and the time will come that I own one ;)
The car is epic, undoubtedly. For me, it comes across on video so well because you're so down to earth and honest about it - not clickbait sh*t just straight up and honest. So relaxing, relatable and refreshing to see a video like yours, Joe. For 30 minutes, I get to sit back and forget about everything else that is going on! I hope you and the family had a great trip and made some amazing memories - as let's face it, that's what it is all about. From fellow petrol head - currently in a rut driving a car, he hates 😂❤️
Except for track days, road trips with some spirited driving on side roads, is what it's all about. This is how I get the most out of the superlative M3. I love this type of content. Keep it up.
Changed my macan gts for an m3 with ultimate pack and ceramics after watching your videos review with no regrets, fantastic car. Bought for £78k used when specced to about £107k when new, just need to change the Pirelli p zero corsa which are rubbish in standing water, for some PS4’s.
Wonderful way to celebrate 250,000 subscribers Joe with a video with your family, in a stunning location and in what I feel is your favourite car yet 🎉
My M3 Touring is Isle of Man Green, for keeping it clean getting a full car PPF and ceramic coating applied was worth every cent. Fantastic car and I love driving it.
IOM Green is a lovely color and deals with dirt, marks and scratches miles better than my flat BRG. PPF certainly helps, but not worth it when I only ever plan to keep the car for 12-18 months... Glad you're enjoying it!
As I told you before I was really looking forward to this video ! I love your travelvids so badly and it's so good you took your parents with you! I am also a MTB and road biker so how cool is it you met Tom Pidcock! I also hope to see more vids you made in the alps🤝🤟
Man you right I agree alpina is just killer m3 very fast car any speed or drag or full speed we saw test b3 beat m3 easy b3 smooth automatic aerodynamics noise wind fix by alpina sound deep Bass hear nice noise of engine natural plus alpina use low rpm turbo sec higher RPM boost crazy fast smooth no jerky
Great video as always Joe! Would love to see you review the Alpina B3 - reviews I have seen seem to say it addresses the low down torque issue with the S58 you described and would be great to get your take on it.
@@JoeAchilles1 I picked up my 2024 M3 Competition (sedan) at the same time you picked up your BRG Estate, and I made the dealership leave all the blue film on so I could have the satisfaction of pulling it off myself haha. Very therapeutic! 😊 Oh and all of your G8x purchases were a big influence on me getting the M3 (traded in a 2022 RS5 and really liked your comparison videos) 👍🏻
Watching this while my mint green lci g81 (with buckets, ceramics, etc) awaits a build in September. Looking forward to the build, already stock piling my parts, eventuri, Akra, alpha n bonnet…
@@JoeAchilles1 your many g8x videos have been great to watch back. After the love hate rship with my f80 comp, I wrote the g8x off completely. Actually had a custom b3 touring build approved, then by chance drove a g80 and was like, oh they’ve fixed everything I hated about the f80 - sound, nvh, ride…. and once you sit deep down low in those buckets, its impossible to go back
Congrats on the new subscribers! I'm not that old here, but I love the honesty and simplicity on all your reviews...hope the channel keeps growing! Cheers from Argentina! 😎
Belated congrats on the channel growth bro!! It's kind of strange how you were so excited to get the touring and now you're on your second one LOL. But of course if you can afford it you got to go for it of course! And to get it in BRG, brilliant.
Nice video! I love the green of your car. It's amazing. I owm myself an M3 touring Skyscrapper grey since 3 months, and i love it. I switch from a 2020 M340i Touring black sapphire and i can now make some conclusion between the two. First. the M3 is incredible, especialy when you push it, you can feel the power difference without hesitation, but on some points, i "regret" my M340i. The versatility is certainly better on the M340i, because of the comfort ride who i thing was realy more confortable in the M light version. The M3 is ok on the swiss roads where i come from, but not as good as the M340i. The panoramic roof is on option i would like on the M3. Sadly, it's not possible. Ant the noise: it's definitely louder on the M3, but nicer on the M340i. And i would not speak of the fuel consumption. Finally, i can't say i regret the M340i, cause i love the M3, his look, his power, his ride qualities in sport modes. But the M340 remains a reasonably good option for less money. There's something I'm hesitant to add to my M3: it's an exhaust like your Miltek. It looks good, and it sounds better than the stock one. And last observation between my M3 and M340i: the skyscrapper grey is much more easier to maintain clean the the black sapphire.
Jeez Joe when I think back to first meeting you with my son and Shmee at Gumball in London, little did you know what lay ahead with regards to the RUclips channel - brilliant to see you eclipse 250k subscribers. All the best, Kevin
having coincidentally been on a similar trip around the same time period, and spotting you a couple times, I must say these roads are to die for 😍 could only imagine how they would feel in an m3
Clearly one of the best cars BMW currently makes, I absolutely love it. Would have to be mad to buy an M5 touring over one of these IMO, far too big heavy and not sure you really gain much from it.
Great video, Joe. Looking at the height of your parents i presume they made you sleep in grow bag when you were growing up! I hope you all had a great trip and made some memories.
Love watching your videos and your honest opinions.. helped me a lot in purchasing my 2024 m3 xdrive sedan earlier this year.. love the car and looks so much more muscular and aggressive in person, actually like the front grill and laser headlights:)
Great video Joe - I always love to see the trips you take your cars on! I was actually down in the French alps with a couple of friends at the same time and we must have very nearly crossed paths seeing these roads you were on. Thanks to your videos on it, I insisted we had a good blast up the Col De La Bonette and it absolutely lived up to the expectations! The red rock road waits for us on a future trip as unfortunately the other 2 cars in the group sort of blew up on the D28, just before we reached it! I was in my M2 comp and found the S55 very similar to how you describe the S58 in this video. It surprised me how much I found it needing a gear lower than usual at altitude!
