Yes, read that. Makes sense to not mismatch hardware/software.
I really rate the steering upgrade. -

Big upgrade in smoothness especially 0-10 and 10-0km. It doesn’t ‘slap’ as hard with redline changes so the car doesn’t get upset / break traction in s2.
The burbles are a bit different and sound more ‘random’ rather than the exact same ‘blub blub blub bulb’ every time.
Steering is significantly better - feel closer to hydraulic ( I only use comfort).
MDM - I didn’t really go that hard before I did this, but you can get decent slip now.
Overall great upgrade (especially for slow commuting) with no downside.- 1

Here is my 2018 M3 Comp. It’s my daily driver and I’m impressed with it as an all rounder. Big boot, comfortable in soft modes, 9lt/100 on long trips, (gets very thirsty when boosting though) great seats, sounds.
I’ve added CarPlay and the GTS/CS DCT, EDC, steering and diff software, which I would definitely recommend. A boot luggage hook and PSS* tyres…

I'd argue you have to be a way better driver to handle an F80 than an e30. The F series M cars are so lairy.
A lot of pros and cons to each. And I think depends on your use case. These cars came out as daily 'do it all' cars. And have aged into weekend special cars. I haven't driven every M car, (no m5, no g80 etc.). I am imagining what some are like based on driving other variants.

I notice it doesn't fold my mirrors from the app when locking.

Such a sick wheel.

I used to hate wood trim in the era - now I really like it.
If you're going to get new centre caps, get the OEM floating ones I reckon!

I got mine going too. How does it work with connectivity? They are effectively paying for the SIM connection?
Have to remember to use it. Almost went back to the car to check I locked it the other day.
also, does that mean you can pre-heat/cool when the engine isn't on?

Try another (big brand) battery. I bought a strip of generic batteries for Air tags and they show 'low' out of the packet.

if it's not 'broken' this stuff is excellent for rubber reconditing and stopping squeaks etc

It's in 'mint' condition. I've DM'd you.

In case anyone is thinking of selling or is aware of one potentially coming to market.
TIA!

What does the custom firmware enable ?
Is there a link to this dude people are mentioning ?
or is it DIY flash?Touch wood I’ve only ever had a low camera ticket, so not sure it’s worth the investment.
Big open road drives I can see the value. But not sure from the comments above if they are worth it ? -
Can anyone provide a 2024 summary as to the state of radar detectors?
I understand the instant on thing, that aside are they worth it? Is the Uniden the best? Or what is the best 'bang for buck' option?

An f80 sold on Saturday for full ask, so there are buyers out there.

1 hour ago, Eagle said:I did see that that one hence some better than others comment, but unless he hasn't mentioned or it's just considered general service history it's nothing great imo.
@Harper Yeah exactly and why you rarely see stuff like that for sale.
All new suspension, bushings, engine mounts, g/box mounts, shift linkages, RTABS, diff seals, prescribed inspections, valve adjustment etc etc.

1 minute ago, Harper said:At that point I think they just end up being worth more to keep. Just ticked over 190km in my M3, if I were to sell it I think the mileage would put most people off despite it likely being mechanically one of the best. Engine fully rebuilt, almost everything in the suspension replaced at least once. I can't imagine selling it any time soon. There is nothing close to as good as an E46 M3 with a carbon airbox in the same price range.
Well I'm here to test the market for you as I'm in the same boat. Kiwi's love to buy cars based on ODO... Educated purchasers know to look deeper. How many are out there, not sure....

Here you go. Significantly better and fresher than it was at 95km

There is none. You'd have to repaint.

Such a great build. Just looks 'correct'.
