I never understand these kinds of comments. M cars are not track cars and never will be, M cars are meant to be high performance daily drivers, not “weekend cars” like a GT3 RS or an SF90. The daily driver component will never go away. The M3 is just as much of a daily driver as an M340i is.
Eh? There are tons of M cars used as track cars. It’s as much as track car as anything that is street legal. It has things like cooling and oiling changes specifically for the track.
I think they mean it’s not a track-specific car. It’s an every day sedan that is also built for a track. It’s not a track car that also happens to be street legal.
I’m not particularly knowledgeable on every BMW model, but aren’t those specifically different variants which are more track-oriented? A regular M3 isn’t.
I love my CS. I love the extra power, CS only color, more aggressive DCT tuning, suspension tuning, I love the better handling and I love that it weighs less than the others. It’s been my daily driver for almost four years now. I prefer it over the regular cars.
I’ve also lost count of the dozens upon dozens of regular M3 and M4 running around that I’ve encountered with a cheap copy of the hood, front splitter, wheels, rear spoiler and especially the taillights of my CS.
The G80 M3 is even more feasible as a daily driver than the F80, which is what my point is as well. Each generation of M cars becomes more viable as a daily driver while also gaining more performance for their sport mode. There is a clear emphasis in providing daily usability while also providing performance, whereas track cars are focused on sacrificing anything to pull the best track times. The G82 M4 CSL is arguably a track car, since it does exactly that. The Huracan STO is a track car. An M3? Not a chance
That really depends on your preferences, to be honest- it’s not “objective” at all. I personally enjoy DDing a car that feels special everyday and that handles with more sharpness. The argument for M lites being better dailies mostly comes from the softer suspension, but I prefer the bumps myself. I feel like I’m driving something raw and alive that keeps my attention on driving. Hell, 80% of the time I don’t even turn on my radio because the driving experience is that enjoyable.
Comfy daily? M340i. Weekend/track car? M3.
You can daily an f80 easily and comfortably
M3 isn’t a terrible daily tho. Just not as good as an M340
Why would you get a four door sedan as a track only car?
buddy why do you have to add your own words to his statement
Pal, how can you not infer that he asked a rhetorical question? He didnt make an additional statement to add onto the first.

CS, CSL and GTS have entered the chat.

Oh yeah I bet.
I only have the 330e. It’s my first car but honestly it’s fantastic. It’s pretty incredible compared to the Hiluxes I drive at work.
It’s a shame because now I will always be wanting an M car.
It’s just as feasible to daily drive an M3, but an M3 is an objectively worse daily driver than a non-M.
I say this as someone who daily drives an F80 M3 lol.
Why?
