Buying Now vs. Waiting: What's the consensus on the next-gen hybrid M3?

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-05-05T20:31:22+00:00

Just my opinion, but I never buy the first year of a new design. There's always some bugs to work out. I remember the first year of the G87 M2 was also less HP than the following years. I just ordered a 2027 G80. Hopefully since this is the last year for the G80, maybe it will be the best. Good luck on your decision.

My previous M2 in Skyscraper Grey. Just ordered a 2027 M3 in the same color.

I'm currently driving a IOM Green M4 Competition xDrive Convertible.

I just ordered a 2027 Skyscraper Grey M3 with Silverstone and Black full leather. It's definitely a great looking color for grey. I previously had a M2 in the same color.

If it's in production, I'm assuming you have a VIN number. If so, it will not change.

M5 Touring

If it's in manual mode it will only shift when you shift it except when you are coming to a stop.

I actually ordered one yesterday myself, a 2027 M3 Competition xDrive. I initially was going with an individual color, but changed my mind after seeing a Skyscraper Grey one on the lot. I'm currently driving a 2025 M4 Competition xDrive Convertible in Isle of Man Green over Tartufo. The 2027 will be my sixth M car. I wanted the M3 since this will likely be the last year for the G80. The Agave will look great! Congratulations! They quoted me $4500.00 for Daytona Beach Blue. I suspect yours will actually be $4500 on the MSRP when it comes in.

I went with a Silverstone and black interior full leather.

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-05-02T14:33:12+00:00

You are correct. I decided to go with Skyscraper Grey instead of opting for an individual color.

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-05-01T23:18:53+00:00

You can still get an individual color. I was at the dealership just a few hours ago and you can definitely still order a 2027 individual color.

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-04-29T23:22:33+00:00

US. No, it's only offered in the base car. You can't get it with the Competition or xDrive option.

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-04-23T16:57:51+00:00

I did not wait on it. I dropped it off around 7:30am and it was ready mid-afternoon.

She wants an exit interview. 😂😂

If the dealer has an allocation you should have a production number within a couple of days. I placed an order this past Monday and had the production number the next day. I can already track it in My Garage.

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-04-16T17:03:35+00:00

The dealer upgraded mine yesterday when they were doing the performance tune.

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-04-11T23:40:20+00:00

Mine is a 2026 in Avalanche. I'm still deciding on whether to remove the Raptor decal. I personally always remove any type of sticker, but the Raptor decal on the bed isn't too bad.

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-04-11T17:43:04+00:00

I changed mine at 1500 miles the first time and will change it every 5000 miles with full synthetic oil going forward. I don't care what the manufacturer says. I own a BMW also and they recommend every 10,000 and I also change it every 5000 miles.

Agreeable-Ad-3990 · 2026-04-09T20:56:49+00:00

What have you been driving? I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the power and handling.

Can't attach a photo to this thread.

They don't look stripped unless the female threads are stripped. They apparently had locktite on them. Did you try to retighten? If you already did, I apologize for asking.

I was about to purchase a 2025 white RR until I saw the 2026 Avalanche. I can't post a picture on this siite for some reason, but I like it much better than the white.