Nice work Joe. I have the buckets in my G87 M2 and manual I am so glad I got them would not hesitate again to have them. If you track the cars the buckets are a must such a difference. M3 wagons are nuts too.. lottery ticket then can get one👍 S58 is just so good.
Those wheels are sick! Kind of looks like the F80 CS wheels, they look so flipping good I want a G81 in blue with yellow headlights, like they had on AutotopNL recently 👌
Great review, love that part of France on my bike, never driven there though! So glad you didn't squash that animal at the end - don't think I could have watched you any more 🤣🤣
On the Carbon Bucket seats Joe, agree they’d be super for more legroom in the backseats but, have you ever had small children in the back seats, you know about age 6-7, who’s little legs are too short to bend at the knee like an adults and, invariably just stick straight out? I think they’d scuff the life out of the CF on the back of the seats 🤷♂️ I’ve never run the Red Rock Road, but I’ve driven the whole of the route Napoleon and all round the Gorge du Verdun and they are amazing rounds, I’m guessing the Red Rock Road is not too far away. Great video and some great insights into my next car purchase 😉
You lucky man 😂. In our G21 our two 7 year old grandsons,fit my description above and ‘normally’ take their shoes off, head planted in tablets and are generally no bother, that car is the kids/dogs/workhorse and is fantastic at the job, I’d expect the same from the G81. My G22 440i on the other hand, rules are shoes off! On the paint colour conundrum, the individual BRG does look good, Isle of Man Green or one of the frozen colours would be my choice. Thanks for your reply 👍🏼
My first car was this color Kept it cleaned and waxed and it was beautiful… Parking under trees is not a good idea nor is not washing the car regularly and drive it in winter in very cold Canada … when dirty.. after a trip went straight to car wash to remove salt and drive back after weekend washed it again..
I simply wouldn’t know how to drive on those roads - the car would still be writhing around all over the road avoiding pot holes that weren’t there 🤣 🇬🇧
Looking on the UK Configurator I’m shocked to discover that Metallic paint, Carbon Fibre Interior trim, High Beam assistant, Driving assistant, Acoustic glass and Red Brake calipers - that were all either standard or no-cost on my M3cT - are now expensive options or part of the now must have Technology pack. RIP Comfort pack. Wow!
Gr8 car. Ordered faced lift model arriving this Autumn. Went for aventurine red and standard seats. Ps. Stunning road. France - some more coordinates pls 😃
The B9 is a great car but it is reaching the end of its life now. Car tech and design moves so quickly it definitely shows its age next to anything post 2020. The M3 Touring is in a different league.
@@PrinceBarin77 I realy wanted to like it ,as driven b6 and b7 but thought it lacked grit and thrill , wouldv bought it there n then if it had that feel but sadly had to walk away . Yea I've never been BMW fan but will Def have to try .
I found the previous F80 generation to be beautiful but the road noise (in particular tyre noise) around town on poor roads was absolutely awful. It seems the G80 saloon version is better in that regards but this touring version has the same problem due to the larger interior. You have to ask yourself, how often is the car realistically going to be full enough to reduce that noise? How many people are going to take these cars to nicely maintained French roads? They will be used for commutes to work and school runs on crappy UK roads. The handling however is godly and puts a smile on your face every time.
What are those wheels brand and color? They look just perfect on that car. I live in USA and sadly I won't be seeing one here anytime soon if ever, but yours looks glorious!
@@Becausefamilycar yeah and any efficiency boosting turbocharging, before you get into the 10+ years of vehicle development which should also boost the gap further.
@@JoeAchilles1 To put it a better way, they might as well have put the 4.4 V8 turbo in it and be done with it! 😏 When they trickle down in value I think it could replace my B8… one day, maybe. Thanks for the great content and reply!
Would be interesting you driving the new Porsche 911 GTS with the e-Hybrid Turbo. How does it feel at lower RPMs? Would this be more like the 440i with 48V mild hybrid?
Very nice color. Individual paint finish is definitely worth full PPF. I did full PPF on my G80 M3 Comp in Dravit Grey (like your previous) for the peace of mind. Way easier to keep clean, and if you don't have time, no worries, its covered.
Gonna watch this before filming mine 😁
Good idea buddy, learn from the pros 😂
Indeed, I think all cars look so much better when you see them up close, they have a physical presence that you don't get from an image, especially cars like these, they are beasts you really have to see!
M3 touring is one of the best daily drivers money can buy 👌
Agreed!
Speaking of the perfect daily: A few weeks ago I saw a beautiful M340i touring 2017 in white with MPPSK and 360hp for less than 25k € in Hungary. It had a (of course repaired) little collision with some sort of deer beforehand. It was sold immediately.. 😂🎉
His confortable ?

@@JoeAchilles1 To put it a better way, they might as well have put the 4.4 V8 turbo in it and be done with it! 😏 When they trickle down in value I think it could replace my B8… one day, maybe. Thanks for the great content and reply!
Yeah , but this car would destroy the Audi performance wise
I owned one , sounds superb but the lack of torque is a major problem ,
i love the colour
Great car
Would be interesting you driving the new Porsche 911 GTS with the e-Hybrid Turbo. How does it feel at lower RPMs? Would this be more like the 440i with 48V mild hybrid?
Thanks!
Theres only one thing more dirty than the racing green paint… the dirty/dusty/finger print covered dash screens 👀 😂
Well done 👏
i see the blue protection stickers ar still on the m3 logos in the seats? 😁
Great video. Do you prefer this to the RS6?
Very nice color. Individual paint finish is definitely worth full PPF. I did full PPF on my G80 M3 Comp in Dravit Grey (like your previous) for the peace of mind. Way easier to keep clean, and if you don't have time, no worries, its covered.
